Artemi was leaving for the All Star break tomorrow which left me alone in Chicago for three days. Chaunette was going with Andrew up to Canada and a lot of the other wives and girlfriends were traveling as well.
As of now, however, we were sitting in his apartment cuddling in his bed. We were watching TV but we had gotten distracted pretty quickly.
"Artemi!" I exclaimed excitedly.
He sat up a bit. "Yes princess?"
"Can you teach me some Russian?" I asked sweetly.
A grin spread across his lips. "Sure. What do you want to say?"
I thought a bit. "Well lets start simple. How do you say hello?"
"Easy," he said. "Здравствуйте"
(((omg ok im google translating all of this so correct me if it's wrong)))
"Okay, what about hockey?"
He thought for a second. "хоккей"
I kept asking him to translate words for me and he complied with a smile. "How do you say... Boyfriend?"
"That would be дружок," he replied. He stretched a little, making his shirt rise up and show part of his stomach.
"Okay, so I would say 'Artemi is my дружок' then?" I tried to pronounce it the best that I could.
"Not bad," he laughed. "But you're cute so you can get away with it."
I grinned and framed my face with my hands. "Tell me something I don't know," I joked, trying to distract him and myself from my blushing cheeks.
"я люблю тебя," Artemi spoke quickly. Even if I had heard him clearly I still wouldn't have known what he said since I obviously don't speak fluent Russian.
I stared at him confused. "What did you say?"
He smirked cheekily. "я люблю тебя," he repeated.
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, I got that. What does it mean in English?"
Artemi leaned over and pecked the tip of my nose. "I'll tell you soon."
"Artemi," I whined. "You know I hate waiting."
"Exactly," he smirked again. He leaned in and kissed me, all thoughts of what we were just talking about flying out of my head.
