22 Chapter
Vlad
Why am I really so blue? It wasn’t my fault, and I need to calm down as soon as possible. Should I call Vova and let her know I’m here? Or should I wait until the end of the affair?
Then what should I do? I can not even think of. The apartment alone is boring. Should I get a girl? I had a couple of escort numbers, but I didn’t feel like having sex. I was thinking about Lina. From what Vova told me, I already liked her. And I would have been happy for him, if only this girl hadn’t been trying to get away with it. And she’s really testing him on his strength. She gave it to him once, then what? She’s playing hard to get? I don’t like insincere. Honestly, my opinion of this girl changes at the speed of sound, very often. I’m just doing him a favor.
I wish I could find someone I like. But no. No luck in that regard. There’s no way I’ll find someone who’ll be there no matter what. Everyone is deceitful and corrupt. Vova is sure that Lina Rostova is not like that. I don’t know if she is or not. There are too many contradictory facts.
I need a drink! These conversations with myself will soon lead me into a dead end from which I can find no way out. And it wouldn’t hurt to get something to eat first.
The refrigerator was empty, and the shelves were empty, too. Why didn’t I think of stopping at the store on the way home?
No, I have to go out for the day. After all, Vova will know that I flew in today. I just dial the number of my friend, who for some reason is in no hurry to answer.
Strange… What is he so busy or who?
But after a few minutes, he calls me back.
“Just tell me that you flew in and forgot to warn me about it?”
“Hello to you too, Vov.”
” I would have met you.”
” I know, it just happened. I didn’t want to take you away from important things.”
“Yes, but it’s evening and I’m completely free. And I’d like to get drunk, to be honest.”
“Why?”
“Lena confessed and told me to fuck off again. Can you believe it? Claimed she had a boyfriend she met on the Internet.”
“Vov, she’s screwing with you. She doesn’t have anyone.”
“I think so too. But I can’t understand why she’s acting like a little girl. I’m sick of it.”
” I think you’re having a good time. She’s a hard prey.”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
” I enjoyed fucking her, not running around like a boy begging for attention. I am her boss, after all!”
“So show her who you really are. You don’t scare her anymore! You do what you want to do. It seems to me she just doesn’t give a damn about you.”
“She does. She’s afraid of me.”
” Scared and respected are two different things. You know that as well as I do. You know where she lives, you know everything about her. Use that. I’m going to go to work tomorrow and I’m not going to let that girl sit on my head. She’ll be on my payroll, too.”
“Yeah. You’re right. Okay, I’ll be there in half an hour,” he growls into the phone, obviously digesting my words now.”
“I’m waiting for you. Please stop by the supermarket for more groceries. I’ll pay you back. There’s nothing in the fridge. And there’s nothing to eat at all, only alcohol.”
“Okay,” he agrees and hangs up.
