Summary:

Dimitri never turns Strigoi. Lissa never becomes Queen.

Lissa and Rose still have the bond. Rose and Adrian are never a couple.

Dimitri never had to go through the depression.

Life becomes perfectly content for Rose Hathaway…until one incident occurs…that will change their lives forever.

What will happen? How will Rose react? Read and find out!

*Chapter 1*

*Rose's perspective*

My heart was beating fast.

Sweat trickled down my temples.

Our bodies pressed closer together.

The connection burned between us.

The moment we'd been waiting for was here and now.

Love and passion intensified between us.

I ran my hands through his silky hair.

We kissed harder and more passionately.

When we were done, we lay back against the pillows.

I loved the way his arms wrapped around me, the way he stroked my hair.

It felt so nice...

...then I instantly fell asleep...

I woke up, still in Dimitri's arms. I tilted my head to look up at him, and he was asleep.

I smiled. I carefully lifted my hand and stroked his cheek softly. I carefully brushed hair out of his eyes.

Then he woke up.

"Good morning, comrade," I said, kissing his lips briefly.

"Good morning, Roza. Did you sleep all right?"

"Yeah. How about you?"

"I slept fine."

I then slipped out of his arms to get dressed.

After putting on a black lace bra, and matching underwear, I changed into denim shorts, and a red camisole.

I put on a cropped denim jacket to match my shorts. When I turned around, Dimitri was already dressed.

He was wearing casual clothes, a black t-shirt that clung slightly to his chest, and Levis.

"I have to go but I'll be back soon." Dimitri said, kissing my forehead.

"Okay, see you later. I have to take a shower anyway." I stepped into the bathroom, and shut the door behind me.

I slipped off my clothes, and stepped into the shower. I squirted strawberry kiwi shampoo into my hands and massaged it into my hair.

I then squirted conditioner into my hands and massaged it into my hair.

I rinsed and stepped out, not bothering to add body wash.

I rubbed my hair with a towel, and then wrapped it around me.

I quickly used the blow dryer. I put my hair in a side ponytail. I added deodorant to my underarms, and tossed the towel in the hamper near the bathroom closet.

I changed into the same clothes I'd worn before and walked out of the bathroom.

Dimitri sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought. He glanced up at my approach, and smiled.

"Back already? That didn't take long." I noted.

"Actually, I got here, oh, over an hour ago." He replied.

"Wow. I took a long shower then." I said with mild surprise. Normally, my showers didn't take that long. Oh, well.

"So, what are we doing today?" I asked, sitting down beside him.

"Well, since it's our break, I was thinking that we could go somewhere, just the two of us."

"But where would we go?"

He smiled, his eyes lighting up. "Oh, somewhere you'd like. It's a surprise…unless, of course, you don't want to go. I could just go alone."

"No, I'll come. I just hate surprises." I muttered. His smile grew.

"Of course you don't, Roza." He cupped my cheek and leaned in to kiss me.

He was this close, until a knock at the door interrupted us.

I sighed, frustrated, and got up to answer the door.

I heard Dimitri chuckle behind me.

I felt through the bond that it was Lissa.

I opened the door and—yup—standing there, was Lissa Dragomir, my best friend, practically my sister.

I smiled. "Hey, what's up?" I greeted her.

"Oh, nothing really. I just wanted to tell you….I'M ENGAGED!" She exclaimed happily and excitedly, raising her left hand, and—yup—on her third finger, was a simple diamond ring.

I gaped and I couldn't stop staring at her ring. My eyes practically bugged out of my head.

"When did this happen?" I finally managed. She grinned.

"Yesterday! I was so shocked when Christian proposed, but can you blame me? Of course I'd be shocked! But, of course I said yes! I just didn't think he had it in him."

"Neither did I…" I murmured; eyes still wide.

"Congratulations, Lissa," Dimitri suddenly said from behind me, making me jump.

"Thank you, Dimitri! Well, I'm going to go help with the preparations! See you later, Rose! Oh, and you'll be my maid of honor, right?"

"Uh….Yeah, yeah. Sure." I smiled, though it felt forced.

She nodded and quickly hugged me, and left shortly thereafter.

"Oh. My. Heck." I said in a stunned tone.

"Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later, Rose." Dimitri noted.

I sighed. "Looks like I'll have to deal with it." I half smiled. He nodded.

He wrapped his arms around my waist, and kissed my lips, making up for the near-kiss that got interrupted earlier.

I was happy for Lissa, honestly. I was just shocked it happened so soon…and Lissa was right: I didn't think Christian had it in him…

I honestly hadn't believed he was ready to be a husband…

I wondered what would happen if Lissa wanted kids…oh, well.

I locked my arms around his neck, and his arms tightened around me.

I ran my fingers in his silky hair and kissed him harder, trying to make the kiss last.

My heart raced in my chest. "I love you," I murmured against his lips. I was breathing heavily.

He kissed my forehead, his lips lingering there for a long moment.

I heard the smile in his voice. "I love you too, Roza. Always."

I smiled; my head against his chest. Then I abruptly pulled away.

"Well, we can't stay cooped up in here forever, can we?" I said, grinning at his expression.

He arched an eyebrow, his eyes amused. "You surprise me sometimes. So when do you want to go?"

I was confused for a moment. "Go? Go where?" I frowned.

He laughed. "You forgot already? Well, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You do have quite a bit on your mind."

"Oh! Duh! I can't believe I forgot! Well, I still don't know where we're going to go, but whatever. Let's go as soon as possible. Oh, if we're going to go out of the country, we're going to have to get plane tickets, obviously."

He smiled. "Already have them but I'm not showing them to you. Since they have the name of the destination on it."

"Of course. I should have figured." I muttered and promptly shot him a glare. He grinned. I rolled my eyes but smiled. "So we are going out of the country?" I added excitedly.

"Yes, but that's all I'm telling you."

"You know I'll figure it out once we step on the plane." I pointed out, a little smug.

"I know, but I have a strong guess that you'll fall asleep during take-off."

I stared, the smugness vanished in an instant.

"You know, sometimes I can't tell whether I should feel happy or annoyed that you know too many things about me."

He laughed. "Let's go, Roza, our flight leaves in two hours."

….

Two hours later, we were on our way…(I'd found out earlier, before we stepped on the plane, that Dimitri had already notified the guardians and Lissa that we were going on a trip.

Apparently, Lissa and the guardians knew where we were going, but I didn't. Ugh. I truly hated secrets unless I was in on them…)

Like Dimitri predicted, I fell asleep before the flight attendant could announce where we were going.

As usual, I dreamt of Dimitri.
