Calloway couldn't help but turn to mush a bit as Mila touched him, but he gave a nod as he reached up to gently grab at her wrist, letting go of the lid for Sasha to struggle with.

"I can do that." He said to her.

Mila didn’t flinch away from his touch like before but didn’t have time to dwell on it. She pulled her hand away to call for a car once again, which may have already been on the way after the previously abandoned call.

“Goodbye.” She said softly to him with some finality in her tone.

"Mm, see you soon." Calloway said instead, still twitterpated as he went to gather his things and maybe catch up with Nolan for the sake keeping him away from the Nikitin siblings.

It had been a long day to say the least. At this point Mila’s family was on high alert, adults fussing and fawning over Mila and Sasha. Victor had been dragged home by Ace, much to his embarrassment as the wrestling team teased him on his way out. Sasha had been tended to, he was quite unhappy; perhaps particularly unhappy with Mila for allowing his assailant to escape. Remorsefully, Mila did deliver warm tea and cookies to his room as an apologetic offering. It didn’t make Mila feel better, so she didn’t expect for Sasha to feel differently. After being interrogated by the adults and saying goodnight to her brothers, she slinked into her room for the evening.

Her room looked like it belonged to a princess. A large canopy bed veiled with tulle curtains and string lights. The bed was dressed with an assortment of decorative pillows and expensive sheets, blankets embellished with ornate beading and embroidery. Everything from her furnishings to accessories was soft greys and blues and lilacs, white lace and porcelain, creamy marble and (fake) silvers. If Mila was a princess, her room was pulled straight from a fairytale. Which brought her great comfort and allowed herself to relax after the events that took place today. She took a long, hot bath and slipped into her silk pjs and plush robe, brushed out her fluffy hair and prepared to collapse into bed.

She was crossing her room, from her bathroom to her bed; rubbing in lotion on her wrists, making her smell of lavender and chamomile. Pausing by her window she decided some fresh air might be nice. Carefully, she climbed up into the perch of her bay window, resting on her knees as she reached to slide open the glass.

Calloway had gone back to the apartment he shared with his brother and father following the incident with the Nikitin siblings and gave a brief rundown (or rather, a lie) to Sullivan about what had happened. He was scolded for not being careful enough, chastised because he had insisted that he was capable of the job, but he took it all because as far as he was concerned it was worth it because he'd finally met the mobster princess, Mila Nikitin, up close and personal.

And she was beautiful and he had to see her again.

He took his lumps from his father and then set to patching up his self-inflicted wounds. Once that was taken care of, he changed and left under the house with the excuse of going to grab something to eat at the 7-11 a few blocks down from their apartment. Being that it was a household of men with the patriarch being a traditional "manly man", no one really knew how to cook in the house so it wasn't unusual to eat out or order takeout.

Instead of going to the 7-11, Calloway made his way back towards the Nikitin townhouse, stopping off to grab a little bouquet of flowers from a corner store. There was noticeably a bit more security buzzing around the building where he knew the Nikitins all lived, but being that it was his job to be discrete, it was no hard task getting passed everyone and heading to a back alley where he knew there was a series of drain pipes leading up and directly to the townhouse roost.

He clutched the stems of the flowers between his teeth as he hauled himself up the pipe, trying to ignore the mild stinging of his wounds as he did so. By the time he made it to townhouse level, his dark curls were undone from their usual pushed back style and clinging to his face. Just as he went to peek into the nearest window to start looking for Mila's room, he narrowly moved out of the way as it was eased open on him.

After opening the window Mila let out a relaxed sigh, her snowy lashes fluttered shut as she took in the cool night air. She was the type of person who needed to sleep with a fan on or the window open even if it was the dead of winter. Often resulting in lots of colds and even pneumonia once in her childhood. She hadn’t even considered she would see the hunter from earlier again, let alone he was climbing a drain pipe to see her.

Calloway clung to the drain pipe, bracing himself with one arm, while using his now free hand to grab the flowers. He went to say something to gain Mila's attention, but instead he found himself staring up at her, his words a mess in his throat. Again, he was stricken by how pretty she was.

"Like snow..." he murmured quietly.

Mila heard his murmur, her eyes opening at the sound. She glanced down at non other than the hunter from earlier. She gasped, cupping her hands over her mouth in surprise and scooting back some from the window.

“What are you doing here?” She asked in a harsh whisper, that didn’t sound all that harsh.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." Calloway said back, unable to resist a smile when he heard Mila's 'scold'. "I just wanted to make sure you got back alright. Oh, and to bring you these." He held up the flowers, a simple bouquet of daisies. "I didn't know what to get you. What kind of flowers do you like? So I know the next time."

Mila looked puzzled, but not upset.

“Why did you get me flowers?” She asked, but still reached out to accept the daisies.

PeanutButterGoddess · Joined: 25 Apr 2016 Posts: 7965

"Because, it felt like something I should do. To say sorry, to say I thought you were pretty, because girls like flowers." Calloway said, giving a stiff little half shrug as he clutched onto the pipe still.

Mila pursed her lips, the rose rising to her cheeks and quite visible on her pale skin. It was hard for her to stay mad, but she was trying desperately to do so.

“You look ridiculous down there, come inside, quickly but be quiet.” She said, waving him in and moving away from the window to give him room to climb up. She smelled the daisies, smiling about them to herself. She had never received flowers from a boy she wasn’t related to. Most boys who may have fancied her could never get passed Sasha.

"What? Really?" Calloway lit up, but didn't give Mila a chance to take back her offer as he scrambled up the rest of the drain pipe to crawl into the window.

Mila put her daisies on her vanity, she often got flowers for her room so it wouldn’t be uncharacteristic for them to be there or raise immediate suspicion. “Thank you for the flowers, and the apology...But I won’t forgive you easily.” She said, her arms crossed over her chest, trying her best to look like she meant business.

"Okay, well, what can I do to make things better?" Calloway asked eagerly as he scrambled up from where he'd gently tumbled onto the floor through the window.
