"Yes?", I say while looking him up and down taking in his physique. His broad shoulders, his chin-length brown hair. That tight black shirt showing off his ripped body. those jeans that look like they fit so snug. Those eyes that I am starting to love.
Wait Rose did you just say, you Love those eyes. Okay, something is very wrong with you. You just met the guy for god sakes. How can you love something about him when you know nothing about him, not even his name yet. I push those thoughts out of my head and continue to look him over. He has on a duster. It shows in a way just how tall he his. Maybe about 6' foot 7" inches. He is magnificent. I look back into his eyes trying not to act like I was just looking him up and down.
"What's your name?", he says while walking towards me. "
I stick out my hand, "Rose, Rose Hathaway, I am here for volunteering".
He shakes my hand, " nice to meet you, Rose. I am Dimitri, Dimitri Belikov".
I looked down at my watch, "it is very nice to meet you, Dimitri". "So you are here to volunteer, what for?"
"I am here to volunteer for a school final. I have to write a book report on a soldier. I think it would be great to find somebody today to write a book report on, even though if I find somebody I will be volunteering next week in case one of my friends don't find anybody today.
Speaking of which I have to go, they are waiting for me. Sorry for bumping into you, bye Dimitri". I turn around and run before he gets a word in.
I ran as fast as I can, bumping into somebody, the dude was trying to hit on me but I didn't have time to deal with that right now so I told him I am about to be late.
He let me go as long as he gave me his number and name. His name is Adrian, he has dark green emerald eyes, and sale brown hair.
I made it there right on the dot and go sit with the gang. "Hey guys, I am sorry I was almost late. I kind of bumped into somebody while coming into the building and we had a brief discussion".
"It's okay", everybody nods their head in agreement with Lissa, "Let's talk later right now I want to focus on our instructions".
With that said everybody turned their head to listen and follow instructions of what we are supposed to do.
Dimitri P.O.V.
She runs down the hall and I keep wondering if I will ever see her again. Something about her attracts me to her. It feels like I can tell her anything. You will see her again Dimitri you are helping with the fundraiser and that is why she is here after all. I smile at my minds conclusion.
Why does it make me happy that I will see her again? Why does it make me smile? I never usually smile. Why am I looking forward to seeing her again? We barely just met and you heard her she is still in school. It's not like anything could happen between you two... Wait, what did I just think? Do I want a relationship with her? How could that even be possible? I only know what her name is. I know nothing else other than she will be here today and probably next week.
I shake my head and shove all of those thoughts to the back of mind and go help set up the fundraiser.
I go find Ivan my best friend and my stupid cousin, Adrian. I go look in the supply room that is way across the building and get there in about 10 minutes, and there is Ivan getting something. "Hey, Ivan do you know where Adrian is? I need both your help with setting up the announcement. Can you help me?"
"Sure Dimka let me just go put this stuff down first", I help him carry his stuff to a table right by the back door.
"Okay, the last place I remember seeing him was a few minutes ago to this girl. She kept running saying she had to go outside before she would be late for something but he wouldn't let her go until she accepted his phone number.
Anyway, she ran off right after she got his number. she was very good looking. Adrian wouldn't stop saying how hot she was with her dark brown hair and curvy body, his words not mine of course".
Wait could he have talked to Rose? I hope not. I start to feel this tingling sensation in my stomach. I don't know what it is. Oh no, I hope she doesn't go out with him. He is known as a player. I don't want her to go out with that scumbag. Yes, he is my cousin but most of the time he can be a man whore. I don't want to see Rose be his next target.
"Where did he go after that?" He gestured for me to follow him and me reluctantly I did. We went outside so we had to go all the way through the building cause there is only one door that leads to outside from the back. Sure enough there he was talking to her.
Rose.
That sensation from a while ago came back. "That's is the girl he was talking to about 20 minutes ago", he points to her. "Come on let us go get him so he can help", with that we walked over there to the two of them talking.
"Adrian", Ivan says, Adrian turns his gaze from Rose to look at us. "Hey guys", he waves at us to leave, but we don't. "Adrian can you come to help us? We need to set up some things and I can't do it by myself and not be ready on time for the announcement".
I look at Rose and give her a smile. She gives me one back, "Hey Rose, where you late because I stopped you?", I asked worried if I cause her to be late.
"No, I wasn't late but if I were to be late it be because of this one", she points to Adrian, "he stopped me one minute before I was late.
Thank god I made it in time to miss nothing".
I drew my gaze back to Adrian, "you know her?", he asks looking at Rose, "and that is your name, Rose?" Her smile falters.
oops I guess she didn't want him to know her name. "Oh yeah we bumped into each other on my way in the building", she says looking at me. I mouth to her 'I am sorry' and she nods her head in acknowledgment. She didn't even answer his question about that being her name.
"Yeah, we talked for a little bit. Anyway Rose, I hope to see you around", I gave her a small smile.
"Yeah I can help you Agent Boring Borscht", says Adrian.
Rose starts giggling softly and quietly and I swear it is the cutest thing I have ever seen. She looks at me and sees that I heard and blushes. Never mind this is the cutest thing I have seen. I smile at her, very happy that she is blushing.
Looking up at Adrian, "Really you had to call me that?" I look at him and shake my head, "come on before the announcement starts. Bye Rose see you around".
I walk away with Adrian and Ivan in tow. Turning around for a quick second to wave at her, she waves back. Crap I didn't introduce Ivan to her. Hopefully, if I see her again, I will
Rose P.O.V.
Dimitri, Adrian, and Ivan walked away. I can't believe I freakin' giggled. I Rose freakin' Hathaway giggled. Why did I giggle? Why did Dimitri have to hear me giggle? I even blushed. Why did he also have to see me blush? I never once in my life blushed, EVER!
I walked towards the gang. we were paired up. We signed up for pairs. I was going to pick Lissa but of course, she chooses her boyfriend. She is going to be distracted the whole time making out with him. So instead I choose to work with Sydney.
"Hey Sydney, are you ready to help around the fundraiser", I asked in a joy overfilled voice.
"Yeah, so what are I and you going to do first?"
I thought for a moment, "Um, some guys I met earlier are helping out setting up for the announcement.
Do you want to go help them out?"
I hope she says I don't know why but I fell this need to be around Dimitri. It's weird since I just met him.
"Yeah, let us go see if they will let us help them". We walked over to the stage where the announcement will be made.
I saw that hair that I knew belonged to Dimitri's. I stared at it while walking over to them.
I snapped out of while Sidney stopped in front of me looking at me with a concern written all over her face. "Rose... Rose, are you okay? You just stopped like you were a deer in headlights. Is something wrong?"
I shook my head and pulled her back a little, "no it's just this guy I met earlier. I saw him and kind of got sidetracked staring at him. I don't know why but I think I might like the guy. Do you think that is weird for me 'The Rose Hathaway' to get stunned to the tip of my toes by this guy?", I asked slightly pointing to Dimitri.
She looked in the direction my finger was pointing and she looked stunned too.
It took her a second to get back to answering me, "no you should be stunned like that, he is gorgeous. He isn't my type though so I can't say I am stunned as you are but he is a good looking man".
"Okay and Sydney please keep this to yourself. The gang will kill me if I got so stunned the way a man looked, will you please?", I asked with pleading eyes.
"Yes, I will keep this to myself".
"Thank you so much Syd", I hugged her, "okay let's get back to asking if they need help, but first I need to calm down because I am still star struck by him".
She nodded and we stayed there for a little while to calm me down. It works but not all the way. I don't know why but I felt nervous for some reason. The whole time Sydney kept looking the way of Adrian. Does she like him? Could he like her and get off my back. I don't want him to hurt her either but I don't want him engaging with me. If she does I hope he treats her right.
"Hey, Sydney do you like that boy?", I point to Adrian, "you keep looking at him".
She turned red and nodded her head, "yeah and he is a man not a boy, but I don't know him, he doesn't even know me". She bowed her head looking slightly sad.
"his name is Adrian, here", I pass her his number I don't need it anyway "He gave me his number but when he gets a look you, he won't be coming after me anymore. He will get one look at you and he will be like how I just was for his friend. A deer stuck headlights".
She started to blush, "I can introduce you to him", I paused looking at her a small smile playing at the tips of her lips,"if you want".
She nods her head vigorously, I can't help but laugh a little. "okay I will, now come on", I grab her by the hand and drag her towards them.
"Hey Comrade, need any help setting up?" Did I just give him a nickname? Where did that come from? I have just known him for a little while and I already gave him a nickname. Oh well, I guess there is nothing I can do about it now that I said it. I look at Dimitri as he slowly turns around with I huge smile on his face.
