As I climb out of the vehicle, she asks, “Alek, do you mind taking me to the bookstore?”
“You’re going out?” Viktor asks. “I just got home.”
“I’ll only be an hour max.”
“Hell no. I haven’t seen you all day. You can go to the bookstore tomorrow.”
Rosalie rolls her eyes at Viktor. “Fine.”
“Don’t ‘fine’ me,Moya malen'kaya roza.I’ll spank you.”
“I’m going to my place,” I mutter, quickly walking away before I see something no amount of acid will wash from my eyes.
“Alek,” Viktor calls out. “See if you can find dirt on Brayden Kelly that we can use against him.”
“Will do,” I reply.
Entering my cottage, I head to my office, where Viktor had an impressive computer system installed. When we have a quiet day, he’s teaching me how to hack into shit.
It’s fun.
I take a seat behind the desk and switch on all the monitors so I can get to work.
When my phone starts to ring, I pull the device out of my pocket, and seeing Misha’s name flashing on the screen, I smile.
“What’s up?”
“Hey, I just wanted to check in with you,” my friend says. “How are you doing?”
“Good.”-ish.The couple of times I thought I saw Everleigh flash through my mind. “How’s married life?”
“Amazing. Well, except for the part where Aurora wants to remodel the entire kitchen.”
I let out a chuckle. “Good luck with that.”
“I’m going to need it.”
“So, have you met anyone?”
A frown forms on my forehead. “I’ve met a lot of people.”
“I mean a woman, asshole,” he mutters.
“You know I don’t date,” I reply, annoyance lacing my words.
“It’s been four years, brother.”
“Would you date if you lost Aurora?” I throw at him so he’ll shut up about the matter.
“Fuck.”
“Right. Drop it.” Changing the subject, I ask, “Have you spoken to Armani lately?”
“Yeah. They’re excited about the baby. They found out they’re having a boy.”
There’s a twisting sensation in my heart. “I’m happy for them.”
“You should give them a call. Tiana misses you. They both do.”
