Chapter 1
I came into the gym dreadfully a few days after we got back from the ski trip. I knew Dimitri wouldn't be there. I knew I would be getting a new mentor and he or she would tell me that Dimitri is now guarding Tasha, and just as I suspected there was a guardian I've never seen before siting on the mats. He looks up and speaks, "Guardian Belikov is not going to be your mentor-" I cut him off. "I know you will. Just lets get training." He sighs that seems kinna like a sigh of relief and moves on.
(Five years later)
"Rose... Rose... Wake up." I look up and see Lissa's face above mine. I sit up and get out of bed. "God, What time is it? It feels early." Lissa laughed. "It's 6:30" I immediately turn from my closet. "WHAT! I told you never to wake me up this early!" To my annoyance she laughs again and says, "Well we are going to be having visitors. Tasha and Dimitri are coming and they are going to be staying here for a while." I just stare at her. I can't believe it. Dimitri... Coming to stay... In MY house..? I can't believe Lissa didn't tell me about this. After all it is MY house. All of a sudden a VERY tired looking Adrian pops out of the blankets on my bed. "Dimitri and Tasha are coming to stay in the house?" Adrian is the only person who knows me and Dimitri ever had a thing for each other and I was planing on keeping it that way. "Why the hell do they have to stay here? Why can't they find like a freaking hotel or something to stay in? I mean they could come in visit you." He said in a fast panicked voice. "You could go see them.." I mutter so that only Adrian heard who was now at my side only in boxers looking for something to wear. Adrian had purposed to me last month and we have been very busy planing the wedding that I understand Lissa would forget to tell me.
After we finished getting ready we went downstairs to were Lissa and Christian now were, when Christian says to Adrian, "Dude, I heard you have a grudge against my aunt? What the hell man? She never even said a word to you." Adrian muttered something that sounded like "thank god" and walked over and poured himself a cup of coffee. Christian and Lissa went into conversation about when they think that they will get here. I just stood there in the doorway wishing there was anyway I could get out of this without having to tell Lissa about me and Dimitri, when all of a sudden arms were around me and I felt Adrian walk me toward the chair casually but I knew he thought I should sit down so that I don't faint or have a meltdown.
The rest of the morning after that was hell. All Christian and Lissa could think about when they thought they'd get here. But the good thing is that i had Adrian. He stayed by side all morning not lifting his eyes off me. Usually "I love you's" just seem like words that people don't mean, but seeing how Adrian was devoting all his time to make sure I'm okay... Thats amazing. Lissa and Christian we sitting on the couch why me and Adrian were lying on the huge chair, is when I fall asleep in his arms.
I'm woken up by someone say or more like squealing an aww out. I open my eyes and see that Adrian had fallen asleep too, and all eyes in the room which included Christian, Lissa, Tasha, and Dimitri were all staring at us. I look directly into Dimitri's eyes and see regret in his eyes. Like he was realizing for (oddly) the hundredth time that he could be the one holding me in his arms. Sleeping peacefully with each other. I can just see it with my own eyes. I sit up and say, "Tasha, Guardian Belikov, How nice to see you again."
