You're My Eyes
Chapter 1 : Breaking The News
Rose's POV :
"I'm moving out with Adrian." I announced during the dinner Adrian and I were having with my family in a restaurant.
My father chocked in his food and my mom gasped. Alberta thankfully went all silent. Such a dramatic family I had, huh?
It had been three months since my best friend, Dimitri, ditched his 'faithful' –note the sarcasm- bride in front of their wedding attendances for Jessica Peet, his true love and the best friend of my boyfriend, Adrian Ivashkov.
Three months of spending every free seconds together. Yes, I'm not kidding.
My father went crazily sick of Adrian's visiting all the time. And My mother still thought that it was only temporarily and even though she never said that I knew she still thought Adrian was going to leave me any second.
I couldn't blame her for that. She was so worried about me and so was Alberta. They both, alongside my father, tried to slow me down. To take things easy but I wasn't listening.
I already spent the whole summer with the guy and it couldn't be better. I already knew he was the one. And as he would always say to me I was his 'everything'. And I believed him.
I learnt my whole life that my instincts were my first and best allies. They'd never betray me and I knew that. And they all were screaming at me. "Go ahead. Love him more. That's right." And I'd gladly go with it.
But then things were harder than we thought.
We couldn't have any privacy in the mansion 'cause I was having the freakiest most overprotective parents in the whole world.
Yeah, I'm not even exaggerating it.
"Your father is having a heart attack, Rose." Adrian whispered very quietly near me. A tone drove everybody crazy 'cause I was the only one able to hear 'cause of my blindness that sharpened my hearing.
I snorted to pull their attention to me. "You can't do that." My father protested. "You can't just move out from the place you live in your whole life to stay with Ivashkov in some strange place."
"I just turned twenty, dad. I believe I can do that." I said nodding with a smirk. Adrian squeezed my hand willing me not to get to my father's bad side.
I turned to smile to him briefly before turning at them again. "I can't live with you guys anymore. I need some independency and what you were doing for the past three months was too annoying." I said honestly. I wasn't the sugar-coating type and I wasn't going to start with it then.
"We did it all trying to protect you, Rosemarie." My mother said refusing what I said.
I shrugged. "Doesn't change the fact that you were annoying. I've a boyfriend now and I want to move to the next level with him and you're not helping at all."
"Why don't he move in with you?" Alberta started trying to calm the things between us. An argument like that would end with blood if it wasn't for Alberta.
"NO." I snapped. "I'm not going to accept your middle solution again. Last time we did that Adrian twisted his ankle."
"He shouldn't have climbed to your window in the first place." My father replied and I knew he was glaring at my man. I didn't need to see it to know that.
"If you weren't such a stubborn overprotective father, he would not have to do it in the first place." I said frowning at him.
My father's behavior got us in a lot of problems. And when I say us I mean Adrian. The guy was so in love with me that he was tolerating it all for my sake.
"Rose, babe, relax." Adrian said resting his hand on my shoulder trying to calm me down.
I sighed loving the feelings of his warm hand over my bare skin. "I'm trying but they're not helping. Dad, I've been in Adrian's place for the whole previous month."
Gasps. Very expected.
I nodded as Adrian tightened his grip on my shoulder. I knew he was terrified from my father's reaction and that's why we didn't tell him that in the first place. "Yeah, every day. For the whole month he'd come to school taking me with him there. During my so-called extra classes 'cause I didn't have any in the first place. I lied. Happy now?"
"Rosemarie Hathaway, that's too much. Even for you." My mom said suppressing her anger.
"Give me a break. I'd have told you if you weren't stepping on my last nerve whenever Adrian visits me." I said rolling my eyes at them.
"You-" My father started addressing Adrian who was squeezing my hand.
I cut my father off. "I'm not pregnant. I'm a virgin and we never had sex. Happy now?" I took a sip from my wine before I talked again. "Yeah, Adrian is a gentleman more than you think. You really don't understand our relationship for real."
Adrian leant to me taking me closer to his body. "Abe, I assure you, I love your daughter with all I have and I'll never hurt her. I'm not with her to use her. We're in love."
I raised my hand slowly to rest it on his chin pulling him to kiss his cheek. "I love you too." Then I turned to them. "Listen guys, I love you. You've been always with me. Taking care of me and protecting me and it was amazing and I loved it and all but not anymore. I'm moving on. I'm changing. I need you to let me go. To experience life. To build my life with Adrian the way we want to." Then I sighed using my last unfair attempt to convince them. "Remember what happened the last time Dimka tried to protect me?"
Adrian's embrace tightened and the silence was the answer from my parents. I knew it wasn't fair to do that but I needed them to understand and I didn't want to do this without their approval. After all they sacrifice a lot of things for my sake and I wasn't an ungrateful spoiled brat.
Finally they started breathing a bit loudly for me to hear before my father answered. "Fine, but we've conditions."
I jumped in my seat happily grinning widely. "Great. I'd be out by the end of the week."
"WHAT?!" My mother and Alberta gasped.
I nodded. "Yeah, well, everything is ready. Adrian already bought the place. I just need to pack my stuff."
"No room sharing." Mom said cutting my babbling off.
I snorted. "Oh, please. This doesn't make sense. Besides, I can easily go to his bed at night after a scary dream." I said sarcastically.
"No room sharing and I won't be around to supervise you during the night." She murmured and I sighed.
"Fine. Fine. No room sharing." I said shaking my head. My parents were crazy.
"As long as we're living together under the same roof that's not a problem, Love." Adrian whispered next to my ear excitedly.
I nodded. "Yeah, that's good."
Then someone cleared their throat. "Are you done snuggling like that in the middle of the restaurant?" My father asked annoyed.
"Actually we're leaving." I said simply. "We're having friends night out with the gang."
"Who decided that?!" My mother asked.
"Adrian and myself. See you tomorrow, guys." I said standing up sensing Adrian doing the same too.
I blew a kiss to their direction. "Don't wait for me." I said as I squeezed Adrian's hand to move.
"Have a nice day." Adrian said in all his charming gentleman tone before he wrapped an arm around me waits holding me to him taking one of my hand in his free one walking me out of the place.
It was the same way he held me in our first date and he never stopped doing it once we got back together. And I loved how his closeness felt to me.
"I can't believe what they did." I said with a sigh once Adrian's door was closed and he started the car.
He laughed. "And your mom's condition? That was hilarious."
I flushed. "Shut up." Then I sighed. "I admit it, I hate their overprotective attitude." It really hurt me sometimes even if I didn't say it.
"Hey, hey. Why so sad? They just want to be sure you're fine. All parents do. And believe me, even if you weren't blind they'd do the same exact thing. It's just that most people have this problem earlier than the age of twenty." He explained while drawing some soothing circles on my palm.
"What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"I told you about my mom getting divorced from my father?" He asked and he indeed did once.
I nodded. "Yeah, I remember."
"I told you she got married after that to my sister's, Lily, teacher. And now he's my stepfather. The point is, when Lily went to high school they were married and to be honest he was like a father to us.
"Now Lily, started dating like any other girl in high school. You really don't want to know what he did to her boyfriends. He drove them crazy, literally. Lily would go all angry at him and they had a lot of fights even though she was his favorite.
"Now looking back, we all glad he did. She's so grateful for that saying he protected her from doing the biggest mistakes of life. I'm not saying I'm a mistake, 'cause I'm not and that's for sure." He said smugly. "But your parents are having the shock of the first date. Three months isn't enough to adjust. Sometimes even years aren't enough." He said that explaining and I loved how he talked to me. How he tried showing me what I didn't see without judging me. I loved when he'd share his past life with me.
It made me feel a real part of his life. That he wanted me for real and that he wasn't ashamed of sharing memories with me at all.
That when my phone rang. I held it out to my ear and answered.
"Hi, Rose, it is Sydney." Said a tired voice from the other side of the line.
"Hi, Syd. You there already? We're in our way." I said worried that we were late.
"No actually I'm not. You see, Christian is sick and we really can't come." She said apologetically.
"With all of that sex you guys are having of course he would." I teased trying to lighten the mood.
She chuckled. "Yeah, well, that's our luck. So sorry we can't come."
I smiled. "It's okay. We're going to do it sometime later. Don't worry and I hope Christian gets better."
"Me too." She answered back before we said our goodbyes then disconnected the line.
"Jessica got stuck in homework for school so she can't come 'cause she's going to spend sometimes with Dimitri after she's done." Adrian said once I put my phone in my purse.
Yeah, after their honeymoon Jessica finally decided it was time to go back to medical college to resume what she began with. We were all happy and Dimitri was so proud of her. He had taken care of it all and Jessica couldn't say no 'cause they were married and shared everything they had.
"Christian is sick and he and Sydney can't come." I answered back before we both laughed.
"Well, then, wanna me take you to the mansion?" He asked disappointed.
I turned to him with a frown. I knew I couldn't see but I had some good facial expressions. "Seriously, Adrian? No, we're going back to your place and if we're lucky you're going to tell me what Dean did about his adjustment."
He laughed. "He didn't adjust yet, babe."
"Oh boy." I murmured thinking that if Dean, Adrian's step father, didn't adjust then my own father was going to be worse.
"It's okay, Love. I'm not going anywhere. They can give me as hard time as much as they want but I'm staying. I love you and I can't be anywhere without you. I already know I can't survive." He told me before planting a kiss on my palm softly. I felt the heat running on my body and a smile having its way on my lips.
"I love you too, Adrian." I told him before the car stopped.
"Home sweet home." He told me happily and I chuckled. Sometimes, Adrian could be so cheesy.
