First of all I just want to thank everyone for all their reviews and opinions I loved reading every one of them! Thank you so much, they made me want to start writing right away!
So usual disclaimer applies…I don't own anything…though I wish I did…so chapter three!
When we arrived, the club was already packed with people grinding and dancing in the middle of the dark dance floor. Adrian took my hand and led me to the bar and asked me if I wanted anything to drink. "Just water," I replied. Adrian flagged down the bartender and ordered a gin and tonic for himself.
"I wanna dance!" I yelled to Adrian over the new Rihanna song that was playing through the speakers. I felt a little crazy so I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the dance floor. When we reached the middle of the floor I put my hands in the air, swayed my hips to the music and hoped I didn't look silly. Suddenly my hip bumped someone, "Sorry," I yelled though I didn't know why I was sorry, everyone was running and bumping into each other. We were in a club after all
"That's okay," a heavily accented voice replied, making me turn left, the direction in which I had first hit the person. I looked up and saw a man, and when I say man I mean man, he had to be at least 6'6 with long brown hair and tanned skin. Or at least it looked tan in the crazy colored strobe lights coming from the ceiling. He kinda looked like one of those gorgeous guys you see modeling underwear in all the fashion magazines, but somehow he looked rougher and more chiseled, hardcore. I smiled and forced myself to put all my attention back to Adrian. I leaned in and whispered to Adrian that I needed something to drink. He nodded and said he would stay on the dance floor.
I made my way to the bar to get another water. I sat in one of the stools and waited for the bartender to come back with my drink.
"You're a really good dancer." The heavily accented voice said into my ear. I jumped and turned around facing the god. Okay he looked like a god.
"Thanks, "I replied, turning back to the bar and grabbing my water. "But I've got to get back to my friend."
"Wait, I feel like I've seen you somewhere." Crap, so much for my cover. "Are you a model?" the guy tried.
"Yeah, a model," I replied, hoping he didn't notice I was lying and realize who I really was. That would be bad. Really bad.
"But I've really got to get back to my friend, he's waiting for me," I replied as I walked away and back to where I saw Adrian dancing last.
"But wait! I really wanna talk to you some more. What's your name?"
"Rosemarie!" I shouted hoping he wouldn't make the connection. I pushed my way through the crowd back to where Adrian was dancing against some girls. I tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey, sorry some guy wouldn't stop talking to me at the bar."
"That's okay," he said flashing me what I now realized was his trademark smile. "You wanna go somewhere quiet, there's a park down the street? We can walk."
"Yeah, this music's giving me a headache anyways. Let's go." We held hands and walked out of the club. "Where's the park?" I asked
"Like two blocks away."
We walked the two blocks and headed for the swings we saw on the far edge of the deserted park. I glanced at my watch only to realize that it was already midnight. Wow. I started to wonder if my parents were freaking out, since they had probably figured out that we snuck out without all the body guards. But I thought that it might be okay since my dad liked Adrian so much. I quickly forgot about the time when Adrian started talking to me.
"So tell me something no one knows…" Adrian said.
"Well. Hmmm, I have a tattoo. I got it last year with my friend Lissa, my parents don't know. I think my mom would have a heart attack." Adrian looked thoughtful, like he was wondering about my tattoo.
"Where?" he asked.
"What?"
"Where is the tattoo?" Adrian mused and waggled his eyebrows
His hand reached out to me and I slapped him away and continued swinging. "You are such a pervert, but I'm not gonna tell you. Maybe if you're lucky you might see it one day."
"I'll hold you to that," He grinned.
"I wouldn't hold your breath." I laughed. Even though I really didn't want to like Adrian it was hard not to. His easy go personality was kind of infectious. "So tell me something no one knows about you.."
"Well," he said, whispering, "I'm deathly afraid of… spiders and-" suddenly he was cut off by my blackberry ringing.
"Hello?"
"Rosemarie Mazur, do you know what time it is? Your father says not to worry, but it's really hard not to. Are you okay rose? She was shouting so loud I'm sure Adrian could hear every word she was saying.
"Mom I'm okay, I'm fine. Please stop shouting and please remember that I am an adult, I can take care of myself for once. I love you, okay? I'm hanging up now. Goodbye!" Oh mothers. I wish she would realize that I'm not a child, and trust my own judgment. If she trusts me to rule the country, she should have faith that I can take care of myself for a few hours. I shove my phone back into my purse and face Adrian.
"Sorry, she gets so paranoid sometimes. I love her but she's a real piece of work, well, all the time." I laugh.
"Maybe I should take you home it's almost one so…"
"Okay but let's stay a few more minutes, I won't be able to see you for a few days because I have meetings, and Edison Castile and Dimitri Belikov are coming into town to meet me and have dinner with my parents. I really don't want to meet anymore people.
We stayed a few more minutes and talked some more about our child hood and our favorite memories. Adrian called the cab and took me back home.
"Would you like me to walk you to your "secret "door?"
"Sure, I would love that."
We walked to the door behind the bushes, and I opened the door, ready to go in when Adrian grabbed my wrist.
"Look, I know this coming on way to fast, but I want you to know that I really like you and I'm willing to be in this for the long haul."
Whoah! His abrupt remark kind of caught me off guard. It must have shown all over my face. A look of shock I guessed. I quickly changed the look on my face to something that didn't mirror complete astonishment.
"And," he continued," I really think we could make this work between us. We could work well together and-"
I cut off his rambling by kissing him softly on his perfect lips. "Don't worry," I said. "It will all work out."
And with that I left Adrian and went inside, Lips still burning from his touch.
Adrian'sPOV
I walked away from Rose's house towards my car. I pulled out my cell phone and dialed the number.
"Hello?"
"Yes, the plan has been set in motion"
I hung up.
