A/N: So, here's chapter 7. Sorry for taking forever to update. I really need to get better with updating this story. I get kind of lazy and forget about this. I'll get this one up, but then I won't be able to update in the next week or so. Next week is finals week and the last week of school, and my birthday and then my party. So I'm going to be pretty busy. But then it's summer after, so I'll be able to update more frequently. Also, in this chapter, I am going to be doing a time jump. It's going to be 8 months ahead, just to get things going and make the story better. Btw, Rose and Dimitri are good friends now.

Chapter 7:
8 months after Rose and Dimitri hangout. (March 2014)
RPOV:
It's Friday after school, and me, Dimitri, Christian, Liss, Adrian, Mason, and Eddie are all sitting in the coffee shop hanging out. "Oh Rose, I forgot to ask you, are you going to prom?! It's in 2 months! We gotta start thinking about that. We should get our dress soon. Well that is if you're going. You gotta go, it's our senior prom and if you don't I'm going to be so angry with you!" Lissa says. "Wait, prom? I completely forgot about that." I Say.
"Liss, I'll go just because I've never been. I didn't go last year. I'll go this year, but only for the experience. You know how much I hate school dances, they're a waste of money and time. But I'll do it for you. When do you wanna go dress shopping?" I ask.
"Yay! I 'm so excited now! We should go next weekend? I'm free and I'll make sure you are too! Oh this is going to be so much fun! We can go to this little boutique I saw that they just finished putting in down the street. It looks good! Crap, it's already 5 o'clock! We gotta go Christian, we have that movie to see!" She says excitedly while saying bye to each of us. Christian and Lissa leave and it's just me and Dimitri and the guys.
"yeah, I better go too. I gotta babysit my little cousin." Says Mason getting up packing his stuff. "Awe, Mase, you babysitting? Sounds adorable!" I say teasingly. "I may seem tough, but I got a heart of gold Rose. And you know me, I love kids." He says smiling. "I know Mase, was just yanking your chain." I say back smiling. "Me and Eddie are gonna go to that party at Chase's house. You guys should come." Says Adrian.
I look over at Dimitri and he gives me a look like 'no way in hell, don't look at me'. I laugh and look at Adrian and Eddie and politely apologize telling them no. Me and Dimitri don't really get along with Chase, he's the school jock, and an asshole. They say it's alright and leave. It's just me and Dimitri then.
"So Rose, what do we do now?" he asks. "Wanna go to my place? Liss and Christian are gone, as you know, so we'll have the place to ourselves. Nice and quiet." I ask. "Sounds good to me." he replies. We pack our stuff up and I drive to my house with Dimitri following in his truck. He gave up his motorcycle for the winter and now he has his truck. It's pretty nice. It's a 2011 black ford truck.
We get to my house and I go to the bathroom, while Dimitri starts to rummage through the fridge. While going to the bathroom, I start to think about prom. I don't really want to go, but I will for liss. Although it's gonna suck, I won't have a date and lissa and Christian are probably gonna be all mushy and so I'll be stuck being the third wheel again. Like that time we went to the movies. Never again will I go on a date with them. Ugh.
I would go with Dimitri, but he probably is gonna go with someone else. It's been 8 months since we last hung out at his house. I failed with the whole "no boy drama", I really like him. And maybe "boy drama" won't be so bad with Dimitri. He's actually a really nice guy. He treats me right and thinks of others before himself. He's pretty much every girls dream. He's nothing like any guy at our school. I don't deserve him.
I walk out of the bathroom to find Dimitri sitting there staring off into space at the counter mid bite into his sandwhich. I laugh and say "What's wrong? Bug in your food?" He snaps out of his trance and laughs while taking a bite of his sandwich.
Finished chewing, he says back "Nah, I was just thinking,". "About what?" I ask. "Just stuff. Important stuff." Huh. Dimitri tells me everything, what's he hiding? Oh I'm sure it's nothing. "Well, maybe you could tell me, and I'll help you think." I say smiling. "Actually, I think I need to figure this out myself. But thanks Roza." he says back smiling. Well damn, he's really not gonna tell me. Oh well. I mean it's not like he needs to tell me everything, we're not even going out. Sadly.
"So, you wanna watch a movie?" I ask while walking towards the living room. "Sure." he follows behind me and we settle down on the couch with popcorn, soda, and blankets to watch 'Paranormal Activity 4'.
We were entranced in the movie, during the part when the girl is home alone and gets locked in the garage and the car starts by itself. I scream when the garage door slams shut and the car starts. I cuddle into Dimitri, and he laughs at me. "Roza, it's just a movie, it's ok." he says wrapping his arm around my shoulder. I notice how we're sitting, and I smile on the inside.
It's like we're a couple. Sitting at home in the dark watching a scary movie and cuddling. If only we were. I don't know if I can hold on much longer being his friend, I see girls look at him all the time and try and flirt with him and it makes me jealous. But he just acts like friends with them. But I bet he likes them. Better than me that is.
The movie ends and we watch two more after that. 'Insidious' , and 'Neighbors'. Lissa isn't coming home tonight, she's spending the night at Christians, apparently the movie scared her and she doesn't want to leave Christians side. I don't blame her, I don't want Dimitri to leave. Those movies scared the crap out of me. They were so realistic. Well at least Paranormal Activity was.
Dimitri comes out of the bathroom and I jump when he talks, because I didn't notice him. He laughs and teases me by saying "Awe, is my Roza scared? They're just movies, don't worry. It's not real." He says giving me a hug. I scowl and push out of his hug, while saying "well of course, I knew that! I wasn't scared!" The house creaks and I yelp grabbing onto Dimitri and shoving my face in his chest.
"Sure, not scared." he says chuckling. I blush because I notice he's right. Damn, I really don't want him to leave. That's it! I'll ask him to spend the night. He can sleep on the floor in my room and everything will be fine! Dad's not home, still on one of his business trips. And lissa is out with Christian. Not like she would care anyways. Perfect! Looking up at him, I shyly ask "Hey, Dimitri? I have a question." He looks down at me raising a eyebrow "Would you,... could you,... maybe, um, spend the night? You could sleep on the floor on the air mattress in my room? I admit, I'm scared. I really don't want to sleep alone in the house!" I say.
He laughs " Awe that's cute Roza." He says patting me on the head. "Well I mean sure. If you really want me to and if you feel comfortable with that. I'll call my mom and tell her that I won't be coming home." he answers while going over to his bag to grab his phone. I smile relieved and happy that he'll be spending the night with me. I don't feel so scared anymore. I go to lock all the doors and close all the blinds, making sure Dimitri comes with me that is. I'm not going in this house by myself with him.
He gets off the phone with his mom, and tells me that she said yes. "Thank god. I probably would've not gotten any sleep if you couldn't. Those movies really scared me." I say while we walk up to my room. I grab the air mattress out of my closet and plug it in to blow it up. It finishes and I make the bed with the sheets.
While doing that, Dimitri goes to the bathroom to change into the pair of my dad's pajama pants I gave him to use. He comes out of the bathroom in the pants and his t-shirt. They're tight on him, since he is a lot bigger in height than my dad and in body size and structure. They come above his ankles a little and are tight as hell around his nice ass. Yes, his ass is heaven itself. Damn, even fully clothed, he still manages to look sexy as hell!
He sits down on the bed, and I go to my bathroom to change into my pajamas. I end up putting on my boy boxer shorts and a baggy t-shirt after taking my bra off. I walk out of the bathroom and see Dimitri getting into his bed under the covers. I go to turn off the light, and when done, I go to crawl into bed, only to trip over the edge of Dimitris' bed. I yelp and land on top of him. He makes a oomph sound and starts to laugh. "Oh god, I am so sorry. I didn't see the corner of the bed and kinda tripped over it in the dark." I say hurriedly while trying to get up.
It's a damn air mattress, it's harder to get up than I thought! I struggle and end up falling on top of him again while finally getting to my feet. Guess my balance wasn't that great enough to stand. I sigh annoyed and he just laughs again. "Damn Rose, I thought you said you were going to sleep in your bed." he says teasing me. I look down into his eyes, still on top of him and we just stare at each other.
I see his eyes move to my mouth and I do the same to his. Before I know it, we're both kissing and Dimitri has his hands around my back on my lower waist. God, this is better than I thought it was going to be! Damn he knows how to kiss! Oh my god, we're kissing! I scream inside my head. He slowly nudges my lip with his tongue asking for entrance and I let him. We start to get into a heated make out session and he puts his hands up my shirt and starts to rub his hands on my back. I feel him play with my back dimples and I moan a little. That was not supposed to happen! Oh gosh how embarrassing!
Both noticing what we were doing, we pull apart and look at each other. "Oh...um..I'm so sorry!" I say blushing furiously. Hopefully he doesn't see it in the dark. Too late. "Roza, you're cute when you blush." He says moving my hair out of my face. I look down at him and see him smiling at me.
"Do you want to know what I'm thinking honestly?" he asks. "Um, as long as it's not bad. Sure?" I say warily. He laughs and tightens his arms around me and says quietly and slowly "Well...you see, I...how do I say this?...I've liked you a long time Roza. I mean like, really like you." He says looking at me to see my reaction. Seeing him look worried, I quickly say, "You, like me? That's crazy, I'm not good enough for you. There are girls way prettier than me out there. Why would you like me?" I ask.
Laughing softly, he says "Roza, you're the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. And that's the truth. You're different, in a good way and that's what I like. You're smart, caring, kind, have an amazing personality. And you're not afraid to act like yourself. You're not like those girls who are too girly. You're perfect. And I really like you. And I'm not just saying this. I'm being serious." he says looking into my eyes to see my reaction.
I just stare for a minute shocked and then I crash my lips to his. Breaking apart I laugh a little out of relief and look at him, "Well, thank god. I really like you too. I mean, gosh Dimitri, that was amazing. No wonder all the girls at school love you. You're kind, handsome, caring, and what every girl wants. You have an amazing body and your personality is just perfect. I've liked you since I first saw you in the hall the first day of school. I didn't want to do anything because I thought you didn't like me and well honestly, I was scared I would get hurt again. But now that I know you do, that makes me really happy." I say smiling and laying my head on his chest.
I feel him stiffen for a second and then he grabs my face in his hands. "Hurt you? Why would I do that?" he asks skeptically. Slowly I look away from him and say "Well you see, I was kinda played by Jesse Zelkos last year. I thought he liked me, but he really just wanted to use me for sex. And well we only got as far as making out because I found out and stopped. But it was a mistake. I let myself like him and let my guard down and he ended up being an asshole. And so I'm kinda scared that it could happen again." I say looking back at him. I see him angry and sad. He puts my head down on his chest again and starts to rub my back.
"I knew I had a reason to hate him. That son of a bitch. If I could beat him up without causing trouble, I would. Roza, you don't deserve that kind of treatment. You deserve to be treated like a goddamn queen! You're amazing and you don't ever need to worry about me hurting you like that asshole did. I really like you, and if you'd allow me to, I would like to take this relationship from friends, to the next level and have a serious relationship with you. And if you don't want sex, then we don't have to have it. I understand if you don't want it, or if you don't feel comfortable yet or are not ready. We can go slow for you and when you're ready and if you want to, we can. But I want to make that moment special for you. You deserve it." He says kissing me one more time. I hug him as hard as I can and kiss him hard on the lips. "Dimitri, you are amazing. This is why I like you. Yes, we can take this relationship to the next level. And um...would you mind if I slept here? Instead of my bed? I don't really want to sleep alone now..I honestly feel safe with you, here in your arms" I say shyly while looking down away from his eyes. He laughs and take me in his arms and stands up. I look at him confused and he lays me down into my bed, climbing in after me.
"I prefer your bed honestly. That air mattress wasn't very comfortable. Are you sure you're comfortable sleeping together yet?" He asks worriedly looking down at me. I laugh and pull him down next to me. "Yes, I am sure. I like the feeling of your arms around me and honestly, it makes me feel safe. Like I said." he smiles and wraps his arms around me "So I have a question for you, will you go to prom with me?" he asks while looking down at me. I look up at him and give him a kiss, and say "Why of course Comrade. I would love to." We smile at each other and say goodnight giving each other a kiss. I fall asleep in my Russian gods arms.
A/N: Alright, there ya go! I hope I made it long enough. I was having writers block for a while and really couldn't think of anything. But I'm glad I got this chapter up! Hope you guys like it! Don't forget to review and let me know what you think! Bye for now!
