My Precious Euphoria

"This is Jason's moms house?" Emilio stares up at the large house.

"Yep, she's only dated rich guys, well except for Jason's dad. He was a police officer." I say staring at the very large house.

"Mm." He says.

I laugh and grab his hand, "Lets go, I'm starving." I guide him to the porch where my parents were already knocking. The double doors open and my step grandmother Melanie opens the door of course looking younger than her 58 years of age.

"Well hello!" She says excitedly, she also had on red, decorating her self in a red channel sweater and black pants and black boots.

"Hi Melanie." My mom says giving her a side hug.

"Hello." She greets my littler sister and then she looks to see me and Emilio.

"Uh, hi, who do we have here." She says looking between me and him.

"Meme this is my boyfriend, Emilio." I say, he automatically comes and stick his hand out greeting her "Hi Mrs..." he trails off. "Oh no need for the Mrs. just call my Melanie please." She says shaking his hand.

"Nice to meet you Melanie." He says.

I could tell by the look in my step grandmothers eyes that she was pleased at my guest.

"Well come inside there's no need to stay outside we're not having a barbecue." She says welcoming us in.

Her house was big but she had nothing on Emilio's house. We walk in to the warm house where the smell of jambalaya fills my nose. This was our tradition of food every year. To be rich she sure did know how to cook.

"Why, hello Stan." Jason says to her husband Stan who was drinking a glass of wine.

Stan was very elegant man he was the third son of a wealthy food company and by the time his dad died him and his two brothers had enough money to live happily for the rest of their life's.

"Hi Jason, how's everyone doing, and Alexis your getting so big!" He says picking up a needy Alexis.

"And who else do we have here." He says seeing me and Emilio.

"Hi Stan, this is my boyfriend Emilio, Emilio this is Stan." They shake hands and greet.

"I hope you like jambalaya, it's what we always have when we have Christmas Eve together." Stan says.

"Sounds and smells amazing." Emilio smiles. I couldn't help the big smile that also grew on my face as I watched him interact.

"We also have some cake to for after dinner. Food will be done in a few minutes." My Mimi says and we nod another knock on the door makes me sigh. It was Azaria.

"I'll be right back." I say to Emilio who I sent to sit on the couch next the the fireplace.

I open the door and my thoughts were right it was Azaria. "Oh hi Kia." She says.

"Hi." I open the door letting her in. I make my way back to the couch where Emilio was watching the Christmas music videos that were playing on the t.v.

"Hi baby." I say wrapping my arms around his.

"Hi." He says.

"I'm glad you came." I say smiling.

"I am to. We never do things like this, well we used to...." he says looking away.

I feel for him, we used to be really broke when I lived in Texas my Christmas's were always sad and never fun.
