RPOV:
I skipped all the way to my apartment. Okay, so I didn't skip, but I quickly walked. Close enough. I couldn't wait to see Dimitri, my boyfriend and soul-mate.
"Comrade!" I sang as I stepped into the house. "I'm ho-ome!"
"Hello, Roza," Dimitri met me at the door, holding a plate of brownies in one hand and a hot chocolate in the other. Both were steaming hot.
"Oh, I love you, you know that?" I declared, stretching up on my tip-toes to kiss him on the lips. "You sure know how to welcome a girl home."
Dimitri smiled at me with that smile reserved for when we were alone and he could let his guard down. "I missed you, Roza."
He led me to the living room and set the food onto the coffee table as I plopped down on the couch. "Three weeks is way too long," I agreed.
Dimitri settled down next to me, pulling me into his lap. "How long do we have?"
"Two weeks," I replied, cuddling close to him. "Then I leave for two more weeks."
Dimitri sighed. "I wish that I could go to these missions with you. I hate not knowing if you'll come back or not," he murmured, rubbing circles into my hip.
I leaned forward and grabbed a brownie and the hot chocolate. "I'll always come back to you," I promised him.
"I wish you could tell me what happens on these missions," he fretted.
I held up my arm where a small black dot, much like the one Lissa had on her arm during the monarchy tests, rested. "I wish I could tell you," I said apologetically.
Dimitri took a bite out of my brownie. I frowned at him, but didn't have it in me to even pretend to be mad. I missed my Comrade too much; besides, he was the one to make them.
We cuddled on the couch for a few more minutes as I finished my hot chocolate. Once it was gone, I set the cup back on the table and stretched. My shirt rode up a little bit, revealing a strip of bare skin. I could see Dimitri's eyes lingering on the exposed skin and hid my smile. These missions sure made our sex life much more interesting.
"Oh, I think I'm going to go take a nap," I said casually, sauntering out of the room. I glanced back at Dimitri, still on the couch, once I reached the doorway. "You're welcome to join me," I added with a wink.
Dimitri was up in a second, taking another second to reach me.
I giggled all the way down to our room.
Thank you for your reviews, follows, and favorites! I have several chapters pre-written so hopefully I'll be able to update on a daily basis. However, with school I might not be able to manage it. But I will do my best! This isn't going to be a very long story(:
