Thanks to Dimitri's Temptress for being my first reviewer!! I really appreciate it. So now on with the story!!!
RPOV I continued staring at him for a while, until he started stirring. He looked up at me and smiled. "What's up Rose? Enjoying the view?" He said with a chuckle.
"Oh, shut up Christian." I said, angry that he caught me staring at him. I sighed, "Where are we going, Pyro?" I asked. "I can't tell you that Rose, it's a secret! And don't ask when we are getting there, because I won't tell you that either." He said smugly. I hated that he knew where we were going and wouldn't tell me, and he knew it. He knew that I hated not being in control. Damn Flame-boy.
When we finally landed, I nearly ran out of the plane to see where we were. It was night time, so I couldn't see much, but it was warm. "Will you tell me where we are now?" I asked him. "We are in L.A. Rose. This is where Tasha and I have been living since she became my parental figure. I love the sun, even if I can't go in it for long periods of time. We have a pretty big house tight near the ocean." He said, and he looked really excited.
"Wow, Sparky. I never thought you would live some place as cool as L.A. I was thinking maybe Maine, or something. But not L.A.!! This is going to be so cool!!" I almost yelled. People in the airport were looking at us funny, but I really didn't care. "Wow, you must be really excited. It´s just LA Rose. Not that big of a deal. Hey There's Tasha"
"Well it's a big deal to me because I thought we would be living in some grimy neighborhood in a horrible city, and then find out we are going to be living here!" I said.
"Well, I'm glad you're feeling better, Rose. You really did scare me earlier. And we will be talking about this later, and you will tell me everything. Got it?" I just nodded my head. Tasha decided to choose then to run over and hug Christian. "How are you? I haven't seen you in forever"
"Aunt Tasha, it has only been a few months! And I kinda need to breath here!" He gasped.
"Oh, sorry. Rose! I didn't know you were going to be his guardian! Yay! Welcome to the family. Now we need to get your luggage and find where the car is parked so we can get home. You two look very tired"
When we got to their house, I was amazed. There are many words I would think of when you say Christian, but rich sure wasn't one of them. This house is huge! It is white and has a lot of windows, and there is a path leading behind the house that looks like it goes down to the beach. The inside was even better. Everything was made of a dark wood or marble, and it felt very cozy. It reminded me of a really huge cottage. "Well, what do you think Rose? Think you can survive in this place?" He sid, trying to be funny.
"Well, I think this is the biggest house I have ever stepped foot in. This place is amazing!!!" You could actually hear your voice echo in the open space.
"I thought you would like it. Want to take a tour?" I just nodded excitedly. "Okay then, come on." He said, grabbing my hand and pulling me with him. "This is the living room, well, the big one. There is also a game room, gym, and indoor pool down there," He said, pointing to the left. "And down there is the main kitchen, two spare bedrooms, and the dining room." He was still pulling me along, with my hand in his, and I don't think he noticed. I did, but it felt nice and comforting after the strange few days I've had. He took me up the stairs and was pulling me down the hall. "There are the other bedrooms, Tasha's is down there, but mine is upstairs. I have a whole floor to myself. It's almost like my own suite! It's pretty awesome. And down here is the other living room, this is where we usually hang out, because it's less formal. Out hose doors there is the balcony and that has stairs that lead to the beach. These here are the stairs that go up to my room" He said.
We went up the stairs, and it was pretty far. When we got up there I was amazed. It was a living room, but it had doors off of it that probably led to his bedroom and bathroom. The main room was a dark blue, with dark hardwood flooring. There was a TV stand with a huge flat screen, and a few gaming systems. There was a great sound system, with built in surround sound all around the room. "This is the living room, it's fun to just hang out and be lazy all day. There is a mini kitchen over there, fully stocked, which I am sure you'll appreciate. And this is my room here." He said. It was a great room. It was red, like fire of course, and had all black furniture. It was simple, yet nice. There was a bathroom off to the side, and a fairly big closet too. "Wow, this is nice sparky. Who knew you of all people lived in such a nice place!" I joked. "That's not very nice Rose," he said with a smirk. "You haven't even seen the best part"
"Wait, you mean there's more?!" I said. How could there be any more than this?
"Yup. Follow me." So I did. "This is where you will be living." Huh, I thought for sure I was going to be as far from him as possible. Like in some kind of hidden basement. But this was a really nice room. It was a tan colour, and all the furniture was white. The bed sheets and curtains were all tan and blue. It was really elegant, and I loved it.
"Christian! This is awesome. I love it. Thank you so much!!!" I squealed, while jumping up on him and hugging him. I made him fall over, and I went down with him. We were on the floor laughing our heads off when Tasha came in.
"What are you two doing? Do I even want to know?" She asked, which just made us laugh even harder. "Teenagers...I will never get you guys." She said as she walked away. "Well that was interesting." I said, trying to stand up. But I had cramps from laughing so hard, so I gave up and just sat on the floor.
"I haven't laughed that long in a while! It was fun." I don't think he could get up either. So we just sat there for a while talking. "Maybe we should go see where our luggage ended up." I said after a while. "Good plan. Then we can get something to eat. I'm starved, and I bet you are too"
"Of course! Aren't I always?" I gave him my best man-eater smile and he just laughed. I don't think we have ever had this much fun together. We are finally getting along, and nobody is here to witness it. No one will believe us if we told them. After we got our suitcases upstairs, we changed into comfier clothes and watched a movie and ate junk food. We were watching Zach and Miri make a Porno. It was hilarious. We were laughing the whole time, and ended up having quite a few popcorn fights. I think I fell asleep during the movie, because for the second time in a row, I woke up with Christian. I was laying on his chest on the couch, and we had food everywhere. "I was wondering when you would be up." Someone said. I looked behind at the door to the stairs and there was Tasha leaning against the door frame. "What did you two do last night?" She asked, probably hoping it wasn't something horrible. "Um, we just watched movies and ate a lot of junk food, and then fell asleep." I said.
"Hmm...well you guys make a pretty cute couple you know. He hasn't been the same since him and Lissa broke up." She said, like it was the most casual thing in the world.
"Well, thanks, I guess, but we are just friends. Nothing more"
"Well, I still think you guys would be a great couple. Don't let something like your job get in the way of anything. Okay?" She asked. What was she thinking? Me and Christian? We are too alike, it would never work. not that I would want it to. I doubt he even likes me like that. I know I don't like him like that. No matter how funny he can be, or how is eyes are such a nice shade of blue, and seem like they are staring into your soul. It doesn't matter how wonderful, and protective, and..wait! What am I thinking? This is Christian! We get on each others nerves constantly, and aren't really friends at all! "Uh yea. okay Tasha." I said, giving her a small smile. She nodded and went back downstairs. I sighed and layed back down. Even if I don't like him, he is really comfortable to lay on. "That was an interesting conversation, you had there." He said. It made me jump and I almost screamed. "Hahaha, you should see your face right now! It's priceless." I smacked him.
"God, you're such a jerk. Did you know that?" I said, getting up.
"Oh, don't be like that. I can't believe she would say something like that. She knows we are only friends. Weird." He said. "Yea, very weird." I said.
"Hey, where do you think you're going." He said when I was walking away. "Get back here, you were keeping me warm." Then he reached over and pulled me down onto the couch with him. I tried to get away, but he is stronger than he looks. He didn't have a lot of trouble holding me down. He was laying on top of me, holding me down with his body.
"You know, you're a fire user. You can keep yourself warm, no problem. Now let me go, or I will get you back for this"
"Oh really, well I'm not letting you go, and there is no way you can make me." He said. He was a real cocky son-of-a-bitch.
"Well we will see about that." I said. There was one possible way to get him to let go, but I didn't really want to do it. I guess it would be showing who's boss though. So I did it. I kissed him. And not just any kiss, the kind of kiss that kids shouldn't be allowed to see. It wasn't too bad, either. Actually it was really nice. What are you talking about? This is CHRISTIAN OZERA!!! I suddenly rolled over and pinned him down. I broke the kiss and leaned over to whisper in his ear. "I win." And with that, I got up and ran to my room. I really needed a cold shower after that. I wonder what he thought of that. He was probably just as shocked as me, if not more. Maybe Tasha was right. But I don't think he likes me like that. He is probably in his bathroom right now rinsing his mouth out with mouthwash. I hope I didn't screw up our friendship there. I really hope I didn't.
CPOV That was a great sleep. I had Rose, the Rose Hathaway, sleeping in my arms for the second night in a row. That was pretty awesome. I knew I shouldn't like her, but after Lissa and I broke up, no one would talk to me. I hadn't had a real conversation with anyone until Rose became my guardian, and we started talking. She has been through so much, and so have I. I always wondered if she would ever feel the same about me, but I doubt it. Anyway, I woke up to the sounds of people talking. I listened, but tried not to let them know I was awake. It was Rose and Tasha. "...make a pretty cute couple you know. He hasn't been the same since him and Lissa broke up." Tasha said. So they were talking about me, as well as Rose and Lissa. But I don't want to get together with Lissa again. "Well, thanks...I guess, but we are just friends. Nothing more." Rose said. I don't think Tasha realized that Rose paused in there, but I did. Hmm...maybe they were talking about Rose and I. "Well, I still think you guys would be a great couple. Don't let something like your job get in the way of anything. Okay?" Whoa. They really were talking about us being together. and it was a serious conversation. I am so happy I woke up for this.
"Uh yea. okay Tasha." Was she thinking the same thing as me? Did she want this just as bad? She couldn't. She was Rose-fucking-Hathaway, going to be the best guardian there ever was. She wouldn't like me, so I better not get my hopes up. I think Tasha left. Rose layed back down on me, and it felt right. Like she was meant to be in my arms, and no one else's. "That was an interesting conversation, you had there." I said. She jumped, and gasped. It was really funny, and I started laughing "Hahaha, you should see your face right now! It's priceless." She slapped me, and it hurt a little. "God, you're such a jerk. Did you know that?" She said, while leaning forwards to get up.
"Oh, don't be like that. I can't believe she would say something like that. She knows we are only friends. Weird." I said. Well, we are only friends for now a little voice in my head said. Maybe Tasha could see that I liked Rose, and was trying to put that in her head. That would be something Tasha would do. "Yea, very weird." She said. "Hey, where do you think you're going." Is aid as she started walking away from me. "Get back here, you were keeping me warm." Yea right, I had my magic to keep me warm, but she made me happy. So I did what my head was telling me to do, and stood up to pull her back on the couch. She was trying to escape me, but I just layed on her and held her down. I knew if she really wanted to, she could get me off, but she wasn't trying her hardest. I was heavier, so my weight held her down. It felt good to have her underneath me.
"You know, you're a fire user. You can keep yourself warm, no problem. Now let me go, or I will get you back for this." She growled at me. I was finding this quite amusing.
"Oh really, well I'm not letting you go, and there is no way you can make me." I said. I knew that would get her angry though, and she is mean when she is angry.
"Well we will see about that." She said. She just looked at me for a few seconds, and then kissed me. She actually kissed me! It was great. She was a great kisser. But why was she doing this? Does this mean she feels the same way? Or was it just to see if there were sparks. I sure felt sparks. It felt like I was on every type of drug there was. But just as it was really getting good, she broke away and flipped me over on the couch. She stared down at me, and leaned over again. I was hoping she would kiss me again, but she put her face beside mine to whisper in my ear. "I win." was all she said. She got up and ran to her room. I was really confused now, and completely turned on. What was wrong with me? It was one kiss. "What was that?" Tasha said from the door. Uh oh. I didn't even know she was there. "Um, what? What are you doing here?" I asked, trying to play innocent, and knowing that it wasn't working.
"I think you like her, and she likes you. Why else would she kiss you?" She asked.
"Well, she was trying to get me off of her for one, and that was sure a way to make me let her go. And maybe she was just dazzled by my good looks." I said "Whatever you want to think, just make sure you be safe if anything does happen." She said before leaving. I was shocked. Did she just give me permission to have sex with Rose in her house? Well it was my house too, but still. She must really trust me. Maybe I can make Rose think of me like that. I will be perfect to her, not that I wasn´t already. I might as well go get ready for the day. Maybe I will take Rose shopping for stuff for her room. I bet she would like that. I will buy her whatever she wants. It will be a great day.
Hope you liked it! Please review, and give me suggestions. What do you think should happen between them next? And this goes for all chapters; before and after this- I don't own Vampire Academy, never have, never will. I know, so sad. It all belongs to Richelle Mead. Now go review!!!
