Dimitri´s P.O.V.
I had not expected her to hit me. I had expected yelling, cursing and a lot of attitude, but not for her to punch me in the face. When darkness struck her in the Academy she had not tried to hit me, but then again I was not the center of her anger back then and I was she began to rain blow after blow on my body and my guardian instincts took over as I began to dodge them. Her moves were sloppy not coordinated at all, so it was not difficult at all to grap her wrists into one of my hands and pull her close to my body. " I thought I taught you better than this, Rose." I said amusingly. Rose gave me an errie smile right before her knee connected to my groin. Th male guardians gave a collected round of "ooohs!" as I keeled over in pain. I put my hand on the injury in a useless attempt to ease the pain shooting through my body. Rose smirked at me before turning around to walk away, but I was not going to let her. I was or I use to be a guardian, I trained to not let anything stop me from doing what I had to. Pushing aside the pain, I lunged at Rose and managed to wrestle her to the ground. We fought for control of her arms, but she elbowed me in the face and I winced giving her enough time to flip us so that she was on top. She tried to keep punching me but I managed to block most of them. I grabbed a fistfull of her hair that hung loose around her shoulders and used it to manuever her under me again. I finally managed to pin her hands above her head.
" I thought I told you to put your hair up, Rose." I told her smuggly, our faces only inches apart.
She glared at me. " I never thought you´d fight like a bitch, Guardian Belikov." She spat at me. That wiped the smile right off my face. She always knew how to get under my skin.
"You use whatever advantage you can in a fight. If I was still a Strigoi you would be dead." I told her all playfulness gone from my tone and expression.
The darkness was gone or at least I assumed it was, she was staring at me so seriously. "But you´re not and that´s because of me not Lissa. Me. Me, Guardian Belikov."
I stared into those brown eyes that I loved so much. "You use to call me Dimitri." I said softly.
Tears welled in her eyes and tore my heart to shreds. " And I use to be your Roza. I use to matter to you." She said just as softly.
I let go of her hands and carressed the side of her face. Her skin felt like silk under my fingers. "You still matter to me, but I am not worthy of you anymore, Roza."
Some of the guardians cleared their throats bringing us out of our daze. I had forgotten they were even here. Their faces showed that they now knew she had been more than my student and they did not look happy about it. I got up off of her and lent her hand to help her up. I didn't let go of it as I strode out of the gym and away form accusing eyes.
"Where are we going?" She asked.
"I don´t know, just away from them. I don´t think they should hear what is just between us." I told her. She tugged my hand and led me to the opposite way I was going. We didn´t say anything to each other as she led me to palace housing. When she reached her door she took out her key and let us in. I hadn´t let go of her hand and a part of me did not want to. Suddenly, she let go and pulled me down to her eye level. "You are worthy of me." She whispered against my lips then she kissed me. I groaned into the kiss and despite my better judgment I kissed her back. This was different than when I was a Strigoi, I was alive she didn´t feel to warm she felt just right. I could appreciate her beauty and I could actually make love to her. I pulled her closer as our kiss got deeper, more passionate. Her fingers ran through my hair and I felt her shudder with pleasure. She pulled away much to soon.
"Dimitri, make love to me. Please, I need you." She pleaded. I waged a battle with myself over this, but the part of me that needed her too won out. I took her hand and led her to the bedroom. At least for today, I would make her my Roza again.
