Married to the COLD CEO

CHAPTER 9 - MEETING HER PERSONALLY

Just as the sight of a princess like goddess appeared as the door of the chapel opened, Sebastian was immediately lost for words. In fact he even struggled to maintain his cold and straight facial expression at the sight of Theresa coming closer to him.

As Theresa neared the altar, Sebastian could not hold it any longer as the memories of how it all started came flooding in his mind.

Sebastians POV: Flashback

"Mom, how do I look?" Sebastian shouted as he came running down the stairs to where his mom was waiting for him.

"You know son, you always looks good in my eyes. But frankly speaking, you look fine. Why are you so anxious?" Mrs. Smith asked casually as he tried to fix the collar of her son's polo shirt.

Sebastian was wearing a casual dark blue polo shirt and light brown trousers as he paired it with a loafer. He looks very elegant but casually.

"Mom! this will be the very first time I will be personally talking to Theresa. I mean- first time that outside school and me out of trouble." Sebastian answered as he alughed faintly.

Though both have known each other for a long time, but they never had a real conversation aside when he got intpo trouble and Theresa somehow saved him.

"Don't worry you will be fine. And I am sure Theresa is also excited to see you." Mrs. Smith answered as he winked at Sebastian as if sensing the excitement her son was feeling at the moment.

"Thanks mom! I better wait for her at the lobby, She just texted that she is near."

"You go ahead, I will inform your father first and we will meet them later." Mrs. Smith answered as Sebastian hurriedly left.

After a few minutes of anxiously waiting, finally a black Bentley car came rolling down their driveway and Sebastian was pretty certain that he can feel his heartbeat very fast.

Soon the car stopped by the main door of the mansion and one of Theresa's bodyguard who was sitting at the front came out of the car first and opened the door.

The moment Theresa stepped out of the car, Sebastian felt very different. He was happy, excited and nervous. he ahd mixed emotions all over. Most especially that Theresa swept him off his feet.

She was wearing a white casual polo shirt accentuated with pink patterns paired with a checkered wrap around skirt and a kitten open toe shoes. She looks very stunning even in casual clothes.

"Theresa." Sebastian mumbled softly seeing her get off the vehicle with her usual bright smile, but today Sebastian felt it was her brightest.

"Sebastian!" Theresa called him out and rushed towards him as she suddenly gave him a big hug which caught Sebastian off guard.

It took him a few seconds to realize that Theresa hugged her. "oh! It's real. She is real, she is finally here." Sebastian thought to himself as he slowly hugged her back.

"I'm so glad I got to see you again! I thougtht I wouldn't be able to send you off!" Theresa spoke excitedly as she let go of the hug and face Sebastian smiling.

Sebastian did not answer right away as he was lost in his thoughts, as if he was like in a trance at the sight of Theresa.

It was only until Sebastian realized and heard that the people around them were softly giggling at them that he realized that Theresa was waiting for him to speak. But Just before he was about to say something, Theresa held her hand.

"Hey? Are you okay? Did I say something bad?" Theresa asked worriedly, as to why he never spoke anything since she arrived.

Sebastian then hurriedly answered, afraid he might have offended Theresa. "Oh no! I am good. Very goos actually." Sebastian answered as he smiled and paused. "I am very glad that you made it. I'm- happy to see you. I mean- finally see you in person again." Sebastian added but immediately regretted what he said.

"Damn it! Why did i told her that? she might think i'm a freak or a psychopath." Sebastian thought to himself regretfully.

But to his surprise Theresa's answer were pretty honest too.

"Me too." Theresa answered and smiled.

But before Sebastian can say more, Mrs. Smith arrived and greeted Theresa.

"Oh dear Theresa! How was your trip?" Mrs. Smith asked the moment she saw Theresa.

Theresa then moved forward towards her and gave her a peck on the cheeks.

"Hello Auntie! I am good. I just arrived earlier today."

"Oh! you must be tired, are you sure you are okay?" Mrs. Smith asked worriedly.

"Yes! I rested during the flight. I promised Sebastian I would see him before he will leave for college so I hurriedly came over." Theresa answered honestly and excitedly as Mrs. Smith smiled and raised a brow of approval to Sebastian.

But hearing Theresa's answer gave Sebastian butterfies in the tummy and great appreciateion for the effort she had given him.

"Where are your parents? Are they coming?" Mrs. Smith asked curisouly, seeing that Theresa was only with her bodyguards.

"Yes auntie. They are still finishing something and will come over in time for lunch. uhmm- is uncle here auntie?"

"Yes dear, she is still on a meeting in the study but she will meet you and your parents later." Mrs. Smith answered as she paused when she saw his son giving him a signal to leave from behind Theresa.

"I think you two teens should go and catch up, while I go check on the kitchen." Mrs. Smith added as she smiled at Theresa and Sebastian as she headed off.

Just as Mrs. Smith left, Theresa then looked back at Sebastian who was standing behind her.

"I brought something for you!" Theresa then gestured her assistant to get the paper bags from the car as they handed it to Sebastian.

"I don't really know what you like, so I bought a few things that I think you coulde use in college." Theresa added as she laughed faintly.

It was a few bunches of paper bags, with some clothes, scarfs and ties.

"You shouldn't have, these is a lot. But thank you so much." Sebastian answered as he smiled.

Soon the two of them were at the garden talking to each other.

It started quiet off,. since Seabstian was never a good talker and quiet an introvert, but luckily Theresa did most of the talking and asking. Soon Sebastian got very comfortable around her as he started to open up himself as well.

They basically talk about everything and anything under the sun. From school, family and Theresa's recent trip.

"So, when are you leaving?" Theresa suddenly asked.

"Next week, since class starts in 2 weeks."

"Oh, I see." Theresa answered with sadness in her tone and Sebastian was able to notice and feel the sudden change in Theresa's mood.

But just as he was about to say something, Theresa added.

"So, I won't be seeing you often. It's quiet sad since you know- we just got acquianted and all. It would be pretty nice to hang with you more." Theresa added as she laughed faintly looking away.

"You know, I actually and honestly would love to spend time with you in the few days I have left here in Nation A, if that's okay? I mean- I don't want to be too fast or anything. but- just if you are also free." Sebastian asked not even sure if it was the right thing to say or answer. But it was true, he did really wanted to spend time with Theresa.

"Of course!" Theresa suddenly answered excitedly without second thoughts.

Sebastian then took a deep sigh of relief hearing the answer and smiled as both suddenly laughed faintly. it was like both had the same thoughts but at the same time unsure, but somehow manage to say what they truly wanted to say and luckily got the answer they wanted to hear.

Soon the two were called since Theresa's parents have arrived as well.

Theresa joined her mom and Sebastian's mom for a quick chat at the receiving area while Sebastian went over to his dad and Theresa's dad who were in the opposite room talking.

But just before Sebastian got inside, he overheard his dad talk to Theresa's dad.

"It seem's our children are getting pretty well acquainted with each other, don't you think?" Mr. Smith asked as he laughed.

"I agree. They actually somehow look good together, don't you think?" Mr. Wilson, Theresa's dad added as Mr. Smith nodded and both dad's laughed.

Not wanting to disturb them more, Sebastian then came in and informed the 2 that Lunch has been set and prepared. But just before they left Sebastian was called by his dad.

"Sebastian, you better be good and present youself well."

"Why dad?' Sebastian asked curiously in wonder.

"It seems Theresa's dad likes you." His dad answered with a smirk on his face as if planning something more.

But Sebastian took it differntly, he felt happy at the thought of it. Now that he has somehow made a liking for Theresa.

Soon the 2 family's had a sumptous meal that Sebastian had prepared all by himself. It was a fun and calm meal, that they did not talk about business but only more about their 2 children and themselves.

But Theresa and Sebastian who sat opposite to each other had their own world, as they exchange glances and smiles at each other. They were indeed lost into each other.
