The Romanoffs

Chapter 37.

He leans closer to Veronica hovering just above her mouth, their lips a mere inch apart.

"Want to find out yourself koshka?" {kitten}

Veronica stands there with the same dumb fuck look Franco had not too long ago.

"Behave Franky you're supposed to be the good boy!" I gently push him away from Vee.

"Says who gorgeous? Remember I'm-"

"A Romanoff after all." We both laugh, then Nadei's cologne lingers around me.

He positions himself behind Vee and me with his arm around my waist.

"Good morning nephew, girls"

"Good morning uncle, sorry to wake you but breakfast is being served" Franco completely unfazed by Nadei standing in just his boxers behind us. 

"How about you girls go get breakfast I'm sure you're starving after last night" he softly kisses my forehead.

"Yes sir," Veronica responds while staring right at Franco who smiles.

"Yes, daddy" I lean back and softly kiss Nadei before grabbing Vee's hand and following behind Franco.

"Shut up here comes Franco"

"Why does he have a smile on his face?" Jillian peaks over to an amused Franky rubbing his lips while walking down the hall.

Franco pulls out a chair and winks at his brothers who see Vee and I walking hand in hand.

"Good morning everyone" Gerald pulls out the seat beside him and hands me my coffee.

"Morning Malishka." Gerald looks at Vee sitting beside Franco and smiles. "Sleep well?" He jokes.

"Oh, Nicole and I slept like babies" Vee purposely leans over Franco to grab the furthest pitcher of juice possible letting her robe slip slightly, Franco leans back in amusement while placing his hand on her lower back.

"I hate it here" Nikolai rolls his eyes while
Pouring Betty juice.

"BETTY YOU'RE UP! How are you feeling hun?"

"Confused" Betty laughs while looking around the table.

"Oh! Right Betty this is my friend Veronica from Miami. Vee this is Betty"

"Morning gorgeous" she winks at Betty and Nikolai places his hand around her waist.

"Don't think about Vee"

She rolls her eyes unamused by Nikolai's machoness.

"Oh honey please you aren't my type, but your girl sure is"

"Anyways.....before my brother blows a fuse. Veronica, what brings you up from Miami?"

"Oh yeah, I never asked gitana. Everything alright in Miami?"

"Oh yeah, same old same old you know. Esme just sent Miguel and me to follow up on one of our competitors who seems to have fled Miami after we caught him hijacking a shipment of ours."

I drop my mug down onto the table.

"Malishka are you ok?"

"VEE MIGUEL WAS NOT MENTIONED BEFORE!"

Veronica's brother Miguel, the only man to get under my skin while also setting it on fire. Vee can't help but burst out laughing knowing the past her brother and I shared.
