ALEXEII brought Rosaline home the next day and placed her in my room. Yeka helped me move her things to my room. There was no way I was going to let her out of my sight ever again."I hope she wakes up soon," Yeka mumbled as she fidgeted with her fingers. I nodded in agreement. It was amusing to see her get attached to people she was working with. Especially the females.The mafia was basically a family but she didn't really relate with everyone except Igor, Vlad and I. I had a few female assassins before her and she didn't like any one at all. They never got along."I'm surprised you've taken a serious liking to Rose," I voiced as I focused my attention on the road. I was driving to my father's house to pick up Blakely and bring her back home."I really like her. she's like a sister I've never had," Yeka admitted. "I'm glad," I said and she chuckled."I'll stop her," she pointed at a coffee shop. I nodded and parked to let her out. "Call me when she wakes up. If not, I'll feed your
ROSALINE"What do you want to eat?" Alexei asked me. Everyone was in my room, Yeka was seated on a couch that was at the corner of Alexei's room while Blaze, Vlad and Igor were leaning on the walls.Alexei was standing in the middle of the room with his phone in his hand and Blakely was on the bed with me. Her head was on my lap while I stroked her hair.I missed her beautiful blonde her so much."Do I get to ask for anything?" I asked. Alexei nodded at me and I grinned. "I want a parfait with a lot of fruits. That's my appetizer. Then, I want a bagel, a croissant, a spicy burrito, a chicken burger, chicken salad and then chocolate cake. I want the parfait to be large sized," I listed and everyone looked at me with wide eyes.Alexei looked at me like I was crazy."What? A woman has to eat," I defended with narrowed eyes and they laughed while Alexei looked at me with a knowing look. I huffed and crossed my arms across my chest."Get some rest while we go and get your food," he said to
ROSALINE"Not to mention that your brother is a really fine piece of ass," Yeka whispered in my ear. I glared at her, "Yeka!" she grinned and waved me off. "I appreciate art when I see it. I mean, who wouldn't notice a chocolate snack walking on legs? Those muscles and hands! Fuck, I wouldn't mind if he choked me with them," she moaned a little and I pushed her off the bed.I was rewarded with a loud laugh from her.She knew what she was doing. "You're crazy," I told her and she giggled as she climbed the bed and laid down. I kicked her and she fell down again with a groan.This was my turn to laugh. "You're brutal. You're meant to be laying down in bed. Not kicking me," she huffed and I giggled as I helped her up.I still didn't understand why I needed to stay in bed. I was feeling full of life and strong as I normally felt.'You're a doctor, you should know!' I heard my subconscious say."Never talk about my brother like that again in your life," I warned and she rolled my eyes. The
ROSALINEI woke up from my sleep to find myself wrapped up in Alexei's arms. His head was resting on my chest and our legs were tangled. I loved waking up to myself being in his arms."You're still meant to be asleep," I heard him mumble into my chest. I smiled and ran my hand through his hair. "Are you meant to be awake?" I asked him. He looked at me with an eye open and I wanted to take a picture of him that way.He looked so adorable."I'm never fully asleep," he said and closed his eyes again. I frowned, "That isn't a good thing." "It's already a habit," he mentioned as he snuggled closer. "That's a very bad habit, Alexei," I tapped on his ear.He hummed and looked up at me, "I'll change when you're fully recovered." I rolled my eyes but kissed his forehead. This man was too good for me."What is the time?" he asked me and laid back down. "Six." "Sleep. The sun isn't out yet," he said. I smiled, "I want to check on Blakely.""Her nightmares have stopped. I'm glad," he said to me.
ROSALINE"I want the baby to be a boy," I said as I watched Alexei make breakfast. He looked incredibly hot with the black t shirt he was wearing that hugged his muscles. I loved how his muscles flexed with every moment he made. It made me want to lick him.No one should blame me. I blame him and the hormones. "I want a girl," I heard Alexei say and I gasped dramatically. "You're joking," I teased. He turned around look at me with a raised brow, "I want a smaller version of you.""Why?" I cocked my head to the side. I was seated on the island with my legs crossed while he made breakfast. He was the one that put me there and told me not to move."Blakely will have someone to play with and I'll have two little princesses to protect and provide everything they ask for," he said with all seriousness in his tone.Awn, he's so sweet. "What about me?" I narrowed my eyes at him. He chuckled, "You're no longer a princess, Rosaline. You're my queen."My heart moved in my chest and my cheeks
ROSALINEI just entered my second trimester!My baby bump was starting to become evident. I couldn't stop staring at it in the car as the driver took us to the hospital to get my prenatal and to take an ultrasound."What's wrong?" I turned to look at Alexei who was looking at me with a frown. "I'm getting fat," I pouted and rubbed my stomach. It was protruding and round.Oh my God!"I don't see that," his frown deepened. I rolled my eyes, "It'll soon be evident. I'll become fat with swollen legs and pimples all over my face. I'll become ugly."Alexei rolled his eyes and said something in Russian. "I'm getting a personal AI because of you," I huffed and turned to face the window. He chuckled and pulled me to him."I said you'll incredibly beautiful no matter what happens to you," he said and placed my hand on his chest. "Even if I was a worm?" I asked. He glared at me, "Why do you always have the reasoning of a child?""Why do you act like a grandpa?" I shot back.He raised a brow at
ROSALINE"Hey, mom," I said as I walked into the room, pulling Alexei with me. He offered to follow me this time and I loved the idea. The room was properly lit with the window blinds pulled aside so there would be ventilation.I was really grateful to Anya for this."Sit here," I put Alexei on the arm chair beside the bed and sat on the bed. There was silence and I watched as he looked at my mother before speaking up. "You look just like her," he said and I nodded. "Now you know where I got my looks from," I said proudly as I wiggled my hands over my face making him chuckle. "You miss her," he stated and I nodded. I looked at my mother. "I've always craved for her warm hugs. I miss her sweet voice," I told him. "She can sing?"He looked genuinely interested and it made me smile. Marcus never really cared about the little things that I liked."She used to be an opera singer. She taught my brother and I how to sing and play a few instruments," I told him.He raised an amused brow at m
ROSALINEI looked at my reflection with satisfaction. I looked like a mother with the way I was dressed in a floor length green dress. It was A shaped and had gold embroidery on it, making it look so beautiful.My baby bump was a bit evident and I wondered how I'd look like if I was full into my third trimester.When I was still working as a doctor in the hospital, I had come across different types of pregnant women. Some of them made me want to get pregnant while the others made me thank God for making me single.And no, I'm not joking.I wasn't the type to get pimples on my face but I think this pregnancy was meant to humble me because I don't understand why there were pimples scattered across my forehead."I look like shit," I huffed when I noticed them. And previously, I was admiring myself.What a wonderful day it is.Identify the sarcasm please.I decided to put on makeup then. It wasn't the heavy type, just minimum but enough to cover my ugly pimples. They weren't actually ugl
