Chapter 10
In the next couple days, all I could think about was Rose. I kept seeing her in her bra and jeans.
It was unbelievably frustrating.
Why couldn't she have been in her room instead of with that Zeklos boy? None of this would have happened if I hadn't been assigned to mentor her.
But did I really want her to be sent off or mentored by someone else?
No. Absolutely not.
I found myself watching her before and after practice. How had I never realized how beautiful she was?
Soon, inappropriate images filled my head. Rose and I in bed…kissing…
How did this start happening? I was insane not to leave now while I had the chance. I could tell then I couldn't guard Lissa. I should leave.
But I couldn't bring myself to.
True to her word, Rose was coming earlier to practice and staying later. She didn't complain about the amount of work I had her doing.
It was so damn hard to stay professional. I had no right to feel this way. So why did I? What was it about Rosemarie Hathaway?
I was walking across the quad when one of the instructors, Nagy, caught up with me.
"Belikov. Just wanted to congratulate you on your handling of Hathaway."
What the hell? "What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about finding her and Jesse Zeklos. She and the Dragomir girl were passing notes in my class. She said you 'bitched her out'. Good job. That girl gets away with too much."
"I didn't bitch her out," I denied. "We discussed why she shouldn't do what she was doing."
He gave me a look and called out a goodbye. He went back toward his room.
So, everyone found out anyway. By the end of the day, there were going to be some nasty rumors about Rose. At least no one knew about the way I was looking at Rose.
I sighed, wishing I could somehow protect Rose.
