ROSE POV

Dinner was awkward. Everyone stared at us while we ate. When I laughed, half the room laughed. The waiters and waitresses paid us extra attention and went out of their way to get something simple like a glass of water. Some of the diners took pictures of us while we were eating and even ordered the same thing as us. It was too...too much.

Leaving the restaurant was a hazard itself. People bombarded each other just to get me to sign a napkin or their arm. My hand ached by the time we got in the car. Dimitri kept his promise to me and protected me from the onslaught of fans.

I sighed when we got in the car.

"That was crazy." Dimitri said.

I turned towards him and gasped. I hadn't realized that wasn't used to the attention and crazy fans. "I'm so sorry! I forgot that you were new to this. Oh god you're probably scarred by now! I'm so stupid! Why did I take you out in public? DAMN!"

"Roza? What is wrong? I'm fine. In fact, I enjoyed myself immensely."

"No Dimitri, you don't get it. You are going to be on TV, in newspapers, magazines, everything. Reporters will dig through your past and find anything that they can And twist it to where it sounds horrible or extremely nice. It depends on how fond try are of you. I've had it both ways."

"I haven't done anything except..." He looked farms knowingly.

His dad. Dimitri beat up his dad. Reporters could twist that and make it sound horrible. They often ignored the truth. My face must have showed pure agony because Dimitri caressed my face.

"Roza. It will be fine."

"You just wait until your mother calls you and asks why gossip reporters are saying that you must be a sex slave to the slutty Rose Hathaway-Mazur."

"Hey I'm loving this little romantic talk, but can we go home? I have a lady to please in bed back here. Just saying."

"Christian!" Lissa hissed. "Stop interrupting! Things were getting good!"

"Can you take us home now?" I asked Dimitri. He nodded and started to drive.

I was pretty tired. After eating a buttload of nachos my body was defeated. It was time for sleep.

I opened my eyes as someone carried me up the stairs. I looked up to see Dimitri's warm brown eyes gazing at me.

"Comrade I can walk you know. I'm not drunk."

"What would be the fun in that Roza?" He smirked.

Okay then. I relaxed into his arms and let him carry me into my room. Dimitri pulled my covers back and laid me open the bed. I sighed as I adjusted to the soft feeling of my mattress. I was already half asleep.

"Goodnight Roza." Dimitri said before kissing my cheek and opened the door.

I don't know what caused me to become a crazy lovesick teenager, but I find by want him to leave.

I grabbed Dimitri's hand and slightly pulled. He stopped walking and turned towards me.

"Yes Roza?"

Good god. That accent was going to make me faint. It sent pleasure all down my body. I couldn't even focus.

"Stay." I whispered. "Sleep here, with me. Please." I pulled out my best puppy dog eyes and prayed that he'd say yes.

Dimitri stared at me...and kept staring. Finally, he smiled. "Let me go change into my pajamas and then I'll come back, okay?"

"Okay." I replied softly.

When he left I jumped out of my bed and went to my drawer. I pulled out some shit shorts and a tank top. I threw them on and put my dirty clothes into the dirty hamper. I combed my hands through my hair and slapped my cheeks a couple of times. I put on a strawberry lipgloss and jumped back under my covers.

Dimitri knocked on the door twice and entered. He smiled and looked at me, realizing that I had changed clothes. I couldn't speak. Dimitri had put on his pajama... bottoms.

He didn't have a shirt on. I almost died of a heart attack. He obviously ha no shame in his body. I wouldn't either if I had abs and very, very nice pecs.

"Is something wrong Roza?" He smirked.

I growled internally. He knew what he was doing to me. Well two can play that game. I gave him my best man eater smile and scooted over to make more room.

"Not at all Dimitri."

He gulped and I smiled some more. Dimitri got into the bed and looked at me. " how do you turn your light off?"

I clapped twice and the room was immediately dark.

"Clap off, very efficient." he praised.

"Saves me from having to get up." I laughed.

Dimitri laughed too and it was the most beautiful sound that I had ever heard. his body slightly shook the bed and he sounded relaxed. It pleased me that I could make him laugh like that.

"Shall we sleep?" I asked.

"Yeah, let's go to bed Roza."

Even though he couldn't see me, I smiled an laid down. A few seconds later, I felt him do the same.

I then realized that there would be a big problem. I could smell Dimitri. He smelled heavenly. His aftershave was drowning me, but in a good way. It fit him perfectly, it was manly, but also smelled like cinnamon.

'Tonight's dreams are going to be crazy' I thought before I let my eyes close.

My eyes shot open and I checked my surroundings. This time, the dream was when he first kidnapped me. I was my tied to the bed- naked, hungry, and exhausted. I had blood trickling down my face. Victor had walked into the room and shown me what I was there for.

I touched my cheeks and felt hit tears on them. I sat up and rubbed at my face. My arms found their way around myself as I say on the bed.

"Roza?"

My eyes were used to the darkness and I turned my head to look at him. He looked confused and cute.

"Yes?" I croaked.

Dimitri immediately sat up. After he looked around the room his eyes landed on me.

"Roza? What's wrong?"

"Nothing, it was just a dream."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"No." I whispered.

"Okay."

Dimitri pulled me into his arms and began to rock back and forth. I leaned my head onto his chest, which was surprisingly soft and hard at the same time.

"I'll take care of you Rose, I promise. He's not going to get you again."

"Okay." I whispered.

"Come on, let's get some sleep."

He moved to release me but I grabbed his arm like it was my lifeline.

"Don't let me go."

He stared at me for a minute and nodded. We laid down and Dimitri began to rub my back. It soothed me. We were cuddled together on the bed. My body folded into his perfectly. His chest was warm and easy to lay on. My eyes closed and I sighed before finally fell asleep, contempt in Dimitri's arms.

Okay so this is what I'm going to do. All of my chapters from When the Going Gets Tough are going to be moved to the rewritten version. Then I am going to start updating from there and DELETE THE ORGINAL WTGGT.

BUT ONLY AFTER I HAVE TAKEN OUT ALL THE CHAPTERS!

So yes, this is an OLD chapter! I repeat, this is an OLD CHAPTER!

I'll write soon my lovelies!
