A/N: Natalya's so pretty 😍 I'm obsessed with her character, do you like her too? ❤️
"I love these heels you're wearing, Natalya," Maria sighed, glancing over at the stilettos on Natalya's feet. "Right?" Natalya hummed in response, plucking some loose hairs from her eyebrows in front of the mirror. "Seriously, you make us believe you got a sugar daddy or something," Sofia said from the other side of the dressing room and it caused Natalya to chuckle and she repositioned her feet in the new Louboutins under the desk. "You all know I dance better and earn more than the two of you," Natalya replied and it made the others snort and the Russian looked over her shoulder with a teasing look. There was no way she was going to tell them about the deal she had with Mr. Sainz. And she was sure he didn't want anyone else to know about it either. "Are you going out tonight, after your shift?" Sofia asked, letting herself fall back on the sofa that stood against the wall. "Maybe," Maria shrugged. "Not really feeling like it," Natalya replied as well, brushing some gel over her brows next after she filled them up gently, shaping them in the way she usual did.
"Oh, is he coming?" Maria asked with a grin, making Natalya look over her shoulder again. "Who?" She asked, playing it dumb to not be too obvious. "That British mobster. I've heard he's grown fond of you," Maria purred and Natalya suppressed a smile. "I don't know, he asked for a private dance the previous time he was here. Must have seen something he liked," Natalya replied, brushing it off as if it wasn't anything special, however she gnawed on her bottom lip and focused on her make-up again, eager to see Lando again tonight nevertheless. "You're such a lucky bitch, do you know that?" Sofia scoffed and the girls giggled. "I've tried to get Leclerc's attention for ages already," she rolled her eyes. "Maybe he's just not into cheap whores," Maria said, an apologizing look on her face and Natalya turned around once more, amused nevertheless. "You did not just say that," Natalya commented while Sofia smacked a pillow into Maria's face. A knock on the door silenced them and Maria cleared her throat when Mr. Sainz came in.
"Girls, I need a word with Natalya alone," Carlos commented, looking between the three and they glanced over at Natalya, their eyebrows raising while Sofia muttered a soft 'oh-oh' under her breath. Natalya remained quiet and seated in her chair while the other two made their way out of the room. "He's already here," Carlos spoke and leaned back against the wall. "I just wanted to remind you to get to know what he's been in Moscow for." Natalya nodded. "Good," Carlos replied. "He brought two of his European partners tonight, don't make them suspicious either," Carlos finished. Natalya nodded once more, not really having anything to say about it. She was glad she was alone next, able to finish her make-up and adjust the glittery dress she was wearing for tonight. There was another knock on the door and her head turned to see Lando coming in. Her heart made a small jump, which she ignored. The door closed behind him and a soft grin tugged on his lips. "Hey, gorgeous," Lando spoke up. "I didn't think you'd be this early," Natalya lied, approaching him.
"Just wanted to see you before you'd go onto the stage," Lando muttered, his hand dropped to her petite waist, the other moving her hair over her shoulder and his fingertips ran over the exposed skin of her neck, her throat and up to curl around her jaw. He looked into the eyes filled with mischief that he had to miss for nearly a week, the pictures she had send him over the phone clearly on his mind while he eyed the wide v-neck of the dress she was wearing. "Kiss me, darling," He hummed and she could feel his hot breath on her face, but she pulled back before their lips could touch. "My lipstick is too expensive to be ruined before my show," Natalya said and he chuckled lowly, kissing her cheek instead. Lando moved his mouth to her exposed neck, pressing his lips to her skin and letting his mouth linger there for a teasing moment. "I can't wait to see you dance again," he spoke. Natalya batted her lashes at him, a smile curling her lips. "You're wearing my necklace as well," he mentioned, seeing the diamond snake necklace that he gifted her the weekend in London.
