I watched as the bride waltzed down the aisle to the handsome groom, her eyes locked with his. Mikhail Tanner and Sonya soon-to-be-Tanner were a beautiful couple. They were both sweet and friendly. Mikhail and Sonya had fallen for each other almost as soon as they had met in a party I had invited them both to. Since I was the so-called-reason for their happiness, I was offered the position of the matron of honor in the wedding which I promptly declined. I was bad at those things. I was also bad at making public appearances. Not that I had made one. Instead of me, Lissa eagerly took the place and she had been bustling around for months to get everything ready for the wedding. Me and Christian, her boyfriend, had been lying low for a few months, hanging out with each other while Lissa was working her ass off. We had offered help but she wanted to do things on her own. She even ordered the wedding hall. There was a party this evening kept by Sonya and Mikhail and I was invited. Lissa was arranging that too so Christian and me were off the hook till this evening. He sauntered up to me. "What are we gonna do till this evening?" he said sighing.

"I am going shopping Sparky, and you are coming with me to carry my bags" I said.

"Oh noooo" he groaned.

"Oh come on Sparky, you gotta be so lucky to be seen in public with a hot girl like me" I said, flipping my hair.

"Haha…good joke. Come on lets go speak to Liss" he said, dragging me over to Lissa

Lissa lectured me and Christian to be there in time for the party and she ordered Christian to wear a blue suit to match her dress. Giving me a smile and Christian a peck on the lips, she waved us off.

The whole afternoon passed by. Me and Christian ordered lunch at home and sat watching an old soccer match. He begged me to not go shopping so I spared his life and walked away to get ready. It took about an hour and Christian kept knocking at the door.

Soon I got tired of hearing him knocking.

"Christian, the door is unlocked but unless you want to see me naked, I would suggest you to shut the hell up and wait for me in the car." I said trying to zip myself.

There was no more knocking. Grabbing my heels after putting on some lip-gloss, I joined him in the car. He was grumbling something about why girls took too long to dress. We got there a little late but we still made it. Trying to escape Lissa's lecture, me and Christian snuck about until Lissa spotted Christian.

"I swear to God if you sell me out, you will regret it every moment of your life" I threatened as Lissa motioned him to come to her. He glared at me and walked off. I snuck around too and finally found myself in the punch table.

Getting myself some punch , I turned around only to bang into a guy who was making his way to the punch.

"Watch it" he said. I looked up to see a pair of chocolate brown eyes staring at me.

"Oh…sorry" I said stepping past him.

"Wait! Are you Rose Hathaway?" he asked curiously.

"Yeah….do I know you?" I asked. Dude, I would have totally remembered if I had met this guy. He was totally hot. But his face was familiar….

"No. But I know you" he said , a halfsmile on his face.

"Oh, are you some kind of a stalker or something" I asked sarcastically.

"Not really. But Sonya mentioned you once or twice" he said.

"Didn't know I was in the town gossip" I said.

"You are supposedly the one who made this happy couple meet." He said gesturing at Sonya and Mikhail laughing with another couple.

"Yeah, I do all kinds of services" I said, rolling my eyes.

"All kinds of services?" he said raising an eyebrow. I laughed. I liked this guy. A lot.

"May I know your name?" I asked

"You don't know me?" he asked, surprise on his face.

"Should I know you?" I asked back. Ha! Question for a question!

He shook his head laughing. "Smart. Anyways, I am Dimitri Belikov" he said, tipping an imaginary hat on his head.

" well, you already know my name. " I said walking off.

"Usually, that's my line in normal conversations" he called at my back. Without even looking at him, I knew he was laughing.

I looked back at him, winking. "I ain't normal Comrade"

An hour passed by and the crowd thinned. I made my way to Sonya and Mikhail to wish them congratulations. Sonya gushed out as soon as she saw me. Mikhail had that smiley twinkle in his eyes.
"Rose! I haven't seen you frmom the morning. Anyways, there is someone I want you to meet" she said, grabbing my hand and pulling me away.

"Arent you supposed to be staying with your new husband?" I asked her as she led me through the crowd.

"He can manage. Besides, I am going to have him with me all night long"

"Ew." I said. "Did you have to put that picture in my head?"

She laughed. She finally found that person she was looking for and led me to him/her. Surprisingly, I found myself in the presence of Dimitri Belikov again.

"Rose this is the person I wanted you to meet. This is-"

"The guy who asks everyone whether they know him" I replied.

"And you are the girl who steals my conversation lines" he retorted.

"I see you have already met" Sonya said laughing.

"Anyways Dimitri is my best friend and Rose? You do know who he is right?" she asked.

"Your best friend?" I said.

She rolled her eyes. "Do you even read magazines, Rose?" she asked.

"Nope" I replied, popping the 'p'

"Well Dimitri is the son of the owner of a billion dollar company and he practically owns half the world." To this, Dimitri rolled his eyes. "The rest of the world goes to his father of course. Dimitri comes often in magazines, his highschool stories fascinating the hell out of women." She proceeded to tell me other things but I was still stuck with the first sentence she spoke. He was the son of a billionaire? More important, I was flirting with the son of a billionaire? My heart thudded. God, this was bad.

Dimitri laughed at my shocked face. Sonya shook her head, leaving me and him alone"

"You. Son of billionaire." I said still processing the sentence.

"I ain't normal Roza" he said,winking, throwing my line back at me as he walked away.

With that line Dimitri Belikov left me standing in middle of the party hall surrounded by people looking like a fool.

Please please review. I promise i will keep updating. :D
