I got more reviews than i thought i would, so thank you! *beams happily*

Here have an update as your reward =)

In case you didn't notice, the last chapter was set a year after the first. This one is set two years after. The next chapter will be set after another year. And it'll stay that way. Phew, that's confusing! Anyway, this is kinda a filler chapter but anyway. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Check Chapter one or two.

Two years later (Rose is in her final year of school).

"How do I look?"

"Fine," I replied Lissa, without glancing up from my magazine. Thankfully she didn't notice my interest. Even though me Christian were on good terms now, it didn't mean that I cared what his girlfriend looked like on their dates. As long as Lissa didn't have any toilet paper attached to her shoes, I was fine with whatever she wore.

"Are you sure this dress doesn't make my bum look big?" she asked, her voice breaking me out of my thoughts. I rolled my eyes, but still didn't look up at her.

"I'm sure, Liss. Besides, you shouldn't blame the dress."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing, Liss. I'm just saying, you look fine. Christian's pants will rip from looking at you," I told her, finally looking up. She actually did look good. She wore a floor length silk pink halter neck dress that was covered in pink sequins, except for under the bust line. Under the bust line was a band of silver sequins instead of pink (pic on profile). The dress resembled a ball gown more than anything. In my opinion, she was way too overdressed just to go out on a date with someone who she'd been dating for a bit more than three years now. The dress wasn't nearly anything that I'd wear out on any of my dates, but I decided not to tell her that. It would only ruin her evening.

She had her platinum blonde straightened and left down, so it looked smooth and silky. Her lightly done make up make her skin glow, making it look natural. She really looked good.

"Are you absolutely sure I look okay?"

"Like a Princess," I told her truthfully. She smiled slightly and skipped over to me, kissing my cheek.

"Thanks, Rose. You really need to get a boyfriend so we can start going out on double dates. I feel bad leaving you behind all the time. Are you sure it's alright if I go?"

"Go."

Giving me one last grin, she skipped out the door – a miraculous feat in her three inch heels, and left me alone in her room. Slipping out of her room I made my way back to my own, grabbed my keys and climbed out of my window.

The descend was three stories down but unlike Lissa I wasn't wearing a dress or heels or anything like that. I was wearing black skinny jeans, a black T-shirt with a purple Pacman on it (Don't ask why) and my black coat. It was stupid that I actually had to sneak out when it was the weekend and I was allowed out. Lucky for Lissa, she didn't have any parents to protest against her relationship. With me, I had really careful about my dates. If anyone caught me leaving campus, they'd send a Guardian with me and that Guardian would then report to my parents what they'd seen. No, I couldn't let that happen. We couldn't let that happen.

Landing on my feet, I headed over to one of the abandoned cabins on the edge of campus. One of them was more important to me than the rest. It was the cabin where I'd lost my virginity. . . willingly, this time. It had probably been one of the best moments in my life so far.

I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts and kept walking. I'd almost made it around the back when a familiar arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me tightly to the person's side.

Dimitri.

I wrapped my arm as best as I could around him and gave him as demented-squeeze-hug-thing. He squeeze-hugged me back.

"I've missed you, Roza," he whispered. "And you're late."

"I know, I'm sorry. Lissa's going out on a date tonight and she wanted my opinion on her outfit. She tried on like, fourteen dresses! If I'd known I would have told you to meet me later only she told me kinda late and I couldn't really just flip out my phone and text her in front of you. Oh, and I've missed you too," my words came out in a tumble as my excitement of seeing him again spiked.

He chuckled and began leading me towards his car. "Sounds like you had a good night-"

I groaned.

"-so far. Playing dress-ups with your unsuspecting best friend."

I smacked his shoulder. "Shut up. Anyway, what are you doing off-Guard? I mean, I'm happy to get to see you but how come you're off duty?"

"My charge is hosting a party of sorts for the Elite Moroi. He's ringed the lace with countless wards and hired the oldest and the best Guardians," he shrugged. "I wasn't invited. Has something to do with trust issues."

"Still?" I asked surprised. "I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it, Roza. Besides, it means I get to spend time with you. Honestly, our of arrogant, stuck up Moroi Princes/Princesses and my non-stuck up, non-arrogant, beautiful Moroi girlfriend, I'd pick you over them any day."

"You're laying it on a little thick aren't you?"

"Not at all," he told me, his dark eyes sparkling. He leaned in towards me, tilting is head slightly so that out lips met. I wrapped my arms around his neck and his other hand snaked around my waist as well, pulling me closer. Our kiss was sweet and lingering. It was moments like this that I was truly grateful that he was mine and that I'd bothered to get to know him. Unlike most of my past relationships, this one wasn't just about the physical stuff and lust. Dimitri actually loved me, and I was really beginning to fall badly for him too.

He pulled back from our kiss after a couple of moments but still held me close with his forehead leaning against mine. "You know I love you?"

I grinned. "Yeah," I breathed out. "And I think I love you too."

Dimitri pulled me impossibly closer to him and kissed me again briefly.

"Dimitri? Where are we going?" I asked when he'd pulled back again.

He shrugged, a small smile playing on your lips. "Wherever you want."

"I always choose. You pick this time."

His smile grew as we got in the car. He didn't say anything, instead opting to play more of his crap music. When the theme song to 'The good, the bad and the ugly' began to play I smashed my fist at the off button on his tape player, effectively end its reign of horror. That was pushing it too far. Dimitri glanced at me quickly and frowned, shaking his head. I shook mine too. This man's horrible taste in music was going to be the death of me.

The rest of the ride went by in silence. That's the way it was for me and Dimitri. We didn't need to talk, we were perfectly content in our silence. it just wasn't awkward.

After around twenty minutes of driving he pulled over at a small Mexican diner. We were greeted by a small pretty redhead who introduced herself as Emma (Yeah, i added you in =]).The diner wasn't anything fancy – and I didn't want it to be, but it wasn't dingy either. I'd ended up eating almost five tacos while Dimitri watched and laughed, amused as I stuffed myself.

At some point during our evening I realised that this is how I always wanted life to be. Simple and fun with someone who truly cared about me. I guess everyone wants what they can't have.

That's all folks! Again, thanks for the awesome reviews =D Umm, i guess i said everything i needed to in my A/N on the top. I have a pretty good idea of where this is going so i should be updating again soon.

Buh-bye for now!
