Adriana's POV
"Where the fuck have you been?!"
"Ow mom! Stop pulling my ear!" I yelled
"I will not! You ran away for almost an entire fucking day. Do you understand how scared everyone was? Especially Aleksandr! He has a lot of anxiety with you going on missions."
"I didn't know, I'm sorry."
"You jumped out of a moving car! That would give any parent anxiety!" He let go of my ear to flick my forehead
"Quit nagging so much." I groan
"It's my job to nag! Someone has to mother you and we know it's not gonna be Aleksandr."
"Why can't you be a fun mom like Mabel?"
"Because every child needs a strict mom who thinks the stepmom and father of their child are too lenient." He reasoned
"Dad is not lenient!"
"He's way more lenient than me."
"Because you've been postponing your surgery."
"What surgery?" He sent me a confused look
"The one to remove the massive stick from your-owwww!" I yelped when he smacked the back of my head really hard
"Apologize to Mabel for breaking in."
I turned around and walked to Mabel who was sitting on the bed.
"I'm sorry for traumatizing you. The doors were locked and then I saw your window was open. I know you and dad have date nights the second Saturday of every month so I figured you two wouldn't be home. I wanted to sneak in quietly, shower, then go to sleep. Please don't be too upset you can't cook me dinner?"
The ending to my apology earned me another slap from my strict Russian mother
Mabel on the other hand giggled
"What do you want to eat?"
I laid on the bed and hugged her waist
"Can you make me that amazing grilled cheese from last time?"
"You're obsessed with that sandwich. Let me get dressed before Bunny gets home. I'll have a long night if he learns Dima saw me in only a robe."
"You're still very shaken up. I'll make JJ dinner while you try and relax." Mom told her
"Oddly enough, cooking is the only thing that's going to help me relax. This isn't my first rodeo."
"Do you want a hug at least?"
"My ex coming onto my fiancé? How very interesting." We all jumped at dad's voice
"This is why Adriana is like this! Why the fuck are you climbing through the window?!" Dima yelled at dad
"This is why we never worked out. All you do is nag." Dad joked
"Bunny why the window?" Sent him an unamused look
"I was ringing the doorbell for ten minutes straight and no one answered. I leave this window open so I can enter whenever I forget my keys."
