Nanny Dearest

Chapter Seventeenth Dont make it weird

"Out, out the kitchen now,Чертов дурак" [translation: Damn fool]

Ms.Katia wave at one of the maids giving her plates of food and rushing her out the kitchen. I am dicing up some carrots before steaming them, the kitchen was going at a fast pace and some of the guests arrived. This is making me feel like I'm back at the diner do to the fact Katia is screaming her head off and food is being sent out fast. No one eating but we are setting it out. A loud bang enter came from the kitchen and we all looked over to see a maid holding a plate of shrimps for dear life why her back was against the wall. Halston hands where in his pocket and he looked worried for a split second. He was dress kind of nice, cleaned up a little. He was wearing Navy blue dress pants and a black tee shirt that was tucked in and the blue blazer was over his shoulder. He had on black dress shoes to match.

"WHY ARE YOU IN THE KITCHEN." Katia yelled and I held in a laugh seeing her old small self walk over to him and pushed him. Halston stayed put but was smiling trying to cover from her hits. "What do you want child, sneaking food? Go wait." She tried to pushed him out but he wouldn't budge.

"I need to borrow Marya for a second, ow stop hitting me. Fuck are you on steroids?" he said and some of the girls laughed in the kitchen.

"What do you need Marya for?" Katia asked and I finished up chopping the carrots putting then in the pot before washing my hands and drying with a paper towel before walking over to this small commotion.

"Ruslan wants her at the moment." He said and Katia glared at Halston for a good moment.

"Вон из моей кухни." She said pushing us both out and we were in the dining room. Halston started to walk ahead and I followed in silence. He dig in his pocket pulling out a cigarette putting it in his mouth and went back in his pocket to pulling out a lighter.

"You gonna have the manor smelling like cigarettes while guests are over?" I asked and he paused for a second and mumbling something under his breath but if I'm being honest the man mock my voice putting the lighter away and cigarette tuck on his ear. Him and I walked upstairs and going down the hall to where I'm assuming Mr.Nikiforov room.

"You fucked my brother?" Halston randomly pop that question and I was dumbfounded for a whole second.

"No" I said and he stop turning to me folding his arms.

"Fuckin weird, I made a complaint about you commenting on my smoking earlier and he laughed it off." Halston looked at me with all serious.

"He probably find you amusing complaining about you trying to smoke in the Manor." I respond and he folded his arms.

"Usually people get fired for disrespecting their boss family." He shoot me glare like a the kid he is, well in my opinion of course.

"Well I guess I'm entertaining to keep around." I said and Halston rolled his eyes and open the door to Mr.Nikiforov room. We walked in and his room his just big for no reason, its very clean and everything that's in here is black and white, way modern but then again that half the Manor. He had a few white couches in the corner with a small table and black carpet underneath. Two black dressers was on each side of the bed that was big and neatly made and who ever did it must have worked at a hotel or hospital before because they tucked it like a hospital bed. I had a lot of jobs before working her I know what certain things are.

Caesar wore a burgundy outfit similar to Halston but the only thing that was different was that he wore a tie and and his blazer was actually on. He was on the phone speaking their first language writing a couple of things down on the dresser. I looked around to see a couple of paints that look like it should be in a museum. I spotted Mr.Nikiforov sitting on the couch wearing a dark grey suit, his shirt was a white button up shirt tucked in and a grey vest over it. His blazer was on the arm of the couch laying there. He had watched on his left wrist and couple of accessories. Oh fancy- never mind his hair a mess. He looked up over at us since we grab his attention away from some folders and papers he was looking at. Caesar stop mid conversation and look over before going back to the other person on the end.

"You needed me for something?" I asked and Mr.Nikiforov and he nod pointing at his hair. A grown man don't know how to do his hair, theses pass couple of weeks it's been in a messy looking bun? Or ponytail I cant tell but you can clearly see he doesn't do his hair. Note to self I need to teach Makar how to do his own hair so this won't happen to him. I walk over and he hand me a comb and brush which I gladly took.

"How do you want it?" I asked as I started parting his hair combed it and brushing it out.

"Do whatever just make it nice." He said flipping through a couple of papers. I turn my head seeing Halston sitting on the bed twirling a cigarette in his hand while on his phone.

"How old are you?" I asked and Mr.Nikiforov movement paused for a moment.

"Why are you asking." He said and I responded simple.

"You're a grown man who doesn't know how to do hair." I said and he went back to doing whatever while I'm trying to brush his hair out which was coming out fluffy.

"Never had time to learn how." He comment and I nod my head knowing I'm not finna pushed that as a conversation.

"Surprised you letting me touch your hair, thought you didn't like me." I said being honest.

"Never said I didn't like you, nagging yes you have that mastered." He huff and smile a bit and I brushed his forehead causing him to jump a little.

"Oops I see how bout you stop moving." I said and hold still for a while.

"You did that on purpose." He mumbled and I said yep right after that. The silence was comfortable. "Is the food done?"

"Like sixty percent." I played in his hair a little bit while we started to have small talk.

"You don't need to help anymore since everything almost done." He said and I shrugged.

"I don't mind helping plus I'm hiding from your sister's. " I said smiling a little bit.

He huff and smile too. "Why?"

"I was supposed to be attending this event you throwing but I didn't pick out anything to wear and your sister's been pestering me to buy something this whole week and I honestly just not feeling it. I really don't go to events like this anyway. Crowed people makes me nervous. " I said and stopped playing in his hair and actually brushing it back to a slick ponytail.

"Should at least join us for dinner since you helped cooked." He said and I looked over to see a bit of moving in the other side of the room Halston and Caesar got up leaving having their own conversation. I turned my attention back on Mr.Nikiforov.

"I don't know, I feel under dress to sit at a table and eat." I said being honest checking for no fly always since I slick his hair in a ponytail. I set the brush and comb on the end table, he got up walking to his mirror and checking himself out. I grab his blazer and saw his tie underneath and grab that too.

"Well did you ate today?" He asked and I walk over handing him his tie as he took his time tieing it. Before taking the blazer out my hand and putting in on fixing his cuffs.

"Little snack here and there, I really don't be hungry if I'm being honest. " I said and he looked at me, I made eye contact back but slowly wondered down to his tie. I straightened it a bit more.

"Eat piggy." He patted my stomach and I plucked his forehead.

"Don't be an asshole please, we were just having a good enough conversation. " I rolled my eyes and he smirked.

"Again it's not an insult, if anything it's an inside joke between Makar and I." He admit.

"Oh is that so?" Little boy be slick in the mouth I see.

"For real Marya come eat better yet just attend, you look fine the way you are plus I can use you as an excuse why I can't talk to some people for long." He said and we shared a laugh.

"Oh so I'm the escape goat?" I joke and he nod his head to my question.

"Alright I guess it won't be that bad, I have to sneak your son some deserts anyway. I was his wishes after he had to be sent to his room." I said, I'm the best at my job honestly. We turned to the door, he looked at me and held his arm out a little making room for me to hooked my arm around it. I hesitated a little before I do so.

"Don't make it weird, I'm being gentlemen." He said and I laugh.

"Your forgot the word a, between your sentence." I said as we walked out his room and he smiled at me and said.

"Don't be an asshole."
