Dimitri's POV
My cell phone ringing brought me out from a rather strange, but wonderful dream I was having. I could not make myself pick it up though as my thoughts remained on said dream. It was actually quite a horrifying dream. Maybe it wouldn't be for some but for me, it was my own personal worst nightmare.
In this dream I was happy. I was playing with a small child that had a striking resemblance to Roza. But as I picked up the little girl I referred to as my princess I noticed she also looked a lot like me. In the dream I was happy about this fact. I was happy and knew the little girl was mine, mine and Rose's. My dream morphed into a family dinner where Roza sat next to me her belly swollen with our second child.
The rings on our fingers did not escape my wondering eyes. In this dream Roza and I were married. Had children. And were happy. Odd that I found that thought terrifying. I mean that is what people wanted in life. That kind of happiness that came from doing things that people expected you too.
It wasn't so much the thought of being with her romantically that scared me. No it was the children part. How could someone like me ever be a father. I was no role model. If anything I was certain that children weren't for me. But then again the thought of being with Roza had been unappealing as well. And I was getting older, how much longer could I put off a life, a normal life.
The night before had been a slight eye opener for me though. I really liked her company. I liked talking to her, listening to what she had to say. She made me feel like a different man. A man that could some day be normal. We still had sex, all the time. But in a way it felt like something more.
My phone dinged with a voice message but before I could reach to listen to it, it started ringing again. With an annoyed attitude I went to pick it up and stopped when I noticed her name flashing on the screen. What got me was the fact that it was about 2 in the morning. I decided to let it ring through. I mean what could she possibly have to say to me at this time.
But when it started to ring again I knew I had to pick it up. Something was either really wrong, or she was far beyond horny. And I had long learned I was having a hard time saying no to Roza. My Roza Baby.
"Rose this better be go-" She cut me off her voice coming in pants.
"Shut up Dimitri I need you to come down to South St. I think I found your driver." I knew exactly what driver she was talking about. There was only one we had been searching for. One that had seemed to evade us for almost a month.
"Give me a few and I'll be there." There was no way I was missing this arrest. My sister was still in a coma. And she was actually becoming worse. I needed to see this man go down.
I sped through stop signs and stop lights. My need to be there was throbbing inside of me. Rose had narrowed down the driver to be a young man with a mile long record. She was not 100 percent certain, all that was missing was the car he had used. Something told me she had just located it, and him all in one swoop. God she was so fucking good at what she did.
I parked my car a few houses down from the address she gave me and walked over to her car that was parked in the shadows. I knocked on the window and heard her unlock the door. I stepped in sitting down. My eyes trailing over her small and tired frame.
There were coffee cups on the car floor, something she never did. It seemed as though Roza had been here for some time. It did make me feel good knowing she had taken this case very seriously. Sonya meant a lot to me. And it warmed me in a way I had never felt before to know Rose was so willing to solve this case for me.
"Eddie said he left about an hour ago from a friends house. He should be here soon. When he gets here I'll arrest him." Her eyes finally met mine and a small smile flashed on her lips. I really really loved that smile of hers.
I couldn't help it I leaned over the center console kissing those plump cupid bow lips.
Rose's POV
Dimitri really did know to drive me crazy. That and confuse the fuck out of me. His kiss caught me by surprise, but I was not going to complain. He had been kissing me lately for no reason. And he had even let me sneak in a few kisses myself.
I had been having strange dreams that revolved around him, and a future I never knew I urned for. It was scary and wonderful all at the same time. It was all so new for me. How someone like him could come into my life and throw my world off its axis. But for some reason I was letting it happen and willingly.
I think we were making progress without even trying. Maybe his mother had been right. We were needing each other. For what I wasn't still sure. Maybe to make us more like normal people. Maybe it was to show us that we could feel. Whatever it was I knew it was working, I didn't know how, but I knew it was happening.
"What was that for?" He had pulled away slightly but was still close enough for me to feel his breath against my lips.
"It's a thank you baby. For being as amazing as you are." He smirked at me and my heart dropped. I felt like such a schoolgirl I loved when he called me baby. It sent a chill through me.
"No problem Comrade. I'm just here to help." He nodded his head and pulled away resting his head back on my seat, his eyes closing as a soft sigh left his lips.
"Maybe I should have let you sleep." He opened his eyes looking my way.
"No I'm glad you called, I want to be here. I need to see this mother fucker arrested." All I could do was nod in agreement. I knew how much it was bothering him that this man was still on the loose.
We sat there in silence. It was nice just having him around. If anything Dimitri was the one and only person I could truly call a friend. I had never really hung out with anyone, or talked to anyone. I had always kept to myself. Only putting on a show when daddy and mommy needed me around to show my face.
The only times I went out and was social was when I was letting my sex vixen out. It was fun and thrilling, but like I said before I was never very forth coming with information about myself. All I wanted was sex, not to get to know the man I was having sex with.
With Dimitri I had started opening up. He would listen, give me advice. And in return I would do the same for him. It was like something was happening that neither of us could stop. Hell, I had even started being nice to the agents I had control of. They all seemed happy about it, but they never said anything about it.
I was starting to see and feel changes in myself. And I liked them. When I was around him, I felt like a real person. Don't get me wrong I still craved and wanted sex, but when he was around it seemed like I could control my needs. We still had sex nearly daily, but it had become more than that. We started talking again after the incident in the parking garage.
Hell we had even been cuddling after our intense sessions. As stated before we were even kissing more often. Just the night before we had spent an hour straight just making out on his couch. I mean after it we had sex all over his apartment, but we had still made out, for that long. It was all so new and exhilarating for me. And I had also found out it was new for him. It had brought a whole new level to our relationship, if I could call it that.
I was brought out of my thoughts when Dimitri grabbed my hand, lacing our fingers together.
"I-I was you know wondering something." I looked over at him, caught off guard by his slightly unsure tone.
"Yea anything." I smiled at him and was rewarded with a smile back.
"You know how you mentioned before making this somewhat known. So people would not ask questions when and if they noticed?" I furrowed my brows together and took him in. Of course I remembered he had denied the hell out of me, though the sex afterwards had more than made up for it.
"Yes." My voice was flat. I was being cautious I had no idea what he was getting at.
"Well, how about you and I go on like a date or something?" I met his chocolate brown eyes, watching as some of his long locks covered his face, framing it perfectly. His eyes seemed sincere.
"Ummm, that would be-" My radio went off just then. Mason's voice ringing through.
"Ashford to Hathaway. ETA 60 seconds." The moment was ruined as I pulled away grabbing my gun. Dimitri caught on and we both got out of the car.
I hid behind a tree as Dimitri stood near by. He knew better than to get in the way. A car pulled into the quiet neighborhood and parked in front of the house I had been surveilling. Out stepped out the man I had been waiting for. A poof of smoke following him out of the car. He stumbled slightly and I heard Dimitri growl.
I moved forward and Dimitri stayed behind though he looked like he wanted to do anything but stand by. I walked across the street, the driver who I now knew was Jesse Zelkos completely unaware of me storming towards him.
"Freeze." His back stiffened and he turned around.
"What. Pretty girl want some?" His words were slurred as he continued to step closer to me.
"I said freeze." My voice was harsh, but he did not seem to care or notice.
He took another step closer and then everything happened in a flash. Before I could react he lunged towards me. In the darkness I lost sight of him for a second but that was enough. He had pulled out a gun and was aiming it straight at me.
I knew I had to get him to calm down. Mason and Eddie weren't here in the neighborhood. They were waiting for me on the next street over. They would only head over if five minutes had gone by, and I had not radioed them. And I was certain the time elapsed had not been five minutes.
"I'll kill you little girl." He took another step towards me his finger applying pressure on the trigger. I looked for my opening but was startled when a gun went off twice and it was not mine.
I heard two more gun shots, but was too stunned to move. Actually as my gun fell to the ground I knew what had happened. I had been shot. And as soon as the thought passed through my mind my body followed my gun, landing roughly on the cold pavement.
Dimitri's POV
As Rose rushed across the street I focused on how sexy and sly she looked as she did this. The woman was an amazing agent, and after looking more into her file I had been able to see all the great work she had done. She had found missing children that had been kidnapped years prior and returned them to their rightful homes. She had also solved some notorious murder cases. All in all the woman was great at her job.
Seeing her falter was the most frightening thing I had ever witness. As soon as the man pulled the gun on her I had pulled out my own and was running towards them. Before I could aim and shoot him his gun went off. I quickly aimed mine at him shooting two shots making sure to get him out of commission, but not dead. As much as I wanted to kill him, I wanted this man to pay.
I kicked his gun away as he thrashed in pain. But I had no time to worry or care. Roza was now my main concern. I dropped down next to her, trying to find where her injury was. There seemed to be blood everywhere. Her breaths were coming out choppy.
"Roza, baby hey open your eyes." Her eyes shot open and she smiled up at me.
I felt around her and found where the bullet had entered her. It was so close to her heart. Maybe it was her heart. The second bullet seemed to have gone through her stomach. God she was losing so much blood. Panic surged through me as I applied pressure and her eyes closed again. I had to keep her talking to me. In the distance I heard sirens, she just had to hang on until they got here and could help her.
"Roza please look at me." Her eyes snapped open again but this time I knew she was barely there with me.
"Dim-." She tried to talk to me but started coughing violently. I shushed her quiet, wanting her to save all her energy.
"Baby please just stay with me. Everything is going to be ok." She coughed again, this time blood splurging out and covering her lips. Her eyes fluttered closed again, and I feared they would not open again.
"Roza please look at me." Nothing happened. "ROZA!" I tried not to move her too much but her breathing was slowing down.
"Let us get to her sir." I was being pulled away from her, but the last thing I wanted to do was leave her side. I needed her, just like she needed me.
"Belikov they need to help her." Eddie's calm words soothed me as I stood up so they could help my Roza.
She looked so pale, so broken. How could she look like that when just moments before she was looking so strong and confident? And why did I feel like if I lost her I would lose myself. Had I really gotten so attached to this woman?
"Lets go to the hospital." I had not even noticed that the ambulance had sped away. I let Eddie and Mason guide me to their car.
I sat in silence as they drove to the hospital. I was left to my own thoughts. Thoughts that were confusing but made perfect sense. I panicked because I cared about her. Roza had come into my life, and without me knowing the ice around my heart had been melting. I had finally let someone in, and life being as cruel as it was, was going to take her away from me.
Yep I just did that... I mean seriously I could not just leave it without twisting this plot even more... So what did you think? Will she live? If she does will Dimitri tell her how he feels? Or will Rose say something? Anyways let me know what you think. Thank you all for the follows, favorites and reviews... You are all amazing!
