-Simon Sinek-
***
What had just happened?
Damian was speechless, he had never seen a lady looking like her did something like that before. He had to admit it got his heartbeat pacened up a bit when he saw her badass fighting style. There was a strange chemical reaction in his stomach, one he did not quite comprehend just yet.
"What a bunch of animals!" she cursed as she hit his neck. Unlike Damian who tried to avoid the vital spots, she did not even hesitate or flinch when she smashed their face to the ground. The woman was pissed, her eyes were gleaming with fire, she stood up and kicked each and every one of them in the groin. Right where it hurt the most.
Damian was not even the one being hurt but he could already tell right away how much pain the poor man was going through right then. Well, he guessed he should have thougt twice before messing with her. But at the same time, appearance could be deceiving, he himself never thought an innocent, fragile looking woman like her could be such a beautiful fighting machine.
Once she was satisfied enough, she stopped on her own and turned around, but quickly changed her mind and turned around again to give him one last kick on the stomach, one that would definitely make quite an impact. He better prayed for his own health after that.
She straightened her clothes and placed her bag back in her shoulder, for a soft looking beauty like her, she sure had a lot of passion. For the first time he was able to take a perfect look at her appearance. The woman was beautiful, she had slightly round, youthful face with a line visible on her cheek whenever she smiled. Her straight but voluminous auburn hair fell down on her chest, creating a nice contrast against her pale and warm skin. Her eyes were a dark shade of green, almost emerald like, they were hypnotizing in the most subtle way possible. Tiny freckles were visible across her nose, but they were not too prominent.
Facial wise, she was a mix of cute and stunning, youthful and grown. Very appealing to the eyes.
Figure wise, She was around 5'5" at most, and seemed to weigh around 130 pounds. What intrigued him about her (although he would never admit it) was the fierce air she possessed behind her seemingly innocent and sweet look. No one would have suspect she could be so intimidating with that baby face of hers. Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, but better.
What a rare combination
After she was fully satisfied, this time for good, her expression suddenly changed into a soft sweet smile when she approached Damian. From up close, she looked even better, though he would not say she was exactly his type, as he preferred more mature looking women, he had to admit that she was quite charming.
"Thank you for helping me." She said in fluent, slightly accented English. She held out her hand to him but before he could take it, a sound of police siren was heard in the air, they both did not want to deal with the police so they decided it would be best to leave. On the way back to his place, there was a brief moment of silence between the two of them until she decided to break the silence.
"My name is Lana, what is yours?"
"I'm Damian, Damian Heart."
Damian had never fancied talking to strangers, though he had to sometimes during his travel, but when his conversation partner was a woman like her, he became even more silent and tried to maintain his distance. For an odd reason, she made him feel slightly uncomfortable. He did not know what it was about her that slightly frightened him. She had shown nothing but kindness yet he felt like he could not fully trust her.
Beautiful women are troublesome
He thought after that she would just thank him and left, or something to break their conversation, instead, she asked more questions to keep the conversation going.
"What are you doing here in Moscow? From your accent I can tell you're an American."
"I'm just travelling to see what the city has to offer." he tried to maintain his tone as normal as possible, but in his head he really wanted to get rid of her presence around him, hence the coldness in his voice, but she was oblivious to it by asking another question.
"What you did back then was amazing, you are a great fighter, when did you learn how to fight?" She kept on piling questions after questions for him, as if she was curious to know him and it made him even more bothered. He thought she was extremely nosy and he could not wait to part ways with her, therefore, once he spotted his apartment, he was excited to get inside and continued his day as if nothing had happened.
"We've arrived at my place, I need to get in right now." he carefully dismissed her, hoping to never see her again. Instead, she walked passed him before turning around in a slow motion, flipping her back sassily with a sarcastic smile.
"Oh, that's cute. I also live here." She chuckled as she stepped inside the building leaving him dumbfounded, what sin did he commit to be in the same apartment as she was?
He followed her from behind and they stepped into the elevator, while his finger was about to click on his floor, he found that she was going on the exact same floor as he was. He thought it could not get worse, but another coincidence occurred within a minute because they turned out to be next door neighbors for the next week. What trick did the universe tried to pull on him? Well, it was not as if he was going to spend a lot of time with her anyway.
Oh, Was he?

"Good manners do more for a man than good looks." -E.W. Howe- *** Damian was seated in a study chair in the living room writing down some notes of his activities for the next day. Everything was planned. We would spend his entire day exploring the Red Square, just to see if it was really as fascinating as people claimed it to be, everything was listed in a rough outline but he had a pretty good picture of what his day would be. After that, he went to the kitchen to make some dinner. The menu for the day was steamed vegetables with boiled chicken with a little bit of chili sauce. Not the most flavorful dish, but most importantly, it was healthy. He had been paying a lot of attention to his health since he realized he was not very young anymore, at least he thought he was not.

Scarlett was putting some icing on the rest of cupcakes in the kitchen when her eldest daughter decided to sneaked her way in, making an attempt to steal another cupcake from the counter. Of course, Scarlett could tell without looking since she had developed sharper senses since giving birth. When she turned her body around to place the tray on the counter, the little girl looked up at her mother with a pout on her face, her big hazel eyes gleamed in anger when her tiny arms retreated in defeat. In her toddler mind, she thought her mother was being unfair, why did her brother get to have it when she could not? Yes, Scarlett had given her one earlier, but one was not enough. The cupcake was so tiny she was able to finish it in four

"Romantic love is mental illness. But it's a pleasurable one. It's a drug. It distorts reality and that's the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw." -Fran Lebowitz- *** "Good morning, are you ready to go out?" Damian woke up to the knocking sound from his door, while he had set his alarm to eight, at exactly 7A.M Lana was already disturbing him with her early chirp. He was still dressed in his black t-shirt and shorts when she was already all dressed up in a complete winter outerwear. It was typical in Russia during winter to wear layers upon layers of outfit to ensure maximum warmth during the extreme cold, so he could only imagine how long it took for her to get dressed, which meant she had woken up so early in the morning. He had not e

"Caring, about people, about things, about life is an act of maturity." -Tracy McMillan- *** That morning Damian woke up with a throbbing head, his body was shaking, freezing, he was feeling unwell for some reason without any idea why. The night before he was completely fine, though he was having more fatigue than usual, but he did not feel any symptoms of illness. Yes, he did remove his winter hat yesterday a few times because they were scratching his head, but he never thought the cold he felt for only a few minutes could make such an impact on his body. As he slowly tried to open his eyes, he took a seat on the edge of his bed and felt his body burning up, he touched his forehead and found his temperature rising. His nose was slightly clogged and his throat was dry.

The dimly lighted room casted shadow upon part of their sweaty bodies as the raven haired woman clenched her fist on the sheet like her life depended on it. He was not holding himself back either, he had both of his hands on her breast as a support. Both were in tremendous pleasure when there was suddenly a knock on the door."Fuck, I have told them not to disturb me." He groaned as he pulled himself out from her."Who dared to disturb me?" He shouted. From the other side of the room, Dimitri was standing with his phone. He knew exactly what his boss was doing inside. Vincent had hired another high class prostitute to please him like he always did every single week. This time he had a low class model as his companion and they had been fuckin

They were passing by the ice skating rink, silently watching as people skated around with nothing but smiles and giggles on their face. The sky was getting slightly dark and they knew that soon they would have to go back."Yes, work will start soon." He replied briefly. She had gotten used to his cold attitude, which she found was mostly due to his introverted nature. Lana did not mind it at all, in fact she thought it was quite charismatic in a different directionThe two had spent so much time together

She did not want to admit it but she really hated flying. Slowly, she turned to find her seat which was located in the middle of the row. Both her and Damian had booked themselves tickets with seats number beside each other. Hers was supposedly in the middle of the three row seat, but instead she picked the seat near the window, gaining herself gazes of displease from Damian."What? You can surely take the middle seat, can't you?" she grinned made him unable to get mad. Something about the way she smiled was magical. It was almost as if she knew she could get whatever she want with that sweet yet wicked smile of hers.Definitely a fox.

The woman was definitely not an ordinary woman since she had this strong presence of mystique on her. Her eyes were pitch black, almost as if they were tattooed and she had a futuristic, almost robotic impression. Lana was not sure what kind of business she had with her.However, she could already tell the woman was not welcomed into her life. The woman did come alone which was sort of a relief because she was not in the mood to fight anyone. There was no threat and no signs of attack coming from her. Still, Lana was not going to let her guard down, experience had taught her to never do so in front of strangers.“Who are you and how do you know my name?” She questioned,

Damian too was relieved and he could not stop smiling as he gently inserted the ring on her ring finger.As he had expected, the ring fits her perfectly. She had shown him her ring collection before and he had secretly measured them. Could not help it, he had planned on marrying her since they returned back from Vincent’s old manor.

Beside that, She thought it was adorable so she kept it on."Make sure you keep on holding my hands, I want people to see that you are mine."

She felt like she was starting to recover from the trauma. It had been exactly a week since it happened and although it might be a brief amount of time, for her it had been the longest week.
