In Love With A Stripper.... Literally

Demetria Pt 2.

I awoke to Tria’s laughter. I stretched and threw the covers off. I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and stood up.  I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth.  I looked in the mirror and saw my reflection.

            My usually wavy hair looked like a bird’s nest, my face looked flushed.  But my eyes, my eyes had a happy shine to it. I smiled and finger combed my hair.  Much  better. I thought as I looked at my reflection once more. I turned off the light and walked out the bathroom.  I walked into the room and made the bed.  I walked downstairs and leaned on the kitchen frame watching the two most important in my life.  Dima was trying to feed Tria cheerios and she kept throwing it on the floor. 

            “C’mon princess, why are you making daddy suffer so much?” He asked her pouting at him.  She looked at him and threw another one at him laughing.  He let out a sigh and rubbed his face in frustration.

            “She doesn’t like cheerios.” I said finally moving away from the door frame.  He looked up and gave me a sheepish grin.

            “Well, that would have been good to know twenty minutes ago.” He said taking Tria’s bowl away from her.  He got up and disposed the rest in the garbage. He put the bowl in the sink and approached me.

            “So, what does our princess like?” He asked as he pulled me into his arms. I held him close and inhaled his scent.  He pulled back and placed a kiss on my mouth.  I pulled his head back down and pressed my lips to his. I sucked in his bottom lip and nibbled on it. He deepen the kiss and as usual I was lost in la-la-land.  He pulled back and looked at me smiling.

            “You still didn’t answer my question.”

            “Er, what was it?” I asked blushing. He laughed and pulled me to the kitchen table.  I leaned over and pressed a kiss to Tria’s head.

            “Oh yeah.  She likes to eat mini pancakes and strawberry syrup.” I said getting up and getting the ingredients out.

            “Uh. Wow okay. She has a hearty appetite.” He said with a surprised look on his face.

            “You’re telling me.” I said laughing. “ Wanna help?”

            “Sure.” He said putting the ingredients in the bowl, mixing them.  I was surprise that he knew his name around the kitchen, I did not expect that at all.

            “Why are you looking at me like that?” He asked looking at me with an amused expression.

            “I didn’t know you cooked.” I said shaking my head laughing.

            “You didn’t ask and besides, if I didn’t learn Yuri would probably starve us or burn down the house.”

            “Wow, you never fail to surprise me babe.”

            “That’s good, that way I’ll keep you interested.” He said throwing a wink my way. “So do you make your syrup from scratch or do you use the ones sold in the store?”

“ Tria likes them from scratch.  It tastes better.” I said going to the fridge to get the strawberry, orange and the lemon out.  I went to the cupboard and got the sugar.  I cut the strawberries and put in the pot.  I added some lemon juice and grated some of the orange skin.  I turned on the stove and started to mix everything.

After twenty minutes everything was ready to be eaten.  I set the table while Dima served the food.  He gave Tria hers and we digged in. 

            “Hmm, this is  yummy Dima!” I exclaimed. “This pancake is the best!”

            “Thanks, it’s an old family recipe.  The syrup is good. I have never tasted anything better.”  He said smiling.

I blushed and went back to eating.  After breakfast Dima did the dishes and I bathed Tria and got her dressed.  I put her in this cute blue shorts and a pink shirts. I slipped her pink socks on went back to the living room with her.  Dima was on the couch reading something on his phone. He looked up as I walked and gave me the sweetest smile ever.

“Hey, do you mind watching while I go shower?”  I asked putting Tria on the ground. She walked to where Dima was and climbed into his lap.

“Of course babe.” He said putting his phone away and pulling Tria into a hug. She planted a kiss on his cheek and turned on the TV and put SpongeBob on.  I smiled at them and left to get ready.

Best Saturday ever! I thought squealing to myself.  I walked to the room and grabbed my towel.  I stripped down and wrapped it around me.  I walked into the bathroom with a big goofy grin on.  After a quick fifteen minute shower. I pulled on a pair of denim skinny jeans and a hot pink vintage shirt.  I added some mouse to my hair and let my natural waves show.  I went to the bathroom and put some mascara and eyeliner on . for the final touch , some a nude colored lip gloss that I got from Dolce and Gabbana a while back. Satisfied with my reflection I left the bathroom and sent a quick text to Cara asking how she was and wishing her a good day. When  I was done I made my way back to my two loves.
