It had been about four months of dating, nearly marital bliss, despite not being married. Asha and Adrik were attached at the hip, there were very few places one might be without the other. For Asha it was very easy, she wondered if it would’ve been this easy had she given him a chance when they were younger; but probably not. Adrik was attentive and affectionate in all the right ways, she did her best to reciprocate which wasn’t hard since Asha rarely gave anyone the time of day to begin with, Adrik was clearly special. This was surprising to some family members, all her siblings were surprised and her Dad too. But Navrik remembered what it was like to pine helplessly after someone, so he was, in a word, happy that Adrik got the girl in the end.
Adrik’s Mother and sisters were surprised too. The twins always teased Adrik about his lifelong affections for Asha, and boasted how it would never happen. That being said, Riley was unsure of the match; after all this time?
Asha had gotten the hint before that Riley felt that way, when she’d gone over with Adrik there was always something a little off about Riley’s interaction with her, though she tried not to mind it in spite of Adrik being a massive mama’s boy. As Asha was preparing for a dinner with his family, applying her makeup and doing her hair with an absent mind, she wondered if Riley were to disapprove of their relationship out loud, what would Adrik do?
Adrik had come over to Asha’s apartment directly after work and had even had one of his men bring over a duffel of his clothes (he had several at the ready between his office and apartment) so he could primp all the same with Asha.
After all, tonight was special.
Adrik had known from the moment he met Asha that he loved her, he knew shortly after then, even in his youth, that he wanted to marry her. They may have gone different ways in their youth, but she was never far from his mind and never away from his heart. That was why tonight he wanted to confer with his mother at dinner and talk about his potential proposal. He wanted her insight.
He had just gotten out of the shower and gotten mostly dressed. He had managed to get his pants and his button up on, but came up behind Asha with his tie still hung untied around his neck. He placed his hands at her hips and leaned over her, resting his chin at her shoulder.
“You’re still putting on all that makeup?” He teased with a grin before kissing softly behind her ear. “Are you almost ready?” _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts.
“You’re not allowed to look better than me, I have to take my time.” Asha bit back a grin. “I’m nearly done, just gotta get changed now.” She added, reaching behind her to give his cheek a playful pinch.
“Even if I was prettier than you, which I’m not, you’ll always be at least more beautiful than my ugly sisters.” Adrik joked, pulling from the lunch only to playfully nip at Asha’s fingers instead. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts.
Asha turned around then, adjusting the collar of his shirt and getting his tie knotted properly; a Windsor knot. She even reached up to smooth out his hair and tease it in the right places.
“Well I’m not dating your sisters, thank goodness.” Asha uttered, smoothing out his shirt before giving him another playful pat on the cheek. “I’m gonna change, did you want to call a car?” She asked.
“I can do that. You should wear that dress I got you last week. I think it looks nice on you.” Adrik smiled, already pulling his phone out to call for one of the Nikitin foot soldiers to come pick them up.
((FF))
It was a bit of a drive with late afternoon and evening traffic stopping up the streets, but eventually Adrik and Asha made it to his parents townhouse, his childhood home.
It was set to just be the four of them. Apparently Ania and Vania had their own work to do and Ivan was out with Ace (as he was still technically a “nanny” to the babiest Nikitin) at the gym with the intention of going to the shooting range later. Though Adrik teased his siblings relentlessly, he enjoyed their company so he was a bit disappointed they wouldn’t be at dinner, but it was just as well. He wanted to talk to his parents, his mother specifically, alone anyhow. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts.
Riley didn’t cook, or at least she preferred not to with the results being hit or miss. During the war the extent of her cooking was roasting rabbits on skewers over a fire. She’d picked up a few recipes here or there, but she’d always rather have a chef come and cook for her family to ensure everyone ate good, or order take out. That being said she was finishing up setting the table when Adrik and Asha came in.
Riley didn’t hate Asha, she’d known her since she was born so it felt a lot like hating a baby to say she hated Asha. But she was skeptical of her and her intentions with Adrik, her place in his life.
“ Dobro pozhalovat' domoy, synok.” Riley greeted aloud from her place in the dinning room.
Adrik immediately perked when he heard Riley call out and as soon as he removed Asha’s jacket and his own, he hurried off to the dining room to find her. All grins, he went over to his mother to greet her with wide open arms.
“Mama! Ya skuchal po tebe!” He beamed. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts.
Asha trickled in behind, giving the two space to fawn over each other. Asha wasn’t really a mama or Daddy’s girl, she’d always been pretty independent. Bu she recognized that Adrik was very much a mama’s boy, not that she minded or express it if she did. Riley wasn’t really someone she wanted to mess with or upset.
Just as Asha entered the dining room from the front-most entrance, Mityr came in from a side entrance, fussing with some cuff links when he glanced up and saw his son and wife and then Asha. Seeing Adrik and Riley swept up in each other as they often were whenever they went any amount of time apart, he went to Asha first. He smiled at her before reaching for her hands.
"Asha, I'm happy you could make time for us. I feel like I haven't seen you in so long." He smiled.
Unlike Riley, Mityr didn't have the same skepticism regarding Asha's involvement with Adrik. In fact, he felt like their relationship was a long time coming. Their courtship, in a way, reminded Mityr of his and Riley's own early relationship. Riley had been so skeptical about him and then, suddenly but somehow seamlessly, their coupling just was. If Riley could have a change of heart, so could Asha. More than just that, he had always liked Asha, every since she was a small babe, and he knew that Adrik had really always liked Asha. _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts.
“Thank you for inviting me. How’s the new campaign? Will you be traveling out of the states for it?” Asha asked with a polite smile.
Mityr was a model too, and Asha worked for the same company as him for awhile. Even though she was doing some independent contracting right now, there was still some overlap with other models and companies.
"It's going well, but not much travelling this time. Although, me and Riley are planning a trip back to Russia. We'll be taking Ivan since he's done with school." Mityr said, though, he omitted the part that while it was a little family trip, it was also a business trip. He was sure Asha had some idea about the nature of Riley and their kids' work, he didn't like to discuss it much and he certainly didn't want to make a habit of discussing those matters with Asha (or any of his kids' prospective partners for that matter). "I read that blog article about your newest job. Very exciting things, hm?"
Adrik turned to look at Asha and Mityr then, lighting up as he released Riley and went over to his father and girlfriend. He wrapped his arm around Asha's waist and settled into her side.
"They're lucky to have her, right? I went and visited her at one of their shoots not too long ago. She was fantastic." He gushed as he always liked to gush about Asha at any given chance. "You should have seen her, Mama." _________________ Butts n' butts n' butts n' butts.
