Chapter 1: Spring arriving…

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Academy. But I wish I did.

I stared down the black open paved road that led to the forest. The cool spring breeze blew to my face and sent a small shiver through my body. The trees surrounding the academy were starting to sprout light green buds that will soon become new flowers when the weather became warmer.

It all happened all over again. I was able to forget all about Dimitri after we had saved him. But I still felt the loneliness of losing the one I really needed now. If it weren't for him, maybe I would've resorted to going off on my own again then kill myself just like what Anna had done when St. Vladimir died.

But I didn't. Maybe if this was a year ago, I would've probably gagged myself whenever I got the chance. I would have, but now, it's like I found my home. Not like the academy, almost like Dimitri, but something that can't be described in words. Something you can only feel, but can't explain.

I'm in love with Adrian Ivashkov. I admit it. If I was still seventeen, maybe I would've mentally slapped myself, but instead I'm mentally cheering myself on. It's been Five years since everything that happened at 's. It's has been five years since I found my first love, and four since he died. And four and a half years since I realized my true feelings for him. And three years since we got married. My dear Adrian.

I can't still remember the dating proposal that he wrote for me. It was so messy and stupid. The paper was all wrinkled, and so, so wet. Apparently it had flown into the lake behind the school wards. I couldn't stop laughing at it because the only words that survived were: You really are a Rose. And Adrian himself was also a laugh. He was drooping wet and his clothes were so soaked that they became too heavy for him to walk around in.

Even if the proposal was a failure, the meaning behind it was wonderful. He spent a whole four months just to get the first paragraph right. Any other guy would've just written it right off the bat, but he actually took his time on something so simple. All because it was for me.

I figured I should give him a chance, and I did. It turns out he really wasn't the rich, sexy, slacker, lazy, drunken, moroi I thought he was at first. He was actually the guy every girl would have killed for. Sexy, charming, chivalrous-even though it's supposed to be dead- and considerate. He was everything I needed when nobody else could do anything, the only thing that kept off the edge, and the one who coped with me when I lost Dimitri twice in a row.

Another wind blew in my face as the luminescent sun rose. The suns radiating light, if possible, made it glow even more. I wrapped my arms around myself and sighed in contentment.

I felt a strong arm wrap around my shoulders from behind me. I looked up to the beautiful jade eyes of the person who I wake up to every morning.

"Good morning." I said and gave him a warm small kiss.

"Good morning to you too, little dhampir." He smiled and I smiled back as our lips met each other for a deep, passionate kiss.

I thought I would Rose/Adrian as chance. I'll be asking for a minimum of 5 reviews if you want the next chapter.
