Well to start, I'm going to have to get reacquainted with my notes and what not. But don't worry readers. I've decided to finish this story although my writing style has changed somewhat. I mean I was a kid when I started writing at the age of fourteen, now I'm almost eighteen. Yikes. Let's say with being a high school senior in charge of a marketing team, STUCO, violin lessons, quiz bowl practice and meets, well as being soccer and volleyball manager, my job, and my family, and love life. Well I haven't had the time. But that is nothing you all might care about, so I accept that that is no excuse to pause my stories.
So with that said I'm picking up where I left off to finish and then be able to start some more story plots that have been floating around in my mind for quite some time now.
Now without further Aude
Chapter 8: 1 month later
A month later…
Once again I found myself on my ass, sparring with Dimitri was indeed a challenge. But it frustrated me to no end. If I couldn't stand my ground against Dimitri I would have to do 5 laps extra, but that was not what got to me. It was the fact that I had to be able to protect Lissa.
Against any and everything.
And if I couldn't beat Dimitri then how was I going to kill a Strogoi?
Drimitri was right, we had gotten lucky the time we where away from the academy. How could I have stopped my training, and let my skills grow dull. I could not and would not let Lissa down.
"I need to practice harder, I –I need to lift some more weights." I spoke aloud as my Russian boyfriend gave me a hand. Standing up I frowned and continued, "If I don't improve Headmistress wont allow me to be Lissa's guardian."
Dimitri remained silent and lifted and eyebrow at that.
"Then I probably may end up having to protect someone like- I don't know Jesse." I saw Dimitri's gaze harden. Opps. I forgot he wasn't a Jesse fan.
"Roza, you've haven't been back for even 3 months which is the time it should take to just learn the basic moves and build not even half of the stamina which you have done in less than 2 months time."
"You only say that because you think I'm hot"
"That's has nothing to do with it, if I did not genuinely believe in your progress and potential and I would say so."
I grinned slyly.
"So I take uour smile as you believing me?" Said Dimitri
Ignoring his question "You think I'm hot."
Taken aback, Dimitri composed himself and said "Im serious Rose I think you still have a lot more to give. Like unlocked potential. But you may be hot, but im a god."
I could almost see myself eyes wide, and speechless. "H-How? God?"
Laughing Dimitri gave me a serious look. "Really? You think I haven't noticed that the students who go here call me a God? Did you think I just stand there while you are at your classes, and I turn off my hearing ablitiy?"
"But that's like eavsedroping!"
"Not when I hear my name it's not," he then proceeded towards his duffle bag and got his things and I followed suit. "I mean you're going to be an official Guardian next year, youll see how it is having kids around you gossiping, and saying how you're a goddess. Well maybe not if Lissa choses not to go to college or something. But soon enough you'll know what I mean."
With that said Dimitri looked back, winked, and pushed opened one of the doors heading outside. Leaving me dumbfounded.
We may have been dating for a month but we hadn't really been lets say expressive about our feelings. Unless his knocking me down, and putting me on my ass counted. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed our sparring sessions, and id enjoy ladning him on his ass too. Or for the time being just being able to land a couple blows on him, since so far all I had been doing is blocking his blows.
But that one wink had my heart beating agasint my chest. How did I get so lucky to have him, and have him want me?
Sure I wish we could go on dates, kiss, even hold hands, being with hi-
I stopped.
"No. No. No" I was becoming a love stricken teenager. Gosh. How was I going to prove to Dimitri I was mature if I keep acting like a kid. He's a man. Ahh … I need to talk to Lissa, I need advice.
I was heading to my dorm as I slipped into her mind. I internally groaned. Nooo. She was with that creep Christian again, at the church. I don't like the guy, he just gives me a vibe. Ugh. Yet Lissa says that he gets her on some type of level. And so far they'd gone to third base. I immediately tore myself from Lissa's head. I was getting better at control this bond thing.
I shivered at the memory of remembering Lissa and Christian Ozera's last make-out session. He'd even gone so far as to sitting with us at lunch, much to my dismay, and Natalie's hyper attitude would only dampen my mood.
That iis until I got to my last training session of the day with Dimitri. He always fouind a way of making m eforget everything aside from protecting Lissa and improvingmy skills.
Dimitri, I sighed hid name dreamily.
It was then that it hit me I don't know when and I don't know how. But I was falling for my mentor.
