Soviet Kittens Ch.2

It's been a few weeks since Ivan first dropped by and gave me the kittens which I named fog and mist. The two fur balls where now very at home and I had bought all the necessities to having kittens and more often than not they would fall asleep on my lap as I read after work at my French style bakery. Every day I would go out after feeding them and let them in there little play room with feathers and string in a small guest bed room which I never used.

That morning I had gone out to my job and was in the middle of making that morning's pastries when a bell dings on the small shop.

I walk out drying my hands. "Um I'm sorry we're not open quite ye…"my voice trails off as I look up and see Ivan standing there in the door way I smile dropping my hands "I I didn't expect u to come back"I I realize this sounded rude and blushed "wait that's not…"I trail off blushing deep leaning on the counter

He smiles and looks around happily "Hello _ how have you been these few days the kittens are being good, da?" he said smiling with his thick acsent making my knees week.

'of course he's here for the kittens, don't be so excited' I think mentally slapping myself I smile and look up attempting to hide my blush "good they've made themselves at home in my house and have become part of my family," I pause and think for a moment "i-I'm sorry if I sounded rude before when u said you'd visit I thought you may have just been being polite." I say sighing lightly looking down as I remove my apron

He looks at me sadly making my heart throb "Ah…That makes sense I meant to ask for your number I didn't want to arrive unannounced sorry, Sunflower" he hesitates before saying the last word smiles softly down at me as I look up at him. Hearing this new found nick name i blush returns and my heart skips a beat.

I breath a wavering breath and wave around me at my already made pastries and breads "care for a snack not for free of course" I giggle up at him and he smiles again somehow making him cute against all odds with his masculine build making me to smile and looks around breathing in the sweet scents and he looks at the labels on the cakes, truffles, cookies and Danishes.

He smiles and points to the small chocolate cake slice with a candy vodka bottle on top the label saying "contains alcohol", "can I get the chocolate cake slices it smells good" he giggles a little looking sheepish.

I smile and bend over to get it out as I put it on a plate and ring it up I look at him "I've been wondering what's with the overly ecstatic smile all the time it's like you just killed someone and got away with it" I look up at him as I print the recite and I look up at him and an almost tangible aura forms in the air around him "kol kol?"

I blink and giggle just a little "I think I'll take that as a yes for now, 7.99" I say returning to the topic at hand.

He blinks, I caught him off guard "you're not afraid?" he Questions unsure how to take my reaction handing me the money.

I take it and calculate his change "I've no reason to," I smile up at him "I can tell I can trust you." I say and hand him his receipt and change.

His eyes soften and he takes what I hold out to him "I don't remember giving you a reason to trust me either, but if it's you I'll take the compliment" he grins and sits down with a fork and starts with the bottle "oishi did you make this sunflower?" he asked back to being cute as I lean over the counter to watch his expression

I grin "well this is my bakery, no I'm afraid I've wasted two much time if you'll excuse me Ivan." I wake at him still blushing my heart beating insanely fast and return to the kitchen to finish prep

After that he leaves without another word leaving a tip. business goes as usual and I sell out as always and I find on the back of his receipts is his phone number underneath it reads 'text me so I know your number sunflower' I almost squeal but return home after making a stop at the store and do as instructed and text him.

That night as I'm trying to sleep I look out the window and hanging upside down is what looks like a corpse and another more freaky bloodthirsty aura and I sit up and look out waking from my dream and wonder if it was really a dream.
