Chapter Four
Heres the next chapter I got a little carried away but I hope you like r&r!
P.O.V: Rose
I Can't believe that Dimitri caught me dancing it is so embarrassing but he seemed not to mind so I'm not that worried about it. After we did training I went to class which is where I am now. Zoning out on one of Stan's lectures on whatever he's talking about. I really don't care I just can't stop thinking about Dimitri. I love him so much and I just want to be with him all of the time but I know that I can't (frownie face).
I did do something for him, though. He thinks that his mother was his surprise and she was part of it but I also arranged for the rest of his family to come to day. Olena just wanted to come a day early and I had no problem with that. They're supposed to be landing a little bit after our afternoon practice ends so that will be fun.
I can't wait to see his face when he sees them. I didn't get to see his face when Olena came in but I have a feeling this one will be better anyway.
After school was over I went to gym for our afternoon practice. Dimitri was sitting on the matts reading a western with his headphones on. He looked so content I didn't want to disturb him but right then he looked up at me.
"Why are you just standing there?" he asked.
I smiled at him, "You just looked so happy in your own world I didn't want to be the one to take you out of that." I said.
He go up and walked towards me wrapping his arms around my waist he said, "you can interrupt my reading anytime. I'm much happier with you."
"awwwww. Your going soft on me." I teased him than reached up and gave his what was supposed to be a sweet short kiss but soon it deepened into something deep and passionate. We only broke apart when we heard someone say, "Ew, I think I could of gone my whole life without seeing my brother make out with someone."
I broke away from Dimitri and sun around quickly to be faced with who I assume is Dimitri's family. There was an old lady shooting daggers at me, a girl who looked about my age with a disgusted look on her face. She looked like the female version of Dimitri. Two other woman one pregnant and one not and one little boy with one little girl. Olena was standing in the middle of them all.
"Vika!" Dimitri said in pure glee. One of his rare full on smiles that I love so much. He ran up to her and engulfed her in a hug.
"I missed you to, Dimka," she said hugging him back he let her and turned to the rest of his family. He specifically looked at the little boy.
"Is this Paul?" He asked. One of the woman nodded and Dimitri's simle widened if that was even possible. He pick the little boy up and hugged him.
"Look at you boy you are so big!" He exclaimed.
"Uncle Dimka?" He asked. Dimitri just nodded than Paul hugged Dimitri back eagerly. Similar greetings went all around the family hugs all around some of the women shed tears and a lot of rapid Russian that I didn't even begin to understand. I stood back waiting the exchange happy that I had a part in this reunion.
After a while Olena spoke up, "Dimka, are you going to introduce Roza are just let her stand there while you rudely talk with all of us and not her?" She said very motherly.
Dimitri turned around with an apologetic look on his face. He was about to say something but I cut him off, "I'm fine, really." I said waving it off.
"No, Roza, she's right I was being rude," Dimitri said walking towards me. When he reached me he wrapped one arm around my waist and turned to his family, "Everybody this is my Roza." He said proudly and let me tell you my heart jumped when he said I was his Roza. Every one of them looked me over than the one that Dimitri called Vika, who I am assuming is his youngest sister Viktoria, looked like a light bulb went off in her head. "Wait you the Roza that arranged for us to come here?" She asked hesitantly. Dimitri looked at me dumbfounded. I guess he thinks I only arranged for his mom to come.
I just ignored him and said, "In the flesh." In full on Rose Hathaway bravado. Than all of a sudden she was charging at me and engulfing me in a bone crushing hug. I was very surprised I didn't expect this but none the less I gently wrapped by arms around her halfway still not letting go and letting out a , "Oh okay then." This made Dimitri laugh. I broke away from the hug and glared at him which shut him up.
Everyone else hugged me except for Yeva who was just shooting me daggers the whole time. After a while Olena decided to speak up again but it was in Russian so I didn't understand it, but she seemed to be scolding her mother about something. Everyone listened intently for a while than Dimitri decided to join in and he looked pissed. His fists and jaw were clenched and he was speaking through his teeth in a hard voice.
I gently placed one hand on one of his fist and the other on his cheek in attempt to calm him down. It only worked a little bit.
P.O.V: Dimitri
Everyone was talking to Roza and hugging her animatedly. Everyone except for babushka. Oh no I thought that she would like Roza but she is just staring daggers into her. After a while Mama decided to stop her.
This whole conversation is in Russian
"Mama! Stop staring at her like she's the devil and say hi to her." Mama scolded.
Babushka shifted her glare from Roza to Mama, "I don't want to say hello to her! As far as I know she could be the devil!"
"Don't say that! She brought all of us here just for Dimka and look how happy he is with her!"
"I don't like her look at the way she is dressed" she gestured towards Rose. She was wearing short shorts and a tight fitted tank top for training. "She might as well not be wearing any clothes!"
"She's been doing training. That is no excuse for the way you are acting."
"Look at her she's a whore!" Babushka exclaimed and I snapped. How dare she talk about my Roza like that! Yes she is my grandmother and overprotective but I have never heard her call someone a whore and I am defiantly not going to let her call Roza one.
"Don't you dare call her that!" I boomed. Everyone turned to me. Roza stiffened out of fear and surprise but then she placed her hand on my hand and jaw that I hadn't realized I had clenched. I turned towards her and she was looking up at me with those big brown pools that are her eyes and I immediately relaxed. I turned back to my babushka much calmer now and spoke to her in a much more civil tone.
Still talking in Russian I said, "She is not a whore, the way she dresses might be a little revealing but she is NOT a whore."
Mama nodded and Babushka scoffed, "A little revealing? Look at her Dimka how can you be with someone like that." Instinctively my arms went around Rose protectively. I know that I don't have to protect her from my family and that she can't understand what we are saying but whenever someone talks about her like this it hurts her. She tries to hide it and brush it off like it's some kind of joke but I know better that it really does hurt her. She wraps her arms around my waist and rests her head on my chest I can tell that she is upset that she doesn't understand what is being said but it is better that she doesn't.
"I'm with her because she is beautiful, smart, brave, giving, selfless, everything that I have ever wanted in a woman and so much more. I love her." I said stroking her hair. I hardened my voice to get my point across on the next part. "And you of all people should know how wrong those assumptions can be."
"That girl has not gone through the kind of accusations and assumptions that I have" she spat out.
"Actually, Babushka she has. When she was away from the academy she let the princess feed off of her because there was no one else to feed off of. Somehow when she got back some of the other students found out and some of the male students decided that they would spread rumors that she had sex with them and let them drink from her. She has faced the exact same accusations as you and more."
While I was saying this people from my family were gasping at different parts and slowly Babushka's face was morphing into one of remorse and apologetics. She turned to Roza and switched back to English.
"I am sorry Rose." She said
"Um…. For what?" Rose said confused.
"I made wrong assumptions about you without getting to know you and for that I am sorry."
"Um it's okay I guess." Rose said
"Okay well now that that shit storm is over how about we go find our rooms and let Roza and Dimka finish their training session." Sonya said and I was a little relieved honestly. I didn't want any more drama with babushka and I wanted some alone time with Roza. Everyone said their goodbyes and left to go find guest housing.
"So what was that about?" Roza asked while we were doing our stretches. We couldn't really get a whole lot of practice in with the little amount of time that we had left so we just decided to spar.
"Babushka doesn't like you a whole lot but she will once she gets to know you," I said honestly no matter how hard I tried I couldn't lie to her.
"Why doesn't she like me?" she asked.
"She's just over protective of me that's all." I said.
Roza gave me a 'I know you're not telling me the whole truth' look but dropped it.
After we finished sparing and doing our warm down stretches I gave roza a kiss and told he I would meet her in her dorm room after curfew.
So there's this little box right underneath this where you can tell me what you think. It would make you be really cool if you used it.
Don't be square use the square. HaHa just thought of that.
