Thanks for the reviews, and the guesses as to how they'll all end up together again.
I'm sorry this is short but I'll try and have the next one up ASAP. I just felt like I had to leave the story there and do the net chapter from Rose's P.O.V.
I hope you enjoy this, please R&R. (Even Anon's can review!)
"That movie was awesome," I lied, as we left the cinema holding hands. Although I wasn't really into Toy Story I had enjoyed the date. First off we had gone to McDonalds, not so romantic but it's cheap, and Viktor bought me a Big Mac meal with extra pickles. After we were full up on junk, my favourite food, I had paid for a huge popcorn and we sat at the very back to watch the movie.
Now he was walking me to his place to meet his parents.
Yeah, I was freaked out!
"It's okay, Christa. She'll like you. Plus, my uncle is over so you'll get to meet him!"
"So, I have to meet your parents and your uncle? Hang on, isn't your Dad home?"
"I've never met my Dad. He left my Mum before I was born. She never talks about it. But she still gave me his last name. "
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I've never met my Dad either. Except I have my Mum's last name, not my Dad's… Is your Mum nice?"
"It'll be fine Christa, she's awesome," he saw me shivering
and, just like dates on movies, took off his coat and wrapped it around my shoulders.
"That was stupid. Now, you'll be cold."
"I'm not cold. And at least now I can show off my guns," he laughed. What a typical guy. But, he really was quite muscular, and tall for that matter. He was also very tanned. I wondered what he'd see in me, I mean, I was small in every way possible and I was very pale. I guess my blonde hair held some appeal but there were plenty of other blondes at our school he could go for…
"Um, thanks. For everything tonight. I really do hope your Mum and uncle like me."
His house was small and cottage-like but it was gorgeous all the same. Vines grew along the fence and up the sides of the house in beautiful spirals.
"It's not much, but…"
"It's beautiful," I admitted.
Trees lined the sides of the house and there was a huge variety of flowers in the garden beds near the door.
Viktor knocked on the door and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"You'll be fine," he whispered.
"I'm glad one of us is confident."
The door opened to reveal a beautiful woman who looked just like Viktor, only a girl. She had black hair that fell to her waist and her skin was lightly tanned.
"Oh, hi! You must be Christa. Come on in," she beckoned.
The inside of the house was even more amazing than the outside. There were wooden floor boards that didn't squeak under my feet and creamy colours lining the walls.
"My name's Viktoria," she smiled, shaking my hand.
"Hi."
"Viktor's told me all about his little crush on you. I was so thrilled when he, finally, asked you out."
"Mum," Viktor whined, looking embarrassed.
"Little crush?" I asked, with a smile.
"I guess, I've liked you for a while…"
"For a while!" Viktoria interrupted, "Honey, he's had a crush on you since he first saw you in elementary school. It took him ages to actually act on it."
I laughed and looked up at him.
"Hey, Mum. Where's Uncle Dimitri?"
"He's in the living room, reading. Isn't that a surprise?" she rolled her eyes.
"Come on, Christa. Meet my uncle."
He led me to the living room where a rather handsome, okay, hot, man was sitting on the couch holding a book with the title 'A man and his horse'. Very original.
"Uncle Dimka? This is my girlfriend, Christa."
"Hello," he smiled at me.
"Would you excuse me for a moment, I have to call my Aunty and have her pick me up. My Mum's working tonight."
"Okay."
I walked into the hallway and grabbed out my cell phone.
"Hello, Rose Hathaway speaking," Aunty Rose answered.
"Hey Aunty Rose. Have you ever heard of Caller I.D?"
"Shut up," she laughed, "What do you need?"
"Could you pick me up from my boyfriend's place in about half an hour?"
"Where?"
I gave her the directions to his house and she told me she'd see me in twenty minutes.
"So…" I said as I walked into the living room, "My Aunty will be here in twenty minutes to pick me up."
"Great! Do you want to sit down? I'm putting on a movie."
"What movie?"
"Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Are you interested?"
"Oh yeah!" I cried, I sat down next to him on the couch and began watching my all time favourite movie.
The doorbell rang and I heard Viktoria introducing herself to Rose.
"Why don't you some into the living room?" I heard Viktoria ask.
Rose walked in and stopped in her tracks, "Dimitri?" she asked.
Dimitri looked up from his book and is eyes widened, "Rose?"
"Um… Do you know each other?" Viktoria asked.
"Yeah, we go a while back," Rose answered, "Dimitri, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure," he answered, "I'll show you to my room."
