Happily ever after…

In my story the Strigoi attack never happened and Rose and Dimitri carry on there lives, they endure relationship drama and the trouble of keeping their secret. People try and separate them and come between them - but can they get through this without drifting apart?

Beep Beep Beep…

I tossed and turned in my bed, tangling myself in the covers at the same time.

Beep Beep Beep…

"Shut the hell up!" I shouted angrily at my alarm clock.

Beep Beep Beep…

That was the last straw. I grabbed my alarm clock and threw it at the wall. It smashed into pieces and I groaned. "Great. Now I am going to have to find another alarm clock!"

I removed myself from the bed slowly and went to have a shower. Training started in ten minutes, so yes, I was going to be late. Again. I grabbed a pair of short shorts and a singlet. I sprinted down to the gym. Only five minutes late, I think it's a record!

I walked in to see my personal Russian God Dimitri Belikov lying on the mats reading a western novel. I really don't understand his obsession with those things! They're dreadful!

"Hey Comrade." I said cheerily. He looked up from his book and his face stayed calm and stoic.

"Laps." he said simply. I groaned loudly.

"Oh come on! Cant I do something more… interesting." I winked at him. I could see a smile pulling at the corner of his mouth.

He just laughed. "Come on Rose." He said gently. "I run them with you." He got up and I followed him outside.

We positioned ourselves at the starting line. "Lets make it a race." Dimitri said. I just nodded. "Ready… Set…" He began.

"GO!" I shouted and sprinted. Dimitri just stood startled for a minute, although he quickly regained composure and sprinted off towards me. Even with my head start I doubted I would win.

"That wasn't very fair Roza." He said once he had caught up to me.

I laughed, trying not to use up much of my energy. "No one said anything about playing fair." I said winking, and I pushed myself faster to get ahead of him.

We carried on like this for the next couple of minutes, overtaking each other constantly. Finally I could see the finish line up ahead. I pushed as hard as my aching legs could carry me. We were both side by side nothing dividing us. Then suddenly I slipped.

I collapsed to the ground and over the finish line, I brought Dimitri down with me. He landed on top of me and quickly took some of his weight off of me. However he was still on top me our bodies touching everywhere. I could feel my body heat up at the contact with him. We gazed into each others eyes, still panting for breath after our race.

We leaned forward together and our lips met. The usual passion flowed through me. I felt perfect. Like usual it became more passionate and deep. It took us both a minute to realise that we had just kissed outside in public where anyone who happened to walk past could have seen us - not that anyone would so early in the morning, but when it came to mine and Dimitri's relationship it wasn't a risk I was willing to take.

We both pulled away simultaneously, although neither of us could quite manage to break the physical contact quite yet. We just carried on gazing at each other, until Dimitri got off me. "Come on," he said gently. "We should get going before it starts to look suspicious." he said smiling warmly. Oh, how I loved those smiles.

I couldn't help but smile back. "Okay, lets get going." I said as he offered me a hand to help me get up. We walked back into the gym and sparred for a while. We shared a few more kisses before I went on my way.

As I left the gym I remembered which class I had next. Great. I walked off in a huff. Stan's class.
