I sat across from Cynthia, I tried so hard not to stare at her so I kept my self distracted by talking to Nikolai.

Our fathers are having a business meeting after this dinner, about what? I have no idea. Cynthia sat next to her mom who looked tired.

But she still had a small smile on her face. She's a brave woman, I know where Cynthia got that from. I eat my food but accidentally make eye contact with Cynthia.

She glares at me making me smile, I love her glares she looks adorable. "Thank you for having us, I hope my kids aren't so much of a bother." I smile and look at dad who narrowed his eyes on me.

"Oh they're the best, you guys are welcomed here anytime." Grace speaks up and her husband agrees with her. I'm an angel.

"Yes I noticed Cynthia is a lot cheerful these days, lord knows she needs to get rid of her brooding." Cynthia scoffs as I laugh.

"Well I'm glad to hear my sons are not giving any trouble. Yet." Dimitri smiles as he sips his drink, making me smile a little. Dinner went on good and I wondered if this is what it felt like to have a big family.

All my uncles and aunts are back in Russia, no family relatives from my deceased mother try being in contact. I stare at Cynthia and her mother talking to each other, the loving look of adoration never leaving grace's face as she looks at Cynthia.

A feeling of longing washed over me. I wonder how it feels, to have a mother who loves me unconditionally. My father is enough but still that thought comes and goes once in a while.

After our parents went upstairs to discuss business I helped gather the dishes and walked to the kitchen. "What are you doing?" I look at Cynthia who's next to me with more plates. "Washing the dishes?" She scrunched up her brows in confusion.

"But you're a guest, how about I wash and you dry." I shook my head and took the plates from her. She stood next to me as she dried them while Dimitri and Nikolai watch us from the kitchen island.

"School was boring with out you guys." She spoke breaking the peaceful silence. "Aww you missed me red?" Dimitri taunted at her making her roll her eyes.

"If I'm being honest, yes I missed You guys bothering me in class." Dimitri smiles and looks at Nikolai who's staring at Cynthia. I'm this close from gauging his eyes out.

"You have a boyfriend?" Nikolai speaks up making Cynthia pause, what the fuck is he saying?

"No why?" She looks up at me and i shrug my shoulders. "Then can I take you out." Dimitri chokes on his water and Cynthia's jaw drops.

"no thanks."

"You won't take her anywhere."

Everyone stays quiet at what I said. "Why not?" Nikolai is smiling And this little shit is three seconds away from getting his eyes gauged out and tongue chopped off.
