I woke up the next morning with something tickling my cheek. I swear im going to kill Blake. “Blake swear if you don’t stop I am going to put a bullet in your head” I said irritated. He retracted his hand and then I felt knuckles grazing my skin. “It’s not Blake”
That voice, melting my soul. I eyes flew open and there he was in all his Dmitri Godness glory. But what the hell was he doing here, in my bedroom.
“What the hell are you doing here?” I asked as I sat up in bed. “I came to see if my father was still alive and I thought while I was here we could do the talking thing. Here I made you coffee.”
“Thanks.” I took the coffee from him before I continued. “Did you find them?” I asked taking a sip of my coffee.
“I was actually too scared to go and look.”
“Well let me just put on something warm then I’ll help you look.” He stood up and before I could say anything he took off his hoodie.
“Here take mine.” And with the way he took it off some of his tattoos on his hip bone showed. I had that familiar feeling in my body. I turned my eyes towards the bed and try to calm myself down.
I wanted to protest but again before I could say anything he intervened. “Don’t even argue with me. I have a jersey on I’ll be fine”
I put down my coffee and put his hoodie on. That smell of him stuck to that hoodie and I wanted to cry. I miss him so much.
By the time we got to the kitchen my coffee was finished. We have looked in every room upstairs and downstairs but they were nowhere.
“They are just like fucking teenagers” I cursed. I heard Dmitri chuckle behind me. One of the maids appeared and she looked very concerned.
“Miss Black?”
“Yeah?”
“Your father got really drunk last night and I took it upon myself to stay awake and make sure that he is okay.”
“Okay thank you for that. Do you know where he is?”
“Uhm I do. They are both still outside in the pool. I wanted to come and get you because it’s cold outside and it’s about to rain. They are passed out. I don’t know what to do”
“It’s okay we’ll take care of it. Uhm will you make me 2 greasy breakfasts and strong black coffee 2 of them and just put them here.”
“Right away Miss Black”
“I’ll be right back” I said to Dmitri and went to father’s study. When I came back Dmitri was looking through the window towards the pool.
“You gotta see this” he said looking back at me with a grin on his face.
I looked outside and the sight was horrible but fucking funny. We went outside and she was right they were on the pool on two blow up mattresses sleeping with drinks still in their hands.
I went inside and got two towels. I threw the towel towards Dmitri and he caught them. I held up the airhorn I retrieved from the study and I looked towards Dmitri. When he saw the airhorn his eyes flew open. “Are you ready?” I asked him and he nodded. I went towards the pool and blew the air horn. Daddy and Alex had such a big fright that both of them threw their drinks to one side and fell in the pool. We started laughing at both of them.
When they got out Dmitri threw the towels at both of them. “Breakfast will be ready in thirty minutes. I would suggest that both you gentlemen go freshen up.” With that I turned around and went inside Dmitri following swiftly behind me.
After thirty minutes both of them came down in sweat pants a t-shirt and slippers. Their breakfasts were put in front of them. They started looking very green in the face. “The greasy food will help as will the coffee and Advil.” They didn’t say anything and started eating very slowly.
Both Dmitri and I just stood there looking at them then looking at each other smiling. Crazy old people.
I went into the movie room and put down two blankets and pillow for them. Also next to each seat I put a very large bottle of icy cold water. I went to the maids and the men to please not bother daddy with any work today as did Dmitri only by phone call.
I went to daddy and informed both of them that work has been taken care of and that the movie room was set up for them for the day.
“Come on” I said to Dmitri and he followed me upstairs. “I’m just going to take a quick shower then we can go somewhere to talk. Think of a place so long.” I said disappearing into the closet to get myself some clothes. I came out and Dmitri was sitting on the bed.
I went inside the bathroom and locked the door. I don’t want that possibility to happen, him coming in here seducing me and forgetting about that talk.
When I was done I put my hair in a nice braid and got dressed. I put Dmitri’s hoodie back on again. I was just not ready to let him go just yet.
When I came out from the bathroom Dmitri was looking at the dress I wore last night. I didn’t hang it up or anything I was too tired. He looked at me and pointed to his hoodie.
“Nah ah fuck you this is mine now” I said grabbing my bag. He chuckled at me “You can keep it” he said. Well thank you kind sir.
We went downstairs and I thought I would just peek into the movie room to see if they were still alive. We peeked inside and suddenly Dmitri spoke behind me and I didn’t know he was this close to me almost touching.
“I’m so glad I’m not them” he said. I closed my eyes I needed to control myself. “Lets go” I said walking to the front door. I stopped right outside looking at his car. He passed me and opened the passenger door.
“Do you have a car for each day of the week?”
