Chapter Text
Ava
We should go out tonight.
I can't, sorry. Jeremy made a reservation at a restaurant and we are going out for dinner.
Glyn
That sounds so nice.
Anni
💜
Ava
Traitor.
Ava
Traitor.
It's not like that. Jeremy doesn't really like dates, so it's nice that he went out of his way to plan one.
Ava
Well, at least you have to let us doll you up.
There's really no need.
Anni
Come on, Cecy, I'll be fun!
Ava
We'll go shopping and get you a sexy dress.
I have dresses.
Ava
And some killer lingerie!
Ava
You won't be staying in it for long, though 😉
Anni
I'm getting traumatized.
Ava!
Ava
Nu uh, you don't get to be all shy about your man with your sisters from other misters, we are getting you to look so hot that he will jump you the moment he sees you, you'll see.
Anni
I'm her man's sister from the same mister 😭
Glyn
I'm sorry, Anni. If it's any consolation, I've heard things from Niko that changed me forever.
Anni
@Glyn You are so sweet 💜🤍💜🤍
Ava
You bitches be ready in two hours, we are going shopping and slutting Ces up!
No one is going to ask me first, right?
Ava
No.
He asked and I said yes 💖
Ava
OMG, OMG, deeeeeeeets.
Anni
We're going to be sisters, OMT!!!!
Glyn
Congrats, Cecy!
@Ava, you already know the details! I can't believe you helped Jeremy plan all of this. I never suspected it.
Anni
@Ava You did?
Anni
Brb, revoking Jer'sibling rights.
Ava
@Anni Don't be like that! He wanted to keep it a secret and he just ask for my opinions and as the world's number one Cecily Knight Expert. Copyrighted, bitches. Tell your brother.
Glyn
I don't know if the world is ready for the Ava-Jeremy alliance…
Ava
It better be if he wants to take my Ces 🥊
Glyn
😳
Glyn
@Cecy Tell us how it went, Ces.
Remember we were going on a small vacation? Well, it was to this beautiful private beach in the Virgin Islands.
Anni
PIC!!!!!
Glyn
So beautiful.
Anni
OMT
Ava
And whose island is it?
Uh. Mine.
Anni
WHAT?!
Glyn
Yours, Ces?
Ava
😁
So, Jeremy bought it for me. As an engagement gift. It's crazy.
Anni
I can't believe he is so secretly romantic…
Anni
@Ava Was it your idea?
Ava
Nope. He thought of it all by himself.
Glyn
Incredible.
Anni
I'm so proud of him.
I'm in shock. We were walking down the beach and he went down his knee and said the most beautiful words and asked me to marry him. I cried so ugly.
Glyn
I'm sure you looked beautiful, Cecy. You are so pretty.
Stop, I'm not. But I'm still floating. It's so much.
Ava
Nothing is too much for you, bestie.
Anni
You deserve the world, sis.
Glyn
You really do, Ces.
Anni
Show the ring!
Anni
Don't be shy, c'mon, we're all living through you right now.
Glyn
Beautiful.
Anni
Cartier?
Ava
Classy but packing a punch, right?
Ava
Like Cecy.
It could have been a rubber band, and I'd have said yes anyway. He could have asked in a parking lot, and I would have said yes. I feel so sappy.
Glyn
You sound in love.
I really am. In love.
Anni
💜🤍💜🤍💜🤍💜🤍💜🤍💜🤍💜🤍💜🤍💜🤍💜🤍
I have to call Papa and Mum and tell them. Wish me luck. With Papa, I mean.
Ava
Uff, that won't be easy. Soldier on, babe.
How normal do you think it is to want to strangle your husband?
Ava
100%
Ava
🥺
Glyn
What happened? Are you OK?
Yes, yes. @Anni I won't really kill him, don't worry. Maybe just shake him.
Glyn
I don't think you can actually shake Jeremy.
Ava
I'll get you a ladder and a gang of hit-men, Ces.
No hit-men.
Ava
Sport-spoil.
Anni
That would end badly, considering.
Ava
Cray Cray is rubbing off on you, Anni, and not in the sexy way.
Glyn
No sex talk about my relatives!
Ava
😒
Anni
What's wrong, Cecy?
Nothing big. It's just that, apparently, I should not invite the guards over for dinner? Which is stupid because they are there and it's rude not to! And I should not "make Ilya another Yan or he will end up in the Spetsnaz", which is ridiculous. Ilya is nice and I've known him for years! And Yan reminds me of Rems, which is also something I should not think, either.
Anni
I'm kind of proud you spelled it right 👏
Ava
Googled it and that looks so mean. Kind of hot, but mean.
@Anni I've been learning a lot since we moved here. Your mum has been great, she even gave me a whole dossier about what I need to learn about the brotherhood. And I've been secretly learning Russian, Niko's mum found me a tutor.
Anni
Oh, no, not secretly! Jer WILL find out you're hiding something and freak out.
Ava
Is the tutor hot?
Glyn
Ava!
Ava
What? Is he?
She is a woman in her 60s.
Ava
Bummer.
Anni
Ava!
Ava
That's my name, don't wear it out, bitches.
Anni
If Jer asks, I never said this: enlist my mom's help and lead a two-pronged attack. He'll stand no chance if he has to disappoint his wife and his mother at the same time. And if mom is disappointed, she'll be sad and my dad will have to step in, eventually: he can't really say not to mom.
Ava
That's so evil, I love it.
Anni
I'm Adrian Volkov's daughter, after all 💅🏼💜
I can't believe they are already at the island. When did they grow up?
Ava
I know, right? The house became so silent when the triplets left. @Cecy at least you still have your youngest.
I miss Alex already. I understand Papa now.
C:
Anni
My beautiful nieces and nephews are so grown 😭 Only two years until mine and Glyn's join. I'm feeling old.
Ava
Nonsense, we're all hot bitches.
Glyn
At least we take it better than the men. Kill is already mumbling about classes at distance for Miles and especially for Jasmine. And Lan was insufferable last time I saw him. I'm worried he'll end up camping out in the old mansion in Brighton and ruining uni for Lizzie.
Jer went back and did a personal inspection of the Heathens' mansion, even though Niko already did that when Leigh started uni. I'm more worried about what will happen when Vera's time comes. I'm already seeing the whole Anni situation again.
Anni
We're not allowing my niece to be trapped in the ivory tower!
Of course not. The patriarchal tone is still not a good look.
Ava
You tell him, bestie!
Glyn
I think trouble will come even before Vera, Roddy and Fritz leave.
Ava
I know!
Stop it, both of you.
Anni
I don't want to poke the bear, AKA my brother, but my Petya posted a photo with all the children hanging out and Alex and Liz were veeeeery close.
All of them are friends and grew up together, like us.
Ava
What's my full name again, Ces?
Ava…
I'm not ready for Jer and Lan being in-laws.
Ava
You mean the world is not ready.
Anni
I'm already preying 😭🙏
Ava
And I have the popcorn ready for the drama.
