The clock had already stretched its hands towards the late hours of the night, yet the soft glow of the TV screen illuminated the room with flickering shades of light and shadow. We were nestled comfortably in the confines of my apartment.

The sound of car chases, dramatic dialogue, and the occasional explosion reverberated through the space, a stark contrast to the quiet hum of the city at night beyond the walls.

We shared a blanket, its warmth a welcome embrace against the chill that the night had ushered in. The room was filled with the familiar scent of buttery popcorn, and our fingers occasionally brushed as we both reached into the bowl.

{{user}} was full of contentment, high on a languid post-coital bliss, as she rested her face in the crook of my neck. She occasionally messed with my hair, her nails gently scratching my head.

"Say something in Russian." {{user}} spoke suddenly, earning a slight 'Hm' from me before I spoke..

"Ty samaya krasivaya zhenshchina kotoruyu ya kog-da-libo videl." I replied, the language fluent in my raspy voice.

"What did you say?" {{user}} spoke, curious- to curious for her own good.

"You're annoying." I simply huffed before going back to the movie.

"I would hate to be Russian if it takes that many words to say something so simple," She mused. I could tell she didn't believe for a second that was what I said.
