Chapter 2
Hey y'all :)
I've decided to continue on this story, 'cos I really want to try this writing out.
This chapter isn't so exciting I think. But I'm gonna start slow for you all! I'm just not that kind of person who's jumping right in the action.
Well, I hope you can enjoy this chapter and I promise that the next one is gonna be better!
The songs I've used in this chapter is:
Ron Pope - Sweet Redemption
Rihanna - Diamonds
Rihanna - We Found Love
Rose POV
Beep, beep, beep ...
I groaned, another day to go through. I'm sitting up in my bed and scratching my head and all my miserable thoughts starts all over again. I'm always contemplating if all my intentions to keep staying here at court are right. I'm shutting my eyes again and massaging my temples and decide to keep on trying anyway even though my sweet redemption is out of sight. I'm swearing to myself that I don't mind, I'm swearing all those lies again. Thinking that everything that I'm holding on to is breaking in my hands.
Watching my alarm clock I realise that I'm late, again. Lissa is so gonna kill me... or maybe kick my butt... It doesn't matter which, I just know she's gonna be pissed at me for being late again! I stand up too quick and almost fall over my own clumsy tired feet and hurry with showering, dressing and I decide not to do any makeup today. Because who's gonna care anyway? Only Lissa ever cares about my appearance.
My phone starts to ring with Rihannas song Diamonds and I curse under my breath that I didn't get out from my room before she called.
"Where the hell are you?!" Lissa screamed in my ear.
"I'm on my way. Please don't break my eardrums, because if you do I'll never hear my phone again or your amazingly high-pitched voice in the morning" I responded dryly.
"Well get your butt over here mizzy, you're late again! Didn't I tell you yesterday how important it is that you're following the schedule...?!" Lissa said in a more normal tone.
"Yeah, yeah! I'm hanging up now so I can run, okay?" I said to her.
"Great! Oh my God Rose, I'm so exited!" Lissa squealed in the phone before hanging up.
Picking up my bag and locking my door to my room, I start to run as fast as I can to Lissas apartment in Royal Housing. All in all I got there in about two minutes and when I knocked on her door I tried to catch my breath. I don't know exactly what it is she's planning for the day but I hope it isn't something too boring or something with royal people. I'm really not in the mood for something fancy and royalty today. And as I saw who's opening Lissas door, I thought that maybe it's gonna be a nice day after all.
"Hey little dhampir, what's up?" Adrian said when he opened the door.
"Late, as always and you know it!" I said a little annoyed.
"Why, I didn't know that you're always late" He snickered at me.
"Adrian, shut up! I'm so not in the mood for your boring jokes today!" I huffed at him.
But as always, he just smirked and walked back inside.
"He's so annoying..." I said under my breath.
"I heard that!" Adrian said while looking over his shoulder.
"Yeah, yeah. I bet you did..." I said while smiling back at him.
"So where's Lissa? And what are we exactly doing today?" I asked in a little bit too annoyed voice.
"We are going to the mall, because we're in serious need for some shopping!" Lissa squealed really loudly when she entered her livingroom.
"We are? Great... just great..." I said back to her.
"What's wrong Rosie? You're not up for a little shopping time with all of us?" Christians voice came floating to me while he walked through the door.
"And who's exactly all of us?" I asked warily.
"You, me, Adrian, Christian, Mia, Eddie, Jill and... and..." Lissa said, and begun to stutter at the end.
"And who?" I asked while my brows raised in alarm.
While I was waiting for her answer, HE walked inside and answered my question all by himself and his presence. I just blinked and stared at him before I diverted my eyes to Lissa instead. And she just watched me with pleading eyes, saying and begging me to behave. I sighed and went to sit on the couch while waiting for the others. And as I sat there, my thoughts wandered back to my thoughts I had when I woke up. If I really am just deluding myself that I can stay here and if it's really the right thing to do. While being occupied by my inner rant, all the others arrived and I got up to walk with everyone to the garage.
By being Lissas guardian, there where quite some good things that made my days. For example I'm the one driving and Lissa lets me choose the car. And being me I always choose fast cars. This time I choose to drive the Hummer, not only is it fast, it fits all of us too. It's black and shimmery and just soooo me! I love it!
When everyone was inside the car I turned around to ask which mall we're going to and didn't see who sat shotgun in the passenger seat. So when I turned around again I was totally strucked with shock to se Dimitri sitting just beside me. I was so stunned that I just sat there for I don't know how long...
"Hey, Rose?! What the heck are you doing? We're all in and dying a slow death here if you'll not start to drive now!" Mia screamed at me.
I snapped out of my own empty mind and just started the car. I didn't have any answers to that question because I was asking myself the same. What the hell am I doing? Just act normal, like nothing ever happened between you two you idiot, I scowled at myself.
"Do you wanna hear some music guys?" I asked just to be occupied by something else than just the feeling of HIM sitting beside me.
"Yes, YES! Shoot and play some Rihanna" Mia shouted at me.
"Alright, but which one?" I shouted back.
"Oh, oh, I know!" Lissa squealed.
"Play We Found Love" she then said.
I just groaned internally and did as she said.
And when the song begun Lissa, Mia and Jill started to sing along;
Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side
As your shadow crosses mine
What it takes to come alive
And even though I was a little annoyed over the song I couldn't help but sing along too;
It's the way I'm feeling I just can't deny
But I've gotta let it go
And then all of us sang;
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
We found love in a hopeless place
While the others kept on singing, I drifted away in my own thoughts. And we soon got to our destination.
When we got inside the mall Lissa started to drag us to all stores. And after a couple of hours I whined that I was hungry...
"Liss, please I love you but I really, really need some food." I said to her while she was paying for a dress.
"Okay, ask the other ones if they're hungry too." She said back to me.
"Hey guys, are you starving like I do? 'Cause I can barely stand while I'm out of food in my body." I said to the rest of our group.
"Wow Rose, you sure as hell can put the right words in your mouth" Christian said back at me, quite sarcastically.
"Shut it, Sparky! Or I'm just gonna have to fire you up and eat you..." I said back threateningly.
"Oooh, cranky much little dhampir?" Adrian snickered at me.
"Yeah Rose, what's up with the cranky attitude?" Eddie asked me, smiling brightly.
I just huffed and scowled at them. And in the peripheral of my eyes I could see Dimitri raising one of his eyebrows at me. But I just ignored it and asked Liss where we should eat.
"I've actually reserved a table for us at this amazing restaurant" She told me.
"Oh, well let's go!" I almost shouted, 'cos I'm really that hungry.
Several hours later we arrived back at court and I sighed in relief that we finally were done with the shopping. But I guess I did it too soon.
"Rose, can I talk to you for a moment" Dimitri said in a low voice.
I stared at him for a moment before I answered.
"What do you have to say to me, Dimitri?"
"I really want to talk to you in private." He said back.
I turned to the others and said that we'll catch up with them later. And before I turned back to face Dimitri I saw the concern and worry in Lissas eyes. But I just ignored it and shook my discomfort of my shoulders.
See! A cliff hanger... It's a lovehate feeling don't you think?
Next chapter is gonna be about the talk in private between Rose and Dimitri. So stay tuned 'coz it's gonna be goosebumps thrilling!
