I woke up in the happiest mood ever.
It had been a week since Dimitri and I had given in to our feelings for one another. A week of total bliss and happiness. A week of sneaking off to the cabin, every chance we got. A week on stolen kisses during training.
I was so happy to have this complete god in my life. He was too perfect, and he treated me like his goddess. I thanked my lucky stars everytime I woke up.
Yesterday I had decided to tell Lissa all about my relationship with Dimitri. I wouldnt want her to find out accidently. she would already probably be slightly pissed that I hadnt mentioned it to her, before now. So, I was now, currently walking over towards the Moroi dorms. I had already checked through the bond, to see where she was. And sure enough... by some miracle, she was in her room- alone.
I took a deep, calming breath. Then I knocked on her door, waiting for her to answer.
"Rose" she said, smiling from ear to ear. "Come in" she said, as she held the door wider for me to pass through. I entered the room, and went over to sit on her bed.
"Whats up?" she asked, sitting on the bed, beside me, with her legs crossed.
"Ive come to tell you something, Liss" I told her. I was happy. So, so happy. But I had no idea how Lissa was going to take the news. I could only hope that she would be as happy as I was. After all, Even I deserved my own happiness, didnt I.
"Okay." she said, I could tell through the bond that she was curious. Well... very curious, actually. I took a breath, to calm my nerves.
"Im dating somebody" I told her, waiting for her reaction. Her mouth fell open, for a moment.
"Really?" she asked. I nodded my head, I couldnt help the loving smile that crept over my face as I thought about Dimitri.
"Well. Who is he?. Oh Rose" she said, hugging me. "Im so happy for you, its about time you started dating" she bounced. I laughed at her. But I secretly wondered if she would be so happy when she found out that it was Dimitri that I was dating.
"Yay. We can go out on double dates." she squealed in joy, clapping her hands together, like an exited child on christmas morning.
"Erm... yeah. About that" I said, nervously. "Im not too sure that thats going to work, at least for now." I said. She looked confused.
I took a deep breath. Here it goes... "Im dating Dimitri" I told her. She looked at me, as if she hadnt heard me.
"Dimitri... You mean Guardian Belikov" she exclaimed. I nodded my head. "How long as this been going on for?" She asked, in a quiet voice.
"Weve been falling in love since the night he caught me and Jessie making out in the lounge" I admitted. Then I waited for the shit to hit the fan.
And it sure did. "What. Thats like... thats months ago" She said, a little louder than necessary. I could tell that she was hurt that I hadnt told her, I could also feel that she was happy for me, non the less.
"Rose. I wish you would of told me. Why?... Why didnt you tell me Rose?" she asked, in a hurt voice.
"Im so sorry Liss." I saiid. "Its just that at first we tried to ignore it. We tried so hard to stay away from each other" I added. "Then the night when Victor put that charm into the necklace" I trailed off. We didnt really need reminding of the night he had kidnapped her, and tortured her.
"It wasnt a charm to attack. Well... it was sort... sort of" I stuttered. "It was a lust charm" I admitted, then she gasped. "A lust charm" she repeated. I nodded my head, with a smile on my face, remembering the night we had laid together, almost naked, on his bed. We had kissed over and over, It had been the most amazing night of my life. That is until a week ago anyway. My smile turned into an angry scowl as I remembered what followed that.
"How far did you guys go, that night?" She asked. So I told her the truth, and told her how Dimitri had figured out what was happening in time for us to stop, and race to save her.
"After that we avoided each other. Well... he avoided me. He told me to report him to kirova" I told her. "But why... Why would he do that. He would have been fired" she exclaimed. I nodded my head. "Yeah. Thats why. He felt incredibly guilty about taking advantage of me. He thought that he deserved to be punished." I said.
"It wasnt his fault, It wasnt either of your faults" she said. "It was victor" she spat.
"I know... anyways, we avoided each other after that. It wasnt until Natalie turned strigoi and attacked me that he told me that he wanted me, but we couldnt be together."
"But why Rose. I mean... I know hes a little older, but not that much" she said. I laughed at her, she really wasnt bothered that Dimitri and I were a couple.
"But we couldnt be together because he's my teacher, and were both going to be your guardian" I said, as honestly as I could. She was hurt, blaming her self for the fact that Dimitri and I had fought our feelings towards each other.
"Dont Liss" I said, holding one of her hands in both of mine. "I love you. We were just so scared of not doing a good enough job in protecting you, if there was ever an attack. He thought he'd try to save me insted of you. Thats why he fought so hard, trying to ignore his love for me." I said.
"Is that why he's requested to be Christians guardian?" She asked. I nodded my head and smiled at her. "Yep. Its perfect. You two are joined at the hip anyway" I teased, nudging her, gently. She laughed.
"It does make sense." she agreed. "I cant believe I never realised though. You two are so happy when your together. I knew you were close. But I didnt know exactly how close you were. Hang on... Exactly how close are you two?" she asked, and I blushed.
"How far have you two gone?" she asked.
"All the way" I told her, I felt shock flood the bond, and a moment later she squealed in delight.
"Really... Youve had sex with Belikov. Wow... When. When did you first sleep with him?" She questioned.
"Last week. The night of the attack, After he took me away from Jessie, to calm me down." I said, she laughed.
"And... Details... " she said.
"Oh... My... Gawd..." I breathed. "Liss, it was amazing. It was like nothing else in the world, he was so gentle and sweet. It was perfect" I told her, with a great big smile on my face.
She squealed again. "Im so happy for you Rose." She said. "Its about time that you found your happiness" she said.
"Thanks Liss." I said, hugging her. "Im sorry that I kept it from you for so long. Its just the whole teacher-student relationship thing. We couldnt risk it getting out." I said.
"Its okay Rose, I understand. But please... Im your best friend. You cant keep things from me Rose" she said.
"I know Liss. I really am sorry" I told her then we hugged again. I glimpsed at the clock. "Shit!" I yelled, jumping up. "Im late for practice" I said.
"Hmm. I bet you are... Better not keep him waiting" she said, winking at me. I laughed.
"God. I love you Liss" I said laughing. I hugged her again, and then ran through the door. In a big hurry to get to the gym
