Marinalia Romus Olympus "Mali" & Victoria Darya Romus "Vika"
Tuesday - Luna Sports Centre - Sol City
Victoria definitely remembered that evening, one of the paintings hung in her bedroom suite and Marlin had some she took a liking to, it had been one Victoria would not soon forget, nore did her sister return home until the afternoon. No points for guessing why. The smile she had was proof enough she had made the most of the evening's "entertainment" That evening has ended badly with the whole camera footage getting hacked... Damn then to hell, Siberia or Milton Keynes with no signage... Purgatory in roundabouts. That would be fair.
A cook out with Sio, Joel probably too. Was she a capable cook or would it end up with a bout of food poisoning and a visit to the porcelain throne. Holding back on commenting much about the red headed woman's abilities, she drew pretty pictures, impressive and skilled but she regarded her job as more practical. Perching on the bonnet of her car, it was easier than standing the whole time which was still not what she wanted for an extended period.
"Have fun, long as she can grill better than my uncle in law carbonisation. Not sure if a burger or coal chunks. Maria married my dad, 27 years late, but finally.
Thankyou, a pick me up would be nice" Leaning back as he went inside enjoying the sunshine and watching the traffic pass by with an odd car slowing slightly as her car stood out a tad in the local area of light industrial use. Resting her cane next to her as she took the tea two handed very carefully and smiling as she savoured the sweet liquid.
"mmmm... Tea... Cannot really judge how I reacted... I've had. Issues before. I was a novelty, people... Wanted normal not the broken woman you had to make changes for." Explaining self, she felt it was only fair to least be honest. Her not talking had made many problems worse.
"Me? Honestly? OK? Managing. I have a very supportive family. Much as you, Sio, Paige and Joel probably hate them... And a few me. They sure make friends. They will support me regardless, Maria is not Darya, my mum. But I'm kinda a second daughter now. Her and Marla's advice been invaluable."Oh, he was more informed that she thought he would be, must have been who, no they weren't even there. Like how did he know that, Milo was more hooked up than she gave him credit for.
"That's definitely the short answer. It's definitely not the Waltons... My problem, but it definitely was not exactly conventional. I think I got that right. If you ever end up this way with Paige, I wish you luck with her being rather more armed." trying to soften and lighten things, did she get that reference right as that was one show she never really had seen. Jim Bo or something.
Talk. That was surprising, she expected him to hate her beyond measure for what she did. But no, damn he was a good egg.
"I was... Yeah. It is a bit shaky. If you can, I'll do my best. I never said properly, thank you for the Cane. It's much more steady than my old one, how you got the height right without asking me is quite impressive.
Good coffee. And good tea too. Thank you for the hospitality.`` Perched on her car was not the best spot but it was not that bad, sipping the sweet elixir in her hands, the tea was excellent. Not sure what to say, this meeting was extremely unplanned and never expected. She still had to find a new source for food though even with her sweet tea pick me up. Looking at the car she was resting on.
"I managed to sell someone software I developed, Least one good thing I've managed since I got back. Should let you get ready for your date eventually, oh. Consider it an attempt at a peace offering, if you ever need it, il update your systems at material cost. I'm not exactly an expert at this... " Not sure what to offer, it seemed a fair peace offer when she thought the first time, handing over a card with her personal number when if he lost it.
Sliding off her car, resting weight on her cane and having to rather look up at Milo, she had forgotten a little exactly how much taller and broader than she was.
...
Hearing the engine note of a fast bike pull up, and the distinctive accent and confidence. Dang how did he even come across her, this was plain weird, did he have someone stalking her about. She was damn sure he had not seen her and the car together before?
Turning round and looking up, slightly frustrated by the angle of sunlight making her have to squint slightly with the brightness, the change in weather had come at a surprise to many who were used to the cold northern winter.
"This is a surprise Ethan. No, I am not building my own harem of men like some mythology based fantasy. The effort would greatly exceed the benefits by several factors.
Entirely be chance, I was taking a side road for some food as traffic was awful and Milo here decided to walk out onto the road without looking properly. I had some tea and we were just agreeing to drop hostility seeing as life seems to enjoy throwing us together at events. Life's complicated enough without extra drama.
Even if I was so inclined. Paige is too damns scary... I'd not pick Milo as a first choice to say the least. Being shot at is not my idea of fun.`` Victoria decided that getting into a blazing row in the middle of street where now not just a Bentley but a high end race bike had just pulled up would hardly be missed by anyone in the area.
Deciding it had to be asked, and also answered, her Russian accent was sneaking in more noticeably when her emotions were higher.
"The last person I slept with intimately was you at the art exhibition, unless you count what you can buy from Victoria secret website as a animate object.
How did you even find me... I got this car after you last visited my home? I admit it's not exactly... Discreet. But still the mathematical odds are... Well ridiculously slim?" The comment about driving, huh? What pot holes, she never really felt them, Cardinal never had complained, nore her sister.
"Potholes? I only clipped a few. I have passed a test in two countries, Two major cities. I'm perfectly safe to drive my own car.
Can. Can we take this to say the quiet beach near the docks down that road, or one of our homes? Milo here has a date and a cook out to attend hosted Siobhan." Not wanting Milo to have a spectator side view of everything, including the fact he does not want to know in the first place. Victoria tried to guide it somewhere else even in his apartment where he held home field advantage. Least less prying eyes and ears.
Today really had Victoria confused now, life in the city was ridiculously complicated. First she meets Milo, then Ethan and now both... All she needed was Ryan to turn up and join this great party of awkwardness.
