Evelyn's POV
It took a few weeks to get everyone sorted out.
Those women we're from all over the globe! I don't even know how they got ahold of someone from Fiji but at least she's home now.
Star was one of the first to go. I wanted her home as soon as possible.
There is currently an ongoing investigation about what happened. Police have arrested about fifty Russians and they have more in questioning. They weren't connected to Popov from my understanding, but Dimitri wants all of us to lay low and go on with daily life.
He said we know what to do if we're stopped by police.
"My mother knows about us." Dimitri's comment catches me off guard, making me choke on air.
"Wh-at?" I choke out.
"She figured it out." He shrugs.
You know what they say...a mother always knows.
"Well?" I push.
"She's fine with it. She said she wants to see us though."
I roll my eyes. How can be be so chill about this? Does this mean my dad knows?
"Your dad doesn't care either. My mom said he knows I can keep you safe," he flexes his bicep muscle, "which I can."
I giggle, "I have muscles too," I flex my bicep. A pathetic lump compared to his.
His eyes go wide and he walks closer.
"Wow, how you get muscles like these? Are you taking steroids?" He gasps while feeling the small muscle.
I laugh and nod, "a ton."
We both laugh together until he picks me up over his shoulder.
"Hey! Not cool!" I protest.
He just laughs and continues to bring me up the stairs until we're in the room with all my clothes, then he drops me on the bed I never sleep in anymore.
"Get dressed. I told them we'd be there soon." He blows me a kiss and leaves the room. I assume to get ready himself.
I quickly take a look out the window to see what weather I need to dress for.
Small beads of snow fall from the sky onto a white, snow covered ground.
"It's probably freezing." I whisper to myself as I go through my drawers of clothes.
I decide on a burnt orange sweater with thick black leggings, a brown scarf, and black boots. I know I'll still probably be cold since New York has harsh winters, but Dimitri can warm me up if needed.
I straighten the waves out of my hair and put on some makeup. I actually did a full face today, a brown smokey eye with winged eyeliner, a warm pink lipstick, and some blush to look like I have cute rosy cheeks.
When I check myself out in the mirror, Dimitri comes into the room with Jinx in his arms.
"My baby!" I grab Jinx out of his arms with a large smile.
"You look beautiful, piccola." He stares.
I laugh and poke his chin, "you look handsome."
He kisses me, smearing my lipstick on his lips.
"Oh, how pretty. Look!" I giggle and drag him towards the mirror.
