Finally got this chapter up. Did it take very long? o.o if it did, I'm sorry! xD hope you guys enjoy this chapter. R&R please.
Bryan's POV
I'm now in the plane with Rei sleeping beside me. I just woke up. We are on a plane to Russia. I really had a surprise when I got back from work yesterday. I wanted to tell Rei that I wanted to go to Russia and try to talk to Tala and Rei was actually thinking the same.
I was even surer than before that Rei and I were destined to be together. I know it's funny to hear the sadistic Bryan talk like that but that's how I am with Rei.
Rei and I quitted our job at Japan and sold our house. We decided to migrate to Russia. There is too many bad memories back there. We decided to start anew in Russia, starting with apologizing to Tala.
I was really excited and nervous to see Tala again. After all, I haven't seen him for the past three years. Or was it more? I really can't remember. We would reach Russia in another hour. We left Japan about six in the afternoon, so we'll probably reached Russia in the early morning.
I felt Rei stirred beside and turned to look at him. He looked so beautiful and peaceful while sleeping. Like Tala. He opened his golden eyes and looked up at me with those innocent eyes.
"Hey," I whispered as most people were still sleeping.
"Hey. How long were you awake?" he asked.
"Not too long. I just woke up,"
"Oh," he said before cuddling up to me. I seriously don't like cuddling but it's ok for me if it's Rei doing it.
"You can go back to sleep,"
"Nah, I'm not tired anymore,"
I lifted up his chin and kissed him softly on his lips, "I love you,"
"I love you too," he said before leaning down on my chest as I wound my arms around his waist.
An hour was soon over as the plane landed. Rei and I stood up like the rest of the passengers on board and waited for the aisle to clear before leaving. We took our luggage and left the airport. We took a taxi to the hotel closest to Tala's house. I knew where he stayed by the letters we sent each other over the three years.
We walked out of the hotel after we checked in and went towards the nearest shopping mall. Rei and I decided to buy a few things first before going to Tala's house. We were both quite nervous.
Tala's POV
I woke up at 7 and prepared all breakfast. After that, I woke Frederick up and had breakfast with him before sending him to school.
We took my car and I drove him to school. After we reached the school, I kissed him on his forehead。
"Be good ok Frederick?" Tala said, smiling at the little boy.
"Ok mommy. Bye bye," he said, looking at his mother while smiling too.
"Bye," Tala said as he watched Frederick went into the school.
After that, he drove home.
"Hey," I said as I realized both Spencer and Ian were awake and they were eating the breakfast which I prepared.
"Hey Tal," Ian said as he chewed on his bread.
"Hi Tal, where did you go?" Spencer asked as he drank some coffee.
"Oh, I sent Frederick to school," Tala answered and sat down on the couch.
"I see," Spencer said before he continued to eat his breakfast.
Tala sat on the couch in front of the TV. He flipped through the channels and finally turned off the TV as there was nothing interesting on.
"Hey Tala, me and Ian are going to look for a house now, ok?" Spencer said as he walked over to the door.
"Yea sure and leave me all alone to die of boredom," Tala mumbled under his breath.
"What did you say?" Ian asked even though Tala was sure he heard it.
"Sure," he said instead.
"Ok bye," Spencer said as he whacked Ian on the head.
"Bye," he replied boredly.
"Later Tal," Ian said as the door opened and closed again.
Just as Tala went to the kitchen to get a coke, the phone started ringing.
"What?" Tala said immediately as he picked up the phone.
"Tala? Christ here. Are you coming to work tonight?" Christ asked impatiently on the other line.
"Yea, why?" I said as I made myself comfortable on the couch.
"Good because the pub was almost empty last night," he said. I know I told Kai I didn't work in a pub but I am.
"Too bad. Anyway, I am coming tonight so don't fret," I answered as I cross his legs.
"You better. Tonight's a Friday. You know how crowded Fridays are," Christ warned.
"I said I will and I know," I said impatiently. I was getting so irritated at my damned boss.
"Ok, bye. You better be there,"
"Bye and don't be such a nag. No one will like you until you're 70,"
I hung up and went to the kitchen again. Before I made it to the fridge, the doorbell rang. I growled in frustration. I turned around and went to the door and opened it and was ready to yell at the person who rang on my door when I saw Bryan and Rei stood there, looking nervous.
"Hi Tala," Rei said nervously.
"Come inside," I said, keeping my voice steady even though I was ready to yell at them for all I was worth.
Seriously, what the hell is happening? First it was Kai and then it was Spencer and Ian, though I really wanted to see them, and now it was Bryan and Rei. My life is surely one big mistake.
They came in and sat on the couch.
"Well?" I asked as I sat down too.
"I'm sorry!" Rei burst out as he stood up. I raised an eyebrow.
Rei took a deep breath, "I'm sorry for what I did. I shouldn't have done that. It was inhumane and cruel. I was, no am an utterly pathetic person for doing that. I am so, so sorry for what I did Tala. I didn't know why I did it. I know I won't like it if Bryan cheats on me. What can I ever do to make you forgive me?"
"What use does it have for you to say that now? You know what? I was pregnant when Kai left me. I had to bring up my child all by myself. You have no idea how much I suffered," my voice was emotionless.
I heard Bryan and Rei gasped.
"Tala, you were pregnant?" Bryan asked. I nodded my head slightly.
"How?" Rei asked. His voice was soft.
"Biovault. Obviously," I said boredly and they both understood immediately.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't know. I wouldn't have done that if I knew! I am so sorry Tala. I'm a beast! No! I'm worst than a beat!" Rei said, crying too.
"No! I should be blamed. I should have stop Rei but I didn't. If you want to blame anybody Tala, blame me!" Bryan said.
I laughed, "Ironic isn't it? The person that destroyed my happiness found happiness,"
"Tala…please don't think like that. Please forgive us," Rei said.
"Why should I?" I asked. I really didn't feel like forgiving them. I wanted to make them pay for what they did. I am, after all, Tala Ivanov.
"You don't have too but please let us make up for it," Bryan said.
"Yes, we will do anything," Rei said.
I don't know what I'm thinking. I'm suddenly feeling sorry for them. The people who ruined my future of a happy home. I think I'm going crazy. What happened to all the hate? Have they suddenly disappeared? And to think it was still there a few seconds before. I am getting way too soft hearted.
"Fine, I will forgive you guys for now, ok?" I said. What the hell am I thinking?
"Sure!" Rei said happily.
"Thanks for giving us a chance Tala," Bryan said.
I glared at him, "Who said I gave you a chance? I only gave Rei,"
He stared, "But…but….I…you…"
Rei and I glanced at each other before laughing. I had to do that. It was just so fun to tease Bryan. They still have to make up for what they did anyway.
Bryan finally got what we were laughing about, "Hey! That was so cheating!"
"No, it wasn't," Rei and me said at the same time as we smiled at each other.
I think I might be able to forgive them. After all, they did come all the way from Japan just to apologize to me. Why should I bear so many grudges anyway? Besides Kai could have said he didn't want to cheat on me. Not really their fault…right?
"Do you want to stay around for lunch or something?" I asked.
"Sure!" Rei said immediately.
"Of course," Bryan replied.
Spencer and Ian came back a few moments later and were very shocked to find Bryan, Rei and I sitting on the couch, watching TV.
"What the fuck? I thought you guys were enemies?" Ian said. And seriously, I was very tempted to roll my eyes.
"Well we decided to start anew," Rei exclaimed dramatically as he, Bryan and me burst out laughing at Spencer's and Ian's confused expression.
"Oh I get it! You guys made out!" Ian said.
"Yes. Took you a real short time to figure that out," Bryan said, smirking.
"Shut up Einstein! And I said made out. Not made up," Ian said as smirked evilly at Bryan.
Bryan just rolled his eyes and continued to watch the TV.
Ian went over and flopped down beside Bryan and said, "Glad your back with us,"
"Eh?" Bryan said, raising an eyebrow.
"Yea I thought you were killed by a lizard. I almost prepared a funeral," Ian said in monotone but Bryan got what he was saying.
"What did you say, imp?" Bryan growled as Ian stood up and ran with Bryan hot on his heels.
"Help me Spence! Tal! Rei! Somebody, anybody save me!" Ian shouted dramatically as Bryan held him by the collar.
"See who's going to save you now?" Bryan said sadistically.
"Bryan Kuznetsov! Drop him now!" Rei commanded.
"But…but…I just caught him," Bryan said in a disbelieving tone.
"Now means now!" Rei said as his eyes narrow into slits.
Bryan dropped Ian head first onto the floor as everybody burst out laughing.
Ian got up and said, "It's not funny!" as everybody laughed even harder.
A few moments later, everybody stopped laughing as their stomach hurt terribly from all the laughing. The doorbell rang and I to get it and surprise, surprise, it was Boris.
"Tal who is it?" Bryan asked.
"Um…the milk man?" I replied as Bryan raised an eyebrow.
"Seriously, who is it?" Ian said as he walked over to the door.
"Oh hey old man," Ian said as he saw Boris.
"Old man?" Rei enquired, looking at us.
"Boris Balcov? The sadistic old man?" Ian said as Spencer and I snapped, "Ian!"
Normal POV
"Boris?" Bryan said as he too went over to the door.
"Oh hi," Bryan said when he saw Boris while everybody excluding Rei gagged.
"What the fuck?" Ian said, looking at Bryan.
"Well Rei told me I should be forgiving and since the abbey thing happened like 10 years ago, we shouldn't pursue it," Bryan said like as if he had repeated that a thousand times before.
"It happened only 5 years ago, idiot," Ian said.
"Whatever, shrimp," Bryan replied smoothly.
"Does it mean you guys forgive me?" Boris asked hopefully.
"Yes if you promise you won't be bad again," Spencer said.
"I promise!"
"You sound like school girl with a huge crush," Ian said as everybody laughed.
"Very funny," Boris retorted.
"Can you be our godfather?" Bryan asked.
"What?" he asked when he noticed the stares.
"You did not just suggest that! The almighty Bryan did not just suggest that!" Ian exclaimed.
"Is the world coming to an end?! Bryan actually suggested something social like that!" Spencer added.
"Oh my God I think I'm gonna faint!" Tala said.
"I mean he is Tala's godfather," he said as everybody stared at him.
"You did not get angry!" Rei exclaimed.
"Or get irritated!" Ian said in shock.
"Guys, I'm human," Bryan said slowly as if he were talking to a bunch of 3 years old. That earned him a whack on head by Tala.
"Hey! What did you do that for?!" he asked, rubbing his head while glaring at Tala.
"Don't talk to me like I'm a 3 year old you old creep!"
"Sorry. I'm not an old creep! So what do you say guys?" he asked as he put his hands into his pockets.
"Sure," Ian and Spencer said.
"What do you think Boris?" asked Rei.
"Ok. Of course!" Boris said happily.
"When are you and Rei getting married?" Ian asked and this time he was chased by both Bryan and Rei and the remaining people laughed even harder than before.
I never had so much fun in such a long time now. Friends really are a blessing. I wish I had forgiven them earlier; maybe I would have been happier much earlier. My life may seem perfect but it's not. There's still Kai.
While all the others chatted and caught up on what they had missed during the pass few years while I went back to my room and sat on my bed.
I sighed as I opened the drawer next to me and pulled out a photo. It was a photo of the five of us (me, Kai, Bryan, Spencer and Ian) when we were young and still in the abbey.
Those days were long over. The innocence we had as a child had been corrupted by the cold world.
I put the photo back into the drawer and sighed again. Things were just never going to be the same again.
I lay down on my bed and closed my eyes as old memories resurfaced.
