I hurry to leave the garden but he catches my arm and forces me to face him.

"What the fuck, dude?" I ask trying to free myself from his grip.

"Who got on your nerves?" He asks, finely freeing my arm.

"You." I answer a little too loud. I, again turn my back to him with the intention to leave. Well, guess what... he again catches my arm, pressing me against his chest.

"What the fuck? Let me go!" I scream but he only smiles. I just met this guy but I already hate him.

"And if I don't want to?" He asks, looking down at me.

"I'll scream." I answer struggling to get free.

"Do I look like I care? It is my parents' house after all... and who are you? The house maid daughter." He says and I take his words as a punch in my face. But he is right... I'm just the daughter of the house maid. I'm nothing and I will never be. Maybe this is the reason Dimitri wanted to play with me, he thought that I'm nothing, an easy target... a puppet he could play with. Seeing that I'm not as easy as he thought to untamed he let go. Maybe everyone will let go of me... even Lissa.

Without noticing I let go to a single tear to fall down my face. Maybe I look like an untamed animal but deep down I'm as innocent as a lamb.

I stop struggling and let him study me. I really need a gun when times like this will come around. He let go of me to take a step back.

"What do you want from me?" I ask, not daring to look into his eyes.

"Nothing... I just want to know your name." He says.

"I thought that as the daughter of the house maid you already know my name." I answer, trying to be a little rude. What?... he's been rude too. It's only fair.

"Yeah I do... but I want to know how your name sound from your mouth." He says, almost making me smile. He has no right to say such beautiful things to me.

"I'm Rose." I say giving my hand so he can shake it.

"Nice to meet you, Rose. I'm Adrian." He says, shaking my hand. Well, maybe he is not that bad after all.

"Nice to meet you, too, Adrian." I say, smiling at him. Now, looking better I can say that he is quite handsome. His green eyes are breath taking and his smile... well, his smile it's one of a kind. So beautiful and unique. Too bad my heart has already an owner... a fucking, stupid owner.

"So what got you so sad, Rose?" He asks, saying my name in a way never, no one said it before. Unique and beautiful.

"Nothing important." I answer.

"You know the advantage of conversing to a person you just met?" He asks, sitting down on a bench.

"What?" I ask so innocent.

"That that person can't say it to no one because he doesn't really know you. Like a priest." He says, smiling. "Now come, sit next to me!" he adds and I do as I'm told.

"You don't have to be kind with me just because you pity me." I say looking at him, trying to show him my brave part.

"I'm not kind just with you... that's who I am." He says, moving a little closer to me.

"I'm glad to see that out there are still boys like you." I say with a bitter ton in my voice. I extend my hand to pick a rose from the garden, sticking one of my fingers. I put it in my mouth to suck my blood while Adrian looks at me like I'm some short of alien.

"So now, tell me what got you so mad and sad... and let me guess, it is because of a boy." He says, picking another rose to put it in my hair. "Am I right?" He asks.

"Ummm, yes you are right." I answer, smelling the beautiful rose from my hand.

"What have he done to you, ha? Tell me about that mother fucker." He says, trying to get a smile out of me.

"Well, me and this guy spent some time together and I thought that we have something but when I went to visit him at his work place his secretary told me that he is too busy to see me. I mean, I get that he is a busy man, but hell he won't die if he gives me five minutes from his precious time." I say breathing heavily after all this speech.

"Rose, can I ask how old is this guy?" Adrian asks, looking very serious.

"He- he – he is, ummmm, he is 18." I lie. I don't want my mother to find out that her little daughter likes a man with seven years older than her. Well, if me and Dimitri will ever be serious, which I don't have many hopes, eventually my mother will have to find out, but not right now.

"And he works at 18 years old?" He asks, rising a brow, letting me know that this thing is kind of crazy.

"Yes, he just finished high school and his father hired him." I lie again.

"Oh... smart boy." He says ironically.

"Yeah and really, really annoying." I add.

"So Rose, about this guy, maybe he really was busy, but you don't have to lose hope. Go tomorrow too, if not the day after tomorrow and so on... until he lets you in or until you get bored." He says, smiling at me.

"So you tell me here to become a stalker?" I ask.

"Maybe... look, if you really like him you don't have to give up just because he had a busy day. Be the one who fights and you won't be sorry later." He says taking me by my chin, making sure that I look into his eyes. "If that guy lets you go he will be a big fool. And to scare the shit out of him, tell him that I'm on the line." He adds making me tremble under his touch but making me smile at the same time.

"Thank you." I say a little shyly.

"So, who is this guy?" Adrian asks putting one of his arms around my shoulder. "Doesn't he have a name?" He adds.

"Goodbye Adrian." I say getting up leaving him in the garden, now for good.

-o—O-

I did as Adrian said and I went to Dimitri's work place every day of the week and guess what... yes folks, he was busy every single day. I don't know how the fuck but hell I'm going to forget that there was ever a Dimitri Belikov in my life.

Right now is Friday night, and my last costumers just left. I guess it's time for me to go home. I take off my pinafore ready to leave when I hear the door opening. Oh perfect... another starved idiot that wants to eat at this hour at KFS. I look up to see Dimitri standing in front of me.

"I'm sorry Sir, we are closed." I say trying to avoid his sight. Actually I don't even look at him.

"I'm not here to eat, Rose, and you know it." He comes inches away from me taking my chin, making me look at him.

"Then may I ask what are you doing here? Last time I checked it was a place where people comes and eat." I say ironically.

"I'm here to talk." He says, almost whispering.

"There is nothing we can talk about." I answer breaking from his grip. He won't ever have control on me.

"Hell there is." He says dragging me out of the shop.

"Please let me alone, I'm too busy to talk to you." I say struggling to get free from his arms. Hell, this man is really strong. He hugs me and I let him, but I don't hug him back. I don't feel like to.

"Are you mad? What happened?" He says not breaking the hug. I feel like all the anger that I feel towards him just grows second by second. "Talk to me!" He adds looking, now, into my eyes. I don't know what to do, slap him, scream at him or to just leave, turn my back on him.

I chose the last option, I turn my back to him, intending to leave him here to talk to himself 'cause I'm not gonna listen. Oh, I'm so over it.

"Oh no, no, you are not walking away on me." He says running towards me. Just in the moment he touches my arm Mia, one of my best friend along Lissa, that works in the same place as me, comes out of the shop, looking weird at us.

"Good night, Rose." She says, waving her hand. I wave my hand back at her, saying my goodbye.

"Goodbye." I say, looking again at Dimitri. "Goodbye to you, too." I add to him.

"What is this all about, Roza?" He screams at me. I feel like crying but I stifle my tears before I look at him.

"I don't know Dimitri. I just don't feel like fucking seeing you." I scream back. He closes the distance between us, taking my chin again in his right hand. I look into his eyes because I don't have another choice.

"What means to you all that was between us?" He asks, leaning down touching my forehead with his. My heart stops for a second oscillating between what to answer. I want to say that I actually want to be with him, that every night I dream about his arms around my waist but what if he doesn't feel the same? What if this all is just a game he plays and I'm the toy he uses? No... I must stop whatever this is and walk away from his life. I don't want to tell him about the way I feel about him, I don't want to be the one who gets hurt... even thought I will get hurt, I want to be the one who breaks whatever it is. But even thought his feeling are real for me, all the lies that stands between us are killing me slowly. Sooner or later he will find out about my truth age and everything will break off.

"I just wanted you to fuck me, but seeing that you are a little coward that is to afraid to take my virginity away, I gave up." I say and in the next second he lets go of my chin and takes a step away from me. God it hurts so much.

"So this was all about?" He says not believing what he had just heard.

"Yes, this is what all of this was about."

"Well, you had to say what you wanted so I could make sure you get it." He says with disgust in his eyes. God, I deserve all of this.

"Now excuse me but I need to be somewhere." I say, now leaving for good. Just after I turned the corner of the street I was, I let my hot tears to fall down my cold cheeks. I never thought it will hurt so badly. He seemеd hurt, maybe he really likes me, maybe he really wanted something with me... now all it is lost and I can't go back. After all, we were never meant to be.

I find Lissa in front of my house, smiling. I whip away my tears and smile to her. I don't want Lissa to know that I was crying.

"Rose, how are you?" She asks running to me. I hug her, leading her inside.

"Hey, Liss. I'm good, just a little tired after work." I say taking off my shoes.

"Was it a good day or a bad day?"

"A good day, I guess. Like usually." I answer sitting on the sofa next to her. I didn't tell Lissa about the fact that Dimitri didn't want to see me at his work place and I won't tell either that I was a total bitch to him earlier.

"Well, guess what?" She asks jumping up and down.

"What?"

"Dimitri's family invited my family tomorrow at a barbeque and I want you to come with me." She says still smiling.

"Sorry Liss, but I don't think I will go." I answer not looking into her eyes.

"Why, you are always happy to see Dimitri?" And she is right. I was always happy to see Dimitri but now I'm really ashamed to see him. Right now I'm nothing more than a slut to him and this is all because of me and my big stupidity... because I'm too afraid to be the one who's left behind.

"Yes, but I don't feel like going." I answer.

"Oh no, no, no... you are coming." She said walking away.

"But Liss.."

"Liss nothing... I'll be here at 9 Am, be ready." And she leaves.

Ok Rose, now what are going to do tomorrow? Is going to be a hell of day... what can I say... I can't wait.
