Living with Dimitri wasn't that hard as I imagined. He is rude no doubt in that, but he is concern at the same time. Which I never know how he does it?, I feel like asking him sometime then again I don't want to wake demon up. It's been a week since I moved in with him. He is anything but attentive towards every detail, no matters if its food craving or mood swings even he has offered to give me foot massage, Can you believe it? Me neither. But I got used to it, I have put on few pounds since the last time, my feet are still very much swollen, non of my shoes fit in anymore. Regular foot massage ease in the pain but discomfort is still there. Maribel does back massage sometimes help me bath, cause I can't get in and out without someone's help, which suck.
I have been to therapy, twice this week as well as in Lamaze, don't even get me started on Lamaze. Well, let's talk about my therapist, she is a fifty year old middle eastern women, Married for 30 years now moved here in states while she was in her mid twenties, met her husband here and settled for states. She is incredibly sweet lady, I fall in love with her instantly, She is everything I am not sweet, calm, beautiful, polite and many more. I love talking to her, infact we talk during night when I feel unease and can't sleep. She suggested few tip, tried few as well non of them are working and now she is pressuring me for the only tip I am not willing to try is to sleep with Dimitri.
It's an old saying that babies can feel everything you feel which everyone knows as they are inside you but they can also sense their father's presence and can crave for them as well. That is why babies instantly fell in love with their mother and father cause they have sense their presence and feel safe around them. As much as I believe in all mythical sayings, I won't be sleeping with him anytime soon. Lamaze classes are enough torture on me, every time he touches me or stand near me, my body becomes hot and temperature keeps getting high no matter how much I try to control. These pregnancy hormones are on revenge mode, I can feel it.
Diego is back, he lives on the second floor, floor above us. It's been fun with him, he helped me redecorate baby room, you all must be wondering which one is the baby room let me remind you the other door in my room was the connecting baby room, I am so glad it is connected. I wont have to rush across halls to reach for my baby. Val and Diego are going strong, She was back with Diego in states, explained me her emergency. Apparently, Dimitri is a Mafia king and he is most powerful in Russia we already know this but he was able to spreed his kingdom in states as well as in Italy, which is good for his Empire but again power comes with the prices, more enemies are rising and joining hands just to defeat Dimitri which again lead us in death threat, according to Val rivals are planning something against him which is directly connected to me and his child, what happen with Tedd made people believe we are the only one of his biggest weakness, He had been able to rule without hesitation and defeated everyone infront of him because he has nothing to loose but now he has, his heir, our son which isn't good.
Only reason my brothers and everyone else let me move in with him and forgave him for leaving me is death threat upon us. He wanted people to think that he doesn't care enough about us and they will leave us alone might their was only slight chances in this situation but again what happen in custom event proved them right and his attempt to steal attention from us drained deep. All of the sudden, the change of my place, appointing all therapies at home except for the Lamaze classes, I dont leave this house alone at all because of my safety. I want to worry more about this situation but again what will be the use?, you know I am pregnant, Cant fight anyone and by worrying I will make my baby weak which I don't want. I have my two bodyguard to protect me and my baby. I feel like I am safe but there's been constant nagging in the back of my head.
'Good morning, I believe you again didn't sleep well?' Ask Dimitri from door way. 'Morning, yeah sleep and me aren't getting along lately.' I gave him a smile. 'I can see that, but you don't need to worry about anything, we are ready to retaliate, want waffles for breakfast?' He ask. ' Sure, and can you call Maribel?, I need bath to relax myself.' I told him. 'Of course, but she fled to Italy this morning, Camilla is dropping her brother to school and I wont allow Diego to help you get bath. So, I guess you will have to settle for shower. you can have late noon bath if you want?.' He suggested. 'No, I want now, otherwise I will be grumpy all day.' I told him. 'Well you are always grumpy , it doesn't make any difference anyway.' He chuckle. 'Not funny, its your boy turning me into a monster.' I squeal. 'Fine fine, whatever you say, not want to face your wrath this early. I can help you, if you don't mind.' he shrugged. 'Hey I mind, I don't want you to see me naked' I said 'Trust me, there is nothing in their, I haven't seen already.' He smirk. 'You are such a pig' I narrowed my eyes. 'Stating the obvious, do you want bath or not? I have a meeting in an hour.' he said. I nodded in response.
He went to the bathroom and started the water, I strip down my clothes and put my silk robe on and entered bathroom. Bathtub was almost fill with bubbles.
'Here, water is ready, I have added sea salt, with jasmine oil, brought your body wash and washcloth and towels as well.' he pointed everything at the corner of the tub stand and turn around so that I can get in. He offered his hand for me to take it. I took it and get in the tub, he closed his eyes and turn slowly just to let me settle in. Once under the water, he opened his eyes emotions filled in them, I have never seem so many emotion at once in them, care, adoration, concern, lust and love. Then again he blink them away and everything puffed in thin air.
'I will be back in 20 mins? will that be fine?' he ask me blending down a little. 'Make it 30 then will be fine' I winked him, he blend some more our eyes locked in to each others, his grey eyes captivated me, he then looked on my lips, I can feel heat flushing on my cheeks, bet you they are red as tomato. He smile and my gaze shifted to his lips they are so pink and will feel soft against mine, What? where did that came from?. I looked at his eyes again they were already staring back at me. He lean in further our cheek brush together and then he whispered in my ears.
' I love to make you blush, red suits you more. Glad to know I have this effect on you, wanted to keep it this way.' he whispered and moved away planted a deep kiss on my temple inhaling my hairs and rubbing his thumb on my left cheek. He stood up and left before turning around for final glance, smiled and left.
What just happened here? did he? Did I? NOOOOO... this can't be happening, it's not good, Or was it?, It feel different , good different though. Am I falling for him? or these hormones effecting my brain?, Am I going crazy?. No Ronie you can't do this to yourself he left us twice, you can't let him do that to you again. But he came back both times especially when I needed him and he is here helping us, protecting us, taking care of us, do I mean anything to him? or he is just doing this cause I am having his baby? I was deep in my thought when Dimitri voice broke my trances of thoughts.
'Am I interrupting anything?' Dimitri peek from bathroom door. 'Ummm, No what do you want?' I ask softly. 'Your 30 mins are done, I am standing here for 5 mins you haven't move only blinked couple of times. So, I will ask again You alright?' he said walking inside bathroom. Oh god I was zone out for that long no man. 'Water is cold, I don't think its good for you or baby, come on let's get you dry.' He said again. 'Yeah, Hand my towel first,' I said raising my hand, I dont want to embarrass myself any further. 'You know, I was thinking, maybe you wanna go out for a walk? like in a park or something?, I will be home by noon.' He hesitated. 'Diego told me about little trip you guys have everybody. I want you to go with me today, if you want,' He completed. 'Okay, sounds like a plan but what happened to Diego?' I ask while drying myself. 'Nothing, I just want us to spend together like family we suppose to be.' he said. 'Look, I don't want to be rude something, but we are no family you lost that title when you left us, no matter any reason. We will go to park as co-parents nothing more or less.' I said an walk way to be closet go get dressed.
What does he think everything will be alright just because he is been nice to me for one week? No, Never. We are no family. But you like it the way he looks at you or touch you and make you blush, Why are yo denying these fact. Don't be stubborn, give him a chance. Your baby needs a proper family just like you had. Don't do this to your baby just because you don't want to think about your baby. I am thinking about my baby, we can't trust him, who know he will leave again and I don't feel anything just shut up you stupid brain. After finishing inner debate, I got dressed and walk out of my room and headed towards dinning room. Dimitri was no where to be found, I guessed he is mad again. Camilla came in and served me my breakfast and said.
'Mr. Averin left for his meeting, he was getting late. He told me to inform you this and remind you to be ready till noon. Alex and Cole will take you to the park and he will meet you there.' she said. 'Okay, thanks Cami, Have you seen Diego? I ask. 'He left with Mr. Averin, you do you anything else Ronie?' She ask. I shook my head in No. then she left somewhere in the house.
I was looking out the window, when Cole one of my bodyguard broke silence. 'How are you feeling Ms. Petrov? He ask. 'I have been better and What have I told you about calling me Ms. Petrov?' I ask. He is in his mid forties, really heavy built more like hulk built. He has been working for Dimitri for more than 20 years now. He was Dimitri's father bodyguard when he died Cole became Dimitri's bodyguard but again Dimitri can protect himself, and Cole is one of his most trusted and skilled man. So Dimitri made him guard me 24x7 with Alex his younger brother. 'Sorry Ronie, it's just out of habit.' he apologies. 'It's okay Cole, but please call me Ronie, I don't like you calling me Ms. Petrov.' I stated and he nodded with a tight smile. After fw more min of drive.
'We are here Ronie.' announced Alex and open my door for me giving me his hand to help me out from my seat. I took his hand and thank him.
Dimitri was leaning against his car in front of entrance. When he saw us approach she straighten a bit nodded to Cole and Alex gave Alex his car keys to park in vacant space.
'How are you feeling?' Dimitri ask me and placed a kiss on my temple, which shocked me Still I manage to respond him. 'I am okay. How was your meeting?' I tried to continue the conversation. 'Not good but there is nothing I can't handle.' He smile at me and took my hand in his while we were walking on the sidewalk in the park. 'Does thing meeting has anything to do about the situations you and all are dealing with?' I ask out of frustration, No one really tells me what is going on every time I ask anything they say their is a situation, we had a situation, we will deal with situation and I am getting tired of this now only piece of info I have was provided by Val because she didn't know tat they are keeping me in dark and after Diego told her, she refuse to tell me anything. 'Yeah kind off, why you ask? It's none of your concern you know, I can handle it.' He remarked 'I know I know, no one tells me anything anyway.' I huffed. 'Hey don't get mad, we are doing everything just protect you any your baby.' h said concerned. 'Really, care to explain how I am protected when I don't know a s**t? How will I acknowledge the danger I am in? how does all this make sense to you? cause it make no sense to me.' I said. 'You will be safe, if you will be away from this mess.' He said. 'I was away from you and this mess and end up in warehouse, have you forgotten that? you know I can shoot and fight, maybe I can't fight now just because I am pregnant and haven't practice in ages. I will be more careful If I will me aware of the danger I am in.' I said.
'Okay, maybe I will tell you, whatever you want to know, but What will get get in return.' he ask grinning. 'First of all that was unexpected, second of all what do you want?' I replied. 'Let say, will you go on a date with me? He blurt out. Shock was understatement. I stopped on my track. 'I will think about it.' I said. 'And one more thing' he said 'Shoot' was my reply. 'Let's try that get to know each other think one more time? What do you say?' he said. ' Seems like a good idea, How about 20 questions?, but we can ask as much as question we want, deal? I replied rubbing my hands excitedly. 'Deal' was his only reply.
We walk for some more and settle in a chair. Let's see, how this get to know each other urn up to.
