When His Strength And My Spirit Joined

Chapter 10 : Pressure And Interrogation :

Adrian's POV :

The next days in the Belikovs' were lovely and they were very nice. We were building the tree house together now. And when no one was looking we would do some kissing. Dimitri was so good at those things and I was learning since I didn't do such a thing in my life.

I was lying on the couch waiting for the dinner when Dimitri was rushing to the living room shaking his head to Sonya. "No, Sonya. I don't care if you love Tasha. You can marry her if you want."

"What's going on?!" I asked confused looking between their annoyed faces.

"Nothing." Dimitri sat on an armchair next to me handing me a cup of cocoa since the weather was cold.

I looked at him. "What's that Dimka?! Is that the translation you have for Russian vodka." I said trying to lighten his dark mood.

He smirked. "No, it's a Russian vodka."

"I'm not stupid. It's not a Russian vodka." I told him lifting a brow up. "It's cocoa."

He chuckled. "I mixed them. It's good, try it."

I nodded and tried it and it was good. "Thanks." I said.

"You're welcome." He said ignoring his older sister whom was following him around all the day trying to convince him that he should be with Tasha. He'd look at me apologetically every once in awhile.

"Dimka, I'm talking to you." She said folding her arms over her chest.

"And I answered you already. I'm not going to date Tasha or be with her or whatever that was." He told her with a sigh. I knew he was so much annoyed and that was only a part of what he was feeling.

Viktoria came sitting next to me. "Hello, Adrian."

"Hi there, Viktoria." I said taking a sip of my drink.

"Are they still arguing about the Tasha thing?!" She asked with a smile. I nodded.

"But she's not Dimka's type. Besides, she's old. I think if the relationship should work the guy has to be older not the other way around.."

"I don't think so. It depends on the couple themselves." I said with a shrug.

"Well, maybe." She told me with a smirk.

Karolina came into the living room. "For god's sake stop pressing over him. He doesn't want her. My Zoya can't sleep with your voices."

"You know what, I'm going out." He said standing up.

I jumped up. "Take me with you." There's no way I was staying there.

We climbed the tree house which was almost ready and sat watching the sky. "I'm sorry for my sisters' behavior."

I shifted resting my head on his lap. "It's okay. It's not your fault. You know I was numbing my Spirit the whole week since I healed your mother but there's something up. Yeva and Karolina's aura are alike. Like they're working in the same thing."

"Can you tell?!" He asked me caressing my hair with his hand.

I shook my head. "I can't. I'm drinking and smoking almost all the time but I caught something yesterday when I was almost sober."

He sighed. "Sometimes I hate Tasha for that offer she gave to me."

"I'd do the same if you didn't tell me first." I told him with a smirk. I hated saying him upset that way.

He shrugged. "Yeah, but I'm in love with you not with Tasha." He was stroking my cheek with his gentle fingers when he said. "You know, you don't have to stay here for the thanksgiving, or the Christmas. You owe them nothing."

"Actually, I do. I owe them you. I wouldn't be this happy without you, and you wouldn't be with me if your mother didn't give birth to you. So I'd do anything to the person who was the reason of the existing of my lover." I told him honestly.

"The Spirit is affecting you badly, isn't it?!" He asked me with worry.

"Don't worry. I'm fine." I told him with an assuring smile.

He shook his head. "I know that look and that behavior. It's pressing upon you."

"I feel better when you're with me." I said staring at the sky.

"I won't leave anywhere." He promised.

"Good."

"Dimka, Adrian, the dinner is ready." Karolina called.

So that's what was happening almost every day. Sonya kept bothering Dimitri about Tasha, then she said she'd look for a nice girl for me. As for Viktoria, she kept either saying some flirting remarks to me before she finally decided that she needed to support Sonya. With all that pressure and the Spirit I was at the edge of breaking down…

I was walking to the kitchen to have some water when Sonya and Viktoria asked me to join them. I sat to the table with them. Dimitri was finishing the tree house.

"We want you to talk to Dimitri." Viktoria started.

"About?!" I asked lifting a brow. I was always keeping myself out of their arguments.

"About Tasha. He wouldn't leave you as your guardian but Tasha's offer is so amazing for a guardian to have. Beside she offers having Dhampir babies. And Dimitri adores children." Sonya said.

Viktoria nodded. "Yes, he loves them and he always wants to have some. Tasha could give him that."

I looked at them and then at Dimitri through the window. "Are you done?! Is that all?!" I asked feeling like my heart had been ripped out of my chest.

They nodded. "I hope we weren't bothering you." Said Viktoria.

I shook my head. "I'm just waiting for you to finish." They nodded when Dimitri got in the room.

"What's wrong?!" He asked when he saw my face. I was in a deadly sadness.

I shook my head. "Nothing." I took a bottle of Russian vodka and left to my room locking the door behind me.

"Adrian, open the door please. Talk to me." Dimitri knocked on the door.

"I'm not in the mood, Dimitri. Please give me some space." I told him from behind the door. I was sitting on the floor drinking my vodka and my tears were running along my cheeks.

"Adrian, I'll smash the door." He threatened.

"Please, Dimitri. Leave me alone. I want to stay alone." I said that hearing him cursing in Russian and storming away.

Dimitri's POV :

"What did you tell Adrian?!" I said when I stormed back to the kitchen.

"What's going on, Dimitri?! Where's Adrian?!" Karolina said getting in the kitchen after hearing my voice.

"He's locking himself in his room thanks to my two great sisters." I said pointing at Viktoria and Sonya.

"What did you do to Adrian?!" I snapped again at my sisters.

Viktoria shook her head. "Nothing. We were just talking . Then you came in."

"What did you say?!" I gave her a very deadly look.

Viktoria looked away and Sonya didn't know what to say. "What's going on?!" My mama came in asking worry in her tone and face.

"They told Adrian something to upset him very much and now he's in his room." I told her frustrated and angry. "They wouldn't tell me what they said."

"They said I should talk to you to leave me to Tasha. To marry her and have the kids you always wanted." Adrian said from behind me with the most heartbreaking tone I have ever heard in my life.

I turned to see Adrian in a very bad shape. He was crying with blood-shot eyes. The vodka in one of his hand and his free hand running through his hair. "What?!" I snapped at my sisters taking Adrian to my arms in front of them all.

I didn't care what they might think. I wanted to protect him from any pain. From anything in this life. I glared at my ashamed sisters.

"You talked to him about that. After what he suffered with his magic after he healed our mother. He didn't recover completely yet. Still didn't want to bother you about his health. I offered him leaving to America before thanksgiving. He declined. He said he didn't want you to be sad if we left early." I told them to see more guilt building in my sisters' eyes.

Karolina put her hand on Adrian's shoulder. "I'm sorry, Adrian. I know they were so mean to you."

Adrian nodded. "I never wanted to hurt any of you. But you hurt me a lot. You hurt your own brother. Do you want the clear story to be satisfied?! Sonya, Viktoria, wanna know why Dimitri isn't with Tasha?! 'Cause he's with someone else. Because he loves me, and I love him. We're dating, living together practically. And yes, I'm gay to him so stop hurting us. You want me to let him go so he could have someone's else babies 'cause obviously I can't give him that. Well, I won't. Never. He has to run away to get rid of me other than that we're together and he's mine, my boyfriend and my lover. If you didn't like it go to the Hell." He looked at me in the eyes.

I nodded to him kissing his lips then turning to them. "Yes, are you happy?! I'm gay to Adrian, and we're in love and I would never leave him."

"Can we leave?!" Adrian asked me with a very tired tone.

I nodded. "Yes, we will." I took him to my room to pack our stuff.

"Dimka. Dimka, open the door please." Mama and Karolina were knocking on my door. Adrian was lying on the bed waiting for me to finish our packing. The bottle of the Russian vodka was forgotten on the bench of the kitchen downstairs.

"Mama, please go away. Sonya and Viktoria made the worst of everything so I don't want to talk." I shouted from behind the door.

"Dimka, we're not judging you. I knew you were in love since the first night we met Adrian. I didn't tell anyone. You're my brother, I'd never stop loving you. And Adrian is a great guy. Just open the door." Karolina said. "Yeva knew too. She was waiting for you to tell."

Adrian's POV :

Everything was foggy that night. I was sober but I was destroyed by the Spirit's effects that I told Dimitri that I couldn't stay anywhere near his house. Though it was raining he agreed to do what I wanted.

Dimitri hugged his mom, his older sister and his grandma. I received hugs and apologizes from them. Sonya and Viktoria wanted to talk to Dimitri but he cut them off and we left.

He told me we couldn't leave Baia. So we went to the hotel there. I was calming down. Dimitri was angry about what happened but he held my hand all the way.

It was raining so heavily and there were thunder and lightning. Dimitri's phone started ringing when he was getting our bags out of the SUV and in front of my eyes the lightning hit him and he fell down in front of my eyes motionless.

I screamed with tears running along my face. "DIMITRI. NO." I held him in my arms his head on my lap. "Dimitri, don't leave me please. I can't live without you, Dimitri. Please don't leave me alone. I'll die without you." I screamed with all my pain and lost. With everything I had left. "DIMITRI, COME BACK."

Something happened but I couldn't know what it was. The blackness took me away. Taking me to my Dimitri. To the man I loved.

XXXXXXX

Karolina's POV :

My younger sisters were crying, my grandma was looking through the window like in waiting for something. And my mom was blaming my sisters for Dimitri's departure. She wasn't angry or disappointed 'cause Dimitri was gay. We didn't care about that. He was her only son, she wanted him to be happy with whoever he chose, and Adrian was his choice. Later we'd know that Adrian was the right choice for him.

Sooooooooooo?!

I'm sorry it's short but that for the sake of the next chapter. A lot of events, huh?!

That's the drama you asked for.

I looooooooooooove Adrian, I almost cried for him when I was writing. And Dimitr, such an amazing boyfriend.

But he died in front of Adrian. Such a very strong god-like fighter. No Strigoi can get him down. But lightning can.

Soooorry Dimka's fan. It'll get better.
