CHAPTER 1

It's only the beginning of my 1st class and I'm already over this day. Let's just say I woke up in a really bad mood. I had to witness Lissa and Christian do very inappropriate things last night, then this morning my shower didn't have warm water and my hair dryer broke and I had to start my day with wet hair. My skirt tore between morning practice and 1ste period so I had to fix it and that made me late for Stan's class; he was just looking for a reason to pick on me today; but on the bright side my birthday is in three weeks. Finally it was lunch time and I was really happy to see Lissa. But we didn't talk much she was to busy with Christian to notice me; like I said bad day. The rest of the day went by like a blur; except my training session with DIMITRI. He made me run laps because I made fun of the music he had on again.

"You know if you stop commenting on my taste of music, life will be a lot easier for you, less running" Dimitri said almost smiling.

"Oh come on Comrade admit it your life would be very boring with out me"

"Boring but peaceful"

"Whatever" I said finishing my last lap. We still had a lot of time left; he didn't think I would finish so quickly. "Alright Rose now give me 20 push ups and 20 sit ups" he said. I did it with out complaining cause what's the point in arguing with him he will just make me do 20 more.

When I was done he made me run some more. There was about 15 minutes left "Are you exited about your road trip with Lissa?" he asked

"Yeah will do me some good to just get away, you know. But I thought you where gonna come along because Liss said that we are going to Russia or some place in Russia. I think the place is called Bay or something'

"Baia that's my home town I would love to go along I will speak to Kirova about that. Thanks for telling me about it Roza." Oh my soul every time he calls me ROZA I want to die of happiness. We said our goodbyes and I went to my room. I got in the shower and my warm water still was not working. Now I'm angry. I jumped out of the shower and got dresses in a yellow sundress that Lissa got me last time we went to the mall. I walked straight to Kirova's office. My hair was still in a messy wet bun and I did not have shoes on. Just before I could open the door someone came out of Kirova's office. Dimitri. Great I look like a wet dog in a yellow sundress. Dimitri closed the door behind him and looked at me with a smile on his face. I couldn't help it I smiled too.

Excuse me Dimitri I would like to yell at Kirova" I said and tried to push him aside but he grabbed my arm before I could open the door. His smile faded

"What is wrong Rose?" "My damn warm water is not working since this morning, now I would like to tell Kirova that in the nicest Rose way ever and demand that she shower in ice water" He tried to hide his smile but couldn't.

"Rose, Kirova said I can come along on the trip with you , Christian and Lissa it will only be the four of us and if you yell at her now she will cancel the whole trip, do you really want that? Come with me." He said and walked away. I followed him to my room and we stopped at the door. I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at him in a playful way. "Dimitri I really just want to ask Kirova why my water isn't working I'm not, and I repeat, not going to shower in ice water again" He laughed and pointed to the door.

"Of course not Roza get your shower stuff and clothes and then you can use my shower. You can ask Kirova in the morning, when your not mad, why your warm water is off." I nodded and opened my door. My room was a little messy but nothing to be ashamed about. He sat on my bed while I went in the bathroom and got my soap and shampoo. I put them in a little carry on bag and went to my closet to find PJ's. I got out my short red PJ bottoms with the word 'sexy bun' on the back and a white tank top. I put my underwear in my tank top so Dimitri doesn't see them. I was good to go. "Okay Comrade I'm all set lets go" He stood up and we went to his room. He opened the door and let me go in first. His room was still like I remember it.

"The bathroom is through there" He pointed to a door on the left side of the room. I nodded and went in. The small bathroom smelt like him, well his aftershave. I left my clothes on his bed. Why I did that I really don't know but I'm already undressed so it was too late to go back. I hopped in the shower and the warm water was amazing. I washed my hair and body and just stood there for a while. When I finally wanted to get out I realized I didn't even bring a towel. Well this was going to be embarrassing. I turned off the water and yelled.

"Dimitri; are you still there."

"No Rose I'm at the library." He said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes before answering. "I have a little problem. I forgot to bring a towel and my clothes are on your bed so could you please lend me a towel and bring my PJ's just throw them in the door please." I heard him laughing. I turned on the water again and stood under it closing my eyes. A few seconds later I heard the door open and close. I thought he just dropped the towel and clothes in but when I turned around I saw him standing there, naked and looking sexy as ever. I blinked a couple of times just to be sure it was really him and then I covered my breast and other parts with my hands. "DIMITRI do you mind I'm naked over here!" I yelled and he laughed again and walked closer. Next thing I know he is in the shower with me.

"I can see that Roza and I don't mind at all. I have been dreaming about this ever since the night of the lust charm and I love you, Roza I don't want to hide my feelings for you anymore." He leaned in and kissed me. I kissed him back putting my arms around his neck pulling him closer to me. Our bodies were one in that moment; I didn't know where mine ended and his begun; he picked me up wrapping my legs around his waist and carried me out of the shower and onto his bed never breaking the kiss. After that we didn't hold back and it was the best night of my life. We fell asleep and I was happy.

I woke up lying on Dimitri's chest and he was stroking my hair and watching me. I looked up at him and we both smiled at each other.

"Good morning my beautiful Roza; did you sleep well?" He said kissing my hair

"Mmm… good morning my Russian Battle God. Yes I slept wonderfully well." We both laughed and he kissed me and boy what a kiss that was. 'Rose where are you; the plane leaves in like ten minutes. I'm on my way to Dimitri's room. Get me at the landing strip in four.' Lissa said through the bond.

"Shit! Not now." I said out loud and jumped out of bed and ran to his bathroom. The only thing I had to wear was the sundress or my PJ's so I went with the sundress. Dimitri knocked on the door really hard. "Roza is everything okay? Did I do something wrong? If I did; I'm sorry." I opened up the door after I was dressed and kissed him. "No Lissa is on her way here get dressed. The plane leaves in ten minutes and we haven't even start packing." There was a knock on the door. I opened it while Dimitri started packing. Lissa looked confused.

"What are you doing here Rose I have been looking for you every where?" "Hi to you too; I just came to see if Dimitri was ready. So I will be going now I forgot to pack I will be two minutes. See you at the plane." I kissed her cheek and ran off to my room. I packed with strigoi speed and ran to the landing strip with a minute to spare. Lissa and Dimitri weren't even there yet. I put my two big bags in the luggage space outside the plane to be loaded later when Lissa and Dimitri showed up. I smiled at them and Lissa shook her head playfully. Dimitri took Lissa's bags to the luggage space and talked to one of the captains. Lissa stood next to me and smiled her 'I know what you did' smile. "What Liss?" I asked acting all innocent.

"I know what you and Dimitri did, Rose. Don't even try to hide it" She was still smiling. "I have no idea what you're talking about"

"Oh don't act dumb Rose you had sex with Dimitri. I could smell it this morning and you both had sex hair. So don't even try to deny it Rose Hathaway". Maybe it was time to come clean she is my best friend "Okay, okay Liss you got me. I really love him Liss and he loves me. Please don't say anything to anyone not even Christian" I looked at her when a voice came from behind us. "What should she not tell me?" Great; speak of the devil. Christian kissed Lissa's cheek and looked at me again waiting for my answer. "

Sparky! Hi. Oh it's nothing important just girl stuff, that should stay between girls." I looked at Lissa. Christian opened his mouth to protest but Dimitri and the Captain came to us and told us we may board the plane.

"Later; Rosie; we will talk later." Christian said with a smirk on his face and I gave him the deadliest glare ever, he looked at Lissa and she laughed. They walked away boarding the plane and it was only Dimitri and me left outside. He looked at me and raised one eyebrow. "What? It wasn't me" I said and he laughed.

"What did Christian mean by 'later'?" He was all serious now. "Okay don't get mad but Lissa kind of figured out that we did you know what last night and I asked her not to tell him, but as I said that he came up behind us and now he wants to know what we are hiding from him. But don't stress I can handle little Christian Ozera. And I'm really sorry Liss found out." He looked at me and all I could see in his eyes were love and passion. He walked till he was right in front of me and said. "I'm sure you can handle him Roza and I'm not upset about Lissa finding out. I'm just happy we don't have to hide our feelings on this trip. My mother would be so happy I finally found someone I truly love and I guess Christian is going to find out to because I'm not holding back on this trip. We are even going on dates" I laughed and we walked to the plane. Once we where all seated the plane took off. Dimitri was sitting next to me and Lissa and Christian were sitting in the seats in front of us. Dimitri took my hand and smiled. Lissa looked at me and asked through the bond 'This is killing me Rose can I please tell him he will be really happy for you and he will not tell anyone. I hate keeping things from him.' I nodded at her and she smiled. She turned back to Christian and told him. I looked at Dimitri and he smiled one of his rare smiles at me. I fell asleep with my head on his shoulder.
