Dimitri"I'm done getting ready, are you ready?" I sent the message to Blair, it was a few minutes before the agreed time to the date and I felt the anxiety consuming me. It had been ten days since we had last seen each other and we would have this night together in Zurich. I would be boarding again in the morning so we decided to make the most of the time we had." Almost, did you get the restaurant reservation?" she replied."Confirmed for eight o'clock, it's one of the best restaurants in town. We were lucky"I put on my overcoat, getting ready to go to the hotel she was staying at, which luckily was on the same block as mine. "You're such a snob.”I frowned at that message."I love it.” She then added, making me smile before leaving the room."I'm on my way.”A few minutes later, when I was already on the street, she replied."I'm in the hotel lobby.”I didn't take long to spot her. Blair was tucked inside her overcoat, exposed to the 40 °F temperature that plagued the city in
DimitriThe lights dimmed, indicating the beginning of the play." Quiet, it's starting," I whispered, kissing her temple." One summer night, in a forest, four young lovers meet and miss each other: Lisandro loves Hermia who loves Lisandro and is loved by Demetrius, who is loved by Helena " The gentleman who welcomed us started walking among the tables and seats scattered around the hall declaring loudly and clearly.Soon afterwards a couple came on the scene, a young woman and a gentleman." Father, please don't make me. I love Lisandro!” " Hemia, I know what's best for you," the man declared, "at least try to enjoy your engagement party, Demetrius is a good man.”" This is a nightmare," Blair groaned beside me." Pay attention," I scolded.For a few minutes it worked, Blair remained silent while Lisandro and Hermia planned their daring escape. " Helena, you must help me," Hermia approached Blair, holding her hands, "You must distract Demetrius during this party.”" Ohh I... " Bla
Blair" What did you bring me this time? " my mother asked, looking at the bag I was carrying as I walked beside her through the streets of the great bazaar of Istanbul.In three days I would meet Dimitri in London and I had been counting the hours since we last met in Zurich." Do you want to see it now? " I rummaged through the bag as we entered a spice store. " Sure.”I pulled out the souvenir, handing it to her.Lauren frowned, shaking it only to watch the artificial snow fall around the Zurich landscape inside the globe." A snow globe? " she raised both eyebrows." What's the problem?”" I thought you didn't like snow globes. You always considered them... What was the word? " she thought for a second " tacky, right?”" I thought you would like them. Dimitri chose.”" ohhhhh, Dimitri," she imitated a slight Russian accent." Why are you talking like that?” " Like what?”" Like you've just been hired by a Russian phone sex agency" I returned. " I'm not talking like that," she c
Blair" Blair," Dimitri's voice sounded through the loudspeaker of the car I had rented at the LA airport. " The GPS says I'll be there in ten minutes, Commander," I crooned, "I've already made our entire route to Carmell. I already know what we are going to see.”" Ten minutes? " he took a deep breath." You don't seem happy about it. Is there a problem? " I frowned as I focused on the traffic." My aunt and uncle want to meet you," he whispered.This information took me by surprise. The deal was that he would spend the first few days at his aunt and uncle's house in LA while I was in London, and when I returned, I would pick him up and we would go together to Abigail's parents' town. I didn't expect to meet any of his family." So this is how it will work, Commander? I introduce you to my parents and you make me meet your entire family? " I scoffed, despite the confusion in my mind." Blair, this wasn't my idea," he took a deep breath." Why not? Don't you want your family to meet
Blair" Why did you accept this? " Dimitri muttered clearly displeased as I parked the car at the edge of the beach we were to visit before arriving in Carmel-by-the-sea.All right, I wasn't happy either, it seems he didn't want to give his cousin the wrong impression, and I didn't get a single kiss in the last two hours we were traveling together." You saw the way they were treating him," I returned, "he was going to spend Thanksgiving alone.”" He deals with it every day. He's used to it.”" You can't be serious," I scolded, "and besides, look at this little face.”We both turned around, staring at the young man who was sitting in the back seat of the car I was driving." You've let yourself be led astray by the puppy eyes, really? " Don't be so mean, commander," I winked at him in the middle of a smile." You know I can hear everything you say, right? " Joe yawned, "We're going to go see this beach, or…”" Let's go," Dimitri murmured, opening the car door and getting out.I follo
BlairI pulled my car into the parking lot of the hotel we will be staying at in Carmel around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Joe was the first to disembark the vehicle, looking in horror at the building in front of us." What is this place? " he turned to me." This is the hotel I told you about, don't be fooled by the first impression, it's great," I assured him, getting out of the car and joining him, who was still staring at the building in amazement." I thought flight attendants knew good hotels," he ignored me, turning toward his cousin who was removing his bags from the car." Please don't make me regret having won five hundred dollars, try not to act like an idiot," I rolled my eyes before walking over to Dimitri and picking up my suitcase.At first, Mr. Turner's hotel did not seem so attractive to those who were used to luxury and sophistication. It was a long wooden building dating back to the last century, but as soon as we were ushered into the rooms that impression changed.
Blair" I loved coming here when I was a child," I narrated as I descended the stone stairs, "I know that this is not the most luxurious hotel in the world, but that was the impression I had.”As we reached the bottom of the stairs, the stone courtyard, filled with flower beds, opened up before us. My mind was invaded by countless memories, and I followed it to the iron guardrail that surrounded the place and prevented any accident with the cliff just ahead.I watched the sea waves breaking on the rocks and tried in vain to catch sight of the beach hidden by the trees." I love this place " I sighed " if I were here alone I would send you a picture.”Dimitri seemed to have had the same thought as me, as he held up his cell phone, trying to get a good angle." Definitely worth a picture," he winked." How are you liking California? " I smiled, turning around and leaning on the guardrail, staring at him. God, how handsome he looks!Dimitri looked relatively plain in his jeans and black
DimitriI watched the hallway where Blair had disappeared for more than five minutes. Everyone was talking animatedly, but my mind was caught in her earlier reactions. She seemed very annoyed by this girl's advances, though she tried hard to cover it up.I was about to go after her, when Blair returned and took her place beside me. I forced a smile back at Julie's voice, which had not yet tired of her constant questions." You must see some amazing places every day," the girl sighed, staring at me." Ahhhh, he definitely does," Blair answered for me, "Dimitri is practically a tour guide of historical cities. Right, Commander?” " We have a deal, Blair. You introduce me to the best beaches, and I'll introduce you to the European cities.”" You must know the beaches of Carmel then, Voitovich," John Goldberg declared with pleasure." The beach at the hotel is a very beautiful place," Frank declared." I will take you there tomorrow, Mr. Turner," Blair smiled at me, "I already have all th
