Sorry, it took me a while to update been a little busy. Here's the next chapter. Thanks for all of the reviews.
Everyone turned to us and all the guy's jaws dropped. Everyone one stunned speechless, Lissa laughed.
"Damn Rose you finally found the opportunity to wear the jacket, boots, and necklace. It looks better than I thought!"
And Lissa it would have been nice to know that you were having Adrian drop off your hair drier. I thought it was you so I answered the door in a towel. I said trying to send her the message through the bond. She had a shocked expression on her face, and then she composed herself and answered through the bond.
Sorry Rose, I didn't think that you would be in a towel. How did you know you could communicate through the bond?
I didn't know it would work I just tried it, since last you said you were in my head.
Oh ok. Lissa said. I can't believe that all the guy's jaws dropped, it looks so funny.
I know well we better get them to stop. Both Lissa and I laughed out loud. Lissa elbowed Christian, which seemed to sober him up. I walked up to Nate and Alek and pushed their mouths closed.
"You might want to close your mouths, you might catch bugs," I said walking to the vehicles. Lara smacked her brother in the back of the head causing him to whine. I ignored Dimitri and Tasha, as best as possible. Alberta was there and she elbowed stand just like Lissa did to Christian. She told us that she was going alone as well. We started filing in the SUV's and Nate got onto his bike. (A black and silver Yamaha r6.) We left the school and drove for a few hours. I dozed off in the car leaning against Adrian's shoulder.
The next thing I know I was pulled into a spirit dream. Adrian was standing in front of me with a huge smirk on his face. He looked really sexy standing there. His hair was styled in the messy way it always is. We were on the beach again but this time I was in a jade green bikini. He had on jade green board shorts and his chest was bare. For a Moroi he was muscular, his chest was smooth, and he had six-pack abs. I was staring and it caused him to chuckle.
"See something you like Rose?" He said in a very seductive voice as he stepped closer to me. I couldn't help myself; I licked my lips and nodded my head. "Good because I definitely like what I see. The outfit you have on in the real world makes you look drop dead gorgeous and every guy was drooling over you. Well, at least Damon and Abe weren't." He chuckled again. "By the way, Dimitri is so jealous of you sleeping on my shoulder, he looked like he was ready to explode." This caused me to laugh. Dimitri, Tasha, Christian, and Lissa were in SUV with Adrian and I. Damon and Abe were in one with Alek, Nik, Lara, and Toby. Alberta and Stan were in the other one. That one was going to be used to haul the stuff we were going to buy.
"Well he lost me, and if you think that was bad he's going to have an aneurysm when he finds out that I'm with you." (Aneurysm is a blood vessel that busts.) I closed the distance between us and kissed him. A few minutes later we both woke up as we were pulling into the parking lot. Everyone got out of the vehicles and got into the groups, Dimitri glanced at me noticing that I was with Adrian. He did not look remotely happy, he slid his guardian mask. Adrian looked at him and turned back to me. Then Alek came up to me and said.
"I know you're not guarding but I want you to be prepared." He tried giving me his spare stake, which I wouldn't accept. He was getting ready to argue with me when I move my jacket and showed him my stake on the inside pocket.
"Already got it covered!" I stated and Abe chuckled and Alek shook his head. We split up to where we were supposed to be and Alberta was assigned to be a near guard, so it was more even. We talked as we walked from shop to shop, the whole time though I was scanning the mall for any threats. As we walked I kept getting stared at and kept getting catcalls from every guy in the damn place. While their girlfriends kept glaring at me, this seemed to amuse Adrian. He chuckled a little when I glared at him, he shut up. Everyone in our group except the far guards and Dimitri laughed. Adrian said sorry and Christian wrapped his arm around Lissa's waist because she was also getting catcalls.
Nathaniel pretended to be going out with Lara because some asshole kept trying to hit on her, so Nate put his arm around her waist. Lissa looked over at me and she could tell I was getting pissed because some guy was following me. Adrian grabbed my hand and held it. He was trying to calm me down; no doubt he saw the darkness in my aura. We were walking past the food court to go to a few more shops before we got lunch when the idiot that was following me came up to me. He started hitting on me and I could tell Adrian was getting ticked off. I told the guy multiple times to go away or leave me alone and he didn't listen.
Adrian had the last straw when the jerk decided to grab my ass. I didn't even have time to react; Adrian clocked him right in the face. There was a crunch as Adrian's fist connected with his nose. The guy's nose broke and he landed on his ass. Who know that Adrian was that strong, especially since he was a Moroi.
"Touch my girlfriend again and I'll break something else!" Adrian hissed at him in a low voice, so only the three of us could hear. The guy scrabbled off really fast and ran right out of the mall.
"Damn Adrian, you broke that guy's nose," I said in a stunned tone.
"He was warned, and didn't take the hint." He slid his arm around my shoulder and I slid my arm around his waist. Lissa smiled and everyone else stared. Dimitri had his guardian mask up but I could see right through it; he was extremely pissed. I smiled internally as we kept going from store to store. We stopped off at the food court and the near guards ate with the Moroi. When I was done I threw my trash out and walked over to Alek.
"Go get something to eat I'll cover your spot," I told him and he started to argue but I cut him off. "Не спорьте со мной. Вы голодны и как и все другие опекуны. Перейти есть к тому же он все-таки свет." (Don't argue with me. You're hungry and so are all the other guardians. Go eat besides it's still light out.)
"Fine." He said before gathering the far guards and going to go get some food. Abe walked over to me with a huge smirk on his face.
"Do you realize you're the only other person besides me that can boss Aleksandr around?" He chuckled when I just shrugged. Abe and I chatted for awhile until everyone was done eating. The whole time Dimitri seemed to be fuming. Tasha was blabbing about something that I couldn't hear and Dimitri wasn't paying very much attention to her but she didn't seem to notice. We went back to the guarding positions we had been in earlier.
As we walked Adrian had his arm around me and I had my arm around him. We shopped for hours. Adrian mentioned about the dance next weekend, that is was a masquerade ball. We went from shop to shop looking for the perfect outfits. Lissa got a plan elegant floor-length ballroom style dress that was a pale pink. We couldn't find the dress for me anywhere. Lissa and I went to The DEB and were in there only two minutes when we found the perfect dress. The guys stayed outside the store, so no one knew what the dress looked like.
It was a red knee-length strapless dress. It was a bright red but it was an amazing color that would go well with my tan. I tried it on and showed Lissa, and she pushed me back into the changing room. She told me that I was getting it and there was nothing I could do to stop it. When I came out of the changing room she grabbed the dress from me and all but ran to go pay for it. I told her we had to go to Hot Topic next which was a few stores down. We quickly looked through Hot Topic, and I found a nice leather corset and black mesh strapless dress that was cut into strips at the bottom.
I bought them along with a section of red clip on hair. I kept the dress and corset a secret; I bought it while Lissa was trying on a pink mini skirt and a matching top. I put the dress and corset in the DEB bag underneath my red dress. I told them I were I was going to put the stuff, so they gave me a little bag for the hairpiece. I walked over to the changing room and waited for Lissa. She stepped out to show me the outfit and I loved it. I told her she had to get the outfit and she went to go change. She bought the outfit.
We went to a shoe store and she made me get a pair of black five-inch heel boots. While she bought a pair of pale metallic pink five-inch strapped heels. We walked into a jewelry store and looked around. Lissa found a beautiful set of necklaces for the two of us. One necklace was a sun and one was a crescent moon. They fit together and symbolized friends forever. The charms and chains were made of silver. We couldn't afford them but I noticed Tasha watching us look at them. We left the jewelry store empty-handed.
The girls broke apart from the group and headed to our last store. It was Victoria's Secret. Most of the guys turned beet red when Lissa and I blurted out that we had to go to that store. They stayed behind, as we went into the store. Lissa and I both got some new bras and panties and I got four tubes of my favorite lip gloss since I've been out for about two weeks. Tasha got some stuff that made her look like a slut. Everyone paid for their stuff and we walked out of the mall.
We carried everything out into the parking lot. Something was wrong, I was being watched. I scanned the parking lot as I put my bags in the SUV that Stan was driving earlier. Adrian saw we scanning the area, but didn't say anything. The guardians looked at me funny and were scanning the area. We needed to leave and leave now something bad was going to happen. It wasn't a Strigoi because I wasn't nauseous, not yet anyway. I was twitchy which was unusual for me. I touched the stake in my coat and Alek saw it.
"Rose what's going on, you're touching your stake?" He said instantly more alert than he usually was.
"Someone's watching me!" I whispered, trying not to alert my unseen stalker. The guardians started getting the Moroi into the vehicles. "Something's seriously wrong!" I stated when all of the Moroi and all of the guardians except for Alek, Alberta, Dimitri, and Nate were in the cars. "We need to go now." I hissed out just as my early warning alarm went off and pulled out my stake.
