A/N: Okay. So Adrian just said that he and Karina are going out. That's good right? But wait….when did Karina agree to it? This chapter will more than likely contain a few profanities…profanities meaning swear words that I will not be blocking unless I really have to. Enjoy and please review. I don't review often since my laptop would not let read fanfics do to this dumb block put on from the government. Oh yeah, I got a free laptop from the federal government for being in this college prep program. Luckily though, my computer somehow got rid of this block so now I can read fanfics. YAY! So now I can review stories. Okay now time for the story.
Three pairs of eyes were staring at me in shock. I laughed.
"Let me say again. Backstabber, Asshole as my little dhampir called you, I would like you to meet Karina, my new girlfriend." I grinned at them as I slid an arm over Karina's shoulder. Suddenly she burst out from under it and ran off out of club. I turned and watched her go with a frown. Hands gripped the back of my shirt and turned me around so I was directly looking at Rose.
"Your mother is going to be so pissed to know that you've decided to date a blood whore Adrian. What the hell are you thinking?" She hissed. I pushed her away growled.
"She is not a blood whore! If anyone in this small group is the blood whore it's you! You're the one who has the bite marks on your neck. Hers is completely clean! She's a guardian who was just trying to piss off her mother! Just like you would do Rose!" I growled and stormed off. They followed me, yelling after me but I just ignored them. I needed to find Karina. I needed to talk to her. I tried to search my memory for the room she was staying but being drunk after the party the other day made it so I couldn't remember where it was. I cursed and decided to do the next best thing: Find Bastine and ask him if he knew where Karina and her mother where staying.
"Adrian! I'm sorry for what I said. Get back here!" Rose called after me as I stepped into the elevator.
"Sorry. Cannot do." I said pushing the shut door button and watching the door close right on her face. I grinned as it began rising and pulled out my phone.
"Guardian Bastine? I need to know where Guardian Romelia's room is…No…I just need to talk to her…Okay…Thank you. I'll meet you back at the room….I doubt there will be any Strogoi to worry about on the elevator…Bye then." I clicked the phone shut and pushed the button to Karina's floor. I knocked on the door to her room and was hoping that only Karina was there and that I wouldn't have to deal with her mom. Unfortunately, you can't always get what you want.
"What do you want Mr. Ivashkov?" Guardian Romelia glared at me from the door entrance.
"Umm...I'd like to apologize to you and your daughter for what happened the other night. Is Karina around?" I bit my lower lip, lying as best I could. She frowned.
"No. She ran off to some club and I haven't seen her since. And I'm sorry Mr. Ivashkov but I cannot accept your apology at this time." She sighed.
"Okay. Can you tell Karina I said sorry when you see her again?" I asked, noticing a hint of sadness in my voice.
"Maybe." Her mother said and shut the door. Feeling rejected by both Karina and her mother, I sighed walked away. I was losing my charm. Rose must have destroyed that too. I pulled out my phone and dialed Bastine again.
"Hey, Bastine? Change in plans. I need a drink."
And now time for a little treat. We'll be switching POV's! For those of you who don't know what that means, POV stands for Point Of View. For this part of the chapter we will be looking at the world through Karina's eyes. I'll put another message like this in when I switch back to Adrian. Enjoy this special treat!
This was not happening. This could not be happening. I must have been in some sort of dream or nightmare that I couldn't wake up from. My heart was pounding nearly out of my chest. Adrian Ivashkov just called me his girlfriend. Me, a seventeen year old dhampir who was extremely close to losing her chance to become a guardian. But he didn't have to know about that.
"Agg! Damn you Adrian. You didn't have to break his nose." Rose Hathaway's voice grumbled as she entered the bathroom I was hiding. I pulled my feet up onto the toilet I was hiding so she wouldn't notice I was there. I stood up so I could just look over the top of the stall. She was washing her face and grumbling profanities about Adrian. I felt this uneasy angry feeling towards her as she kept it up. I had no idea why I felt this way. I didn't even know what feelings I had towards Adrian yet and I still felt a jealousy that Rose had already dated him before.
"Roza?" Dimitri Belikov's voice came from the door.
"I'll be just a minute Dimika." Her voice rang. She seemed completely out of it when he said her name. I held back a squeak when Dimitri walked into the girl's bathroom and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Adrian is just being his normal self. We'll get him to come back." He kissed the top of her head.
"He needs to get over himself. I know what I did was wrong to him. But he needs to suck it up and get over it. There are other girls out there for him. And he even found that new girl. I can't tell though if he was lying about her being a guardian or not. With what she was wearing it's hard to tell." Rose sighed and leaned back into him.
"She fights like a guardian." Dimitri laughed, rubbing his broken nose.
"I'm sorry Dimika. He shouldn't have ruined your face just for being mad at me." Rose turned around and reached to touch his face.
"It's alright Roza. It'll heal." He smiled and leaned down to kiss her. She kissed him back, letting out a small moan of pleasure. Dimitri pushed her into the bathroom sink and she lifted herself to sit on it. It took me a moment to realize that I was watching two of the queen's personal guardian's making out in a public bathroom in Vegas. I had to hold back not only another squeak of surprise but also laughter. I ducked my head down and giggled to myself. I lost my balance on the toilet and started to slip. This time I did squeak as I fell of my stand. I stuck out my feet and hands and caught myself pinned in the stall, almost to the floor. Rose had stopped her moans of pleasure.
"Hello?' she called out. I gulped I heard her begin looking through the stalls. I saw her shadow under my stall and my heart raced as she began to look under. She only glanced for feet and didn't look up to see me. When she finished looking through the stalls she sighed.
"Must have been the fan's kicking in. Now…where were we?" she giggled. I hoped they would just have another quick make out session and then leave so I could get away from my hiding spot. I couldn't hold this position forever. Boy was I wrong. It didn't take me awhile to realize to sound of them kissing and practically ripping each other's clothes off. I gulped. Holy shit! Were they going to frickin have sex in the bathroom?
"Roza, we shouldn't do this here. We should go back to the room." Dimitri said between their kisses. Yes, please get a room. I thought to myself.
"True. We don't want anyone walking in on us. That would be really bad now." She giggled. My arms and legs were beginning to give out and they were shakily badly. Those two needed to hurry. I heard them gather their wits and slowly leave the bathroom a giggling mess. As the door closed I finally lost my grip and fell, hitting my back on the toilet. I heard a snap and prayed that I didn't break anything. The door opened again and a group of girls came in laughing. They stopped when they saw me sprawled out underneath the stalls.
"Hiya." I blushed. The girls started at me and then walked out in a hurry. I rolled my eyes. Stupid humans. I sat up and rubbed my arms and legs to get the aching muscles working again before opening leaving the stall. I took one step and slipped on water (I hopped). Smashing my head on one of the sinks, I was instantly knocked out.
When I opened my eyes I was not in the bathroom. I wasn't even in Vegas anymore. Instead I found myself in a field full of flowers. I knelt down a picked one to sniff it. I smiled at the lovely scent.
"They're forget-me-nots." A voice so sweet and delicate came from above me. I looked up into Adrian Ivashkov's emerald green eyes. He was handsomely dressed and clean shaven, unlike how he was before. His hair was still messy but not as bad as when I first met him.
"That's a lovely dress you got on." He smiled, lending a hand to help me up. I looked down to see the dress I was wearing from the other night where he kissed me on me. My face flushed and I turned away from him.
"This is just a dream. It's just a dream." I said and pinched myself. "Ow!" It actually hurt. Adrian chuckled behind me.
"This is a dream. I'm just controlling it." He laughed and suddenly we were in my bedroom. He walked over to a shelf and picked up one of the gifts from my friend Edward.
"You're…controlling my dream?" I asked, looking around.
"Yes. It's something we Spirit users can do. If you are asleep I can enter your dream and either let your mind pick the environment or I can. Same with the things we're wearing. Almost every aspect of this dream I control except your thoughts and actions." He said, setting the gift down and sitting on my bed.
"Oh…neat." I said, sitting next to him.
"I guess. I used to do it all the time with Rose. She didn't really like it. Especially the things I chose her to wear.' He chuckled. I suddenly was nervous, wondering what he would do t my outfit.
"No need to worry about yourself. In fact, if you want to change your outfit, just think of what you want to wear and it should change. I just picked out what I remembered about you and what I thought looked really good on you." He laughed, staring at the floor. Not wanting to hurt his feelings, I kept the dress on. At least he didn't pick anything to bad like what I was wearing in the real world at the moment.
"I like this dress too….I didn't know you slept this early." I said jokingly, trying to start the conversation.
"Not normally. I was just waiting for you to fall asleep so I took a nap. I was going apologize for kissing you and then declaring that you were my girlfriend. We barely know each other. I was just trying to get Rose and Dimitri off my back. I'm sorry." He looked at me with sad looking eyes.
"Adrian, I'm not mad at all for those things. I cannot accept your apology. Not because I don't forgive you, but because you don't need to apologize for something I actually liked." I blushed and now it was my turn to hang my head. His eyes widened at me.
"Really? You…you didn't mind that I kissed you?" he asked with this silly grin.
"No…I actually liked it. I don't even mind the whole girlfriend thing either." I admitted, watching his grin get wider.
"So Karina…will you be my girlfriend?" he asked, leaning closer to me.
"I…I'm not sure…it is kind of fast. And you're a Royal Moroi and I'm only a dhampir. It wouldn't really work out in the end." I sighed, letting the truth sink in.
"Who cares? If I can make it with Rose I can make it work with you. I know I'm still in college but I can switch to someplace close to your Academy in Colorado. We can make it work." He smiled. We were now only inches apart, and getting closer. He cupped my chin and brought it to his face. Our lips touched and the world melted around us. I closed my eyes and took in the taste of his mouth for all that I could. It was the most wonderful thing I ever felt. This got more passionate and I bit my lip in pleasure. He broke away.
"You've done this before haven't you?" he asked with that silly grin.
"Yeah…I've had my share of boyfriends…none of them lasted very long though." I told him and started kissing him again. We fell back onto the dream bed as the kiss got deeper and deeper. I could stop to moans escaping my mouth just as he couldn't stop his own groans. I could tell he was holding something back because he kept biting his lip when my lips weren't against his.
"Is something the matter Adrian?" I asked, ending the kiss.
"This is totally not something I would normally say but this is wrong. There's the age difference and we barely know each other." He sighed, sitting us up.
"We can get to know each other. We could sit here and play twenty questions." I suggested.
"Maybe later. Unfortunately I think Ivan is trying to wake me up. Good night little dhampir." He smiled. Kissed me and then the dream dissipated. I woke up, still lying on the bathroom floor. I glanced at my watch. I had been unconscious an hour.
"Does nobody use this bathroom?" I asked, getting up and rubbing my head. I made my way back to my room where I found my mom sleeping on the couch. I felt sorry for what I did. I shouldn't have taken my angry out on her and gone to a club like this to pick up guys. I was a guardian. Not a blood whore. I would never be a blood whore.
AN: This is the end of Karina's POV. Maybe I'll put another in later but who knows. Okay, back to Adrian. He's just waking up after walking in Karina's dream.
"Get up Adrian." Bastine shook me. I yawned and sat up.
"You just ruined a perfectly good dream. I was enjoying it." I glared at him.
"Sorry, but Rose and Dimitri are here again. I let them in, noting wanting them to break the door down again. They seem a little giddy right now…I think they may have just...umm…done something by the looks of it." Bastine was trying to keep a straight face.
"Great." I rolled my eyes. I did not want to see those two, and I really didn't want to see them after they had sex. It would not make me very happy, especially after my good dream. I went and met them sitting on the couch in the room, laughing at each other.
"Don't make me barf." I gagged behind them. They stopped their laughing and turned to me.
"Adrian, please come back. We are not leaving without you. You're parents are worried and so is Lissa. You can't just stay here because you're mad at me." Rose pleaded.
"I am over that now. I have found someone new. I will be coming home soon. I want to see if I can bring Karina home with me for the rest of her vacation before she has to return to Colorado. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date." I growled and marched out the door. Not looking back to see if they were following me, I headed to the elevator where just as I was about the push the button to open the door, Karina walked out and bumped into me.
"Hello Little Dhampir." I grinned.
"Hello Messy Hair." She teased. I placed a hand on my head.
"It's not that messy…I was just looking for you. Would you like to join me for lunch?" I asked, wrapping an arm around her and entering the elevator.
"Gladly." She giggled that giggle I loved so much. We made our way for a restaurant in the hotel and ordered our lunch. As we waited for food, we did what we said in the dream walking: played twenty questions.
A/N: Okay, I'm stealing my girlfriends idea (Adrian's True Jailbait) and alternating talking with bold and not while they talk.
Adrian: Bold
Karina: Not Bold
"I'll start. How old are you?"
"22. But you can think of me as old as you like. How old are you Little Dhampir?"
"I turned 17 just last week."
"Sweet. Not to young still."
"Shut up. Anyways, why do you smoke?"
"I smoke and drink to nullify the negative effects of Spirit. We'll talk about those later. Have you always lived in Colorado?
"No. I was born in Chicago and lived there for three years before we moved to Colorado. Who's your favorite actor?"
"Has to be Sean Connery. Who's yours?"
"Leonardo Dicaprio for sure. What do you think of Angeline Jolie?"
"I'm a guy, what do you think I think about her. What music do you like?"
"Almost anything. Dislike a lot of rap but don't mind it. Justin Beiber…what do you think of him?"
"Him? I always thought it was a girl…that's news to me. Favorite show?"
"Don't judge me but I absolutely love Glee. Kurt is my hero."
"They gay kid?"
"Don't judge him. He's so awesome! What do you think of transformers?"
"Dude, why can't they be my friends. Why do they chose little LaBeouf? He's got no life. Sorry. Twilight?"
"OMG! Fairies! See the sarcasm. Some should shoot those guys and put us out of our misery. What do you think of Tim Burton?"
"One crazy dude. Stephan Kings books?"
"Never read them. Don't want to. He's the insane one. Megan Fox?"
"Used to be hot, now she's not. Hey…that rhymed…."
"Foods here." Karina giggled. (A/N switching back to normal.)
"Finally. I'm starving." I laughed as the food was set in front of us. "That game was fun wasn't it?"
"Yes. I learned a lot about you. Want to continue after lunch?" Karina giggled.
"For sure. Let's eat Little Dhampir."
A/N: Fast Fast Fast updates. Hope you like the story. This one ended a little fast but I sort of have a headache and am a bit tired but I really wanted to get a chapter posted tonight. Please review! I love reviews…
