Nanny Dearest

Chapter Forty Six Mood?

"Do you think I'm acting a bit differently?" I asked Victoria who stop cutting the cheddar cheese starring in space blinking a couple of times then turn her head towards me.

"I don't think so, I think you gotten more comfortable though," she said and I nod my head turning the page of the newspaper that was covered in coupons for the grocery store. I picked up the scissors and started to cut one out carefully.

"Yeah but like is that a bad thing?" I asked looking back at her watching her dump the cut up cheese in the big bowl.

"No? Well probably me because I'm biased but even if I don't look at it that way it doesn't change my answer, you were quiet when I first met you." She smiles at me and I gave her one in Return. "Now you show personality, plus you like the mother I never had." Victoria smile batting her her eyelashes.

"I have thought Katia would be the mom." I tease placing the cut coupon on the counter and start on the other one.

"Katia a strict ass granny with her old aaaaaaaaaaaHI." Victoria's sentences change a bit and I look up seeing Katia with a wooden spoon with her hands on her hip staring hard at Victoria.

"You calling old ass?" She asked pointing the wooden spoon at Victoria who was laughing and she ran behind me as I went back to cutting the coupons.

"Wasn't calling you old I said young right Marya?" Victoria asked me and I hummed continue being busy cutting the coupons.

"Mhm finish cooking the baked macaroni." Katia walk over to the bowl of dice cheddar and bang the spoon against it.

"If I'm being honest that's too much effort." Victoria whine complaining and I looked back at her.

"Could have sworn I gave you a basic recipe," I told her and plus you really can't mess up bake macaroni. "It's not rocket science Vicky you can put two and two together." I close the newspaper and set the scissors down.

"Milk before or after the cheddar cheese?" She asked, Katia and I stare at the young girl with pitty I shake my head as Katia swore in her language, I'm starting to pick a little Russian here and there. Katia mostly wanted to teach me quote on quote bad words and slang which I don't plan on using. I just want to understand in case someone calls me out my name and by someone usually its Halston. Speaking of him I should give Lyanna a call, later on, to see how Halston doing.

"How did you get hired?" I asked out of curiosity since cooking is not her specialty.

"She technically doesn't have to work here since she is dating an employee." Katia said making her way to the counter looking at the set up Victoria had, she took a noodle from out the strainer that was in one of the big white bowls. Tasting the noodle her expression showed disappointment and she bang the spoon on the bowl. "Noodles not even done." Katia started to complain as I shook my head face palming and I heard Victoria laugh nervously.

"Well Marya said put the noddles in the water." Victoria mover from behind me leaning against the counter while I rubbed my forehead.

"Told you to put the noodles in when the water is boiled but alright Vicky." I said and she looked at me lost.

"With what." She asked and I looked at Katia who stared at Victoria then me shaking her head. "What I do?" Victoria asked and I looked at her putting my hand on her shoulder.

"It's okay baby your not the sharpest crayon." I said and she put her hand over her heart looking offended causing me to laugh before we all shared one but got interrupted seeing Ruslan leaning on the wall tilting his head rocking a smirk. I smile walking over giving him a kiss.
