Chapter Two:
Moving on to Rose & Dimitris home. Rose was a simple girl. She just wanted a quiet, small, peaceful place to live. She and Dimitri picked out a small cottage. It was wooden and had a beautiful veranda. Right in the back of it had a crystal clear lake. Inside of the cottage had a peaceful vibe to it. It had two bedrooms, one kitchen, one bathroom and one living room/dining room. Rose did most of the decorating.
Dimitri and Rose were in love, but Rose couldn't help but feel like she didn't know Dimitri at all. So one day while Dimitri was at work Rose decided to cook dinner for the first time so she and Dimitri could just talk about their lives. Dimitri now had a job as one of the royal guards at her father's kingdom. Rose went into the kitchen and looked around. They had everything she needed to cook but then she realized that...she didn't really know how to cook. She was just so used to her fathers servants always doing everything to her. Rose got some ingredients out of the cupboard and set them on the counter. She randomly started to mix things into the pots. Rose then thought to herself,"Wow this is easier than I thought'' When Rose finished she took a quick taste. As soon as she did, she regretted it. It was the most awful thing she has ever tasted. She let out a frustrated groan and set her hand down on the stove by accident. She pulled her hand away quickly. Her hand felt like it was on fire. She was so caught up with the pain that she didn't even hear Dimitri come in. Rose had started to cry and Dimitri rushed over to her. He quickly took her hand and said," What happened?''
Rose didn't know what to say. She was so embarrassed. She just looked down continuing to cry. She felt as if she wasn't good enough for him, He deserved someone who could actually cook and be a real wife! She looked up at him, with tears running down her face. " I – I was trying to c-cook, but it came out awful! Then I burnt my hand on the stove! I'm so sorry!" She ran into their bedroom and laid on the bed, sobbing into her pillow. Dimitri then came in and sat next to her on the bed and started to stroke her hair.
" Let me see your hand." He said softly. She obeyed, by now her hand had little blisters on it. Dimitri quickly started to clean it off and wrapped it up. She watched as he did this. When he was done he held on her hand and gently wiped away her tears. "Please don't cry."
Rose looked at him and whispered," I'm so sorry." Then looked back down.
Dimitri gently tilted her head up and looked into her eyes. "Don't be sorry my love. What you did was very kind and sweet of you. Please don't be upset about it." He then gently kissed Roses head and held her. "I love you".
Rose looked up at him, with a small smile playing on her lips."I love you too".
Dimitri got up, still holding Rose in his arms. "Now let me do the honor of cooking us dinner tonight. You go get ready love." He said with a smile. Rose nodded and quickly kissed him then went into the bathroom.
30 Minutes Later:
Rose came out of the bathroom to find the place smelling absolutely great. She walked into the dining room and saw that Dimitri had set up the table and was waiting there patiently. When she came into view he smiled at her. Rose couldn't help but notice the rose petals on the table. She smiled and sat down. Dimitri brought out dinner and set it on the table. He sat on the opposite side of her. Rose inhaled deeply, "This smells absolutely great."
Dimitri smiled at her. "Well you'll just love it even more when you taste it." Rose took a bite and let the flavors flood through her mouth. She laughed inside at the thought of how much better it tasted than hers. Rose and Dimitri ate dinner talking about their days. Finally Rose brought up the subject about her not knowing about him.
Rose looked at Dimitri. He was looking at her, eyes filled with love. "Dimitri?"
"Yes, love?"
"Today I realized that I know absolutely nothing about you."
Dimitri smiled. "Well what would you like to know about me?"
Rose thought about this for a while, then answered. "Where were you born?"
Dimitri laughed," A small town in Russia named Siberia. I don't think you know where it is though."
Rose laughed too. It was amazing at how much he knew her. "Your right. Do you have any siblings?"
"Yes, I have 2 sisters."(I forgot how many sisters Dimitri had in VA sorry. =[)
Rose smiled, "The only boy, huh?" She giggled and he looked at her in awe.
Dimitri smiled and nodded. "Anything else my love?"
Rose had one more question bubbling on the tip of her tongue. "Well, do you want kids' someday?" She blushed slightly.
Dimitri answered in a heartbeat." Of course! I love kids but not right now. Maybe later on."
Rose smiles at his answer. "Don't worry, those are all the questions for one night." Dimitri and Rose cleaned up and went to bed. Rose waited in bed for Dimitri to join her. When he finally came buried herself in his arms.
"Good night, my love" said Dimitri softly.
"Goodnight." Rose said, half asleep.
