Talk about

"Come on princess, it's time for bed now" said Dom as he carried Joy and he tucked her in.

"Do you want me to read you a story?" asked Dom as he smiled and he looked at Joy as she shook her head.

"Why not princess?" asked Dom as he was surprised, she always loved him reading her bedtime stories, even though he had not been able to do so for a long time now since he had been busy.

"I don't want you to read me a bedtime story Daddy" said Joy as she shook her head.

"Well then princess, what do you want?" asked Dom as he smiled and he pinched her cheeks.

"I want us to talk Daddy" said Joy as Dom was surprise by the mature demand of his little princess, felt like laughing.

"Okay princess, what do you want us to talk about?" asked Dom as he bent down beside her bed, if they were going to talk, he had better get comfortable.

"I don't know" said Joy as Dom laughed, his little princess was really something, she wanted them to talk, and yet she did not know what they should talk about.

"You really are handful my princess" said Dom as he laughed and he poked her nose as Joy giggled.

"Alright Princess, since you don't know what to talk about, let me get the conversation going then" said Dom as he smiled and Joy nodded her head.

"So my princess, how are you?" asked Dom as he smiled.

"Good" replied Joy.

"Only good?" asked Dom as he took Joy's little hand in his, he remembered how when she was born, he was always scared that he was going to crush her if he was not careful enough with her.

"Hmm, I am good, and also very happy daddy" said Joy.

"Why are you happy princess?" asked Dom as he smiled.

"Well because mommy is coming home soon, and then I can see her, and hug her, and kiss her" said Joy as Dom smiled, he was also happy that Natasha was finally coming home, he could only rest at ease once she was back home here with them.

"I am also happy princess" said Dom as he smiled.

"Really?" asked Joy as he smiled.

"Of course princess" said Dom as he smiled.

"Daddy, what do you and my uncles talk about?" asked Joy out of curiosity, she doubted that they talked the same way that she and her daddy did.

"Ahh well we talk about many things" said Dom as he smiled.

"Like what daddy?" asked Joy.

"Well we talk about work, about family, and about many other adult things as well" replied Dom as he smiled.

"Daddy, what are adult things?" asked Joy.

"Aren't you just very curious tonight my princess" said Dom as he ticked Joy and she giggled, she asked way too many questions, sometimes Dom wondered if he could answer them all, he always tried his best to.

"Well princess, adult things, is nothing for you to worry about now, it's what we adults worry about, and we can handle it" said Dom as he smiled.

"All you have to do is keep on being cute and adorable, and go to sleep" said Dom as he smiled and Joy yawned, she was getting sleepy now.

"Daddy…" called Joy.

"Yes princess?" asked Dom as he smiled.

"Daddy, do you love mommy?" asked Joy as she yawned once again and she rubbed her eyes, but Dom still heard her question, and he did not know if he could answer her, the thing was that he himself did not even know the answer to that question, he had mixed feelings about Natasha, but he did not hate her not at all.

"Do I love your mommy?" asked Dom as he repeated the question and Joy nodded her sleepy little head.

"Well princess, the thing is…" said Dom as he took a pause, and he saw that Joy had finally fallen asleep, and it made him smile.

"Goodnight my curious little princess, and have sweet dreams" said Dom as he smiled and he gave Joy a kiss on her forehead as he adjusted her sleeping position and he walked out quietly out of her room as he switched off the lights and he closed the door lightly behind him.

Dom sighed, well he had been saved there by Joy falling asleep, those were one the of questions she asked that he just could not answer, out of concern of her own good, if he was to say no, she would ask him why, and he would not be able to tell her why.

And well he could not say yes, because he did not want to be lying to her, it would break his heart for him to give her false hope and lie to her, he himself did not know what the answer to that question was, he did not hate Natasha, he still cared for her… it was impossible for him not to… but love… that was another topic entirely.

Dom just sighed as he walked back to his room, it had been a very long day, and he just needed to rest, all he could do was to hope that Joy did not ask that question again, even though he knew that it was highly unlikely for her not to.

…

Natasha had woken up, taken her shower, and her bags were all packed from the day before, she was getting ready to go back home yesterday, but it would seem that she would have a change of plans, she would have to stay here longer, or at least until she got the information that she was looking for.

Natasha looked at her phone, it was 4:58 am, Natasha remembered that Romanoff said that he would come and pick her up at 5am, there were two more minutes left.

A part of Natasha did not want to believe that Romanoff would actually come for her, after all she could not trust him, but Natasha was ready to go with, or without him, that would be his problem if he didn't want her to.

Natasha was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a knock on her hotel room door, and she walked to open the door, when she saw Romanoff standing right there, and she was surprised.

"Dobroye utro (Good Morning)" said Romanoff as he smiled and he walked into her room with her even inviting him in.

Natasha snapped out of her surprised state as she closed the door and she turned to look at him.

"What are you doing here?" asked Natasha as she did not expect to see him here, in her hotel room, she wondered how he even got here, she had thought that maybe it was room service, Romanoff was the last person she expected to see.

"We have an appointment, don't you remember devochka (girl), I said that I would come and pick you up 5am sharp" said Romanoff.

"And it is 5am" said Romanoff as he looked at his digital wristwatch.

"Yes, I know, but why are you here?? How did you even get up here?" asked Natasha, she had thought that maybe he would have just called her, or sent her a text to tell her that he was outside and that she should come down to meet him.

"I have my ways devochka (girl)" said Romanoff as he smiled.

"Of course" said Natasha as she sighed, from every encounter she had with this man, she should have known that he would not start to do things normally now all of a sudden, of course he would not call her or send her a text, even though she was sure that if he knew everything about her, he probably also knew her phone number as well.

"Are you ready to go?" asked Romanoff as he smiled.

"You do know that you could be arrested for breaking into a hotel right?" asked Natasha.

"Ha, don't make me laugh, I cannot be arrested, not in my own country" said Romanoff as he laughed, what Natasha just said was just so funny to him, he could never be arrested, never.

"Are you ready or not?" asked Romanoff.

"I am ready" said Natasha.

"Good" said Romanoff.

"Now, let us go" said Romanoff.

"Now will you tell me where it is that you are taking me to?" asked Natasha.

"You will know when we get there, but for now, carry your bags and follow me" said Romanoff as Natasha frowned at him.

"What?? Did you expect me to carry your bags for you or not?" asked Romanoff in annoyance.

"No of course not, I would expect nothing of that sort from a man like you" replied Natasha as she knew better.

"Good of you to know that, now come on devochka (girl), you waste my time talking" said Romanoff as he walked to the door and he opened it as he walked out, and Natasha followed after him with her suitcase.
