Chapter twenty: Sleechball
"What's his name?"
"Jordan"
"Really?"
"Yes why?"
"Not really a Russian name."
"It's not. Parents worked at Russian court, he went to this school"
"I see. Stay a little behind, So he won't recognize you."
"Little chance he will. I changed a lot since graduation."
"Even better.
Hey old man, meet Sabrina over there. She's Dimitri's ex. Oh don't look at me like that. We actually get along and I fight my own fights. Now how about you introduce me to your friends here." I whispered with a wink. He knew I was up to something and thankfully, he went with it.
"Rosemarie, meet Jordan Avrizi and his parents Gemma and David Avrizi. The other way around please meet gu-"
"It's so nice to meet you at last. I've heard so much about you." I interrupted my father and shook Jordan's hand.
"Very nice indeed to meet you. Rosemarie was it. A very beautiful name for a very beautiful young woman." Young woman? Seriously? What was I? Fifteen? Sleechball. He turned to the person next to me.
"Is she what you told me about. In the arrangement part?" WTF who was this dude? I may not know much about my father businesses but I knew he wasn't involved in female slavery traffic or whatever the correct name for that shit was. I turned towards my father with a look on face that pretty much said 'Can I kill him?'
He knotted.
"Haha" I laughed a fake bimbo laugh. "I'm sorry Jordan, my dear. But you may want to meet my friend first." I pointed to the girl right behind me. he turned to her.
"Hello beautiful, you seem familiar. Have I met you before. I think so. It would be hard not to remember something as pretty as yourself."
"Actually we have." Sabrina said overly sweet. "Maybe you remember this." And with that she swung her fist directly against the side of nose. "That's right. I'm the one who broke your nose for first time in that exact same spot."
"Fuck you're Nicky's friend. What hell kind of game are you playing here Zmey?"
"Actually, you kind of had the wrong idée when talking about an arrangement, also? I'm very much liking where this is headed." My father said. "Take this outside girls. I'll talk to his parents. Somehow I think they're going to want to know what their son has been up to. "
Me and Sabrina each took an arm of the sleechball and directed him outside.
"So, Sleechball, I think you and I are going to have a word." Sabrina unceremoniously let him fall on the ground.
"Who the fuck do you think you are. You can't do this to me you know. I have power! I don't know what kind of game Zmey is playing, but I have power way higher than him. My parents work in the Russian Court. I can get full protection there. Even if you are in bed with Zmey, I don't think he'll go as far as going against highly classed Royals to get to me..."
"Tut tut tut Jordan" Sabrina said. "First of I don't think you know how high Zmey's power reaches and second? You might want to wait threatening this woman next to me until she fully introduces herself."
"Oh yeah? Who would you be?"
I took my stake out of my thigh strap and started playing with it. "People call me Rose, the ones who are afraid of me call me guardian Hathaway and the stupid ones call me Rosemarie or Rosie. Right know you're in the fourth category. The stupid ones, who are oblivious to who I am and are calling me a whore. I strongly suggest you place yourself in the second."
"The name is familiar, doesn't explain why you would have power over me."
"You said Zmey wouldn't go up against highly placed Royals for me? You are wrong. He would go against anybody for his only daughter." He looked shocked. Good. Sabrina too, but she knew I was on her side "Yes I am Zmey's daughter. The thing is, he doesn't have to go against any royal for me, because the highest placed royal will also, under any circumstances, pick my side." Now he just looked downright confused.
"You do know who the highest places Royal is, right?"
"The queen, duh." Sabrina said for him. It made him look even more stupid.
"Exactly, thanks for enlightening our guest. I'm Her majesty the queen her best friend since we where five and also her personnel guardian.
Now, this is how this mess is going down. You will never contact Nicky again. You will treat any female, whatever age they might be, with the upmost respect. You will never sleep around. If you ever find yourself a girl again, who's desperate enough to have you. She'll be your queen whether you like it or not. If I ever hear a single complaint about you again? You will be pissing through a straw. What will happen for now? I would rearrange your face, but I think Sabrina would have more fun doing that. She can decide what will happen to you.
Remember Jordan. I do have power and eyes everywhere. Also as the queens guardian, a threat against me, can be seen as a threat against our dear Vasilissa. So yes, I'll always have the authority to do anything I want. Even if I can't? My father would be more than happy to take my place."
With that I went back inside, leaving the Sleechball with someone who really hated him.
When I as back inside, I went up to Lissa. It was becoming ratter late and something told me, we would be leaving soon.
"Hey Lissa how do you do?"
"My feet hurt, and there are drunk ass royals who are testing my patience."
"My feet hurt too. Don't really care about the royals but this one guy is going to be in hell for the next weeks."
"Rose, what did you do? You know you can't just do stuff to people, right?"
"That's the thing Lissa, I was a genius, someone else did the dirty for me. She had more right to it than me anyway. But now I can't be blamed." I had a smile like that pinkish cat on my face.
"I don't know whether to be proud of you, that you didn't get in trouble or scared that you are turning into your father. Whatever. You're seeing what I'm seeing between Mia and Guardian Reza?"
"Oh I have, she asked me to introduce her. As you can see, it's not really necessary anymore."
"I have an idée, We're leaving in a few minutes, we will be on the plane almost the entire day tomorrow, so there is now point in getting up early."
"Yes?" This was getting good.
"Girls night on the plane! You, me, Jill, Mia, maybe Roxanne. Oh come on it's been to long!" Lissa was way too enthusiastic about this.
"Okay fine, but Roxanne signs an OSA"
"Yeah, yeah, go grab Dimitri, we're leaving."
As said as done. Soon everyone was leaving for the plane.
All the girls went into Lissa's room; leaving the guys confused. We invited Roxane and I made her swear once more, that noting would leave this room. I changed into one of Dimitri's shirts. The moment the wheels of the airplane left the ground. Mia started bouncing.
"So where are we going? You said I could know the moment we left the ground. What is it? New York? New Jersey? New Orleans? You said New so it had to be one of them right?"
"Stop babbling will you? Do the honors Lissa?"
"Of course! We'll be going to the beautiful...
...
...
New-Zealand!"
So next stop is New-Zealand! Thanks for suggesting this Bunny!
Lots of Love
