But I sometimes go for a drink alone (rarely), or for a walk (to stargaze) so I have a lot of time to reply :P
Oh indeed! I love her :3 she's cute.

I actually like it, although it's still too bitter for my taste. Maybe I put in too little sugar >.<
And I was alone, waiting for my friends to arrive :P

Indeed, I think it's a challenge worthy of our skills ;) aww, you really think that? I think you write great yourself~ <3
It depends a lot on the speaker. Sometimes, when an older man is speaking, it's frightening, while it can be extremely seducing when spoken by a girl :)
Oh and btw, my phone will die now, so I barely managed to post. Just so you know why I haven't replied to your PM :3 and I'm drinking white coffee right now~~~

He watched her sit down and then ask for permission. Indeed, he didn't mind it and gesticulated as much. But he remained on his feet. "A life of a beautiful lady is surely more important than mine." He said what she probably wanted to hear. Some sweet music for her ears. "Make yourself at home." He smiled as a sense of relief came to his heart. She did something that was smart, but not smart enough.
Evading the topic was smart indeed. Better not to say anything if you don't know what to say. But it also gave away a sense of confusion. If she was so fearless, she would have kept pressuring him. However, she did seem to be quite a negotiator, trying to use her body to gain advantage ever since their first interaction. Although he didn't mind wining and dining a lady, there was a certain thing that kept his head clear, even when he had such a sight to behold. He could've taken the bait and enjoyed this lady in every sense. Women are to be used. Eaten up and used... Nikolai's words echoed in his head. The thought made him sick. Never in his life did he succumb to such thinking. Of course, to use people was what he did. But to use someone merely for his primal urges was animalistic. And not profitable. That would only bring problems in the long run.
He licked his lips, but only after her sentence. He was more than satisfied getting down - to business. "The main question is... what do you want?" His analytical glare followed her movements. "Not with me, mind you. Rather here, in this city. In this country. You are not Russian and we both know it." He gave her a kind smile. A true negotiator lets the other party speak first, giving them a false sense of control over the negotiation.
"I am sure you want something more than just a guy to satisfy your most primal... urges." He finally returned her that wink from before.

If this was some anime, it would've been some super cute scene~ I can already imagine a drawing of that :33
I understand that completely, Aleks will probably to some things in near future that will put me to shame completely :P Oh yeah~ Have you ever heard someone speak Russian in real life? I once heard a girl speaking and it sounded really good :P

I know that. I admit that... the thought popped into his mind as she spoke. For a single moment he spaced out, remembering a certain name from his past. It lingered in his mind for just a moment before he pushed it away. He was getting pretty interested in this woman, she talked like she was everywhere and seen everything. But in the end, a name left her red lips. Lilith. It echoed in his mind.
Lilith. When someone calls you by a demon's name, you can be pretty sure that person is worth that name. He'll have to remember that there was probably a good reason he called her Lilith and not some other demon name. He could almost see the demonic resemblance as he inspected her figure. Demonically beautiful. If she was indeed the one from the newspapers, well... it was no surprise that she managed to seduce both men. But to be dressed like that while the temperature was like this - she must have had some similar intentions with Aleks. The thought flattered him just enough to boost his confidence and not make him over-confident. "No... Lilith," he answered as he took one more good look at her figure, before proceeding to lean on the same wall as before.
"You are not supposed to know who I am." When compared to the people he worked for, he was indeed nothing but livestock. A piece in a much bigger complex game. And he was just one of the pawns. But life is not a game of chess. In life, even pawns can become kings - and kings can become livestock. "People live and people die. Any person, no matter how dangerous, can be killed. Therefore, I understand someone like you will not fear me, no matter what my life experience says." He did not know what someone like her was, but that doesn't mean he had to be direct about it.
"On the other hand... The people I work for," He begun once again. "You may not be interested who they are as living beings, but their organization is an entity in its own realm."
"Japan has Yakuza. China has Triads. Italy has Cosa Nostra. And we have Bratva. Money and power is all they care about and no fear exist in their kind. They were breed for war." Aleks intentionally used words that could describe dogs, it was really lucky that he knew what Lilith really disliked. "What I want to say is - getting you not to kill me was me doing you a big favor, because they wouldn't kill you in return. They would want you to fill in my place and the methods they would use... you wouldn't like them."

Maybe he should’ve felt more attracted to the woman, seeing as how beautiful she looked even under such conditions. No - he was attracted to her, but there were always higher priorities. Now it was just the two of them and this was his territory. He was quite sure she thought about it, considering she wasn’t the one to initiate interaction like before. He moved in front of her, debating whether or not to move those few stray strands out of her hair. In the end, he didn’t do it. Instead he went further into the room, swiftly opening the far end drawer and taking a towel out of it.
Those moments passed in silence. Aleks didn’t say anything as he returned to stand in front of the woman, gently putting a towel over her head. It covered her eyes for a moment and he used that to circle around her and put his hands on her shoulders. “Your coat, lady.” He waited until she moved just enough for him to take the heavy, soaked piece of clothing and put it away. It was a relief that she didn’t attack him right there. Maybe she did hear his bluff about cameras and was careful about it. Good... And, having the opportunity, he deliberately positioned the coat over his hands in a way that he could feel if there was anything in her pockets. It didn’t seem so.
Turning back to the woman, he finally opened his mouth. “Since I am being a polite host, you could at least introduce yourself.” He wouldn’t ask for her intentions straight away, because that was a prescription for a completely different kind of reaction. Those who liked to be in charge hated being interrogated. So, his best bet was to start with a few friendly sentences and then build from that.
“I’d presume you know who I am, but since you were so blunt about assaulting me… I get the feeling that you don’t. My name is Aleksei Titov. Rings any bells?” She wasn’t from around here, that much was certain, but at least he could check to see how much she knew about the food chain here.

I know, right? I picked it exactly because it looks so plain and normal from the outside. Such a contrast ^.^
It was only a glimpse of weakness that he noticed when rain was mentioned - although it was so vague it might have not been a weakness at all. He was satisfied noticing it, though. There was a certain feeling in his gut, that became even stronger as the woman disappeared from the sight. He didn't question her methods, not yet at least. This way it would be much easier getting to his apartment. He didn't even look around, but merely fixed his clothes and focused on getting back home. "To the west. AdmiralteyskI kanal, 31." He whispered in the air before moving out. She was listening.
There was no need to take any sort of public transport. He had more than enough energy to walk. Indeed, a lot kf unknown aspect considering this woman made her a dangerous adversary, but a potentially powerful ally. He took his cell phone out and dialed a number as he walked home. "Aleksei reporting in, sir. Yes, everything is taken care of - Lev will not be a problem anymore." He sighed as the man on the other lines stopped talking. "Thank you, sir. I will make sure to report any future development. Of course." Aleks muttered something out asthe line went dead, but he kept the phone to his ear. "Yes. The surveillance camera has been fixed, do not worry. Thank you. Good night, sir."
Never trust a person with golden eyes. Of course, he had to report his success to Nikolai, but in case the woman was close enough to eavesdrop, it wouldn't kill him to take some more precautions. And honestly, he was interested in seeing how she'd react.
With the call out of the way, Aleks soon found himself in front of the building and, moments after, in front of his door. The key slid in smoothly and the door safe, dry haven opened. He entered the hallway, immediately taking his coat off. One sleeve got wet while he tried covering the girl. He made himself comfortable as he fixed his black shirt. It fit him almost perfectly.
He deliberately left the door slighly ajar, welcoming the woman in. Fixing his hair, he leaned on the wall and waited for his guest.
