RPOV

"Rose, I need you to go shopping with me this Saturday," Lissa said when we were sitting on my bed. Her jade green eyes stared at me.

"What's the occasion?" I asked.

"The dance before semester break," Lissa is a 21 years old college student. She used to accompany me when my parents were out for business matter.

"Do you have a partner?" I asked. Lisa shook her head. She always said that since I'm still in high school, I should find a boyfriend before entering college. The competition in college in search of mate is higher compare to high school.

"It's okay. You still have a lot of time. What about that Ryan guy?" Lissa crushed on his classmate, Ryan. She said that he's funny and easy going.

"He's going with Amanda. I don't know when they start dating," she pouted her mouth. Our conversation was broke by some noises down stairs.

"What it is?" she asked.

"Maybe – " before I managed to answer, I heard someone calling out my name.

"Rose! Can you come down and help me with my stuffs?"

"That's my brother, Christian" I said didn't bother to leave my bed.

"He's calling you.." Lissa said.

"I know. He wants me to help carry his stuff to his room. He's just finishing college last week. Guess he's just arriving home." Lissa just moved to this town 3 years ago. She never meet Christian before because he has been in his college. Yes, he didn't coming home for holiday because he's been travelling, not even for Christmas!

"Rosemarie!" he shouted again when I didn't show up. He knew how much I hate that name. That's why he using it because he knew I will appear and punched him on his face.

"Not that name!" I jump from my bed and run towards the door. Lissa followed me from behind because she didn't want me to punch anyone.

"Rosieeeee!" he called again when I'm going down the stairs.

"YOU DIDN'T JUST CALL ME THAT!"I yelled furiously, making my step faster.

"Ouchh!" I let a cry when I hit something at the last step of stairs. I landed on the warm – it's not something, it was someone. I landed on the top of a boy. He had a pair of brown eyes that can make you sink in his gaze a whole day. His shoulder-length hair was pulled back into a ponytail but a few strands framed his gorgeous face.

Times froze the moment he captured my gaze. We stared at each other until Lissa came and asked, "Rose, are you okay?".

"I'm fine," I said while quickly moving up my body from him.

"I'm sorry," I said as he finally sat down.

"No it's my fault. I shouldn't sit here," he replied.

"Rosie, there you are. What take you so long?" Christian said as he walked into us. I then remembered why I'm such in hurry before.

"Stop calling me that! Don't you know that I'm coming down in hurry that I'm almost killing your friend?"

"You can't kill me by jumping on me Rose. You're not that heavy," said the guy with the brown eyes. Thanks god he didn't call me Rosie, or I will have to murder him for real.

"Calm down Rosie, we haven't met for three years. Don't you miss me? Come and hug your brother," Christian open both of his arm, inviting me into his hug.

I ran forward, not to hug him but punched him in the stomach. He bent his body downward, surprise with the attack.

"Rose!" Lissa gasped and came down to hold my arm.

"That's for calling me Rosie and no, I don't miss you," I said while crossing my arm on my chest.

"Rose, you don't talk to your brother like that," here came my second mother, Lissa.

"You should listen to your friend Rose," good, he learnt his lesson. "What's your name?" Christian turned his head towards Lissa.

"Vasilissa. You can call me Lissa," they both shaking hand. His blue eyes caught into her green eyes for a long time, too long for strangers. I cleared my throat and Lissa quickly pull back her hand.

"So do mum and dad know you're coming home today?" I asked.

"Yeah. They know about it but they said they can't see us today because they're not coming home until Friday."

"Us?" I asked again.

"Yes, us. Dimitri- the guy that you jump on- will stay here until I found a place for us." I'm totally forgot about his friend. I mean, how could I forget about the presence of hot guy here. They don't show up every day!

"I hope you didn't mind that I will stay here for a while," he said when I'm looking at him. No no no no! I didn't mind at all. It will be good if there just the two of us, without Christian.

"No. I don't mind. Anyway, this house is too big for just two people since my parents always leaving home for business matter. More people are better," I smiled.

He nodded and smiled. God I love his smile! I wonder what else about him that I can love too?

"Told you she will be okay. As long as you didn't take her food and –"

"Call he Rosie," said Dimiri before Christian can finish his sentence. He's a fast learner.

"Come on Liss, we're going upstair," I grabbed Lissa's hand.

"Shouldn't we help them unpacking?" Lissa asked. Always being the polite one.

"Nah, they're a big boy already. Should have configured it themselves," I said while heading upstairs. Lissa followed me from behind after exchange smile with Christian.

"I think you're brother is cute," Lissa said after I closed the door.

"I think my brother is annoying," I rolled my eyes.

"it's normal for a brother to tease his sister," she said, lay on my bed.

"I know Liss. But, he has a girlfriend," I can see shock and hurt through her face but she quickly masked it with a normal expression.

"Of course he has. With that looking, nobody can resist him," she said weakly.

"Hey Dimitri is hotter. No, I mean he's the hottest man alive,"

"Wow Rose! I thought you didn't want to have any relationship now," she bright up a little.

"Well a little crush wouldn't hurt," I winked my eyes. Lissa laughed and we continued talking about many other things. Lissa decided to go home when the clock ticking at 6pm. After saying goodbye, I walked over in the house to search for Christian.

DPOV

"Christian! Christian, where are you?" I opened my room's door when I heard Rose was calling Christian name. She was taking her step upstairs and stopped when she saw me.

"Rose, Christian going out for a while. He says we can have dinner without him," her face bright up when I said dinner.

"Do you know where is he going?" I shook my head. Rose come forward and stood in front of my room.

"Hey, your room is in front of mine. I thought Christian would use this one. Thanks god it was you," she exclaimed excitedly.

I chuckled," Christian take the one at the end of this hallway. What's wrong if he's using this one?"

"What's wrong?" she tried to raise an eyebrow but failed. I held myself from laughing. "He can be so whinny when he's tired ,just like a girl. Well sometimes, worse than me. " she continued.

I smiled when her brown eyes lock up with mine. She's really has a big brown eyes that make you want to stare at it all days. Her long hair is also amazing, smooth and wavy when she moves.

"So what do you want for dinner? We can have pizza, Chinese, subway or whatever you want?" she asked.

"I think – "

"Can we have pizza? It's such a long time that I want to eat pizza," she's start to make puppy eyes. Damn she looked so cute! Even without the puppy eyes, I would just let her choose.

"Actually Rose, I'm fine with anything. You can choose for our dinner," Our dinner? That's sound good.

"Ok then! We take pizza. I'll call you when they deliver it," she smiled and then walked toward her room. This girl is something that I can't take my eyes off. I turn into my room and decide to shower while waiting for our dinner. Our dinner? I grinned.

I opened the door when I heard the knock, "Dimitri, pizza is here! Can we eat now?" I nodded and followed Rose into the dining room. We sat across each other while she's taking a slice of pizza into her mouth.

"This pizza is the greatest one in the town. I can guarantee you!" she said. I chuckled when I saw some sauce at the corner of her mouth.

"What?" she asked.

"At the corner of your mouth –" my thumb brush off her mouth without I can even finish my sentence.

She stunned at my action. I'm also surprise with myself.

"I'm sorry Rose, you reminds me of my sister, Vika. She always has something at her face when she eating," Rose smiled.

"Wow, you must be a good brother. I hope Christian can learn from you,"

"Christian is a good brother too," I said while taking a slice of pizza.

"No he's not!" I chuckled when she rolled her eyes.

"I mean, both of you are 24 right?" I nodded. "Yet he's acting like some high school boy,"

"Different people have different ways in showing their love,"

"I guess that Fire boy's way is weird,"

"Fire boy?" I raised one eyebrow. I could see envy on Rose's face when I did that.

"He set his hair on fire when he cooked. I think it's happen when he's 15. " I laughed thinking of how he got rid of the fire from his hair.

"Where are you from? I can hear your thick accent," she asked suddenly.

"Russia. I'm from Russia,"

"Wow! That's place is cold – literally I mean," she grinned.

"It's not that cold Rose,"

"Easy for you to say because you're growing up there."

"Maybe you should come some day and meet my family,"

"Since you're hot, I bet I wouldn't get too cold there,"

"What?"

"Nothing," she blushed. Her cheek became red and his mouth mumbling something. I can't hold my laughter anymore.

"What are you laughing at?"

"You,"

"Why?"

"Because you look so cute when you blushed," this time it's my turn to become speechless. She looked at me, flattered. I looked at her and thought how amazing she can be.

"As you say Rose, this pizza is the delicious food I've ever had," I said breaking our silence. She smiled.

"I need to unpack a lot of things so –"

"I will be in my room if you need anything," she smiled reassuring.

"Good night Rose," I said while making my steps out from the dining room.

"Good night Dimitri," she said.

I smiled as I closed my room's door. What am I doing? I'm flirting with my best friend's sister who is 7 years younger than me. Dimitri, what've you gotten yourself into?
