OMG! TODAY WAS THE MOST AMAZING DAY OF MY LIFE! So my Physical Education coach has a nephew that plays in the major leagues of baseball and I got to hug him today! His name is Jason Donald and he is soooo gorgeous! When I was hugging him, I felt like passing out, and I could feel his strong muscles around me. I seriously was seconds away from fainting. And I also I got his autograph! Most amazing day of this year of my life! Anyways, back to the story. I really, really enjoy writing this story because its Adrian/Rose, duh! But I've been really busy lately and when I had finally time to write…the power went out! Haha. Life is so amazing isn't it? And then while I was busy with school work, I decided to call my story "Hello World." Well, I hope you enjoy the chapter. Thanks so much for reviewing. You know how much I love reading those reviews! Enjoy(:

I don't own VA!

Chapter 10: On The Other Side of Town

My freaking father woke me up extremely early so we could help around the Mazur farm. I had only gotten three hours of sleep. I did not function properly when my eight hours—at least—of sleep were not slept. Today I would most likely be a huge ass to all.

Mr. Mazur, Rose's father scared me shitless but on some rare occasions, I thought he was a God.

"Nathan, please you're a guest here." Abe said when he saw my father readying himself for the day ahead.

"Want some coffee, dear?" Nadia's soft voice asked while she sat on the table, holding a coffee mug in between her hands. Until I was a parent myself, I would never understand how parents woke up so early and still functioned properly. Right now, I was not feeling alive in any way, shape or form.

"No, thank, Nadia." If I drank coffee I would most likely fall asleep faster. Me and coffee don't mixed. But alcohol and I—we were best friends.

"Baby, go back to sleep. Your dad is a little out of it this morning."

"Yes, Adrian son. Go back to bed. Go cuddle with Rose. Do as you may, but don't get crazy because us parents are downstairs and in this house, you can hear everything," Abe joked.

I had to let out a laugh when I saw my mother and father give Abe looks of disbelief. My parents were so hell-bent on not having sex before marriage. That's why they kept close tabs on Marisol and I, but little did they know that their son was a little party boy, who slept around and that their little daughter might well be on her way to becoming the same as the "little boy."

"Nathan, Daniella, I am sorry to be the one who opens your eyes, but your son isn't three years old anymore, where you could tell him what to do—and even then, I am pretty sure he didn't listen. But your son is twenty-one years old. He knows what he's doing. And he knows that if something happens, he has to deal with it. Rose is three years younger, and I tell her the same things. You got to learn how to trust your son."

"We do." They both said in unison.

"Wake me up in ten hours," I called out as I made my way back to the living room where the couch I had slept on was located. Instead of going all the way to the living room, I made a detour to Rose's room. The hasty sleeping arrangements Nadia had thought up last night ended with Rose and Marisol sharing rooms and me sleeping on the couch, while the rest of the couples slept perfectly fine on fancy beds. Rose was a small lump on the side of the bed as three layers of blankets and sheets covered her. Marisol was the one who was sprawled out, blankets tossed to the side.

I thought up of something quick to kick Marisol out of the room. I shook her, almost making her fall off the bed.

"What?" She looked up at me with alert eyes. One thing I liked about my sister—she was a light sleeper.

"Mom said you could go sleep on her bed."

She looked around the room as she stretched. "Liar. You only want to sleep with Rose."

"So what?" I grinned right in her face. "I know what you did with Brian."

She turned beet red. "Oh, God, Adrian. How do you know?"

"There are no secrets in the group" was all I said.

"They say men don't gossip, but I just know they gossip as much—or maybe more—as women."

"Leave now. And nobody will know your terrible secret." Secret being—Brian and Marisol were secretly dating, but they kept it a secret because my parents didn't approve of Brian in any way. And Brian's appearance made my parents like him even less, with all those tattoos he had all over his body.

"Go now and nobody will know your secret. Or you can stay and cuddle with Rose and me."

"Ass," she said, sticking out her tongue as she walked out the room.

"Your words are kind," I said, closing the door on her.

Turning back around, I sauntered to where Rose lay. Her matted hair was overlaying her forehead. Slipping into bed with her, I eased some of the hair out of her face. Rose's hair felt like silk, sliding through my fingers. I could feel her start to stir and I reached out to bring her closer to my chest.

"What are you doing here?" Rose asked, without opening her eyes. "Sane people should be sleeping." She repeated the words I had said to her earlier today.

"You know how much I love invading your bed. And I'm not sane. But neither are you." I teased.

"Shut up and let me sleep."

"You're awfully moody on this morning."

"If you don't shut up right now I will shoot you in the face." She finally opened her eyes and laughed. "I am not sane when I don't sleep. Now shut up and let me sleep. We can play later on."

"Play?" I asked, while slipping my hands under shirt.

"Hands off, Ivashkov. Trying to sleep. Besides I thought you were going to accompany me to the race placing test."

"Oh, that's right. Let's sleep then." It took me a couple minutes to fall sleep but I finally had me some sleep.

When I woke up, it was see Rose getting out of the shower. Her tanned, shaved legs were glistening with the water drops that slid down her legs. Her brown hair was damp and stuck to face and shoulders. Rose looked like she had just gotten out of a Play Boy magazine, only sexier.

"Thanks for the show." She tossed a pillow at me and I grunted. This girl hit hard.

Rose made me go shower and dress because she wanted me to accompany me to her racing meet. Rose looked gorgeous in her jockey outfit; A black coat, khaki pants, tucked in black riding boots. Abe's worker, Steve, helped me hitch up Rose's horse trailer to my truck and we rode off.

As soon as we got there, Rose was treated with hugs and kisses.

"Rose, amor mio, we have missed you!" An Italian guy called out as soon as Rose made her way to where the stalls for the horses were located.

"Lucio! I missed you too."

"Are you here to race again?"

"Yes, I've been missing it too much."

"Good, good. The track has been missing you as well. And without you, the ladies don't really have any competition."

"Of course, since I'm the best and all. . . ."

He raised an eyebrow. "I wouldn't be so sure, amor mio. The competition is going to be rough. Rough."

"I'm the best and you know it."

"Well, good luck beating her."

Rose and I both looked at the precise moment Alicia gave her psychotic laugh.

Alicia just makes my skin crawl. Again, sorry for not updating sooner. I hoped you liked! And please review! And what do you think about the title "Hello World?" It's a tie between "This Crazy Thing Called Life" or "Hello World."

Please review!
