Emilia woke up startled by the fact she had a tight grip on someone's arm, she causiously turned and saw Damon laid on his back asleep, she must have grabbed his arm at some point as he was laid normal apart from his outstretched arm which she previously had hold of.

She looked at the time 6am. They had slept all through the night.

"Go back to sleep Emilia" Damon had a much deeper voice than usually probably because he was still half asleep. He didn't bother to open his eyes or even move at all. It made Emilia jump slightly as she thought he was asleep.

"Don't you need to go get ready for work" she asked.

"No. Now go to sleep" he anwsered. One thing about Damon was that he hated being woken up. His tone screamed 'don't question me'.

"I'm not tired" she replied ignoring his tone.

"Fine 10 more minutes" he muttered and turned on his side so he was facing away from her.

Emilia couldn't help supress a laugh. Damon was so moody because he was woken up and because of this Emilia found his actions amusing.

She laid back down.

10 minutes past and suprisingly as soon as it hit 10 minutes Damon spoke "what would you like to do today"

"What do you mean aren't I grounded"

"You are grounded but we can put that off until tommorow"

"But what about work, you need to go, you can't just miss it because of me"

Damon sat up and looked at her this time "I wasn't in my office most of yesterday was I" he says.

"No you had meetings "

"Yes exactly, I moved today's meeting to yesterday and later on tonight"

"But why? I didn't even tell you about how I was until last night"

"That true but I am aware my office probably bores you so I moved some meetings around, you asked yesterday to stay home and I know you're old enough but I don't want you alone all day so as a compromise yesterday I figured you could stay home today if I was in the house however after realising how you felt I think it's best we do something together, to repair what I broke "

"What are we going to do"

"Anything you want. Have a think about it and let me know after breakfast. I'm going to go to my room now. Will you be okay"

"Yeah I'll be okay. Please don't tell them all though, I know you have to tell dad but please not everyone else"

"Of course not darling"

Damon left after that. He had no intention of falling asleep in her room but he somehow did. He had laid next to her like she wanted and at some point she had grabbed his arm, he didn't have the heart to wake her up to tell her to let go and he certainly didn't want to wake her by moving his arm so he had allowed himself to fall asleep.

He went back to his room, it was now half 6, they usually ate around 7.30ish so he decided to get ready for the day.

When it came to deciding what to wear he decided since he wasn't going to work or an event, he ditched the usual one of many suits and chose a shirt and dress pants. He rarely wore super casual clothes even though he had every type of clothing possible. Everything about him litterally screamed 'I'm better than you' or 'if you dare cross or disobey me, I'll make you pay with your life'.

And he liked it that way. He was sinical that way.

At breakfast

Emilia sat next to mason and dad again much to Damon's annoyance but he didn't say anything about it.

Everyone could see Damon was in a better mood this morning, he still had the 'dont you dare fuck with me' vibe going on but he was alot more calmer.

"What is everyone doing this evening" Alesandro asked the table.

"I'll probably need to work but I'll do it from home" Damon replied.

The others all said they weren't doing anything.

"Oh no reason I just thought I'd invite Adrian and the boys over" Alesandro spoke.

"Why" Damon asked.

"Because they will be going back to Spain soon"

"

Alesandro sighed, he didn't want that woman ever brought up again.

"I guess we are having another family meal" Damon muttered.

"Can we have it inside this time" Emilia asked.

"Awe you're adorable even when you're not trying. Of course we are having it inside Lia" Mason replied.

"What time are you thinking father" Damon asked glaring slightly at mason, his jaw clenched slightly, he was not impressed.

"Around 6?"

"I suppose it can work" Damon said, he would just have to work later into the night but it wasn't a big deal. He wasn't going to leave Emilia alone at a family meal. Not after last time, even though the problem had now been removed.

Breakfast soon passed and Matteo and Dante left for school.

"Will you be ok Lia" Mason asked.

Emilia nodded "yeah"

"Of course she will" Damon said.

"Ok well I need to go to work but call me or message me if you need me Lia" he still didn't know they had made up.

He left too , leaving just Alesandro, Damon and Emilia.

Emilia glanced at Damon thinking he had obviously told him and they were going to have an intervention. Fortunately for her Damon hadn't had chance. He would most likely do it tommorow instead of tonight now they were having guests.

"Have you both spoken" Alesandro asked, he figured that was why Damon was in a better mood.

"Yeah " Emilia replied before Damon could reveal anything.

"Good, since you're not working today Damon do you mind heading to the shops I just need a few bits for tonight"

"Yeah sure. What do you need"

"I'll write you a list"

It had been about half an hour since everyone had now left. Emilia was just sat watching TV when Damon came in.

"Anything you want to do today?" He asked.

"Can't you decide"

"Well I don't know myself"

"Why not"

"Because I don't know what you would like to do I'm not a 16 year old girl, besides we don't exactly share many interests either" he said dramatically

Emilia couldn't help but laugh at his comment. Because she knew he didn't hate her and they were on better terms, especially since he was no longer angry, she didn't miss the chance to insult him.

"Well if it helps, Hailey, Lucy and Sophia are always stalking people online, I swear you give them a first name and they come back with a full life story of the person"

Damon didn't appreciate what she was implying "he muttered switching to Italian. "You're a brat, you know that right" he switched back to English so he could insult her

"I'm joking but in all seriousness what are your interests besides being grumpy and angry, and when you're not working. What do you do in spare time. I feel like even though we know each other I don't know much about you"

"In my spare time I'm usually with you" Damon said avoiding the question. He rather her not know much about him.

"Ok before I came here then"

"Emilia this is not an appropriate question " he warned.

"Why not "

Damon didn't really have much free time with his legal businesses taking up his time during the day and the mafia taking up most of his night, when he did get free time he went out.

"Let's just say parties" he said making it child friendly for her.

The truth was, the parties weren't parties, instead they were clubs majority his own clubs but every now and then he would visit one that didn't belong to him. Their was always lots of women, lots of drinking and lots of gambling, majority of the time he woke up in a hotel with a woman next to him, he refused to spend the night at some random womans house. He didn't do commitment, a relationship was out of the question, he rather mess around and see her never talk to them again

And then their was illegal street racing, he always won. He didn't mind watching underground fighting either, of course he never took part because it was beneath him. He would win any fighter he was put against in seconds if that was the case.

He definitely couldn't tell Emilia what he found himself doing in his free time.

Emilia knew he was making it child friendly, she grew up around drugs, around Henry, he drank and went to 'parties'.

She didn't want to pry further but didn't like the connection she made to henry.

"So drugs and alcohol" she questioned.

"Drugs, no. Alcohol, yes."

Damon knew exactly why she was asking so he chose to anwser it honestly, he had never done drugs but that's not to say the Mafia didn't supply it to people.

"Okay"

"Now tell me what you do" he asked changing the topic from him.

"I don't know, in case you haven't noticed I've only been here a month and you guys know everything I've done"

Damons smile fell when he realized what she was saying. He hoped she would have done teenage stuff despite the abuse.

"Well I suppose we could go to the arcade in the shopping centre then get dad's shopping"

Emilia smiled, she had wanted to go to the arcade ever since Matteo and Dante went with Lexi on their first full day here. Mason has taken her for clothes but the arcade looked more fun.

"Okay yes" she said excitedly.

"Great, go out your shoes on or something"

"Can I change, I mean I just dont feel comfortable going out looking like this" after Damon left she had gotten ready for the day and after showering she had changed into a oversized t-shirt and joggers.

"Sure whatever you want"

"You know an arcade is a really casual place" she said.

He laughed "I'm quite comfortable as I am"

"Fineeee I'm going to get ready" she said deciding not to push him to much.

She was just excited to go do normal teenage stuff.
