Alina turned and saw two people in front of her: a tall and attractive brunette, and a beautiful companion of a man, similar to him in a related way, only much younger. The girl was young, good-looking, and very much like her companion.But the man was familiar to her, she remembered him well. And she even remembered the moment they met, his eyes were very beautiful, blue and deep, like the ocean, and his smile was so charming."Yes. Good. And from this smile you just want to smile back.Alina smiled slightly and answered the man:Nikita, nice to see you. Have you decided to go to the premiere? Oh, I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with your companion, - Alina nodded to the young girl with a smile and looked inquiringly at Nikita.- Alina, let me introduce you to my sister, Olga Saburova, I told you about her. As you can see, your help in choosing was invaluable. Olga just fell in love with my gift, even picked up a dress for it for an hour, - and Nikita laughed, looking slyly at his younge
Olga came to visit the Astakhovs in a couple of days. Her brother brought her, as they agreed. Nikita really wanted to see Alina again. In addition, as an older brother, he felt responsible to his beloved younger sister, because Olga came to the capital, and there was a sea of temptations for a young provincial girl. Moreover, she was a passionate nature, which was often characteristic of creative people.Alina stood at the window in her room, attracted by the noise near the house, and watched Olga and Nikita Saburovs walk towards their house. And alone with herself, she could honestly admit that Nikita worried her. All, the way he was, she liked everything about him. And his appearance, as if made for her eyes, his voice, smile, even the way he spoke, worried her. A dark-haired, blue-eyed god made for her. Alina could calmly admit to herself these thoughts and her desires alone.She stroked her stomach and thought that for a deeply pregnant woman, her thoughts were already very f
A couple of days later, the law office "Syazhkov and K"For the second day in the evening, Valentina sees a girl that comes and asks to write her down to Vladimir Sergeevich Styazhkov. She did not need a consultation, or other legal services, she needed exactly Vladimir Sergeevich. Valentina understood that the girl obviously did not want to advertise her presence in the office too much. She came in the evening, when there were already fewer people and the employees were not so attentive. In addition, she covered her head with a scarf, and she was dressed like a gray mouse.However, her behavior did not match her appearance at all. The girl had character, she suppressed her will, and Valentina noticed that she was almost ready to call her boss and persuade her to come to the meeting. Being nearby, the girl suppressed: with her character, her strength, her words. Valentina even thought that she was not a man, but a werewolf.But the behavior and appearance said otherwise. The girl look
At the beginning of autumn, Alina passed the first step of an apprentice. Her master insisted on a short break so that Alina could give birth calmly, since in her position it was already difficult for her to sit for hours at the machine or tools, polishing her skills. Alina even managed to start working on the sketches of the collection, which she planned to make in the future for passing the apprenticeship. These were still sketches, details.Part of the time she was occupied with meetings with Nikita, since he courted so far unobtrusively, unhurriedly and very gallantly. Sometimes she noticed that he sniffed her, as if he wanted to understand her scent. But Alina was sure that before the birth of her daughter, he would not succeed. She skillfully disguised the smell of Alina, covering her own.The new relative, if one could call her that, did not cause any concern to their close-knit family. Alina would not have understood anything if not for Dasha. She rolled her eyes in such surpr
But she didn't go home right away. And why should she do it in such and such a state, she will only disturb all her household. No, she will go where she can calm down and improve her mood. And Alina went to the center, stroll through the shops and think about everything she heard, go to the pastry shop and eat the most delicious dessert. She had a wonderful couple of hours calming down and thinking about the whole situation. And already in a different state went home.But at home she was met by a small scandal, and her mother and Dasha were his spectators. It turns out that Vladimir Styazhkov, and he asked to be called by name, given their current relationship, had already come to talk to them, as Alina had asked and, while waiting for her, decided to talk with her daughter.And now Alina, and the rest of her family, listened to the conversation in raised tones, coming from the second floor. The main party was led by Katerina, sometimes just screaming indignantly, obviously not findin
Most of all, Alina was upset by the inability to calmly communicate with Nikita. Vladimir asked that no one be invited to visit them until Katerina's departure. And given that the Styazhkov family has not yet come to a consensus on the place of study, Alina realized that she might not have the opportunity to talk calmly at home before leaving. Katerina was a girl with character and was clearly not going to agree to her father's persuasion.Alina admired her fortitude, determination and inner fire. It was from Katerina that she could understand who the werewolf girls were. She was a little annoyed by the inability to invite friends, but living with Katerina was definitely not boring. The younger one generally admired the strength of her character, and had already begun to take an example, repeating Katerina's statements. But Mom quickly put her in her place, clearly explaining the difference in their position.Katerina lived in a guest room next to Dasha's room. And sometimes she ran t
Katerina left the next day. Vladimir was somewhat gloomy when he arrived for his daughter, to Alina's question about his tired appearance, he answered that everything was going well, just a lot of work due to some circumstances in the Council and unrest among the clans of the capital. He did not specify the details, and Alina, frankly, it was not so important.Dasha saw off her new girlfriend, and was seriously upset, because it was impossible to write or call her. Alina suggested that she unwind and invite Olga Saburova for the upcoming weekend.“Exactly,” she replied, “it’s already possible. I'll just show her my new project. Would mom mind? What are your plans, will you be at home?Dasha remembered that Alina was busy collecting things for the trip and asked, embarrassed:- Are you going to meet Nikita? He, probably, will want to bring Olga to us? What should I tell her?- Don't say anything, I'll call Nikita myself.She understood her words in her own way, Alina didn’t know how, a
Alina will surely remember the moment of parting with her family for a long time. Mom sobbed, and Dasha did not lag behind her, after all, they became a real family for her. Alina herself did not lag behind them. If not for Vladimir, the family would not have let her down, since at the last moment her mother simply refused to let her go to another country.But now the farewell is left behind, Alina met Anton Pavlovich, a friend of Vladimir, a traveler and a bachelor in life, as her new acquaintance called himself. It was incredibly comfortable with him, although Alina saw that he treated her so well only due to a good recommendation from Vladimir. Anton Pavlovich looked about fifty years old, but he was in very good physical shape, and, most likely, was older.The trip promised to last a week, so Alina was glad to have a good conversationalist, given that Anton Pavlovich invited her to sit in the passenger seat next to her at any time. The motorhome was very comfortable, it was clear
