Hey, I'm back! I think I will be able to start updating often again. I'm excited. Oh and as I mentioned in my other story you can also reach me in face book. com /dimkas . chick. And thanks to everyone who have already added me as their friends. You guys are awesome. Oh and thanks for all the reviews. I hope you like this chapter.

I own nothing. Only the plot and Vlad.

Dimitri opened the trunk from the inside and Vlad stood there with eyes wide open.

"Seriously babe, you bought the whole mall?"

"Hey it wasn't me, Blame Liss"

"Sorry, I just couldn't help my self, you know how I get" she walked up next to us and smiled sheepishly.

"It's alright Lissa, guess I shouldn't be surprised" He chuckled.

"Alright let's get al this stuff in" I said and everyone grabbed a couple of bags.

We walked inside and found Alberta and Eddie sitting on the couch, Christian was just walking down the stairs.

"Hey babe" He went up to Liss and gave her a kiss.

"How was the shopping trip? Sorry I missed it"

"Yea, right, you know you didn't want to go, but don't worry Sparky, you're coming next time. And thanks for the help guys." I looked towards Alberta and Eddie.

"Oh, sorry, did you still need help" Eddie got up. I glared at him.

"No, we're done now" I said. Guess I was still in a bad mood.

"Come on babe, you're obviously upset about what happened last night" Vlad said. I froze and looked at him. From the corner of my eye I saw Lissa and Dimitri looking our way.

"Last night…" I trailed off.

"Yea, getting stranded in a motel room, I can't imagine those beds being comfortable at all" Vlad said

"You'd be surprise how comfortable they can be" Dimitri said looking at me.

"Oh, well let's go upstairs, I'm sure you want a bath and get some rest." He took me in his arms and held me close.

"Yea, let's go. Oh there's something we need to talk about" I told him. He frowned but nodded anyway.

"Ok, let's go." He said and took my hand.

"I'll see you guys in a little bit." I waved and turned away.

Good luck Rose. Liss said through the bond. I nodded.

We made our way to his room, no one would be up here in a while, and I'm sure Lissa is telling everyone what's gonna happen. They all knew, Vlad was the only one in the dark.

"Now for that shower Roza" he said and wrapped his arms around me. I hugged him back and decided to hold off on our conversation till later. Right now I just needed to be with him.

He took my clothes of slowly and I did the same to his. We walked towards the shower, well more like stumbled in there, never breaking the kiss. I felt my back hit the shower door when he finally broke away.

"I missed you Rose" he smiled and kissed me again. "Let me make it up to you" he stroked my hair. I grinned and placed another kiss on his lips, slowly trailing down to his neck, then his chest. I heard him take a deep breath.

"I certainly missed that. Now let's take this inside the shower" he said and turned around and fiddled with the knobs trying to adjust the water temperature. I wrapped my arms from behind him and glided them over his chest and abs.

"Have I told you what an amazing body you have?" I said seductively. I was now trailing kisses up and down his back.

"Yes you have, about as many time as I've told you the same thing." He turned around and kissed me. The kiss was passionate and soon I let myself get lost in the feel of his kisses.

We walked out an hour later, towels wrapped around us. We were now very relaxed.

"Come on, let's lay down and relax" I pulled him towards the bed. I pushed him on the mattress then followed right behind him. I lay there on his chest with his arms wrapped around me for god knows how long.

"Vlad?"

"Yes Rose?" he was stroking my arm.

"There's something I need to tell you" I lifted myself up a little so I can get a look at his face.

"Ok, you know you can tell me anything"

"Before I do, promise me you'll wait till I'm finished."

"Ok, I promise. Rose what's wrong? I'm starting to get a little worried"

"I've never wanted to hurt you Vladimir; I want you to know that." Now he sat up and his eyes were now piercing mine.

"What's going on Rose?"

"You know how I told you about my old mentor?" I said slowly.

"Yes, the one you fell in love with right before you and I got together. You said he left as soon as the relationship started. What does that have to do with anything?" he had a frown on his face.

"Dimitri…" was all I said. I looked up to see him, my eyes were pleading for him not to hate me. He seemed deep in thought. Then realization hit him.

"Dimitri was your mentor" it wasn't a question. I looked down and nodded. I felt the bed shift and he was off the bed starting to get dressed.

"Vlad, please, wait…" I tried to grab his arm. He pulled it away.

"Why didn't you tell me Rose!" He practically screamed and I actually flinched.

"Because in the beginning it didn't matter. Who cared at that point who was my mentor? You didn't care. I never imagined ever seeing him again. What was the point in telling you?"

"Why tell me now?" he had his pants on.

"Because I don't want to lie to you Vlad, I care about you, and I didn't want you to find out later and then you would hate me. Not that it matters because you do anyways." I was looking down. I felt him sit next to me and then he lifted my chin.

"Rose, I don't hate you. I'm just upset that you kept this from me" he got up again and started pacing. I got up too and got dressed.

"Did you guys… in the motel…" he looked at me with a little worry.

"No! Of course not Vlad, I would never do that to you" He smiled and placed a hand on my cheek.

"Do you still want to be with me?" his smile faltered a little.

"Of course I want to be with you, and only you. I didn't tell you this because I wanted to break up with you, I'm telling you this because I want to be as honest as possible. I wanna make this work Vlad."

"I want to make this work too Rose. I know that we don't love each other, and that this relationship is probably nowhere near what you two had, but I really like you Rose, there's something about you" he was looking in my eyes. Searching.

"I want to be with you too. And I know what you mean, there something about you too, that I can't seem to let go of" I caressed his cheek. He came closer and kissed me softly. I leaned into him and kissed him back. We finally broke apart a few minutes later.

"Thank you, for not walking away" I said.

"I told you, I'm not him. I won't walk away from you" he took me over to the bed and sat next to me.

"Tell me everything Rose. I know it's none of my business, but I would like to know what happened between you two. All you told me was that you were in love and then he just left." I looked down but nodded, he had a right to know.

"Ok. Well we met when he captured Lissa and me back in Portland. I'm sure you already know that" he nodded and motioned for me to continue.

"There isn't much to say. We both felt a connection from that very first time. We tried very hard to keep our feeling to ourselves. We knew we couldn't be together; at least that's what he told me. And I guess it made sense. As time went by it was getting harder for us to keep denying our feelings. We would have the occasional stolen kiss, Viktor Dashkov even had a lust spell put on us so that we would give into our feelings; we almost had sex that night."

"But you didn't" he said, looking for an answer.

"No" I shook my head and I could see him relax a little more.

"Ok, then…" he pressed.

"Well we continued our trainings and we could both visibly see that it was only a matter of time before we both gave in. One night Jesse Zeklos and his friend Ralf were torturing Lissa, and she got really upset. You know how the darkness works right?" He nodded.

"Well that night I took the darkness away from her, but that just left me with a lot of anger and need to kill. Alberta told Dimitri to go calm me down. He took me to the cabin out in the woods. That night we both finally gave in to our feelings and made love." He was now looking down, taking in everything that I told him.

"You told me that you guys never really had a relationship; that he left. Now you're saying you guys were sleeping with each other?" He was visibly mad, his hands we in fists.

"We didn't have a relationship Vlad. He left me the day after he had sex with me to be with Tasha" I looked down and I could feel tears starting to well up in my eyes.

"That fucking asshole, how could he sleep with you and leave you the next day to be with someone else!" he was now standing and pissed as hell.

"It doesn't matter" I said in a low voice.

"Of course it does" was all he said before he stormed out of the room.

"Vlad!" I yelled and tried to catch up to him but he was already gone. Shit!

I finally caught up to him and he was already down stairs. Everyone looked expectant, I'm sure they were already expecting this. I saw Vlad make eye contact with Dimitri, who was sitting on the couch. But before he could fully stand up, Vlad's fist made contact with Dimitri's nose, effectively sitting him back down.

LPOV

We all walked into the house and as always Rose started arguing with Christian. We were all inside now and Tasha and Dimitri had put the bags on the floor in front of them. They were both looking at the exchange between Rose and Vlad. I could tell that Dimitri was pissed; his hands were clenched on his side.

"Come on babe, you're obviously upset about what happened last night" Vlad told her. I was looking at her and from the corner of my eye I could see that Dimitri was too.

"Last night…" Rose trailed off. She seemed nervous. Did Vlad know? How?

"Yea, getting stranded in a motel room, I can't imagine those beds being comfortable at all" He said. Rose relaxed automatically, as did I.

"You'd be surprise how comfortable they can be" Dimitri said looking right at Rose. Oh my god, what was he doing! I stared at him wide eyed.

"Oh, well let's go upstairs, I'm sure you want a bath and get some rest." He took Rose in his arms and held her close.

"Yea, let's go. Oh there's something we need to talk about" She told him. He frowned but nodded anyway. Oh boy, now things were going to get interesting.

"Ok, let's go." He said and took her hand.

"I'll see you guys in a little bit." she told us and turned away.

Good luck Rose. I sent through the bond. She nodded and I don't think anyone missed that.

"Well this is going to be interesting" I said and walked to the couch with Christian in tow.

"Yes, very interesting" Adrian added with a smirk. He was smiling at Dimitri, who just stood off to the side, looking towards the stairs. No doubt he knew what Rose was doing. I thought I saw sadness in his eyes.

"Do you really think she'll tell him?" Eddie asked.

"Rose doesn't want to lie to him anymore, and she wants to do things right with him" Alberta said. I couldn't help but notice that she glanced at Dimitri while she said this. He still didn't say anything.

"What do you think Vladimir's gonna do?" Christian asked a bit excitedly.

"Christian! This isn't the time for games, this is serious" I scolded him.

"I bet he'll kick Dimitri's ass" Adrian said.

"Nah, I doubt he'll take it to those extremes" Eddie said.

"I wouldn't be so sure, not when it comes to his Roza" Alberta added. Dimitri finally broke the silence.

"She's not his Roza" He said through clenched teeth.

"Well she certainly isn't yours" Adrian told him.

"I wouldn't talk about things you don't know Ivashkov" Dimitri glared at him.

"Dimka… maybe you should go upstairs and rest" Tasha said nervously. I think she knew too what Vlad would do.

"Yes Dimitri, I think it would be best if you went upstairs to your room" I told him too.

"I'm not going anywhere to hide. He can do and say whatever he wants. I'm not going to pretend that I don't love her."

"You what!" Eddie said. "But you left her?"

"I'm not going to explain my actions to anyone. I messed up and I did what I did. She knows why now and that's all that matters."

"So why wait here for him to come beat you up if she knows already?" Eddie continued.

"Because I want her back, and I will get her back"

"You're a damn fool Belikov" Alberta said, now she was staring straight at him. Hmm maybe he should be worried about her.

"Alberta, lets not make the situation any worse, what happens between them is between them." She nodded.

"Should we go?" Christian said.

"You seriously want to miss this?" Eddie butted in again.

"He's right, we get front row seats." Adrian put in his two cents in.

"We're staying here to try to assuage the situation, not make it worse Castile" Alberta said.

"Yea, sorry"

We were all sitting around the living room, just waiting for something to happen. I mean we could all guess what was going on. They were making up for lost time. Dimitri never took his eyes off the stairs. This must be hard for him; to love Rose but know that she's up there with another guy. To Roses defense, he brought it on himself. He couldn't blame her for moving on.

After about an hour of them having left we finally heard something.

"Why didn't you tell me Rose!" It didn't sound too loud down here, but if we heard it, then he was yelling. Dimitri stood up.

"Dimka, where are you going?" Tasha put a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm not going to stand here and let him yell at her. I should be there with her." He started walking towards the stairs.

"Dimitri they need to work out their own problems, she can handle herself" I told him. He looked at me then at the stairs again. He nodded and went back to sit down.

It seemed like an eternity before we heard the door open. I saw Vlad coming down stairs with a serious expression. Then his eyes landed on Dimitri. He was starting to get up but Vlad went up to him and punched him square on the nose. Blood started squirting out.

"Vlad!" Rose came rushing down the stairs and held him from behind.

"You fucking asshole; how could you do that to her?" Vlad yelled at him, trying to go for Dimitri again. I just stood there shocked. Dimitri had his hand to his nose trying to stop the bleeding.

"That's none of your fucking business" Dimitri said to him.

"The hell it is!" Vlad got out of Roses grip and rushed Dimitri. Dimitri saw him coming and ducked out of the way but not before pinning him on the ground. They struggled on the ground while Alberta, Eddie and Rose tried to stop them. I saw Dimitri land a punch to the side of Vladimir's face.

Finally they were able to break them apart.

"Vlad stop!" Rose used her guardian voice. He automatically stood up straight and controlled his breathing.

"I can't make everyone leave, But you won't get near her again, is that understood?" There was anger laced in his voice. I could actually hear the Russian in it.

"Don't tell me what I can or can't do." Dimitri took a step forward and so did Vlad.

"Cool it!" Rose said again. Dimitri looked at her but then stepped back.

"Come on Dimka, let's get you cleaned up" Tasha tugged on his arm. Wow his nose looked broken; I might have to heal it later, when things cool off. Dimitri followed her into the kitchen.

"Come on Vlad lets go" Rose said in a clipped tone, not glancing his way. She was walking towards the stairs and he stopped her.

"I'm sorry Rose, I shouldn't have lost control like that, but what he did…"

"Vlad…" she took a deep breath and let it out loudly.

"Let's go upstairs" She pushed him towards the stairs and followed behind him. Before she reached the top she looked down towards the kitchen where Dimitri was. There was sadness in her eyes.

I gave her a reassuring smile and she followed behind him.

"Well that was interesting" Adrian said with a smirk on his face.

"There was nothing interesting about that Adrian. Dimitri has a broken nose, and Vladimir probably has a black eye" I said exasperated.

"I know that's why it was interesting." He laughed.

"Dude, I forgot how strong Dimitri was, that man is a tank! Took me and Alberta to hold him down" Eddie said.

"I know; I'm surprised Rose was able to hold Vladimir back" Christian said.

"How long are we staying here?" Adrian asked.

"2 weeks" Christian was smiling.

"Excellent" he grinned.

"Stop it now, both of you." I told them.

"I think we should all go to our rooms and get some rest. We'll see what happens tomorrow" Alberta spoke.

"OK" they all said.

"I'll wait here, till Rose is done" Eddie said. Just then Rose was at the top of the stairs.

"Liss?"

"Yea Rose" I walked over to her.

"Can you come here please?"

"What's going on Rose? Is he ok?" I was a bit worried

"Yea, but he has a really bad black eye. Do you think you can heal him?" She asked with a small voice.

"Yea, of course" I stepped into the Room and got a good look at Vladimir. Wow I've never seen anything so black before. I tried to compose myself but he saw my expression.

"I guess its bad then" he said in a clipped tone.

"Babe its fine, it can be fixed" Rose said and went to sit on his lap. He held her to him and kissed her shoulder. Looks like things were ok between them.

"Ok, lets get this healed" Vladimir nodded and I went up to him and placed my hand on his eye. A few seconds later it started fading until it was completely gone.

"Thanks Lissa" He said.

"No problem Vladimir, hope you feel better."

"I do, and sorry you had to see that down there…"

"Don't worry; I just hope we can spend the rest of our time here in peace, ok?"

"I will do my utmost to control myself" He said solemnly.

"Ok, I'll see you guys tomorrow, we're all going to bed." I told them.

"Ok, I'll be right out too, Eddie needs to sleep, and you too Vlad"

"Yes, I think that was enough excitement for one night" he told her.

"I'll be right outside" I said and stepped out. A few minutes later she walked out too.

"Everyone still down there?" She asked me.

"Yea, but were calling it quits"

"How is he? I feel so bad" she asked me.

"His nose is definitely broken. Tasha is trying to clean up the blood." She nodded.

"Ok guys, we should all go get some rest, we'll make plans for tomorrow in the morning" I told them.

"Eddie you can sleep in your room, I'm staying in with Alberta." Rose told him.

"Ok, I'll see you guys tomorrow" Eddie said and made his way upstairs.

"I'm out too" Albert said.

"Good night little Dhampir, sweet dreams" he winked at me.

"You better stay out Adrian" Rose warned him. He shook his head.

"Ok, well were going too Rose, see you tomorrow"

"Yea, see you. I just wanna talk to him real quick, I'll be right up"

"Of course" I told her and gave her a quick hug.

I couldn't help but think "Two more weeks of this."
