Rose P.O.V.
When the sound of my alarm clock penetrated my ears and pulled me out of a peaceful slumber, my first instinct was to throw it off the nightstand and go back to sleep. Until I remembered today's date.
I sat up with a smile and turned around, looking at the calendar on the wall above my bed. I grabbed a pen and marked an "x" on the box containing the date, marring the heart that had represented the journey I was to take today.
Rolling off my bed in good spirits, I ran to the shower wasting no time getting ready. I couldn't afford be late today. After taking what I considered one of the quickest showers of my life, I dressed in a comfortable outfit for the flight not caring what anyone else thought of my clothing. I wore my favorite pair of gray sweatpants with a red tank top and a pair of sandals. In a hurry, I brushed my teeth, after putting on my makeup and throwing anything that I may have forgotten back in to suitcase.
I ran to Lissa's room after locking my door, not bothering to knock. The sound of the sink running in the bathroom let me know she was still brushing her teeth. I set my suitcase down next to the door when she had her's.
"Liss, c'mon! The plane leaves in an hour and it takes half that time to get there." I shouted to be sure she heard me over the running water. "This is the first time I've ever not been late for something and I'm not going to let you ruin it!"
I heard her turn the water off and out of the bathroom. She wore a stunning green blouse that made her eyes look beautiful and a pair of jeans that made me envious of her slim figure with a pair of ballet flats. Her hair was perfect and next to her, there was no way a guy would even give me a second glance. It didn't matter that we were going to be on a flight that was twelve hours long, she always had to be dressed as if she came from a photo shoot.
"Don't be dramatic, Rose. We'll be there on time." She said rolling her eyes. After giving me a once-over, she raised her eyebrow.
"You know, not everybody dresses to impress, Liss. Some people just want to be comfortable when they are on a plane for half a day." I told her.
She blushed and looked down at her outfit. "Is it too much?" She asked seriously. "I can change it if-"
"No!" I cut her off. "It's fine! Let's just go gather Sparky and leave, okay?"
She laughed lightly,"You must really be excited. Okay, Let's go get Christian."
"No need." Christian declared, strolling through the door without knocking, just as I had done earlier. "Ready to go?"
"Finally." I said walking out of the building towards Lissa's car. I threw my suitcase into the trunk next to Lissa's leaving the trunk open for Sparky to do the same, before climbing into the back seat with my carry-on. I waited in the car for a few moments before being joined by Christian and Lissa.
"Ready for Russia?" Lissa asked no one in particular.
