Walking the beach with Czar was the most stressful thing ever. He kept complaining about the sand getting in between his toes and making it hard for him to walk, and every time I turned my head he was trying to push me into the water which was actually cold since the sun had gone down.

"Knock it off." I said as I kicked sand at him after he tried to push me in the water for the tenth time.

"It's just a little water." Czar said innocently.

I rolled my eyes at him and turned to look at the ocean. "It's beautiful here."

"Mhm." Czar said and suddenly he was shoving me in the back.

I fell into the ice cold water I started splashing around frantically "My hair!" I whined.

I knew that this would take forever to wash out. My hair didn't mix well with salty sea water and it would properly be dry for days.

Czar lifted me up out the water while laughing loudly, I was shaking and cold and also soaked.

"That wasn't funny." I said.

He continued to laugh at me and I crossed my arms, what a pain in the ass he was. But he took his jacket off and handed it to me so I could warm up. We began to talk back towards the hotel.

"So." Czar said. "What made you want to be a fashion designer?"

"When I was younger, maybe 9 or 10, my mother brought me a sewing machine. She had found me doodling dress designs one day and wanted to encourage me to follow that dream. It stuck ever since then."

"When I was ten I got my first gun." Czar said.

I turned to look at him, to see if he was joking, but his face was serious.

"Oh." I said.

He smirked. "Don't worry my parents didn't let me use it until I was 12."

I laughed slightly and Czar just smiled, I was starting to get even colder so I wrapped the jacket tightly around me.

"Sorry about pushing you in the water." Czar apologized.

"It's fine." I said as I tried to stop my teeth from chattering.

"I'm sorry that you're in this mess too, maybe one day after all this is over, you can find a guy who really cares about you." His Russian accent sounded a lot thicker than normal and he didn't look at me when he said it.

"And maybe you'll find a nice girl who got a gun at the age of nine too." I said while smiling.

Czar laughed slightly but didn't say anything else as we continued to walk back to the hotel. My whole body was shaking by the time we finally got to the hotel. Czar didn't waste any time walking over to the elevator and getting inside with me following close behind. The warmth of the elevator allowed me to warm up a bit and my teeth finally stopped chattering.

When we finally did reach the room I hurried to take a shower. I was annoyed because I had to re-wash my hair which smelled a lot like sea weed. Once was done I combed through my tight curls and blow dried my hair before pulling it back into a bun. I put on a plain white t-shirt and grey sweats and quickly brushed my teeth before walking out of the bathroom.

"You look comfy." I said to Czar.

He was currently laying on the bed scrolling through his phone with furrowed eyebrows.

"Any updates?" I asked.

"No, I was just checking with Anderi to make sure everything is okay back at home."

I sat down on the edge of the bed. "I miss Lada."

"I'm sure she misses you too." He said as he turned his phone off and put it on the dresser.

I flopped back on the bed and took a deep breathe before closing my eyes. Suddenly the bed dipped beside me and I could feel Czar breathing on my cheek. I opened my eyes and turned to look at him, he was closer than what I expected and his clear blue eyes stared intently at me.

"What are-"

Before I could say anything else he pressed his fingers to my lips and told me to shush.

"I just want to stare at you for a bit." He said lowly.

And so we laid there, staring at each other for what felt like forever. We didn't talk, we didn't move we just laid there, getting lost in each others eyes. Finally he moved closer to me, staring directly at my lips and without even thinking I smashed my lips to his.

The kiss was hot and heavy, our hands began to wonder over each other's body and before I knew it, Czar was on top of me. We kissed until our lips were sore taking very few breaths in between, and when I went to take off his shirt he instantly jumped off of me.

"We can't" he said breathing heavy. "I-I can't".

He ran his hands through his hair before heading towards the door.

"Don't go." I said.

But he ignored me as he walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him.
