Lina
In his presence I felt like a little girl who was afraid of everything. I was scared of his eyes… So piercing and scalding. Till my knees trembled, which I automatically pulled up under me.
” Lina, eat.”This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .
“I’m not hungry,” I stubbornly said, but my body strongly disagreed. My stomach rumbled. As always, all at the wrong time!
” You can’t fool me, eat!” My boss didn’t ask for it anymore, he insisted.
Took one slice of pizza and took a bite, and he watched with amazement.
” Lina, tell me about yourself. Where you’re from, where you live, who.”
With whom,” but he never asked thest question. But I already guessed what he wanted to ask. Who am I sleeping with or…?
” How about some wine? ” He got up from the couch, and headed to the counter, on which there was a bottle and two sses.
” I don’t drink… ”
” Just a little, just a few sips?”
“Okay, dimir,” I agreed, and he poured our sses, we drank, and then… Then I rxed a little, apparently so affected by the alcohol, and began to tell him everything about my life.
After having listened to my almost fifteen minute story about my life he got a little bit sad. Of course he had got everything for nothing, unlike me. When I had to go to school for three years in a row wearing the same clothes and with a shabby bag… When I was bullied because my parents didn’t have the ability to give money for birthdays and school needs. I was very thin in 10th and 11th grade and weighed only 40 kg with a height of 168 centimeters. And all because all of my parents’ money went to the heart surgery for Kostik – my youngest and most beloved brother. Only for his sake I was ready to put up with all the humiliation and suffering. And in those moments when my peers were having fun in clubs, I was chewing the granite of science, to get to the budget. And my dream came true.
I got a schrship, cleaned up, recovered a little, and became the best student in my ss. I was always on the first-name basis with numbers, because I had a mathematical way of thinking. And also I took part in all student beauty contests and always won first ce. Beauty and intelligence – that’s the main weapon of every woman.
“And how old is your brother? “dimir asked. ”
He’s twenty years old. He’s studying auto assembly at uni and works part-time at an auto repair shop. In a word: crazy. Recently he saved some money and bought a motorcycle, a second hand one, but of a good make.
” I also have a Ducati Monster in my garage, a present from my favorite aunt for my 30th birthday.”
” What about your parents? ”
– I have parents, but they live in America, they are used to it. And I can’t. Especially Russia has the most beautiful girls in the world. And you are a direct confirmation of that.
I looked at the wall clock, the hand of which was already showing 22:00.
” I have to go, dimir.”
” I embarrassed you with my answer? But it’s true,” he brought his palm to my face, lightly touching my cheek with his fingertips. ”
“Not embarrassed, just. I really have to go,” I pulled away from him and rose sharply from the couch. I have to go before it’s toote!”
” Okay, okay, I’ll take you home.”
” No! I have a car! But it’s not my car, it’s the restaurant’s,” I blurted out. I wonder why I was so afraid of him. He’s not ugly, he’s very attractive, and he’s a very sexy man. Maybe because I haven’t had sex in seven months? Or maybe I just don’t want to turn our working rtionship into a one-time thing?
” Okay, okay. But can I at least walk you to the door and leave a tip?”
” That’s okay,” he handed me a few bills and opened the front door.
“See you tomorrow, dimir.”
“See you tomorrow, Lina Rostova. And please, don’t bete on your first day of work. All right?”
“I’m a punctual person.”
” Well, then we’ll definitely work together, see you tomorrow,” he repeated before I left his apartment. When I turned around, he was already inside, and only after that, I could breathe a sigh of relief.
Today had been full of surprises. I was so d it was over.
