They thought that there was no way he could handle the load that he suddenly undertaken. They said he was mistaken in wanting to go down this route. They said that he would come to regret it. Every ounce of his inner-circle’s weight was devoted to trying to get him to see the error of his ways. They tried to get him to remember what he was before everything changed. They tried to get him to remember everything that he was giving up if he was going to stick around. And though there were moments of doubt, at the end of the day, Alexandros knew exactly what he really was getting himself into. Despite the outcry from some of his closest friends; friends that were more than members of the Mafia Elite’s children. They were, as some might note, his best of friends. Yet, none of them could talk Alexandros Mossos out of dating the woman that gave him such a workaround for the longest time.. The night that the legendary playboy of Beverly Hills High had found himself into a committed relationship was, as both Alexandros and Audrey found out, the night that they were under some sudden attention from their peers. It was unheard of. To think that they, of all people, had found themselves together in more than just a sex-based engagement. It couldn’t be further from that. Soon, they became the power couple that everyone feared they would be, ruling the halls with each other. As Alexandros had entered the final moments before he left his house for Audrey’s villa, he was coming down the stairs in his suit. It was the one suit he had been saving for quite the special occasion. Tonight was just an occasion. Handpicked by Greece’s best tailor himself, Baltazar promised it was the best that money had to offer for someone of Alexandros’ build. He stood before his family -well, his parents. Eli was off somewhere. He had been gone for hours. Ava had already left for the ball. Against the better judgement from her entire family, she was with Jackson Drake. Alexandros didn’t let that ruin what was quite possibly the biggest night for both he and Audrey. He wasn’t about to sulk on his sister’s poor choice in individuals. Besides, he had to admit that he looked rather dashing. In a rarity, his hair was combed back and he was wearing minimal of his expensive, Italian cologne. He was told that it had a strong scent and strong scents were bad for the baby, which after some trial and error, Alexandros became more courteous to Audrey’s needs. Imagine that, right? He was actually considerate of someone’s feelings that weren’t his own. The prospect of being in love has changed him. [color=9966cc]“You look so handsome, sweetheart,”[/color] Adrianna spoke with pride in her voice. [color=dodgerblue]“I know.”[/color] Well, Alexandros hasn’t [i]completely[/i] changed. [color=6495ed]“Stavros sure chose quite the suit. I may have to commission him for one myself.” [/color]Baltazar mused, smiling at his son, [color=1e90ff]“so, are you ready?”[/color] [color=1e90ff]“I was born ready.”[/color] [color=6495ed]“Tonight’s the night, isn’t it?”[/color] Alexandros nodded. [color=1e90ff]“Here’s to hoping it goes all according to plan.”[/color] Though it was rare, Alexandros had copious amounts of anxiety surging through his expensive veins. [color=9966cc]“Remember to get her home at a decent hour.”[/color] [color=1e90ff]“Always.”[/color] After a few more minutes of pictures, Alexandros had left his family home, heading to the garage. In a rare change of moods for him, he was afforded permission to take his father’s Lamborghini tonight. It was the same car that he had taken to Audrey’s pool party during that fateful day that he caught her with that ISIS-wannabe, Omar. As soon as he hit the accelerator pedal, the Italian engine purred throughout the Sunshine Hills neighborhood until he got on the freeway. Within ten minutes, he made it to Audrey’s house. His street racing skills had proven to be quite useful as he was in front of her house after an additional five minutes of traversing through the many houses. When he stepped out, Alexandros approached the house. Though, before he would knock, he remembered the plan tonight. If anything, Alexandros would have to do it without fail. Nothing must go awry. Uncharacteristically, he took in a deep breath. The next action was his closed fist knocking three times. The wait after the fact was the longest minute he had experienced, but worth it when he saw her the door. Not like the last time he was on the opposite end of this door, there wasn’t any awkwardness or feelings of grimace. This was if there was a word for it, awe. The way the dress cascaded around her natural curves was one thing, Audrey had this natural glow even after she had kissed and embraced him. [color=deeppink]“You look amazing, love. I’m so lucky to call you mine.”[/color] She said, whispering in his ear. A smile was his response, giving her one last look before he walked inside. The first sight was her parents, Arthur and Elizabetha. He shook Arthur’s hand and gave her mother a respectable hug. After some small talk, they would pose for pictures. He told himself this would only last a few moments, but as it would turn out, they kept them for over ten. [color=1e90ff]“As much as I’d love to take more photos with your gorgeous daughter, we should get going. But how about this! When we return, you can take all of the photos you want.”[/color] As the king of smooth-talking, Alexandros won them over with this proposal, though they would keep them an additional three minutes with the waterworks. After the fact, Alexandros and Audrey were free. With haste, Alexandros led Audrey to the Lamborghini. They stopped, however, as Alexandros looked at her. [color=1e90ff]“This is the same one I drove to that pool party of yours. Do you remember? It was when we were tested. Now, on this night, we will be given the biggest test yet: the test of winning King and Queen. Come on, let us show that we are the top couple of Beverly Hills High.”[/color] After he gave her a kiss, they were off. The sound of the Italian machine reverberated throughout the neighborhood. Their destination was the Governor's Ballroom where the Valentine’s Ball was being held this year. [/indent][/indent][/color]
