[ON HOLD] The Romanov Princess

Double Trouble

They dragged me into their pickup truck like a lifeless mannequin. I saw my ducatti resting in the back of the truck and I smiled like an idiot who heard a joke. I was aware of my surroundings but I let myself be swayed like a total retard. He grunted when I couldnt even climbed inside the truck.
is sister groaned in frustration and smacked the truck.

"Hey! Ne moy rebenok!" He scolded his pretty little sister and scooped me up in his arms and put me in the truck.

"Spasibo, Alexis." I said.

"You should not have been drinking, Tatiana if we were not there." He said.

"I called a million times and no one gave a fuck." I said.

"Sorry, honey. I was studying for my debate team." Said the ever-so-brilliant friend of mine in education, Vasilisa.

"I knew you were busy burying your eyebrows in your books. What about you?" I asked Alexis and he averted he gaze.

The car had already started and we entered the russian traffic.

"His busy with his mistress." Lisa answered my question to his twin brother.

I snorted and closed my eyes.

"She's not my mistress! We're studying!"

"Yeah. Studying. Do erotic moans count as studying?"  Sneered Lisa at his brother.

I ignored their sibling fight and tried to sleep. But my thoughts went to the silver haired guy who I loathed more than anyone.

I was left dumbfounded on the floor when he said those insulting words.

"I'll never forget you! Next time we meet, I'll kick your fucking balls!" I muttered.

I went back to the bar and got drunk. Mind you, I dont get drunk easily.
It will take a whole damn barrel to get me drunk.
en I was already passing out, the bartender called the twins and they immediately picked me up at the bar.

Alexis and Vasilisa Bediel were my mother's bestfriend's children and they practically grew up with me. They are my childhood friends since day one.

Alexis was my partner in crime. A womanizer by heart, he joins me in my crazy adventures. His sister, Lisa is his opposite. She's my guardian. She tells me when I'm getting out of hand and she guides me whenever I am in trouble.

ey balance my life. And I love them. They're my Russian bestfriends.

Alexis glared at his sister and drove silently. I just stared at the ceiling of his truck. I'm so tired, I thought as traffic caught us. Lisa turned the stereo on and   great song came blasting through the speakers.

I sat up as I recognized the familiar tune.

"Oh my gosh. This is my mother's song." I got up and opened the window behind me. ISince I was small enough to fit my body towards the window,  went out of the truck and stood up. And started waving my hands up in the air.
"Oh my god, Tati! You are crazy! Sumasshedshiy!" Shrieked Vasilisa as I sang along to the song and put my arms up to the air while standing up. I was careful of course.

I thought about my mother and how I wished she was here. I remembered her perfume and how her gold bedroom shone in the light of her chandelier and how her smile would always comfort me.

Eveebrydy thought that I dont remember them and how sorry they were for my loss. But I do remember them and I hate how they looked sympathetic at me, their eyes filled with pity.By the song was finished, I was wide awake. I went back to the passenger's seat and took my phone.

12:45 p.m.

'It's still early.' I thought.

"Let's have fun! Screw what you have to do and let's do bar hopping!" I suggested.

"No. You are going home Tati." Said Lisa.

I groaned in frustration and looked at Alexis. He smiled and nodded his head. He turned his 'baby' to the left and I laughed.

"Woooh! Let's stop at The Club!" I said, happily.

"Alexis Bediel! Chto, chert voz'mi, ty delayesh'?!?"

"Bar hopping." Said Alexis calmly.

Shortly, we arrived at The Club. It was packed with people and since we are special guests, we already cut the line and we got in.

The Club is a famous bar in Russia that was brought by the Americans in 1950s. It has the shape of a club like in the deck of cards and it has been decorated that suits the style of the rich and the famous.

Alexis and I went straight to the bar and ordered hard liquor. Lisa slumped at the seat beside me and ordered a martini.

"Too scared to drink, Lisa?" I mockingly asked.

"If tomorrow would be just an ordinary day, then why not? But I cant get too drunk, Tati. I have a debate contest tomorrow." She said.

"Oh come on! One drink or two of hard liquor will not ruin you! Besides, even though you're drunk tonight doesnt mean you cant win the contest tomorrow." I said.

"Tatiana." Growled Lisa while giving me a glare. "I cant."

I gave her puppy eyes and after seconds of staring, she finally gave in.

W cheered and danced and got drunk. I dont even think Alex can drive. While Lisa and I were dancing, a on the middle of the dance floor,ommotion happened at the bar. We gave it a look and was surprised that Alexis was having fun in toe bop of tar counter.

He was grinding himself to a beautiful lady. We laughed but then trouble came. And when I say trouble, it's a macho man versus the Russian Heir of Bediel Industries.

Macho guy took the beautiful lady from the counter top and punched Alexis in the face.

"Alex!!!" We shouted.

We ran towards the bar and the two egotistical men were fighting. The bouncers were having a hard time getting them to stop, so I interfered.

I  smashed a bottle of beer in macho guy's head and he turned around to look at me. Anger was in his eyes. He tried to hold me with his sausage fingers but I backed away and punched him in the face.

He was shocked and Alex pushed him towards one of the bouncers. I kicked him in the ass and finally gave him a blow that made him pass out.

The three of us ran towards the exit. I got a chance to look at the freaking crowd and I instantly swore. I recognized one of them as  one of the paparazzis that fo constantlyllow mes.

"We need to go." Lisa said.

We climbed up the track and sped off.

Vasilisa gave us quite a lecture on the way to the Romanov Manor. Alexis was only quiet and did not look at his twin.

"Both of you will be the death of me!" She said.

We came at last at the manor and I said goodnight to them before Vasilisa starts her lecture again. Alex brought my motorcycle down and I waved at them before leaving me.

I put my motorcycle in my secret garage and scaled the iron gates and again climbing the tree to my room. When I was safely in my room, I took a bath quickly and sat slumped my body on top ofbed.

My phone rang and I read a text message.

"Read the newspaper tomorrow." It was from Alexis and I sure know that I will be in front of the headlines tomorrow in the papers, which will surely give grandfather a headache.

I smirked.

'I cant wait for Old Romanov to be pissed off again.' I thought as I closed my eyes to sleep.
