"I told you I'll get back at you for...shocking me." Dimitri said as I turned around. The scent of his aftershave was intoxicating. I inhaled deeply.

"That was mean, comrade." He turned me around and kissed me. Just when the kisses started to get deep and hungry, he, as usual, broke it.

"Take that as a test, though I must say that there were a few things you shouldn't have done. First, I'm glad that you thought of Lissa but you shouldn't scream her name cause other Strigoi might hear you and attack her before you could even get out of this room. Secondly, never ever scream 'WHERE'S MY STAKE?' you just told a strigoi that you're unarmed. They'll kill you right away." Here we go again. More zen lessons.

I sat on the bed while he stood in front of me, explaining to me what I should have done. Before I lost concentration, and I was on the brink of losing it, I interrupted him by saying "you know what I liked about it?"

He raised an eyebrow. "You liked it?" a smile was playing on his lips.

"One part of it. I wasn't fond of the whole scare-rose-as-a-test thing." I moved towards him and motioned for him to turn around so that his back was facing me.

"I liked this part the most." I wrapped my arms around his waist and spun him around, finishing the whole scene with a kiss.

I could feel him smile and I heard a chuckle escaping from him. It became intense pretty fast and soon, we were on the bed. I don't remember how we got on the bed but, we were on the bed. What I do remember was his hands on my back and in my hair whereas mine were on his neck pulling him close. It was just like animal passion now. I started to unbutton his shirt. One button down...two buttons down...three butt-

"ROSE, I've be-" the door burst open and in came Lissa. Her mouth dropped opened for a split second but she closed it right away. I had to think of something. I ran up towards Lissa and waved my hands in her face. "YOU'RE DREAMING! YOU HAD SEX WITH CHRISTIAN BUT IT WAS SO BAD THAT YOU FELL ASLEEP! YOU'RE DREAMING!" I waved my hands more vigorously. "WHOOO! Go back to sleeeeeeep..."

Dimitri came up behind me and placed his hands on my shoulders. "It's not working Roza, and I think it's time for Lissa to know. I'll be waiting outside, leaving you two some time to sort this thing out." He turned to Lissa and gave her a quick bow. "Princess." With that, he left.

I sat on the bed while Lissa was still standing at the door. She was really shocked about it. I patted the space beside me. She walked towards me and sat down.

She looked me in the eye. She looked hurt. "Why didn't you tell me?" Tears were about to escape her eyes. From the bond, I could sense that she felt that I couldn't trust her.

"No, it's not that I couldn't trust you Liss, it's just that, well...we couldn't really tell anyone." She stayed quiet. She just sat there...thinking. She reviewed every single moment she saw me and Dimitri. The ones that she could remember.

"I can't believe I didn't see this coming. You're auras. No wonder they look like fireworks when the two of you are together."

"That's how Adrian found out. He realized from our auras."

She faced me and asked "Adrian knew?" I knew what she was thinking. She thought that I could trust Adrian but not her. I hurt me that she thought that way.

"No, it's not like that. He figured it out and I tried to make him think otherwise but..." I sighed. "I really did wanted to tell you Lissa, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. It's just a feeling. I don't know..." I tried my best to let her know the truth without hurting her. I couldn't tell anyone. His job and our lives were at stake. And worse comes to worse, I might be assigned to another Moroi so that I wouldn't get distracted. To an extent, her life was at stake too.

"Hey, if it helps, you're the first person that I told. Officially at least. Adrian's just a dumbass who sticks his butt into other people's business."

I heard a small laugh escape her lips. And then, I told her everything, from the lust spell to the practice sessions, ending at the current situation.

Lissa started to understand. She took in every piece of information and linked it to whatever she saw between Dimitri and I. She even let herself laugh at the fact that some of them happened right in front of her but she didn't notice. If you think about it, it is funny.

We started to have a LONG talk about the current topic. It was just like old time when we used to talk about boys and laugh all night long.

"You really do love him don't you?" she asked. She could tell from how I acted or how my face changes when I was explaining a particular moment about the two of us.

"You just glow when you're around him don't you? You really do love him." She smiled and I chuckled.

"I think you know me well enough to know the answer without me telling you."

She squealed, practically jumping on the bed. She stopped all of a sudden. "I just realized, that we've been talking for almost an hour and Dimitri is outside waiting for you. Not to mention, you haven't taken a bath so you stink and you breath smells like onions. What exactly did you eat yesterday Rose?"

"Oh crap, yeah!" I ran towards the bathroom only to trip on a book that was on the floor. I fell flat on the floor, face first.

Lissa laughed. I pointed towards her and replied "I did NOT trip. I was just testing gravity. It still works." Lissa just laughed harder.

I got up and ran towards the bathroom. I quickly took a bath and brushed my teeth. I ran back outside but the floor was so slippery that I fell on my bum.

Lissa laughed so hard that she was gasping for air. "Testing for gravity again Rose?"

"UHH...YEAH!" I screamed back.

We walked out laughing at clumsiness. Dimitri was waiting outside, leaning on the wall, looking sexy I might add.

Lissa walked ahead of us to meet Eddie, Christian and Adrian in the cafeteria.

"I told her everything. You're right. It was time for her to know." I smiled and looked up at him only to see him smiling back.

We walked towards the cafeteria in silence. I pushed open the double doors and saw Adrian sitting on our usual table. I decided to take this opportunity to annoy him. I screamed aloud "HEY ADRIAN! WHERE'S YOUR POWERPUFF GIRL COSTUME!"

Everyone burst into laughter and he simply smiled. He screamed back "I RETURNED IT TO YOU!" everyone was in hysterics by now. I had to admit, that was a good one. Dimitri shook his head and walked the opposite way, towards the other guardians. I laughed and walked towards Adrian.

I sat down and grabbed Eddie's unopened bottle of coke. "Hey!" I heard Eddie exclaim. I shrugged and drank from the bottle.

"How about a bet?" proposed Christian.

"Sure. Let's start now." I answered.

"But you don't even know what it is yet."

"I'm going to win anyway so just give me the details." Christian smiled his trademark smile and explained "I bet that you can't say one swear word in the next 24 hours. Starting now." His smile grew wider.

I protested "Hey! Making me go one day without saying one swear word is like asking me to have sex with Jesse! Impossible!"

He laughed and replied "Should have thought of that before you agreed to it. Looser has to serve the winner on Monday. For a FULL day. Just the thought of Rose serving me is just awesome." He leaned back and pointed to someone behind me. "Speak of the devil, here he comes."

I turned and saw Jesse and Ralf walk up towards us. " I heard my name and the word sex said in the same sentence. Who's offering?" He looked at me and grinned. I stood up to give him a smartass remark when he pinched my butt.

"Touch me one more time and you'll be walking back with one leg because the other will be shoved up your-"

"Rose..." Lissa warned. Oh yeah, no swears.

"...Behind" I finished.

"Oh come on Rose, you know you wanted me to do that..." Jesse replied.

"You know, I've heard of people with pea brains but you actually have a pea for a brain."

Jesse laughed and then walked off. That idiot better watch his back on Monday. He can bet that I'll be up to something.

I spent the next hour chatting with them, annoying Christian, the usual. Christian decided to test me then. He took out a pen and wrote on a napkin. He passed it to me the napkin asking me to say it out loud. I took at and said "Teach Christian how to spell bi- I mean, the word that replaces the words female dog."

"Crap." I heard him say. I crushed up the napkin and threw it in his face.

"Hey!" he exclaimed.

"Oh I was aiming for the area behind you but you have such a big head..." Eddie laughed and Christian shot him a look. I could feel someone come up behind me and I turned around. Dimitri's tall figure loomed above me. "You have practice today." It may be a weekend but I still had training.

I sighed and bid everyone goodbye as I headed to my dorm to change into something more appropriate for training. I heard Lissa in my head. "Training Rose? Or training..."

I laughed and continued my way towards my room.

A few minutes later, I reached the gym only to hear Dimitri saying "You're late."

I dropped my bag and looked at him. "Comrade, when am I ever early?" He shrugged. "Good point."

He walked towards the door and motioned for me to follow. "Come on, let's go do your laps."

He made me do extra laps today. He came up with a brilliant idea all of a sudden. For every minute I'm late, he'll make me run an extra lap. And I was late for 10 minutes. In total, I ran 30 laps. Dimitri made it look so easy. I went back into the gym and plopped down on the matt.

"Come on Rose, get up." He was standing above me now and despite running 30 laps, that scent of his aftershave was still strong.

"I can't." I replied. "Gravity is sucking me in."

He laughed and grabbed my arm. He pulled me up but didn't let go. He cupped my face and kissed the bridge of my nose. I chuckled. "You do know that I smell like socks right now right?"

He laughed and butterflies appeared in my stomach. He replied "I wouldn't care if you smell like a trash can. I'll kiss you anyway." He closed the distance between us and as things started to get hot and heavy, he pushed me back to the wall. Only, we didn't end up at the wall. I tripped and we fell on the matt, with him on top of me.

We laughed and he kissed me once more. I whispered against his lips, "I love you"

He pulled back, looking into my eyes and said "You're the first and last thought of my every day." My heart did hands stands and cartwheels.

As he leaned in to give me another kiss, the door burst open. Dimitri jumped back and I screamed "SHIT!"
