Chapter Fifteen

Serge

My leg wouldn’t stop shaking the entire subway ride from the Upper East to Brighton Beach. Grandma wasn’t expecting me, but I was hoping that she would be happy to see me after I told her the news.

She was going to be mad. No doubt about it. But telling her I was going out of town with my girlfriend... that was an even bigger deal.

Babushka would demand to meet her as soon as we got back, and I wasn’t sure what I would do about that, because I wasn’t going to bring a client home to my grandma, but there was also no way I would not go to Bora Bora with Adele.

I’d just take the consequences as they came.

When the house door opened, she looked at me with a look of surprise that quickly morphed to worry.

“What is the matter, my little kot?” she asked, ushering me in.

I stood in the small entry, kissing her cheeks and holding out the flowers I’d brought for her.

She eyed them.

“What did you do?” she asked now, suspicious.

I just laughed.

“I’m not allowed to bring my babushka flowers on a random Tuesday afternoon?” I asked her, pressing the bouquet into her hands.

“No, you’re not,” she said wearily.

“I have to tell you something,” I finally said, not wanting to drag it out.

“And what would that be,”

The colorful silk scarf on her head really brought out the pretty flush of anger on her cheeks.

She knew what was coming. Somehow, she knew.

“I’m not going to be in New York for Christmas,” I blurted out, and her face went from anticipating anger to full blown oh shit mad.

“Then where will you be?”

This was harder than I’d expected.

“My girlfriend and I are going to Bora Bora for the holiday.”

So many things flashed over her face at those simple words.

But finally they ended in overwhelming joy.

“Girlfriend?” she shrieked. “Why have you not told me you had a girlfriend?!”

“It’s still really new, Babushka… We just want to get away from work and the cold and...I don’t know. We want to see where things go.”

Not all of my reasoning was a complete lie.

I did want to get away from work, and I did want to see where things went. And getting out of the cold and into tropical heat sounded pretty damn good after the chilly walk I had from the subway station.

Grandma looked at me with a scowl before nodding.

“I will forgive you if you bring her here. We'll go to church together. She is a good, Russian, Orthodox girl, isn’t she, Sergei?”

I winced.

“She’s a good woman, and you would like her.”

“Then she comes. The Sunday after you get back.”

How did I agree to that? There was no way Adele would come along to church with my grandmother and meet her, which really meant suffering through babushka’s interrogation.

“I’ll ask her,” I supplied and it seemed to satisfy her.

“Now, it’s too late to go home. My boy stays for dinner, yes? I’ll make something. You will stay tonight, yes?”

Shit…

After bailing on her for Christmas though, it’s the least I could do.
