My first day at the house of Mr. Alexei's was much more entertaining than I had thought it would be initially. That's not to say I didn't think his family was neither an amusing or vivacious one, but because I wasn't expecting all that happened throughout the rest of the day. After Yelena had taught me how to float in the water we went back to her home. She'd challenged me to a sprint once we'd reached the plot of grass in front of the mansion, one which I failed as I slipped, landing with a big impact on my tailbone once hitting the ground.
Yelena found it amusing, though I found it rather painful, leaving me with a soreness for the rest of the day. Not much to my surprise, Natasha found it funny as well. As she was walking out of the mansion for her date, we walked past one another and that's when she noticed the big, brown, mark on the area of my butt on the trousers. She cackled loudly, "Did you shit your pants?"
"I fell!" I explained only for Natasha to toss her head back, cackling loudly and waving us off, saying goodbye as she entered her carriage. After showering and changing into different clothes, Yelena decided on taking me onto a tour of the mansion, starting with the bottom floor.
She first showed me her dining room, which was the area you were met with on your left of entering the home. Heading straight on from the dining room, assuming you're entering the room connected to it, you enter a large room filled with art, flowers, a few couches, and a door leading to the outside. Though it would also serve the purpose of a place of entertainment, tea drinking, and conversations to be held, it was not the drawing room. As the drawing room was on the other side of the house, being on the right side and not the left.
I was shown the kitchen, the drawing room again, a cupboard below one of the two sets of staircases, her father's study on the first floor, and both the stairs and doors which led to the areas of the house which the servants occupied. She then took me to the second floor, showing me the door to her parent's room, Natasha's door, another study which her father used for personal business, the first office being for meetings with businessmen as it looked more like a lounge area. She then showed me another guest room, the bathroom on the second floor, stating, "Just in case you shit yourself again," grinning at me as I nudged her arm with my elbow playfully.
Another room which I was shown to was an entertainment room, being that it did carry a billiards table, a few bookshelves, a dart board, poker table, a small bar, and many chairs. This was where we found Melina, seeing her sitting on a single chair, her feet propped on a small ottoman of sorts, her glasses on the ridge of her nose while she puffed a Cuban cigar. She stood up from her seat, puffing her cigar as she invited us in. "How was the creek?" Melina asked as we sat down on single seats across from her. "Very fun," I answered with a smile, "Yelena was trying to teach me to swim," I looked over to Yelena, hearing her mother laugh as she said, "You should find another teacher then."
"I'm not that terrible," Yelena said in a slight whine, her mother still laughing as she responded with, "Not terrible but you are a bryzgovik," she laughed. "You splash a lot," she imitated her daughter by bobbing her hand in the air as though she were stroking in the water with the impact Yelena demonstrated at the creek.
