Beshert

Chapter 3

It was finally the weekend! I was free for two whole days! And boy did I have plans, Liss, Vika, and I were going to go to my dad's club tonight and have some fun dancing. I had gotten a new dress last weekend and couldn't wait to wear it as well.

It was late Saturday afternoon and I was about to start getting ready when there was a knock on my door.

"Come in." I yelled to whoever it was.

"Kizim!" my dad greeted walking into my room.

"Hey baba, what's up?"

"Well I just got a call and your mother and I have to go on business tomorrow for the next week and a half. So we will unfortunately be missing your birthday, I am sorry but it's an emergency. So we decided to move your birthday dinner up for tonight."

"Baba really? You promised you would be here and that me and the girls could go to your club tonight." I said disappointment clear in my voice.

"I know kiz, I am so sorry but it's unavoidable. I promise we will make it up to you when we get back. Okay?"

I nodded knowing that his business must be incredibly important to miss my 18th birthday.

"Now get ready, everyone will be here soon."

"Alright I will be down soon."

He left and I decided that I would go ahead and wear my new dress anyways.

I was soon done and ready, about to go downstairs when I heard the doorbell, and the last voice I wanted to hear. Dimitri, he just had to be here! I mean I know I grew up with his sister and the rest of his family was like our family as well but I hoped he wouldn't have been invited.

Now not at all excited for my impromptu party I slowly made my way down the stairs to the living room where I noticed not only the Belikovs but Lissa's family as well. I guess I was the last to show, oh well it was my party and everyone knows I'm never on time anyways. I looked around and saw Lissa and my brother were here too, this surprised me because when I talked to Lissa earlier she said they would be late to the club because of some apartment meeting (her and Christian live together now that they have their marks, it's customary for couples to move in together once they find their beshert).

"Ah and here the birthday girl is now." My dad said standing up and coming over to give me a hug.

I hugged him back and said my hellos to everyone, though I just glared at Dimitri who rolled his eyes and went back to talking to my mom.

Everyone soon went into the dining room where home made pizza, salad, garlic bread, and potato pancakes were served. I know weird combo but they were all my favorites. For dessert we had brownies with fudge icing, home made doughnuts, and ice cream. I was in heaven, I ate a whole pizza by myself not to mention the eight pancakes, two servings of salad, five pieces of garlic bread, four brownies, four doughnuts, and a huge helping of ice cream to top it all off. Boy do I love my food.

"Ugh, I'm stuffed!" I said while sitting down on the couch.

"No wonder I think a cow who has multiple stomachs don't eat as much as you." Was Christians snarky response.

I flipped him off, he laughed, my mom glared and gave me a "Rosemarie". I just shrugged it was present time!

I got loads of new cool stuff! A '67 matte black mustang from my dad, a shit ton of clothes from Liss, Christian got me a $100 iTunes gift card, the Belikovsas got me a spa day and Lissa's family got me a helmet and leather jacket/pants for the Yamaha motorcycle my mom bought me.

What shocked me was the last present I received from Dimitri.

"Dimitri, this is to much, I can't accept this." I said as I looked down at the rose gold seven seals amulet in my hands.

"It wasn't much, plus it's not like I'm hurting for money, and it is your 18th birthday. So just be quiet and take the gift." He said.

I had forgotten that Dimitri was insanely rich, he was extremely smart and had a gaming website that was huge that he then sold at 19 for millions of dollars.

"Thank you." I said to him giving him a genuine smile.

I really didn't understand why he bought me this, I didn't think he'd get me anything and here he was giving me a protection amulet that was really expensive. He confused the shit out of me, he was always so cold but here he was giving me a nice gift. Ahh! I really hated this man!

Soon after everyone left and I decided to go to bed, it was later then I realized and I had to work on my homework tomorrow.

My homework was not that hard, well except math and I was in stupid math not even the harder math classes. I took wood shop for the fourth year in a row so there was no homework there. I had finished a mid summers nights dream so all I had to do was fill in the work sheet for the first two acts, history was also a breeze we were watching these movies that started in 1900 and went to present day. Each was a decade long so it was 1900-1909, 1910-1919 etcetera. So I had to fill out a worksheet for the 30's, and unlike everyone else I took notes so it was easy too.

Once I was finished I just vegged out and watched some TV, and before I knew it, it was time for a new week.
