Mine sinful fall

Yesterday Vova and I got drunk. No, we got drunk out of our minds. He for a good reason, but me?

It seemed to me at first that what she said Masha not about me. But then I reconsidered and remembered yesterday’s words of the guy in the ambulance. Rostov Konstantin. Rostov? Why didn’t I pay attention to it right away?

Rostov Angelina and Rostov Konstantin. It all fits. Shit! What a fucking coincidence! I have not even seen Lena, do not know in person, but I already feel that she will hate me fiercely when she knows the whole truth. I didn’t say anything to Vova. And why should I? It’s not like I ran over her brother to death! He’s alive, and not badly hurt. But my conscience still gnaws at me. And I have to work with Rostova, to look her in the eye. What if she already knows that I was the one who was in the car? What if she’s been told and shown everything?

“Good morning, bro,” Vov wishes as he comes out of the bathroom. He is in a cheerful mood and frame of mind, unlike me.

“Hi.”

“We’re going to be late for work today. It’s 10:00.”

“We can’t be late. We’re the bosses, we’re late.”

” Lena texted me today at 9:00 to say she’s running late, too. She has to go to the hospital. I offered her a ride, and she surprisingly agreed. So we’ll just pick her up now, drop her off, and go to work.”

“No! ”

“No? Did you have other plans?”

No, but I didn’t want to pick up Lina and drive to the hospital, where I might be recognized. Certainly not today.

“Yes, I do. I’d forgotten. But I promise I’ll be there this afternoon.”

“What’s the matter with you? Vlad, is there something you’re not telling me?”

“No, it’s just…”

“Nothing ever happens in this life. Surprisingly, I didn’t have much of a headache after last night and no hangover.”

” That’s lucky. I have a headache. But I still have to go somewhere.”

“So let me give you a ride. And you can finally meet Rostova.”

Why is Vova so insistent? Why can’t he just fuck off with his help?

“You have to take Lena, and I have to take a shower and get dressed.”

-“Yeah, time’s running out. Okay, I’ll wait for you at the office,” Vova finally agrees as I head into the kitchen to put the kettle on.

“Apparently her little brother had a good time yesterday. Since he’s not being discharged. And he won’t be out anytime soon. Yesterday he got a superficial trauma evaluation, but today his vision’s starting to fail and his temporal lobe’s starting to go numb.”

Damn it! I don’t know what I’m in this for.

“This is not good.”

“Yes, Lina needs my support now more than ever. And let her try not to accept it.”

” I’m sure she will. See, the ice is already breaking. She’s already agreed to let you give her a ride. It only gets better from here.”

“She’s so unpredictable, I don’t know.”

” I’ll make you some coffee, and I’ll take a shower. Just slam the door behind you when you leave.”

“I have a key, remember?”

“Oh, that’s right, I’m getting old.”

“You’re not getting old yet. You still have to get married and raise a son”

“Yeah, and make sure to build a house and plant a tree,” he added, and then he hid in the bathroom.”
