Usual disclaimers apply…obviously. Yaaa I finished another chapter! :D
I woke up to someone shaking my shoulders. I moved the hair out of my face and looked up to might I say a veryyyy hot guy. He had blue eyes and brown hair and was verryyyyyyyyyyy muscular which you could tell under his shirt.
"Uh…hi?" I said.
"Princess asked me to wake you up." He said.
"Oh okay." I stuck out my hand. "My names Rose." He shook my hand.
"My names Cameron." I sat up and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. "We will be landing in thirty minutes." He told me then walked away. Well geez that was…weird. Well anyway better go find my angel before we land. I walked to the back of the plane and found my angel sleeping on the couch and Christian and Lissa sitting next to her watching a movie.
"Hey guys." I said getting rid of any of my thoughts before I fell asleep. It was time for the façade.
"Hey Rose. You feeling any better?" Lissa asked. Time for operation lie my ass off.
"Oh ya I feel a lot better. I think I just needed some rest and to just relax. Thanks for taking care of Elena." I lied smoothly. From the look on their faces they believed it, as I knew they would. I have always been a good liar.
Just then the pilot came on "We will be landing in Moscow in 5 minutes. Please fasten your seat belts as we make our descent. Thank you." I sat down next to my little angel and fastened my seatbelt.
"Elena…Elena…It's time to wake up." I whispered into her ear. She sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"How much longa mommie?" she asked.
"Were landing in less than five minutes that's why I had to wake you up." I answered, and then I thought about it. .GOD. In less than five minutes I am going to be heading to the place where Dimitri is…oh SHIT! Elena must have felt me stiffen and said "Mommie its okay." I looked down at her and kissed her forehead. I instantly felt calmer. She had that effect on me.
"Thanks sweetheart." I whispered.
"Soooo Rose. How'd you like the guy that woke you up?" Lissa asked me with a smile. Ohhhh now I get why she sent him to wake me up.
"Well Lissa I sure enjoyed the view." I laughed.
"Good." Was all she said. I then felt the plane start to descent and I went silent. I was aware that they were talking around me but I ignored it. Deep breath…deep breath I thought. You can do this. He chose this…it was his decision you can't do anything about it.
"Rose...Rose?" Christian said breaking me out of my thoughts.
"Ya." I said.
"Well you kind of spaced out for a minute so I thought that there was something wrong. Are you sure you okay?" he asked me.
"Ya I'm fine…I just was thinking about something." I said with a big fake ass smile. And guess what he fell for it!
"Okay. So my aunt sent someone to pick us up but I'm not sure who and they're going to bring us the hotel where…there getting married." Christian said gliding over avoiding saying his name.
"Guys you can say Dimitri's name in front of me. I'm not that fragile." I said.
"I know, but we just didn't wanna make you sad." Lissa said.
"Ya momma Chrissie was just trying to make you happier." Elena piped in. Damn she was too cute.
"Well fine thanks Christian." I said. Insert fake smile here. He just gave me one of his famous smirks and sat back. I felt the plane land and I frowned.
"Rose it's going to be fine. We'll be there when you see him. You're not going to ever be alone with him." Lissa said.
"Lissa that's not what I'm frownin' about." I lied. "It's that fact that I don't want him to find out about this little cutie right here. I know you probably think that it's wrong but I don't think it is. I don't want him to just come back to me because of a kid, I want him to come back to me because he loves me and since I know that's never going to happen, I don't think he should know that he has a kid. I'm sorry Elena but I am the mother and I would prefer for you not to meet your father properly with him knowing. I'm truly sorry." I said.
"I'm sorry Rose I didn't me-" she started to say but I cut her off.
"No it's fine. I shouldn't have said that I'm the one that should be sorry." I said. She just nodded her head 'no' but gave up.
"Momma please don't be sad. I don't mind not having a dada. I have Chrissie and Lissi to make up for it. When I meet him I'm to be nice like you taught me but nothing more. He made my momma sad and he doesn't deserve to have me or you." My wonderful daughter said. I couldn't have said it better.
"Thanks sweetie." I said. I gave her a big kiss on the cheek and started to unbuckle us. "Time to get this over with." We grabbed our things and walked off the plane. I pointed out the driver and we walked over to meet him. He told us his name was Paul and that he would be driving us to the hotel where the wedding was being held. No shit. I laughed silently in my head. I must have had a weird smile on my face as we got in the car because Lissa asked "Rose you okay."
I laughed a little "Ya I just thought of something." I said as we started to pull away from the air strip. Paul was talking about all the landmarks and Lissa, Christian, and Elena were all talking with him so I just zoned out.
Dimitri was right. This place wasn't an 'arctic wasteland', not even close to it. There were shops in town with people walking around with green grass and parks and trees surrounding it. The buildings had beautiful painting and architecturally things that I had no clue what they were but they sure were beautiful. This place was beautiful.
When we pulled up to the hotel, who knows how long after we left the airport, I started getting really nervous again but I just held Elena's hand and ignored the feeling that it gave me. We got out of the car and my mouth dropped open. WOW! This place was beyond beautiful. In the front it had a water fountain with gardens surrounding it leading up to the entrance. The building itself was huge. I wondered if they had rented the whole thing…oh wow that's a lot of people. That just made me even more nervous. We walked into the building and were greeted by I'm guessing the Belikov's because they looked just like him. Ouch.
"Hello I'm Olena and this is Viktoria, Sonya, Karolina, Paul, Zoya, and Babushka." Olena, Dimitri's mother said pointing out each person. She shook all our hands and gave the respectable bows where needed when she got to me she looked down at Elena and her eyes opened in shock. I guess she noticed the resemblance. I just hope she didn't mention it.
"Oh wow what a beautiful little girl you have here. What's your name?" Olena asked.
"Elena Lissa Hathaway." My little angel said.
"Hathaway?" Olena asked. She looked up at me.
"So you must be Rose?" she asked me while surprising me and giving me a huge hug. I returned the hug awkwardly.
"Uhh yes I am." I said. Olena turned towards the rest of the family and said something in Russian. They all squealed and came and gave me hugs, even the scary looking grandmother.
"Were so happy to meet you Roza, Dimka talks about you so much." She exclaimed. I was shocked I didn't even think they would know about me.
"No mama he wouldn't shut up about her sometimes." Viktoria said. I laughed fakely and looked back at Lissa. Her eyes held sadness and she came to the rescue for me.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Belikov. But little Elena is very tired from the flight and we were wondering if you could show us to our rooms?" Lissa asked very politely.
"Oh I'm so sorry how rude of me. You guys must be tired. I'll show you immediately to your rooms. And dear you may all call me Olena. Mrs. Belikov makes me feel old." She said. I smiled sadly and looked down at Elena. She pulled my arm and I picked her up.
"Oh dear Rose do you mind sharing a room with Viktoria?" Olena asked me.
"Oh that's fine." I said. Viktoria looked like the kind of girl I would easily get along with.
"yesssssss" she squealed while grabbing my arm and dragging me and Elena upstairs. I looked back to see Lissa and Christian with sympathetic smiles on their faces.
"So Rose? Is that you're daughter or are you just babysitting." Viktoria asked.
"Oh Elena is mine." I said.
"Oh well I just thought since you look so young." She stumbled.
"Oh it's fine. You're right. I'm twenty actually. But I had Elena when I was seventeen." I said.
"I see." She said. "Do you mind me asking who the father is?" she asked. Ugh oh. Just make up some lame lie! Rose you can do this.
"A one night stand." I whispered to her so Elena couldn't hear. She just smiled knowingly and dropped the subject.
"Momma I'm tired." Elena whispered with her head on my shoulder.
"Yes I know sweet heart you'll get in bed real soon." I told her. We stopped walking in front of a door and Viktoria unlocked it and walked in. The room was as beautiful as expected. The room was big with a little lounge area and a small kitchen and dining area. There look to be to doors on the left and another one on the right.
"There's two bathrooms in here. The door on the right, and the second door on the left and the first door right there." She said pointing. "Is the bedroom. There's two queens in there, but if you'd like I could just sleep on the couch out here and you and you daughter could have the bedroom." She stated.
"No you can have one bed and I'll take the other. Me and Elena don't mind sharing."
"Okay." She said. "You're luggage should be here soon. I'll let you two sleep off the jet lag and i'll wake you up when it's time for dinner." Vikki said.
"Thanks." I said. I yawned, and Viktoria giggled. I walked into the bedroom placed the already asleep Elena under the covers and tucked her in. I walked to the other side of the bed and got under the covers without even taking my shoes off and fell into a deep sleep.
I think this is my longest chapter yet! Yaaa. Next chapters going to be in Dimitri's POV :D Review! :D
