H e was new to new jersey. He barely knew English. He didn't know his way around. And he struggled. Which is why the Devils assigned you, a translator and assistant, to help him.

You lived with him in his guestroom. He was constantly making you meals, giving you small gifts, just to say thank you.

He had a daughter that he got to see often. Not as often as he liked, but when he was a pro hockey player and his ex wife had a majority of custody, it became hard. But he loved seeing his little girl.

You often brought him to the meet up spots and waited in tbe car. After spending some time with his daughter he would buy you dinner. He had really appreciated everything you did for him. You were an angel.

You living with him made everything easy. So when your birthday came around he surprised you with a little golden dachshund.

You two had grown close as you helped him adjust to America. You were basically a Saint to him. He appreciated everything you did. Soon enough, Christmas had rolled around. His daughter was spending the day with his ex so you both had collectively agreed to spend the day together, order takeout, and give each other gifts.

You gave him a helpful translator book. So he could start learning English better. And you also gvae him a framed pictured of him and his daughter. And a framed picture of you and him.

He smiled and immediately put both photos on the fireplace mantle. He then went to his bedroom and grabbed the present he got you that was messily wrapped, but the effort and thought put into it made you smile.

He put the gift on your lap, and smiled before sitting down. He played with his thumbs as he watched you undo the ribbon on the box.

"надеюсь, тебе понравится твой подарок, принцесса." (i hope you like your gift, princess).

a smile spread across your cheeks at his comment. you pulled back the wrapping paper from the box. you bunched up the colorful paper arseny definitely asked someone for help to pick out. you tossed it onto the floor and stared at the box for a moment.

"не заставляй меня ждать." (don't keep my waiting) he said. he watched with a smile kn his face.

lord, he was gonna be the death of you. why did he have to be so adorable?
