I realised I still needed a guardian to come tomorrow. I thought since I had one in my room, why not ask him.
"Dimitri," I began. "What are you doing tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow's my day off. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, I was going to go outside of the Court tomorrow and I thought that it would be safer if another guardian comes, but if your too busy with Tasha, don't worry."
"Rose," He interrupted. "I'd love to come." I couldn't help but smile when he said the word love. I guess he noticed because he grabbed my hand.
"Why do you do that?" I asked.
"Do what."
"You've held my hand twice now. You left me remember. Why are you doing what you're doing?" He let go of my hand. I wanted to scream out in protest but I decided not to.
"I don't know. I mean you almost kissed me today and yesterday, it's not just me." Damn he was good.
"I don't know, maybe I still like you. I know I shouldn't but . . ." I couldn't continue the pain hurt too much.
"But what," He pressed.
"I guess I feel something for you. And I know the relationship would be easy and all but I couldn't do that to Tasha and then what would Christian think of me. Lissa would probably stop talking to me."
"No they wouldn't." He tried to reckon with me.
"Do you still love me?" I asked after a period of silence
He was silent, but grabbed my hand again. My body relaxed at his touch. "Yes."
The answer made my heart jump. "Then why'd you leave."
"What don't you remember?" He said in a rude tone, letting go of my hand.
"What did I do? I didn't do anything." I realised I was saying my thoughts out loud.
"Don't Rose. Just don't." I sat up and looked at him. I grabbed his hand for once and played with his fingers.
"Dimitri," I started. "Look at me." He didn't instead he closed his eyes. Damn you. I thought. I grabbed his chin with my free hand. I had never done that, usually it was him leading. I moved down and kissed him, at first he was still and then he started moving with my lips. We moved in synchronization. He demanded entrance to my mouth and I granted it. Our tongues danced the way they used to. This kiss felt so natural so normal. It soon became heady and exciting. He pushed me on to my side of the bed. He was about to take off my shirt when there was a knock at the door.
"Shit," He quietly said. His breathing was heavy. He got off me. "Coming," He said trying to sound sleepy. I got out of bed and went to go to the bathroom. I heard Tasha's voice. I know I was rude to Dimitri when he eavesdropped on me but, I heard my name I think I have a right to hear.
"Is Rose here?" Tasha asked Dimitri.
"No," Dimitri replied confused.
"Good," I heard the door close and heard what sounded like kissing, oh my god, they are not going to do what I think they're going to do. I supressed a yell and fell asleep.
I woke up on the ice cold floor of the bathroom. I shivered and got up not knowing if Tasha was still in my bed. I opened the bathroom door and noticed no one was in the bed. I closed the door again and had a shower.
I was almost finished changing when Lissa came in. "Rose are you almost ready?" Lissa said as she came into my room.
"Yeah almost," I called out to her from the bathroom. When I walked out she was sitting on my bed.
"Rose," Lissa said in a strained voice. "Why does your room smell like sweat and other stuff I don't want to smell?"
"It's not what you think it is. Well it sort of is. Well, Dimitri and I were in bed ready to go to sleep and Tasha came to my room. They started kissing and they slept together while I slept on the cold bathroom floor." When I finished Lissa had a pained expression but pain, sadness, and anger came to me through the bond.
Lissa got up off my bed and hugged me. "It's okay Rose." Someone opened the door and closed it behind then
"Who's coming on the trip?" I asked when she let go of me.
"I am." Said a familiar voice. I forgot someone had walked into the room. I hadn't seen Adrian in such a long time. I ran over to him and crashed into his chest. "I know you love me and all Rose but there's no need to kill me in a bear hug, by the way I can't breathe." I let go of him and Dimitri walked into the room.
He stared at my close proximity with Adrian. I took a step closer to Adrian. I ignored Dimitri, god damn he deserved it.
"Are you really coming with us Adrian?" I asked excited giving all my attention to Adrian.
"Yeh, I invited him Rose. You don't mind do you Rose?" Lissa asked coming over to us.
"Of course not, I haven't seen Adrian in a long time. It's a great time to catch up. I was starting to miss his rude jokes and his ostentatious behaviour." I said jokingly.
"Rose, I know you love me even if this is your weird way of saying it." Ah memories. He draped on of his arms over my shoulders. I could tell Dimitri was getting angry. Too bad, I thought.
"Okay, who else do we need to get before we go?" I asked Lissa.
"We need to get Adrian's guardians and then we can go." Dimitri answered.
"Okay, I'm just going to tell Eddie, I'll meet you guys at the car."
A/N: Hope you liked it! I think it's getting a bit boring do you guys want Strigoi to get involved or do you want Rose to be with Dimitri. Do you guys want action but not in the form of danger (if that makes sense). If there are errors let me know I'm kinda on a sugar rush. And I just started reading Last Sacrifice all I gotta say is OMG.
