บท 243: Thought the same
"Two months??!" asked Michael in shock as he looked at Dom, he needed to be sure that he had heard the right thing right now, and that his brain had just not made up some sort of fake figure.
"Yes, you heard me, two months" said Dom as he nodded his head and he looked at Michael as he stopped typing on his laptop.
"Wait, wait, two actual months?" asked Michael as he needed another assurance.
"Yes, two months, she told Joy that she would be back in January" said Dom.
"Why two months?" asked Michael.
"Please ask me Michael, just ask me, because I obviously know what is going on in Natasha's head" said Dom in sarcasm, he was still upset from his argument with Natasha last night.
"Two months is no joke Dom" said Michael.
"Tell me about it" said Dom.
"But…" said Michael as he paused, he did not know what else to say, two months was just too much.
"Wait, how did Joy take the news? You said she overheard you guys speaking" said Michael.
"No she didn't overhear us speaking, we were arguing, and my stupid self was too caught in the moment to forget to go somewhere private to speak to Natasha, but I guess Joy got bored with watching cartoons, and she heard everything we were talking about" said Dom as he looked at Michael.
"I can just imagine how upset she was" said Michael.
"She was more than upset, she was, disappointed, I could not bring myself to talk to her" said Dom.
"But then of course, Natasha played her good mother card, she explained to Joy gently, and well she made Joy see her view, and she explained that she would be back soon" said Dom as he sighed.
"And knowing how good of a child my princess is, she didn't argue" said Dom.
"You don't sound happy about that" said Michael.
"No, I am, I am happy and relieved that Joy is no longer sad, but what I am not happy about Is the way Natasha just so casually explained how she would be gone for two months" said Dom.
"It irritates me that she just thinks that I am making a big fuss about everything, while in reality, I am just trying to get her to see that whatever it is that she is doing is affecting Joy in a bad way, she is her mother, she cannot just leave just like that" said Dom as he sighed.
"But I don't get it… I know Natasha… and she can't stay away from Joy for such a long time, she would never, which makes me think that maybe she is staying in Russia held against her will" said Michael.
"I was thinking so too, I hate to admit it, but I thought the same" said Dom.
"She kept on saying that something came up, and when I asked what, she refused to tell me, saying that it was none of my business" said Dom.
"I sense that something more serious is going on, which is why I need your help to track her down, so I can know where exactly she is" said Dom as he shook his head, he really did not know what to do when it came to Natasha, she had changed so much, so much that he felt like he did not know her anymore.
The Natasha he knew would never go anywhere without telling him, in fact, she used to tell him everything, whether he wanted to hear it or not, but for the past few months, that had all changed, and the weird thing was that he did not know if he liked that change, because it felt so weird, even though this was what he had been waiting for, but now that he had it, he could not help but worry if Natasha was actually doing okay.
"I can do that for you Dom, you know that I will" said Michael.
"Thank you Michael, maybe then I will be able to rest at ease" said Dom as he sighed.
"Don't mention it, because at this point, I am concerned as well" said Michael as Dom rubbed his eyes and he stood up from his desk to sit beside Michael.
"Aren't we all, I can't even tell Grandfather that Natasha went to Russia, I will not hear the end of it" said Dom as he sighed.
"No one is going to tell him anything, as long as he hears nothing, everything will be fine" said Michael.
"Anyway, do you want me to track her now?" asked Michael.
"Yes, do it" said Dom.
"Well I need to call her first, do you think that she will pick?" asked Michael.
"Well it's 10am right now, it should be 6pm over there" said Dom as he checked his watch.
"Well, we'll see" said Michael as he brought out his phone and he dialed Natasha's number as he put his phone to his ear.
…
Natasha looked up from her laptop when she heard her phone ringing.
She stopped what she was doing as she picked up her phone and she frowned when she saw the caller Id.
Natasha scoffed, of course Dom would go crying to Michael, how typical.
"What a surprise" said Natasha in sarcasm as she scoffed, she knew that there was only one reason that Michael would be calling her right now, and that would be because he wanted to track her location, she was not that stupid as to pick his call, of course Dom could not just leave her be, he wanted to track her location.
"I am not doing this right now" said Natasha as she scoffed and she wondered why Dom would be so desperate, he should not leave her alone.
Natasha just declined the call as there was no way that she was going to pick up Michael's call, and then she switched off her phone, she had many more important things to do.
…
"She didn't pick" said Michael as he removed his phone from his ear.
"She knows" said Dom as of course, Michael calling would not work on Natasha, she knew him too well, so much so that she knew that he was trying to track her location.
"You think so?" asked Michael as he turned to look at Dom.
"She's smart of course she knows" said Dom as he sighed, he really did not think this through.
"Maybe I should try calling her again?" asked Michael.
"No, don't bother, she probably switched off her phone so your calls would not bother her" said Dom.
"Just leave her be, I really don't have time for her childish antics right now" said Dom.
"You are still upset from your argument with her aren't you?" asked Michael as he put his phone in his pocket, he knew other ways to track Natasha, but they were all not legal, so he had no other choice than to leave her alone.
"Is it that obvious?" asked Dom as Michael just smiled at him.
"You know what, let's just get back to work, you have those documents for the renovations right?" asked Dom as Michael nodded his head.
"Good, we can work on them for the next two hours before" said Dom.
"You aren't going to the office today?" asked Michael.
"No, it's Saturday, besides, Joy hasn't woken up yet" said Dom as he sighed.
"Because she stayed up late last night?" asked Michael.
"You know, I hate that Natasha knows so much, while I know so little, but I do try" said Dom.
"Of course you do Dom, but it's only natural for Natasha to know so much, she is her mother after all" said Michael as he laughed.
"Don't beat yourself up too much, you are a good Father as well, although a bit too lenient, I bet that if Joy asked for sweets and gave you a sweet look every single time she did so, you would melt and do whatever she asks" said Michael as he laughed.
"I think you will understand when you become a Father, although, I do admit that I am too soft with her sometimes, but she's my little princess" said Dom as he smiled.
"I doubt I would become a Father any time soon" said Michael as he laughed and Dom shook his head.
"Anyway, like your Father likes to say, Let's get to work" said Michael.
"I thought that was Grandfather's saying" said Dom.
"No, his would be more of a 'You ungrateful brat, I raised you, and this is how you repay me, get back to work and earn a living for yourself, not everything is given to you on a silver platter" said Michael as he laughed and Dom laughed.
"You nailed that impression" said Dom as he laughed.
"Thank you, I do try" said Michael as he laughed.
"Just don't let him hear you saying that, then he would really disown you" said Dom as he laughed.
"You won't catch me dead saying that right in front of him, I would rather have my hand cut off" said Michael as he laughed.
"Okay, okay, you cheered me up now" said Dom as he laughed.
"You are welcome" said Michael as he smiled.
"Now, back to work" said Dom as he walked to his desk and he got some folders from his desk and Michael smiled as he sighed internally, he really hoped that Natasha was doing alright where she was, he did not want her getting hurt unnecessarily over there.
