Rose's P.O.V
"Dress slutty, he said!" I taunted while standing next to thing on and thing two. "Cops love whores!" I mocked at Aaron, repeating the words he told me not to long ago. He glared at me I didn't let him question what I was doing. I'm on a full blown rant and he'll say words when I let him. Well apparently not because Lissa interrupted me.
"They thought we were sluts." Lissa said her voice cold and hard. She blamed Aaron and her brother Andre for making a bad impression on Christian. Hell I'll be pissed to, I am really but Dimitri is a target. I have enough on my plate – dating a cop will only stack on the list.
Aaron had the nerve to give Lissa a cocky smirk. "We'll you are Liss, you and your slutty friend." I had to hold my hand back from slapping the shit out of Aaron. Andre was quiet, simply looking at our encounter with an amused smile on his face.
"I'm no whore!" She shouted at him. I smiled at her – then quickly frowned. Lissa was never 'bold' towards Aaron. She was to other people but never Aaron. It was her weak spot – a spot where daddy couldn't reach to protect her therefore she's alone. If to much back sass came from her she would be black and blue tomorrow. Before Aaron could say something back – or even hit her I grabbed her arm and dragged her towards me.
"Enough's enough Aaron. This is our mission and we'll do it OUR way. Your guidelines aren't needed – nor wanted." I said and dragged Lissa outside of the board room and went up the stairs, not saying hello to anyone and took her to my room. I locked the door behind me and put the key where it usually is.
"What are we gonna do Rose?" She asked flopping down on my bed. "I don't want to ruin this mission. If we succeed maybe then daddy will let me leave this hell hole and go to college." I wanted to tell her those are unrealistic expectations because if she succeeded then her father would want her on 'the scene' more instead of cramming for finals. Plus if all goes right our fathers won't even now about this mission.
That's my goal anyways. Our fathers are stashed in our head quarters in Romania or maybe my father was in our estate in Turkey, one larger than this. If my father knew about Natalie or at least knew the truth Aaron's annoyance will be the least of my problems. That is if I live long enough to call them 'problems'.
I flopped on the bed next to her and looked up at the ceiling. I sighed.
"We didn't ruin anything Liss, they gave us their numbers. We just wait till they call, if they don't call in two days we call them. Kay?" She nods and then gets the dreamy look in her eyes.
I never knew Lissa fell fast, her and Aaron's relationship was force. Well force is a strong word, I'll say more like it fell together. Everyone wanted Lissa and Aaron to be together – especially her father so it seemed like a great fit. Until the actual relationship started of course.
Then thinking about that I realized she isn't falling for Christian. It's more of what Christian represents – freedom. Freedom from Aaron. Freedom from life.

It's been one whole day. TWENTY-FOUR HOURS! Trust me, I've counted! The clocks in this house couldn't tick and louder. Talking about ticks…
Andre and Aaron are on full 'bitch alert' god, it's like their P. or something. Aaron even bitched out Mia the other day, she kind of deserved it since she was nagging a lot but still.
I knew it wasn't the smartest move but just to relieve my stress I asked Andre and Aaron – in front of everyone, if they needed a tampon. You know since it's that time of the month for them. I thought it was hilarious but apparently I'm the only one who shared that thought. Most people were too scared to laugh or shocked that I only pissed them off more.
They showed their distaste by putting laxatives in my pudding cup. How dare they besmirch chocolate pudding? Luckily for me I saw them do it and switched my cup with Andre's and he's currently emptying his bowels in his bathroom. Maybe there a clog up there that made him so bitchy, this might help me after all…
Me and Lissa were in the lounge area or at least one of them. There was several here and this was the only one that was cramped with people. Mia was here texting on her phone to one of her many play toys. Some other prostitutes where in here discussing blow job techniques and me and Lissa were on the couch watching Spongebob – it reminds me of a happier time.
That's when my phone vibrated. I fished it out of my pocket and I was surprised when on the screen it said.
'Russian god calling'
I felt like just putting Dimitri wouldn't do him justice. I sprang from the couch; Lissa didn't see what it said so she was confused. I quickly answered it.
"Hello." I said trying not to sound over zealous. But I so was!
"Hey, Rose it's Dimitri." His voice sounded so hot over the phone. "From the shadow-kissed."
"Yeah, I remember you." How could I forget?
"So I was thinking about you and wondered if you want to go on a date – this Saturday." That's only two days away. I nervously bit my lip.
"Okay, where do you wanna meet?" I asked.
"I'll pick you up from your ho-"
"NO! I'll meet you there." My outburst got attention from everyone in the lounge. Lissa sadly put the pieces together and figured I was talking to Dimitri and that must hurt because she didn't even get a call from Christian. Plus Andre will totally make her feel worthless about it.
"Okay, well I was thinking about going to this little bistro near the pier. It's small a quant, very private so wear something casual." Was it just me or did he stress the word 'private'? That's a good thing right? It means he wants me alone. But he also stressed the word 'casual.' I ignored that though.
"Okay what time?" I ask.
"Seven."
Dimitri's P.O.V
I hung up and looked at the smiling face of Christian.
"So is it a date?" He asks. I nod but I wasn't nearly as excited as Christian. Even though Rose is just an assignment I still feel as if I'm cheating on Tasha.
"Yeah, at the bistro near the pier." I said. Christian then looked confused.
"The pier? That's where Natalie was killed – wasn't it?" I nod.
"Indeed, maybe going over there my make her feel something, something she might tell her date." I said. Christian then smiled again.
"Smart! Very smart – I thought I'll just take Lissa to the park or something."
"You already set up the date?" I ask, since I didn't know.
"Nope, I'll call her in about two hours. I don't want to call her right after you call Rose – that'll seem weird."
"As weird as taking her to the place where she possibly murdered her friend?" I ask getting up from my chair.
"Yeah, even weirder." He said. I laughed.
"Whatever sounds right in that brain of yours, Christian." I say smiling. Then Adrian – followed by Tasha came in.
"Hey guys, find anything about Natalie yet?" Adrian asks.
"Adrian, we just met them." Christian said a bit annoyed. I was to yet I was better at hiding it. Adrian has been pestering us about this case. I believe he's to close, his sister and all being involved. Hell his sister might be closer to this case than we think but we wouldn't know since we only just got started.
"Adrian don't worry, we got this case all you have to do is look pretty." I said. He shrugged and his lips turned into a slight cocky smile.
"Yeah, well that's what I do best." Christian rolled his eyes.
"Whatever Christian – don't be upset that you don't look as handsome as me." Christian huffed at this before leaving.
"So Adrian, what do you want?" I asked.
"I actually came to bug you about the case but since you don't know anything – I'll be leaving." He said and then walked out the door.
Then I looked at Tasha.
"Aren't you gonna ask me what I want?" She asked with a seductive voice while strutting over to me. Her tucked in white blouse had the top buttons unbuttoned showing off her cleavage and a little bit of her white lacey bra.
"I think I have a few theories." I said wrapping my arms around her skinny waist bringing her closer. I leant down to kiss her – and more.
A/N – Sorry for the delay, I was just so busy with school! It wouldn't be so bad if I worked with non-ignorant people. But they're just so hard to find these days…sigh.
