Irina's point of view:

To say today was fun was an understatement. I had the best part of my life today.

Immediately after we left the café, we went inside the mall. The first section we went to was the restaurant there. I had my breakfast one a delicious Russian dish called syrniki.

I was never a fan of the meal at home while I was in my parents house but after eating it here, I fell in love with it instantly. At least, this is the first time I am not eating homemade food. I ate out for the first time in my life.

Loana couldn't eat much because she already had breakfast but I ate all of my portion.

I have to because I don't know when I will be able to eat it since I don't know how to prepare it and most of the Russian dishes.

After the restaurant, we went to the boutique area. She made me buy numerous dresses, especially lingerie. She brought at least ten sets of lingerie for the both of us. I was embarrassed at a point in time because we were not the only ones there, there were a lot of women seeking dresses to buy. Loana didn't even mind that, she is just shamelessly picking clothes that will make her look sexy for Ruslan. 

"We are done here" She said to the attendant. She held me by my hand and literally dragged me to the show and bag area. 

"You don't have to do this" I said to her knowing that I don't have money with me. 

My credit card is at home. I didn't have any mode of payment here with me.

"Don't worry. All bills on me" she said as if she read my mind.

"They are too much. The bills will be much for you to take care alone." I tried to convince her. 

"It is like you don't know that you are talking to a millionaire." She boasted.

"Wow!" I managed to say.

"Yeah, I think this nude stiletto heels match that long dress I picked for you. And this blue one here will go well with the white dress. You know what, let's just take everything here for her. I love them all." She said to the attendant. 

I spent thirty minutes in the shoe area, the same time was spent in the bag section. I can't even use all these bags she is picking for me. Gosh! I already have her as my sister in law. She can't be returned to God.

After buying almost all the stores, she paid for the items and staffs at the boutique helped us in carrying our goods to the cars. My stuff is way more plentiful than hers simply because I have to be attractive to my husband. No to forget that she brought me a makeup kit with a lot of cosmetics there.

Something that I can't even use.

After the boutique, we brought ice cream. I had a mint ice cream for myself and she brought a strawberry flavored ice cream. After devouring it, we went to the amusement park outside the mall.

I shamelessly entered all of the things in the amusement park regardless of my age.

I entered the roller coaster, the flat rides, transport rides, the water rides and the ferris wheel. I was not able to do more due to the fact that I was tired.

My rides were nice although it was dangerous and scary but I summoned my courage to ride them all and I would love to come and ride them again.

We left the amusement park around after four, to have roadside burgers. After that, she decided to call it a day.

To be sincere, I love and enjoy my time with loana. She is an amazing lady. I never thought she would be as nice as this considering the fact that her brother is the second commander of Lucifer. I love her already and I would love to go out with her more often. She is someone you will want to spend your entire day with. A person who you always crave for her company.

She helped me cheer up today and I am so happy. Atleast, I forgot about my sorrows for a while, all thanks to her.

"Thank you for today, I really enjoyed myself" I told her as we went out of the mall.

"It's okay, let's hang out more often." She said with a broad smile on her face.

"Of course. Seriously, I never thought I could enjoy myself the way I did today. Thank you. You are nothing like I thought you will be. You are the opposite of your brother" I confessed.

She bursted in laughter.

"There will always be water to any fire. Let's say I am water while he is fire. Don't worry he will change." She assured me.

"Hmm." I was not sure of what to say.

We walked to her car. I was surprised to see Ruslan standing beside the car while he rested his body on the car. He looks hot as always. He is dressed in office attire with a spec on his face.

Loana rushed to him and they kissed themselves. I walked to where he was standing not knowing what to do. I am supposed to be mad at them all. They haven't even called me since I got married to that jerk. They think it is okay to neglect me at my husband's house, right? They totally forgot about me.

After releasing her, He finally got to notice me, I just became visible, right?

"I was expecting a bone crushing hug from you though" he said to me with disappointment.

"And why would I?" I asked him.

"Come on, don't you miss me?" He dramatized it.

Of course I do miss you, dumb ass. I miss all his craziness. I miss everything, I miss everyone and most especially I miss home.

"Of course not, I am not. In Fact I have forgotten ever since I got married." I lied.

"Really? You forgot about your own brother? I know you can't do that. You must be upset about something. You leave me a way to forget about me." He said.
