"Hello Hazel, I'm Dominic, it's my pleasure to meet you" he said.

I slowly turned around, so I was straight infront of him now, still not meeting his gaze.

As he held his hand up for me to shake, I thought, should i shake his hand? and why the hell can't I look at him till now!

I guess I'm just super nervous.

As soon as I took his hand in mine I raised my eyes up to see him.

Or should I say see an almost perfect human being infront of me.

Wow, he's dazzling!

Words can't even describe what I'm seeing right now.

The first thing that caught my eye was his beautiful caramel like eyes, they even look more beautiful with the sun hitting them from the window, next was his dark and luscious hair, I wanted just to pass my hand through it, his perfect jaw line like it's been sculptured, and I know that if I continued I'd never stop blabbering about him, oh my god am I really married to that handsome creature !

but hey Hazel you're talking like you've never saw a guy before! wake up!

I said to myself

Wait, am I still shaking his hand ?!!!!!!

I took my hand out of his fast, that was so embarrassing! I wish the ground could crack and swallow me up!

What a first impression I'm making! I feel terribly stupid.

"Nice to meet you too Dominic" I said softly, sure my face was all red because of the stupidness I just made.

He just smiled back at me.

God ! look at that smile and perfect pearly white teeth!

No Hazel no! wake up! no more staring at people!

I thought

After a few seconds the old man came again and told us dinner was ready.

"We'll be there in a minute, thank you Mark" Drake said

Hmm so his name is Mark i should stop calling him the old man now. We walked to the dining room, it's pretty luxurious and a really long dining table was set at the middle of the room with different kind of food, oh my the smell! was I really that hungry or the stress I've been going through is the main reason?

Drake sat at the head of the table, Martha and I next to each other and Dominic on the opposite side facing us.

A long red headed maid started pouring drinks in our glasses, I didn't know what to choose to eat, so I ended up having steak with mushroom sauce, it was really good, after I had the last bite, Drake cleared his throat and said "before we finish dinner, I want to make things clear, you know, about your marriage"

"Sure, go on dad" Dominic said.

"Well, you know you're not officially married yet, I mean your marriage papers are not done yet, you need to go to the court to verify that you are legally married" he said calmly.

"What! I thought by just signing the papers everything was done! I never knew courts will be involved" I blurted out frustrated.

"Yes dad, you said that the marriage will be done by only signing the papers, what happened now?" Dominic said obviously getting annoyed too.
