Let me know if you want a chapter, or a flashback with Dimitri and Abe's conversation about marriage. Also, thanks for everyone who followed/favorited this story. It means a lot to me. And thank you for the amazing reviews. I hope I'll get more.

Dimitri POV

I know Rose was mad at me and she had all the rights. I have been distant. It's not because I needed space or anything, I was just so nervous about proposing that every touch made me think of all the wrong things and the reasons she would say no. I got her father's blessing. When I first told him he had an impassive face that I thought he might hit me in the middle of the restaurant. But then he laughed and threatened my life if I ever make Rose unhappy. Hopefully, that will never happen.

For the moment, everything is good. I made up for my distance last night, first on the couch, then in the bedroom and of course, we had to take a shower after. I also made breakfast in bed. Yes, I look like I'm trying to pacify the tiger. Maybe I am. I don't want her to be upset and then reject my proposal. But I was hurt that she thought I would cheat on her. It broke my heart in a million pieces when I saw the look in her eyes: hope that I've never cheated, hurt because I was being cold, love that she held only for me.

Tomorrow was the big day. Our anniversary. The day I am going to ask her to marry me. I planned to go to the restaurant where we had our first date. It was a nice and fancy one in the expensive part of the Court. Lissa said that she wants to pay for everything. When I complained she told me to take it as an early engagement present (she is convinced that Rose will say yes). It's needless to say that you can't win an argument with Lissa.

I told Rose to get a day off tomorrow and get ready for our anniversary date in the evening. Little did she know what she is going to see there.

Christian POV

Dimitri and I have gotten very close since he has been my guardian. He is the best friend I've never had and I can tell I am really close to what Ivan was for him. I'm glad that we both have some male time, to discuss about things we can't talk about with our girlfriends (mostly because they are the subjects we talk about). He told me about his plans to propose, I helped him choose a ring (meaning I just went with him to the store) and helped him make arrangements. Right now I'm sitting with Lissa on the couch, watching TV. Her head is resting on my chest and I can breathe the smell of her shampoo. Fruits. I love it. I love Lissa so much and after the whole Rose and Dimitri engagement thing I started thinking about marriage myself. She knows about Dimitri's plans so I could talk easily about that.

"Hey Liss" I started.

"Hmmm?" she hummed, not taking her head off my chest. She sounded sleepy and I wondered is she was falling asleep and I just woke her up.

"Do you think she'll say yes?" I wondered "Rose" I clarified to make her understand what I was talking about.

She was quiet for a moment. "Oh yes, definetly. I know how much Rose loves him. But this week she was so upset thinking he was cheating. If only she knew the true reasons why he was being so quiet." she laughed softly. "I wanted to tell her that Dimitri was just nervous that she might refuse, but I couldn't. I could only reassure her by saying how much he loves her. I just wish to finish all this so I don't feel guilty about having secrets" she sighed

"Not to be mean or anything, but you shouldn't feel guilty at all. She should still feel guilty for keeping her relation a secret from you for that long" I said that jokingly but she took it serious.

"Hey, she had her reasons. I'm not even angry about that anymore"

"I know, I know. I was trying to make that as a joke. I'm sorry. You know I don't have a big sense of humor" I kissed her softly to prove how sorry I am. When she kissed me back I knew she wasn't mad.

"Is it too soon to start preparing their wedding?" she asked and I laughed.

"Yes. First of all, she has to say yes. Second, I don't even know they want you to be their wedding planner."

"Well who else would want to do it for free? They can save the money for a wedding planner to stay longer on their honeymoon"

"Maybe they would want to plan it themselves" She huffed at that.

"That would be a disaster" I laughed. "Besides, I would ask their opinion."

"Oh Lissa" I said amused and kissed her lovingly. The TV was long forgotten as we made out on our couch and took things to the next level, both on the couch and in bed.

This was the next chapter. I hope you liked it. Leave your thoughts in a review and also don't forget what I said at the beginning. Would you like to see their conversation? I don't know when I'll post the next update, but hopefully soon. As I said in the last chapter, I'm back at school. Review :D
