Chapter 8
I tossed and turned all night thinking of who would mess with me?
Jesse? No he has a smart mouth but he learnt a while ago not to get on my dark side.
Ralph? No he's Jesse's little puppy.
Shane? Ryan? Camille?
All these names kept forming in my head but none of them added up.
I think it's obvious who is messing with you my inner voice said and it was obvious.
Dimitri even after he says I love you does he stop making my life suck? Hell no!
I sighed and finally rolled off of bed to get ready for the day though the day wasn't due to start for another couple of hours so I decided to read some of the books Lissa had given me to study so we could stop the queens plans for her. I had to laugh. I had been back for nearly 3 weeks and in the last couple of days Lissa and Christian are semi-talking again and he can bear to be in the same room as her. Job well done Hathaway, I praised myself as I looked at the cover of the first book.
Royal Traditions in Moroi Society. We would never find a way....
That's it! I knew that inner voice would work one day. I had the perfect plan, it would piss people off and probably gross them out, but hey we got nothing else. But I had to wait before I could tell anyone the awesomeness that is my plan. I thought about calling Dimitri back with that number, just for someone to talk to but sadly I tried and that number was disconnected. Wait...phone...phone...remember something about a phone...
Sydney I had called her yesterday to get a message to my—repressing a shudder—father.
The father that had been absent for 18 years. The father I met in Baia and had ordered me home—like I listened?—the father that, quite possibly, cares about me and I needed to believe that so he could help me. I hoped he could help me or else any plans I had for getting Dimitri back were slim to zero.
Knock! What the—
I got up and walked to my door. Who would be up at this time? Adrian? I couldn't help but smile at the thought of him visiting me for a morning make out session. I opened the door eagerly but saw it was one of the guardians that must be on duty.
"Miss Hathaway, this arrived for you today." He said then he handed me the wrapped parcel nodded and walked swiftly away.
I was holding a flat square shaped box, wrapped in write wrapping paper. I opened it immediately—thinking it was from Adrian—and got to the box. It was white and made out of the leathery plastic stuff ring boxes and stuff were made from, it also had two gold lines that ran around the box above and below the opening. I opened it and saw a simple silver heart shaped necklace that had some writing on it. I read it closely, as it was small, and saw that it said; Love never fails. Why would Adrian send me this? Unless it wasn't him.
"Love never fails..." I looked in the box again and saw a small card with a rose on the front lying in the red satin lining the box. Love D. Was all it said.
"Dammit to hell!" I shrieked. I couldn't wait any longer, I grabbed my cell phone and dialled Lissa, Eddie and Christian and told them to meet me at Adrian's room in 5 minutes, I then ran down there myself and banged so loudly that everyone probably heard.
"What the fuck?!" Adrian yelled when he opened the door then his eyes widened when he saw me. "Rose what—"
"Lissa, Eddie and Christian are on their way, I have a plan." Was all I said before stepping past him—noticing he only wore pyjama bottoms—and sat on the end of his bed. Adrian pulled a T-shirt on and came to sit beside me putting his arm possessively around my waist and pulling me closer to his side.
"Okay what?" Christian demanded when they all came in, locked the door and sat down on the sofa.
"I know what we have to do to get the queen off of our backs so we can plan this Dimitri thing—and since someone is spying on us we will give it a code name, which I have written down on this and will show you all individually making sure no one else can see it." I had named it Dimza, a mix of mine and Dimitri's nicknames Dimka and Roza, corny? Pfft like I care. All I cared about was hoping that that spy didn't get it. "Okay so you all have the name—we will not use it for the next few meetings, until I say it in fact. Anyway back to my plan, we need to find out where Victor is right? So we need to get to the court but Kirova will never let us go without reason, so here it is: Adrian and Lissa are dating, they have been for a couple months and Adrian wants to announce his love for her to the Queen, but I have a feeling the queen will not buy it unless she see's that Christian and I have moved on." I looked up registering the shock on all of their faces. "Now the queen will want to know what happened between you two" I pointed at Lissa and Christian and saw in his face and eyes that he knew where this was going "and I believe I have come up with that too."
"Okay, so what do we tell her?" Eddie asked, probably because he had no reason to be in shock like the rest of them.
"That Christian fell in love with someone else." I stated.
"Who?" Adrian practically growled he too knew where I was going with this.
"Me."
"What?!" Lissa was outraged and through the bond I could feel jealousy. She thinks I really do love him.
"Lissa it makes sense." Christian said, I think only he could calm her down.
"How, how the hell does that make sense?" she yelled at him but she had calmed down, all thoughts of jealousy gone.
"Well Christian and I spent alot of time together during the field experience and one thing led to another..." I left the rest up to her.
"Okay, I get it, sorry for that little outburst." Lissa apologized and gave me a look asking for forgiveness, I smiled at her, and then she grew confused, "How did Adrian and I fall for each other?"
"Great question." Adrian asked sounding annoyed.
"Well you were both heartbroken when Christian and I told you we were in love and you were there to comfort each other and again one thing led to another..."
"It's perfect!" Christian exclaimed.
"Except for one thing." When I said this they all looked at me like I had just declared I was wearing a clown costume and pouring peanut butter on myself. "Everyone here knows Adrian and I are a thing so..."
"Wait! Are you telling me that we can't be together anymore?" Adrian asked sounding really bothered by this.
"No, but we can't be seen being all coupley in front of anyone but this little group, at least until we get the court over and done with."
"No, I'm not going to lie about how I feel about you." Adrian was starting to make me—and everyone else—uncomfortable. We never talked about how we felt about each other.
"Adrian, can we talk about this later? When you know we're alone." This made him angry.
"Why? Why can't I tell them how I feel about you? Are you ashamed? Embarrassed? What is it?"
"Because it doesn't matter! Adrian I have already told you that if we succeed in bringing Dimitri back then there is no us there is no Adrian and Rose there will be Rose and Dimitri and that's how it's going to stay." I could feel that Lissa was shocked that I was with Adrian knowing I was going to do this, but she was more shocked at the fact that he knew as well.
"And I told you I. Don't. Care." He said through gritted teeth.
"Adrian, you have to stop! We all need to be together on this so that the plan can work. Are we all agreed?" they all nodded, Adrian eventually did quite reluctantly but there must have been something he saw in my eyes that made him change his mind.
"Guy's can Rose and I have a minute?" Adrian asked and I think there were relieved to leave.
"What is it Adrian?" I asked when he got off the bed to sit on the couch opposite me.
"I want you to know that I don't love Lissa okay?" He asked sounding worried that I thought he did love Lissa.
"I know, and I don't love Christian, so it's all good." I replied heading for the door.
"Rose, I want you to consider something for me."
"And what might that be?"
"Consider choosing me" he put a hand up when I opened my mouth to start screaming at him. "Just please consider it, when all this is over, just think about it." He then placed a light kiss on my lips before taking my hand and walking out with me, when we got to the entrance of the guest quarters he—reluctantly—let go of my hand and headed in the direction of the commons with me at his side. "Well might as well start now" he muttered.
When we arrived at the cafeteria I saw that Lissa had an empty seat next to her, obviously meant for Adrian, and Christian had an empty seat next to him, obviously for me. I grabbed a donut, a glass of orange juice and some choc chip pancakes and then headed over to sit next to Christian who kissed me lightly and lovingly on the cheek—what an act. I felt a strong stab of jealousy coming from Lissa and I could see it in Adrian's eyes so I kicked them both under the table, they looked irritated by that so I whispered to them so no one else could hear. "Play the part." And I kissed Christian on the cheek also. I could feel rather than see people staring at us but I could care less. I looked at both Lissa and Adrian and gave them a look that said hurry-the-fuck-up-or-the-plan-is-doomed they caught this, turned towards each other and lightly kissed each other's lips and boy did that make me jealous or what?
"So Adrian when's the court visit?" I asked trying for normal, but I couldn't help the little bit of jealousy that crept into my voice.
"Later today actually." He replied, beaming because I was jealous.
"How did you manage that?" I asked I had seen him the whole time since coming up with this plan.
"I have my ways" he replied.
"Aren't you a little sneaky devil?" Lissa said trying to play the part.
"That is one of the many reasons you love me." Adrian replied lightly kissing her on the nose.
I felt Christian tense next to me. This plan may be the only thing to work but it was pissing off a lot of people. I turned to Christian and kissed him passionately on the lips, when I pulled away he looked bemused and Adrian and Lissa looked pissed off! I winked at Christian then got up and left to go to my room.
As I was walking Adrian caught up to me.
"I don't like this." He said when he finally reached me, panting a bit.
"Well neither do I, but it's all we can do right now. I'm sorry." I said, I could tell it was hurting him seeing me like that with Christian even though he knew we didn't feel that way about each other, it just made it a whole lot worst considering he would have to watch me do that with someone I do love.
He sighed. "Well we are leaving in about half an hour, okay?"
"Okay." I replied, but when he turned from me I grabbed his wrist and kissed him with everything I had, knowing this would be the last time I was going to kiss his lips. It was a perfect goodbye. He kissed back in an instant and had me up against the wall arms around my waist. We both pulled away for air, he gave me a cocky grin and walked off and I whispered—low enough so he wouldn't hear; "Goodbye." And then I went to my room to pack.
Next chapter the court visit.
Just a few more until Rose and Dimitri are back together again, YAY!
I already know how I'm going to re-unite them hehe
