Mondays training went great, not only did I get to learn some new moves, but I also got to spend time with Dimitri. Oh god, do I ever love spending time with Dimitri. Especially after our time in the cabin a couple of weeks ago. Our conversation at training the day after the cabin was clear in my head.
Flashback
I walked into the gym and set my bag down. Looking up I could see Dimitri sitting against the wall reading a western novel. "Morning comrade, what's on the agenda for today?"
He looked up at me as I spoke and gave me one of his rare smiles. "Good morning Roza, we will be running outside today." I rolled my eyes.
"I should have known."
"But if you can beat your last time we can spar."
"Great! Get ready to get your ass kicked." I walked over to the door that led outside to the track, but before I got out Dimitris hand shot out and grabbed my arm, pulling me closer to him. Being so close to him I could smell his delicious aftershave, he leaned down and softly pressed his lips against mine. But all to soon he pulled away.
"I've been wanting to do that since you walked in."
"Me too Comrade, me too."
"But we so need to keep our relationship private, no one can know."
"I know, and I also know it will be hard seeing as how tempting you are." I said smirking. Dimitri chuckled.
"It will be all worth it in the end Roza, for us to finally be together."
"It sure will…"
Ever since then things have been great between us. Dimitri keeps up with his mentor roll during training, but sometimes, if we're lucky, we'll find a few minutes in the day to slip away and share a few stolen kisses. As I walked into the cafeteria for breakfast I saw my group of friends sitting at a nearby table. I grabbed a stack of pancakes and headed over. "Morning."
"Morning Rose," My best friend Lissa said. "I was thinking of having everyone over to my dorm for a movie night tonight, before curfew of course, want to join?"
"Yeah sure thing." Just then the head mistresses voice spoke up over the loud speaker.
"Can novice Rosemarie Hathaway please come down to the office. I repeat can novice Rosemarie Hathaway please come down to the office." I looked around at all my friends at the table.
"I swear I didn't do anything."
"Yeah, sure thing Hathaway." Christian said. I just rolled my eyes and got up from the table. As I left the cafeteria I made eye contact with Dimitri from across the room, I could see the confusion at me being called down written on his face, I just shrugged my shoulders at him. Pretty much saying, I have no idea why I'm being called down this time.
When I walked in I was met with Miss Kirova, along with my mother. "Mom?"
"Rosemarie, please take a seat." Miss Kirova said. I did as I was told and sat in one of the two seats that were across from her, the other one was currently being occupied by my mother. "You have been taken out of classes for the day."
"Why?"
"That's to do with your mother, you're dismissed." My mother and I both got up and left the room, after a few seconds of silently walking to god knows where I spoke up.
"So, what's the deal? Why did you take me out of classes for the day?"
"Because we need to talk."
"All day?"
"It's important."
"Okay, well… where are we going?"
"My room."
"Got it." I nodded my head and silently followed my mother to her room, when we got in I realized we were no longer alone. There, in the living space, was a moroi man sitting on her couch in a suit and a rather flash scarf if I do say so myself. "Who the hell are you?" I asked him. My mother spun around to face me, shock written on her face.
"Rosemarie! That is no way to speak to him!" I shrugged my shoulders.
"Well, who are you?" Surprisingly the man smiled.
"I'm Abe, Abe Mazur." My mum walked over and sat beside Abe, looking rather nervous as I stood in front of the two.
"Rosemarie, you're almost eighteen. It's time you know about Abe and who he is." She paused as if she was waiting for me to say something.
"Well, who are you? Old man." I asked, shifting to face Abe.
"I'm your father." I instantly felt like someone had just punched me in the gut. I looked over at my mother.
"You're joking, right? This has to be some sick joke!"
"No, it isn't." I scoffed.
"Well then, why am I just finding this out now?"
"You have to understand Rosemarie," My mother said. "Your father, he's in some…shady, business. When you were born, we agreed you wouldn't have any contact with him, at least not in till you were eighteen. You father, he has some powerful enemy's, and if any of them found our he had a daughter, well, they would most likely like to get their hands on you, to either kill, kidnap or just use you as bait to get to Abe."
"Okay, so like I said before. Why now? Does Abe all of the sudden have no more enemy's?"
"Well, no, but I agreed to let him into your life when you were old enough to make your own decisions and care for yourself. However, you still can't tell anyone who Abe really is, who you really are, at least not in till he has a chance to make some deals and clear things up." Abe then spoke up.
"I know we don't know each other, but I have always wanted to get to know you, to really be your father and be there for you. I just hope that it's not too late, and because your mother pulled you out of school for the day I was thinking that at lunch time we could go out, the two of us to a restaurant, give us a chance to talk. I'd love to get to know you." I thought about his proposition. Was it to late to have a father in my life? The answer-No.
"Sure, we can go out at lunch time, a very late dinner I suppose if we are going out of St. Valds and into the human world." Abe smiled up at me.
"Great, you should go get ready then, I'll pick you up in a few hours."
"You got it old man." I turned to leave but spun back around when I heard Abe call out to me.
"Don't forget little girl, no one can know that I'm your father. If anyone asks, make something up."
"Yeah, I got it."
Hey guy's! So that was my first chapter of my new story! Let me know if you like it!
