Not for a penny
crime story
Part one
... he breathed heavily, hoarsely, crushed, tearing off the turf, kneaded the greasy earth with his boots, leaned on his shoulder and pulled, pushed, rocking a birch trunk with broken branches, tearing off, breaking off a road sign nailed to it, and again bent, turning it to the sides, cursing, hurrying - and finally tore it out, pulled it out, and went, furiously throwing a stump over his shoulder, there, to a clearing by the lake at the edge of the forest, where there are insolent cries, groans and someone's imploring voice, and barking, and squeals of a dog ...
From the west, covering the sun, a thundercloud was creeping up.
The sky was dark.
My mother is a barmaid! Katyukha!
Andrei opened it to her, still sleepy, in a dressing gown, with a bitten sandwich in his hand. She smiled, "Hi," and slipped past. Tall, slim, fresh.
She took off her hat as she walked and flopped into the armchair at the coffee table.
Do they provide coffee in this house?
He watched her sideways, wondering why she was there.
Liar, he didn't believe her. The face is calm, strict, loose hair, haughty profile. As always, fashionably, spectacularly dressed. She sat cross-legged, tapping her cha-cha-cha shoe.
Andrei warmed up a coffee pot in the kitchen, brought another cup - for her. She greedily took a sip and lit a cigarette, and he bent over her and hugged her.
On business, Bets, - she said, angrily removing her shoulder from under his hands.
It's a pity, - he grinned, stroking the back of the chair. - I'm not talking to you with trifles either.
He looked at her from above, from behind her, more and more worried. Gotcha, bird. The vengeful feeling can no longer be appeased. She showed up without a call, without warning, and now he doesn't care what business brought her. Here she is, shamelessly defiant, sitting and drinking coffee, showing off her full thighs, and smoking, not suspecting that the time for revenge has begun to count down. She hurt him when she calmly used his services, and then slipped away, playfully, as if it was right, as if he was obliged to bail her out. Sticky whispers. Wounded pride. And, in spite of everything, bitter adoration for the last year and a half. She could not see, not know. And laughed and laughed. And at that moment he felt nothing but one reckless determination.
She stubbed out her cigarette, and he gathered her curly hair into a bun, leaned over and kissed her neck. She got up and recoiled. He caught up with her, squeezed her, and abruptly turned her around to face him. She understood everything. She put out her elbows, pushing him in the chest, silently, with a grimace of disgust, desperately bending at the waist. He pressed closer and smiled evilly, making it clear that resistance only invigorates him. Her hands trembled and weakened, she doomedly threw back her head, and he went crazy from the smell of her body, from the Klima perfume, which she adored. "Katya, Katya." With a jerk he unfastened the “zipper”, ripped out the T-shirt from under the belts and, burying himself, began to dance, kissing the full warm breasts. She grabbed him by the hair, and he easily picked her up in his arms and carried her. He caught on the leg of the chair, and they fell with a crash on the carpet, knocking over the floor vase. "Painfully? Where?" he asked guiltily, and with a flourish, grimacing with annoyance and pain, she slapped him in the face, and he smiled, shook his head: “Alive ...”
And in a note, when they were lying on a carpet strewn with artificial flowers, with Andrei's crumpled dressing gown under their heads, and smoking one cigarette in turn, Katya, admiringly examining his powerful biceps, calm, ruddy, said:
Generous nature. But not in everything.
Are you, mother, running into rudeness?
Rostochka would be for you.
Would be mine.
He glanced at her.
Tigress. Why did you come?
I'm worried, Betz.
Begins.
No, really. Very seriously. On Friday. Maxim and Slavka. Well, you know them. Agathon and Prytula.
Party people are yours.
Vidic. On weekend. Slavka's father bought a house in the village. There. There is a TV, but no set-top box. Cassettes. On the Zhiguli. We'll pick up and drop off. And they called me, but I refused.
And did you give?
Bought on Bejart.
Whose Zhigul?
There was a third with them. They called him "Grey".
Don't know. Seen for the first time. Such skinny, nasty, shaggy.
Bursted.
In a week, the parents will drag what I tell them. They are quartering me.
And fair.
Today is Tuesday. Neither Max nor Slavka. I am very worried. And I can’t call anymore - Slavka’s mother is completely psyched, she rushes.
Why don't you roll? Is home far?
Oh, I feel. I know. Something happened. I'm afraid Betz. They would have called.
There was no sadness,” he said unhappily.
Aida pay off.
Katya put on a hat so as not to wet her hair.
They kissed under the shower.
Call, berry, - Andrey asked, wrapping her in a large fluffy towel. - How is her - Claudia?
Whoa, she squealed. - Will you save?
- Does she still sew "Downs"?
For you, sir?
Not. Forty-six. Third. Or the second - all the same.
God! Oh sure.
Kate immediately dialed the number.
Claudia Petrovna? Hello. Katya... Nothing...
Normal... Yes. The boy is alone. Magnificent… You had your own, don't worry… Forty-six, height doesn't matter… Do you have it?.. How glad I am… Today? She looked questioningly at Andrew.
Yes. Come in for a minute, okay? You are more kind to him. He is good. Thank you ... Your debt ...
All the best.
You can, he said. - I respect it. Where is the village?
Address in jacket, in pocket. And how to get there.
Look you. Was you sure?
She laughed and kissed his wet forehead.
And I will cover my lips and eyes and forehead with kisses.
Look, Katherine. These games don't work for me.
I love it when you're so suspicious.
Careful. Chief says winners are cautious people.
Scattered?
He nodded.
Katya dressed quickly. Touched up.
Hug Claudia there.
Hooligan.
And please don't be rude about me behind my back.
This does not depend on us.
Here's how?
He walked her to the door. Embraced.
Sit tight. And don't talk on the phone.
I will call.
As you say, my lord.
Closing the door behind her, he went to the window and drew back the curtain slightly.
And there is.
Whoa, chicks.
There was a gray Volga in the yard. Katya left the entrance, and Marinka jumped out of the car towards her. He immediately recognized her - a famous movie fan, clumsy, painted, with a "rooster" on her head. For a while they bickered. Marina cursed, Katya made excuses, and by her gestures it turned out that she could not escape before.
Both sat in the back - therefore, with the driver. The Volga snorted and drove away.
Interesting. Let's take into account. Pinned - I'll kill. I will fade like a color. Will not work. This number won't work for me. Let's pin it down. I will crucify on the board of honor.
A woman was driving. Very pleasant, about forty years old, hair with gray hair (natural), in a strict suit.
Are we in a hurry to live? - asked.
Are you the driver?
I'm sorry, I didn't understand.
Well, who do you work?
I'm trying to teach beautiful bums something.
At school?
Offend. Take it higher.
Professor?
Alas. While Associate Professor
And are you still working?
That is?
Well, on a wheelbarrow?
That's what you mean, - she smiled. - Of course.
Explanatory. Money is always needed.
Excuse me, are you a student?
Now you offend me.
Here's how? Don't want to study?
At University? What for? There is a choice: princes and beggars. There can only be hell in a hut. Some people like it - I don't mind.
In my opinion, beggars are just those who do not receive a real education.
I will get an education.
Are you confusing education with something else?
I have not confused anything for a long time.
Self-confident. If not to say cheeky.
What's wrong with being confident in yourself?
Everything is in good measure.
Slow down, horses. Arrived. Thanks for the lecture. Drop here. Yep, at the booth.
He took out his wallet to pay.
I don't take from the poor.
You are wrong. I do not need.
With representatives of royal blood - too.
We were on our way.
He realized that she would not take the money. "You have to be so screwed up." She probably doesn't take them at all.
All the best, young man. I wish you success in the field of self-education.
He suddenly wanted to please her.
Here, he handed her a business card. - Take it.
She read: "Andrei Grebtsov." And a phone number.
Do you like how I drive?
If someone offends. Emergency Cooperative.
