A little complicated / Janet x Katrina

Shopping/Katrina's P.O.V.

Janet's body warmth had helped me fall asleep quickly. When I opened my eyes that Saturday morning I found myself spooning with Janet. I moved away hoping she had not seen me doing that in the night. I could not be cuddly, I was rough and tough Katrina who could take a bear in the woods.

I left the bedroom to go make some breakfast. On weekdays I'd always made the boys fend for themselves but on weekends I'd cook us all a big delicious breakfast. I began to cook sharlotka for our breakfast and was almost finished when Janet entered into the hallway.

"Good morning Janet. How did you sleep?" I asked Janet.

"Morning Katrina. Best sleep I've gotten since Riley was born. She was always coming into my room to pester me at two a.m. I'm so glad I finally got to sleep in a bit." Janet yawned out.

"Well you're going to be even happier when you eat breakfast." I said pulling the delicious shartlotka out of the oven.

"Seregei I told you there was shartlotka. I could smell something that delicious anywhere." Misha darted out of his and Sergei's room right into Janet.

"When did Janet arrive? Is Riley here?" Misha asked, his eyes going all doe like. He and Riley had instantly clicked and became best friends the moment our families met. Janet and I became fast friends because of both her snarky attitude and the fact she almost loved alcohol as much as I did.

"She arrived yesterday night and no, Riley is not here." Sergei replied as he left his and his brothers room.

"Okay, boys, Janet. Do you want any delicious shartlotka?"

"Da," the boys responded in unison walking over to where I'd set plates up.

"Alright. I hope this is as delicious as you've been saying." Janet walked over to the counter grabbing a small piece of shartlotka.

We all grabbed some shartlotka with Misha piling almost all of it onto his plate. I gave him a side eye and he put some back. We sat at the table while eating discussing what we should do that day. Misha wanted Riley him and Sergei to hang out, Sergei wanted to go out for a hike and Janet had said she really didn't care.

"Is it that good?" I asked Janet who had left the table to go get seconds.

"Sorry. Yeah. It's delicious." Janet began to shove some back into the pan.

"No need to apologize. I like that you like my cooking," I responded while prodding my food with my fork.

We had finished breakfast and Janet was helping me clean up while the boys got ready for the day. She had begun to wash up the dishes when she screamed out.

"Crap! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to ruin your shirt. I'm so so sorry."

"It's alright Janet. It's a shirt I got at my first concert in America but it's still alright. You didn't try to spill on it. It was an accident correct?" How was I calm? Janet had spilled on my P!nk shirt but somehow I couldn't bring myself to be angry with her.  She nodded with a pearly white smile.

"Let's go shopping today. I was thinking we should get some clothes for you and some frozen toys for Riley. Since you guys will be staying here for a while," I decided.

"Yeah, but Riley is still with Roger and the y'know..."

"Don't worry. I'll deal with him." I cracked my knuckles giving her my best smirk. She gave me a light blush in return.

I was sitting on my phone scrolling through emails while waiting for Janet to come out of the dressing room. We arrived a while ago, dropping Misha and Sergei off at a mall daycare. I would have just let the boys walk around with us instead of paying a bunch of strangers to take care of my boys but Janet had insisted she do this to pay me back for my kindness. We had picked up clothes from a few different stores and I was now waiting for Janet to change.

An email in from the daycare lady, Amy, just as Janet left the dressing room. She spun around for me then I looked back at my phone.

The email said the mommy toddler day care group would be hosting a party where both the kids and their parents were invited. I scrolled down the list of replies to get a laugh. Karen obviously was the first one to respond, then there was Carol who was confused on using her phone but still said yes, Amelia said of course, all the typical moms in the group responded but than I stumbled across a name I didn't think had accepted it.

"Janet. Did you know about Amy hosting a party next weekend?" I asked her.

"As in Amy the daycare worker? No but I will accept if she's giving out free booze there. I definitely need a night to get drunk." She headed over to sit down with me.

I pushed my phone towards her face.

"It says this is for a girl named Destiny, Roger and Riley..." she trailed off.

"Roger didn't get amnesia or something right?" I asked her.

She gave a chuckle "Not that I know of. What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking we go remind that man that you're beautiful. You show up at the party with me, remind him of who he cheated on, I punch him in the face, we take all the party's vodka, then go to a beach or somewhere and get wasted." I responded.

"Eh, he's not worth our time, plus I don't really want to get arrested for physical abuse. I do think we should go to the party and look fabulous though."

"Well I'm going to go look for a beautiful dress for me... go pick out some everyday clothes and an amazing outfit. Goodbye." I handed her some money and left old navy.

I needed to find something hot. If Janet was going to look like a goddess so should her best friend.

Ok I'm at a point where this could go one of two ways.
1. This becomes a mafia story, a pro would be getting to see Katrina rip heads off of people and have lots of angst a con would be this story would likely have to be mature
2. This becomes the cheesiest romance book ever, a pro would be getting to see Marie's opinion on the feud with her sister but we also wouldn't have to see Katrina and Marie having to work together. I'm good either way I just want to know what you guys think
