I woke up with the light streaming through my window. I smiled and stretched pulling from phone from its charger from the bedside table. I sighed as I looked at time and groaned. Sighing I got up and brushed out my hair, straightening it and put on some makeup to make my brown eyes pop before pulling on high waist-ed jeggings, black combat boots and a grey sweater jumper with long sleeves, with bits taken from the arms, completing the look with a black scarf.
Out front, hurry up! I rolled my eyes and ran down the stairs calling to my father telling him I was going out and would be back later that night, but being him, he ran after me and gave me a strange look, calling me to a stop before I reached the door.
"Where are you going?" He asked worriedly. I rolled my eyes. He has only known me for three days or so and he's the most protective parent ever. I already had Dimitri being over protective, I didn't need my father being such a protective father. I could take care of myself- I have done it countless times before and still will be able to kick any guy's ass.
"I'm just going to the mall with some friends." I laughed and kissed his cheek as I headed for the door.
"Is that Belikov kid going with you?"
"You mean Dimitri? Yes his is." I managed to get out threw gritted teeth.
"Good. I trust that boy." My mouth hung open as I looked at him. He snorted and pushed me towards the door and pushed me out of the house. I turned around and looked at the closed door still in shock.
"You okay Roza?" Dimitri ran over to me worried. I put my hand on his chest and turned to face him and smiled as I looked up at him.
"I think you just got approved of Ibrahim Mazur!" Dimitri's face broke out into a beautiful smile and I laughed, pecking him on the lips and running to the car. "And you said I was the one who would cause us to be late!" Dimitri rolled his eyes and shook his head as he ran back towards the car and pushed past me to open the door for me. I smiled and rolled my eyes at him but he just smiled and went to his side of the car and got in, driving to the mall.
After some friendly bickering and laughing between Dimitri and me, we made it to the mall and got out. Dimitri and I pushed each other all the way to the fountain like children but we didn't care. We haven't seen each other for about two years.
"Is that a smile on the emotionless Russian?" Christian chucked as Eddie out right laughed, while Lissa slapped Christian across the chest. Tasha was glaring at me from where she stood but I didn't care. I laughed with Christian.
"He can be much closed," I laughed while Dimitri rolled his eyes and chuckled slightly, crossing his arms over his chest like a pouty child.
"Hey baby! Want to come over here and I'll show you how a real man treats a sexy beast like you?" Some guy yelled from across the courtyard. Dimitri's fists clenched and my hands turned into fists. I placed a calming hand on Dimitri's arm to calm him down. I turned to the guys to see them walking over. I placed a fake smile on my face and walked up to them.
"Hey boys," I said in a seductive voice and winked at them. Getting really close to the guy that spoke, I brought my knee up and connected it with the guy's stomach and sent a round-house kick to the other guy. Dimitri came up behind me and draped his arm around my shoulders, pulling me away.
"I see you still haven't lost your touch," I chuckled and walked turned away as Dimitri led me towards my friends. I looked back and watched with a smirk as the guys struggled to get up. All my new found friends were looking at me with shock. I laughed and turned around.
"Don't mess with Rose Hathaway!" I bowed and slung my arm around Dimitri's waist as we went inside the mall, our friends following close behind us.
After four hours of shopping we headed into a café to buy food. Everyone had bags upon bags of things but I didn't get anything- I only just got everything a few days ago and I haven't ran out of anything so I didn't feel the need to buy more things, but obviously that's not what Tasha thought. The bitch was snickering through the whole trip and I was starting to get pissed off at this stage… and then she spoke.
"How come you didn't get anything Rose? Daddy not giving you money because you don't it?"
"Tasha, did you just not see who her father was?" Lissa scoffed coming to my defense. I sighed and played with my phone, robbing Dimitri's and taking some numbers from it. I sure Mason and the guys were worried about me, even if Dimitri still called and told them I was with him and everything.. They would want me to call them.
"Ha. Ibrahim Mazur is her father? Yeah right. You forgot what she said earlier- "Rose Hathaway". He was probably addressing someone else when he was in school. It's kind of sad that she's going around and claiming to be the scariest man's daughter- whom never had any relationships." Tasha scoffed and I laughed. Finishing the putting the numbers in my phone and handing Dimitri's back to him.
"Whatever you want to believe Natasha." I sipped my coffee and leaned back into my chair putting my phone into my pocket. Dimitri sighed and was about to say something but I shook my head to tell him to shut up. "Actually Dimitri, can I borrow your phone for a second?" He looked at me but handed him my phone.
"Our anniversary." I smiled and kissed his cheek as I walked off to have to privacy.
"Dimitri! What's up?"
"Mase, it's Rose!" I laughed as silence came from the other end of the line and I laughed. "Earth to Ashford! You didn't die on me did you?"
"No! I'm still here! What do you think you're doing?! All the guys have been worried sick!" I laughed.
"Relax. I'm with Dimitri and I found my dad. How's my mom?" he sighed from the other end and I leaned against the wall. "She doesn't know I left does she?"
"No." I hung up and looked up at the light, fighting to keep the tears away. Arms snaked around my waist and I crushed myself into Dimitri's chest and took a deep breath.
"Are you okay Roza?" I nodded and hugged him closer as his grip tightened around me. "Come on." He breathed and walked me back to the table. I hugged Dimitri's side tightly and he smiled down at me, kissing my head.
"I really don't want to see my brother about to lose his virginity so-"
"Viktoria!" Dimitri hissed and I bit my lip and looked down at me feet.
"You two did it, didn't you? Oh my god!" Mia squealed.
"No wonder you two are so comfortable around each other!" Lissa gushed and I rolled my eyes as Dimitri blushed.
"Well, when you're constantly in the fighting ring, you do-"Lissa laughed and Mia snickered, and then I realized what I was saying. "Not that! You guys are gross! I meant literally!"
"Yeah, Roza and I always end up wrestling each other..." Dimitri trailed off when he realized how wrong that sounded.
"I give up!" I threw my hands in the air and groaned, slamming down into my seat. The guys where saying something to Dimitri but I wasn't paying attention. I was fumbling with Dimitri's fries.
"So, we're all going to the Belikov's for dinner," Lissa clapped her hands which dragged me back to reality. Dimitri was playing with the ends of my hair under the table, not paying attention either, but his head did snap up when he heard his second name.
"My house?" He asked.
"Yeah! I told mom how you had a girlfriend!" Dimitri glared at his sister. "What? You left and didn't bring me. Mom wanted to know what was happening!" Viktoria squealed and Dimitri grumbled.
"What? Am I that bad you don't want me to meet mommy dearest?" I teased and Dimitri shot me a looked.
"It's not you... just the fact that my mom is my mom and she will-"
"Embarrass you! Awh Comrade. We are defiantly going then!" Viktoria squealed and clapped her hands jumping up and down in her seat.
"This is going to be so fun!"
"Dimitri Belikov! You have been dating this beautiful woman for ten years and you haven't told me! Or let me meet her until now!" Dimitri looked scared. Like really scared. I wanted to laugh but I kept it in by pressing my lips together.
"Yes Dimitri. Shame on you!" I laughed as Dimitri sent a glare my way. I gave him my innocent smile and he broke out into one of his own. I laughed and shoved him.
"Oh my god! You two are so cute!" Oleana gushed and I smiled brightly. Someone in the room coughed breaking me out of my trance.
"Dinner!" Dimitri smiled and held me back when everyone went into the dining room to eat, closing the door behind them.
"Sorry about my mom." I smiled up at him and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Don't worry about it. I love you Comrade." He smiled and kissed me.
"I love you too Roza."
"Dimitri! Rose! Come on!" Viktoria yelled from the dining room snapping us out of whatever trance we were in. Dimitri winked as we went into eat. It was safe to say that the main topic of conversation was Dimitri and my relationship.
