Chapter 13 - Venice
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56There was a knock at the door. I rolled over to wake Sasha to bully him into answering the door, but of course he was gone. I grumpily pulled on last night’s jeans and answered the door. Marshall looked momentarily startled at my sleepy appearance but regained his composure quickly.
‘I’m really sorry to bother you’

Malyshka Chapter 14 - Croatia
I was really looking forward to Croatia, our accommodation was in a hotel on a resort along the Adriatic sea. I longed to just sit and relax on the beach with no plans for a few days. When we got to our room, Sasha and I discovered that Dmitry had the same room as us. We returned to the lobby to talk to Isabella about it and she informed us that one of the girls had dropped out of the tour and that a room with a female had opened up for me. She handed me the key to my room which was in a different block from Sasha’s altogether. Shocked and confused, Sasha went over to talk to Lyosha about it, but as luck would have it, no other accommodation was available at the moment. Dmitry offered for me to stay with them, but I politely declined and headed to my own room.

I heard Sasha and Dmitry whispering early in the morning. They both looked at me surprised when I announced I would be going with them for their run. I ran over to my room to get dressed and met up with Misha who had stayed behind to wait for me.‘You don’t have to stay with me Misha’
Malyshka Chapter 16 - Munich, Germany
Sasha sheepishly admitted that he wasn’t going to be around while in Germany as Dmitry, Misha and him had gotten tickets to a 4 days metal concert and were only going to meet up with us in Berlin. He apologized profusely for the lack of foresight in getting an extra ticket for me. I was disappointed he wasn’t going to be around for a few days, but I seriously doubted I would feel comfortable in the middle of a metal mosh pit. I thanked him for his concern but assured him I would still have a good time with my new friends.‘I’ll see you in a few days, Malyshka,’ he said kissing me. ‘Please be good and try not to attract too much trouble’. He said with a lopsided grin. Dmitry called out to him and with a last hug, Sasha made his way over to his friends. He waved at me from the car as an

‘Urgh,’ I groaned as all of our alarms went off, ‘I need to stop drinking so much’. My stomach churned and a wave of nausea hit me. I closed my eyes for a second and the nausea passed. We packed our things for the bus ride to Prague, just what I needed, another bus ride while I was feeling like crap. Darcie and Ruth were packed first and made their way to the bus leaving Julie and I alone.‘Aves’ she started grabbing my attention, ‘what happened with Marshall last night’. I frowned
Malyshka Chapter 18 - Berlin, Germany
I was excited to be going to Berlin to see Sasha again. He had not replied to a single one of my texts since he left and I was a little annoyed with him.During the 4 hour drive on the coach, Marshall announced that he had secured us a spot at one of Berlin’s most prestigious clubs. I was rooming with Ruth again and as soon as we ditched our bags, the four of us hit the boutiques in search of the perfect club attire. I admit I had spent a lot more than I normally would but I had this desire to impress Sasha whom I missed very much.
Malyshka Chapter 19
Ruth hadn't come back. I was worried about my friend, but I was sure Marshall and Isabella would have made sure we all made it back safe and sound. I ordered breakfast through room service, then took a quick shower. I was in desperate need of finding a laundromat. I sniffed my clothes and decided on a long skirt and white t-shirt. I didn't have clean underwear so went without. At 10, I made my way down to the lobby for the tour I had signed up for.

Sasha POVI was ecstatic that Avery accepted my apology and opened up to me. I’m even more ecstatic that she was lying in my arms right then. I had bared my deepest fears to her in hopes that she would understand why I acted the way I did. I could tell my actions had hurt her and I hated myself for it. I resolved then to keep a lid on my jealousy. I knew it would prove to be hard because Avery attracted all sorts of attention from everyone that met her. At first glance I have to admit she only slightly interested me, but everyday someone mentioned her name and my interest in
Malyshka Chapter 21 - Copenhagen, Denmark
We arrived in Copenhagen really early in the morning after an overnight coach ride. I was really hating having to travel overnight because I could barely sleep. Sasha didn’t have a problem sleeping but now I suspected it had to do with travelling for hockey. Luckily we were able to check in as soon as we arrived. Sasha had asked Lyosha to room us together and his friend had done right by him. As soon as we dropped off our bags I plopped down onto the bed, closing my eyes while Sasha was in the bathroom. I hadn’t planned on falling asleep, but the drive there had completely drained me.

Sasha's POVAvery moved close to me and discarded my vest, I had long ago discarded my jacket and tie and undid the top few buttons of my shirt. She slowly undid the rest of the buttons on my shirt and ran an open palm across my chest. I was having an out of body moment, I couldn’t believe this wasmywife. This was the woman I had married and she was going to be with me forever. She undid my belt and the clasp that held my pants up. As soon as she let go of them, the pants fell to the ground, pooling at my feet. She smiled as she looked at my new underwear. She wasn’t the only one who could splurge on fancy underthings.‘Damn Kuzco’ she exclaimed, using the nickname my teammates had graced me with, ‘Versace?’ she questioned arching an eyebrow up, a grin stretching across her gorgeous face. She put her index finger under the distinctive band and ran it back and forth against my pelvis.

At 4h30 a stretched SUV picked us up from Sam's to bring us to my wedding. My heart sped up in excitement at seeing my groom and of having all the attention drawn to us. Kate did a few little touch ups as we entered the hall and the music promptly began playing at 5pm. I smiled as an instrumental version of Heart’s Alone began to play. Grace and Carter walked to the front of the room followed by Shae and Sam, Dmitry, Kate and Katya. It was finally my turn to walk down the aisle. As soon as I walked into the warm cozy room everyone stood up. I felt myself blush at all the attention I was getting but once I met Sasha’s eyes everything around me faded away. His piercing gaze took me in and he quickly wiped his eyes. I tried to keep my own tears at bay taking jagged sobbing breaths as I joined him up at the makeshift altar, his tears now freely running down his cheeks faster than he could wipe them away. Dmitry handed him a handkerchief as people laughed slightly a

On the 26th Celina invited Sasha and I to the venue to approve of the decoration at the hall we had booked. Sasha and I gasped in shock as we walked into our wedding reception.The floor to ceiling windows looked out into a valley of snow covered evergreens, the walls and ceiling were all finished in rustic wood. A large glass chandelier hung in the center of the cathedral ceiling, emitting a soft golden glow in the room. On the far wall a large stone fireplace sat majestically where I imagined we would have a roaring fire the next day. The table of honour was set up proudly on a platform at the right of the fireplace while all the other tables were to the left of it. Directly in front of the fireplace was an empty area which would become a dance floor later on in the evening. More tables were set up further away from the fireplace meant for food and drinks.The chairs were covered with a forest green material, while the tables were covere

I spent the week jotting down notes and reviewing more of Anna’s recommendations. Sasha and I had narrowed down a few venues and a wedding planner but he insisted on being completely responsible for the DJ. We sent our choices to Anna who booked everything we had agreed on and footed the bill.The next weekend Sasha and I worked on our guest list to get a better idea of which venue to choose. We both decided to have a small intimate wedding since we had both enjoyed the intimacy of Dmitry and Kate’s wedding and the fact that they were able to enjoy their day too.‘Do you want to invite everyone in your family?’ I asked ‘Aunts, uncles, cousins’ I enumerated.‘My parents and brothers and my uncle Igor and his family in Michigan’ he said.‘That’s it?’ I asked stunned,‘I only have one uncle,’ Sasha said, shrugging.

Baby, husband, house and businesses aside, fourth year was a tough one for Kate and I as we delved into critical care nursing. We had a jam packed schedule with hardly a moment to take a breath. I skipped running with Sasha more often than I should and we hardly saw each other as his hockey practices became more serious and frequent. Sasha planned on making his last year in the AHL a good one, one where he could finally bring home the Calder cup. However, something in his tone hinted at the KHL and maybe another season at the AHL. I made it clear that I supported him no matter what decision he made, even if it meant going to Russia for a few years.I did not take many shifts at the restaurant as I tried to keep my head above water with homework, clinicals and housekeeping. I didn’t want to make Sasha feel like he was unimportant either, so I tried to go to as many of his games as I could without hindering my university performance. I still relied on

Third year nursing meant that we were doing clinicals in acute settings in the hospital. I was particularly fond of the surgical and maternity units. Kate however did not enjoy her maternity rotation, seeing all the things her body was about to go through freaked her out a little. It didn't help that her first maternity patient had a 3rd degree perineum tear and her second one had to have an emergency C-section with hysterectomy as her uterus had ruptured beyond repair. Despite being terrified of giving birth, her pregnancy was textbook perfect. She was only gaining baby weight, her blood pressure and sugars were normal and she didn’t experience any morning sickness. A lot of it probably had to do with her and Dmitry’s regimen of working out and healthy eating.The year wrapped up nicely as did Sasha’s season. Though they didn’t make it to the finals again that year, he had been bearable throughout the playoffs.In

Dmitry POVEven though the team didn’t make it to the finals, I was offered the head trainer position on a 2 year contract. I accepted without second thoughts. My dream was not to be a hockey trainer, but a boxing and MMA trainer. I wanted to open up a gym here and the head trainer position would help me get there. Two years was plenty of time for me to get a decent sum of money and get my dream on track.I was able to get a decent sign on bonus to put a down deposit on a house a few streets away from Sasha and Avery’s before the end of the summer. It didn't take me long to ask Kate to move in with me. She was a perfect little girlfriend, my little princess, and I wanted to see her everyday despite our hectic schedule. Her and Avery were about to start on their third year of nursing and I figured it would be just as advantageous for them to live close together as it was for Sasha and I to be within walking distance of each othe

Sam never asked why I was staying at his place, but he let me stay there nonetheless. He and Janice had just returned from a trip to Costa Rica. They had been seeing each other since she took the job at the diner. They were an odd couple to say the least. Janice was always so happy and easy going whereas Sam had always been the eternal bachelor in my mind. They lived separately, but Sam was often staying the night at Janice’s. He came back to do some work and enjoy his alone time. I worked closely with Janice at the diner to oversee all the changes she had made and I was impressed with her level of dedication to the place.‘Are you going to Sasha’s game Friday?’ Sam asked when I got to his place a few days later.‘Yes, I always go to his home games’ I answered.‘It’s just he dropped off tickets earlier for Peter, Jamie and I, but not for you’ he said with a raised brow.‘Oh… that’s w

We were finally in the exam period, and Sasha's team had made it to the playoffs. The tension at home was palpable, it was Sasha vs. everyone and we were all on edge. Dmitry and I did our best to stay out of Sasha’s way, but unlike me, Dmitry was quick to put Sasha in his place when he took out his frustration on either one of us. Sasha was short tempered, irritable and exhausted. He did not do well with stress, that much was obvious. He was never aggressive on purpose but he did not hold back what he was thinking. The exam period spanned over two weeks. My first exam was scheduled the day after Sasha’s first playoff game. I wanted to be supportive of his career so I made sure to attend his home games. I knew they were his most important games. I spent the week leading up to them studying so that I could attend the night before. I sat with my brothers and cheered on with them as his team won the first game of the quarter finals. Sasha wa
