It's short but its the best I can do right now :/ I might actually add one song to each chapter, that will hopefully, add some insight as to their past ;D
"Set Fire To the Rain" -Adele
I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they're strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew.
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you're here forever
You and me together
Nothing gets better
'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew,
All the things you'd say,
They were never true, never true,
And the games you play
You would always win, always win.
But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Well, it felt something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!
Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught, must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you.
I set fire to the rain,
Watch it pour as I touch your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain,
And I threw us into the flames
Well, it felt something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time
The last time, oh, oh!
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
I found myself staring into a pool of pure brown. I could feel my eyes widening, as he straightened me out, looking just as surprised as I was. What was he doing here?
"Oh god, Rose you alright?" it took me a while to realize Tasha was talking to me. I turned to look at her, and surprised to see her worried. It took me a while for it to click. She reached out, almost afraid to touch my stomach. My heart was beating like crazy and I was disoriented.
"I'm fine," I said, then corrected myself,"We're fine." I was breathless as Tasha led me to the nearest seat. With him close behind.
I focused on the blue orbs worried about me, but I could feel my presence. Almost immediately Tasha looked eyes darted to me.
"Well, I guess you two have met each other already. Dimitri meet youur new assistant, Rose meet you new boss, Dimitri Belikov."
The earth stood still. I didn't know what to do, say, my mind went blank. Fucking fantastic. Not.
I stood up to face him, sticking out my hand, not daring to look at him in the eye.
"Welcome," he said softly. "Are you alright?"
He was always so polite. I found myself melting due to his Russian accent. It brought many memor- Snap out of it, motherfucker. I almost slapped myself. Oh god, I'm such an idiot.
I remembered how to speak. "Thank you," I said matching his tone.
"Rose, if you want to go to the doctor..."
Right now I just wanted to shove down something down her fucking mouth.
"No, thank you Tasha, I'm good." She nodded and walked away to do her work.
I was left alone with him.
When I looked at him, her was already looking at me- or well, my stomach.
That was the thing about being pregnant. People saw the baby, your baby bump, not you. Almost as if you didn't exist anymore. I shifted one foot, and crossed my arms over my stomach.
"You're pregnant." It wasn't a question, it was a statement. I swallowed back a 'no shit sherlock' and answered with a simple, "Yes."
His eyes found mine, and there was something there. Something I couldn't decipher. Then his eyes went blank, saying and revealing nothing.
"Follow me," he said turning around and walking away. I followed him through many cubicles with people staring after me. Some with anger, others with resentment, others with jealousy, and the rest with amazement.
My eyes found a dazzling pair of emerald eyes... they were so captivating. mesmerizing, that I'd walked straight into a wall.
"Shit," I murmured. The wall rumbled, and chuckled. Chuckled? I looked up and realized the wall had actually been Dimitri. Great.
"You really have to stop doing that," his voice held a bit of amusement. I snorted and replied with, "Yes, well, it's not my fault you look like a fuck-frigging wall, Comrade."
The name slipped. And once more I felt like slapping myself. My hand flew to cover my stupid mouth. How stupid could one person truly be? I felt him stiffen, and I could also feel a bunch of eyes on us.
Calling him by his old nickname had been stupid of me. It was just a reminder of what we'd had over the summer. Something that was no longer... It been carried away by the wind one night.
I felt his strong hand on my arm as he pulled me into what I believed was his office. Yes, it smelled like him. His aftershave was so strong and intoxicating it filled the whole room, but as he let me go, and I inhaled I smelled... mint. Sex. Arousal. A hint of cigars.
I had to close my eyes to calm myself down. He was no longer mine... Had he ever?
"You can't do that."
I looked up to see him in his chair. He looked... Irritated. I on the other hand was confused... Kinda. Not really.
"Do what?" I played the innocent card but his eyes said he knew I was playing him.
"Call me that anymore. You can't bring stuff from the past into the present... You can't let people know we had a fling."
Fling.
My hand went to my stomach, as an instinct, and I hoped he wouldn't notice it. Too much.
That's all it was to him. I bit my lip to stop my hormones from taking over my mouth. I swallowed back so many words, emotions, but most of all I bit back my tears of embarrassment, along with my secret.
"Right," was all I said to him, looking away from his brown eyes. Nothing else was said, and at that moment I realized so many things.
1. Being here wouldn't be easy.
2. Being around him would bring me so many problems. Along with memories.
3. I realized why we'd gone our separate ways.
"Understand?" his voice brought me back and I looked back at him. Not backing down I answered him.
"Perfectly Mr. Belikov."
I set fire to the rain.
