Ok guys, here's that second chapter I promised you guys. Enjoy…. Same disclaimer as always.

CHAPTER 10: Sneaking Out

Rose's P.O.V.

I was standing in the shower getting ready for the day thinking about last night at dinner, I had met the rest of Dimitri's family; his older sister, Sonya, who was really pregnant, and his grandmother, Yeva, who was very scary looking.

There wasn't anything, BIG, going on today, so I really didn't know what we were going to do.

I went to talk to Lissa, once I was ready, and the first thing she said was, "Can we please go shopping today?"

And I said, "Just as long as the boys don't come."

"Sounds good to me, it'll be your birthday present this year." Lissa replied

I went to find Dimitri, to tell him what Lissa and I wanted to do, and found him on the couch in the living room. I walked over to him and asked, "Do you mind if Lissa and I go shopping today, just the two if us? We need a girls day out, and plus she's doing it as a birthday present."

His immediate answer was, "No".

"Oh, come on, Comrade, why not?" I complained.

"Let them live a little, Dimka, after all, their only 18." Karolina chimed in.

"No, not after what happened yesterday and-"

"Yesterday doesn't have to do with this, don't even go there, I'm not really in the mood for one of you Zen lesson's, so just drop it and back off." I interrupted. I then leaned over and gave Karolina a kiss on the cheek, grabbing the keys to the rental car on my way upstairs.

I looked down the hallway to see who's bedroom I would go to first, when Lissa poked her head out of her bedroom, "No go, huh?" she asked.

"He may have said no, but that doesn't stop me, we're still going weather he likes it or not." I said, while walking into her room. I WAS going to get my girls day, even if it meant having to SNEAK out.

I closed the door behind me. Christian looked up at me and said, "Don't even bother saying it; I know your going to sneak out to go shopping." He turned to Lissa, "I'll keep you updated and will text you what's going on with Dimitri, kay?" she nodded, and Christian said, "Love you."

So I replied, "Love you too, but you might want to be careful what you say, especially in front of your fiancé; I mean, you don't want to hurt her feelings, do you?"

Lissa giggled and said, "I love you too honey see you later, and thanks for stalling her fiancé for us."

We quietly walked downstairs, snuck out the backdoor, went to the car, and drove a LONG half-hour to the mall.

When we got there Christian texted Lissa: Hey, he noticed dat ur gone, nd isnt goin 2 follow.

Dimitri's P.O.V

As soon as Rose went upstairs with the car keys I knew that they were going the mall anyway, no matter what I said.

About 5 minutes later I herd the car start and leave. I sighed and looked around, confirming my suspicions that Rose and Lissa had left to go to the mall.

"Look, Dimitri, do you want me to tell them that you're not going to follow them?" Christian asked from the top of the staircase.

"Go ahead, I don't care." I responded. Karolina was right, they did need this. Christian texted the princess while I sat on the couch and, promptly, fell asleep for a few hours.

I woke up to Christian snapping a picture of me. "Christian, what the heck?" I asked, while yawning and stretching. Then I realized his camera was still on me; damn, it was a video. He stopped because he was laughing so hard.

I sighed and started pacing for the next couple of hours. It had been just before noon when they left. I sighed and picked up one of my Western Novels, which Rose always liked teasing me about. I tried to read for all of five minutes, and then started pacing a little more.

I looked outside; it was just starting to get dark outside. "I'm going after them." I told Christian, and whoever else was happened to be listening, and then I walked out the front door.

Rose's P.O.V.

After Lissa got the text, we went inside and I said, "How bout Hot Topic, first?"

"Sure, 'specially since it's right there." Lissa said, laughing.

All we found, there, was one outfit for each of us: a spaghetti strapped black and white striped shirt with a pair of dark jean material booty shorts, for me, and a pink tank top, that's slightly paint splattered, with a pair of light jean material booty shorts, for Lissa.

We browsed, occasionally going in and buying a bikini or two. Lissa found a really cute one piece at a store, and in another store Lissa and I got matching ones.

At one point Christian texted Lissa: Ha! Dimitri's asleep on the couch! I attached a pic. We both got a laugh out of the picture

Lissa and I talked about my wedding. "I think it should be here, in Russia." I said.

"I agree" Lissa said.

"Well, there's a bridal shop right there! Let's go look!" I said, excitedly.

We went in and I saw a few dresses that I liked. A lady came up to us and asked, "Hello, my name is Hannah, how may I help you?"

"I'm looking for a wedding dress." I stated.

"And what kind are you looking for?"

"Well this is my first time looking so I'm not absolutely sure yet."

"Well, pick out the one's you like, and we'll get started." It seemed like this lady's first language was English and that Russian must have been her second language, considering she had no accent.

I picked out 4 or 5 dresses and only one fit correctly, but I didn't like how that one looked on me; I picked out 4 more, but none of those fit either. After trying on a few more, I found the perfect dress, I absolutely LOVED it, and it fit PERFECTLY. "This one!" I practically yelled.

"Ok… let's get it finalized." Hannah said

We got the dress and had to sign a ton of paper work, got a warrantee, and a bunch of other things.

After we were done, Hannah asked, "Who's the lucky guy?"

"His name is Dimitri Belikov." I answered.

"I know the Belikov's, and he's lucky to have found you."

"Thank you, oh and by any chance do you happen to have any Bridesmaid/ Maid of Honor dresses?"

"Right this way, ladies." Hannah then showed us a few dresses, but they just didn't go well with mine.

"Thanks, do you think you could hold the wedding dress till we're ready to leave?" I asked.

"Sure" she replied.

After looking at several stores, we found the perfect Maid of Honor dress for Lissa, Mia and Viktoria's Bridesmaid dresses, and a couple of matching party dresses. We had decided to get all of the dresses for Lissa's wedding back in the states.

We sat down and Lissa checked her phone for massages. There were two, from Christian, the first one: Dimitri is goin 2 make a hole in da floor, he's pacing so much…LOL. Second one: Still pacing…it's getting boring watchin him. We laughed at those. Dimitri pacing a hole in the ground was pretty funny.

We decided that it was time to start heading back, so we headed to the car. We put the bags in the car first, and then went to get the bridesmaid dresses and put those in the car. Then we went and picked up my dress and put it in the car with all the other stuff.

*Sigh* Another half-hour drive, only this time Lissa and I talked the entire time.

I pulled onto the street behind the house, and Lissa texted Christian: Get Dimitri out of the house. We then walked in carrying the bags of what Lissa and I had bought (not including the dresses).

Fireboy started laughing. "What's so funny?" I asked.

"Dimitri walked through the front door to go find you guys , just as you walked in the back." He laughed

I shook my head, put my bags down, and went to go get my dress out of the car, as did Lissa. We walked back into the house and I asked, "Hey, where can we put these?"

OK guys there's chapter 10. Isn't it funny that Rose walked in through the back door at the same exact moment that Dimitri walked out the front. :D
