D POV

I was dreaming. I wasn't dreaming right now, but I was dreaming a lot lately.

Of course I dream every night but this particular dream was constant. I don't usually remember what I dream, I just sleep a good night sleep and then I wake up. But lately I dream. And I dream a lot!

If my mom knew what was going on in my head she'd thought I would've gone crazy and sent my grandma on me to do some chants to I would go back to normal sane Dimitri Belikov. The son she raised.

But I don't feel that sane any more. Or I feel sane but in a weird warm fluffy kind of way. Is that even possible? Am I turning into a girl?

I inhaled deeply trying to get away from my thoughts. My head was messy and uncoordinated and fussy. I never use to be fussy!

I exhaled, but she made me fussy. Rose. Rosemarie Hathaway. Roza. My Roza. Roza Hathaway.

Oh sweet lord I'm going crazy!

I have one woman burned into my mind and she is never going away. I dream about her, I think I see her sometimes I have her laugh in my ears still hearing how it sounds. Her lips are marked on mine and I know exactly how they feel.

"Dimka? Dimka! Dimitri. Dimiiiitriiiii? DIMITRI ALEXANDER BELIKOV are you listening to your mother?"

I flinched as I was pulled out of my mind. It took me a short mater of seconds to actually realize where I was. I realized actually were I was and I grimaced when I realized my mother and three sisters were looking at me like I'd lost my mind. And I think I have…

All of them studied me closely, eyes narrowed and taking in whatever was written all over my face. They didn't say anything they were trying to look through me. I'm so dead.

I cleared my throat, "You were saying?" Trying to sound as normal as I could. I think I fail.

"I was asking you how things are at work?" My mother said easing up on the staring. But I could still feel my sisters' gazes on me.

"It's fine good" I didn't know what to say. "Very good" Slipped out and I knew I was busted.

"I think he's hiding something." Sonya said still looking at me.

"Definitely" Karolina agreed.

"No doubt about it" Viktoria chimed in. I made a snorting cough kind of thing, "Hiding something? What could I possibly be hiding?"

"Yes" Sonya said with a smirk growing on her face, "What are you hiding?"

"I'm not hiding anything!" I said feeling a little too uptight. Sonya's smirk tightened up, "Oh really? Then why so uptight brother?"

"Yeah what's up with all the thinking? You are very distant" Viktoria said. I leaned back in my seat trying to look more relaxed. Getting my mask up again.

"I had a lot of things at work and I'm tired" I said. Good Dimitri, you're getting there! I told myself.

"Dimka, sweetie there most be something more than that, I called your name five times before you woke up from your dreaming"

Damn there goes the dreaming again.

"I wasn't dreaming I was-"

"Hallucinating?" Sonya quirked in, with a mocking smile hitting her lips.

"Sonya" Mama said shooting her a glaze. She turned back to me, "Are you sure you're alright Dimitri?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" I was doing pretty Good now. Damn I love my poker face.

"We've barely seen you these two weeks and you're always telling me your working over many nights. I'm just a little worried about you"

Working over was another word for secretly dating one of my student's mom, But they didn't need to know that much.

"There's just some trouble with some students at school and I'm doing everything I can"

Mom smiled, "You've always been such a good boy Dimka"

My sisters rolled their eyes.

"Aw c'mon! There must be something?" Sonya complained. "Why does little Ms. Perfect Dimitri always have to be so good?"

"Yeah, you must do something wrong?" Viktoria said looking at me like it was time for me to confess.

I shrugged, "Nothing to hide" and then smiled.

Sonya sighed, "I'm giving up"

And Boom. Score to Dimitri Belikov!

Yeva my grandmother appeared with a tray with cups, cookies and coffee. She put it down sitting down next to my mother. In silence she prepared a cup for each one of us handing it out at is was done. I brought the cup to my lips feeling the warm liquid run down my throat.

"So Dimka" My grand mother started, "Who is this girl you're seeing"

I felt my throat clench together and the coffee went down the wrong pipe. I started couching putting down my cup putting my fist over my mouth to calm down. I looked up at saw my grandmother wearing the same smirk as my sisters'.

"What?" I asked trying to sound unknowing but my voice was to high, busted!

"I knew it!" Sonya said happy. "I knew there was something you weren't telling us"

"Sonya" Olena said, "Calm down" She turned to me, "You're seeing someone?"

As I didn't answer my silence gave me a way and my mothers face lit up, "Oh Dimka honey that's wonderful news!"

My grandmother just sat there looking happy she busted me. I leaned back in my seat again. This wasn't going to be pretty.

"So who is it?" Viktoria asked curious. I licked my lisp trying to figure out what to say, "It's a… girl"

"Well duh?" Sonya said taking a cookie, "We meant who is she?"

I swallowed, "She's this girl I met" I tried stalling but it wasn't really working. All my sisters, my mother and grandmother weren't people satisfied just by the mentioning of me dating someone. They had to know, name, age, were she comes from, parents, favorite things and how we met. Right now, it sucks to be me!

"Quit stalling Dimitri" Karolina said giving me a look, "Just tell us her name"

"Her name is Rose." I said easily.

"That's a pretty name" My mother smiled stirring in her coffee. "And how did you two meet?" My mother continued.

"We just kind off… met" I couldn't tell them I met her during a meeting about her daughter. I wouldn't even tell them that she had a daughter – well daughters and a son to be exact – or that all her kids went to the school I worked on. I wasn't telling them one thing.

"What's her last name?" Viktoria asked.

"Hathaway" I mumbled trying to get past that.

"What was that?" My mother asked and since she was the one asking I couldn't just ignore it.

"Hathaway" I said a little louder and all my sisters smiled. But Karolina looked a little puzzled. She looked like she was thinking about something. I just couldn't understand what. Suddenly a small smile appeared on her face and her eyes were on me.

"Did you say Rose Hathaway?"

I gulped but didn't say anything. "Yes he did, what about it? You've seen her?" Sonya asked looking at her sister.

I suddenly realized something. And this something wasn't good. Karolina have met Rose. Cause Rose is Ben's mother. And when Paul went with Ben to his place Karolina and Rose must've agreed on it. Slight panic painted my face and Karolina's face lit up completely both of us realized she knew.

"No!" She said having this ridiculous smile on her face. She couldn't even hide it, she was just looking at me like I was so busted and she couldn't believe it.

"Oh, No you didn't!" She burst out laughing as she realized it was so fucking true and I hid my face behind a pillow. I am so screwed!

"What? What did he do?" Sonya asked looking unhappy she didn't understand what Karolina was laughing about and me looking so busted about.

"I don't get it?" Viktoria said.

"What did he do?" Sonya asked tugging at Karolina's arm. "What are you not telling me?" She half shouted. I peaked at her behind my pillow and she just smirked, "You are in so much trouble" She looked so happy that I was. FUCK.

"What?" Now my mother looked curious, "You know who it is? Who is it? Karolina spit it out!"

I was silently begging she wasn't going to tell. "Please don't tell, please don't tell. Please don't TELL!" I silently chanted.

"He's dating Ben's mother!" She said looking so completely happy.

"WHAT?" The rest of them yelled. Their jaws dropped and eyes burning on me. What am I still doing here?

Sonya let out an evil laugh, "Oh you are so busted!"

"Not that perfect any more huh?" Viktoria laughed with Sonya. But I wouldn't even dare to look at my mother. She has met Ben since he came here twice already while I had math tooter with him and Paul.

"Dimitri" I looked over at my mother. Sure I was 33 years old and alone… But I was scared for my mother opinion. Scared as hell.

My sisters were talking all at once and I felt like this was the end when my mother silenced them.

"Karolina, Sonya and Viktoria" She nodded towards the door, "Go I want to talk to your brother alone"

"But ma-" Sonya started me mom gave her a stern look that shut her up. All of them grumbled stuff as they got up with their cups and left. Olena looked over and Yeva and raised a brow. Yeva just got her cup, got up and padded my shoulder. When she was gone my mom padded the seat next to her. Here comes the questioning:

"Is she Ben's mother?"

I nodded a yes. "But I didn't know until I went to pick up Paul"

She nodded along, "How long?"

"Two dates and around a week or more"

"Ok, my last question is; Are you happy?"

I looked down and swallowed. Then a smile hit my lips and I nodded, "Yes. Yes I am. I really like her and we have a really good time when we're around each other"

When I looked over at my mother I knew that look on her face. And I couldn't help but to chuckle.

"Oh Dimka I'm so happy for you!" She hugged me tightly, "I've waiting so long for you to meet someone and I never understood why it never happened earlier but I can't wait to meet her and-"

"Take it slow ma" I smiled, "I don't want to scare her away"

She laughed, "Well that would've been tragic…"

She went on and on about Rose coming here and having such a good time and meeting her and I just sat there smiling and feeling pretty good. With a happy mom you can get pretty far!

I was standing by the bleachers as I was waiting for my next class to come. Another Monday. I sighed deep. Veronica. She still acted the same and that attitude of hers didn't seem to change anytime soon.

Remember Dimitri, Veronica has nothing to do with you and Rose. Nothing. It's Rose you're dating. Mentioning her name made me smile as I was looking down in my papers.

I was taking her out Tuesday night. The surprise thing was kind of fun and a thing we had. And I wouldn't let her know this time either. I was going to show her what I liked and I think she'll be quite surprised when we get there.

"Thinking about my mom Belikov?" Veronica's voice was dripping with sarcasm and venom. I looked up and saw she was alone. Other wise I don't think she'd say anything like it.

"My thoughts has nothing of your interest Ms. Hathaway"

"But my mom does" She said crossing her arms over her shoulder.

"Stop whatever you are doing Veronica, it will get you nowhere"

She let up an evil chuckle, "Oh you don't know what I'm planning. But one thing is that you shouldn't get too comfortable"

"Why don't you let me take care of myself and I let you take care of you"

She was glaring at me. "This is not over" She spat. She held my gaze and my eyes narrowed, "It hasn't even begun"

Her eyes narrowed and her mouth cursed. I looked back into my papers as more teenagers streamed through the doors talking loudly. As I noticed the bigger half was already here I started this session.

"Ok class!" I said loudly and their speaking cleared out. "Today we are practicing Basketball. Ball sports are one of the important elements in your grades so I hope you'll keep that in mind and do your best. I hope you always do your best"

I split them up in two teams and then went through the basics. They had some time to go through it all with each other before we started playing.

Team one did great. They were passing the ball to everyone, running and keeping their positions. While team two was struggling. Most of the team fought back and did very well. But there was some people stalling.

I could see Ve was making it worse but only cause she meant to. She 'missed' balls, pushed people and fell. I groaned. "Time out!"

They stopped and I sighed deeply, "Veronica get over here"

She rolled her eyes and jogged over. I put my hands on my hips. "What are you doing?"

"I'm playing basketball?" She said like I was stupid. I knew that tone from my sisters…

"No you're not. You're ruining the game"

"Well excuse me Mr. I-know-everything but maybe I aren't that good at this" She said crossing her arms over her chest. I took a deep breath to control my temper, "Veronica, I know you're better than this. I know you can out play pretty much everyone in this room if you just give the effort, so why can't you just prove it to me and get a good grade?"

"The one day you step away from my mom and stop fooling around with her, that day I will give my all and prove your ass that I can outshine every poor sucker in this room" She said fiercely.

"I am not going to change anything that doesn't have to do with school Veronica. Why don't you just let it be and focus on school?" I asked in a low voice.

"Because having my gym teacher as my try-to-be father won't ever enter my mind! So don't even think about staying do you hear me!" She whispered fiercely since the subject became more personal.

"I am not trying to be your father, I am not trying to be your anything! I'm just dating Rose"

"And there's the problem!" There that stupid voice goes again.

"Why do you care?" Why can't she just be happy fro her mother?

"She's my mom! You don't get it do you?" She had a slight smirk on her face.

"Could we please let this go and just focus on the game?" I asked nicely.

"No"

"Do you want me to fail you?" I asked a little harsher now. She glared at me, trying to stare me down. She didn't succeed. She groaned and went back to the rest of the class taking her position. I felt a little easier, "Good, now play" I blew in my whistle.

"Hey" I said and sat down next to Paul in the couch. He was watching cartoons looking a bit tired.

"Hey" He said his eyes still on the TV.

"What are you watching?"

"Ben 10"

I nodded and watched the rest of the show in silence. I liked hanging out with Paul. Yes he was my only male friend in this house, and yes I still live with my mother. But that's only because I can't really afford a whole house on my own just yet. I own a small apartment closer to work were I stay some nights a week when I'm working late, in other cases meeting Rose. But during weekends and most days I hang around the house.

"Could you maybe call Ben and ask if we could take the lesson today instead of tomorrow?" I asked Paul trying to look casual. He looked up at me as he sat slouched down in the couch. "Why?" He had a small smirk on his face. He knew why…

"Cause I'm busy tomorrow" I said looking at the TV. Damn he was like his mother.

His smile grew, "With what?"

I groaned and he laughed at me. "I'll call him, you're going out with Rose tomorrow huh?"

"How's you know?"

"My mom talks a lot… and Ben told me. He's going to his grandpa and grandma so he couldn't make it to study tomorrow"

"Ok, good then go call him and say I'll pick him up in ten minutes"

Paul smiled and jumped out of the couch and went to get the phone. He hit in the numbers he memorized in his mind and smiled at me.

"Hi Rose, it's Paul. Is Ben there?" he was silent for a second and he chuckled, "Yeah we're moving it to today if it's ok?"

He nodded, "Dimitri can pick him up" More silence. "Bye!"

I raised a brow and he smiled, "I'll get the books and you go get him"

I smiled, "Sure, set it up in the kitchen and ask mama to make some hot chocolate will you?"

His face lit up and he ran off to find his grandmother. I grabbed the keys and went to get Ben. I slowed down outside his house and saw that the door was open. Rose was crouching in front of him tugging his jacket around him. She saw me in the corner off her eye and smiled. She kissed Ben's cheek and Ben laughed. I stretched over and opened the door. Ben ran over waving to Rose. Rose straightened up and met my gaze. She wore a long cardigan she tightened around her body. She waved slightly and tugged some hair behind her ear. I smiled and winked at her. Ben climbed into the co seat smiling wide.

"Hey there big boy! Ready fro some math?"

He grimaced and closed the door, "Did you have to ruin my mood?"

I chuckled, "Don't you like the math sessions?"

"I like that you and Paul's there" He smiled. I chuckled again, "And there'll be hot chocolate" I winked.

"Really?" His face lit up. My mother's hot chocolate was the best of the best. Believe me I've grown up drinking it and she finally shared the recipe so now I could make it myself. I drove back home and Ben ran inside meeting up with Paul standing right inside the door. They started talking and before they got to into it I broke it up and told them we could do math for half an hour than chocolate and then some more if we needed to. They thought it sounded fair so we got to it.

I went through different ways to solve different math terms. Both of them struggled for a while but when I tried to explain again I think the message got through. I smiled as they high fived when they could solve different terms all of their own. When they'd done about fifteen different terms I let them get a break and asked mom to start with the chocolate. She smiled as she entered the kitchen seeing the boys sitting by the table.

"Done for the day?"

"Yes they've worked hard enough, I thought they needed a reward"

She chuckled, "And I guess the teacher also needs some?"

"Of course!" I smiled. She chuckled and got some milk cocoa and sugar. She always held back on the sugar and put in a little more cocoa to get the real chocolate flavor. It was to die for.

"Don't you guys usually have these lessons on Tuesdays?" Mom asked stirring the milk. I cleared my throat but before I could answer Paul and Ben spoke for me.

"Yeah but Ben's busy tomorrow, so is Dimitri"

"Oh really?" My mother looked over at me, "You didn't tell me you were doing something tomorrow"

I swallowed and gave her an apologetic smile, "Yeah about that…"

"He's going on a date" Paul smirked. Mom raised her brows also wearing that famous Belikov smile.

"With my mom" Ben snickered.

"You told them but not me?" She played offended. I smiled, "Sorry ma, I'm going on a date tomorrow"

She rolled her eyes, "Well it doesn't help now does it? So when do I get to met Rose?"

She asked while filling up three cups with newly made chocolate.

"Someday" I said carefully.

"Are you afraid she won't like me?" My mother asked raising her brows giving me a stern look.

"He's afraid you'll scare her away!" Paul smiled, not shy.

"Why don't you boys go watch TV?" I proposed taking care of my mother who wanted to meet my Roza.

They boys took their cups and disappeared into the living room. My mother had her back towards me washing up after her self.

"I'm not keeping her from you ma" I said leaning up against the bench. She didn't say anything. I sighed, "I'm just taking it slow. I haven't met her parents yet" Hoping it might feel a little better. I knew she was thinking.

"Maybe we could meet all together?"

"Like her parents and all of you?" I asked feeling a little scared.

"Yes" her whole face lit up. This would kill the whole thing…

"I'll talk to Rose" I smiled. I would, but hoping she wouldn't like the idea. I loved my family, but I didn't need to scare Rose too far away. I really like her after all and by pushing my sisters on her won't make her running, Nothing will.

Maybe it was a god test…

"So where are you going tomorrow?"

I smiled, "The Carnival"

YEY soon Date THREE!

Am I the only one excited? :D :D :D

Tell me what you think !

Lot's of L-O-V-E !
