Dimitri x Rose
Rose POV
Dimitri smiled at me from across the college classroom. This was Lissa's second week of her time at Leigh. The college the late Queen Tatiana had promised she would be able to go to. Although that didn't really matter because now Lissa was the queen! It was amazing that only a couple weeks ago I was on the run from being framed for a murder. Christian was still really beaten up about Tasha being the one who really killed Tatiana. It was a shame, I know that she did it for what she thought was a good reason. She wanted Moroi to be able to fight (using magic) alongside with Dhampirs, but Tatiana didn't want that. So she had to kill her and make Lissa queen. That part had worked to her favor.
Later that day, we (we, being Lissa, Christian, Dimitri and myself.) were back at Court and that meant more time to be close to Dimitri. Speak of the devil, my hottie is walking over here right now. "Hello, Roza, I've missed you." His thick Russian accent made my heart swell. "Hey comrade, how could you miss me? I saw you at the college like an hour ago." I said in a sultry voice, flipping my hair over my shoulder. I still didn't cut it, I could have worn it up in a way to show my Molnija marks. Although I know that Dimitri loved my hair down. "I would miss you even if it had just been a minute." Okay, that did it. My heart was beating painfully fast, the butterflies jack-hammering away in my stomach. Instead of replying to his words with words, which seemed impossible to do, I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. Not a super hot kiss, but a kiss that showed him what he did to me when I was around him. He deepened the kiss, wrapping his arms around my waist; my fingers running through his incredibly soft, shoulder length hair. I tried to pull away but Dimitri kept me close, so I leaned back into him. I gave him a kiss, then a peck on the cheek, then whispered in his ear, "I have a surprise for you tonight." I pushed away and tried to make a run for it, but he caught my arm. "Do you want to tell me this surprise? Or will I have to guess?" He said in a very flirtatious tone. "Neither you won't find out until tonight. And if you don't let me go the you won't get it, comrade." I uttered more firmly than I had meant to. "Also I just want some time alone. Ever since I lost my bond with Lissa I had felt more alone than ever. True, there were thing I missed about it, but I was also happy about somethings. I no longer felt it when Lissa and Christian were shacking up in her room.. or his. Anyway, I will see you tonight. I love you." I ended my fake ramble but planting a kiss on his cheek. "I love you too, my Roza." He returned the favor and I left.
Tonight was a special night for Dimitri and I. It was our first real date. We have been through a lot together, unfortunately a date was not on that list. Although we weren't going anywhere special, it was still a big night. So I had to allow myself as much time as possible. I told Dimitri that I needed sometime to myself to try coping with Lissa and I's bond being no longer. Even though that did still bother me, tonight was all about me and Dimitri. I knew Dimitri's schedule and how seriously he took work, so I could guessed he would be home around 6 A.M.-ish. That gave me a couple hours to spend getting myself ready. Getting ready meant, showering, shaving (everywhere), picking out an outfit, doing my make up, and getting the bedroom prepped.
