The night we met

Chapter 45

Christmas had finally came.

I didn't had my bruised cheek neither the cut of my lip. I had been very busy in my flower-shop since many people ordered a lot a flowers for their Christmas gift. These seasons were the most hard ones for me especially when Lily wasn't in here which meant, more work.

She took a free day since she said she needed to fix some things for her due date.

I had been thinking a lot of things since tonight was the christmas dinner I've been preparing. I was going to cook with Fanny and Lily a menu I had prepared.

The menu included turkey, chicken,  smashed potatoes with sweet sauce, salad, white rice with corn, toasted bread and some vegetables. Including the pumpkin and pecan pie.

Delicious things but a lot of work and then we will need to decorate the table and then dress ourselves. I stressed but Lorenzo coming here stressed me even more. Last time didn't end well, surely enough. I still didn't understood why he I didn't liked him, did he knew how Matteo and I met or about my past? He's just judging without knowing me.

I closed my store around two in the afternoon and dismissed everyone for them to spend tike with their families. Daniel picked us up quickly.

"What are you going to wear tonight?."

"What's the dress code?," William asked smiling at me.

I had invited William too. He had become my friend already. A closer one. He needed to be there because he was like family to the Giordano's.

"Semi formal."

"I'll see what I can wear."

I smiled at him.

•••••••••••••

We were about to finish the food around four. I was adding the wiped cream to the pumpkin pie as Lily sliced the tomatoes for the salad.

"Woah! Do you need help?," Domenico asked as Matteo came behind him fully dressed. Damn.

Matteo looked even hotter with this outfits. He was wearing a light blue long sleeve shirt with dark blue suspenders including his tie. I bitted my lip as I stared at him.

"Since you offer.....come and finish for us. We need to prepare ourselves," Lily said firmly already leaving everything.

They both looked at each other and I started to laugh.

These man I hadn't done this before I may guess.

"You will do fine," I yelled before leaving them standing. Lily and I started to laugh harder but in some way they could mess this up quickly. Oh well....

I went upstairs and looked at my phone. What? It was already six, meaning I had an hour left.

I took my clothes off and I quickly showered. I covered myself with a towel and went straight to the closet. I opened it and I took out a dress I had bought with Lily the time we went to shop Leo's outfits.

It was white with a smooth texture. It was long sleeve and high neck but it was above my legs. I decided to wore my high boots and my wavy long brown hair fell backwards nicely. I applied mascara and lip gloss and then I looked at myself one last time before going downstairs.

My gift to Matteo this Christmas was not something physical. I mean I couldn't find something special that he wanted so I decided to play a song on the piano. I had been practicing a lot even though I didn't knew how to, I looked for videos, even games to learn how. Ha, I know.

I'll tell you the song later, you'll have to wait.

I chose this because he really loved my singing and the thing he loved the most was the piano, but he already has one. Besides its too expensive and why would I buy another one?
