Antonio's POV
I looking down at my watch reading 6:25pm, waiting in the hall in front of the elevator. When I hear foot steps approaching, I don't waste time to push the elevator button.
"Ready?" I say, finally looking in her direction. Her hair was pushed back, behind her shoulder giving me a better view of her neckline. "Yes" she says softly without furthering my gaze I look away turning to the now open elevator doors.
Taking the first step in and pushing the button to the garage. I pleasantly surprised that she hasn't tried to make conversation. Although we will need to conversate eventually seeing how starting tomorrow Michael's so called ingenues plan begins. Aside form the years of social media hinting, I apparently have an Instagram and have been hiding my relationship long distance form the 'public eye.'
Met with cool breeze as the doors slide open, nodding to the guard who prepared the car I make my way to the drivers seat. Looking to my right seeing door being held open for my 'future wife' hearing her quietly thank the guard before take her seat. "Im sure you already know but to tomorrow we will make are first unofficial public appearance." I say while puling out of the garage onto the main street.
"Im aware, I've already read of their plans. I will say I'm rather surprised assuming you're the one who approved of them." Her voice is soft but steady almost as if she unbothered by it all. I wont lie I haven't read through them I just aimlessly approved them when Micheal would bring them over for review. I was always to busy I didn't have the time or care to read them.
"I've skimmed them nothing seemed to stand out." she scoffs and clears her thought as if she trying to hold back a laugh. Furthering my confusion I make a mental note to read the plans over later tonight. I glance over to her skeptically "I would suggest you read them through, you wouldn't want to be caught to off guard tomorrow."
"Noted" the rest of the car ride is silent until we pull into my parents drive way.

Adrianna's POV
After pulling into the drive way Antonio puts the car in park and begins to exist. Before I can fully take off my seat belt off the passenger side door is being held open. Giving a polite smile I get up and out of the car, before walking towards the front door a slightly adjust the skirt of my dress.
I make my way to the the door where Antonio waits, its doesn't take long for the door to open and be met that a familiar smile. "Toni" she say open her arms for a hug "momma" he say stepping in to the home to hug is mother.
"Mia nuora" she says (my daughter in law) throwing slightly off gaurd seeing how we aren't married yet. I give her a shy smile "Aahh you look beautiful, come we'll be family soon, from now on call me momma. " Opening her arms again I give her a hug.
Entering the beautiful home for the second time today, I follow after Gloria into the living room. We give our pleasantry's before siting down. I sit on the same couch as did this morning but instead of the center I sit off to the side.
Everyone continues their conversation and it no more then 10 min late we make our way the the dining room. Entering the dining room I watch for everyone to take there place. "bellissima sit here" Gloria say gesturing to the chair that is in front of Antonio's. I nod as a reply taking my seat and placing the napkin on my lap.
Dinner goes by smoothly and I'm asked simple questions about my interest, education and any expectation I have going my marriage. I respond to them all with the script my father drilled in my brain from early age. I find it all funny they ask questions they already know the answers to, as if they don't have well organized file on me stored somewhere in a office cabinet.
Before we know it dinner is over, wanting the night end on a good note I stayed quiet some of the time. Speaking only when spoken too, by the time we are back in the car its 9:30pm and I'm exhausted.
Antonio's POV
We finally made it back home the car ride was silent so was the elevator ride up.
I make my way to my office not ready to call it night yet. I sink into my chair and sigh staring at the stack of papers on my desks. Reaching over grabbing the packet thats has tomorrows plans, I flip open and begin to read.
De'luca x Russo
First call to action would be to draw attention to public outings.........
.........it would be best to keep things subtle........physical touch we will began with simple interactions.....
- Handholding
- hugging
- occasional PDA
PDA will be necessary to further the realism of the relationship..........
....Coffee shop dates, lunch, dinners, indoor/outdoor activities, etc..
..Matching outfits...
We will control the media's output, under the peer determined agreements, paparazzi will be called intensionally to better controlled......
I threw the packet on to my desk and rub my face out of frustration. Micheal you sneaky little... matching outfits, really?
