My competition prompt was Winter…

I have like a hundred ideas running through my head and I did not know which one to choose, so I eventually decided on this one.

Rose has never been able to ski, no matter how hard she tries. So when Lissa drags her along to the Alps for the winter, she hires a ski instructor so that Rose can learn once and for all and not sit around in the chalet the whole holiday.

So in comes Dimitri Belikov, rough and rugged and devilishly handsome. So after a few weeks of spending practically every day together, the two became very close and soon Rose is completely enamoured with him.

It is the last week before Rose has to leave to go back to America and they both are trying to get as much time together as possible. Rose and Lissa are nineteen and Dimitri is twenty six.

This is T-Rated as I mention sex, I didn't know if it should be but I would rather be safe…

"Liiiisss," I whined well dragging my feet towards the front desk carrying both of my huge bags and my newly bought skis that were still wrapped in the plastic. I still did not understand why Lissa dragged me all the way out here.

I vaguely remembered her saying something about how her pyromaniac boyfriend getting a job in a ski village. I rolled my eyes at the thought of them; if there ever was true love in this world I would swear those two were the embodiment of it.

"…and the instructor I hired for my friend?" I caught the end of Lissa's convocation with the lady behind the desk. I glared at the both of them but knew there was no point in arguing with Lissa once she has decided on something.

Once they had decided what was going to happen and all the details, the lady held out our chalet key and I grabbed it from her.

For a couple of days I stayed inside, just reading and sleeping trying to combat the effects of jet-lag. There was a knock on the door, I got up while smoothing my teddy bear T-shirt and shorts down and opened the door expecting Christian to be standing there but instead one of the best looking men stood there.

His eyes went wide when he saw what I was wearing but all he did was stick his hand out and say; "Miss Hathaway? My name is Dimitri Belikov and I will be your ski instructor for the remainder of the winter." Suddenly this place wasn't looking so bad…

So the next day I met up with him at the top of the children's hill, now normally I would complain that I had been given a babies task but for me it could have been an Olympic ski route. We started off slowly and by the end of the day knew how to go down the hill, well on my butt; I'm still counting it though.

It went like that for the rest of the week and the week after and so forth. Soon I was able to go down the mountain only falling a few times; my problems were getting up once I had fallen and those darn ski lifts. And those two generally went hand in hand…

This pattern continued until one day I had fallen in such a way that I had landed in front of Dimitri and he ended up tripping over and landing on me. Now Dimitri is a big man, and not fat but muscular and he was heavy.

When I looked up at him to tell him to get off of me I caught his eyes and realised how close we were too each other. In the movies this would have been the perfect time to kiss but I guess we weren't in a movie.

For the next couple of days it was quite awkward between us and we barely said two words to each other, well that was until I got sick and tired of it. We used to joke and play around but now nothing, he was as cold as the snow we skied on.

"What the hell is your problem, I mean it's not like we actually kissed!" I exclaimed after swallowing the bite of my sandwich. "You're a grown man so you really should start acting like one!"

Without any hesitation Dimitri then leaned over and gave me the most passionate kiss that I have ever had in my entire life. and just like the describe in movies and books, I felt my knees go weak and my heart begin to race and it seemed as if he whole word had slowed down to enjoy this moment with me.

He pulled back and looked at the dopey expression, I knew I had on my face, and smirked. "Wow that was a good way to shut you up. Oh and I've wanted to do that sense the moment I introduced myself to you." I felt myself blush and giggle like a fifteen year old girl. It was that night I gave myself to a man for the first time, I became a woman or in other words I lost my virginity: finally at the age of nineteen.

There was one week until I had to leave to go back home, I had spent a total of eight weeks with Dimitri and I know it might have been the hormones or the fact that a guy had actually paid me any attention but I was sure I was in love.

I mean my stomach felt all funny when I was around him and when I thought of him a dreamy sigh always worked its way out of my lips without me even thinking about it. I bet that if Lissa didn't spend all of her waking time with her lover boy; she would have noticed a change in me.

I was excited for today because Dimitri said that he had something special planned for us after he had finished his lesson for today. I also had something special; I was going to tell Dimitri I loved him.

I was sure that loved him, I have even decided that if he wants I will go back to Siberia and meet the family he talks about. I started getting ready, placing all my thermal layers on but was sure to put my nice looking clothes underneath, because who knows we might end up at Dimitri's cabin later on…

I walked outside and saw him standing by the place we would normally meet. I gave him a big warm smile when I walked up and I got one in return, god I loved his smile. He gave me a huge bear hug and I felt safe in his arms, he grabbed my hand and we made our way over to the ski lifts.

"Now Roza, jump onto the ski lift like I taught you." He bent over in the correct position and I mirrored his pose and got ready to jump but as usual I wimped out as the chair got near me.

Dimitri sighed and reached around my waist and picked me up and hoisted me onto the next seat that came past and then with cat like grace hoped onto the one behind me. I leaned my head back and looked at him.

"You look very funny upside down," I stated in a matter-of-fact voice. He blushed slight but it was barely noticeable, he pointed forward and moved his goggles onto his eyes, I turned and did the same. I prepared myself for the jump and I knew that I couldn't chicken out like I had earlier.

I hoped off and landed perfectly, I did a victory pose but only to land up falling on my butt. A large hand appeared in my vision and I grabbed it allowing Dimitri to pull me up. I pressed my body against his and felt his throaty chuckle.

We started down the hill at a very slow pace, I might not be at Dimitri's level but I am much better than I was at the beginning of the winter. Dimitri would race a head doing all sorts of stunts and dangerous manoeuvres whereas with me I was proud of myself if I got to the bottom only falling once or twice.

Once we got to the bottom of the hill, Dimitri pulled me off to the side and into the forest. He stopped me and told me to take off my skis. Once that was down he pulled me through the maze of trees and shrubs, everything was covered in a blanket of white snow and I knew for a fact that if it wasn't for me layering up I would be freezing.

Dimitri lead me into a clearing which had a table which was covered by a flannel looking blanket, one that I had seen the once or twice I had been in Dimitri's room. He led me over and picked me up and placed me down as if I was glass.

"I thought we could watch the sun set together but I didn't want you to get sick so therefore blanket on the table." He gestured while hoping up next to me and pulling me to lie against his chest.

I played with his fingers, I really wanted to ask Dimitri something but I didn't want to sound like the naïve little girl that I often felt like inside. I turned my head and looked at the snowflakes falling around us.

"What's going to happen with us Dimitri? I mean when I go back to America and you go back to Siberia. I'm really going to miss you." I said it and held my breath; I was worried about his answer.

I felt Dimitri stiffen beneath me; I turned my head to look at him. He looked away as my eyes met his. I felt a cold feeling wash over me, and it had nothing to do with the snow falling around me.

I sat up and looked down at him, "Dimitri tell me what's going on." I said in a small voice, but he still wouldn't look at me. I got up and off of the table and stood with my hands on my hips, I wanted to seem strong but I was crumbling inside.

"Roza, Roza after I finish working here, I'm going back to Siberia and well, I'm going back to my wife…"

Ok well I hope it was alright, I have never written from a prompt before and it was really fun.

Please review and tell me what you thought.

Thanks Ash…
