Chapter Three: Classes, Training, Alone Time

I went back to my room to waste the time before Rose's next class. I plugged in the Play station 3 and started playing Call of Duty: Black Ops. I have never really been the 'video game' type but, hell anything that would pass the time I was willing to try. After advancing to the 4th level I looked at the clock and saw it was almost time to go get Rose. Finally! I shut off the game, grabbed my coat, and headed to go get my Rose. As I was walking to the building I noticed Lissa walking alone.

"Liss!" I hollered after her.

She looked my way and then came running up to me.

"Hey Adrian, what's up?" She asked.

"How many more classes does Rose have left today?" I asked her.

I promised I would walk her to every class everyday, and I'll keep my promise but, man there's nothing to do without Rose around.

"Umm, two more, and then she trains for about two hours with Alberta." She told me running through Rose's schedule in her mind.

I groaned. Today was going to be the longest day ever. And just think, I get to do it all over again tomorrow. Joy! Not.

"Thanks, I gotta go before I'm late. See ya at dinner." I told Lissa before running off to go get Rose.

I arrived just on time to see the class getting released. I leaned up against the wall by the door waiting for Rose to wonder out of the classroom. While waiting for her I got lost in my thoughts of her. I knew she was still a virgin and wasn't ready to change that but, I couldn't help myself thinking of what it would be like with Rose. She was just so strong and beautiful. She cleared her throat and got my attention by gluing her lips to mine.

"Oh, hello Miss. Hathaway." I greeted her smiling into her kiss.

"Mr. Ivashkov." She replied.

"Shall we head off to class number two?" I asked.

"Well, I was thinking maybe we could skip that…." She said kissing me again.

"Please do not tempt me my Little Dhampir."

"Ohh, fine." She pouted.

I kissed her ear and she shuttered. I sighed. Everything she did attracted me to her, this was starting to be a real problem for me. She held my hand as we walked to her next class, though she was reluctant to go, I knew she would be upset if we actually skipped the class and she got in trouble. She doesn't like to admit it, since she always in trouble, but all of the detentions really bother her. Probably since they are extended training sessions that are a hardcore work out. We finally got to her class as the first bell rang.

"Are you sure you don't want to help me skip today?" She asked kissing me again.

"Oh. I'd love to Little Dhampir but, we're already here, and I don't want to have to spend more time without you, when you get detention for skipping class." I told her, kissing her back.

"Fine, fine. I'm going. See you in an hour?" She asked seeming unsure.

"I promised didn't I? Every class, everyday." I reassured her.

"Okay. In an hour then."

After we kissed goodbye and she went into class I decided maybe I would go talk to Kirova, the headmistress, about me leaving the wards for the next hour to go to the small little mall just about 15 minutes or so from here. It's not like she could tell me no, I'm not a student here but, Rose would be pissed at me if I didn't take a Guardian with me. I knocked on her door and waited for her to call me in.

"Come in." She said.

'Headmistress Kirova." I greeted her.

"Oh! Lord Ivashkov. How can I help you?" She asked.

"Well, I was wondering if I could borrow a guardian for an hour, to go to the little mall outside of town." I asked.

"Sure, just let me call one up for you." She said pulling out her phone.

While she was on the phone I wondered why I was even going to the mall. What made me decide to go there? That's right. I wanted to buy Rose something new. I wrote in my proposal that I would buy her something every week, and even though it hadn't been a whole week yet, it was Friday, the end of the week. And, she deserved something nice. There was a knock on the door as a bulky looking Guardian walked in.

"Lord Ivashkov, this is Guardian Bates. He will be escorting you today." Kirova introduced.

"Thank you Headmistress." I thanked her getting up to shake hands with Bates.

He didn't say anything as we walked out to the car, this car was my baby. A 2010 911 Porsche turbo. I had it custom made to remind me of Rose. It was a rose red with a black lightening strike down the left side of it. I drove as fast as the car would allow to the mall. We only had 20 minutes to find something for Rose before we would have to leave to get back in time for me to get to Rose. I got out, locked the car and turned to Bates.

"Guardian Bates?" I asked. "Are you going to say anything at all during this trip?"

"Sorry, I'm new at this. I just don't want to screw up. Your aunt would have my head." He stated.

I laughed before saying, "Relax. Its midday. Plus we're only gonna be here for a few minutes."

He relaxed a little and started rambling about nonsense. I just nodded my head politely as I looked around the jewelry store for the perfect item for Rose. I gasped when I saw it. It was a pendent necklace with a heart pendant that had a rose on the inside of it. It was beautiful and I thought it would suit my love for her perfectly. It was my hears with Rose forever in it. I paid for the necklace and we headed out to the car. We weren't five steps away from it, when Bates pinned me against the car beside me with his back and turned to fight a Strogoi. I must admit, it was pretty scary and Rose would KILL me if she found out about this incident. He staked the Strogoi quickly and threw me into my car. He drove back this time. After we were back in the safety of the wards he relaxed but, didn't waste a minute going to report the accident to Kirova. Shit. I was screwed. Rose would definitely hear about it from Alberta during their training session, so I had no choice but to tell her.

I walked back to her class thinking about how I would tell her when the bell rang to release them from class. Rose came out and immediately jumped into my arms to hug me. I hugged her back and kissed her neck, trying to out her into a state of happiness before I broke the news.

"So what did you do without me?" She asked. Shit. Time to tell her.

"Well, I went to the mall. And… we might have been attacked…" I said slowly.

Her face turned red as she started yelling, "YOU LEFT THE WARDS? WITHOUT ME? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?"

"Babe. Calm down. Please. I took a Guardian with me. You were in class. I'm okay. I'm completely unscathed. Guardian Bates did a good job." I said trying to calm her down.

"Bates? Yeah, he won't hear the end of this from me." She said still seething.

"Babe?" I said trying to get her attention. "I only left to get you this."

I handed her the necklace box hoping that maybe it would calm her down. I was right. Her whole face melted, when she saw the necklace.

"Oh, Adrian!" She said.

"It was nothing really. Do you like it? Forgive me for leaving without you?" I asked.

"I love it! I forgive you, just don't do it again. Or it won't end so nicely." She threatened.

God. She was even hot when she was threatening me. She pulled me off to her last class of the day. One more hour. Just one more hour without her. I kept telling myself. When we got to her class I went to kiss her goodbye but, she shook her head.

"What?" I asked her.

"You aren't leaving." She said simply turning to the teacher. "Hey Stan! Lord Ivashvok wants to sit in on today's class, okay?"

"Of course, L-Lord Ivashkov." Stan stuttered out.

"See? Not leaving." She said turning back to me.

I kissed her right then. Thank God I didn't have to leave her again. But, I didn't necessarily want to sit through this class. It was going to be yet again, another long hour. The second bell rang and Stan started teaching. I ignored his rambling the whole class playing with a strand of Rose's hair while she took notes in class and argued with everything Stan seemed to say. They really didn't seem to get along. The final bell rang and everyone got up to leave.

"Miss. Hathaway?" Stan called to her.

"What Stan?" She asked.

"Next time you decide to bring a visitor to class why don't you give us a warning?" He asked.

"Whatever." She said grabbing my hand and walking out the door.

"Ready for dinner?" I asked her.

"Always!"

We laughed as we walked to the dining hall. As normal the whole gang was waiting for us to get there. Christian and Lissa, Eddie, and Mia. Christian just gave us that look he normally does before he says something cocky and annoying.

"Tap any of that yet Ivashkov?" He asked.

"Shut the Hell up, Ozera." I told him.

"That's. A. Noooo." Christian said wiggling his eyebrows.

Rose slapped him upside the head right after Lissa did.

"Ow!" He screamed.

We all just laughed. This was our normal dinner routine. Rose went to go get her food, and I sat down waiting for her to get back. I told the guys about the adventure I had earlier and Eddie like Rose, disapproved of my leaving without them.

"Eddie, I'm a man, not a two year old. I can handle myself. Chill out, dude." I told him as he gave me the same speech my Rose had.

"Just look out. Rose will be pissed if something happens to you." He warned.

"Alright."

After that we went back to our normal gossipy conversation and we all ate our food. After dinner was over I walked Rose to her training session with Alberta, and just like I suspected, she made me sit in the corner of the gym, so she could keep her eye on me and make sure I didn't go anywhere. I gave her a quick kiss, walked to my corner, and watched as her and Alberta got started.

They started with some simple warm up stretches, then got to sparring. I mean I know she's being trained to be a killing machine, even though she's already faced about 100 Strogoi, but watching her fight is terrifying. She could get hurt! They sparred for about an hour, then Alberta sent her to run for the last hour. I remembered Rose saying Dimitri always made her run. "If you're ever in a situation you can't get out of, you have to run." She'd explained to me. I decided to join her running that way I could be close to her for a little bit.

"Whatcha think you're doing?" She asked me.

"Running with mi amorrr." I told her.

"Haha. Don't slow me down babe." She laughed.

After our run was over and I kept up with her the whole time she told me I was running with her everyday now. Damn, what'd I get myself into? That took all of the energy I had to do that. But, if she wanted it I would do it. After she was dismissed from training we walked back to her room for her to change. We finally had some alone time. I knew we wouldn't have sex tonight, she wasn't ready for that but, maybe we could have some fun. She changed clothes and collapsed onto her couch in her room.

"Oh, now now baby. You're not to tired are you?" I asked her teasing her.

"Too tired for what?" She asked back in the same tone.

I decided just to show her by going over to her and kissing her. As I kissed her, she kissed me back, biting my lower lip and pushing her tongue through asking for permission to enter my mouth. I granted her, her wish and we deepened the kiss. She started running her hands up my shirt and up my chest. God, her hands felt so good. I shivered. She giggled at my reaction, but kept the kisses going and deepening. I wrapped my arms around her waist and I flipped her over so, she was on top of me. She took advantage of that and unbuttoned my shirt. She started kissing down my chest.

"Babe?" I said in a raspy voice.

"Mhmmmmm?" She asked.

"Unless you plan on taking things a step further, I'm going to need you to please stop baby." I told her.

I saw the realization register on her face, and she sat up kissing my forehead and apologizing.

"It's okay babe. I just don't want to do anything you're not ready for." I told her.
