Ivan was making dinner for himself when he heard noise coming from the fire escape outside his window. He opens the window and his eyes go wide when he sees a girl climbing towards him. He was frozen in shock.
Jinx blushed deep red and she looked back at Ivan in hopes for back up. “I think II’m okay with calling you Eva…” she joked with the woman and she looked down at the ground briefly, “I’m afraid I only just met Ivan a few days ago actually.” she brought up to Ivanka.
Eva lifts a brow. “Oh?” She pauses and leans forward. “Did he save you?” She asks in a quiet voice.
Her voice dropped into a beautiful whisper against the woman’s ear, “Yes” the word was full of warmth and sweetness. “I wouldn’t be here had he not been there” she added in sincerity. She pulled back and her bright platinum eyes looked over Eva’s face.
Eva nods. “Understandable. My son can’t help but help.” She shrugs. “I don’t know where he gets it from.” Ivan chuckles. “I like helping.” He looks at Jinx. “I’m going to become a police officer soon.”
Jinx stood back up and next to Ivan looking up at him. “I think you’ll make a great Officer” she spoke with a small smile.
“It’s quite nice to know others. To not be alone now” she spoke to them both.
Eva takes her hand. “Worry not. You’re practically part of our family now. You may spend as long as you want in our home.”
Jinx blushes making her soft olive toned skin even darker on her cheeks and she gives a small smile. “Thank you Eva” she spoke softly. Then looked to Ivan, “I guess she likes me” she joked.
Ivan nods. “Da.” He says before turning to his mother. “I’ll have dhe doctor come in so you can be discharged. Come on Jinx.” He motions for her to follow him.
Jinx nods and bows her head to Eva before following Ivan out. When they moved into the hall she breathed out “your mother seems very lovely” she mentioned.
He nods. “Yes, but I know she can be a little over dhe top.” He says with a little laugh.
Jinx laughs too. And looked at him, “Would I be good to date?” She asked curiously. Talking to Eva had brought the thought into her mind.
Ivan blushes. “Yes. I think so.” He says softly. “I think you’d make a wonderful date.”
“You think so?” She asked. Trying to get reassurance
He nods. “Of course.” He smiles.
“Well then I’m glad then, thank you.” She spoke with a small smile. She griddled with the hem of her sweater sleeves as they waited for Eva to be finished up.
Ivan sends a doctor to his mother’s room and then goes to sign her out.
Jinx waits quietly as people seem to bustle about the hall gliding in or out of rooms. Watching them all quite curious.
“Dhere. Now we wait her for dhem to bring my mother out.” He smiles, turning to Jinx.
She nods and gives a smile in return to Ivan’s. “And it’s sure to be okay with her we stay in the same bed? I know that’s what couples do in most circumstances. I can move to the couch” she pointed out.
He chuckles. “I’m pretty sure she’d endorse the idea of us being together.” He says his mother is slowly wheeled out to them.
“Yo I think so? Why? And not just because I’m a female….” she cut off her statement as Eva was brought out to them.
“I’m ready to go home.” She says with a smile as Ivan takes the wheelchair from the doctor. “Let’s eat out tonight. Like pizza.” She says happily. “What do you think, Jinx?”
“Well I mean I’m down for anything really…..I’ve never had pizza” she stayed with a small smile and followed next to Eva allowing Ivan to push her and she not be in the way as they made their way to the van.
Eva smiles. “Pizza it is!” She cheers. Ivan chuckles. “We’ll go to dhe one close to home dhen.” He smiles.
Jinx can’t help but laugh a bit at them both and their excitement. “Well I’m excited to try pizza!” She spoke and subconsciously she moved her hand and rested it on Ivan’s as he pushed the cart to keep herself close and attached to the two people.
Ivan smiles. “I think you’ll really like it. It’s so good, and it’s very common.” He explains. “And dhey have toppings too!”
“Well I most definitely trust your opinion I can’t wait!…we’ve had such a busy day and we still have those sweets we picked up to.” She added.
Ivan nods. “Right! We got you a tea cake!” He smiles.
The red head’s stomach growls and she put a hand to it. “Sorry…..all this food talk is making my hunger worse I think” she joked to them.
Ivan laughs. “Dhen let’s go get pizza!” He cheers, heading towards the car.
Jinx does what she can to help Ivan out with situating his mother before getting into her seat and rebuilding herself.
She peaks into the review mirror and sees Eva her eyes looked over the woman in curiosity.
Eva smiles as her chair locks into place before looking up and meeting Jinx’s eyes. “So, do you like my son?” She asks as Ivan jogs around the car to the driver’s side.
Jinx’s heart practically jumps from her chest at the question. She calmly responds “I don’t know if I can say to what degree but I can say I do like him. I’ve only known him a couple days though. He’s taken me in he’s bought me clothing and taken care of me….he defended me against a couple of the guards who came looking for me…..I think he’s amazing. He will make someone very happy” she spoke.
“I hope dat someone is you.” She says before Ivan opens the door and hops in. “So, How about Spartan Pizza?” He asks, starting the car.
Jinx glance back at the woman with a bright red blush to her face as Ivan stepped into the car. She tried to relax but suddenly it was quite hard to do.
“Da. Dat sounds delicious.” Eva says. “Great.” Ivan smiles as he pulls out.
Jinx smiles and gives a nod, as they drive. She replays her brief conversation with Eva over in her head. Her expression has even begun to settle into a look of concentration. Thinking it over. But they’d just met, how would Eva know she was good for him? What if she scares him or is a burden…..why am I thinking these things? She asked herself.
