The Bread Man

Author's note: wow I actually updated this woo! Also I will be doing this if somebody says something in Russian, (R) will come after it and if nothing is after, then it's in English. Also, I am not the best with these kind of stories so just bear with me.

A couple of weeks have passed, and Artemi and I have been in close contact. We have definitely gotten closer, and tonight he gladly welcomed me to another one of his games.

The game seemed to go by pretty quickly, a 4-3 win against the Predators. I walked back to the locker rooms with Gianna. I saw Artemi, who had just walked in from the ice. He looked over at me with a smile, and walked my way. As he got closer, I definitely smelled the sweat from the game. As he leaned in for a kiss, I pressed a hand on his chest,"Go take a shower, sweaty." I said with a chuckle. He stopped and looked down and said quietly,"Okay. Meet you outside."(R).

I walked outside of the United Center and into the player parking lot, where Gianna had parked. She looked up at me from her phone. "Hey." She mumbled,"Are we taking Artemi home tonight?"

"Yeah he's just getting ready." I replied. Gianna groaned and said,"Ugghhhh. I know you really like him and to do this, but please take your car next time."

"Yeah, yeah I will, this is like the tenth time you've said this." I replied with a laugh. We chatted for a while when Artemi strolled out into the parking lot. "Hello." He said as he looped an arm around my waist. I smiled and leaned back into his chest, as I hear Gianna shout," C'mon you two lovebirds!"

I sat next to Gianna, who was driving and Artemi hopped in the back. It was a surprisingly quiet ride back to Artemi's house, and Gianna stopped up next to the driveway. "I'm guessing you are staying with Artemi so, I'll pick you up whenever you are ready." Gianna said with a sigh. I replied with a quick nod as me and Artemi hopped out of the car. "So what do you want to do?" (R) Artemi asked out of the blue.

"I wouldn't mind just hanging out on the couch, but that's just me. I'm really tired that's all." (R) I replied.

"Okay." (R) he said with a smile. Man did I love his smile. It was just so cute in all of its unique ways. We both just collapsed on the couch, and Artemi put his arm around my neck. "I love you little kitten." (R) He whispered into my hair. Artemi and I had nicknames for each other as kids, and his was little kitten. Mine was little puppy, but he always thought it should be something different. "I love you too little puppy." (R) I said quietly. The feeling of him in my arms is something I missed for years. I could tell he was happy about it, and he wouldn't be anywhere else than here. I let out a content sigh, and Artemi replied by kissing the back of my head. Soon I felt myself slowly drift into sleep.
