Chapter Two
"Truth or dare?"
"I don't like the way you're looking at me, so I'll go with truth" damn it! Why did I have to look so evil?
"Okay, why did you run away from the wedding? Did you realise Tasha is a mega-bitch?"
"I thought I loved her, but I don't. Never have, never will. When I told her that I didn't love her before the wedding, she threatened me. I told your father, and he helped me escape at the altar…" I have new respect for this man.
"You really are a god" I mumbled under my breath.
"Huh?" he looked at me with confusion; did I just say that out loud?
"Um, I said it's your turn to ask" I averted my eyes from his; I somehow knew he could tell if I was lying or not.
"Truth or dare?" his voice was challenging, it made me like him even more.
"Dare; give me your best shot"
"I dare you to…kiss the hottest person on this train" huh, I've had worse. But then, I realised something.
"I've seen everyone on this train…and sorry to say this, but you're the hottest person on this train" it was true; he was the hottest guy known to Earth!
"Okay then, pucker up!" he smirked. Did he just say that? Or was I imagining things?
"I don't have to kiss you, if you don't want to. You've just run away from your wedding…" before I could come up with a good excuse not to kiss him (I so did want to kiss him, but how awkward would that be for the rest of the trip?) his lips crushed mine. If I felt electricity before, now I felt fireworks. It made me feel warm inside, I guess that was why I was kissing him back… But, all too soon, he pulled away for breath. Our breathing was hard and fast, and it didn't help that we were staring straight at each other. My body felt cold without him near; it made me sad. And then, it hit me; this man was going to get married today, to my nemesis.
"I'm sorry" he apologised. Why was he apologising?
"Why are you sorry? If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have kissed you…"
"I've never lost control like that…and I'm sorry" for the next three hours, we just joked around and played more truth or dare. We had to tell each other what our first kisses were, about our family and stuff like that. Apparently he has three sister, a mother and a grandmother. He beat up his father when he was thirteen because he was beating up his mother; I went crazy when I found out. He does remind me of a god. We were talking about the music festival when my phone rang. I didn't look up at the caller i.d.
"Hello?" I was still slightly laughing about a story he had told me.
"Rose! What the hell? What happened?" I should have known it was Lissa, I mean, how could it not be her?
"Calm down; you wouldn't believe me if I told you…" my eyes immediately found Dimitri's, it made me feel all fuzzy inside.
"Try me"
"Tasha got left at the altar, yeah?"
"Yeah…" I could tell she was getting impatient.
"Guess which run away groom I am sitting opposite from" I heard her shriek with joy; she didn't like her very much either.
"No way! I cannot believe that!" I knew deep down that she believed what I was saying.
"I might take him to the festival, you know, he deserves it…"
"You can't fool me; you want to get it on with him, don't you?" I started laughing really hard then. I cannot believe she's not mad at me!
"No! He deserves it, after what's happened"
"Aha, sure. Well I have to go, but I'll talk to you after the festival. Love you" I barely got out a 'love you too' before she hung up on me. I was still chuckling when I put my phone away.
"What's wrong?" Dimitri's soft velvety voice wrapped around me.
"Just my friend. Now, I've got a question for you" he froze for a second.
"It's not another game of truth or dare, is it?" I don't know why, but that made me laugh even more.
"No, I was wondering if you wanted to go to a music festival with me?" I asked once I recovered enough to get out a sentence.
"I'll take you up on that offer" Just as he said that, the train driver person started talking on the speakers.
"We will be arriving in California at 2:30 p.m. we hope you had a luxurious stay with us" I looked down at my Dior watch hat Lissa bought me, and realised we had half an hour left.
"Time flies when you're having fun" I told Dimitri. He just smiled and nodded. I could hear a vibrating sound coming from Dimitri. He fished out his phone from his pocket, and froze.
"It's Tasha" I could barely hear him. His voice was on angst, not fear.
"Answer it; the sooner you explain it to her, the sooner she leaves you alone"
"That's not how she works; if I answer it, she will find me" I hated seeing him like this, so I did the only logical thing; I threw his phone out of the train window. Well, I hoped it was logical.
"I'll pay for a new phone" I told him. He just looked at me, and smiled.
"Thank you" I didn't know why he was thanking me, but I just couldn't be bothered asking.
"Anytime" I stood up to retrieve my duffel bag off the floor, when the train breaks shook the cabin. I was seconds away from knocking myself out when a pair of strong hands grabbed my waist. Dimitri pulled me to him like I was his lifeline. My face was stuffed in his chest. His cologne filled my nose; and god was it a scent. Slowly he lifted my chin up, so I could look in his eyes.
"Are you okay?" he asked softly; like I was going to break at any second.
"Yeah, thanks" I was just about to get off his lap, when he pulled me back down. What he did next, shocked me; he kissed me.
And boy was it a kiss…
