Light. That was all I saw. Blinding, white light. I shut my eyes and opened them again. My eyes adjusted this time and were able to make out certain features of the room. It smelt sterile, as if there were no germs anywhere. As I looked around the room I saw a couple of chairs, one of which was being occupied by one 6 foot 7 Russian.

Why would Dimitri be here? The only reason why we knew each other was through Adrian and even then we weren't really friends. He was anti-social at the best of times, whilst I was the life of the party. He didn't have much in the way of a sense of humour and he didn't appear to like me.

Yet here he was, sitting in my hospital room. As if he had heard my mental ramblings he woke up and looked at me. It looked as if he hadn't gotten much sleep and was stressed. His eyes seemed to become like molten chocolate as he gazed at me. He seemed so relieved that I was alright.

"Roza, how are you feeling? Does anything hurt? Do you need some water or pain killers?"

There was that word again. The word that sounded like my name but wasn't English. My mind was wondering and then I realised that he had asked me something.

"I'm feeling alright. Nothing hurts and I could do with some water."

He got up and walked over to the sink and got me a cup of water. When he brought it back and handed it to me, I chugged it down like it was the best tasting water I had ever had. After I finished, I decided to answer some questions of my own.

"What happened? Why am I here and why are you sitting in my room?"

Dimitri started to look uncomfortable and started to fidget. Finally he brought his gaze back to mine and answered my questions.

"We were abseiling when Christian fell down the cliff. You decided to be a heroine and jump down the cliff to help him. It was very stupid and reckless but you saved his life. He had been bitten by a snake and had a severe concussion. By the time we got down there he was unconscious and you were frantically yelling at us to help him. We made a stretcher and started to carry him up. When we got half way there were some boulders we needed to climb over so we decided to change stretcher bearers. That gave Adrian and me a break. I don't know what happened next but I heard a yelp and turned around to see you falling back over the boulders. I ran back to where you were and you were on the brink of unconsciousness. We called an ambulance and they arrived. They took Christian first because he was the more critical case. By the time another ambulance arrived you were fully unconscious and had started to feel cold. They brought you here and you've been unconscious for the last two days."

As I took all the information in, I realised he still hadn't answered my question as to why he was sitting here in my room. He even looked relieved that I had woken up.

"So why are you sitting there?"

Now he looked mildly uncomfortable. It appeared as if he either didn't know how to answer my question or he didn't want to. Finally he stopped fidgeting and brought his gaze to mine.

"I'm sitting here because I lo-"

Lissa chose that moment to burst through the door then. She looked all panicked and not at all her usual regal self. It looked as if she had been crying.

"Thank God you're alright Rose! I didn't know that you had hurt yourself otherwise I would have had Dimitri or Adrian or someone else to carry you out. What were you thinking, cutting your rope and jumping? Are you insane? You could have died. Why did you even have a knife on you? Though I guess I should thank you too for saving Christian. I don't know what I would have done if I lost him."

By this time she was rambling and I zoned out. When I finally tuned in I saw her staring at Dimitri, who was watching me.

"I'm sorry for worrying you Lissa but I had to get to Christian. Despite how much we argue and everything, I love him like a brother. Anyways by the time you would have got down, he may have been dead. So how are your wedding plans going? Do I still need to bring a date?"

A couple of weeks ago, Lissa had told me I needed to bring a date since I was her Maid of Honour. The only person at the time I thought of was Dimitri but then immediately forgot that idea because he probably already has a date.

I quickly shot a glance over to Dimitri only to see him lost in thought about something. Probably thinking about the lucky girl he's planning on bringing as his plus one. He must have noticed me watching him because his head shot up and he smiled at me. If I thought he was gorgeous before then I don't know how to describe him now. His smile lit up his whole face.

After that he quickly stood up and left without a word. I was saddened to see him leave and I was curious as to what he was going to say before Lissa burst in. I wonder why Lissa didn't even acknowledge he was in the room.

"Yes, Rose, you still have to bring a date to my wedding. The wedding is all set for a week. We will be having it just near the top of a cliff with a magnificent view."

"Thanks Lissa. I'll have to ask someone. Do you know why Dimitri was here?"

She looked at me hesitantly for a minute and then decided that she should answer me.

"He didn't tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

Now she looked shocked. It was as if she knew what he was going to say when she walked in. Now I was seriously curious as to know what he was going to say.

"Umm… It's not really my place to say. He said he was going to tell you as soon as you came round. He was saying it the whole way here. I thought he really was going to ask you."

"Ask me what? What was he saying?"

"Ahh… I have to go now and work out the tiny details. Get better and find a date."

With that said she scampered out of the door as fast as she could. Now I was entirely confused. What was Dimitri saying? What was he going to ask me?
