Oh I didn't know it would be this big. Looking out the window from the uber I that stop at the gate with a few guards standing in front of it. I got out the car thanking the driver and getting on my ph...
“Mhm yeah so was that before or after your rich party with the hippy group?” I asked being sarcastic, Halston and I we’re sitting outside at this cute little open cafe. Oddly my small interest to know Hlaston a little better actually became a conversation, but what I’m still not comprehending was our conversation in the car earlier, which was just me commenting saying I needed to go get my wallet and his reply was it’s a date so I don’t need to.
I’m a little irritated because I am feeling nervous for some reason.
“Both” Halston pointed and wink at me, making me smile a little more.
“If we knew each other back in high school we wouldn’t be able to graduate.” I joked and we shared a laugh
“What about you, how were you raised?” He asked and I blink.
“Why would you ask that?” I asked and He looked confused.
“To get to know you …..properly.” He said and I nod my head looking around the area a bit.
“Yeah and how’s that going?” I asked giving a dry laugh taking a sip of my lemonade
“Mhm yeah, Lyanna do you know what the fuck a date is?” Halston asked and I laughed but seeing how serious he was the smile slowly wiped from my face.
“I have never experienced it.” I admit feeling a bit of my pride break off and I’m assuming this is funny to him because his eyes lit up and he looked amused.
“Why?” He asked and I reached over taking one of his fries munching on it.
“What are you a cop?” I asked and he put his hands up leaning back in his seat.
“Just interested.” He responded and I bit my lip looking around seeing cars pass and people walking. I clear my throat trying to find a distraction but can’t.
“I um, never been on one just use to you know linking up for the day, fuck and then going home right after so yeah never experieance a fucking date.” I waved it off and he nodded his head, putting his hands in his pocket.
“Must have been through a lot of situationship.” He commented and I smiled nodding my head.
“There was a lot of ghosting too.” I gave him extra information trusting a little. “I mean still don’t understand that so that’s always haunting.” I picked up my burger taking a bite and Halston started to eat his fries.
“Isss that why you act bitchy?” He questioned me and I shrugged.
“Mm yeah not gonna lie there I purposely build a wall from my previous encounters with men but what makes you a diccccccck.” I dragged him out and he put his thumb to his chin.
“Probably lack of parenting or using drugs as an outlet probably both.” He admitted before we caught each other's eyes and shared a smile.
“Who knew being broken is fun.” I joked and he let out a laugh.
“You said you've been in situationships before, did you .. you know, fell hard for one of em?” Halston asked but he struggled to get it out which made me laugh because I can tell he’s trying. I stare at Halston in silence for a while before smiling.
“Yeah.”
“I never felt that, can you tell me about it?” He asked and I stare at him feeling my nerves die down, it’s weird he’s taking interest. I never thought Halston would be able to even attempt to change.
“Of course I-
“Pretty lady.” A way to familiar voice spoke calmly and my heart became heavy, I stare at Halston who happy expression change into a dead one with no emotion as she stared back at me. I kept the smile on my face feeling tense and nervous once again but this time due to stress. I look to my right seeing their hand on my shoulder and I looked up seeing Emilio
“Ohhh hiii.” I said, feeling my heart beating fast.
“I called you letting you know I landed.” Emilio wore a smile before noticing Halston who just was staring at him not saying a word.
“So that’s why your phone was buzzing constantly.” Halston said, pulling my phone out his pocket and I bit my lip remembering that I gave it to him before we sat at our table. Idk I just trusted him with my phone and I had to use the bathroom.
“Ah huh I hope you don’t mind if I join you.” Emilo casually said and I was about to go against it but he already pulled a chair up next to mine.
“Well Lyanna this must be a situationship now is it.” Halston looked at me but his tone went from friendly as if we were strangers.

“Of course when I heard you were in Russia I just had to stop by and say hello.” Nadia kiss my cheek as I was cutting up some peppers since I’m making a little lunch, Ruslan plan on staying for a while which I don’t mind. He invited his friend Otabek and his wife Nadia to come over which I thought was nice because i've been meeting to get in touch with Nadia again after landing here.
“Nice seeing you again.” I smiled at her, Nadia hair was curled and she wore a nice tan suit with a royal blue scarf and white pumps, I love how she dresses honestly.
“Sooo tell me all about it.” Nadia lean on the counter taking one of the cut up peppers casually eating it.
“Okay so he’s practically just been on this baby mine track these pass few months but this month is getting more extra. To the point I am considering it.” I smile a little bit proud and Nadia smiles, clapping her hands.
“Oh my god that is so wonderful.” Nadia excitement show and I laugh.
“Yeah was a little nervous because I know that you and Otabek are Makar God parents so I wanted to just know if I was to go through this baby stage of my life would you like to possibly be ...you know of the new baby… Um Ruslan was going to have this conversation with your husband but he said I need to stop being scared of family so I am having this talk with you as a result.” I smiled and laughed nervously and Nadia just gave me a warm smile. “Plus out of all my friends and I have very little, you're the most responsible one I trust with my kids life.” I admit to her and she laugh.
“Awe love I am delighted and would love to god mom plus that was another reason why I came over, Otabek had told me about some of his and Ruslan conversation and so I was going to ask you anyway. Was like if she didn't pick me I would name all the friend dates we had enjoyed.” Nadia said with a little sass and I laughed.
“It was either you, Avery or Lyanna and yes they are responsible but no I don’t want my child having dangerous decision making when they get older.” I said and we both laugh,
“So Marya now that I have you with me I wanted to let you know that I am gathering some of the girls for something special soon and I wanted to know if you wanna join. I’ve been talking to otabek lately and I think it would be lovely to have you hang out with the rest of the Don’s wife like me.” Nadia offered giving me something to think about I was about to give my answer but I heard footsteps walking over catching Nadia and I attention.
Otabek and Ruslan came inview, Nadia walked over towards her husband as Ruslan walked over towards me, I felt his hand wrap around mine and his hand grip my face making me look at him studying my face.
“Hi.” I said, feeling a little off guard and while watching his black expression as he nodded his head.
“When were you going to tell me that your sister knows a difficult business partner of mine.” He whispered to me and I felt my stress creeping up. As he moved from my ear to give me that same blank stare and I looked at him blinking.
