Euphoria smiled wide as she walked hand in hand with Demetrius. She had finished writing her final exam. Now all she had to do is wait and see if she graduated or not. Demetrius had come to pick her up and take her out. He wanted to take her shopping as a gift for staying focused during her studies and for the fact that she didn't allow him to spend large amounts of time with him while she did so. They now just entered the mall with their guards in tow.

"So what are we getting?" She quirked her brow at him.

"Anything you want mio amore. Think of this place as your giant closet." He stated.

"Demetrius you know I don't like you spending money on me or money in general. I'm not used to it."

"I'm a billionaire you should get used to it." He shrugged before pulling her close. "But, no matter the amount of gifts, clothes and jewels will ever compare to your beauty." His green eyes bore into her very own honey brown ones.

"Gosh you're too smooth cornball." She shook her head as she glanced around briefly. "I don't even know where to start."

"How about a dress for the dinner tonight?" He suggested.

"Ok but does it have to be a dress though? It's just dinner." She asked as she swung their hands back and forth. "Plus it's not like the food will appreciate or compliment me on my clothes."

Demetrius chuckled. "True but we are eating out and you'll be meeting my mother, father, sister and brothers. Wouldn't want to make a horrible first impression do we now?"

"I have bags under my eyes, ink on my fingers; wrist and face, and a bird's nest for hair. I'm sure I'll make the most unforgettable first impression." Euphoria smiled cheekily.

"I'll arrange something for you." He pulled out his phone.

"No you will not." She grabbed him phone. "You've done enough for me already and plus you're spending time with me. I will not have you touching this contraption unless it's necessary." She shoved his phone into her pocket.

"Tesoro I promise not to do anything but I will need my phone back. I'll need to know when business is calling."

Euphoria pursed her lips. "Fine but if I find that you did something I'll kick you."

"Are you hungry?" He teased.

"Not every threat I make is because I'm hungry Demetrius." She rolled her eyes with a smile and she pulled him into a store.

~¤~

Euphoria grumbled under her breath as she adjusted her wrist watch. Demetrius had gone and booked her a two hour spa treatment and had gotten her hair and nails done. Although she appreciates what he did for her she was still a bit sour that he went behind her back and got this all arranged after she asked him not to.

"You look beautiful mi bella." He kissed her temple the moment she had stood infront of him.

Euphoria had dressed in a pair of black skinny jeans, white thick turtle neck and black heeled boots. Her hair was done up into a messy mop on the top of her head with a black wrap wrapped around her head allowing the curls to fall forward and graze her forehead. She wore a pair of hopped earings, the chain Demetrius gave her, two more silver chains varying in length but not longer than the chain, her uncle's wrist watch and a few rings graced her fingers. For her make up look she had gone for a more natural look with slightly glossy lips.

"Thank you. You look handsome." She grinned as she took in his black jeans, black dress shirt and black dress shoes. "Won't you get cold?"

"I have a jacket in the car and you? Will you be fine for the night?" He quirked his brow.

"Yes I will. I'm wearing a long sleeve top under this."

Demetrius had driven them to the restaurant in one of his many sports cars and she couldn't care to remember the name of. It wasn't even in English. It was a Italian sports car. None of the buttons were in English either so Euphoria didn't bother to touch anything.

"Aren't we a little underdressed?" Euphoria asked as she watched him hand his keys to the valet. I knew should've gotten a dress earlier. Damn it! Why didn't I listen to him? Euphoria had convinced him to dress differently with her earlier that day because she didn't want to buy and wear a dress that she would hardly wear.

"No." He shook his head. "Everyone is just over dressed." He smirked at her.

The hostess quickly led them to a private area of the restaurant. Euphoria couldn't help but take in the over dressed people, as Demetrius puts it, and noted how most were uncomfortable in their attire. It's a damn shame they get all dressed up to only eat food.

Once inside their private area Euphoria relaxed slightly at the semi- casual attire everyone wore, besides the older man in the suit. Euphoria knew for sure that must be his father. He sat at the head of the table besides a woman who smiled all too brightly.

"Mama." Demetrius kissed his mother cheeks after he embraced her in a brief hug.

"Hi Demetrius." She beamed at him before glancing at Euphoria.

"Mama this is Euphoria la mia donna Euphoria Kreek, il mio amore this is my mama Penelope D'Agostino." He stepped aside. A pale woman with curly black hair, brown eyes, pink pouty lips, rosey cheeks and a small button nose stepped forward. She wore a dark pink wool well fitting dress that ended above her knees, stockings and black ankle boots.

"Nice to meet you Mrs. D'Agostino." Euphoria threw on her best smile as she stretched out her hand to her.

"It's about time I meet the woman who stole my bambina's heart." Penelope threw herself at Euphoria, embracing her in a hug as she exclaimed.

Euphoria giggled slightly as she caught the petite woman. She couldn't help but sigh slightly at the motherly affection. One that she missed too much.

"Ok enough mama." Demetrius chuckled as tugged her off slightly.

"Oh right sorry. I'm just so excited." Penelope bounced in her spot.

"It's ok. You give really great hugs." Euphoria smiled politely.

"Awe aren't you adorable." Penelope squealed slightly. Ok this woman must give me whatever she's taking because I want some of it.

"This is my idiot of a brother Benedetto." Demetrius introduce. A man who was just s few inches shorter than Demetrius stepped forward. His brown eyes stood out despite his curly chocolate brown hair. A smirk played on his naturally pink plump lips, sharp pointy crocked nose stood out along with the pink jagged scare on the top of his forehead. He was built with pure muscle that looked ready to pop out through his dark green silk shirt and black jeans. He screamed trouble.

"You can call me Benny." He engulfed her in a hug ignoring her hand as well. He lifted her up of her feet and spun her around.

"It's nice to meet you too Benny." Euphoria squealed. This must be a family of huggers.

"I'm so happy to have a sister." He grinned.

"Put her down before you squeeze the life out of her." A deep burly voice spoke from behind him.

"And you do have a sister." Penelope quipped.

"Sorry." He apologised to Euphoria with a slight tint on his cheeks. "And that isn't my sister. My demon that haunts me everyday? Sure." He shrugged as he stepped aside.

"This is my Papa Emilio. Papa this is Euphoria Kreek mia regina." Pride shun through his eyes.

"Mr. D'Agostino nice to meet you." She held out her hand for the intimidating man. His forest green bore into her honey brown ones. Her eyes took in his curly chocolate brown hair with grey streaks, thin pink lips, high cheek bones, pointy nose, sharp jawline covered in a light five o'clock shadow and his muscular body clad in a black suit and white button up shirt.

"Sorry about pops he doesn't know the meaning of semi-casual." Benedetto popped his head before them.

"I'm not wearing a tie." He stated with a shrug. "Nice to meet you Euphoria." He leaned in and kisses both her cheeks. "Welcome to the family." He spoke after his eyes had darted down to the chain around her neck.

"Thank you." Euphoria smiled shyly.

"And this is my sister Imelda D'Agostino." Demetrius introduced the last of them. Imelda has long chocolate brown curly hair, forest green eyes, high cheek bones, rosey cheeks, thin pink lips and a pointy straight nose. Her slender frame was clad in a black long sleeve dress that ended mid high and black thigh high boots.

"Nice too meet you Imelda." Euphoria smiled, slightly holding her hand out.

"Can't say the same about you." She lifted her nose in the air looking down at her with a scowl.

Bitčh.
