Speck's Of Silver

I pulled into my dad's beach house, on a beautiful day in North Carolina. It had been three years since I've seen my dad, and it was all my mother's fault. The jealously that my mother had over my father and I's relationship was horrible, she kept me from ever contacting him. Which is why, at nineteen, I finally found the courage to stand up to my mom and drive down to North Carolina. I was deciding to take a year off art school and spend it with him.

I looked at myself in the rear-view mirror. I was a mix of my mother and my father. I had my dad's green eyes, but my mom's waist length black hair, and skinny body. I wasn't tall, I stood at 5'3, I had assets, that most girls would die for, meaning boobs and an ass. Other then that I was a striving artist, which bugged my mother. She lived in L.A, which meant I was supposed to be a movie star, boy was she wrong.

I got out of the car and slammed my door closed. My dad descended the stairs and I ran over and wrapped him in a hug. "Daddy." I whispered

"Rosemarie." My dad said pulling back to look at me "You look more and more beautiful every day."

"I've missed you so much." I told him "It's been way to long."

"Yes it has. Come on, let's get your bags and we'll head out to dinner." My dad helped me grab all my bags and we dropped them in the guest room. Then we got into his car and he took me to a local restaurant they had in town.

Once we were seated I prepared myself for my father's questioning. "So, how have you been?" he asked. me.

"I've been good. School, painting and drawing that usually art stuff." I told him.

"You were always an amazing artist. Even from a young age I knew you would do something with art. Whenever I told your mom she would deny it."

"Yeah, well she still does." I mumbled taking a sip of my water.

"Have you talked to her?" he asked.

"Nope, not since we got in that big fight. I wonder if she even realizes that I'm gone."

"Rosemarie, don't talk like that." he scolded me.

"Dad, she horrible. She thinks just because she was an amazing actress that I can be. Well guess what, I think acting is stupid."

"We'll talk about this later." My dad said as our waiter came over and we ordered what we wanted.

"Abe?" A girl my age said and walked over to the table.

"Lissa," my dad said smiling "it's good to see you here. How's your mom?"

"She's good." Lissa said. She had to be my age, maybe a little older. She had long blond hair and the most amazing blue eyes. She also had the body of a model.

"That's always good to hear. This is my daughter, Rosemarie."

"You can call me Rose." I told her shaking her hand.

"Lissa, and welcome to Wilmington. . I better get going, but I'll see you around, nice meeting you Rose." Lissa hurried away.

"She's a good kid." my dad said "Her dad is one of my really good friends, we go fishing a lot."

"That's nice." I told him. Our food came and we ate in silence.

"So, is there a uh, boy, I should know about?" my dad asked in between bites.

"No, dad," I said smiling "there is no boy."

"Thank god." he said sighing. "They're too much work anyway, you don't need to get involved with them." We finished our dinner and we walked in the town a little. "There's the play ground, police station, elementary school."

"Geez, everything is like smack in the middle of town." I told him "Is there a store I can buy art supplies at?"

"Yeah, Steven's Supplies is just behind the bank. It's the best we've got."

"That's good. In L.A it took me forever just to find a place that sold canvases."

"Not here, you can get almost anything in this town." My dad said. We walked back to his car and we drove home. "I'm glad you've decided to stay here with me."

"I am too dad. I love spending time with you." I told him. Once we got back I went to my room and began unpacking my bags. I pulled pictures from back home of me and my best friend Mason. Once I was finished I shoved my suitcases under the bed and walked back downstairs. "I'm going to go explore." I yelled to my dad in the kitchen and walked out the back porch and was greeted by the ocean.

I walked along the beach holding my shoes as my feet met with the water. It was so peaceful, and so different then L.A, I love d it. I walked back up onto land and slipped my feet back in my shoes. I heard footsteps coming towards me and looked up to see Lissa standing next to me.

"Hey, Rose." she said smiling

"Hi." I said brushing the sand off my hands.

"What to walk around, I could give you another tour?" I really had nothing else better to do so I accepted.

"What's that?" I asked pointing

"The park, but it doesn't just stop there if you follow the trail it leads to a second park. It's so cool."

"That's is pretty cool." I told her.

"So what do you do in your spare time?" Lissa asked me.

"I paint, and sketch."

"You must be really good." We walked a little farther and we stopped in front of a cafe. "This is Kyle's Cafe, almost everybody comes here and chills on Fridays and sometimes Saturday. "

A patrol car rolled down the street and Lissa waved. The guy inside gave a small smiled and waved back. "Who was that?"

"Oh that's Dimitri Belikov, he's the chief here. He also happens to be my older brother." He cop car came to a stop and a very, very tall handsome man got out. He had the warmest brown eyes, and short brown hair to match. As he got closer the taller he got, the top of my head didn't even reach his shoulders. "Go away."

"Hey, I'm just checking up on you." Dimitri said to Lissa, he showed no emotion on his face, he kind of scared me.

"You don't need to. I can handle myself." she told him crossing her arms over her chest.

"Right." he finally noticed me standing next to her "And who is this?"

"Rose Hathaway, she's Abe Mazur's daughter." Lissa told him.

"Nice to meet you. " he said and turned away from he. I couldn't help but catch a slight Russian accent. "Stay out of trouble." he told Lissa and walked back to his cop car.

"Sorry about him, he's really protective." she said as we began walking again.

"He had an accent, how come you don't?" I asked her

"My brother Dimitri and our other sister Viktoria , they're twins and, my parents lived in Russia until they were five and moved here. Then they had me and I guess I never picked up the accent."

"Oh, wow."

"Yeah, I know. Hey, have you ever painted like a mural?" I nodded "I'll mention your name because I know everyone has said a mural on the blank wall by the park would be nice."

"That would be awesome." I told her

"You'd get paid good money too."

"Cool ,hey it's getting late so I'm going to head home. Thanks for the tour." I told her.

"Okay, hey I woke at the cafe so stop by and we'll plan a night to hangout." she said waving.

"Okay." I told her and found my way home.


I couldn't sleep. I laid in my bed staring at the ceiling, finally I looked at the clock, 3:45. I got up, put on shorts and a pair of tennis shoes , and walked out to the beach. It was completely empty so a jog would do good.

Half way down the beach I was already tired and worn out. I turned back around and walked back home enjoying the silence, it was never this quite in L.A. Once back home I took and shower, changed and went on the computer.

Lissa had already requested me on facebook, and I accepted. I was about to sign out, but I went on Lissa's page and looked though her photo, specifically the ones with Dimitri in them. Finally, I ended my creeping session and went back to bed.

To my surprise, sleep took me over.


"Morning sunshine." my dad said once I finally got up at ten. "What are your plans for the day?"

"Not, sure." I told him "Maybe I'll just visit Lissa at her work and then paint."

"Sound's fun. I have work, but I'll call you later." my dad said kissing my forehead. My dad was a lawyer and he worked a lot. Once my dad felt, I brushed my teeth and hair and changed clothes. I walked into Kyle's Cafe and saw Lissa waiting on tables.

"Rose!" she said motioning for me to come over "You're just the girl I wanted to see. Kyle!" A tall blond guy walked out from behind the counter. "This is Rose, the one I was telling you would paint our blank wall.

"Oh, you're the painter girl. Yeah, okay so just paint the wall, I don't care what it is, make it sure it's not disturbing, don't disturb the kids at the playground and everything will be good."

"That's it?" I asked

"Yeah, that's it. I'll pay you two grand." my mouth dropped open "Here's five hundred so you can buy some supplies." he handed me money.

"I-I don't know what to say." I stammered.

"Just agree." he said laughing.

"Yes," I said smiling "I'll take the job."

"Alright, good. I gotta get back to work, but this mural better be good." he said and walked away.

"See, now you have a job and it's only your second day here." Lissa said smiling "Do you know where the supply store is?" I nodded "Cool, well I'll stop by and see how far you are at my break."

I walked to the supply store and got everything I needed. I headed back home, dropped the supplies off and walked back to the park. I sat in a bench that faced the blank wall. I started sketching and drew up the idea of painting the down but having some of the little kids put their hand print places.

"Hello." I turned to see a little girl with curly blond hair sit next to me.

"Hello." I said smiling.

"What are you looking at?" she asked me.

"The wall, I'm going to be painting it."

"Oh, you're going to make it pretty?" I nodded "I'm Emilee."

"I'm Rose." I told her.

"That's pretty." she said swinging her feet.

"Em!" I heard a voice shout. I turned and saw Dimitri walking over to us. "Emilee, please don't walk off like that."

"Sorry Uncle Dimitri." she said looking up at him and smiling. "I made a new friend."

"Yes, I see." Dimitri said looking at me. Still no emotion.

"Sorry." she said giving him puppy dog eyes. Finally he smiled showing a set of perfect white teeth. He was a god.

"Yeah, let's get you back to your mom's before she kicks my butt." he said picking her up.

"Bye, Rose!" Emilee said waving.

"Bye." I said and Dimitri carried her away.


"Dad?" I shouted walking downstairs. It was close to ten, and I thought I heard someone walk in but the house was empty. There was a knock at the back door and when I opened it Lissa stood there. "Hey."

"You wouldn't happen to be doing anything?" she asked me. I shook my head "Come over, we're having a bonfire." No one was home so it really didn't matter. I grabbed my big cardigan and followed her to her house.

Once we got there we walked to the backyard and there was a bunch of people there, including Dimitri. I followed Lissa and took the seat next to Dimitri, hoping I could somehow have a conversation with him.

"Hi." I said looking at him . He sipped his beer and looked at me.

"Hello." he said.

"I saw you today." What an idiot, was that all I had to say.

"Yup." he replied and turned back to stare at the fire. I mentally slapped myself in the face. Why couldn't I just talk to him. Before I could try again, he got up and Lissa took his spot.

"I know what you're doing." Lissa said.

"What?"

"You like Dimitri, don't get me wrong most of the girls do." Lissa said smiling "So, my suggestion for you, ask about him. He's always with girls that talk about themselves, it gets annoying."

"Wait, so should I go try again?" we both looked over but Dimitri was already in a conversation with another girl.

"What the hell is Tasha doing here?" Lissa said trying to get a better look at the couple.

"Lissa, stop it's fine." I told her.

"The bitch is psycho." Lissa said laughing "Plus, I saw the way you looked at Dimitri."

"I looked at him like I would look at any other guy."

"Right." Lissa said unconvinced. "Here, have a beer and relax." I never really drank, maybe because when I did I was out of control, but what the hell.

Dimitri POV

As the night went on I noticed Lissa kept shoving beer's in Roses hand. "Lissa, stop." I said grabbing her arm as she went for another one.

"What?" Lissa asked.

"Look at Rose, she's drunk." I told her. Rose tried to stand but fell into the sand, thank god there were not a lot of people around. "I'll take her home." I walked over to Rose, and grabbed her arm.

"What are you doing?" she said smiling at me.

"Taking you home, come on." I said pulling her along the beach.

"Oh, look at the pretty water." Rose said pointing like a five year old. "I want to swim!"

"No!" I said holding her arm tighter.

"Dimitri, please!" she whined. She kept trying to pull away so I picked her up and swung her over my shoulder. Once we got to her house I set her on her feet. Not till then did I actually pay attention and notice how beautiful Rose was. With her brown eyes and long black hair.

"Is your dad home?" I asked. She lifted up her shoulders and let them fall. "Alright, well I'll just carry you inside too." I picked her up and walked her inside, where it also was quite. "Which room is yours?"

"That one!" she shouted. I walked into a big room and laid her on the big bed. She kicked off her shoe's and I pulled the covers over her. "Gnight."

"Night, Rose." I said smiling and moved a piece of hair from her face. The moon was shining and the light from it danced on her face, she looked like an angel.

Rose POV

I woke up with a major headache. I couldn't believe I blacked out. I didn't remember a thing, and I felt like I wanted to throw up everywhere. When I walked into the kitchen there was a note from my dad saying he was at work. Great.

I ate, showered and changed throwing on shorts and a lose tee, and packed all the paint into the car. The sun killed my eyes but I wanted to start on the mural. Once I got there I unloaded the paint and lightly with pencil drew where everything was.

"Rose!" I turned to see Emilee run up to me.

"Hey Emilee." I said smiling.

"Are you painting today?"

"I am."

"Can I help please?" she begged.

"Emilee, leave Rose alone." I looked up to see Dimitri, in his cop uniform walk up behind her.

"Look Uncle Dimitri, she's painting." Emilee said pointing and smiling.

"I see, and she probably wants to be left alone."

"Can I help tomorrow?" Emilee asked.

"Yes you can. You can paint the grass." I told her.

"See told you she needed my help." Emilee said sticking her tongue out at him and running away.

"How are you feeling?" Dimitri asked. It took me a moment to notice he was talking to me. "You were pretty wasted last night."

"Did you carry me home?" he nodded "I'm so embarrassed."

"It's fine, we all have those nights."

"No, it's not okay. I've only been here two days and I've already gotten wasted." I said running my hands over my face.

"Really, Rose, it's fine." Dimitri said and the he smiled, he actually smiled at me. "I better, get Emilee home and I have to start work. I'll see you around."

"Yeah." I said smiling "Thank you again, for carrying me home."

"It's no big deal." He said and walked away.
