Euphoria huffed and chucked her brush to the side. It was the day of the event. Her introduction to the D'Agostino family and her hair desided to frizz up. It was big puffy and annoying. The heat of the day was driving her up the wall.

"What are you going to do?" Katrina asked staring wide eyed at her hair. "The event is in five hours."

"I'm going to have to straighten it or put it in a big buff." Euphoria grumbled.

"Why don't you let your hair be in a big puff? It's more you really." Katrina stated as she glanced at the maids who cleaned up around the room.

"Ok I will. May you please get me a big tooth comb, there is a sprits bottle in the bathroom that has water in it, some styling jell and there's a bottle written cocoa butter frizz free moose in there." Euphoria spoke as she began to section her hair.

"So, how did the Godfather react when he saw your hair?"

"I wouldn't know. He was gone before I woke up. He probably had a heart attack thinking someone snuck into his bed last night." She shook her head.

Katrina giggled. "That would've been something." She placed everything she asked for on the vanity infront of her. "Is there anything else you need?"

"No not really. Oh but can you check if Benedetto and Salvatore are behaving. I don't need Benedetto messing up Salvatore before tonight."

"That might be a little too late. I saw them going outside with dog toys on my way up here." Katrina stated sheepishly. "But I'll make sure that Salactore is ready by the time you guys have to leave."

"Thank you Katrina. You're such a life saver." Euphoria stated looking at her through the mirror.

"No problem."

Euphoria released a breath of satisfaction as she stared at herself in the mirror. She now stood in front of the body length mirror analysing herself. In the heat of getting herself ready for the event Parlo had come in with a message from Katrina on a piece of paper.

One of the maids had turned up the heat in your room. The camera facing the bedroom door showed one of them touching the thermostat after delivering Godfather's breakfast. They have been dealt with accordingly.

~ Katrina ~

Euphoria instantly lost her cool and kicked everyone out not wanting their help at all. After slamming the door shut she turned the thermostat down before went to take a shower to cool of her body and wash her hair thoroughly once more. By then she only has three hours left until they had to leave. When she finished taking a shower she only had and hour and forty-five minutes left to do her hair, make-up and get dressed.

"Why is it so cold in here?" Demetrius asked as he entered his room.

"Someone had messed with the thermostat." Euphoria grumbled. "My hair became all frizzy and puffed up. I almost didn't go because they set the temperature up so high."

"Who was it?" Demetrius frowned a he made his way up to her.

"Doesn't matter. Katrina took care of it." She dismissed the topic. "Don't you look mouth watering." Euphoria grinned drinking him in.

Demetrius's black suit and shirt hugged his tall muscular frame perfectly. His Micheal Kors slim runway black watch peaked from his sleeve. The only thing that added colour to his attire was his tie that matched Euphoria's dress in colour and his green eyes. His all black attire made him look all the much more dangerous and mouth watering.

"I can say the same about you." He gripped her waist as his eyes memorized every dip and curve of hers that was adorned by a backless silk baby blue dress. The valley of her breast were left open for anybody to see with the plunging neckline. The straps of her dress were thin and rested comfortably against her skin. The dress sat snugly against her skin until it began to flow out just above the knee. The small slit that ended mid-thigh was enough to let her smooth chocolate leg to poke out. Her feet graced by silver open strapped heels. Her hands and feet done into French tips. Her makeup done natural with a red bold lip. This time her hearing aid was glassy clear with the D'Agostino crest on it. Her hair done up to a puff on her head. It seemed as though she had sprinkled a bit of glitter on the puff making it shine occasionally. Since she washed her hair her baby hair went in the direction she combed it in and a few stubborn hairs stayed put. "Maybe we shouldn't leave."

"I didn't do all this to stay home." Euphoria deadpanned.

Demetrius chuckled before he disappeared into the closet a few moments later he returned with a box. He opened it up to showcase a black gun with the D'Agostino on it in a holster. "A gift from me. Kaleb told me you're quite good with your aim." He stated.

"Why would I need one?" She asked him as he got to on one knee and began to wrap the holster around her thigh.

"Because I don't trust anybody. We are surround by allies and enemies tonight along with my family. It's not only an introduction to the D'Agostino family but to the whole underworld as mine." He fastened the strap before standing to his full high. "Attached to the strap is a blade and a dagger. I want you to becareful tonight. And ensure you're not alone alright?"

Euphoria nodded in understanding. "Come let's get going before we're late." She urged but he pulled her back.

"Your chain?" Demetrius quizzed. "You never take it off."

"It doesn't go with my outfit." Euphoria frowned. "It throws it off."

Demetrius nodded before removing a family ring from his index finger. "This one is mine." He placed it on her thumb. "It has my name on the inside."

Euphoria grinned at the silver ring on her finger. She lifted her hand up to examine the ring. It matched her bracelets and earrings. "Thank you baby." She hugged him and pecked his lips lightly. "Can't kiss you until later, so only pecks."She stated as she wiped of his lips.

Demetrius grumbled disappointedly only for her to brush off his disappointment and tug him along.

When they had arrived at the D'Agostino Manor Euphoria couldn't help but let he nerves take over. Salvatore had been picked up by Emilio and Penelope earlier on in the day so he would not have to enter while the paparazzi was there. Demetrius didn't like having Salvatore all over the tabloids purposely at a young age. So, during events that he had to or could attend Salvatore was always made to go earlier or through the back door with his grandparents.

"Relax mio amore." Demetrius placed a sweet kiss to her temple. "You'll do grate."

"Easy for you to say. I'm not used these things like you." She muttered as she watched the driver of the car infront of them move his car.

"Just take a breath." He instructed which Euphoria happily obliged to. "And release slowly." He watched her do so.

Euphoria smiled at him gratefully as her nerves had calmed down a bit. Demetrius returned her smiled with a kiss to her hand. "Are you ready?"

"As ready as I'll every be."
