CrimeBoss!RussiaxBellrina!Reader: Our Dance CH4

A loud bang on the door of your bedroom startled you awake.  Sitting up fear started to over come you again.  Had Ivan found out where you lived and was he planning on finishing you off for real.  Pushing yourself against the headboard of the bed you looked at the door as knob started to move.

“_______, are you up?” Lev asked from the other side of the door.  Relieved you let out a deep breath.

“Yeah I’m up.” you called out.

“Good, breakfast is ready.” he informed you before walking away from the door.

Climbing out of bed you opened the old wooden window shutters.  Your _____ eyes looked out at the large property around the old house you lived in.  The yard was overgrown and messy.

“Better get dressed.” you mumbled to yourself before closing the window again.  You quickly putting on a pair of jeans and a simple black shirt before going downstairs.

Walking downstair you walked into the dining room.  There was a stack of dirty dishes in the sink.  Only a single plate of eggs, bacon and toast with a cup of milk still on the table.

“Well, the kids must be headed to school.” you said to yourself looking at the meal plated for you.

It was clear to you that Lev had do the cooking.  He had a very simply and cheap style of cooking.  Something the children didn’t enjoy; they all prefered when you cooked meals.

Sitting down at the table you looked up at a clock and noticed it was after six in the morning.  Normally you would’ve been up around five.  It normally took you an hour to get the children ready and another hour for you to walk to work.

“You’re going to be late for work.  I can give you a ride into town if you want.” Lev said walking into the room.  He was dressed in his work uniform.  He had multiple jobs in different cities.  Today he had a shift as a security guard in a neighboring city.

“Sure, you can just drop off at the city limit.” you said finishing off your meal.  

“Let me go get my clothes.” you said placing your dish in the sink.  You quickly flashed a smile at Lev before running upstairs.

In your bedroom you grabbed your work outfit placing into a black tote bag.  Running back downstairs you met up with Lev who was waiting at the door.  His pale green eyes was looking at the watch he was wearing.

“Ready?” you as as Lev ran his hand over his shaven dark brown hair.  

“Yeah.” Lev replied opening the front door letting you exit the house first.

Once in the family’s old blue pickup truck you felt safe knowing you wouldn’t have to walk into town.  Since your home was located a few miles outside of the city limits it normally took you nearly an hour to arrive to work.  

Normally walking to work was enjoyable for you.  The peaceful nature surrounding helped bring you to a relaxed mood before having to dance for hours under the stress of your boss.  But after what happened yesterday you no longer felt safe.

‘---------------------’

Finally reaching the city limit you got out of the truck.  You waved goodbye to Lev as he drove off.  With a sigh you turned and headed into town.  There were few people walking around town which made you feel safer.  Making your way through the city you noticed people talking and going about their lives.  None of these people knew what happened the day before.

Walking up into the dance studio you saw your fellow dancers all getting ready for a full day of practice.  Waving at your fellow dancers you made your way to the large changing room.  Once in the dressing room you quickly changed into the uniform.

Once on stage you stood quietly next to your fellow dancers.  Mrs. Nadeen paced across the floor while looking at all the dancers.

“I wanted to inform you all that there will be a fundraiser on next week.  There will be an private performance for our investors.  Afterwards there will be a cocktail event and every one of you must attend.” Mrs. Nadeen said as her icy blue eyes stopped on you.

“________ I need to have a word with you after practice today.” the old woman said with a stern voice.  Without a word you simply nodded.  

Of course the first place your mind went to was Ivan having of his men call your job.  ‘Did they say something to Mrs. Nadeen?  I hope she isn’t going to fire me I really need this job.’ you thought to yourself as everyone was dismissed.

‘-----Dancing------’

After changing back into your everyday clothes you went into Mrs. Nadeen’s office.  She was looking over papers which you guess had to do with one of her upcoming shows.

“_______ I understand Lev works a job at night so you have to be home with the children late at night.  But next week I need you to be here for the fundraiser.  So as much as you know I dislike having children at my events I’ll allow you to bring your little ones.” Mrs. Nadeen informed you.

Your eyes widened it was rare of her to do such things.  ‘Some really important people much be coming.’ you thought to yourself as Mrs. Nadeen handed you a card.  Looking down at the smooth black card you realized it was the card for Mr. Jaris’ clothing store.

“You’ll need to bring you little ones with you to get outfits.  I need all of you to express wealth.” Mrs. Nadeen said standing up from her desk chair.  As she opened the door you followed her.

Walking through the door Mrs. Nadeen started to speak again.

“One more thing _______ make sure you have the children on their best behavior.  Don’t make me regret this.” she said seriously.

“Of course.” you simply replied causing her to smile.

‘---------------------’

Standing in the lobby of the dance studio you waited for your best friend to arrive.  The minute ticked by while you waited quietly for her silver car to park in front of the building.

As time passed you were thinking about the event taking place a few days from now.  ‘I shouldn’t have to worry about the girls behavior but Alexei might be a handful when he’s bored.  I’ll just have to make sure to have a serious talk with him.’ you thought while running your fingers through your hair.

Your mind quickly changed to the subject of what to wear for the event.  Money wasn’t something you could splurge on buying the newest fashion.

If you wanted to be completely honest most of the clothes you owned were pre-owned outfits bought from a cheap bargain store.  The rest of your wardrobe were Tatienne’s old outfits.

The sound of a honking horn brought you back to reality.  Looking to the street you could see Tatienne in her car with three children in the backseat.

Getting into the car you looked at the backseat at the faces of the children you loved deeply.  

Turning your attention to Tatienne you smiled thankfully at her.

“Thanks so much for picking them up.” you thanked the red haired woman.

“No problem.  It's not everyday Mrs. Nadeen gives free gifts to her performers.” Tatienne smiled excitedly as she started to drive off in the direction of Mr. Jaris’ store.

‘--------------------’

On the car ride through town you explained to the children what was going on.  Not surprisingly the girls were excited at the thought of seeing you dance.  

The only time they ever seen you dance was around the house.  Both of them found the thought of you wearing beautiful costumes amazing and magical.

Alexei on the other hand didn’t care in  the less.  He would much rather stay home.  It wasn’t surprising since he always had a loner personality even as a young toddler.

“Can’t I just stay home?” Alexei muttered as the car came to a stop.  Parking in front of brick building with display windows showing off the beautiful colored gowns and slimming suits.

“No, Alexei not by yourself.” you answered getting out the car before opening the back passenger door.

Donika and Lidah ran to the display window gawking at the lavish dresses.  Alexei leaned against the car disappointed.  His arms crossed over his chest as he scowled until his eyes lite up with a thought.

“But Grandpa Ravil suppose to be home by then.” he reminded you.

‘I forgot about that!  If Papa is going to be home by then he could watch the kids.’ you thought realizing it could lower the amount Mrs. Nadeen’s money you had to spend.

“How about you girls.  You wanna stay home too?” you asked already knowing the answer.

“No! We wanna come see you as a princess.” Donika answered as Lidah nodded agreeing with her sister.

‘Of course.’ you smirked to yourself.

“Okay, well Alexei you can stay home.  Come on we still need to pick out dresses.” you said opening the door of the clothing store.
