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
Flights and destinations - The Lovely Life Of Blair 23. Meeting her friends in Carmel-by-the-sea
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

DimitriBlair tried to leave quietly, just saying goodbye to our hosts, and soon we were both in the car, heading back to the hotel." What did you think of them? " she asked after a few minutes of silence."Well, they seem like kind people. They were very nice," I assured her." Kindness is the Goldberg quality. I guess that's why everyone is surprised to find out that our families are so close," she smiled." Your parents are kind.”" Did you meet the right parents? Because if I hadn't stopped my father, he would have showered you with questions about the Russian-Turkish war, and any possible conflict between the two countries," she laughed, "and that's because he liked you.”" Really? He liked me? " I couldn't help but scoff at this.Not that the man had treated me badly or anything like that, but to keep asking me about that war didn't seem very promising." Believe me, if he hadn't liked it, you would have known," she returned the provocation, and in the distance I could see the

Blair" So, is he your boyfriend? " Claire asked, staring at me suspiciously as we got ready for dinner." We haven't defined anything, we're just not seeing other people. Let's see how this turns out," I shrugged." They're dating," Alison confided to Claire, ignoring my explanation. " Didn't you hear anything I said? " I complained." What I heard was basically "blah blah blah I'm in love with a Russian commander.” Alisson returned it." Let's meet all over the world and see amazing places together," Claire added." I give it a year to be at their engagement dinner.”" Have you gone crazy? How did this jump from a date to a marriage? " I rolled my eyes, helping Alison zipper up her dress.All right, the two of us had become exclusive, but the whole distance thing still prevailed. I would not move to Russia and he would not come to the United States. How would we make it work?The best thing was to make the most of it before it all turned into a mess." You can't fool us, Blair. I

BlairI watched the illuminated Eiffel Tower through the window of my hotel room. It was after three thirty in the morning and I was just finishing getting ready when a message came on my cell phone."Are you sure about this?"I sighed, picking up my cell phone and making a video call to Dimitri." Good morning, Commander," I cracked my best smile as soon as he answered the call, "are you ready for our adventure?" You really haven't changed your mind? Blair, this is crazy," he laughed in reply, watching me with a fond expression." Don't you want to see me? It's your birthday and I have your present," I crooned as I put some of the items I had separated into my purse." I'll leave in twenty minutes, I'll meet you at the observation deck," he didn't answer my question." You won't regret it, Commander. I have everything timed out," I assured him before ending the call.I hurried to finish getting ready; if I wanted to make the most of the two hours we had together, I had to hurry.I l
Flights and destinations - The Lovely Life Of Blair 27. Introducing my mother in Pskov
Dimitri I drove carefully across the freshly snow"covered road towards my parents' house. I would arrive in a few minutes if I continued at that speed. It was December 24th, but unlike the rest of the world, we were not preparing for Christmas Eve, but for my brother's birthday. I looked at the parcels that I had gotten on my last trip to London, I hoped he would like the present. As soon as I parked the car at the garage door, a message notification arrived on my cell phone. I sighed before opening the picture that Blair had sent me. In the picture she was smiling on a swing in the ocean, wearing a colorful bikini, barefoot, and with her hair loose. It had been twenty days since we had last met. She was constantly being sent to the Caribbean and South America, while I remained in Europe. I was about to answer the message, when Maria knocked on the car window, startling me. She opened the door and settled into the passenger seat. " Aren't you getting in? " she asked. " Yes, I
