Chapter 39
I spent the next week similarly to the first, hanging out with Avery in the mornings and evenings while training with Dmitry and Sasha in the afternoons.
At the end of the week, Sasha had gotten us all tickets to see his game a few states over. Vasily drove us there early in the morning and we checked into our rooms. I was to share a room with Sasha and Avery, while Dmitry and Vasily shared the adjoining room to ours. Dmitry went to the arena to meet the team and help out with some of the warm ups.
‘Can we go check out the little shops downtown’ Avery asked, hopeful. Vasya grunted in dismissal as he worked on a presentation on his laptop.
‘If you want’ I shrugged in mock indifference. Anything for you doll, I thought to myself. Vasya looked at me with an arched brow and a warning glance. ‘I know, I know’ I mumbled.
‘You always seem to get stuck with me, don’t

Sasha's POVDmitry arrived right on schedule and settled right in. I was no longer able to skip my morning runs and Dmitry was not shy about dragging me out of bed when I tried to sleep in. I only slightly regretted having him living in my house for that reason. Avery was also not quiet about the rude awakening in the morning. She cursed out Dmitry on more than one occasion and got into the habit of locking the door at night. Dmitry simply pounded on the door in the mornings until I got up.I’d been lying awake long before my alarm went off. Avery’s head was on my shoulder, her arm across my chest, and one of her legs over my hips. I couldn’t imagine she was overly comfortable but every time I moved she would pull me closer and nuzzled her face into my chest. She was like a little heater, I didn’t need any blankets over me with her in my bed. Usually I ended up flipping the covers off myself halfway through the nigh

AVERY’S POV.Once Sasha had fallen asleep I got up and showered, then made my way to the kitchen to make breakfast for us all in an attempt to subdue a sullen Dmitry. He did not do well with tardiness and alterations in his plans; he was incredibly rigid sometimes. The fact that I had kept Sasha for a few extra minutes in the morning was enough to make him grumpy all day. Sasha had taken the brunt of Dmitry’s frustration that morning considering the state he was in when he returned to bed. Regardless of the fact that he had probably already eaten, Dmitry was like a hobbit when it came to food and would welcome a second breakfast gratefully. He was constantly eating to keep up his caloric needs, thankfully he also paid for half of the groceries each week.Dmitry was sitting in the living room reading a book and threw me a scathing look as I approached him. I handed him a plate stacked with peanut butter & banana pancakes top

As I was cooking the chicken for dinner, Sasha got home.‘Malyshka?’ he called out.‘Kitchen!’He gave me a toothy grin and a peck on the forehead before wrapping his big arms around me.‘Smells, amazing, what are you making?’‘Chicken, pasta, roasted asparagus and french beans with pesto’ I answered.‘Do I have time for a quick shower first?’‘Yup, shouldn’t be too long until it’s ready though’. He sauntered down to our room while I finalized the meal. My phone beeped and I reached for it absentmindedly while taking out the plates and cutlery.16:33 4015559301: Hey16:33 Avery: Hey, who’s this16:35 4015559301: It’s Chris, can we talk?Horror struck, I deleted the message immediately without re

Avery POV The following semester went by in a blur, we had nursing classes every day with our last class of biology on Tuesday mornings. It was a lot more interesting as some of the nursing concepts were directly related to what we were learning in biology. Thanks to Vasya’s help I was doing well on all of my pathology classes and feeling more and more confident when working on skills in the lab or when treating patients in clinicals. We had a lot more essays to write and nursing concepts to learn but with the extra help at my restaurant, I was able to pass them all in with a few days to spare. At the end of March, just before our exam began, Kate messaged me saying she was in the middle of a crisis. I told her I was going to be at her place shortly, then made a quick phone call to Sasha to let him know I wasn’t going to be at his playoff game that night. He was understanding but clearly disappointed. ‘I’ll be back, you
Malyshka Chapter 44
Avery’s POV Somehow Sasha did manage to convince Dmitry to go along with the plan, but Dmitry was not pleased about it. He spent all week sulking and avoiding me. Friday came and Kate tried to bail on me at least a dozen times, but I refused to let her off the hook. I got ready with her at her apartment. She chose to wear a cute navy blue dress and she put her hair up in a messy ponytail. I wore a loose fitting black dress and left my hair down in waves. I drove us over to the restaurant where we were meeting the guys. Kate looked incredibly anxious on the drive there, she was biting her bottom lip, wringing her hands and jiggling her leg the whole way to the restaurant. ‘Why are you so nervous?’ I asked, as I parked the car next to Dmitry’s brand new SUV. ‘I have no idea, I just have this weird feeling’ she said climbing out of the car. ‘Good or bad?’ ‘I don’t know’ sh

We were finally in the exam period, and Sasha's team had made it to the playoffs. The tension at home was palpable, it was Sasha vs. everyone and we were all on edge. Dmitry and I did our best to stay out of Sasha’s way, but unlike me, Dmitry was quick to put Sasha in his place when he took out his frustration on either one of us. Sasha was short tempered, irritable and exhausted. He did not do well with stress, that much was obvious. He was never aggressive on purpose but he did not hold back what he was thinking. The exam period spanned over two weeks. My first exam was scheduled the day after Sasha’s first playoff game. I wanted to be supportive of his career so I made sure to attend his home games. I knew they were his most important games. I spent the week leading up to them studying so that I could attend the night before. I sat with my brothers and cheered on with them as his team won the first game of the quarter finals. Sasha wa

Sam never asked why I was staying at his place, but he let me stay there nonetheless. He and Janice had just returned from a trip to Costa Rica. They had been seeing each other since she took the job at the diner. They were an odd couple to say the least. Janice was always so happy and easy going whereas Sam had always been the eternal bachelor in my mind. They lived separately, but Sam was often staying the night at Janice’s. He came back to do some work and enjoy his alone time. I worked closely with Janice at the diner to oversee all the changes she had made and I was impressed with her level of dedication to the place.‘Are you going to Sasha’s game Friday?’ Sam asked when I got to his place a few days later.‘Yes, I always go to his home games’ I answered.‘It’s just he dropped off tickets earlier for Peter, Jamie and I, but not for you’ he said with a raised brow.‘Oh… that’s w
Malyshka Chapter 47
Dmitry POVEven though the team didn’t make it to the finals, I was offered the head trainer position on a 2 year contract. I accepted without second thoughts. My dream was not to be a hockey trainer, but a boxing and MMA trainer. I wanted to open up a gym here and the head trainer position would help me get there. Two years was plenty of time for me to get a decent sum of money and get my dream on track.I was able to get a decent sign on bonus to put a down deposit on a house a few streets away from Sasha and Avery’s before the end of the summer. It didn't take me long to ask Kate to move in with me. She was a perfect little girlfriend, my little princess, and I wanted to see her everyday despite our hectic schedule. Her and Avery were about to start on their third year of nursing and I figured it would be just as advantageous for them to live close together as it was for Sasha and I to be within walking distance of each othe
