AN: YAY! I finally got a DPOV in there! Some of you guys wanted one, so happy early Christmas to those of you who wanted one! Any one got any ideas I can use? Hmm? Please tell me, I know where I want to go, but don't know how to get there! If you give me an idea, and I use it, or plan to use it, I will mention you in the next chapter!
Chapter 4: The Family
RPOV:
I hold his hand in a death grip. When he goes to ring knock on the door, I hold it even tighter.
A woman opens the door, and looks at us surprised. "Dimitri?" she says questioningly.
"Hey, Mom." He says, and then introduces me. "Mother, this is my fiancée, Rosemarie Hathaway." He says proudly.
"Fiancée? You never even told us you were dating anyone!" his mother scolded him.
Of course, this only served to confirm my fears that they wouldn't like me.
But then she surprised me by pulling me into a hug.
"Congratulations!" Olena tells both of us after the hug. Then another person walks to the door, but is still around the corner, asking, "Mom! Who's at the door?"
Dimitri smiled, and says, "Hey, Karolina." He says it softly, but she comes running, along with a cute little boy, who must be Paul. "Dimka! Where have you been?" she says as she rounds the corner, but stops dead in her tracks when she sees me.
Before she can ask anything, I hear another voice coming from the stairs. "Did I hear someone say Dimka?" the voice asks.
"Yes, Sonya, you did." He says loudly. This sister takes a little longer to come down, but she comes with another girl, who I assume is Viktoria.
They both start asking questions at the same time. Things like: how are you, where have you been, stuff like that.
But then they see Olena smiling, while Karolina is just recovering from seeing me, and starting to smile also. They look to Dimitri and me, and see me holding Dimitri's hand.
Right now, I'm confused as to whether coming here was a mistake, but right then, everyone pulls me into the living room, and starts to ask me questions.
Olena calms everyone down after a few minutes of me tying to answer everyone's questions at once.
"All right, guys. One at a time. Viktoria, you start." I shoot Olena a grateful look.
"So, how did you two meet?"
"Dimitri was leading the group that took me and Lissa Dragomir back to the academy after we ran away."
"Roza has always been dedicated to her job. She even tried to fight of all 12 guardians just to keep the Princess safe." Dimitri says lovingly.
"How did that turn into this?" Sonya asks.
"Well, it wasn't until I had trained with Dimitri that I got to know him. Then, it really didn't take much."
"I knew from the minute I saw her that we would be at least friends, hopefully more then that." Dimitri says, then kisses me sweetly.
"So it was kind of like love at first sight for you then, Dimitri." Viktoria interjects.
"Yes, it was." He agrees, smiling at me.
"Well, Roza, how was training with my brother? Before you fell in love, of course. He can be pretty strict." Karolina wonders.
"At first, he beat me up pretty bad, since I never practiced when I wasn't in school. But then I got tougher, and I started being a kick-ass guardian." Dimitri laughingly scolds me for my use of language.
It continues on like that for some time, until Olena calls us in for dinner. Up until that moment, I hadn't realized she had left.
She had made something American for me, while using some Russian ingredients like delicious black bread instead of buns for the hamburgers. All throughout dinner, I talked to everyone about every thing.
Halfway through dinner, another person comes in. She is elderly, and looks a bit like Dimitri's mother. Dimitri sees her, and brightens.
She says something in Russian to Dimitri, and he replies in Russian. All I recognize is my name, so I assume she asked about me, and he introduced me.
They talk for a few more minutes, until he leans over to me, and says, "That's my grandmother, Yeva. She was wasn't surprised to see you, because, she has visions, and one was about me coming over with you."
"That explains it." I say, since I was wondering why she wasn't surprised, when everyone else was. "If she knew, why didn't she tell everyone else?"
"Apparently, she had the vision this afternoon, when we had already been here for a little while."
"Oh." I say, still unclear as to what exactly these visions are all about, but not asking.
After dinner, Viktoria asks me to spar with her tomorrow.
"Sure. Well, maybe not tomorrow, since I need to get used to the time difference. I want to be awake because I don't know what to expect from you."
"I wont be as good as you, since I didn't get trained by my brother."
"I'm sure you can hold your own in a fight." Just then, I yawn. I lean over onto Dimitri's chest. By this time, I've been up for almost a whole day. "You need to go to bed." Dimitri says, worrying as always.
"I'm fine." I say, but Dimitri just pulls me up and walks up to his old room with my hand in his. I don't realize how tired I am until I'm actually walking up the stairs.
I turn around, and say goodnight to everybody. Then Dimitri leads me into his old room, since Viktoria said it was fine we stay there, even though that means she has to share with Paul.
When we get to the room, I collapse on the bed. I fall asleep almost as soon as I lay down. Dimitri strips me down to my underwear and bra, then lies down and pulls the covers over the both of us.
After I've been asleep for a little while, I feel the familiar pull of a spirit dream. I look around, and see that we're on a beach. I'm wearing a see through white halter cover-up over a light blue bikini.
"Hey, Adrian. Why dress me up like this?" I call out, since he's hiding like he always is.
He come out from behind a sand dune. "I like to see you in skimpy outfits. You know that."
"Yeah, I guess so. Why are you here? I need to sleep."
"How many times do I have to tell you? You are sleeping. And as for why I'm here, I wanted to see how you were doing. Lissa told me you were worried about the cradle-robber's family not liking you."
"Don't call him that! Actually, Adrian, they love me. I shouldn't have been worried about that."
"Really. That's… great." He says like he was hoping for a different answer.
"Adrian. You know that even if they didn't like me, I wouldn't abandon Dimitri. I like you, but only as a friend."
"I know. I just couldn't help but hope. Anyway, I have some news."
"What's the news?" I ask excitedly.
"You'll see." He says mysteriously. Then the dream world starts to get blurry. "You're waking up now." He says regretfully.
"I guess I'll see you soon. Goodbye." I say, then I wake up. I look around, and see that it is only 4:30. "God, my sleep schedule is all messed up." I mutter to myself. I reach over to cuddle with Dimitri, but see that he is gone.
Just then, a shirtless Dimitri walks in the door. I stare at his perfect chest. He stands there for a few minutes, looking at me also. It is then that I realize that all I'm wearing is a bra and a pair of underwear. "See something you like, Comrade?"
"Oh, Roza." He sighs and comes over to the bed, sitting next to me.
"So how long have you been awake?"
"For awhile. My sleep schedule is all messed up, so I couldn't sleep all that much. You were tired, so I didn't want to wake you."
"You know, if you woke me up, I wouldn't mind that much." I say seductively.
"Not right now, Roza." He warns. I pout.
"Come on." I beg. "Why not?"
"Because, we are in my family's house, and it's the middle of the night here. I'm sure they wouldn't appreciate being woken up to us."
"Come on Comrade. We can be quiet. And it's a way to pass the time. Besides, we did it at the academy." I try.
"It's not going to happen."
"You know you can't say no to me."
"Yes I can. I just don't want to disappoint you."
"The only way you can disappoint me is to not love me." I say.
"All right." He kisses me passionately. I kiss him back forcefully. He trails kisses all down my body. The rest of the clothes come off, and we come together as one.
AN: Sorry it took so long, and is so short! I had written a lot more, but it would be way to long. Anyways… if you read my other story, I'm not gonna update that as much. Only when I don't feel like writing this one. Sorry if I'm disappointing you guys! Never mind about the test. I'm through with it. It was too much of a hassle.
