Chapter 9:
Dpov
I shut off my alarm clock before it could go off, I had woken up a few minutes before I needed to and decided to just get up and get ready for the day. Today was going to be fun for the most part, being the first day of school, however what I was looking forward to the most was also what I was dreading.
Rosemarie Hathaway – Mazur was going to be in my third period English class for the year. I was completely and totally in love with the young woman but her being seven years my junior, and most likely someone else's beshert I had to keep my distance. Which is why I was also dreading today because she now hated me because of my cold demeanor towards her.
I wasn't always cold to her, hell we were close once and actually liked each other. Then I became a teacher at her school and tried to keep my distance but I didn't always succeed at it, after finding her and that boy last year and almost killing him however I made the decision to keep away from her and because of that she hates me.
I know I deserve it, but I wish it was different and we were still close.

I wasn't surprised when she showed up late and mouthed off to me, I knew something like that was coming so I gave her detention. I'm not going to lie if it were anyone else I probably would've let it go since it was the first day but I couldn't let the opportunity to spend time alone with her go.
After school when she showed up she immediately took out a copy of the play we were reading and I pretended to be surprised by her reading, even though I knew she loved reading and only wanted people to think she hated it.
Tasha stopped by and I couldn't be happier that Rose was there otherwise I would have had to spend more time with the devil incarnate herself.
The week passed much the same, after school detention with Rose and Tasha trying to get my attention.
Then came the invitation to Rose's 18th birthday party, I was excited seeing as I bought her a special necklace that I knew she'd love even though it was from me.
I wasn't disappointed at her reaction, though trying not to kiss her was incredibly hard she was stunning, she was dressed up and all I could think of was making her mine.

It was Tuesday after school and I was just finishing up grading the quizzes I had given today when there was a knock at my door.
"Yeva! I wasn't expecting you." I said to the old woman standing in the doorway to my class room.
"Expect to work hard and you will receive what you've always wished for." She said with a nod.
She then kissed my forehead and left, I knew better then to question her seeing as she wouldn't give me any clue as to what she was talking about anyways.
I then headed home for the night, looking forward to relaxing though all I ended up doing was thinking about what on earth Yeva could have meant, I guess I would find out soon enough.

The next day I woke up with a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach, like something bit was going to happen but what I had no idea.
I went about my day like normal, even with this weird feeling nagging at me until third period. I looked up and the moment I looked at Rose a mark appeared. No fucking way! I was shocked, frozen to my place with the realization that Rose was now officially mine.
"What the fuck!" Rose yelled looking at me.
I'm pretty sure she asked something first but I missed it.
"I'm going to let that go seeing as this is a surprise to us both. Class let's all settle down, we will be watching a movie today. Rose please stay after class, and Vika please take a note with you to your next class explaining why Rose will be late." I said calmer then I thought I would.
Rose sat down looking dazed, and I decided to move watching a mid summers nights dream to now instead of Friday. I put it on and sat down needing a moment to think.
I saw her get up and walk out quickly so I called out and told Lissa and Vika to follow her. I then stepped out of the class room and quickly called Rose's parents to let them know what had happened. They couldn't be more ecstatic about this and told me they would be home tomorrow and make sure Rose's things were packed and ready by the end of the day. I also let them know I would be taking Rose home as soon as she came out of the bathroom to talk.
Once done there I called mamma and she was just as happy and wanted me to come over as soon as I could.
The bell was about to ring so I went and let the class know there was no homework and called the office to fill them in before going and waiting by the girls bathroom for Rose since I knew she'd try and evade me otherwise.
"Rose." I called seeing her leave the bathroom.
"Look I need to get to class, so I will come to your classroom after school so we can talk." She lied.
I know she heard me tell Vika to give her next teacher a note.
"Oh no you don't! I know you better then that, I called your parents and the headmistress were going to my apartment." I told her.
"You! Called! My! Parents!?" She yelled.
I smirked at her and nodded my head, I knew she wouldn't like that but I knew she wouldn't be telling anyone on her own.
"Seriously Roza make this easier on us both and just come with me now."
She huffed, but started towards the exit.
The car ride was silent and I want surprised we were both in our heads thinking about what all this means.
We got to my apartment and she looked around and I realized she'd never been here before. She was looking at my pictures now and I realized that she was starring at the pictures of her. Ops I forgot that I had all those, that's a bit embarrassing.
"Make yourself at home, want some hot chocolate?" I asked trying to turn her attention away from the pictures.
"Um, sure thanks." She said as I walked into the kitchen.
"Nervous?" I asked in her ear coming back into the room.
"Argh! You scared the shit out of me." She yelled jumping.
I laughed and sat down handing her, her cocoa.
She tasted it and moaned in appreciation, I don't think she realized she was doing it but it immediately made me hard as a rock. I had to readjust myself discreetly as possible.
"The secret is doubling the amount of cocoa." I told her.
"Huh?"
"The perfect hot cocoa."
"Oh."
"Before I forget you forgot this in class yesterday." I said, handing her the copy of pride and prejudice she left in my classroom yesterday. It was the copy I gave her for her birthday years ago.
"Oh thanks I hadn't realized it was missing." She said with a grateful look on her face.
"I would ask if you were reading ahead for our next book but I can see its not that."
"So we're beshert. .." She said trying to change to the subject.
"I guess I should start with that your parents told me they would have your staff pack your room up and by the time your home it should be done. On the bright side they are extremely happy about this." I told her.
" You can have whichever room you want, I know this isn't what you want but can we at least be civil?" I asked.
"Dimitri we hate each other, how are we supposed to live together? I mean seriously think about this! Plus your my teacher, who happens to have me in detention all the time for one thing or another. Hell I've been in detention more then I haven't and it's not even a month into the school year." She said.
I can't believe she really believes that, yeah I might have acted like an ass but it was because I loved her.
"First off I do not hate you! The rest we will figure out, they can't do much about this at school because we have no choice in the matter. Also even if they wanted to and there are ways they could do something to prevent us being in the same class and stuff, they won't because of our marks." I said trying to calm my temper.
"I don't believe you, ever since you left for college four years ago, you acted either nice like when we were young or completely cold. Then last year after well you know you were cold and that's it."
"Roza, I don't hate you at all but right now is not the time to discuss that. For one thing it's a lot to discuss and for another you aren't ready to hear it."
I could tell she was confused.
"What do you mean about our marks?"
" You know the basics of all marks, like what's common and not, right?"
She nodded.
"Well I did my thesis on our marks, and well ours are rare, and I mean crazy rare. The lightning bolts are rare not to mention in the X shape and in gold. The hibiscus flower is the rarest flower and hot pink is the rarest color aside from gold and silver. The blood red tear drop is only seen once a generation and all bit one thing being outlined in black only happens once in a hundred years and there are some crazy stories that go along with it. The neon yellow outlining the lightning bolts X is the same color that the others had in the same instances, we also have the silver and black base mark. Last but certainly not least is the rose thorns on our base marks, there is no record of that ever happening."
" Okay rare marks aside, what do you mean weird stories?"
"I don't think there true so don't worry about it, and if they are well yeah."
I'm truly screwed if there true seeing as she so doesn't need to know I've been in love with her since we met.
"Wait what did you just say?"
"I don't think there true so don't worry about it?" I repeated.
"No the part about being in love with me?"
Wait what?! Did I accidentally say that out load?
"I didn't say that, I just said the stories probably aren't true. So what are you talking about?"
Shit did she just hear my thoughts?
"Yeah, um care to explain?"
'What the fuck is going on? Am I really hearing his thoughts?'
"Language Roza!" I snapped deep in thought.
"What? I didn't say anything! You have to be fucking me! You heard my thoughts didn't you?"
"This complicates things a bit, at least this is the weirdest thing I read about in the stories."
"What were the other thing's?"
"Just epic love, magic, things like that."
If only I knew she loved me in the same way I loved her.
"We need to figure out how to block our thoughts, we could try and think in our native language?"
'That would work if I didn't know yours, I mean I can speak two other languages that he doesn't know plus the two he does so I'm good.'
'Shit! He so just heard that.'
Hearing her thoughts was so weird, but not much different then when she speaks out loud.
"Yes, yes I did! Do you mean to tell me all of these years when I spoke in Rinian you knew what I was saying?" I said irritated now.
I saw her blush , it was so cute, I could think of other… stop it she can hear you!
"Yeah well Vika might have taught me and Liss when we were kids in secret."
"Of course she did, well at least the stories say that they were able to eventually block it out."
"What do we do until then? I can think in other languages but I tend to think in the language I speak. I really don't want to accidentally start speaking in Trikish or Irlish, I've done it before and it's embarrassing not to mention people have no clue what I'm saying, well other then my parents and bodyguards."
"I guess we will just have to learn it the hard way."
She nodded and thought about how she wanted to go home.
"I'll take you home so you can finish packing and get some rest, you have a test tomorrow on top of everything else. Your parents said they'd be back tomorrow so they could see you off. I am sorry Rose I know this isn't what you want, unfortunately there isn't anything we can do. Now that you know that I don't hate you can we try and at least get along?" I asked feeling heat rise on my cheeks.
I then showed her around and the different rooms she could pick from, I could tell by her thoughts and actions that she loved the hot pink and black room that I let Vika decorate. Though she ended up picking the one furthest from my room that was also the smallest. I knew she wanted the other room but it was next to mine. So here we were standing in the small one with her saying she wanted it.
We then left, the not as bad as the one earlier.
"I have five missed calls from mamma, three from Vika and texts from both Karolina and Sonya so I'm assuming your right." I said as I looked at my beeping phone again.
She laughed thinking about the grilling she would get from her friends and brother.
"You have no idea, I'm sure they knew we would end up together, mamma talked to me when we met and said you were special and not to be a dick." I said laughing.
She laughed then thought about how I was a dick, I got angry at myself for that because she was right.
We got to her house and as she was getting out I had a thought, I grabbed her arm to stop her.
"Wait, let's not tell anyone about this bond, at least not yet okay?"
"That's fine with me, huh I wonder if we can only hear each other when we're together or will we be able to hear them all the time."
"I'm not sure but we're about to find out."
She just nodded and left, I put my car in reverse to go next door and talk with my family. I heard her think about how at least she wasn't the only one getting the fifth degree. I laughed and thought.
No your not, and I guess we know that we can still hear each other in direct house's.
The rest of the day was full of I told you so's and squealing from the women in my family. I did get my mama alone for a minute where she assured me that Rose would eventually come around and to just be patient.
xXx
The next few days were much the same us hearing the others thoughts and it being embarrassing.
I did get to comfort her at one point when she found out a friend was injured in a direct country. I think it brought us closer and showed her that I do really care.
I helped her pack up the rest of her books, seeing as I was the only one who knew about them, much to her dismay. I did love that I knew her so well even before this bond.
Then the worst thing ever happened followed by something not so bad, I had a sex dream about Rose her first night in her new home! I was mortified at myself, yeah I'd had them before more times than I could count but no one else knew about them.
However during class Rose started thinking about kissing me and I caught her staring at my lips too. Then she was fighting with herself about if she still had feelings for me left over from she was little. At least I knew she had at one point felt something for me, which means that I might not have to work as hard to win her heart.
