Me: Sup people! Another dream rewritten for VA. Sorry if they are OOC….. Rose's POV
'Stupid wind…'. Thats the only thing I can think about at the moment. Well, one of the only things.
My name is Rose. I'm on the beach with my classmates right now. We went on a field trip
in California, and our instructor said he wanted us to have some time as a class outside of sparring,
so we took a day off to come to the beach. I'm not so happy about it because I
need all the catching up I can get after those two years of living with humans. I'd rather
be at the gym, silver steak in hand, charging towards a dummy. But noooo!
That would be fun. So here I am. On the beach. Freezing half to death.
'At least he came…' I think to myself. He being Adrian Ivashkov. He's my best friend
in the class, despite the fact we get teased all the time. Sometimes having a friend of the opposite
gender is a pain in the ass, but I wouldn't trade him for the world. Lately I have been questioning
my feelings for him, all thanks to a stupid dream I've had every night for the last week. 'Why
am I even thinking about this? Its not like he'd ever actually kiss me! …. Right?'
I hate being unsure and confused. Especially when it comes to him.
Me and Adrian have known each other from the time we were eight, so about ten solid
years. I'd love to say we were friends from the moment we met, but thats not totally true.
Things have been rocky between us. When I was ten I developed a crush on him that stuck with
me till I was eleven and a half. I remember going home and crying after being informed my
feelings we not returned like I'd dreamed. But Adrian was sweet and calm about it and
helped me get over it, and we started getting close then, I guess. I liked him for a few months
again when I was fourteen, but I shook it off because the thought of risking our friendship
scared me more than I liked him. I never liked him after that, but I'm not
sure what I think anymore. As far as I knew, I loved him like a best friend and brother,
and nothing more. Then I had all those damn dreams that ended with kissing,
falling in love, sleeping in his arms…. Ugh, way to girly for my liking.
I was very wary of coming to this beach, because my dreams have been
haunted with images of him kissing me on the sand. I remembered every
last detail. And that scared me. I don't like him in that way, do I?
I don't know anymore. "Hey, Rose!"
Speak of the devil, I turn around and he tackles me to the ground. "Good God Adrian,
you've gained some weight!" I say, smiling like an idiot.
"Or maybe I need to tackle you more so you get used to it." He
says with his signature smirk plastered to his face. 'I swear that thing is etched onto
his face for all eternity….' I say. I start snickering, and he gives me a confused
look. He shakes his heard to clear his thoughts(a habit he's had for as long as I can
remember) and he climbs off of me. My lungs appreciate the release of pressure, but
I feel a wave of disappointment and longing. Next time he tackles me, I'll be sure
to savor his closeness. My thoughts are interrupted right then. "I need a break
from all this, would you mind keeping me company while I take a walk to breath?"
He asks in his velvety voice. I could listen to it all day long.
I smile at him and say yes. He surprises me by taking my hand in his and
walking with me, our backs facing the rest of the class. Little did I know
this walk would change my life and relationship with him forever.
We had been walking for around half an hour, when I asked if we could take
a break. Walking on sand tired me out for some reason, though I'd never
understood why. He nods with a smile and we sit down.
'Why is this all so familiar to me?' I ask myself, confused. Its not like I'd ever
been here before.
"Hey, I know how you like to stay in the loop of things, and I've
got some news; Eddie plans on asking Mia out tonight." He says to me.
"I hope she says yes, or we're in for one hell of an awkward drive back!" I say,
and we both laugh for a few moments, but he stops suddenly and I feel stupid for
laughing on my own.
"Have you ever been kissed?" He asks, and for one of the first times in my
life, I can't read what he might be thinking. Lying would be pointless, so I tell him.
"Nope. Guys are either friends with me, or they aren't gutsy enough to try me."
I say in an attempt to lighten the mood. I think I did a good job, but he doesn't react.
Not even a ghost of a smile.
"Neither have I. I feel like a loser sometimes. You and I are the only ones who
haven't. I just… Want to get it over with." He says, staring at the ocean.
I freeze as his words sink in. He surly knows what he just implied.
But then again, he's an airhead so he might not know.
After a moment, realization flashes through his gorgeous forest green eyes. He reaches up and
flicks his golden brown hair out of his eyes, but it falls right back into place and I fight the urge to
reach out and run my hands through it.
"I-I'm sorry! I shouldn't have said anything about it. I mean It's so stupid. Its not a big deal, just
a first kiss! Who cares really? Not me I know that!" He says, blushing. He was talking very fast,
and I know he only does that when he's:
A) nervous
B) lying
C) excited
D) all of the above
and I think its D. He looks over at me, and our eyes meet. I try to look away but
he's got me caught like a deer in headlights.
"Never speak of it to anyone." The words pass my lips before I can stop them.
"It never happened." is his response.
We start to lean in and I close my eyes. His lips meet mine, careful at first,
but something in my reaction gave him confidence, because he runs
his tongue over my lower lip, and I let him in without hesitation. His mouth tasted like
saltwater, and the mix of that with the taste of lemonade that had
lingered on my lips was the best taste in the world.
"I love you Rose." He says, staring deep in my eyes, and I knew
this was different from all the other times we'd said I love to each other.
"I love you too." And with that he pulls me into a hug, holding me
under the stars, the sound of the ocean soothing and steady in
the background….
