I'm sorry for the late update. Thank you for the reviews. I changed the rating to M, seeing that I am going to start writing lemons. Keep reading my story and leave your reviews! :)


Dimitri POV

I was sitting on the couch, waiting for Rose to get out of the bathroom so we can leave for the restaurant. My shirt felt wrinkled than usual, I felt my hair grassy and my trousers were weighting a kilo. My palms were sweating and I couldn't stop bouncing my leg. The rest of my life depends on the next few hours.

I heard a click at the bathroom door and I turned around. My eyes widened at the sight of my beautiful girlfriend. She was wearing a red dress that was floating to her knee. She chose to wear some black heels. They were tall, but she was still a lot shorter than me. She smiled when she saw me.

"Dimitri you look amazing" she smiled, winking at me. In that moment, when I saw the look in her eyes I felt my shirt tidy, my hair clean and neat and my trousers were like a feather. I knew I was just imagining those things because the lack of self-confidence.

"Roza you're so beautiful. You look like a goddess" I said bending down to kiss he soft lips. I tasted her lip gloss: cherry, and I couldn't get tired of that. After a few more kisses we left, hand in hand, towards the restaurant. The evening was warm so we walked peacefully, embracing the weather.


"The salad is good Rose" I said laughing. The dinner was going on very smooth and I was growing more confident.

"It may be, but there is no way I'm eating vegetables. I love my meat." We were done eating and were waiting for dessert. I plan to do my move right after it.

As soon as the waiter set down the chocolate cake Rose had ordered, she dipped into it, taking two or three bites at once. I asked just for a small ice cream, feeling nauseous because of my emotions. Surprisingly, we finished eating at the same time and now we were making small talk while drinking wine.

"Thank you so much, Dimitri, for bringing me here. It was a memorable anniversary." I only hoped I could make it more memorable...in a good way.

"You don't have to thank me, Roza. You know how much I love you" this was it, the moment I've been preparing for. She opened her mouth to say something, but I didn't let her, afraid I would lose my courage. "This whole time with you had been amazing. Since I first saw you, through the window when you were on the run, I knew you were a special one. A reckless, passionate girl." her eyes watered, but they seemed sad. I hoped she wasn't thinking that this was the speech before the break up. "Every night after the lust charm had been hell. Every moment I spent on my bed alone i kept thinking about how you felt in my arms, about kissing you. Then I saw you in that house in Spokane and I've never felt so scared for anyone in my life, ever. I was afraid you would never be your old self again. But slowly you came back to the Rose Hathaway I knew and loved so much."

She opened her mouth to say something again but i didn't let her. "In the cabin, when we first made love, I thought I was dreaming. It was too good to be true. I couldn't believe I was doing that with the only woman I loved. Even as a Strigoi I kept thinking about you." I took a deep breath remembering that part. "I hate myself for what I did to you. But you never lost faith in me and you brought me back. I know I should've run into your arms, but i couldn't. Again, everything got fixed during our run, emotionally and physically. And now, I spent the best year of my life with you by my side and I am sure this is how I want it to be for the rest of my life. I want to spend my life with you, Rose. Because I love you and I can't imagine my life without you. Even if we won't have kids, that doesn't matter for me. You matter. Will you marry me, Rose Hathaway?" I finally asked as I knelt in front of her chair and opened the little box, waiting for her answer. I could feel the whole restaurant's gaze on me, but I didn't care. I was looking straight into Roza's eyes.

I could tell she was shocked and speechless. After a few seconds she whispered something. She realised she wasn't loud enough for anyone to hear so she stated repeating louder each time "Yes! Yes, i will marry you! I love you so much!". She got up from her chair and i raised from the floor, putting the ring on her finger. I smiled, spun her around and kissed her. Our spectators clapped and cheered. I couldn't be happier.

So this was Chapter 7, I hope you are not disappointed. Tell me what you think! :D
