Shit. Please just be going to a table behind us. Don't come over here. Please, don't come over here. "Hi Rose," fuck.

I looked up from my food and starred at the Russian sex god in front of me, "Hi Dimitri," I mumbled. For some strange reason, I didn't want Dimitri by me. At all. I know, how strange, right? Lissa gazed at me with a who-the-hell-is-this-guy look and I sighed, "Lissa, this is…" I stopped trying to think of what Dimitri is to me. My soul mate? My soon-to-be husband? My delicious Russian candy bar? Personally, I liked the last one, but Dimitri already filled in the gap for me.

"I'm Dimitri, Rose's friend," He smiled at Lissa and she smiled back. I didn't really like the friend part, but it is better than nothing. I looked at Dimitri, really looked, and saw his eyes. They weren't showing any emotion which I thought was extremely weird. One thought came into my mind at that moment. Doesn't this guy have friends his own age? Like 24 year-old friends and not 17 year-old girls?

Before I could find an answer to my question Dimitri had already pulled up a chair and sat down with us, making me have to be even closer to him. And OHMYGOSH, he smelled good! I wanted to attack him right than and there with a make-out session but the table stopped me from doing that. Today Dimitri was wearing a tight t-shirt, one that showed off his muscles and his hot body. He was also wearing blue jeans, which, might I say, when he was standing up, showed off his nice ass.

Dimitri pulled me out of my daze a few moments later, "So, what are you girls doing today?"

Dimitri was really hot, but I only met him once, and he is 7 years older than me. So why is he so interested in what I do?

"Oh, we don't really know. Maybe just a ride in Rose's car," For once, I wanted Lissa to really shut up. This is basically a stranger we are talking to, not some family friend. I was also starting to feel a bad vibe coming from Dimitri; almost as though he was hiding something.

"Something wrong, Rose?" Dimitri questioned me. He was doing that one eyebrow lifted thing that I wasn't capable of doing. This just made me more suspicious of Dimitri.

"Yeah, actually," I started, "I just have-" Before I could get out my sentence, our waitress, Melissa, came by.

"Do you girls want the check?" she asked, seeming not to even notice Dimitri right next to me. And trust me; it was pretty hard not to notice Dimitri at that moment. For one second his eyes flashed panic, than went back to the unemotional stones they were before. What the hell is up with him? He also seemed to stiffen up at the sight of Melissa, maybe an old girlfriend?

Lissa nodded her head and Melissa left. Halfway back to where the cash register was she turned around. Melissa starred at Dimitri for a few minutes in… shock? Than she seemed to flick out her cell phone and make a call. Dimitri noticed this too because his expression turned from friendly to stone. The changed was so quick that it would be impossible to notice unless you were looking at him intensely, which I was.

"You girls said something about a car ride, right? Would you mind if I come along… I know some good places to hang out," He was smiling at Lissa again, but this one seemed to be forced and not the natural ones he was giving me last night. Ugh. Stupid sexy Russian god of candy bar goodness that I can't resist, but has a secret hidden in that accent.

"Yeah, you can come along," Lissa said kindly. Gosh Lissa, STOP BEING SO KIND! For the first time in my life, I think I was actually getting annoyed at Lissa. I know, it shocked me too.

Dimitri started to get up when Lissa reminded him that we still needed to pay. Good job Lissa, make him stay put and face the waitress. But instead of sitting back down Dimitri pulled a hundred dollar bill out of his pocket and put it on the table. A freaking hundred dollar bill! What the hell was this guy playing at?

Lissa didn't seem to notice anything, again, and just went out the door towards my car leaving me walking out with Dimitri. Great. Once we reached the exit Dimitri looked over his shoulder at Melissa. She was talking into a phone while looking at our table, giving it a glare. "So, what were you saying before Melissa interrupted you?" He asked me. I didn't know if I should answer his question, but being Rose Hathaway, I decided I had to.

"Well, I was going to ask…" I stopped suddenly, not knowing if I should interrogate him. If he was someone who was dangerous I didn't need him getting suspicious of me catching onto to him, "Why are you so interested in what Lissa and I do?" I put a seductive spin on my question trying not to give up my composer. Thinking about it, I would probably make a good spy if I ever needed to be one. I would make an awesome one. How many other people wouldn't have broken composer with a hot Russian guy that is most likely dangerous right there in front of them? Yeah, not many.

"How could I not be interested in what you're doing, Rose?" Dimitri took my hand and put it in his. If it wasn't for the fact that he was a lying secret keeper I would've been thrilled, but at that moment I was just trying to keep a smile on my face. I ran my thumb along the back of his hand and he smiled. This was a genuine smile, not those fake crappy ones he was giving Lissa a second ago. Gosh, this guy is so bipolar.

Once we reached my car Lissa was waiting to get in the back, making Dimitri have to take shot-gun. I slipped into my car and gave Dimitri one of my flirty smiles. He didn't seem to notice it though, probably because he was too busy looking at the black van across the street. I hope it was the people that girl Melissa called, maybe her brothers coming to beat Dimitri up? They seemed to be coming out of the van slowly, looking around, and than settling their gazes on my car. They whispered to each other and started to walk over by us. Yes. I wanted them to drag Dimitri out of the car, right now, and take him away. But a girl can only dream, right?

Before I could even start my damn car the Russian touched my hand, "Can I drive?" He asked with puppy dog eyes. The guys from the van were getting closer, and I am pretty sure Dimitri knew this fact. I started to watch the van-people and noticed that they were all carrying stuff. It wasn't until I heard the shots fired that I realized they were carrying guns.

"Rose, get in the back!" Dimitri yelled. I hopped out of the car and moved my way quickly to the passenger seats. Dimitri started the car and had it ready to go before I even had a chance to shut the door, which, trust me, was not good at all. He backed out of the parking lot and sped down the street- with my door wide open. Shots still rang past my car and Lissa was screaming. A few bullets hit the open door, and when Dimitri made a sharp turn I fell out.

Because of the fast reflexes the Hathaway's seemed to have, I shot my hand out and was able to hold onto the open door. I went into a ball, not wanting my feet to be skidding across the ground with these ridiculous speeds Dimitri was going. Looking back towards where the black van was I noticed people getting into it, and then it started moving. How great. Shots were still zipping by my face, all coming from the black van behind us that seemed to be gaining speed. And fast.

I started to scream, not because of the bullets, not because I was about to die, not because of on-coming traffic, but because of the damage done to my precious car! I swear I would've cried if I wasn't about to lose my grip on the door.

Okay Rose, I thought, you can fix this. I stretched out my legs and swung them towards the inside of the car. "Lissa!" I yelled, "Hold on to my legs and pull!" The first time I swung my legs they didn't make it inside the car, leading for them to skid across the pavement. Even though it was only for a brief second it still hurt like hell.

"Get ready, Lissa!" I looked at Lissa and she nodded. I swung my legs towards the inside again, this time with success. Lissa gripped onto my legs and started to pull. Once my bottom half was in the car I used my strength to pull the door closed.

"Rose!" Lissa hugged me tight and I hugged back. That was a close one, too close for my liking. Dimitri was still at the wheel, determination in his eyes. I can't believe I let a madman in my car, actually I can believe that, but I can't believe I once thought this guy could be normal. Nice job, Rose, always choosing the weird guys to be the receivers of your affection.

"Ahhh!" Lissa emitted a girly scream and we both ducked. The back window shattered as bullets soared through it. Dimitri grunted as a bullet grazed his shoulder but still seemed to be able to drive. Honks and cusses filled the air around us as Dimitri sped past in my mustang. He rolled down his window and pulled something out of his pocket. A gun was in his hand a before I knew it the gun was out the window shooting at the van-people.

"Dimitri!" I yelled. He seemed to be ignoring me so I tugged on his arm. The car did a slight swerve, but Dimitri quickly regained control of the car.

"What?" He asked irritated, "Don't you see I'm busy, or do you want to die?" I let his words spin around inside my head until I replied.

"Give me that gun before you get yourself killed," He didn't even flinch as I reached for the gun, he basically handed it to me. "Good, now just focus on driving and don't get us killed."

I held the gun in my hand and rolled down my own window. I stuck my head out and aimed the gun at the van. Two figures were doing the same as me, but unlike them, I never hesitate. I pulled the trigger and got one right in the shoulder making him drop the gun he was holding. Losing my element of surprise the other started to shoot at me. I swiftly ducked back into the car and waiting until the bullets whizzed past.

My heart beat was racing so fast I thought that it might pop out of my chest. I, rose Hathaway, just shot someone! Holy fucking shit! I stuck my head back out the window and shot the guy who was shooting at me, and boy, when he fell out of the van it looked like it hurt. Lissa just starred at me, pure shock on her face. I bet she didn't believe I could do something like that. I didn't either until it actually happened.

With my mind wandering off for just a second I thought of how proud my mom would be. "Watch out!" Lissa yelped. She pulled me closer to her and buckled us in just as the van crashed right into the side of my car. Oh no, they did not just do that to my car. The force of the van crashing into the side of my car made the door come flying off. And not to mention it also sent the car spiraling out of control into the nearby woods. Ya!

"AHHHHHHH!!!" Our screams seemed to echo around us as the woods came closer and closer. Finally, our car tumbled about five times than stopped. I had a few scrapes, some bruises, and than one large gash on my leg. Lissa looked like she was about to throw-up, but other than that she wasn't hurt that badly. Dimitri on the other hand, well, he was a mess, and I was very surprised he wasn't unconscious. He had only a few scraps and bruises but the bullet graze on his shoulder started to bleed, a lot. There was also a very nice piece of glass sticking out of his forehead.

"Are you two okay?" Dimitri asked concerned. I only starred at him for a moment than spoke.

"Are you fucking kidding me? What the hell do you think? I got a fucking gash in my leg and Liss over here is about to barf her brains out! Do you think we're okay?" I was getting angry all over again, but I needed to control my feelings just until I knew Lissa and I were safe.

"Thanks for the answer. Now come on, they're probably turning around right now and if they find us the result is not going to be pretty," I looked behind through the broken glass window and saw the black van making a u-turn. Shit.

"We will follow you on one condition," Lissa and I started to get out of the car, as well as Dimitri, "If anything, and I mean anything at all, happens to me or Lissa because of you, I won't hesitate to kill you."

Dimitri smirked and than led us into the woods, "I promise Roza, I would never let anything happen to you, now you can either follow me or most likely get killed."

"Wait, one more thing," I added, "Promise to tell us what the hell is going on, alright?" Dimitri nodded his face emotionless. He went into the woods, but I still stayed put in my spot along with Lissa. A squeal from the van made us move quicker into the woods. I looked back again and saw nothing. WTF? A van was just there, how the hell…

"Come on Roza. Don't take all day now," Dimitri called to me. I shrugged my shoulders and went into the woods. "Okay, first lets get cleaned up and than I will explain things."

"You better explain things," I muttered. All I heard was a grunt from Dimitri, which was caused by him pulling out the glass in his head. What happened next I did not expect. He tore his white t-shirt off and ripped it into pieces. He wrapped one piece around the wound on his forehead and the other around his shoulder. He came over to me next.

"Give me your leg," He said. I did as told, too distracted by his bare chest to complain. He wrapped the rest of his t-shirt around the gash in my leg, leaving him without a shirt. Oh, that just sucks (Note the heavy sarcasm).

Lissa was off in the woods somewhere puking, leaving just me and a shirtless Dimitri all alone. Might I mention how hot and sexy he looked without a shirt. Gosh. How come all the bad stuff always happens to me?


Okay, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter! We get to see some action :)) Hahahaha!! Any guesses on what Dimitri is hiding? I have a few... :) And trust me, the van-people will be coming back :)) REVIEWS ARE NEEDED BECAUSE I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!! So thanks for reading and review...
