After last night Kalina was not longer going to be be driving herself around which she was upset about. She could not help that she got a flat tire, at least a nice american boy DJ stopped and helped her. And her father might not show it but he approved him coming and explaining to. Of course that did not mean her father did not want her to friendly. He has seen how american boys acted and did not trust them around his daughter, he kept her very protected.
Waking up she got ready for her day, coming down the steps she headed into the dining room and did not see her parents. Deciding to ask the cook where they were since she knew the other servants would be there. "Good morning" she smiled walking in.
"Hello dear" the cook that came with them from russia said. Roza walked over and kissed her cheek. "I am glad you are here your mother wanted me to tell you that you and her father will be gone all day with business" she said. "Do you want something to eat?"
"Thank you Roza" she smiled. She loved the woman like she was a second mother. "I am actually going to see if a friend of mine wants to go get something to eat." With a last smile she turned and left the kitchen. Walking back up to her room she sat on the large bed and picked up her cell phone and dialed DJ's number and waited for him to answer the phone.

Despite his detour the night before, DJ was forgiven for being late with dinner. He said he had stopped to help a girl with a flat tire. He just didn't say she was smoking hot and the daughter of a Russian diplomat. Best to leave well enough alone.
He had gotten up and slipped into his gray jogging shorts sans undergarments and shirt. He did his usual morning ritual before starting his work out. He turned his stereo on and started some pulse pounding workout music. He started on the treadmill for about fifteen minutes before taking on the punching bag. He was a bit more gentle this time around. Although if he had known Jay had snapped pics of him with the girl, there would be trouble with a capital T!
Once finished he went to the weights, developing his legs. Anyone who ever saw him in shorts always admired his legs. He hadn't any idea his phone had gone off till there was a knock at his door.
When he opened it, there was his father with the same cockeyed grin DJ had sometimes. "Left your phone downstairs last night, got a call from a Kalina. Your damsel in distress last night?"
DJ could feel himself blushing. "Yeah you could say that, now if you don't mind pop-pop?"
His father just gave a nod and left his son alone.
"Hey Kalina, whats up?"

"I wanted to see if you would like to get breakfast with me" Kalina said. She slipped on her shoes after finding the perfect ones. "My mother and father will be gone all day on business. And it would just be me eating alone in the dining room which is no fun" she said. She did have others around but the servants were not allowed to eat in the dining room with them and now that she is a young woman she can no longer eat in the kitchen with the servants. She knew she might get away with it since her father was not home. But she knew she could not do that and feel like she lived up the standards here father sit for the family and she would feel guilty about that.
"If you are not busy this morning or have plans you have previouisly made" she added. She stood up and crossed to her closet and opened it up. She picked out her purse for the day and took it off the hook. She transfered her wallet and keys to the purse she was using and hung up the one from yesterday. Going over to the vanity the dropped in her lipstick so if she needed a touch up and a compact mirror. Her mother had taught her as a woman you never know when you need a touch up or anything.
"Of course I can not drive" she said and blushed. It was embarrssing saying that. "I could either meet you by having my driver take me to the restaurant or you could come and get me it is whatever you are comfortable with" she said. "Or you could come eat at the house I know Roza our cook loves to cook for people" she laughed. "Of course you would have to be rolled out of the house as you american say with all the food she makes" she teased.
"So really it is whatever you want to do" she smiled into the phone. She was glad he could understand what she was saying with her accent, some americans took awhile to understand her.

She was asking him out! DJ wasn't sure what to say at first. This had become almost like one of those dreams where a person goes to school naked and then there's a test they haven't studied for.
"Yeah. breakfast sounds great." He looked over his mostly naked body. "Give me thirty minutes, I need to clean up a little." Which consisted of a shower and a shave, something he normally did on Monday.
Once their conversation was ended, he did his shower and cleaned up quite nicely. He dressed in a royal purple button down short sleeved shirt, black jeans which framed his legs nicely and a pair of black slip on shoes.
He headed downstairs where his father was at the table reading the paper and his mother was in the kitchen baking her famous oatmeal raisin cinnamon cookies.
"I'm going over to Kalina's, she invited me to breakfast." He announced getting the car keys.
"A date? So soon?" His dad chided him. "Be careful son, if she's anything like this Trixie you talk about there could be trouble."
DJ grinned. "Kalina is only a friend, that's all. Nothing wrong with friends seeing each other."
Harrison just shook his head, he knew he had been DJ's age...years ago.
"One thing before you go Deej," his mother stopped him. "Someone needs to be fed." She indicated Doofus.
"I didn't forget Mom." DJ said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek. He got the dry dog food out and filled the Pug's dish. "There you go guy, be good and keep my dad out of trouble!" There was a bit of laughter from the kitchen.
--------------------------------------
He arrived at Kalina's a bit later, and was greeted by a stuffed shirt. The middle aged man went and retrieved Kalina.
DJ's jaw hit the floor now that he a good look at her. She was more beautiful than he imagined. "Wow, you look...amazing."

Kalina blushed and smiled. "Thank you DJ" she said. She put on her coat and grabbed her purse. "I will see you Demitri" she told the guy, he was not the butler he worked for them and sometimes if he was near the door he answered it. "Tell Roza to enjoy her morning and you to, take some time off" she said. She walked outside with DJ, "I am glad you were able to come to breakfast" she said honestly. "I do not like eating alone in such a large dining room it feels very lonely" she admited to him. Sure she had a life many girls wanted but it could be lonely since most people got intimdated by her father and did not stick around long enough to have a real friendship.
"I was thinking of eating at a what do you american's say, a all american place" she said struggling to fnd the right words. She just wanted to go to a place like that she could pretnend she was normal for even just a bit even though she knew she was not. "I am sorry if I am a confusing I sometimes do not find the right words" she told him as they headed toward his car. She was beginng to think that her and DJ could become really good friends, which would mean he was her first good friend in america. She wondered what her friends in Russia would think of him, some would like him and others would not. Of course the most important person's approval of the friendship was her father. "You did good with my father last night, you did not show your fear or else he would not of let me say good bye. That was his way of saying you can hang out with me" she smiled as she got in his car and put on her seatbelt.

DJ waited as Kalina said her goodbye's to the household help. He figured to her, it was like having family around. He held the door for her as she stepped outside once she was finished. "Just the idea of eating alone can be unappealing. It's nice to have some company around. My mother always taught that to me, meal time is family time."
"I know what you mean." He grinned. "This place has good atmosphere, huge portions of food, and its just fun to go to." As they reached the car he opened the door for her, once she was in he got in on the drivers' side. "I apologize for any dog hair you might find in here or if it finds you." He laughed a little as he started the car up. "I have to be honest, I felt like a little kid around him. He's very intimidating." DJ confessed to her. "I figured the best thing was to be honest with him, and the main thing is that I passed his test. I can't say I blame him for being protective though, I can see where most guys would get the wrong idea." He knew right off the bat that Jay would be one of those guys.

"Meal times are very different for me" Kalina admited. "It is either family time, or my time alone, or a event. We have had plenty of state dinners and various dinner parties" she said to him. She had such a different life then him growing up. And she wondered what he thought of her life, she did not know if she thought she had a dream life or if it was a bad life. It was neither really, it was complicated and complex. And it was not like anyone else's she knew but the other heads of state, the rich and famous, and those of Royal bloodlines back in russia. The rumor was she had royal bloodlines from both sides of her mother and father, she has never pursued looking though, but she might start. It would be very interesting to find out.
She was very glad DJ was understanding what she was saying and what she wanted to eat. She just hoped that she was not being to demanding because she did not want to be, that was just not the kind of person that she was. But she did admit she expected the best treatment from people and respect and give it back, but that was just her background and life. She always did get the best of the best and she was not bothered by that but the did not dictate her actions or her thoughts.
"My father apperciates the honesty" she said. "He respects a person that is honest and upfront, he is that way with people and ask for it in return. Of course if you get on his bad side that is very bad for you, he hold a lot of power back home and apparently here. But he does not like to use it to intimdate people to do what he wants. But for example if he thought you were bad example he would use his sources to make sure you could not come around me anymore, other then at school of course" she added. "Father does love me and does want me to find a nice respectable man to be with, one that understands my life is not normal and never will be along with respecting my family knowing we are a package deal. A guy dates me he is dating my family, and any amercian man has a lot to prove since Father has had some ideas for a future husband for me in other high ranking russian's back home."

"That would have to be hard. I mean not knowing if anyone would be around to eat with but at the same time I suppose the state dinners would be like a dream come true for many young girls. Getting to put on a fancy dress and getting made up. Just to be grown up for that brief time." DJ replied, turning on the windshield wipers. "I don't think I'd mind it once in awhile but all the time would get on my nerves, I think its the having to keep up appearances."
"Is there anything you'd like to do after breakfast? We could go to the mall or some thing. Again I leave this as your call, personally I don't have anything going on."
"Remind me to never get on your father's bad side, I wouldn't want to see what he could do." He seemed like the type who could turn a bear into a rug in a snap. He pulled into the lot of the diner as Kalina spoke of her father's wishes. He felt himself go pale. "Umm how would he feel about you just being friends with a guy?" He was slightly breathless. "I'm asking for my own sake, because, well, I sort of have a girlfriend already."

"You get used to life that way" Kalina said. "To me it is normal it has always been that way since I was a baby" she said honestly. To her yes it bothered her at times but she did not always expect her parents to be home. "I do love the dress shopping" she said and smiled. "And we make sure to have the family jewels that have been passed down generation to generation. A few I know have come from the russian's royals jewelry" she said proudly. "And so we always dress and act like royalty" she held her head up higher, she knew she had the air of a duchess with that move, she could not be a princess because of the fact that they no longer had czar's and czarina's in russia. She had a feeling if she did she would be very close to them blood wise. "I am in the public eye here and there so I have to behave and look my best, I do it for my family as to not dishonor them and cause my father upset, he is such a busy and important man I do not want to add to his stress."
"I have not really been to the mall" she said honestly. "My father worries with the crowd that the security could get lost in the crowd. But I would like to see it" she said with a blush. She hoped her father would not find out she went there of course she would not say she did. That way he did not have extra worry on his mind. "And I trust you that you won't let anything happen to me" she said with a smile. "I have only really been out to eat and school" she admited. "Other then that I am working or at home or busy with officaly business with my father and mother."
"He would not mind be freinds with a guy" Kalina said. "I was back home in Russia and I have friend in male models. Of course once he sees you do not want to get me into bed he will like you even more" she smiled. "My father wants me to date the right man and only the right man" she admited. "Which it will most likely be someone of his choice of course he might change his mind and let me date someone till he found the man for me to marry. I am sure it sound crazy to talk of marriage already but it is a important thing. I will more then likely end up marrying a man that is important as my father, connect to powerful families. I am not sure I will love the guy but I will do it for my father" she said honestly.
