Belarus
is
cleaning her entire house.
Sadik
wonders
if she needs help?
wouldn't expect a guest to help her clean, but would like some company. Also would enjoy the distraction.
wouldn't mind helping it would get the work done quicker.
looks at him. "Can you mop?"
nods. "I can."
hands him the mop and the bucket. "Are you sure you want to help me clean?"
takes the mop and bucket and nods again. "I wouldn't have offered if I didn't want to help."
"Dziakuj, I appreciate the help." heads back to cleaning the bathroom.
takes the mop to the back of the house to start there. "No problem." He soaks the mop, strains the water out of it and starts to mop.
finishes with the bathroom, checks where he is mopping and moves on to dusting. "Can you stay for lunch?"
Sadik
is
almost done mopping. "Is that an invitation?"
"Of course it is. I made borscht." is working on dusting her bookcases, the last thing she needs to dust.
finishes and stands at the front admiring his work. "I'd be more than happy to stay. Thanks."
"Welcome." Looks at her drying floor. "As soon as the floor is dry, I will warm up the soup. It's very nice of you to help me."
smiles and leans on the mop. "I thought it was some good quality time."
looks at him before testing the floor to see if it's dry enough to walk on. "You think housework is quality time? What do you consider _
sharing a meal to be?"
shrugs. "More quality time?" He laughs.
"The event is not important to you, being with others is what matters." steps onto the dry floor and walks over to the fridge to take out_
the borscht and warm it up for them.
nods. "Well, should it really matter what you're doing if you're with someone you like?"
pours the soup into a pan and sets it on the stove. "No, not if they are someone you really care about." pours them both glasses of kvas.
agrees as he tip toes over to her to watch the soup.
hands him a glass of kvas. "If I had a horse barn to clean out, you would do that just to spend time with me?" sips hers.
takes a sip from it. "Sure, as long as I wasn't doing all the work on my own."
"That wouldn't happen with me." takes another drink. "How about cleaning out Greece's horse barn, or Russia's?"
"Could I set fire to them instead? Is that an option?"
stares at him, lips twitch with amusement. "Only if we let the horses out first."
"I'd make sure the horses were out and then burn it to the ground...'accidently'."
"Accidentally, of course it would be an accident." stirs the soup. "This will be ready soon."
laughs. "Always, I would never do something so mean on purpose...noooo." He goes and grabs both of them bowls.
takes the bowls and fills them both with borscht. "this is one of the reasons why I like you, Sadiq."
laughs. "Because I pretend to not be mean?" He places both bowls on the table and places a spoon beside them.
takes the sour cream out of the fridge. "I like how your mind works." places that on the table and sits.
chuckles. "That's from many years of living and seeing way to many things for my own good." He wonders if there is anything else he can help
her with?
"Inspiration? Or a bad influence." smirks a little as she stirs sour cream into her soup and takes a taste.
follows her example and stirs the sour cream. "A bit of both." He smirks.
"Just enough of both to keep it interesting." eats her soup. "You have a perfectly devious mind, yet you are sweet and kind too."
tries the soup and immediately knows he loves it and will probably bug Belarus some time for her to make him some. "I like the way you
phrase that." He chuckles.
"I think it is accurate, don't you?" glances at him before eating more soup.
Sadik
is
enjoying the soup a lot. "Right on the dot, yes, very accurate."
watches him. "Would you like some more?"
smiles. "Yesss, this is delicious."
stands and goes to the pan, brings it over and refills his bowl. "I can never make a small batch, and I'm the only one here to eat it." _
puts another ladle of soup in her bowl and takes the pan to the stove.
Sadik
thinks
that's normal though. He finds it hard to make for one and usually makes quite a bit as well. "Well, I'm more than happy to help you." He
winks with a chuckle.
"It's nice to have someone to share it with." sits and stirs another spoonful of sour cream into her borscht.
eats this one plain this time. It taste just as good as if he had added the sour cream. "I can imagine. Eating along is a bit depressing."
"That's what being single means though, you do everything by yourself." eats another bite of soup. "All I have left to do is laundry, do _
you want to stick around while I do that?"
shrugs. "I can fold your clothes...unless they're the ones you don't want me to see." He chuckles.
"I have bedding you can fold, if you don't mind folding sheets and blankets. I am washing some personal stuff, plus some new clothes I_
recently bought."
"Yeah, that's fine. Not like I've never done it before."
looks at him, takes a bite of soup. "Is there anything in particular you would like to fold?"
shakes his head as he finishes his soup. "No, not really. Anything works for me."
takes his bowl when he finishes with hers and takes them to the sink. Thinks about the babydoll and the bikini in the wash. "Then I will _
let you fold whatever you are comfortable folding."
chuckles. "Maybe you should let me fold what you are comfortable letting me fold."
"Do you think I will be embarrassed if you see my underwear? I wear very cute underwear by the way." refills their glasses with more kvas.
shrugs. "I'm not sure if you will be but since you're talking about it and describing them to me I'm going to assume no."
"I won't be. Usually men act embarrassed by things like that though." carries her glass of kvas into the living room and sets it on a table
before heading into her bedroom to get her laundry hamper to separate the clothes.
follows her to the living room and takes as eat on the sofa. "Do I look like I get embarassed easily?"
shakes her head. "No, I really don't know what I could do to embarrass you." goes back for the shopping bag with the new things she bought_
to add to the laundry piles. Pulls out the bikini and the babydoll and tosses them in the piles she will wash them in .
watches her for a bit unsure if he should just jump in and help or let her get sorted out first.
fetches her laundry baskets and brings them back to the living room. Hands him two. Would you put one pile each into a basket, and carry_
them to the laundry room for me?"
takes the basket and nods. "Sure." He gets up places it down where he was sitting and grabs a pile of clothes before dumping it in the
basket and taking it to the laundry room.
carries two baskets into the laundry. "What if I were to behave very inappropriately in public, in front of important people. Would that_
embarrass you?" drops the baskets in front of the washing machine and puts one of the loads into it.
places the basket beside the other two baskets. "I think it would be more embarassing for you but is this a formal setting?"
"You're right, it would be ... yes. formal setting. Really, what does embarrass you?" adds washing powder to the washing machine and _
turns it on.
stops to think for a bit. "Probably getting caught in a compromising position or situation rather where I don't look like I have control?"
Belarus
thinks
about that, "I can't imagine you getting into a situation like that."
nods. "I really hope that never happens but if it does...I guess you'll see me embarassed."
shakes her head and walks out of the laundry room. "I don't want to see you embarrassed. I don't like seeing people I care about in_
compromising situations ... people I don't care about on the other hand .... "
chuckles. "Well, if it was someone I didn't care about I would probably find the situation amusing but you're right. I wouldn't want to see
anyone I care about in such a situation either."
"Then I doubt there is anything I could or would want to do to embarrass you, including let you fold my underwear."
laughs. "To tell you the truth I wasn't aware people actually folded their underwear."
stares at him. "I don't know about everyone, but I do." hears the washer beep that it's done, puts the clothes in the dryer and starts the _
next load (For times sake, I'm going to speed the washing part up a little)
( Haha, that's fine. I was like wow, that's quick. xD )
nods. "Well, I guess you'll have to teach me to fold them." He chuckles having only taken and discarded female undergarments on his floor
(Belarus wants to see Turkey fold her underwear and not blush while doing it. She's really curious if it's true he won't get embarrassed.)
rather then fold them.
"I can do that." starts the next load in the washing machine, which is the bedding. "Now I'm curious what the ratio of people who fold_
their underwear to people who don't might be."
laughs. "I'm sure most men don't." He waits for the bedding so he can start to fold.
"Hmm, I bet England and Germany do."
could see them folding them. "And Austria."
"Him too." hears the dryer beep. "Be right back." stands and walks to the laundry room to get the first load out of the washer, which is _
all underwear and other intimate items. Puts the bedding in the dryer and starts the next load of clothes in the washer.
can't help but peer into the basket curiously catching sight of some interesting items. "I'm pretty sure Japan would too."
looks at him looking in the basket, pulls out a pair of light blue panties with delicate lace on the waist and leg openings. "Want to learn_
how to fold?" holds them up to him.
Sadik
wonders
if he should take them. "Sure."
"Then you will need something to learn how to fold with." holds them closer to him.
delicately takes them. They were so small. He couldn't help but want to see how they looked on Belarus "Okay, so now what?"
takes another pair of panties out of the basket and lays them flat on the coffee table. looks at him. "First, do this."
watches attentively and then does it. "Like this right?"
"Like that." folds a third of the panty into the center, then overlaps with the opposite third. Looks at him.
manages to do it but very sloppily. Holds it up to her. "What do you think?"
"You'll improve with practice. We're not done yet." folds her panty into thirds again, so she has a nice, neat, square package.
Sadik
was
finding this more complicated then if they had folded the bedsheets. He does as hes shown but definitely needs practice. "Well, I guess I
can keep practicing."
"Yes you can." reaches into the basket and pulls out more panties, gives Turkey the panty that's covered in little blue flowers.
stares at them amused. "You girls wear the most interesting stuff." He says as he takes the pile of panties and places them down beside him
so he can fold them.
"Wearing underwear is interesting?" takes panties from the pile and folds them. "What should women wear?"
chuckles. "No that's not what I meant. I meant you have the most interesting things on your underwear." He holds up another pair with
flowers on them. "They all have interesting designs on them."
looks at them. She always picked underwear that she thought were cute. "I like to wear cute things. What do you have on your underwear?"
glances down at his pants. "Hmmm, good question." He shoves his hand into his pants and pulls out a bit of his boxers. They were black.
glances and sees where his hand went, then looks away quickly. "Uhm ... interesting." reaches for the last thing in the basket, which _
Belarus
is
the white babydoll she just bought i56.tinypic.com/wjwf9w.j...
quirks a brow at this. "So what's that for?" He had finished folding his pile of clothes.
"I bought it ... to sleep in I guess. When the weather's warmer." Folds it and sets it down. "The bedding is next. Be right back."
nods, he liked that she wasn't awkward about this. He knew so many females who would be horrified if he were to help them fold their
delicates.
Comes back with the sheets and blankets, sets the basket down. "This should be easier than my underwear."
Sadik
is
sure this will be easier than the underwear and actually was almost done folding most of them and was working on the last blanket.
with the bedding being done so quickly, they had some time to wait until the next load was ready to fold. "Since you were nice enough_
to help with my laundry, would you like to stay for supper?"
chuckles. "Well, now you're spoiling me but I'd love too."
"Okay. I'm probably not going to have anything really special. Draniki I think." hears the dryer beep and gets up to fetch it.
Sadik
is
sure whatever she makes will be good. He isn't worried at all. He leans against the washer waiting for her to come back.
returns with the next load. "One load left to go. This is just boring clothes like shirts and pants, nothing fun to fold like my panties."_
pulls out her new bikini as she says that.
stares at the bikini admiring it. "Planning on going to the beach? Maybe some Turkish beaches?"
"I was thinking one of the beaches on the Black Sea in my sister's country." folds it and sets it aside. "What beach in Turkey would you_
recommend.
nods. "Well, we have lots of beaches on the black sea as well and the Mediterranean but there is one beach in Daylan that I would definietly
recommend."
"Daylan, and what makes that place special?" Folds a T shirt.
"It's around a thirty minute boat ride to the actual beach where you can see many ruins from old civilizations and it's also surrounded by
beautiful vegetation and it's a turtle protection area."
"So it's really well maintained."
" Also, the village you'll be staying in is quaint but unfortuantely now that more tourists know about it it's become more busy but still
very nice to visit."
"Turtle protection area? That sounds neat." folds another T shirt. "Are they sea turtles?"
(( I meant Dalyan. Sorry realized I spelt it wrong. xD ))
nods as he continues to fold and pile them beside him. "Yes, the loggerhead sea turtles. They're an endangered species."
"I'll look into it. It sounds really nice, as long as it isn't too touristy yet." likes to find out of the way places for holidays.
Sadik
thinks
it's fairly out of the way since really the amount of Tourists that know about it is still pretty small.
"Understandable."
"Where do you like to go on holiday?" fetches some hangers from her closet for dresses.
shrugs. "Well it depends on what I'm feeling. Sometimes I like going to the mountains other times the beach."
"I don't have any mountains in my country. I think mountains are really pretty. My country is also land-locked, so I don't have ocean."
would hate if he were landlocked. "Do you have many visa restrictions when it comes to travelling?"
Only if you're my boss, his sons, and about 155 members of his government. Some countries in Europe have made it much easier for my people
to travel their countries.
wasn't that fortunate. "Well at least some countries have made it easier. I still have tons of visa restrictions. There are only a few
countries that I can go without a problem."
"That's too bad. It's a shame we can't go to each others countries without all the visa restrictions." folds the last pair of slacks.
nods. "It really is too bad."
"I don't know why Europe is like that, treats some countries less equal than others. This last load is the most exciting of all. towels.
"
shrugs. "I know why...towels are no problem at all!"
grabs a bath towel and folds it. "Towels mean that the laundry is done, now all I have to do is put it all away."
starts to fold them at a fairly quick pace. "Why don't you start putting stuff away and I finish folding?"
"That sounds like a good idea." grabs the basket of sheets and blankets and takes them to a closet in the small hallway.
folds until he's done and pokes his head out of the laundry room. "Where do the towels go?"
"There's a closet in the bathroom," points to the door in the hallway next to the closet door.
takes the pile of folded towels in his arms and goes to place them in their proper area. "Alright, towels are put away."
Belarus
is
already carrying the last two baskets to her room. "Just my clothes left." pushes her bedroom door open with her shoulder.
leans against the door frame of her room as he waits for her to finish.
puts the clothes away in her room, carries the baskets back to the laundry room. "All done, and thanks to you it's done in record time!"
smiles. "Well, we do make a good time." He chuckles.
"I never thought I could have fun doing household chores." walks back into the kitchen and brings out a bag of potatoes. "Ready to make_
draniki?"
smiles and nods. "Definitely and again good company fun times."
takes out a vegetable peeler, a large bowl and a grater. "Would you like to peel potatoes or grate them?"
"Grate."
places the bowl and grater in front of him, grabs a potato and quickly has it peeled before grabbing another.
Sadik
is
amazed by how fast she is and starts to work on grating the potatoes.
finishes that potato, grabs a third. "Do you cry when you cut onions?"
Sadik
is
extremely sensitive to onions. "Do I have to answer that."
puts down the peeler, done with the potatoes, fetches an onion, takes the skin off and sets down next to the peeled potatoes. "Grate that _
too please."
finishes grating the potatoes and stares at the onion before picking it up and holding it in front of the grater....this was going to be
embarassing but he would comply. With the first few grates he could already feel himself tear up.
comes back with salt, pepper and an egg. glances at him, then feels her own eyes begin to tear up. "Strong ... onion."
sniffs pathetically. "...tell me about..." He bites his lip as he keeps gratting it.
stops his hand when he has most of the onion grated, "I'll take that bit." wipes at her eyes with her sleeve.
does not object as he lets her take it.
puts the ungrated onion aside, then with another sniffle cracks the egg and adds it to the bowl then adds salt and pepper before mixing _
everything together.
turns around and pulls off his mask wiping at his eyes before putting it back on and watching her attentively.
glances at him, and then carries the bowl to the counter next to the stove. takes out a skillet and adds some oil to it.
goes to set the table.
sets another smaller skillet out, adds oil and chops up mushrooms and onions. tests the oil in the first skillet to see if the oil is hot.
finishes and wonders if there is anything else she'd like her to do?
finds the biggest spoon she has and begins dropping spoonfuls of draniki batter into the hot oil. Looks at him. "You can sit, if you want."
takes a seat. "Alright. If you need any more help just let me know."
"Just help me eat them." flips the draniki over and puts them on a plate, starts four more frying in the skillet.
"I can do that."
adds some of the mushrooms and onions from the other pan in the middle of the draniki, then flips one on top of the other and finishes _
frying them. Puts them on the plate and brings them over. "These over here are plain, these thicker ones have mushrooms in them."
Sadik
will
try both of them. "Alright." He takes one of each and waits for Belarus to join him.
takes the sour cream out of the fridge again, sets it on the table. Takes one of each and puts them on her plate. "Sour cream?" puts_
spoonfuls on her draniki.
shakes his head. "No thanks." He digs in enjoying the food.
spreads the sour cream around then takes a bite. "Mmm, draniki~"
Sadik
was
enjoying it greatly.
"Do you really like this? I think Belarusian food can be rather plain, compared to other countries' food."
nods. "It's really good. Different from what I'm used too but good."
"Sometimes I stuff meat into them too, but there was beef in the borscht." takes another bite, getting sour cream in the corner of her lip.
glances up from his food and chuckles pointing at the side of his lip. "You got some sour cream on you."
blinks, "Shto?" gets up and takes a paper towel and wipes it off, blushing a little. "Sorry." sits back down and eats another bite.
chuckles. "No big deal. It happens to the best of us." He finishes up his food and leans back in his chair satisfied.
eats her last draniki, then sits back. "I am full, that was good. Once again thank you for helping me. We ate twice as soon because you_
helped with the cooking."
smiles. "The cooking was repayment enough. Thanks."
Belarus
thinks
. "I have some cookies, if you would like something sweet, or perhaps some tea?"
glances at the time and frowns. "I actually have to get going pretty soon. I'll help you clean up but then I have to be off."
"Ah, I understand. You've spent the day with me already." Stands and begins clearing the table.
pickes up some of the dishes as well. "Actually, I have a meeting with my Prime Minister."
"Oh. My boss is on a skiing holiday in Sochi." carries the dishes to the sink.
"Lucky him. My boss doesn't take many days off."
"My boss loves taking expensive skiing holidays to expensive resorts with about 30 to 40 people and spends weeks having lavish parties."
cleans the dishes and drys them. "Why?"
"Because he can? He's the richest man in my country. He has 15 bodyguards with him. They ski in a triangle around him."
thought that was pretty silly. "That's ridiculous if you ask me. Anyway, I had a great time. We should do this again sometime." He smiles.
nods. "I really enjoyed it too. We didn't do anything but work and eat." looks at him.
chuckles. "But we did do something. Maybe next time we can do something that's less work in that case." He leans down and kisses both her
cheeks. "I'll see you later."
blinks at the kisses, gets on her tiptoes and gives him a peck on the lips. "See you later."
