Dimitri POV
What was I doing? I must truly be going off the deep end. I was now not listening to direct orders, I just could not get myself to do it. I had come here with a file in my hand and a job to do. And I never and I mean never not completed a job. I prided myself on getting the job done and getting it done efficiently. I never got reprimanded, never did anything wrong. I was seeked out because I was the best of the best. You hired me because you wanted the job done right the first time. And the man who hired me meant business, I gave him my word to bring back his precious gem. I left knowing what had to be done, knowing I could not fail. I would not fail.
But now that I had everything where it was suppose to be I did not want to do it. I could not do it. Something about this whole thing felt wrong, and if there was something my mama taught me it was to go with my gut. So it was time I listened to it, I Dimitri Belikov, was no longer following orders and I was starting to really like it.
I had broken all the rules to this mission the moment, I walked into the marital arts studio. I did not want to follow anything the moment I laid eyes on her. The moment I started looking at her I wanted to walk out and say I could no longer do this. I had never seen anyone so beautiful. I never believed in love at first sight, and I kind of still don't but I will not lie when I say there was definitely a connection. Everything about her cried out to me.
After only a few days of talking to her I knew I was not going to do my mission. And it was not because I couldn't it was because I wouldn't. I now knew why she had left, she left to get away from her families name, I could not blame her either. I had found out Abe wanted to train her to take his place. Why any father would want that life for their daughter was beyond me. I would never do that to my children. Yes, my guardian job had been passed down in my family but I willingly took the job. I willingly wanted this life. Seeing Rose and her life I knew she wanted what she had made for herself. The mob life her father wanted her to live was not right for her. In a way it was evil to force her into it.
I promised myself to get my act together, but after what that bastard Adrian did to her, I knew I had to stay around to keep her safe. I nearly killed that fucking idiot with my bare hands, which I could do in mere seconds. No one and I mean no one treats a woman that way. Anyone can ask my father when I beat the living daylights out of him as a teenager. He thought he could boss my mother and sisters around treat then like dirt. Well I showed him that he was not the only man in the house. I still took over his job when he died but only because I had no other career and this way I knew my family would always have money.
Now I do not know how safe my family was. I slightly regretted bringing her on that damn date. I knew Abe would soon find out that I was stalling. He knew how well I worked and being here already for almost 2 weeks I knew he would start to ask questions. He had called me the moment I dropped off Rose I knew Tasha would not keep her mouth shut. I spent about 20 minutes convincing Abe that it had all been part of the plan. He finally hung up but told me if I wanted to play he would give me a month to get her home. He did not know where she lived though, that was the least Tasha could do. She was mad at me for leaving her but not mad enough to disclose my location.
Tasha had been a weak moment. Age was not on my side and I believed I would not get too many more chances to find love and start a family. When she had shown interest I had jumped in without thinking. I soon found out that we had nothing in common. She loved to shop and gossip, and hated working. She was also far too possessive for me. Always asking where I was, when I would be home, who I was with. Her jealously went too far, and she would follow me on jobs. Making me lose money and employment. I had to let her go or I would lose everything I had worked for.
To say she took it badly would be an understatement. She destroyed my apartment, my brand new Dodge Charger, and everything else she could get her hands on. I had to move far away from Russia to get away from her. But she always found me. When Abe called me offering the job I thought it would be a great escape. Away from Russia in California, but I had been so wrong. When I arrived at the home Tasha was standing by Abe's side. Apparently she was his new assistant and had told him about my amazing skills at finding people.
I tried to say no to the job just because of her, but the look in Abe's eyes told me to deal and get the job done as quickly as possible. I started looking for her and was amazed no one had found her. They did not exactly live off the radar. They had used Rose's alias last name from childhood, Hathaway. It was her mother's surname. And even better both Christian and her had used it. Everyone seemed to know them as brother and sister. They had a whole life lined up and were actually doing very well from themselves.
When I saw where she worked I could not help myself trying to get a job there. I don't know what pushed me to do it, it was something I never did. I never wanted to get close to the target, I went in got them and left. But my grandmother told me I should. She said something amazing was going to happen. I now know I should have not listened. Because my grandmother was talking about finding someone I could relate to, someone I could talk to, someone I could someday fall in love with.
Ever since I laid eyes on her, I could not look away. I was digging a very deep hole and could not find a safe way out. Although I was not scared. I wanted to see her again, get to know her better. She was amazing, beautiful, funny. She was extraordinary. And our nearly perfect date had been ruined. I knew Tasha had done it on purpose, how she found the location I have no idea. I would bet she simply followed me, and her jealousy kicked in the moment she saw Rose.
Rose. Rose. Rose. I now needed to keep her safe. I had to keep her safe, if her father got ahold of her, her life would be ruined. She deserved better. And now Tasha. She was going to ruin everything. I knew Rose recognized her last name. It was Christians last name, and Tasha was a distant relative. Though I knew he had met her on several occasions. He would have no problem recognizing her. Before his parents died Tasha would visit regularly she even forced me to go once or twice, though I never met Christian personally, thank god, cause he would recognize me.
Our date had gone so well until it was ruined. I kept calling it a date in hopes that it really was that. I did not even know if she liked me. For all I knew she just thought of me as a friend. She kept quiet a lot during times I thought she would say or try to do something. But I had to keep telling myself that maybe she did not know what to do. From what I had gathered Adrian had been her only experience with men. I just could only wish she had not given herself to him. That thought angered me and made me want to go find him and beat him senseless.
She looked amazing. Our plans had been ruined by Tasha, but I was glad she did not leave me alone with her. In a way it made me think she had been fighting for a chance with me. I do not know what possessed me to bring her to my place. I thought maybe it would show her I was interested, maybe she could see a part of me not many see. She did things to me though. I told her about my family, about myself, and I was not scared to do it. I had never opened up so much with someone. It was like I could not hide myself from her. It was scary and exhilarating at the same time. I could only wish that after today being ruined she would want to see me again.
I was brought out of my inner ranting by my phone buzzing. I opened it and smiled it was a text from Rose.
Hey maybe next time I can give you a better personal tour.- Rose
I could not help the huge grin that crossed my face. She was so innocent, but yet sexy and alluring. I wanted to answer back of course anytime. But I knew I would have to keep my distance, at least for a little while. I did not want her to be mad at me or think I was no longer interested though. I was caught between a rock and a hard place. I had to get rid of Tasha before I could see Rose alone again. So I simply answered the nicest way I could, but yet pushing back a next date.
Yes, that would be great. But I am going to be busy this next week. Maybe afterwards?- D
Yes a week, I needed a week and I could get rid of her. I knew the Tasha situation would take some time. I needed a plan to get rid of her. And I knew just how. Abe would not be happy knowing Tasha was in the way of finding his daughter. He would make her go back, but I had to try to make her go back on her own. My phone buzzed again in my hand and I knew I had answered right.
Yea of course, just let me know when and where... See you at work tomorrow- Rose
I did not want to meet up with Tasha but I knew I had to get her attention. I was so done with her craziness. This had to end and end now. I would not have her ruining my life forever. I also had another plan to work on. One to keep Rose safe, one for her to never go back to her father. Hopefully one where she would still want to have me around. Because I knew when she found out I was hired to find her she was not going to be happy. If there was one thing I was good at was planning and executing my plan and doing it well. I had to tell her, but it would have to wait. She needed to trust me more.
I picked up my phone again and reluctantly called Tasha.
"Hello Dimka, what can I do for you? Need me to come over?" She asked trying but not succeeding to sound sexy.
"No Tasha we need to talk, can you meet me Wednesday, at the harbor? At maybe noon?" I knew she would say yes. She was obsessed with me.
"Oh but of course! Should I dress up?" I rolled my eyes and tried to keep my voice calm.
"No Tasha wear whatever we just need to talk. Alright bye." I did not let her answer and I tossed the phone aside.
I pulled out my laptop and started my search. I was going to come up with the perfect plan. And nothing was going to ruin it. I just had to get rid of Tasha. Once she was gone I would work on Rose. I would gain her trust, tell her the truth, and before then end of the month I would be helping her get away, and hopefully I would be going with her. My plans never failed it was what I was good at. I made a plan and followed it carefully. Too bad I had not done that with this plan. Something told me I had already set something into motion I can only hope it would not turn out bad.
Soooo a lot of you guess right! Dimitri is, well should say was working for Abe... What do you think he is going to do? And will Rose believe him and forgive him? Review and Ill post again ASAP!
