I had a bandanna around my head, covering my eyes as Levi led me into his apartment. "So tell me why my eyes are covered again?", I questioned.

"Just wait here.", he said and I heard his footsteps jog towards near his room.

I crossed my arms and sighed heavily, waiting. I wonder what he has to do to blind fold me. After the meeting at the school and deciding to hold up booths at the festival next Friday, he said we he wanted to come back here and when we got to his apartment door, he took the bandanna he always carries in his back pocket and put it around my eyes.

A moment later I heard his footsteps come back, "Hold your hands out.", he said and I did what he said. I felt something placed in my hands, "Okay, open them.".

I opened my eyes and looked down to see the new Canon camera I wanted and my mouth dropped. I forgot he told me he got this for me and was holding it until my birthday. I've been so busy beating myself up about how I treated Levi that I forgot the thing I most wanted.

I smiled down at the camera before wrapping my arms around Levi's neck, hugging him, "Thank you so much, Levi. It's amazing.".

His arms went around my waist, lifting me up from the ground, "Now your going to be playing with that thing for a few weeks, ignoring me like the last time.".

He put my back down on my feet and I pulled my head away from his chest, "Well of course, but I'll find time to make for my boyfr...", suddenly I blushed at the words. I never used that words before to described him and I never actually had a boyfriend before either the boys thought I was a freak and then there was Levi coming into the picture. I've been on dates, but they would get ruin since Levi would find me.

He grinned, leaning down closer to me as I blushed harder, "Come on, say it.".

"Boyfriend.", I said, rolling my eyes and I hit his chest. "Not don't get such a big head cause I finally called you that now and another thing, don't think I'm going to be calling you 'babe' or shit like that—", he cut me off by placing his lips on mine and I quickly forgot what I was saying.

He pulled back a moment later, "I'll think about it.", he said and I opened my mouth to protest about couple nicknames but he blocked my lips before I could talk.

He stepped forward and I began to walk backwards towards the couch and not realizing how far I got, the back of my legs hit the couch and I fell down onto the couch, bring Levi onto of me.

We chuckled and I reached out to put the camera down on the couch table, but since I wasn't paying much attention to the new expensive and new love camera, I couldn't find the table.

Levi chuckled, reached out and took the camera out of my hands, placing it on the table without even looking.

I couldn't help but smile into the making out and before I knew it, my hands began to pull his white t-shirt up.

Levi groaned and to my surprise, he leaned up away from me and gave me a uncomfortable look.

"What?", I questioned.

"I don't feel right about this—",

My mouth dropped, "Your joking, right? You have been waiting for this day for how long and now you don't?", I questioned. I prepared myself to embarrass myself, "Okay, so I know you have been with other girls before you met me and they probably are going to be much better than me but—",

He started chuckling, cutting me off and I glared at him as my cheeks burnt up. He shook his head, "No, Andria, you need to start letting me finish. I really want it to happen since—god, how long? About four years? But one, I didn't by any condoms since I was so pissed at you. Second, I seriously thought you wouldn't talk to me for a long time. And third, I don't want to take anything away from you if I know her parents hate me still. I don't know why I care so much, but it's something inside me that feel weird about having my Bounder parents despises me just because I'm older and not Greek.".

My mood dropped, "You did practically throw my dad across the room last week.", I mentioned to be a smartass.

He gave me a shut up look, "I wasn't thinking, all I saw was red. Which is why I want to go over and apologize. Man to man. I can't really live with my Bounder parents hating me and that's my human side talking.".

"You know you step five feet in my house my dad well grab his shotgun, right? He does the old fashion way and wont let some guy take his little girl.", I said.

"Which is why I want you to go in first and me behind you. You'll protect me.", he said and I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought. Levi, a big huge wolf scared of my own father, who is a few inches shorter then Levi. "So can we?"

"Your so lucky my Yiayia is making dinner tonight. You got there lucky.", I said. "But if we want to get there before she start blowing up your phone, we better go.".

"My phone?", he questioned. "Where's you?".

I bit my the right side of my lower lip, "I kind of...left it on the bus two days ago when I was coming back from the woods from coming to see you.".

"Alexandria!", he growled out and I awkwardly looked away. He only said my whole name when he was angry like how he is now. "That phone cost me four hundred and fifty dollars and you forget it on a bus!".

"I'm sorry, but it's more or less your fault!", I defended myself. "I was so upset about us and forgot I placed it down next to me! But I turned it off before anyone could make your bill higher. Cost me a good sixty dollars but I still did it.".

He ran his hands down his face and groaned, "What am I going to do with you?", he asked himself.

After cooling Levi down about not having to worry about me getting a new phone since I still have my old phone—well, somewhere in that room of mine and making our way to our house, he nudged me closer to my door when I didn't open it and go in.

Actually, I was kind of nervous to. Levi hasn't been in my house since last week and I'm sure my dad wont be happy to see Levi walking in and me announcing we're together. I can already see his tan face turning red with anger.

I turned my head around, glared, and hissed him to stop that in a whisper. I turned my head back around and took a deep breath before putting my hand on the door knob and turned it, opened the door, and the air was quickly turning to awkward feeling with some thickness of I don't even know what cause when I stepped in, I heard my heart pounding in my ears as we walked in and my mom and dad turned their heads and saw us—but my dad looked behind me with a look that could kill.

I have only ever put up this act a few times ever in my life. The daddy girls act. I smiled brightly at him and brought one of my hands up in a girly type of way of waving or however Jesse does it.As my dad got up from the couch and walked towards us, I spoke, "Hi daddy! Wow! Don't you look handsome today! I haven't noticed how much weight you loss! You look really good—".

"Nice try,Alexandria.", my father said and I blew out my nose heavily at my failed attempt. Seems like it wont be working now that I'm eighteen. He gave Levi a heavy glaring look, never speaking.

I could feel Levi shift uncomfortably behind me and he cleared his throat. "Mr Dranias, I would like to—"

"Hush boys," my father said.

"Yes, sir.", Levi said and I couldn't help but turn around and give him a 'what the hell' kind of look. Is Levi really that afraid of my father? The 'big bad wolf' Levi likes to call himself is obeying my father like a scared pup?

"Helene told us we should be excepting you to come around today.", he said.

"So I did.", my Yiayia said as she came from the dinning room with her happy smile and I felt like I could breath again with my Yiayia here. "Foolish of you to think of me wrong, Aaron. Don't you know I'm always right?".

"Just thought the boy has more common sense.", my dad said. "But of course he wouldn't get it by now that his old American brain—",

"Oh Aaron, stop it.", my Yiayia said in annoyance, making me want to giggle cause when she get annoyed by my dad, it's so funny how she gets him back. "I do seem to remember my husband very much didn't like a man who didn't practice our Romani way to take his daughter.".

"That is very different.", my father said, looking annoyed at remember the tale of my father and mother love story.

"Tell me how.", she questioned. "Daphne, do you think it's 'different'?'.

My mom joined next to my dad and wrapped an arm around my dad, "No mother, I don't think it's very different.".

My dad mouth dropped and he gaped at her, "Honey," he said, nervously chuckling down at her, "Of course it is, we're both Greek. And even, you never like practicing Romani traditions.".

"True, my dear but I don't see the difference now that Andria is eighteen.".

"So now your agreeing with her being with him!", my dad all did but hiss. "He is to old for her!".

"Got to let a butterfly spread her wing, dear.", she said as she shrugged. "Look, my mother talked with my today and I have learned something about Levi.", she said, looking at Levi as if she knew. I winced, looking at my Yiayia. She didn't, did she?

She smiled and nodded at me. My eyes widen in shock. She told my mom want Levi is and who is family is!

"What are you talking about?", my dad asked, confused. "I know for a fact he's twenty-two and a player around—",

"Actually sir, I'm not.", Levi spoke, his voice sounding more confidence, but he stayed behind me. "I have not even looked at another girl twice since I have met Andria. You heard about the rumors of how I use to behave but then I met Andria." he said and I felt his back press against mine and an arm slipped around my waist. "And I have gotten nothing over these last four year and man to man, you should know how hard that is.".

He scoffed, "Why should I believe you? Why would a guy not want to be with another girl when the first girl is way to young and would have nothing with her for a long time? I was once teenager myself, boy. I know how much hormones can do to a boy.".

"Because I'm in love with Andria.", Levi said without hesitation. "Sir look, I'll do anything to have your approval. I'll learn Greek and the Greek history—even though I really hate learning—and I'll eat every Greek food there is and I'll even dye my hair black is that's what you want!".

"Aww.", my mother and Yiayia couldn't help but say. I felt my cheeks heat a little as I smile and leant around on my side and laid my cheeks against his chest, my arms around his waist.

"Please don't make him dye his hair, dad. I love those blonde locks.", I said.

My dad lips were pressed tightly together as he winced and glared at Levi. "I want to talk to your in privet than.".

"Anything you wish, sir.", Levi said. My dad turned around to go upstairs to his office and Levi kissed the top of my head before fallowing him upstairs.

While they were upstairs, my Yiayia pulled me into the kitchen to help finish dinner, but I couldn't cook while my dad and Levi were upstairs—god know what they could be talking about. I bit my nails impatiently which I knew Jesse would get me later since she just did them this morning as I wonder and wanted so badly for them to come back downstairs to know how it went. I'm a nosy person, I want to know everything.

It was forty minutes when I finally heard my dad office door opened when I was sitting the table. I quickly finished up and went back in the living room when I saw them coming down the steps.

When they got to the bottom stepped, my dad rubbed his stomach, "Food ready?", he questioned as he went into the dinning room. He sounded casual. To casual for my liking cause I need to know everything now!

I went up to Levi, "So?",

"I think I have never seem your dad like me so much until now.", he said and I winced at him in confusion. He quickly added, "It went well—at least, I think. I apologized and he accept it. He said I'll have to make my way up to his approval, but in his words 'I don't mind you dating my daughter', so I'll take that.". he said. "So where's Angelo?", he questioned.

"Out on a date, he'll be here later though.", I said. "Why?".

"Really like to thank him for letting me know you keep a picture of me practically naked under your pillow.", he whispered, grinning ear to ear as my face and neck turned to deep red as it heated up also and my eyes big a ferret. He turned half way, "But I think I should go check if that's true or not—",

"Ha-ha," I humorlessly chuckled, grabbing his arm and pulled him back. "I have no idea what's he's talking about, pssh.", I said, rolling my eyes and waving it off. "Yiayia made your favorite chicken cuisine.", I said as I pulled him towards the dinning room as I thought about how to get back at Angelo.
