Euphoria hummed to herself as she swung her legs back and worth while she worked on her assignment. She was back in the penthouse. It had been two weeks since the incident and Demetrius asking her to be his woman. It didn't end all the way he had hoped. Euphoria kept the necklace and asked him to give her some time to think it through.

"Time?" Demetrius asked incredulously.

"Well yeah." Euphoria huffed. "This is a huge step Demetrius and don't forget you're Italian. At some point didn't you say you're quiet possessive? Plus I know once I'm in, its going to be hard to get out when I want to get out."

"So what you're saying you don't want me? You don't see a future with me like I do with you?" He stated grimly before standing to his feet.

"Demetrius wait that's not what I mean." She chased after him despite the pain shooting up her foot. "Demetrius." She pulled at his arm making him stop. She stood infront of him. "I want to make sure that we'll have a future that's what I want to do, I just need a little time please." She held his face in her hands making him look down at her. "Please?"

"Fine." He stated after a moment of silence. "Someone will take you home once you're done with breakfast." He removed her hands from his face. "I have work to do. Dr. Rizzo will check on your wounds and will let you know when and how much you should take of your medication." He began to leave.

"Demetrius." She called out to him.

"You have my cell. Call me when you've made up your mind Euphoria." He closed the door with a thundering thud.

That has been the first time he's called her by her name. Euphoria didn't like it one bit. She wanted to slap him but she knew he had every right to be mad at her. He was looking for someone he could spend the rest of his life with. Euphoria wasn't even looking and he found her. She wanted him to understand that all she wanted to do was to think about everything before she made such a huge step. His ašs even mentioned marriage. I didn't think of that at all until he said it.

Euphoria sighed as she closed her note book and shut off her computer. Standing to her feet she left her office and went down to the kitchen. She had healed nicely during the passed two weeks. Euphoria was greatful for it too because she'd be starting finals all too soon.

She passed by Alloponio who sat at in the living room. Euphoria had been stuck with him since she left the Manor as he calls it. Demetrius had assigned him to her. At least he still cares. She thought to herself but deep down she felt as if though he was doing it for her sake not that he cared. Why would he care he's got so much going on most probably.

"How is he?" She asked Alloponio who for sure followed her to the kitchen.

"I don't know, you ask him." Was his reply like every other day.

"How is he?" Euphoria would ask again.

"He's a fučking ašs like I keep telling you." He shrugged. "Call him and put him out of his misery. That way he can either know you want him or he can move on to someone else who wants him." He stated bluntly as he stood from the bar stool. "With that being said stop being a selfish little bitčh and get on with it."

Euphoria tensed. "What did you just call me?"

"You heard what I said. If you don't want him then you're wasting precious time, resources and money he's investing in you."

"Get out." She gritted out.

Alloponio scoffed."I'm your babysitter or did you forget little girl?"

"You can be my "babysitter" from the hallway, I don't have to let you in or did you forget?" She snapped. "Get the fučk out!" She threw the nearest thing which so happened to be the glass in her hand. "Get out! Get out! Get out!"

Alloponio merely laughed as he left her penthouse no doubt loitering in the hall way. Euphoria was infuriated. She knew she was taking too much time but they needed to understand. The backlash they'll receive especially her since she's black and for the mere fact that she doesn't know how to love, not for a long time.

Taking deep breaths she decided to clean up the glass before making her way to her room. Euphoria roughly snatched her phone out of the charger and plopped on the bed. Her finger havoured above his name. She bit her lip nervously before looking around her room.

Euphoria had decided to hire an interior designer to help her with redecorating the place. She went above and beyond to help her donate or sell items. After everything had changed to her liking she officially moved in.

Euphoria sighed before taping on his name. She waited for a few minutes before he actually answered Euphoria held her breath.

"Hello?"

Euphoria chocked on air as a woman's voice sounded through the phone. Had he moved on already.

"Hi is Demetrius there?"

"What the fučk are you doing on my phone Simone?" She heard Demetrius growl out from the background.

"There's some girl on the phone for you babe."

"Don't you ever fučking touch my phone..... Hello Demetrius speaking."

"Uhmm..." Euphoria didn't know what to say after that.

"Yes who is it?"

"Nevermind I called." Euphoria said quickly before hanging up.

Had he deleted my number and moved on already? She thought as she got up from her bed.

Euphoria quickly opened the front door to see Alloponio on the phone. "Here" she ripped off the chain that Demetrius had given here. "It seems he made up his mind and isn't so miserable anymore." She shoved it into his hands. "Tell him to give it to Simone." She said before turning back to her apartment.

"Miss Kreek." Alloponio called out to her.

"He can stop wasting all his precious resources, time and money on me now. I wish him all the fučking best." She said before slamming the door shut and being sure to lock it.

Euphoria couldn't help the overflowing amount of tears that cascades down her face. She hated that she waited so long to tell him but it was too late. Someone had already gotten to him and she had no one but herself to blame.
