Late Nights With Novikov

Joke

I took him down to the café to show him my favorite place to get coffee and talk and watch the people around me. I usually I would come alone but I brought this Russian boy with me. I order my black coffee like normal with a few flirty remarks from the women taking my order, and then Nikolas order a peach mango green tea. I have never heard of this drink before and it sounded odd but never the less I had to be nice to him. I then got our drinks and meet him at a table in the corner I always sit in. It was around 12 in the morning Nikolas looked at me and stated "Why was the women flirting with you?" "What do you mean?" He leans over to me and whispers "Are you two dating?" "Hell no" "NO" he said standing up and making a scene in the café. I started to grab his arm and make him sit down and said "why is it such a big deal?" "Well, you are just playing with her feelings. That is not a gentleman move!" "Who told you little prince that I am a gentleman." he looked confused and then looked at me and said "You're mother?" I then almost busted a lung from laughing so hard. Tears almost formed in me eyes. "Leon, why are you laughing so hard?" "My mother finds me a gentlemen" I then drank my coffee and watched the people walk around. "You are so cute when you are focused on people, simpatichnyy mal'chik." Then shot a look at him almost to say don't ever say that again. He jumped at the look very cute jump to. Wait, what are you thinking you dumb ass. A guy cute no, no, no! You are not gay stop it. I then looked back at Nikolas. "I am ready to go somewhere else, my dear tour guide." he then got up and looked at me. I sighed and got up and followed the energetic Russian out the door. 

I have gone up and down these streets so many times but this time felt extremely different. Watching Nikolas run up and down and look through the windows as like a child when you give them to much candy. We even went into a store and he bought a mango monster and he was even more reason to bounce around. I then texted Jet and Amethyst to meet us at our normal lunch and dinner diner where Amethyst Aunt works. "HEY NIKOLAS" I yelled to him as he was halfway down the street. He then ran to me and said "Yes, simpatichnyy mal'chik!" "My friends, are eating lunch at our normal place. Would care to join and meet them and have dinner?" He smiled and nodded. I then lead the way. I walking in to the 60s/50s themed dinner, Nikolas left my side and his eye lit up. He ran to the old jukebox tucked in the corner of the room he then stared at the ground and the pictures and painting upon the wall. He was fascinated at the sight of the diner. 

I then found my normal table and saw Amethyst chilling out and looking out the window and sitting alone. I came up the table and asked "Do you have room for me?" "No, as you can see I have a full table and I don't need a wanna be musician here" I laughed and then sat next to him. "Who is the lost kid with you." "My mom's reason she cared about dinner." Amethyst turned his head like a dog. "Bro are you being honest?" I shook me head and rubbed the back of my neck and looked at a little prince dancing next to the jukebox and looking happy and so fucking adorable. I then look back and said "He is from Russia he is a exchange student he is finishing senior year with us. "Wow from Russia! That is fucking sick!" He then got a smack in the back of the head. It was Jet, she loved to smack him around. "Who is the cutie dancing?" she asked sitting down. "Nikolas, Russia, staying at my house." I said and then looked back and saw he was missing. I then looked around and he still wasn't there. 

"Boo!" he said from behind the seat scaring me half to death. "I got you simpatichnyy mal'chik." he then laughed and looked at Jet "May I sit here Ma'am?" I put my face in my hands this boy is to formal. "Ma'am!? Hell yeah you may!" Jet said quickly moving over for him. "See this is the respect I deserve take notes." she said pointing at me and Amethyst "Ma'am sounds like a old lady." Amethyst said looking at Jet. "Agreed, I like old lady Jet better." I smiled at the now pouting girl in front of us. Then Auntie Ava showed up and looked at us. "A new one I see?" look to Nikolas, "Hey Auntie, this is Nikolas he is from Russia!" Amethyst stated "Russia! Wow! I will try and cook the best food for you then young traveler." Ava said to him. All of us said our normal meals and then I was really wondering what a Russia would want from a little dinner. "Mac and Cheese!" I about died when that is what asked for. "O sorry. May I please have Mac and Cheese?" he gave the biggest puppy dog eyes to Auntie Ava. "Of course my little Russian" she smiled and asked for his drink "Chocolate milkshake pretty please and with whipped cream and cherry's." she nodded and walked away. We sat and Jet and Amethyst introduced themselves and talked about them and there hobbies. I never knew what Nikolas enjoyed until now really. I found out he loved reading, Greek gods, music, and was in love with musicals. He talked about so many he went to see with his mother. His favorite food if you can call it that was chocolate. The food arrived and I sat as my friends talked with him i started to hum songs to myself. I over heard them talking about me. "Why is simpatichnyy mal'chik humming, song to self?"  "He does it a lot when he is thinking, making a song, or stressed?" Jet responded. "Okay so this is normal?" "Yes, My Russian Man." Amethyst said. 

After we ate I started to walk Nikolas back to the house. I was next to him and he asked. "Why didn't you talk much at dinner?" I looked at him and wondered to myself why he cared so much about my conversion. "Well because you where talking to my friends and I didn't want to disrupt." I then looked down I felt odd admitting that and too him because I barely know him. "L.....Le......Le...." he sigh out of anger from saying my name "simpatichnyy mal'chik your words are important and should be ear." he nodded proudly. "Ear?!" I looked at him confused. "Ear, listen?" "heard?" "Yes that is the word." I began to laugh at him. "Why you laugh my simpatichnyy mal'chik?" "Because Nikolas, it is funny to me and it is adorab....." I stop myself before I could finish. Nikolas smiled came across his little face with some small eyeliner on his eyes. "Is that eyeliner?" I asked wondering about the black on his eye. "Yes want to see?" He then put his face so close to mine we where almost touching noses. I stood there like an idiot staring into his dark blue eyes the type of blue you would only see if you looked on the ocean surface,  looking at his cheeks with freckles that covered his skin on his cheeks. I could feel myself turning red. "See I think you look adorable, like this" He then paused and grabbed the bottom of my jaw with just his index holding the bottom gently , and his thumb press upon where he was just barely touching my lower lip the whisper in a much deeper voice "My simpatichnyy mal'chik" I freaked and pushed him away started to catch my breath cause in the moment I feel as if I stopped breathing. "Now that was funny!" he stated before starting to walk again. THIS MOTHER FUCKER THINKS I AM A JOKE. I started walking with him after I got my breathing back. 

We cam home it was fairly late around midnight my mom and dad where in there bedroom sleeping. He then began to walk up to his room and I to mine. "Good night." I heard his soft voice say to me. Before I could turn around and acknowledge him he was in his room. I then went to bed. I was to lazy to change out of my outfit, so right went my head hit the pillow I passed out.
