Chapter 2

"Rose where the hell are you?"

I opened my eyes reluctantly and Dimitri stood up and stepped beside me. I watched Adrian's face light up when he saw me, but when he saw Dimitri his smile faded. I tried to give him a reassuring grin. He immediately opened the cell door he didn't even pause to ask if it was all right to go in. The guard didn't stop him seeing that he was an Ivashkov after all.

He grabbed my arms and lifted me up into his arms. I laid my head on his chest, forgetting that Dimitri was there. It felt right to be there in his arms. I could feel Dimitri's gaze on us. There was no possible way that I could turn around and face him with something like this. I loved him then and I love him now, the only problem was I still loved Adrian.

"Oh my god Rose do you have any idea how worried I was?"

I finally brought myself to turn around. Adrian kept his arm around my shoulders, trying to send a message that I was his now. I hated to see the pain in Dimitri's eyes; it burned deep into my heart.

"I guess I should go" Dimitri said

"No please don't go yet" I pleaded. I looked up at Adrian. "Adrian could you give us a second…please?"

He put his arms around my waist and fiercely kissed me, then held me in one last embrace and left down the hall.

"You too make a good couple, I'm happy for you."

"Dimitri I...you were gone, I had to accept that, if I ever thought that there was a way to…" I couldn't get myself to look up at him. Instead I just looked at the concrete floor. He had his hands behind his back like always.

"I understand there's no need to explain."

I looked at him surprised. "Can I just ask you one thing?" he nodded. "When you saw Adrian and me, what were you thinking?"

He shook his head and let out a small laugh looking down. "Same old Rose, so curious and not afraid to ask. Oh how I've missed that. I'm not proud of this but I was feeling a lot of hatred towards Adrian."

I couldn't help but smile. "Wow comrade never thought I'd hear that one."

We kept getting closer and closer and before I knew it we were 6 inches away from each other. I could feel his body heat, all the blood rushed to my cheeks when he saw it he giggled. His finger tips gently caressed my cheek. When I felt that his hand was sliding off my cheek I stopped it with my hand and closed my eyes. His hands were so gentle and soft.

"Please don't leave not yet, I'm scared here by myself please don't leave."

"Roza…"

That one touch turned into a tender embrace. I felt like our bodies were made to fit together. All I wanted was to stay like this forever. But I couldn't help but think of Adrian.

Our foreheads touched and our lips brushed against each other. I couldn't help but smile brilliantly.

"Your visiting hours are up; it's time for you to go."

"Ok thank you."He began to walk passed me to his guard. I grabbed his forearm.

"Wait is there any news about the trial?"

"I'm probably not the person to ask but there's someone in the middle of the hall that can answer that for you. It was nice seeing you."

Adrian stepped out of the dark stone hallway, with his hands in his pocket and a funny expression on his face. Dimitri started down the hallway passing Adrian. Dimitri looked up at Adrian.

"It was nice seeing you again too Mr. Ivashkov." Dimitri said.

Adrian didn't even bother to look at him. "Ya you too."

He continued down the hall with his guard behind him.
