Thank you for reviewing. I hope you're having a nice Thanksgiving break if you have one. (:
I can't remember the last time I had slept that good. "Good morning," I said to an empty room. "Or not." Where was Dimitri? He was usually right next to me or at my desk. I rolled over to see what time it was and saw a little note on my nightstand. It said:
Sorry, I'm not with you again this morning, but I needed to go back to my room to get ready this morning. I couldn't bring myself to wake you up. You looked so peaceful. Get ready and I'll pick you up at seven thirty. Don't forget to take your medication. I love you.
-D
What time is it now? I looked at my alarm and it said seven. Shit! I had to get ready. I took a quick shower, put on a Wildfox Love Potion sweater, a pair of skinny jeans, and silver TOMS. I took my meds and put on a smudge of eyeliner, barely enough to notice. When are girls ever going to realize a lot of eyeliner doesn't make you look pretty, it only makes you look like a hoe? I grabbed my favorite Louis Vuitton bag Lissa and I had and put my wallet and junk in there. Right when I was finishing my door opened. I looked into those brown eyes and it seemed like my world fell into place.
"Ready?" Dimitri asked me after a minute of us staring at each other.
Was he insane? We were going to eat and shop. Of course I was read, "Hell yeah!" I exclaimed. Today was going to be a good day. I grabbed a pair of sunglasses and left.
"Why did you leave this morning?" I asked as we were walking to the parking lot.
"Did you not read my note?" he asked sounding a little hurt.
"Of course, but it just said you left to get ready. You could have done that in my room," I told him. If I had to admit it I was a little upset. He knows how uncomfortable it is for me to be without him.
"Well, one reason is because people are going to start wonder what's going on if I'm always with you. Another is because I don't have any more clean clothes in your room. Trust me I didn't leave you alone because I wanted to," he told me rubbing my back soothingly. I guess I did sound upset.
I understood why he left, but some irrational part of my brain was worried he didn't love me even though he tells me he loves me constantly.
"Rose, I love you, you know I do," he told me ask if he could read my mind.
"I love you too," I told him. I'd been wondering this all morning, but never asked, "Hey, Comrade, I know you're kind of friends with Celeste. Does she know we're together?"
He laughed, "I'm more friends with Eddie and Lissa than I am Celeste, so no. She doesn't know." That made me smile. I was glad he liked my friends. They were the only family I'd ever had.
When we got to the parking lot there were two Mercedes SUVs my friends were all there along with my parents, it was weird to say that in the plural, and a handful of Guardians I didn't know.
I hugged Lissa then Abe. I really did like him. "Abe, who are all of these people?" I asked him.
"They're my guardian," He told me as if it was normal for someone other than the queen to travel with this may Guardians.
"And there are so many of them because. . ." I asked. It didn't make any since.
"Because it's better to be safe than sorry, let's just leave it at that," He told me kissing my forehead. Ugh. He wasn't going to tell me what he did for a living. Damn it.
With Abe's Guardians driving we got to Missoula on about fifteen minutes early. Breakfast was really awesome. Uneventful, but awesome. I ate so much I probably gained about ten pounds. Come to think of it I have been gaining some weight lately. I haven't been working out like I'm supposed to. It's probably just that I thought.
Lissa and I were really excited about the shopping. Neither of us had been shopping in a while. We went to Macy's first. It was the only major department store in the state. Shocker right? That is one of the worse things about living in Montana. The shopping is simply okay.
We had just entered the juniors department when Lissa found something she wanted, "Rose! Look! It's a Glee hoodie!" she squealed. I had to admit it was kind of cute, and Glee was one of our obsessions right now, so we got the hoodies.
After I found real clothes I was looking at workout clothes when Dimitri wrapped his arms around my waist. "What do you think you're doing" he asked me.
"Uh getting workout clothes?" I said confused. What does it look like I'm doing?
"I don't think so. You're not here to work. Go. Shop. Have fun."
"I already got some stuff," I said showing him the two pairs of jeans and the Glee hoodie. "I need new workout clothes if you want us to get any training done when I'm aloud to train again," I told him honestly
"What do you mean?" He asked me. He looked confused.
"Well, the workout clothes I ordered before the attack are, well, let's just say we wouldn't workout at all if I wore them," I told him thinking about the tiny shorts and sports bras I ordered.
He laughed, "Oh, Roza, what am I going to do with you?"
"I could think of a few things, but none of them are appropriate to do in public . . . Unless you like that sort of thing," I laughed.
"Don't you wish," he smiled down at me. "Go buy real clothes," he said turning me in the way of the dresses. Oh fuck! I still needed a prom dress!
I turned around and looked at Dimitri horror struck, "Dimitri I don't have a prom dress,"
"Andrea said there's a prom dress store up-stairs," he told me
"Who?" I asked. I didn't know anyone named Andrea besides this chick that was in Stan's class with me in eighth grade.
"She's one of your fathers Guardians. We were friends in school," He explained. For some reason I got slightly jealous. She was Abe's only other female guardian besides mom, and she was pretty.
"Ah so that's who that girl you were talking to was," I said giving him my best 'all knowing girlfriendish' look as Mason used to call it.
"Uh, yeah. Go pay for your stuff and we'll go to the prom store," he said kissing my forehead. It made him feel awkward. Good.
We weren't in the store ten minutes when I found the dress. It was perfect. I had shoes in my closet that would match perfectly. It was about lunch time for regular humans and I was starting to get hungry, so Dimitri and I went to get lunch. After lunch I spent the rest of the day shopping at American Eagle and Victoria's Secret while Dimitri and the others did their thing. Right before we left the mall around four in the afternoon I went to the bathroom to changed into one of the things I got at Victoria's Secret and the red trench coat I got at Macy's just for this purpose. I was pretty tired when we got in the car, so I fell asleep pretty much as soon as I sat down and didn't wake up until Dimitri was carrying me back to my room.
"Hey, Comrade," I said sleepily, "Can we stay in the cabin tonight?"
"Roza, you know we can't. Not until you graduate," he told me kissing my forehead.
"Please? I need to be with you that way. Trust me. If you saw what I was wearing under this we wouldn't be having this conversation," I said giving him my best man eater smile.
"You know I want to, but . . ." he trailed off looking torn between whether to do the right thing or have sex with me, which if you asked me was the right thing to do.
"No buts. Let's go put my stuff in my room then go to the cabin. Deal?" I asked hopefully.
"Alright," he said shocking me. I didn't think he'd actually give in that easily.
Thank you for reading. Want to review? (:
Okay, I had to address the fact of Rose's gaining weight, because someone asked if she was pregnant. I'm not going to say for sure if she's pregnant. I'm honestly at this point not sure if i want them to have a baby, because it's sort of a cliché for Rosie Fanictions. I will say that is not why she's gaining weight. Mainly because you don't start gaining weight until eight weeks if you're pregnant. The only reason she's gaining weight is because she's still eating the way she did before the attack when she was training, so it only make since that she would gain some weight.
It feels weird to get out of Rose's brain for a few minutes, but I had to do it. I'm also not sure if I'll update again today, because I'm at home and it's my niece's first birthday. (:
