Pt. 3: BOR'KA


Generally, Bor'ka finds it annoying to be in the middle of two fighting people, much less two feuding females, one of which, is his sort-of-cousin Oksana, who is sitting on his left side, and the other one of which, is his sort-of-cousin's who-the-hell-knows-what-best-friend-or-lover-or-archenemy-or-ex-something-or-non-ex-everything, this 'Eve Polastri' woman, that he's sitting next to on his right side even though they basically just met.

He doesn't think it's normal, for two people who apparently haven't seen each other in ages who've missed each other beyond all belief and who have some super-secret-spy-assassin-sort-of-past to be fighting so much without letting him switch seats with one of them so they can just argue with each other without him in between them.

He doesn't think that it's normal, for this 'Eve' person to be wearing such an elaborate outfit that his kind-of-cousin Oksana apparently picked out for her, and for it to fit so well, seeing as they both insist to him repeatedly that they are not actually lesbians, together, despite what he might think and has asked them multiple times once he's caught them actually nearly or almost actually kissing, which they say was just a figment of his own imagination.

And he certainly doesn't think it's normal for him to be meeting an apparent MI6 or ex-MI6 agent or whichever so soon after his entire family except for Okana's brother, just passed.

But Eve Polastri is different for Oksana, at least, as recent times have established. And those two fight like crazy over him and under him and it's driving him bonkers, even if Eve is really sort of hot! (Oksana does have exquisite taste in EVERYTHING, after all), and he just can't stop looking away...

And his mother and his step-siblings and their families all just died, so I mean, he should have some leeway for some emotional anomalies as of late, right?

(Even if it was Oksana who killed all of those in the first place, but nobody needed to know that for sure… Plus she was a total maniac, so his very own 'momma dearest' just had to go… As if he would understand… Right?)

Generally, Bor'ka finds it annoying to be in the middle of two fighting people, much less two feuding females, one of which, is his sort-of-cousin Oksana, who is sitting on his left side, and the other one of which, is his sort-of-cousin's who-the-hell-knows-what-best-friend-or-lover-or-archenemy-or-ex-something-or-non-ex-everything, this 'Eve Polastri' woman, that he's sitting next to on his right side even though they basically just met.

But he's crossing the line of 'almost a little bit being okay with being in the middle of all of this girl-on-girl-lady-woman-grownup drama', now.

He's pulling out her phone to dial a familiar number.

He's once had it for 'emergencies only' - that one time they had been manipulated to 'being on his own to walk to and from school or whatever' by his mother, and her cold-war ex-boyfriend…

(Who the hell even is that man, anyway? And what kind of name is Grigoriy for a guy? Bor'ka never really figured that part out for sure, he was too busy following along with all of Elton John's albums on Youtube, because the sound tuned out the yelling and the fighting that always happened inside of his house)

(Which also fell into the category of 'things that were sort-of-actually Oksana's fault, but of course those are just part of the nitpicky details…' and thus, again, he should have some leeway to be a bit loopy after that day, too, Bor'ka thinks to himself)

Bor'ka dials Pyotr's cell phone by heart.

Of course, he still remembers it.

He could call out that number in his sleep. That's how well he knew it by heart (he hopes she doesn't actually do that.)

He could call out that number during school if she needed to. (He hasn't actually done that, which is good, seeing as she was supposed to be promoted to head boy not too long ago, and that teacher would have probably wanted to murder him for doing such an atrocious thing in the classroom)

He could call out that number at gunpoint...

But luckily, for Bor'ka, he doesn't need to do that right now.

Because no one is holding him captive or at gunpoint or in any danger at all.

Bor'ka is standing outside of a concert hall right now, which is next to the house Elton John, himself has once grown up in. (Or, Bor'ka likes to imagine that part is true anyway, even though he thinks that both Oksana and this 'mysterious Eve person' were both lying when they had tried to tell him that…)

He just went to check on his cousin, and how he was coping with the death of that sweet little woman he owed his human existence to.

He thought his brother Pyotr would take him someday to see Elton John live with him, but as it turns out his passport is totally dead and he's not coming here anytime, ever, to take him out near this date.

So he hates to waste any change at all (even though she has bucketfuls of it) letting that one time that Oksana is finally 'almost letting him buy as much junk food as he wanted, now, go to waste…

Because the space that she gave the boy was actually symbolic, and for him to stop on the trip, not to actually do something like, hate her and Eve before he ever had the chance to use all of their Elton John tickets because Bor'ka wishes now that he had already done this part online because everyone knows you can't get good snacks if you wait too long.

So Bor'ka wished that Oksana had only already purchased two tickets before she told him his mother had died.

And that she'd wanted to surprise him with that gift that makes him the colest kid ever for such a young little boy.

And now, his plans have changed because Oksana's brother can't leave the country, and he sure as hell does not want to be the only person, ironically, as he's only like, twelve himself, in charge of two bickering possibly girlfriends or ex-girlfriends or ex-sex-friends or whatever, while he still to wait in the long lines to watch Elton John.

And Bor'ka would never admit how much he's secretly delighted that he has a perfect non-emergency, non-murder, perfectly normal reason to call Pyotr now.

To ask him this very important question, no less.

And so, Bor'ka has dialed (what is probably still, hopefully not dead currently) Pyotr's cell phone by heart, now.

Generally, Bor'ka doesn't answer text messages or calls while he's waiting to see his favorite concert- even from a non-unknown number that he most definitely recognizes, actually, from his own last remaining family, that he knows of, at least, other than this

Oksana'... Even if he doesn't like to admit that part, to anyone else, ever, or even himself, so it seems...

But Eve Polastri is different for Oksana, at least, as recent times have established. And those two fight like crazy over him and under him and it's driving him bonkers, even if Eve is really sort of hot! (Oksana does have exquisite taste in EVERYTHING, after all), and he just can't stop looking away...

So he calls Pyotr, in vain attempts that maybe he'll pick up his damn phone.

But as it happens, the thing goes straight through to his voicemail.

So, he texts him is to call him back immediately at this number because he has an important question to ask him.

Bor'ka doesn't bother leaving his name, because he knows Pyotr would know his voice from memory, even though a shitty text message, the same way he already knew Oksana's phone number by heart.

It takes four hours for Bor'ka to finally crack.

He's called and called again at least eighteen times.

And each of them has given her no result except for the message manager.

And Bor'kais is driving herself insane by listening to Pyotr's outgoing message.

So he finally leaves a Goddamned voice message, even though he abhors voicemail like it's the plague.

But Eve Polastri is different for Oksana, at least, as recent times have established. And those two fight like crazy over him and under him and it's driving him bonkers, even if Eve is really sort of hot! (Oksana does have exquisite taste in EVERYTHING, after all), and he just can't stop looking away...

And Oksana makes Eve Polastri do things she doesn't generally do for anyone else, ever. And would probably never do for anyone else, ever, as long as she lived, not even at gunpoint. (She knows this, because she's recently actually been at gunpoint, via Oksana, no less, and this probably makes her more than a half of insane… Oksana held her at gunpoint… Eve Polastri thinks. At gunpoint!). And they're having this argument in public, no less, and Bor'ka is in the middle of it all, trying not to get touched by accident when Eve tries to pull on Oksana's hair, or when Oksana leans over Bor'ka to whisper into Eve Polastri's ear before biting it. And to think that these two people once had seen one another at gunpoint!

Still, Bor'ka starts leaving Pyotr a voicemail.

Because as he hears what Pyotr has actually called him about, earlier, which is why he reached for his phone in the first place, despite Elton John being like, right over there...

All Pyotr, in his single voice-message, starts to ask him is "Do you like...?"

As Bor'ka sits against his chair now, listening to the incessant chatter between the two women now, who are fighting again like cats and dogs, as she waits for Pyotr to finally call him back.

But Eve Polastri is different for Oksana, at least, as recent times have established. And those two fight like crazy over him and under him and it's driving him bonkers, even if Eve is really sort of hot! (Oksana does have exquisite taste in EVERYTHING, after all), and he just can't stop looking away...

So Bro'ka listens to Pyotr, a voicemail which is apparently recorded from his hometown in Russia.

And all he asks him is: "Do you like Elton John even better in concert?"

And then he thinks that that's it, that that's the end of the message.

But Bor'ka is just too damn annoyed to press 'stop' on his phone. So he keeps listening on.

And then he hears Pyotr's voice crack again, over the phone in that terrible-quality voice-messenger-manager…

And he hears Oksana say some words she never thought she'd ever hear Oksana say to him, ever, in his entire lifetime…

As he listens in as she witnesses that all Oksana adds to her message is:

"Do you want to go to see Elton John by yourself after half-time, and Eve and I can pick you up, after?"

"And if you really don't want to be alone then you can even invite your best friends you seemed to be making with those kids by the candy stand?"

"Because I know that I hate me and Eve because we've been fighting all day, and I want to know that you will someday forgive me?"

"So anyway, let me know, Bor'ka. I'll be waiting for you to let me know what you decide right back. I am in London, now, visiting with Eve instead of my brother who has a stupid non-valid fucking passport."

"So I'm most certainly not 'almost a little bit begging you', now!"

"I am simply offering this extra ticket to your friends which I already purchased because even if I am a millionaire I don't like to waste things."

"So let me know if you want to meet us later in London, I'll have your hotel key for you in my hand when you arrive there."

"And if you're into it, then I can get you some whole other snacks in a hotel room, to yourself, after."

"We'll figure out somewhere else for me and Eve to do while we wait until you're finished watching the concert."

"So, bye for now, I'll be waiting for you to call me."

"Because I know you, Bor'ka. I know you better than anyone, except maybe my brother"

"And so as I said the last time, you know you wish my brother was here..."

And that's when Bor'ka realizes that it was potentially Oksana who killed his own Mother.

It could have been Oksana, after all, who had been right there in Russia, with a lighter, in the moment while he was running off to the barn, which feels a lot like just now.

Because the voice message he'd just hear from Pyotr was from after he'd found her body, and Oksana was talking about Elton John now as if she didn't even care that his own mother was no longer alive. And the outgoing call came from his home rural town in Russia. And Oksana never said in her damn sentence she'd never wanted to ever kill her own mother...

Generally, Bor'ka finds it annoying to be in the middle of two fighting people, much less two feuding females, one of which, is his sort-of-cousin Oksana, who is sitting on his left side, and the other one of which, is his sort-of-cousin's who-the-hell-knows-what-best-friend-or-lover-or-archenemy-or-ex-something-or-non-ex-everything, this 'Eve Polastri' woman, that he's sitting next to on his right side even though they basically just met.

But Eve Polastri is different for Oksana, at least, as recent times have established. And those two fight like crazy over him and under him and it's driving him bonkers, even if Eve is really sort of hot! (Oksana does have exquisite taste in EVERYTHING, after all), and he just can't stop looking away...

So Bor'ka lets Oksana and Eve leave only him in the line-up, as he answers that voicemail from her now only other not-dead relatives in his hometown in Russia.

And all that he answers Pyotr is:

"Yes, of course, Elton John is much better in concert! And I wish you were here with me now, but I guess in a way you can be because I think that Oksana just went off to have sex with that Eve Polastri girl that she obviously really likes, even though she also hates her at times, too. And she's given me all three tickets now to me! Without having to wait for them or anything! So I can call you again once we're into the theater because I know you've always also wanted to hear music directly from Elton John."


***** END OF CHAPTER THREE


Author's Note 2:

Well, folks, hope you liked the follow-up to this story.

I'm half-tempted to write a 'part-quatre' to this, even though it WAS supposed to be a damn two-shot or 'double drabble' or whatever people call it, these days. And then it became a three-shot because the kudos and hits were just too ridiculous to even imagine.

Rest easy, and let me know if you want more or something.

Getting into a very intimidatingly good "Killing Eve" fandom might be challenging for me.

But I could be persuaded if I get a lot of requests.

Ps. Yes, this Chapter was a lot of perspective from an unlikely witness to the undeniable chemistry between Villanelle and Eve Polastri. LOL!

This was supposed to be a two-shot, but if you beg me for a four-shot, I might consider it, I just might... :D
