The next day when I woke up, I went to see Mason. I hadn't seen him in like 2 days. I honestly missed him. And that's surprising.

"Hey Mase." I said walking up to him.

"Hey Rose! I haven't seen you in forever!" he came up and gave me a HUGE hug.

I laughed at him. His face was just so funny. You could tell in his eyes that he really was crazy about me.

"Come on! I have to show you something!" he practically yelled in my ear.

He pulled me along with him and I was confused when he told me to put my swimming suit on. I did and walked out of my room where Mason was waiting for me. He stared at me and emitted a low whistle. I smiled at him.

"Rose your even better than my imagination." He said. I laughed at him again.

"Well thank you. So what are we doing?" I asked curious.

"You have to wait and see. Come on."

He grabbed my hand and pulled me along until we reached Christian's room. I was confused until I remembered that Lissa slept here and stayed here a lot. Mason knocked on the door and Lissa and Christian both came out in their swimming suits. Christian without a shirt? Not so hot. Mason had a nice body but it wasn't gorgeously sexy or anything.

"Hey. So now can you tell me what were doing?" I asked smiling.

Lissa and Christian looked confused too. "You mean you don't know what were doing either?" Lissa asked. I shook my head and Mason just smiled and took my hand. He led us down to the 2nd floor and down a hallway until we came to a set of double doors.

"You guys ready?" he asked smiling. We nodded our heads and he opened the doors.

There was a patio with a HUGE pool in the middle of it. I'm talking about a massive swimming pool. There were chairs all around. And, my god, you're not going to believe this, a bar with a bartender and everything. This place was awesome!

Christian went and did and a cannonball into the pool. We all laughed at his hair flying up and making it look like a funny sort of afro.

"Holy shit! It's hot!" Christian yelled. No freaking way. This whole thing was a Jacuzzi? Oh my god. That made me want to get in the pool a whole lot faster. I walked down the stairs into the giant hot tub and noticed there were little rows to sit on all the way around that I hadn't seen before.

"Mason, this place is amazing!" I told him smiling. He blushed and smiled back.

"I found it when I was snooping around one night." He laughed. "So is th-"

He was cut off when Adrian Ivashkov entered the area. He smiled at me and jumped in.

I smiled back and laughed as the water sprayed up on us.

"What's up guys?" he said as he emerged and came over to give me a hug. I barely caught Mason's expression when he saw Adrian hug me. He did not look happy.

"Hey, what's up Adrian?" I asked, smiling at him.

"How did you guys find this?" he asked.

"Oh, Mason found it and brought us all here." I replied.

Adrian didn't look too happy about this. He honestly looked pretty mad. I wonder why? I gave him a funny look and he just shook his head at me and looked away.

"Uh, hey. Adrian, come to the bar with me. I want to know what you think is best to get." I told him.

"Do you really need me to figure out what to drink?" he asked, sarcastically.

"Yes. I really do." I said, grinding my teeth together. I pulled him with me out of the water and dragged him over to the bar.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing." He said and just kept looking down.

"Adrian, what is the matter? If you don't tell me, I swear to god I will beat the shit out of you." I told him, frustrated.

He nodded and said, "I don't like you being with Mason. I don't like how he looks at you and acts like you're his and you cant be with anybody else." He finished in a rush.

"Look, I like Mason as a friend. He thinks of me differently," I looked down. "I thought me and you were going to try being friends. But I don't think it's going to work if you're always worried about Mason." I looked back up and he was staring at me.

"Rose, are you seriously trying to tell me that you don't like him?" he asked.

"Yes, Adrian. I am." I said, tired of this game. "And why don't you ever call me little dhampir anymore?" I asked, pretending to pout.

He chuckled and asked,"You like me calling you that?" I nodded and he said "Wow, Rose Hathaway likes a nickname that Adrian Ivashkov gives her." I smiled and pulled him to the pool again.

When we got back to the pool, I dropped Adrian's hand but Mason still glared at him. Ugh. Guys.

We sat in the hot tub for a little longer before it got dark and we all know the dangers of being with Moroi in the dark.

We went inside and I told Mason I would come over to his room later. He nodded and got this stupid silly grin on his face.

I went to my room, took a shower, and pulled on jeans and a black tank top. I managed to get to Mason's room unseen. When I got inside, Mason hopped up from the bed, caught me in his arms and crushed his lips on mine. This was so not supposed to happen.

I pulled away and said, "Mason, we need to talk." He immediately caught on that I wasn't here for sex and he sighed.

"I knew it was too good to be true." He said.

"Mase, what are you talking about?"

"I knew you wouldn't like me that. I knew you would eventually get tired of me and find somebody better. I just hate that that person is Adrian freaking Ivashkov." He explained.

"Mason, I'm not with Adrian. I'm not with anyone. That's why I'm here. You know we aren't dating right?" I asked.

"Yeah I know. I was just hoping that you would be one day so I started acting all jealous and protective so you would know that."

"Alright, look Mase. I'm really sorry about this but you can't go around acting like were together when were not. And I'm not trying to hurt your feelings or anything, but I do like Adrian. We have decided to stay friends until we know each other better. And I think that's what we should do too." I finished. He really didn't look happy about this. But oh well. If Adrian can deal with it, then so can he.

I left his room and went to mine. I plopped down on the bed and fell asleep in my clothes.

I dreamed of Adrian Ivashkov that night.
