Natalia's P.O.V

"Are you nervous?" Alessandro inquired leaning against the closet door as he watched me change into my silk black dress. I nodded slightly as I pulled the spaghetti straps up. "A little bit, but I'll be fine."

"I can cancel on them if you want." I shook my head turning to him as I took some black heels off the shelf in the closet.

"You don't want your girlfriend to make a bad impression because you cancelled, do you?" When I said this, he grinned like a madman, making me confused as I walked towards him. "What's with the face?"

"You said you're my girlfriend." I smiled softly, "Aren't I?" He nodded keeping the same bright grin.

"I just like hearing you say it." Alessandro leaned into my lips, bringing me into a soft kiss. His hands held my waist, steadying my body as our lips moved together. I felt all types of emotions from this kiss, I almost couldn't believe how far we had come, it was just a few weeks ago I was telling him to stay away, now it felt like hell whenever we were apart.

His lips felt like serenity, the calming effect they had on me made me never want to let go but sadly the need for air was greater than this want.

I pulled back gently, he rested his forehead against mine, staring down at me. "I want this to work Natalia. Promise me you won't stop meeting me halfway when things get hard." I didn't know what the future held, but I was sure my feelings for him were strong enough to keep us together.

"I promise, I won't. You're probably the best thing that happened to me since my sister died." He placed a kiss against my lips.

"You know you're amazing right?" I smiled nodding, "Good."

Alessandro's P.O.V

When we arrived at the restaurant, we were immediately escorted to our table. I pulled out the chair for Natalia, allowing her to sit, she mumbled a small 'thank you'.

I took a seat in the chair beside her, "My parents said they'll be here in 10 minutes." I informed her, my eyes taking in her stunning features I silently wondered how the hell I had gotten so lucky to have a woman like Natalia. In my eyes, she was nothing less than perfection.

"You know, the staring doesn't get less creepy, just because we're dating?" I grinned at her statement.

"I can't help myself, did I tell you, you look beautiful tonight?" She nodded taking a sip of the water in the wine glass.

"But I can stand to hear it a few more times." She told me smiling, that smile always seemed to make my day better and brighter.

"Sorry, we're late." I heard Kenneth.

Natalia and I turned her way, seeing my father by her side. "It's fine," I reassured them.

"You look absolutely stunning in that dress Natalia," Kenneth stated with a smile, I visibly watched Natalia's tense shoulders relax as she placed a smile of her own on her lips.

"Thank you, you look stunning as well." Once they got seated, we all looked through the menu, trying to figure out what to order.

Once we did, I called the waiter over to take our order, when he left Natalia spoke.

"So how did you both meet?" She asked curiously, my father smiled lovingly at Kenneth deciding to answer the question. "I've known Kenneth for 15 years, I was first married to her sister, but if I'm being honest I was always in love with Kenneth. So when I divorced Alessandro's mother, I didn't hesitate to 'shoot my shot' as you kids say." I forced myself not the laugh at what he said at the end.

"That sounds lovely," Natalia commented obviously amused as well.

"I heard you're a model Natalia?" Kenneth inquired to which Natalia nodded in response. "I am, even though it's a cover up, I enjoy it." I quietly wondered what kind of magazines she modelled for and what pictures she took.

"I used to have a career in modelling, but I've gotten too old for it."

"You look like you're in your 20's," Natalia stated making Kenneth smile and my father nodded in agreement.

"I keep telling her that but she never seems to believe me." Just as he said this the waiter came back with our food, placing it on the table before pouring the wine into our glasses.

"Leave the wine," Natalia told him and he did, moving on to the next table. Noticing my parents had started a conversation of their own, I turned to Natalia.

"How are you feeling? Still nervous?" I asked her, whispering the question. "I'm great, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else." She admitted, I smiled placing a kiss on her cheek.

"Good to know."

We all began to eat, exchanging stories, laughing. I had never enjoyed dinner more than I did now, seeing how relaxed Natalia was around my parents brought me comfort and hope for something more. I have never had feelings this strong before so this was as new to me as it was for her.

I opened Natalia's room door for her, she didn't hesitate to walk through. We had just come back from dinner since it was getting late, "Do you think your parents like me?" She questioned me as I closed the door.

"Yes they do, very much," I reassured her.

"I'm going to take a shower." She informed me, going to the bathroom.

When she came out of the shower, I went into the bathroom and took one myself. Once I was finished, I quickly changed into the boxers I had taken from my room before we went to hers.

I entered her room once again, seeing her scroll through her phone. I didn't hesitate to go on the bed, slipping my body under the covers.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" I inquired softly, she glanced at me nodding, while turning off her phone, resting it on the bedside table.

"Goodnight." She said slipping under the covers as well, I put my arm around her waist pulling her closer to me.

"Goodnight." I planted a soft kiss against her forehead earning a small smile as we both fell asleep.
