It's time six o' clock when I hear the knock on the door. I decided to straiten my hair, I have on skinny jeans, a red blouse, a black jacket, and black flats. When I open the door I am meet with the familiar smell of Dimitri's after shave, he is wearing jeans, boots, a black T-shirt, and his duster.
"Roza, you look beautiful." Dimitri said as he pulled a pink camellia.
I took the flower, "I should put this in water before I go."
I walked inside and Dimitri hesitantly came in behind me. I went to the kitchen and put it in a vase.
"It's beautiful Dimitri, were did you get it?" I asked as I turned to look at him.
"It took forever but I found it at this little old flower shop. I was out getting some stuff when I saw some flowers and thought of you, and I knew what I wanted to get you. Most flower shops don't have it." he said as he glanced around. His gaze landed on some pictures I put tapped to the wall.
There was one of my dad and I, one of the band, the Halloween of Lissa and I, and then there's one of Dimitri and I.
"I can't believe you still have this picture." Dimitri said as he looked at the one of him and I.
"I take them everywhere, it makes places seem more like home." I said walking up to him.
"It was before the attack, when you pulled beat me in training." he said with a smile.
"I love your smile." I thought.
"I love yours too." he said.
"Did I say that out load?" I said wide eyed.
He nodded his head and I laughed he soon joined in.
"We should head out." said Dimitri with the smile still on his face.
We headed out we walked along the outskirts of court until Dimitri finally stopped.
"We're here." he said walking in the direction of a cabin that looked a lot like the on at the Academy.
"Put this on." said Dimitri handing me a blind fold.
"Why, what are you going to do to me?" I asked with a teasing tone in my voice.
"Nothing, I did say it was a surprise didn't I?" said Dimitri teasing right back
"Dimitri you know I hate surprises!" I said putting the blind fold on.
He took my hand and lead my into the cabin. When he took the blind fold off I was in shock. The inside was beautiful it had that old cabin homey feel to it. There was a table in the middle of the room, and it had a red table cloth on it, there was white camellia petals scattered around the table. I could smell the smell of something cooking in the small kitchen of to the side, but I couldn't figure out what it was.
Dimitri took my hand in his and took me to one of the two chairs at the table, he pulled out a chair for me to sit in, which I did.
"Dimitri this all looks wonderful, you didn't have to do all this." I said while I sat down.
"I wanted to, it gave me something to look forward to." he said as he walked over to the kitchen and grabbed two plats.
"I don't know what to say, I don't think anyone has done this for me before." I said as I turned back around.
When he came to sit down he put a plate with spaghetti on it. I picked up my fork and ate, the first bite made me melt.
"Dimitri this is delicious." I said with a moan.
"It's my mother's recipe. They're some spices and stuff the Americans don't put in it." he said picking up his own fork and put some in his mouth. "Of course I don't make it as nearly as good as my mother's."
"If yours is this good then I would most likely die if I ate your mother's." I said putting some more on my fork and shoveling it into my mouth.
We made small talk for about five minutes until it was interrupted by a load ding. Dimitri got up to get it and came back with the best thing ever. Black bread!
"Dimitri I think I have fallen in love with your cooking." I said eyeing the black bread.
"Really?" he said sarcasm dripping off his voice.
"Yes, when I was in Russia your mother had to teach me how to make black bread 'cause I would eat so much, but I could never make it right." I said reaching for a piece of the mouth watering bread.
"Well I hope I made it right." he said grabbing his own piece.
After he finish that piece he got up to get the rest of the food. He brought back several Russian dishes, and let me just tell you they were to die for.
We talked as we ate I told him what it was like traveling a lot and he told me about what's been going on around here. For a while it almost felt normal, it felt like an normal date. But there was a small part of me that couldn't forget about what he said and did. I kept trying to shush the little voice in the back of my head but it just got louder.
"Why did you do it Dimitri?" I asked not being able to stand the voice and my curiosity.
It went quiet for a minute, like he was trying to figure out the right thing to say.
"I don't know." he finally said not meeting my eyes.
"How could you not know?" I question further, wanting answers.
"I guess I just thought I was doing the right thing. I guess I thought letting you go would be the best." he said glancing at me to see my reaction.
"Why would you think that? I would do anything for you. I would put my life on the line for you. I willingly tracked you across the world and brought you back." I said staring at him.
"And I know that now. If I could go back and change what I did I would do that in a heart beat. But I can't and all I can do now is gt on my knees and beg for your forgiveness." he said.
After that it grew silent and we finished eating. When we were done Dimitri walked me back to my room.
"Thank you for the dinner Dimitri." I said.
"Thank you for coming." he said.
"Goodnight." I said.
Before I could turn and open my door Dimitri pulled me to him and kissed me.
"Goodnight." he said pulling away.
