REVIEW


After hours of sitting in the uncomfortable wooden chair Alfred was relieved when the talking officials decided to call for a lunch break. Standing and letting out an obnoxious yawn, followed by a stretch, the blonde spared a glance at the small girl. Natalia sat amongst her country men with a stiff uniformed posture that made her seem like a statue. She was giving the organized stack of papers in front of her a blank stare, or – was it a glare? She was snapped out of it tough as her boss called her attention with a gruff voice. Her head snapped up in response looking at him as he gave her the order to get out of his sight for a while, leaving her to stand without a word and leave with her head down like a lost puppy.

Alfred watched before following her out and catching her arm before she could get too far down the hall way. She visibly tensed and attempted to pull away, but it didn't seem like Alfred was going to let her go. Here, he was going to start yelling at her and wish to never see her again. She stood completely still in silence, not daring to say the first word. She heard him take a breath and braced herself.

"Why haven't you talked to me?" Alfred asked, innocently enough, letting go of her arm and tilting his head a bit in curiosity.

After the second it took her to realize he wasn't angry, she was able to relax and look at him, "I – Ivan, has been a little, o- over bearing lately." She said, a hint of nervousness sending her voice in a barely noticeable quiver. Alfred searched her expression for something more, but he found nothing. He gave a small sigh, deciding to drop the subject for a while, offering the small girl his arm.

"How about we go get some lunch; I'm starving" He flashed her, his signature smile. She eyeballed him a second thinking his offer over in her head. Her mental debate was cut short when her stomach groaned for food, making her blush and looking down taking his arm in embarrassment.

He let out a small chuckle leading the blushing girl, to lunch.

The day outside was nice. The two sat in the yard of the government building on a soft blanket, eating some kind of foreign food Alfred had never seen. "What is this?" He asked sniffing it.

"Draniki" she says simply taking a small bite out of one of the crispy cakes.

"A wha'?" He looks at her in confusion.

"A potato pancake" she kind of mumbles taking a sip of the yellow drink that the chefs had served.

Alfred wasn't really sure about the meal, but decided to try it out anyway. When he did, a smile spread across his face "Not bad," he shrugged a bit taking a sip of the drink, coughing a bit.

She hid a smile and watched as he tried to drink the kvass. The two sat and ate their cakes. Alfred even managed to get the girl to crack a smile a few times, even to giggle. The couple was cut short when one of the Belarusian men from the meeting room came out saying their presence was being requested by their countrymen. Alfred sighed a little before waving the man off, "We'll be there in a minute," The man seemed as if he had been offended but walked off getting the hint.

Alfred watched waiting until the man was inside before quickly leaning forward and kissing the woman on the blanket in front of him. She seemed a bit shocked at first but was soon returning the kiss, as a blush spread across her face. Alfred gave a sly smile and let out a chuckle before standing and offering a hand to the flustered Belarusian.

Natalia looked up at Alfred, replaying what just happened in her head a few times before taking his hand and accepting his help standing.

Alfred pulled her up giving her forehead a quick kiss, intertwining their fingers, and leading her to the meeting room. They had a document to sign.
