Extraordinary
Chapter 3
Walking home I kept looking over my shoulder I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being followed. I think Dimitri's russian accent was really getting to me. I had heard a lot of different accents since I moved to Boston, the Boston accent being the most prominent. It even fascinated me. Christian and I faked one in order to blend in. But never had a heard a russian one among this crowd. My mind kept wondering back to my family, and the men my father use to hire. I had to keep telling myself I was being paranoid. I would not still be here if he had found me.
If I kept being this paranoid I would get no where in life. I thought back to when we first got here, and everything made me jump, everything made my skin crawl. I had been afraid to go out, even to buy food or anything we needed. The only thing that got me through that was Christians constant words that everything was going to be fine. He did a lot to hide us, a lot to keep me sane. I found out rather quickly that there was no way I would have been able to do this alone. Having to look after your own back would have been hard and I would have been caught alone, seeing as I could not even buy my own ticket.
I sped up and made it home in record time. I opened the door and laughed at what I saw. Christian sat at the dinning room table staring at me with a pissed off look. I lived for moments like these. He tried to be all tough with me, but it never worked. I constantly did things to piss him off, small and big. There was something about him that just made it funny, and fun to piss him off.I knew what I had done, well not done, and I knew he was going to bring it up. But it was not going to do anything because I knew whatever it was, was already fixed and he just wanted to bitch to me about it.
"Guess what I came home to?" He asked me even though I knew he was not going to let me answer. "The apartment was a mess, there was no food in the fridge, and you left Max outside again." Just as he said his name Max walked in. He was our little whippet.
The cutest damn dog ever. I had made Christian let me get a dog after we found this place and I had to put up one hell of a fight to get him to agree. He said I would never take care of it, and well he was right. I only would play with max and forget to feed and walk him. I mean I would feed him sometimes but I mean there was two of us. I could barely take care of myself at times he should have seen it coming. Although he would never get rid of him he knew how much I loved the damn dog. The little guy slept with me. The dog loved me just as much as I loved him.
"Sorry sorry. I was running late. I had to get to work." Lame excuse I know, but I did not really have to try to hard with him.
"Rose that wouldn't happen if you would wake up on time." He sighed and then smiled. "Just sit down and eat your dinner it's getting cold.
Our relationship had started off horrible. We argued and threw things at each other all the time. We both had very strong ideas as to what we thought should be done, and since I had all the money I thought I should have all the say. But after a while we started to see that we needed one another. It's true Christian and I weren't blood related but in the time we had spent together we had become brother and sister. I do not know what I would have done without him, he had helped me so much. He had never faltered to keep me safe and he knew how to make me smile when I was sad. He had also figured out my insecurities and would constantly tell me he knew how well I was doing. I never knew I was a pretty girl until Christian told me I had nothing to worry about that I was beautiful. I had never had any man say that to me. He was an amazing brother, and I knew I had done right by letting him come with me.
We ate in comfortable silence, until Christian gave a small cough. He was trying to tell me something but couldn't seem to get it out. It must be something big because he usually just said what was on his mind. It is how we worked. But his look had me concerned and I once again thought about the Russian from work. I could not help but panic. Could something be wrong? Would he be telling me we had to leave this place I had learned to love. I needed him to tell me and fast before I had a panic attack and then nothing could save me.
"Spit it out man." I said wondering what had made this jack ass seem nervous. Please be OK. Please be OK.
"I bumped into someone from our past today." My heart dropped, my eyes widened and I inhaled a breath. No freaken way this was my worse nightmare come true. I was ready to hear the worse and held my breath.
"Don't worry it's not someone like that. I actually ran into Lissa Dragmir. You remember her right?" I couldn't say anything still a little scared. So I simply nodded. "We talked for a while seems like she's going to college here. Umass Boston. She seemed different. Anyways I asked her on a date. And well she said yes." He had rushed this all out. And stared at me waiting for my answer. It did not come right away I had to recap his words a few times in my mind to even begin to comprehend what he had just said, I thought my ears had heard wrong.
I couldn't respond. I don't know if it was because Lissa had been the pretty princess back in high school and I would have never pictured her talking to Christian let alone going on a date with him. They were total opposites, and I could not even see that they would have one thing in common. Had she really said yes to him. I also could not help but shake that this was someone from back home and this hit to close to feel comfortable with. I mean she was from LA too, what were the chances of this? A Russian and Lissa, this would end horribly.
"Like I said she seemed different. In a good way and was actually happy to go on this date. Rose are you going to say anything?" He waved his hand across my face. His icy blues eyes getting wider by the moment, he was looking for my approval and I knew I had to give it to him it was the least I could do. And so I finally spoke.
"I mean it's great you got a date. I mean epic I know I've been the only woman in your life and all." He rolled his eyes to this. "But don't you think this could end horribly. Her parents know, knew our parents."
He just shrugged and looked down at his plate. "I don't know she seemed to have run away from all that too." He looked up at me and seemed sad. "Her parents are gone." He left it at that and kept eating. I decided not to question him.
The conversation dropped and I just let it go. I mean I was almost 20 years old now. My father couldn't drag me home anymore. I wasn't under age. I knew Christian would protect me he would never let anything happen to me especially after everything we had been through. I smiled at him, and he returned the smile and got up to go shower and go to bed. I got up putting my dish in the sink and went to take a shower. Something told me I needed to take a hot shower and relax, I had been hit with too many things tonight and I could not freak out.
When I got out I finally took my phone out of my bag. I had 12 missed calls and 20 text messages all from one person. Adrian. He was Daniela and Nathan's only son. He smoked, he drank. And never worked a day in his life. He was cute so when he had asked me out I didn't hesitate to say yes.
I had never been on a date. Hell I never had anyone show any interest in me. So going out with him seemed like the right thing to do.
He was actually very sweet and caring. And constantly showered me with gifts. But our relationship was missing something. Something like a spark. I felt bad thinking this but I think I felt more for that new instructor that I knew nothing about than what I felt for Adrian. None the less I let the relationship continue thinking this was as good as it was going to get. I was lucky and he was a good guy, he had his vices, and yes when he was drunk he was a total ass. Ok maybe ass was a nice word when he drank he was horrible and would say things that hurt, but I knew deep down inside he was a good man. A possessive mean bullying man. I called him back and he picked up on the first ring.
"Hey there little ninja!" He yelled into the phone. He was always so happy to hear from me, and I felt bad once again knowing that I did not feel the same way.
"Hey Adrian. Everything ok? You exploded my phone." I said sounding annoyed which I was. He always called too much, texted too much. I felt smothered. I was starting to think he was a little obsessed.
"Nah just wanted to hear your voice." I could almost imagine him shrugging, laying back on his couch having a drink.
"Well I've got to go to bed I'm tired." I knew I should talk to him but in reality we had nothing in common. And usually the conversations were all about him. I was starting to want him to ask more about me, but he seem to think it was ok that everything was about him. He thought giving me gifts would make up for everything. I felt more like arm candy sometimes than a girlfriend. I knew he was nice and sweet and tried, but it was not that great when he drank a lot. He changed under the influence.
"Ok fine I'll let you go but you have to do me a favor. And you can't say no or ill show up at your place. Ok so how about me you and a few select people go to a club. I even got you a fake id!"
"Well it seems like I don't have a choice so sure, why the hell not. Good night Adrain." And I hung up. Sleep came slowly, and I knew why. I had to do something about Adrian he was getting attached, and I wasn't. I promised I would but I would break it off but would wait til after the club. That actually sounded like a lot of fun. Plus maybe I was not thinking straight about Adrian, I mean who else would want me this badly?
So what do you think? Review... Sorry about Adrian he will be a bad guy... But deep down inside he is good... Just issues you see! Review and maybe Ill post again this week.. But only if you review and do it well
