Top Ten List

Chapter 2

"So, what are they?" Lissa asked once I told her that Dimitri had a top ten list of best times with me.

We were sitting out on her balcony in her apartment. I had come after Dimitri and I had eaten breakfast and gotten ready. He had to go on duty around Court and since I was Lissa's guardian what better thing to do than hang out with her and talk. She had been extremely busy for the last couple of months. It was late September and it had been almost three months since Lissa was crowned queen. I thought she was doing great so far but after a few incidents she was working extra hard. Because of that we would take up any time we could to catch up and enjoy being best friends, sisters.

"I don't know. He didn't tell me. All he said was 'I'll tell you. But only one at a time'." I told her, imitating Dimitri's husky, sexy voice.

"Do you have any ideas of what they might be?" She asked.

"I do," I told her smiling as I thought of what could be on my love's list. "But I doubt I can figure out in what order they are in. It's kind of silly."

"I actually think that's romantic," she told me. "I really doubt Christian has a top anything for me." She said with a frown. I knew they had been having problems. As I said before, she had been very busy that I didn't think they'd had any real romantic time together. I felt a little sad for her. She loved Christian and she wanted to spend more time with him but she just couldn't find it and it hurt her and she knew it hurt him too. I was glad that Dimitri and I found time to be together but being queen was in a completely different level than being the queen's guardian.

We talked for a while more but were interrupted when my cell phone rang. I groaned when I heard the ringtone. I had a different ringtone for my most of my contacts and the ringtone that was playing was one that I did not like to hear. It was the Halloween theme song and I had assigned it to only one person.

"Yes, Hans," I answered in an exasperated voice.

"Hathaway," his annoying voice came through the phone. "I need you at the headquarters now. We are having a meeting."

"I didn't know there was a meeting arranged for today."

"Yes, but this is something that just came up. So get here now." With that he hung up.

"Well that was rude." I said to myself.

"What does he want?" Lissa asked.

"Well apparently there's and impromptu meeting that I need to attend." I told her. "Sorry I have to go. I'll see you later." I said standing giving her a hug before walking out and headed to the guardian building.

Once there, I walked into the meeting room and was surprised at how many guardians were scattered around standing or sitting. As I looked across room I was met by a beautiful pair of chocolate brown eyes. I smiled and made my way towards him.

"So, do you know what this is about," I asked Dimitri as I came to a stop in front of him where he was sitting down in a black chair.

"No, I don't," he replied. Seeing as there wasn't anywhere else to sit he started to stand. "Do you want to sit?"

I shook my head stopping him and pushed him to sit back down. Once he was sitting again I sat down on his lap. He didn't mind and wrapped his arms around my waist. Everyone knew about us so no one openly stared at us. Well at least not most of them.

As I talked to some of the guardians around us I found out that no one had a clue as to why we were called up for and that was when Hans entered. He gave a piece of paper that he was holding to one of the guardians close to the podium (Myles, I think his name was). He whispered something to him and walked back and stood by the door.

Myles got up to the podium and all the guardians quieted down and looked up at him to listen to what had to be said.

Myles cleared his throat and read it to himself and smirked. I didn't want to find out what was so funny. He began. "After a few incidents around Court, there have been new rules added to all guardians." He then began reading from the sheet of paper Hans had given him. "To whom it may concern (that means you, Hathaway and Belikov)." My head shot up as well as Dimitri's. We really hadn't been listening as we were thumb wrestling. Our eyes had been focused on our hands fighting each other. When Myles said our names I knew what was about to happen.

"After several uncomfortable incidents happening in the headquarters," he continued, "which I don't want to elaborate on – and I am completely sure everybody knows what I'm referring to – new rules are being issued in the Guardian Headquarters. Number one, only one person is allowed to be in the storage rooms at a time." Yep, I was right. I knew something like this would come up after Hans had caught me and Dimitri having a very heated make-out session in one of the storage rooms.

Myles went on. "Number two. Guardians must keep a 3-feet distance all the time." I gaped at this. I could barely keep half a foot away from Dimitri. "Number three. No personal matters should be discussed during working hours. Number four. Especially if these matters involve things happening behind closed doors." Some guardians laughed and looked over to us.

"Yeah, get some Belikov," hooted Adam, one of Dimitri's closer guardian friends. Dimitri sighed on my neck as the room burst into fits of laughter. Myles loudly cleared his throat and everyone went back to listening.

"And number five. Hooting and catcalls are also banned (and at this point it concerns every guardian)." Myles said this pointedly directing it at Adam. "These rules are valid as of today. Their violation will result in written reprehension. Signed Guardian Hans Croft." Myles finished stating that these 'new' rules were written by Hans.

"Are you serious?" I asked Hans standing and turning to face him where he was still standing by the door.

"Rose, don't, just let it go. We can deal with it," Dimitri said behind me but I didn't pay attention to him. This was totally unfair of Hans. I thought he was over the fact that Dimitri and I hooked up when I was still his student. And since everyone knew about us I didn't think he would come out and do something like this.

Hans came over to where I was standing in the middle of the room. "Yes Hathaway. I am serious."

"No." Is all I said.

"'No'? What makes you think you can do anything about it?"

I remained quiet as I looked straight into Hans' eyes. He kept looking back. I could feel everyone's eyes on us.

I was about to walk away but as that thought ran through my mind another passed it by and won. And since when did Rose Hathaway walk away. Never.

"Let's have a match." I simply said.

"What?" He asked dumbstruck.

"Let's have a match." I repeated. "If I win, these new rules shall be banned."

Hans pondered that for a minute. "And if I win?" He asked.

"If you win. . ." I stopped to think. "I'll comply with the rules. Heck, I'll even stand five feet away from everyone else."

He stood there thinking. I could tell he was weighing his chances. Everyone knew how deadly I was. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity Hans agreed.

The guardians fanned out to make more space in the middle of the room. While that happened I took off my coat and put my hair up in a bun.

Once everything was set, Hans and I took up the center and stood across from each other and started circling one another.

Hans made the first move but I easily blocked him. Then I did a roundhouse kick that pushed him but he was able to keep himself up. For a while there were hits thrown back and forth that we each blocked but just when he thought he would get the best of me I ran throwing my full weight on him and knocking him over. I could distinctly hear a few cheers. We struggled for a bit but I was finally able to pin him and, figuratively speaking, stake him.

Cheers ran through the crowd of guardians that had been watching as Hans and I stood up. I looked over to Dimitri and saw an expression on his face that could only be described as pride, and if I looked more closely I think I also saw a little bit of lust.

I turned back to Hans and saw that he was not happy but a deal was a deal.

"Alright Hathaway, I guess you always do get your way." With that he walked away.

I walked to Dimitri and hugged him. He gave me a small peck on the lips and then he leaned in to whisper in my ear.

"Number ten on my top ten best times with Rose Hathaway is the time when we practiced in the gym on All Saints Day. That's the day I knew I had feelings for you. It was also the day when I knew that one day you would be a great fighter. And what happened just then proves it." He told me.

I smiled at him. His answer was not one of my guesses, but I was content with it nonetheless.

I want to give a big thanks to Orlissa92 for letting me use her Restrictions drabble (the rules Myles read out loud that were made by Hans) form A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That.
