I had set out to go kill my first true love Dimitri. He was A storgori now and I had promised him I would take care of this if it should ever happen. I went looking all over Russia for days when on the fifth day of my journey I find him. I said my goodbyes and staked him through the heart. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life and now I was able to move on and be happy in my life. That would be with Adrian if he still wanted me. He had helped me with my journey to find Dimitri with backing my trip financially and emotionally. He was always there when I need him the most and loved me through thick and thin. I was now ready to return that love and more so I was ready to move on with my life with my love Adrian. When I decided to come "home" to the academy I called my dad and asked him to send A plane after me and to call Pavel to come pick me up. I wanted to surprise Lissa and Adrian. When I boarded the plane I was so nervous and excited I could hardly sit still but somehow still managed to fall asleep. I learned how to block Adrian from my dreams while I was away, he had only come into one of my dreams maybe twice while I was gone. I was not sure if it really was me keeping him out or if he stopped trying. So I was shocked when I fell asleep on the plane I was in his grandmother's garden my favorite place to be. I searched and called out his name until I saw him come running out of nowhere and pick me up swinging "Oh little dhampir I have missed you so much, when are you coming home to me?" I laughed " soon Adrian I promise very soon" he was now smiling and put me down to kiss my lips with his. This was our second kiss ever, the first was when I was leaving and he was giving me money as I was saying goodbye, I felt like I owed it to him then but this kiss was wonderful so I kissed him back. We finally had to break apart while breathing heavy "little dhampir that was some kiss you just gave me" I giggled "well see you soon Adrian and stay out of trouble okay" and I woke up. I left the plane feeling wonderful about the kiss when I saw my other favorite person Pavel. He was always like A brother to me working all the time with my dad and he was also married to Vera Adrian's sister. "Hey there good looking" I yelled at him. "Hey there yourself I am very glad you are in one piece now come here and give me A hug. I walked over and hugged him as he playfully punched my arm "ouch what was that for" I asked him grinning. "That is for leaving us and making my brother-n-law unhappy all this time." I got my bags and said " well what else have I missed lately P?" P was his nickname I gave him A long time ago and it just kinda stuck with me. " well Rosie Vera is ready to see you and she misses you like crazy she keeps telling me that the baby needs her crazy aunt to be with her. I thought about what he just said for like A minute before the light bulb went off in my head." "P did you just say that I was going to be an aunt? That would mean that you two are going to have A baby" "Man Rose you are slow today, yes we are having A baby we are seven weeks pregnant." "Well P Congrats to you both, how is uncle Adrian feeling about this?" I asked knowing he was so happy about having his sister pregnant. "Well the last time I talked to him he told me he is ready for his Rosie to come home and share the babysitting duties with him, Rose Please tell me you are going to give him A chance now." I sat in the car looking out the window I did not want to tell Pavel that I loved Adrian before I told Adrian so I just smiled and said " well I need you to take me to Adrian's house can you call him to make sure he is home and will not leave? " Pavel gave me this look and shook his head "yeah hold on A minute let's see if the man is home." I kept looking out the window while Pavel was on the phone. " Well Rosie dear today is your lucky day, Adrian is at home and he is not going anywhere because I told him I had to come over for A minute to bring him something" Pavel grinned when he said something, I was the something all right. " Thanks P for everything and I will see you this weekend some time right?" "Oh you better because I will have one ill wife if you do not show your face around there soon." I laughed and noticed we were at Adrian's house all ready and my stomach was not feeling good all the emotions I was feeling hit me like A ton of bricks. I grabbed my bag and walked to his front door and knocked twice I heard him say I will be right there P, so he called him that too I thought to myself as I waited for him to answer the door. The door opened and I quickly said " Hi Adrian I'm back" He was just looking at me like he had seen A ghost or thought he was in A dream. I was about to say something to him when he finally said" Are you real , am I dreaming or is my Rose Hathaway standing before me looking beautiful as ever?" I couldn't help but smile saying " Yes I am here and no I am not A dream may I come in?" He moved to the side and grabbed my bag waiting for me to enter the livingroom that was gorgeous light brown and khaki everywhere you looked, it was not something I would have thought Adrian would pick out but I loved it. Adrian shut the door and grabbed around my waist and turned me so I was able to kiss him. I thought the second kiss was good but this one was just full of love and passion and some lust thrown in there. We pulled away and were out of breath when Adrian looked at me saying " little dhampir what can I do for you since I am A very happy man right now" "well Adrian I need to talk to you but I need you to listen and then comment after I am done if that is okay with you." "Oh course let's sit down" We both moved to the couch and sat down I took A deep breath and started "well Adrian first let me say thank you for everything my trip was A success, I have gotten over Dimitri and I am ready to start living my life and be happy for once, I want to know if you will still have me because I love you so much and I always have secretly and I only want to be with you for the rest of my life, my life with out you is not A life at all and I am afraid to get hurt again but I know you are worth it and that we can make it work what do you say?' I took A breath and thought to myself well I rushed that out quicker than I wanted to. He was staring at me for the longest time when he smiled and said " Rose I want you to tell me everything that happen over in Russia later on and you should know that I will always want to be with you and will always help you when you are in trouble, I want to give you everything you need and want, I love you always now and forever I am just very glad you realized it too."I did not realize that I was crying until Adrian brushed his hand on my cheek to wipe away the tears that were falling " little dhampir why are you crying this is suppose to be A happy moment for us" " That is why I am crying Adrian I am finally happy with the man I love" I tucked my face in the crook of his neck and just sat there completely happy. " Little Dhampir I was wondering if you would stay with me tonight, you just got here and I don't know if I can let you out of my sight right now". I smiled " well I was hoping I could stay here for A while if that was okay with you, I really don't want to get A place by myself so maybe you would like some company for A while?" I told him in one of my man eating smiles. Adrian grinned " I think that is more than possible I would like for you to never leave me now that you are back, you know what is mine is yours my love" " Thank you Adrian for everything and for still loving me when it took me A little longer to come around" Well Little dhampir what do you think about having A date night with your boyfriend?" I giggled to myself boyfriend more like love of my life, future husband and Adrian pulled me back from babbling by kissing my head saying " I will go call in some take out and pick out A movie for us to snuggle to, then later we can take A bubble bath together and see what happens from there!" "That sounds like A wonderful idea I think I will go put my stuff away and be right back" I gave him A kiss and showed myself to the bedroom to look around. His bedroom was A beautiful shade of red with black furniture in it. He had pictures of his family on his dresser along with pictures of our friends all together. One picture stood out and it was A picture of us at A party we went to last year, I did not realize how much I loved him even then. "Rose are you okay?" "Oh yeah I was just looking at your pictures and thinking we need some new ones in here soon. I smiled thinking I just said we and I wonder if he picked up on it. "We uh that sounds nice" Adrian laughed and I playfully smacked him on the arm I should have known that he would pick that up. "Come on inside the living room and let's talk while we wait on some food to come" He held out his hand and I grabbed it as we went to the living room to talk. We talked about what happen in Russia and how it was the hardest thing I had to do and he told me that he hated that I had to do that alone but he would always be there for me now and forever. He told me how he was going to be an uncle and how he knew that Vera was having A boy because he could read her aura and see that it had blue in it, that he said was A boy. The food came then and he made us A carpet picnic on the floor. " Adrian I think that was the best dinner ever" " I am glad you liked it now how about we watch A movie and cuddle together?" Adrian was giving me those lustful eyes he sometimes gave me. I pulled his hand and lead him to the couch. We had gotten so comfortable I started to yawn. " I am so sorry Adrian how about I call it A night?" Adrian looked at me and grinned " how about we call it A night and go freshen up and go to bed" I had other things in my mind when I started to kiss him on his neck and then down his cheek to his mouth when I heard moan I gently started to unbutton his shirt and take it off while he was unzipping my summer dress. My dress fell on the floor just as his shirt fell. I started working on his pants when he lifted me up and kissed me taking me into the bedroom. He put me down and went into the bathroom with out saying A word and turned on the shower. I tiptoed in the bathroom and put my arms around his waste " well Adrian are we getting in the shower now or later?" "Oh my love we are getting in now I was just waiting on my beautiful girlfriend to come and find me" I started laughing again and got in the shower. Adrian came in behind me and started to wash my hair for me. It felt so good that I let out A soft moan ,that drove Adrian crazy he whipped me around and started kissing me and letting his hands roam all over my body. It was getting hot and heavy in the shower when he said " I think it is time for us to get in bed, I can hear it calling our names" I smiled and kissed him as he dried me off. We made it to the bed where he laid me down and hoover over me asking me if I was really ready for this. I told him I was more than ready and he entered me. It felt so good to be with the one you loved and knew you would be with them for the rest of your life. We both had our moment together and he rolled us over saying "Little Dhampir that was the best night ever and I can't wait to have many more nights like this with you." I simply replied " I love you Adrian and I can't wait to spend my new life with you" " see you in the morning love, lets go to the beach shall we?" " I will see you in my dreams" and I fell asleep.
