This is a really short chapter because I didn't have much time but I didn't want to let you all wait for so long. I like writing this story , it's my favourite one at the moment.

Please enjoy reading & review because they are really important ; they keep forcing me to write the next chapter (in a good way, lol) so just tell me what you think. (Please no flaming)

Telling Ivan he could stay at his house for a while was easy ; but living with him is far from easy. Ivan has been living with him for three days now. How did Alfred even manage to communicate with him about serious matters? The Russian man barely speaks English, he drinks a lot of vodka and he just smiles all the Yao gets all frustrated about these kind of matters but he still likes Ivan a lot.

...

The slender Chinese man yawns, still tired because he just couldn't stop reading his favorite book last night. When he enters the living room, holding a cup of coffee he finds Ivan on the couch. Ivan looks up at him and of course.. he smiles widely.

"Good morning Ivan, did you sleep well?"

"Good morning Yao, da I slept well" Is his short reply. Ivan is fully dressed and looks like he has been up for the past couple of hours.

"You got up early?"

He nods.

"You could have just made yourself some breakfast, Ivan. You don't have to wait for me"

"I don't want to be rude.."

That's so cute. I want to wrap my arms around him and hug him tightly.

"This is your home too, it's not rude" He slumps down onto the couch next to him.

Why is he suddenly feeling so hot? Whenever he's staring at Ivan he's getting those strange feelings. My god he looks so handsome ; his platinum blond hair matching the colors of his scarf so beautifully and his body.. Yao stop trying to imagine how he looks all naked.

"Did you speak to Alfred?" Ivan's voice brings him back to reality.

"Hm? eh no not yet, he didn't pick up his phone but Francis told me he went to Italy for a few days, another business trip. You can always use my phone if you want to call your family or something"

Ivan just smiles, Yao's not sure if he understood what he just said.

"Why don't you go out today? You need some new clothes, why don't you go to the mall?"

Ivan tilts his head. "Hm?"

Great, how to explain this to him?

"Why don't you buy some new clothes? At the store nearby, you really need them ; besides it's good for you to go outside and talk to people. It's a good way to improve your English"

...

Yao decides to clean the house while Ivan's away and starts with the Russian man's room. The room's very tidy except for a photograph on the nightstand. Yao knows it's very rude to just take a look at it but he's just too curious. It's a picture of Ivan together with a very beautiful woman who seems to be only a couple of years older than Ivan. His sister?

They're smiling and holding hands in a friendly way. Ivan probably likes her a lot because it's the only photo he's got. When Yao turns the photo he raises his eyebrow upon seeing a number written on the backside of it.

14-9-11-15-12-1-9 22-1-26-15-22

What does it mean? It's definitely not a phone number or a date so what else can it be? The sound of the front door makes him quickly putting the photo back where it belongs.

That's strange, Ivan doesn't even call him from downstairs like he always does. Footsteps.. someone's going upstairs.

What if it's not Ivan? Yao is holding his breath ; that person is coming his way and when said person opens the door, followed by another guy and is pointing a gun at Yao's head ; the Chinese man would rather just jump out of the window instead of staying in this bedroom any longer, but he doesn't..

They are both tall and dark haired and also very muscular.

"What do you want from me?" Yao yells at them, trying to sound brave.

They ignore Yao while they're speaking Russian to each other.

Oh God,this has something to do with Ivan.. why did I ever invite a criminal into my house? Is the first thing Yao thinks.

One of them grabs Yao's arms and Yao tries to resist but fails miserably. The guy who's holding the pistol is the first one to speak up.

"Where's little Vanya?" His voice makes Yao tremble.

"I don't know who you're talking about! Just leave my house right now!"

He slaps Yao in the face, hard enough to bruise.

"Let me think.. how to describe him ; a poor blonde haired Russian wearing scarf all the time, and is pretty just like his sister" They both laugh about that.

Yao tries holding back his tears ; so they're really after Ivan. He trusted Ivan, he liked him.

"I don't know who you're talking about, I really don't!"

Why is he still protecting Ivan? They might shoot him if he doesn't tell them where he is.

"We'll find him and if we don't ; we'll come back for you and next time you won't be so lucky" The guy holding the pistol says before smacking him on the back of his head with the weapon.
