Dimitri

I couldn't talk at the hospital, not because I didn't want the child, I was fucking overwhelmed with so many emotions at once, and plus I didn't want to say something that'll piss her off.

I had a child on the way
A fucking child
A whole person

And I can say I'm pretty excited and grateful that she decided to keep the child.
That meant a lot to me

We're making progress and I like it

"....and then we can tail him" her voice sound making me snap and look at her, she gives me a pointed look before breathing out

"Please tell me you've been listening to me the past minutes and I haven't been talking to myself" she grounds out and I just look at her, I haven't been listening

"God this is pointless, how are we even supposed to come up with a plan if you're like that, you've been like that all day and it's unnerving, what's wrong with you"? She asks taking a seat on the couch facing me

I kiss my teeth before breathing out "Don't ask because you don't want to talk about it" I mutter and I see her face scrunch up before she realizes what I mean

"Ah, you're thinking about that"? She says making a face, not a disgusted face, just a face that kind of makes me wanna laugh

"Yes I am thinking about that, that which you do not want to talk about" I tell her and she huffs before we both stay silent, the room becoming very quiet.

"It's not as if I don't wanna talk about it, it's just that I don't wanna talk about it now" she whispers not meeting my gaze

"How long do I have to wait for you before we can talk about it"? I mutter out asking her and she just sighs out

"I don't know Dimitri, as long it takes for it to stop hurting, I don't want to talk about it because it hurts, trust me I love this child but I can't just forget about what you did to me" she whispers out, I can tell she's really trying to keep her emotions in check

"It's fine, we won't talk about it until you're ready, and if you never feel ready then so be it, I won't push you" I tell her and she just nods

It's true, as much as I want to talk about it with her, I don't want to do anything that'll make her uncomfortable or sad, so I'll wait until she's ready to talk about it.

I heard her footfall before i saw her, she's been lounging around the house the whole of today, she showed up very early even though we don't really have any leads yet on Ivan's location.

I feel like she prefers staying here than at Enzo's mansion.
I've been going through the only lead we got since the last time and it isn't really much.

It's just the same abandoned warehouse, his men have been going there frequently and the last time Cora and I went there, it was a dead end.

So it's either there's something in that warehouse that we both missed, or there's a shady business going down there that only Enzo knows about

But that is none of my concern, the only reason I keep going through it is to see if I'll see anything that lead me to where he kept Ivan.

And Enzo is sly, he covers his track good.
So far nothing has come up
We're just chasing a cold trail.


"What you doing"? She asks propping her elbows on the table and peeking her head into the front of my laptop, covering my view with her dark hair.

I don't answer I just watch her turn the laptop to face her and I see her scrunch her nose up in distaste at what was on the screen.

She starts tapping making me cock my brows at her
She closes the previous tab and open another

"What are you doing"? I ask looking at her and she shrugs

"Looking for a movie for both of us to watch, you've been on this for hours, it's not helping and plus I'm bored" she says like it's a normal thing.
"You don't even have any movies here" she mutters

She works on the laptop for a while before her eyes lit up
"Aha, just what I'm looking for, a Disney movie" she almost squeals before taking the laptop and moving to the couch

I watch her as she comes back to the kitchen and starts dragging me with her

"I'm not watching that shit with you принцесса" I mutter out but I don't oppose to get dragging me

"It's called a movie, and yes you're watching it with me, live a little, I'm the one that was hidden for years and you're the one acting like a cave person" she mutters making me almost chuckle


She pulls me with her to the couch as we both sit down and she hold the laptop on her laps, scooting closer to me

I know she's just making sure I'm able to watch too, but I'm not really comfortable at how close we are, I can feel her body heat and her scent isn't even helping.


Her arms slightly brush with mine and I tense a bit before willing myself to relax, we're just watching a movie right.

I look at her to see if I'd see any traces of discomfort but she seems pretty fine at how close we are
I clear my throat before looking back at the movie.


I don't even know the title and I don't really want to know
I'm not concentrating on the movie but on the fact that she's so fucking close, Everytime she moves, her hands brush up mine, sending tingles through my whole body


The movie is one of those Disney princess movie, and soon enough they start singing and I see her mouth the words

She's so carefree and happy.
I look at her in awe, this is the first time I'm seeing her smile a genuine smile without Ivan being the reason for it

She turns to look at me and I'm mesmerised by her eyes.
They captivate the life of me

"What? Just because I've been hidden from the public for years doesn't mean I've been living under a cave, I watch movies okay" she mutters, before turning her focus back on the movie

She doesn't see the smile on my lips
"I didn't say anything принцесса" I mutter biting back the rest of the smile

If wishes were horses, I'd have wished for a lot of things right now, but unfortunately I don't think I have that chance now


_________________________________________


Okay we ended up watching more than just one Disney movie, it's like she was hit with some energetic stuff.

She made us watch a shit ton of them, and hours later, she's sleeping with her head on my shoulder and the credit of the last movie playing on my laptop.


I look out the window and I can tell it's dark, she has to go home, she can't sleep her, not with Enzo onto me like this.

I take the laptop and close it before holding her head and placing it on the couch head rest, looking at her, I'm tempted not to wake her and just watch her sleep but I can't.

She looks so peaceful, I move the strands of hair on her face and she squirms, muttering incoherent words.


"принцесса" I whisper shaking her gently, she shakes but doesn't move to get up and her eyes are still closed "принцесса you have to wake up, it's dark" I say shaking her again, and this time she actually opens her eyes slowly before her hazel orbs meet mine

She quickly looks around before setting her eyes back on me "what time is it"? She rasps out

"Pretty late, come on let me take you home" I tell her before standing up right


It takes her a while before she gets herself, picking up her jacket and phone, we both walk out the house and to my car.
