Ivan pulled up to the street Zoya lived on. He'd texted her that he was on his way. He opened the door and breathed in the crisp winter air. There hadn't been any new snow and the skies were clear, but the sidewalks were still fringed in thinning and cracked ice and ice-melt. The sun burned weakly in the sky, still not able to burn off the cold that covered the city. But that was alright. It was a pretty day with a bright blue sky, the air smelled clean, he was dressed warmly, and he had a date with the one and only lady Zoya. He smiled at the thought of her. She was something else, the way she got his head all fogged up. But he loved it all the same. His heart was beating in anticipation and he had a stupid grin on his face.
He was walking to the door to her apartment building when it opened and for a moment he just stared. She came down the stoop stairs and all he could do was stare. Good God, but she was beautiful. He stood there like a dummy, saying nothing for a moment, that stupid grin still on his face, noticing little things: cute little white hat covering her dark hair, those smokey green eyes through dark lashes just noticing him, the touch of red in her cheeks, the breath misting in front of her lips, just the cutest hint of front teeth behind them. He saw the boots that went to her knees over a nicely tight pair of jeans. Alright. He was done. He hoped he didn't get into too much trouble when he checked her out in them later on. Cuz that was exactly what he was gonna do. Wow. Just wow.
A low chuckle began in his chest and he started laughing and shaking his head. "Good lord, woman. Forget the sun. Let's walk you down the street and I promise you, all the ice on your block will melt."
He gave her a light hug and peck on the cheek. She smelled clean with just a hint of perfume or something. Maybe it was her hair. Whatever it was, he like it. "You ready?"
They went to his car and he opened the door for her. He was reminded of the last time that he'd let her in his car. He'd had to buckle her in because she was blitzed out of her mind. He grinned at her. "I'll let you get the belt this time. You're sober, right?"
He wondered if she'd notice the stuff he had in the back seat. Once he closed his door he walked around and got in on the other side. It was good he'd left the engine running, so it was still warm. "I'm looking forward to today."
He smiled at her as if to say thank you. "You ever been to the Zoological Museum? I've heard it's nice."
He'd chosen it because he knew how much she loved animals and nature and stuff. Of course he knew. It was how they met. Him arresting her after she broke in to free some rabbits. Wasn't life a kick?
