I also want to thank (even though I already have haha) Swimming the Same Deep Waters who was one of the first to read the last chapter and pointed out a mistake I had made or well spellcheck had made and I hadn't noticed before posting. :)
so for future reference if any of you notice a mistake please either make note in your review or PM me and I'll fix it as soon as I can because let's face it I'd rather not have mistakes haha.

Anyway enough from me, Enjoy!

I woke up to a wicked hangover and pounding head. Ugh it's been a while since I drank so much…
I carefully got up to get some water and pain killers but wasn't until I reached the sink and I noticed the glass and where my keys were sitting and the events of last night fully came back to me.
"Oh god" I groaned as I remember throwing myself at Dimitri. The poor guy that was nice enough to help me to my apartment. I'll have to go apologise to Dimitri at some point but right now all I need is to lay in my comfy bed and sleep. Thank god I don't have classes until tomorrow which I'll have to prepare for when I'm feeling better later tonight.
I woke up later to my phone ringing, good thing was I wasn't as hungover as this morning and my head wasn't pounding either. I looked at the caller Id to find it was Eddie, answering and putting it on speaker while I found what I needed for a shower.
"Hey Eddie what's up?" "Rose are you okay?" "Why wouldn't I be?" I tried to sound as normal as possible.
"Well… Adrian told me about the date last night and how you drank so much?" All I could think at that point was oh shit what has he said?
"I'm okay now but I did have a wicked handover this morning, what else did Adrian say?" "That'll teach you for drinking so much," as he started laughing on the other end, "not much really just said the date could have gone better and that you weren't really into it."
"Oh okay, well I'm going to go so I can shower and start prepping for classes tomorrow, I'll speak to you later" "Okay bye Rose"
I quickly jumped in the shower and my god it was the best shower I could have ever had on a day like today. After speaking to Eddie I just didn't know whether I could face Dimitri right now, and honestly I was actually embarrassed for throwing myself at guy when I'd finished a date minutes beforehand.
I'd just pulled all my supplies out for my classes when I remembered I need to check the mail. I grabbed my keys and walked out the door and downstairs, only to see Dimitri standing near the door talking to some guy. The same guy I saw with him last night.
His friend noticed me and when Dimitri saw he was staring at something behind him he turned around, we made eye contact before I quickly looked away. To be honest I was ashamed of what I did last night. I quickly made my way to mine and Lissa's box which of course was full when I opened it and there was a little note from the post office saying there was more mail there. I internally laughed, between the two of us we have so much mail I think it may be helpful to invest in a P.O. Box.
I was flicking through to see what was for me and important when I heard Dimitri say goodbye to his friend, I started panicking as I heard him walk up beside me. I could feel his gaze on me, I risked a sidewards glance at him but couldn't look him in the eye.
"Hi…. Rose" He sounded a little nervous, probably because he thought I was going to try and jump him again. "Um Hi Dimitri" I quickly shut the box and started to walk towards the stairs only to have Dimitri follow me. I got to the stairs leading to the third floor and looked behind me to see him staring at me and still following me.
"Um are you following me Dimitri?" He chuckled. Like literally chuckled at me asking that question, and when I looked at his face there was amusement all over it. "No Rose I happen to live on the third floor. Well actually right next door to you."
My jaw dropped open. I knew I'd see him frequently but I had no idea I'd see him practically everyday, this was going to be harder then I thought. "Right." Was all I could say before continuing to my apartment and him to his.
I unlocked the door and was about to walk inside when I felt his hand grab my wrist, "Rose can we talk?" I sighed and turned around and looked at him, I glanced down at his hand on my wrist which shot warmth around where it touched, I looked back up to him and saw him realise he still had a hold of my wrist so he let go.
"What did you want to talk about?" "Umm Rose I think you know what considering you can barely look at me for more than a couple of seconds." "I don't want to talk about what happened last night."
"Roza we need to. You went out on a date, came home drank and even kissed your date then when I help you to your apartment and made sure you drank some water you threw yourself at me. Then when I finally came to my senses and told you I couldn't do it you practically begged me to stay."
"I know and I'm sorry Dimitri. The date wasn't that great and I wasn't even into the kiss but I didn't think I'd see you downstairs. Thank you for helping me to my apartment though I clearly needed it with how I felt this morning." I'd said all this while staring at the ground, I felt tears well up in my eyes and fought to hold them but they started to spill. "Roza, look at me."
When I didn't respond, he cupped my chin and slowly tilted my head up to look at him before he wiped the tears off my cheeks. "Roza please don't cry. I'm not angry at you." "It's not that Dimitri, it's… um.. it's just I'm ashamed of what I did last night. I knew I shouldn't have thrown myself at you but it happened. I've had a rough few months so getting drunk was my only release."
Without warning he pulled me into a hug. He was so warm I felt my body start to tingle and warm thanks to him. "Roza, don't be ashamed, sometimes people do stupid shit when they're drunk, I'm just one of those guys who won't take advantage of a girl who is drunk especially when she's been on a date with another guy. But if you ever need someone to talk to you can always come to me, you can trust me. Okay?"
"Thank you and I don't know what it is about you but I do trust you." I gave him a small smile "I gotta go Dimitri I've got supplies organise for classes tomorrow."
I walked into my apartment and locked the door. That went well I think, but I can't shake this butterfly feeling in my stomach whenever Dimitri's around.
okay so what do you guys think?
I'll be starting to chapter 5 tomorrow and hopefully by the end of the week I'll have at least chapter 6 finished as well and I'll post chapter 5 the beginning of next week.
Dont forget to review, follow, and favourite
