POV Lorenzo Romano

We continued our life like before Lizzy recieved the black roses. We were enjoying getting to know each other. Lizzy stayed more and more at my place. I think she felt safer here.

We didn't stop looking for that guy that sent her the bouquet of black roses. But without traces, it was hard to find someone. Sebastian followed Lizzy around, to be sure that she was safe. She didn't say anything about it, but I am pretty sure she knew. She is too observant.

One evening at dinner, my mother started talking about my birthday.

"What do you want this year for your birthday figlio?" She asked

Lizzy dropped her cutlery. "It's your birthday? Why didn't you tell me?"

"No need to stress dear, his birthday is not until December 16th." My mother told her.

"I don't have enough time to find you a gift." She was in full panic mode.

I laughed and my mother scowled at me "You have time enough Lizzy. And besides, you don't have to give me anything. I have already you." I winked at her.

She scoffed "Time enough? It's only two months from now! I need to start planning." She looked at me, narrowing her eyes and pulled her lip between her teeth. Deep in thought.

"Well Lorenzo, what do you want?" My father asked now.

"Nothing, like I said, I have already everything that I want."

Lizzy scowled at that "Exactly, how on earth I am going to find yousomething." She took her plate and went to the kitchen muttering under her breath.

"Oh dear, what did I started." My mother laughed "I'm sorry son, I'll go see her, see if I can help her." And she went after Lizzy.

*****

Let me tell you, from that moment on there were many secrets going on around me. 

Lizzy and my father were often togheter, whispering to each other. Last week they were seated togheter on the couch, Lizzy had her laptop on her lap and they were looking at something. The moment I entered she closed it. My father said to her "I will take care of that one." and he left the room.

5 minutes ago I went to the kitchen for a glass of water and Lizzy was seated on a chair. My father, Marco and Matteo behind them nodding excited. I overheard Matteo say "wow, that's a beauty."

Even Aiden and Suzy were in it. I wasn't allowed anymore into Lizzy's studio. I tried to ask Matteo and Lilly because they were the easiest prey, but even they kept silent.

"Stop trying to find out man. Where is the fun in that?" Matteo told me.

"Matteo is right. And brother have a little faith in Lizzy. She knows you extremely well; you are going to love it." Julia said when she heard us.

"Fine, but I hate it, everyone is having secrets for me." I almost pouted, I looked like a toddler. Everyone laughed with that. 

December was becoming closer and closer. And Lizzy more excited but also very nervous.

"Lizzy, whatever you are planning, I am going to love it." I tried to assure her.

"I hope so." She seemed concerned.

"Anything your goining to give me, I'll love it. Now come her and make love to me." And I pulled her in my arms on top of me. She smiled at me and started kissing me slowly.
