Chapter 4
I must warn you, there are fluff moments XD
Lian pondered on her numerous thoughts; she carefully took of the wet Chinese dress. It was ruined by the mud .Lian turned around to see her own refection on the mirror behind her. The large mirror in front of her shown a reflection of untied her braided hair , the dark hair beauty once remembered of Arthur , her former lover, he told her how he love her hair untied. She never loved anyone like Arthur. How he kissed her on her lips , how he tried to please her with his cooking which she never dared to tell him how horrible it was, the day he left her of his boredom. She was lucky to have such a beautiful face and delicate body, and remained a virgin. The Chinese bet that Ivan knew nothing of her age and she would remain it that way. The golden brownish eyes glanced at his chemise which he was prepared for her; Lian felt the fabric with her slim hand and smiled to herself. Ivan was very concerned enough to left her his shirt…how nice of him. May be the Russian wasn't that bad…
Then, She sat inside the tub, the water was warm, she was looking up and down , she was indeed felt a little bit scared of the Russian might invade her. For a while, Lian felt calm, she heard his muttering in Russian out on the corridor. As she tried to listened, she realized Ivan wasn't muttering, He was humming a song…, she remembered it was Waltz of flowers of Tchaikovsky. He did have soothing voice; Ivan was a man of talents. Lian may be an Erhuist but she adored classical music as well, Xiang often brought her some great cds from Europe. Lian cleaned, dried herself and got out of Ivan's bathroom. She wore his shirt and opened the door to let Ivan in.
"…you can come inside now Ivan" she smiles sweetly to him without knowing it.
"…Did I make you scared?" Ivan wasn't sure of her smile; he walked back inside the room.
"No… your voice kept me company, it was beautiful…thanks" Lian dried her hair with Ivan's towel.
"Oh and thank you for helping me finding Xiang, I didn't know what to do if Arthur's here"
"Umm if you don't mind me asking…who is Arthur?"
"Xiang's step father…and my ex-boyfriend"
"I see…,so you are not seeing anyone?"
"No…I'm not seeing anyone" the Chinese copied almost his whole sentence, she beamed at him.
Ivan blushed, his face went red. Lian walked to him she could hear his heartbeat. She leaned in tip-toed to the Russian. He was confused, wondered what was she trying to do, whether he was dreaming or not?
"Aiyahh you Russian people are too tall, did you know that , here's your reward" She grabbed his head tilted his face down , kissed on the tip of his nose twice. The blond was stunned, as if it was his first kiss.
"I hope…you won't catch a cold of kisses…umm…shall we go to bed?" Ivan knew that Lian wouldn't think of how risk it is to ask him that way. He had to suppress himself from her charms; he knew some day he wouldn't resist it.
Ivan let Lian slept on his bed. She lied down. He took an armchair next to the bed.
"…Doc…could you sleep next to me tonight"
"Are you sure Lian?"
"Yes…Ivan your room is so gloomy and scary" she looked around the room
"Is that what you wished" Ivan walked to the bed lied down next to her
"Could you watch me before I slept?"
"Da… "
"Thanks Ivan"
In no time , Lian was in her deep sleep, Ivan admired her beauty. Almond eyes, with long lashes, desirable rosy lips. Lian was breathing peacefully. He didn't dare to caress her face he was worried that the exquisite lovely creature would wake up. He wished Lian would sleep like this forever in his bed, never ever left him.
He looked across his room. The possessor was sitting on another armchair. He eyes were full of jealousy and hatred. This time the blond didn't fear of the devil. Ivan ignored at the foul creature who duplicated his appearance, how pathetic it was.
"…I don't know what you are…but Lian is with me now, and you do not belong here."
Ivan turn of the lamp nearby his bed and pulled a blanket over them. The devil disappeared.
"She belongs t' me Braginski!"
"Well…Tina is kind and nice , I want her too, it's not a crime"
"For your information, you went to her house before I did , kissed her in front of my face at the time I got there!"
"It was just a kiss, aren't you the one who walked away from her"
"She's m'girlfriend!"
"Now you are getting more talkative…are you?"
"You are a sick bastard Braginski, 'm outta 'ere"
Berwald had took his things and put them in his suitcase, as Ivan had watched in amusement, he had never seen the furious was fun to see Berwald in rage, and burnt by the fire of jealousy. How Berwald had slammed the door on his way out shut was something Ivan hadn't had tried to stole Tina away from Berwald, but no matter what he had done, he couldn't gain her affection, in fact she had pitied him as a desperate unloved man .
Their love was too strong to be had never once interfered with his courtship. It's seemed they belonged together for previous life , present life , and the next .Ivan often had seen Tina had once or twice looked forlorn at her beloved Swede, had completely ignored his sweet words. Romantic courting what so ever. Sometimes the Swede had looked back and told Tina how he loved her from the distance, she knew what he said ,she could read his lips and understood, She had cried in front of Ivan many times. Ivan had known…Tina never once loved him.
In the prom night Ivan weren't at the prom. He hid behind a tree, spied on Tina, and he had known no matter what the Swede would come for Tina, and he let that happened .Eventually, Berwald had came to Tina's door step he had knocked too many times. Tina opened the door , she wore a blue dress with a pearl necklace, she had always wished and dreamt that Berwald would came back to her .Her wish was granted, her knight in his tuxedo were waiting outside her door.
"Be my prom date?"
"Oh Berwald! I er.."
"Please?"
"I …dressed up …tonight just for you…, I was… too afraid that Ivan would… take me there, I just can't" Her tears fall as Ivan expected. It was true he was an unloved and heartless man.
"I waited for you…why did you leave me with Ivan why?"
"Tina…listen…I gave you some time to think of our relationship…,but I miss you, I love you. Anyway no matter where you are, or you are with anyone…you always be my precious Tina"
Berwald caressed Tina's blond hair wiped her tears with kisses.
"Please don't cry"
"Yes" the Finnish beauty wiped her tears with her hands, and then she saw her hands were blackening by her mascara.
"Ah I have to fix my makeup"
"" y'look great to me…although…your eyes are like panda's" Berwald said with his neutral tone
"Berwald you just don't' understand women!" Tina and Berwald got inside her house, few minutes later they were out for their prom night together. Ivan sat behind the tree, went back to his room alone.
The morning was so young, Ivan woke up to find Lian was gone, he could hear the birds were chirping. He could smell the scent of Oriental spices and herbs. He walked to his kitchen, saw the charming miss Wang ,was slicing an egg tofu in to dices. She wore his white T-shirt form yesterday, obviously she didn't know she was being observe by the blond. Ivan admired he slim vest ,porcelain legs, the way she wiped her sweat where she boiled soup. Such a great aroma such a great view, he thought.
"cute…" he thought to himself
"You awake…Dr. Bearginski? I hope you don't mind me using your kitchen"
"Nyet…Why did you call me like that last night and Bearginski?"
"Horny fatty bear? Well…" she continued stirring the soup "You are so big and tall…and yet…"
"Desperately handsome, da?"
"No… like a bear, a polar bear…Vanya" Lian chuckled, Ivan could help but smile.
"Did you call me Vanya?" he walked to her closely.
"Yes…well you nickname isn't it, what a cute nick name, I saw it on your photo with your girl friends"
"Natalia is not my girlfriend; they both are my lovely sisters Kayutsha and Natalia"
"I see…Natalia huh?"
Lian began stirring the soup again pretended not to pay too much attention to him
"Please call me Vanya again"
"Here taste it Ivan!" Lian giggled, she hand a spoonful of soup to him
Ivan opened his mouth wide, point his index finger to his mouth. Lian feed him the soup, and pinched Ivan's cheek. His Lian was grinning, teasing him.
"You chubby bear …so cute aru"
Suddenly, Lian fell down on the floor; luckily the boiling soup was still on the stove. His heart dropped, and Ivan quickly embraced his precious doll. Lian face was pale white as a sheet. How could he forgot that she wasn't feeling well of a cold, he felt so stupid.
"Vanya I feel dizzy…" Ivan lift Lian to his couch, he put her there. He turned off the stove pour the soup and feed Lian with it.
"You sure needed rest Lian…" The blond grin with his typical childish smile, Lian blushed.
After Ivan feed Lian, he took her to bed, made a phone call to the hospital; he needed 2-3 days off to be with Lian. Ivan was watched Lian lying unconscious on his bed.
Suddenly, his phone rang eight times Ivan decided not to pick it up, still admiring Lian. As the irritable noises stopped .Ivan went to check up who called him. He played the message which the caller left for him
"Beep!" a sound of his phone recorded a message.
"'ello…It's me Berwald…Are you with Lian right now?I warned you…leave Lian alone, you hear me? Berwald! Don't say things like that it's me Tina it's been a long time. Let's have dinner at Francis's just four of us Me, Berwald, you and Lian, Berwald please settled the times and date with Ivan at the hospital ok? Yes dear. Beep! End of the message"
"What goes around comes around…" Ivan feared of ghost of the past…and this is just the beginning. Did Berwald wanted to avenge him; he never wanted to know.
