Life is kicking my ass
But Deal With The Annoying 2 weeks' breaks just for like one more month
😭❤️

Alexei loaded his custom rifle. Boris stood next to him, smoking his cigarette. They stood in front of the black van parked in front of a warehouse in flames. Smoke escapes from the windows of them. Blood scatters across Alexei's face as he watches the scene unfold in front of him.

"I don't feel comfortable lying to your father," Boris speaks in Russian.

Alexei turns to him. He looks Boris up and down, his head slightly turning to the side. His eyes lower with his glares.

"Did I ask you how you feel?" Alexei asks him.

Boris let out a deep breath. "Alexei-"

"You don't say shit," Alexei says as calmly as ever. "If you go behind my back on this one Boris, I'm going to rip your fucking tongue out your mouth then I'm going carve your fucking heart out. Your loyalty lies with me." Alexei says rolling his eyes.

Boris's eyes glance at Alexei before looking back at the warehouse. Emotionless Boris tsk.

"I'm loyal to you and your father. I just don't want you to do something stupid because of some girl you met six months ago."

"And I don't want you to do something stupid for a man that I'm going to kill soon. Don't question me or my actions. Do what I say, stop worrying about my father, and take me home. I have blood on me." Alexei says opening the passenger side door.

Boris chuckles softly. "In your chauffeur now?"

"Hurry up."

Alexei watched Mercedes eat the food. He prepared it after taking a shower. For tonight he just wanted them to have dinner together. All alone with no one to interrupt them.

He pushes aside his hair to the side before clearing his throat. Mercedes look up at him, she put down the pastry before leaning back in her chair. Her eyes flutter as she looks away.

"What's it called again?" She asks him.

Alexei flicks his tongue over his bottom lip. He wasn't exactly hungry so his plate was left untouched. His eyes were low and just a tiny bit of red with bags under both his eyes.

"Pirozhki," Alexei says grabbing his glass of water.

"I like it. You should make it more often." Mercedes smiles softly.

Alexei nods before taking a sip of his water.

"Whatever you want dekta." He says nodding.

"What's your favorite dish? Something you like to cook?" Mercedes asks him.

"Borscht, only because it's easy. I like simple things."

"You're so lazy." Mercedes jokes before crossing her left leg over her right one.

He chuckles softly. "You would like it. I'll make it tomorrow." He tells her.

"You're trying to fatten me up?" Mercedes asks him.

"Of course I am. My girl needs to eat." He says placing his glass down.

"Mhmm right, I'll be right back," Mercedes says as she stands up.

Alexei's eyes look up at her and watch her leave the room. And on cue his phone rings. He takes it out of his left pocket and answers it before placing his phone up to his ear. His eyes look down at his plate.

"What now?" Alexei asks in Russian.

"Is that any way to treat your cousin?" Simeon asks.

"I'm hanging up now." Alexei sighs loudly.

Before he can hang up Simeon's loud voice cuts him off.

"Wait! Damn, you're so heartless. Your sister came and dropped something off over here. She scares me, but I'm more scared of you so I'm not touching shit. But I'm nosy, what the fuck is in the box?"

Alexei rolls his eyes. He slightly leans back in his chair. He shrug his shoulders even though he knew Simeon couldn't see his actions.

"Don't worry about it and don't open it. I'll come and pick it up tomorrow after I'm done with my errands." Alexei tells him.

"It better not be a bomb. I'm serious, I want to live a long-"

Alexei hangs up on the phone quickly before rolling his eyes once again. Mercedes enters the room and notice his annoyed state. Tilting her head to the side just a bit she looks at me.

"What's wrong?" She asks him.

He shakes his head before speaking in his thick Russian accent. "My cousins are fucking stupid that's all."
