Chapter 10: In Love?
Disclaimer: Yeah, yeah, yeah I know I don't own anything..o wait!.. nope nothing
Dimitri POV
" So Dimka, I know you thought about my offer. So what's the real reason you didn't accept?" Tasha said as she turned to me with her hands on her hips
Damn. Damn. Damn. What am I going to tell her. I can't tell her the truth can I? Or could I? We are close friends.. well let's try. O yeah Tasha I don't really love you, well I love you but I'm not in love with you. I was trying to see if I could get over rose. Yeah I was basically using you. And I didn't except your offer because I don't care for you like that except a friend. O yeah and did I mention I'm in love with my 17 year old student who hates you guts?. Yep not gonna happen. Now what am I going to do?. I could kick her out or I could lie.. no she's a good friend and she deserves to now the truth. Here goes nothing.
" well, Tasha I'm just not into you like that" I say honestly as I hand her a cup of hot chocolate
"why not Dimka, you didn't seem to think that over Christmas" she said as she starred at me
" well, see that's the thing. I never was. And I would appreciate if we could just be friends" I say and hope she drop it. Not a chance
" just friends Dimka? I think I'm missing something. Your lying and you know it" she said as she narrowed her eyes at me. I look at rose who was starting to stir and motioned to Tasha to keep it down.
" alright, fine I didn't except your offer because I'm not in love with you I'm in love with someone else" I said as I stood up in front of her
" who is it, because I would sure like to now" she said causing rose to wake up and start crying. I walked over and picked her up.
" what's the matter roza?" I coo as I rock her back and forth. She wrapped her arms around me and rests her head in the crook of my neck.. I notice Tasha staring at me in shock
" O My God. Your in love with aren't you. It's her" she says and walks over to me. I gently lay rose back down on the bed as she fell back asleep
" yes, it's her and before you say anything I know she's under than me but rose understands responsibly and duty people twice her age don't get. She also get's me like no one else. Not even you" I say as I watch her carefully
" well that's something. I only have one thing to say. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING DIMITRI?. Your her teacher. Her mentor. And she's your student. This is illegal" she says and throws he hands up in the air. Well their goes her accepting it.
" I know that. I also know that were made for each other. Regardless of her age. I know were both going to become guardians and I also know that guardian's can't be together. Which is why we already worked this out. We both know what were getting our self's into. And as for illegal, in a couple of months that won't matter." I say calmly
" how can you say this so calmly Dimka? This isn't right and you know it. You'll slow her down on her road to be a good guardian and become Lissa's guardian" she said and crossed her arms
" you can't choose who you fall in love with. Love like this only comes once a life time" I said and smiled as I remember rose telling me those exact same words. "And as for slowing her down I don't think so. Once again rose knows this she also knows that she'll protect Lissa against all calls" I say defensively
" you don't know that you-" I cut her off
" I would think you of all people would understand where I'm going from. Don't you care about me? Enough to let me be happy" I ask her as I take a step toward her
" of course I care about you. And I'll back off. After all were not " soul mates" she said brokenly as a tear came down her eye
" look Tasha, you one of my best and closest friends we have a easy and natural friendship. But rose I don't know she understands me and gets me like no one else. Like I do her. You'll find somebody that loves you back" I say as I look into her eyes and see pain and sadness. I open my arms as I hug her
" I know Dimka, and I'm happy for you. I love you" she said as she looked up at me
" I love you too Tasha, just not in the same way" I said as she nodded and kissed me on the cheek as she stepped out of my embrace
" so where-" she started but a little voice but her off
" miti?" rose said as she clutched her teddy bear on the bed as her bottom lip begin to tremble
" awe roza" I cried as I moved to pick her up but she moved away from me and started to cry. I looked back at Tasha who had regret on her face.
" I'm sorry Dimka, I didn't know she was awake" she said and walked over to where we were
" it's not your fault. She probably woke up when she saw us hugging and you kiss me" I said as I sat back down on the bed and tried to pick roza up. She flinched away from me and shook her head.
" no miti, op, eve me one" she said and started crying as she turned away from me ( no miti, stop leave me alone). I'm pretty sure my face showed hurt, regret, and sadness.
" roza, it's not like that. I love you" I said and moved closer but she crawled back and started full out crying. Tasha sat on the bed also but rose flinched away from both of us and sat against the headboard as she shook her head at both of us. Tasha put her hands up in surrender.
" rose, he's yours he love's you and only you he only love's me as a friend. I'm sorry but it's not what you think were just friends" she said as she looked at rose who was currently giving us " the silent" treatment. We both tried telling her but she was being stubborn. About an hours later rose started crying and I could tell that it wasn't because of me. I think she was hungry. I walked over to her bag as I got out a bottle to warm up. Tasha picked up rose who started crying louder and tried to get out of her arms but stopped when she saw me warming up the bottle. She looked at me and then the bottle. I smiled as I reached out for her to feed the bottle she let Tasha give her to me with no hesitation and drank the bottle eagerly. I refrained from laughing as I saw rose frown at me. After rose finished her bottle she fussed to get down. I let her crawl around the room.
" well Dimka, I gotta get going I'll see you tomorrow?" she asked me
" um, I don't know I've got an all day shift tomorrow. I get off at eight so yeah maybe" I say
" alright, if so I'll be with christian and Lissa in Her room Chris wants to practice his magic" she says as she stands up. Tasha leaves as we say goodbye. She says bye to rose but rose turned her head to the wall. Tasha grimaced and whispered "talk to her" in my ear as I closed the door.
" can we talk?" I ask as I sit on the floor in front of rose. Rose pouted and shook her head at me. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair.
" roza, I promise there is nothing going on with me and Tasha. I told her about you and how I Love you and only you. Please forgive me?" I asked as I held my arms out. Rose crawled over to me and stopped in front of me on her knees.
" omise?" she asked and looked me in the eye. So cute. (promise?)
" I promise" I said and scooped her up in my arms as I tickled her and kissed her on the forehead and each cheek. She laughed and smiled at me as I sat on the bed
" I ov you miti" rose said as she smiled and yawned as she snuggled in my neck again. I chuckled
" I love you too roza, so much" I said and smoothed her hair
About an hour later I was back reading my novel again while rose was brushing my hair. Well I was trying to read my book but it was hard with rose standing on my lap. I gave up as rose struggled to hold the brush and brush my hair. She soon got bored with it and turned on the TV as Abe walked in.
" hi kiz, hey dimitri" Abe said as he let himself in the room
" dada hi!, ere mama?" rose said as she continued siting between my legs
" momma had to work late so your gonna hang with me is that cool" abe asked as he looked at rose
Rose shrugged her shoulders and looked at me. I picked her up as I gave her to abe and handed him her back.
" bye, bye roza i'll see you tomorrow" okay I say as I give rose a kiss on the head
" otay miti, e you etr," she says and leans over to give me a kiss ( okay miti, see you later) I smiled as she yawns and lays down on abe's shoulder.
" I think she's tired she should be out like a light by the time you get to your room" I say as I walk over to open the door
"yeah she probably is, thanks" he says as he walks to the door
" no problem, bye" I say
After he leaves I notice that it's about 6:30pm when I decide that's it's still to early to go to bed. I shake my head as I read my book again and hope I can finish it.
Ok I now this chapter like was short and kinda sucked but I'm running out of ideas!
If anyone has any ideas on some more Dimitri and Rose ideas?
Or any ideas for bonding time like with certain characters. Like Janine and Rose?
Can you tell me or help me out?

I'm sorry. Please review I need help! I'm listening to my music so I'll come up with some ideas.
Once again sorry. and Help!
