CHAPTER 10

ADRIAN'S POV

I cannot believe it. I CANNOT believe the nerve of that old hag. Where does she get off telling me who I can or cannot be with. Talk about Blood Whores, that old, nasty Bitch has a few herself.

Damn, those dudes must be really hard up for money or something. I thought to myself as a shiver crawled over my skin. This is the second time she has made demands about Rose and I having

a relationship. Except the first time there really wasn't anything going on between us. I can't imagine what she is thinking at this point. I threw a BIG one at her about the baby. With any luck, she's

twitching on her study floor with a heart attack. And to think I really cared for her, but at this point I really could give a shit less what happens to that woman. I finally made my way to my room and I

walked straight to my bar. I wasn't keeping any promises tonight about drinking, I needed it too much. I poured myself a Vodka on the Rocks and I sat on my couch replaying the whole conversation

over and over again in my mind. I wish I could have seen her face when I sprang the news on her. I am sure it was priceless. I decided to pick up the phone and call the pilot to ask if the jet was

ready to take me back to St. Vladimir's.

" Excuse Me? That Damn Bitch." I screamed into the phone. The pilot had informed me that Aunt Tatiana suspended all flights leaving Court until further notice. "What the hell is she trying to do?"

I thought as I poured myself another drink . "She has to be putting a plan in motion. I know her, she will not quit until she achieves what she sets out to do. I have to admit I am a little worried."

I said to myself. With that thought, I better call and check up on Rose. I know Rose is going to be the person Tatiana will go after and if those two go it, someone will end up in jail or worse.

"Finally." Rose said as she answered the phone.

I laughed. "See you really do miss me. I knew you would have a hard time without me." I teased.

"Don't flatter yourself, Ivashkov." She joked.

"So what did the Old Bag, I mean your Aunt want?" Rose chuckled at her faux pas.

"Nothing really, She has plans for me to work with some of her associates." I cringed while lying to her. I couldn't tell her the truth. My ass is in so much trouble no matter which way I go.

"Plans for what? Are you lying to me Adrian?" She questioned. I swear it's nearly impossible to keep anything from her.

"No Little Dhampir, She needs my help with some Public Relation Issues." I chuckled at myself.

"OH RIGHT….You…helping with Public Relations?" Rose burst out laughing at me.

"Don't laugh! Never underestimate the power of my persuasions. Who the hell do you think lies to the newspapers when I pull some wild and reckless stunt or trash a hotel room? Yours truly,

Miss Hathaway." I boasted.

"Adrian, You really need help. With all that Ivashkov money maybe you could by a therapist?" She actually snorted while laughing at me.

"I did. She gave my money back and had herself committed." I said as I laughed at my own joke.

"When are you coming home?" She asked with all seriousness.

"That sounds so good." I said to her.

"What does?" Rose questioned.

"Coming home, I should be back in a few days. I will definitely be there before graduation. I have plans for us that night." I promised her.

"Really ? I have plans for us also." She said seductively. Lord help me I thought.

"Oh yeah! I can't wait. Can you give me a hint to what the plans may entail?" I begged.

"It's black lace with a delicate red trim." Rose purred into the phone.

"Damn Rose, I'm going to need to take a cold shower." I whined to her.

"Sorry, Than I guess I'll talk to you later. Good night." She giggled.

"Good night Little Dhampir." I signed into the receiver. I am one lucky man.

Heaven help you Ivashkov if Rose finds out you're lying to her. I said to myself. This is not good. What could Tatiana really do to Rose or me for that matter? Of course, She could reassign Rose, but

we would arrange it somehow with Lissa. She could just hire Rose as a private Guardian. I would never let Tatiana keep them apart, not because of me. I was really getting my buzz on at this point,

but it didn't stop me from pouring another. I didn't want to sit in my apartment acting sullen all night. So, I decided to give myself some down time and I headed toward the bar.

The bar was buzzing and I hadn't been out in so long. It felt good to let my guard down and relax. I saw so many people that I knew and used to hang with in college. Chase Zeklos, Rolan Conta,

John Dashkov, and Caitlin Drozdov. I walked straight to the bar and ordered myself another beverage.

"Adrian Sweetie! How are you Handsome?" Caitlin squealed as she wrapped her arms around me. Oh shit! When it rains it fucking pours around this place. I believe I am just destined for one hell

of an ass whooping when I do get home. If any of this gets out, and believe me it will. It always does, plus exaggerated by 10 fold. I am a DEAD man.

"Hey Caitlin." I gave her my most fake smile while removing her hands from me. I don't think Rose would appreciate my EX-girlfriend hanging on me. "How are you?" I asked trying to play polite.

"I am great now that you've arrived." She slurred her words. Just then she grabbed me and gave me the most sloppy, drunk kiss. Yep! I landed right in the middle of a giant shit storm.

"First, Whatever you say and Second, DON'T touch me." I rolled my eyes at her and started to walk away.

"You used to love it when I touched you before or atleast you said you did." She hissed.

"No , Not really. I was lying." I said as I turned to a voice that I recognized.

"Hey Ivashkov, How the hell are you? We haven't seen you in forever man." Chase Zeklos said while slapping my back.

"Come sit at our table. It's officially party time." Rolan Conta says while leading me to their table. Vodka, Champagne, and Wine flowed freely.

"Yeah sure, I'll have a few drinks with you guys." I agreed.

"Where have you been Ivashkov? The party scene sucks without you dude!" Said John Daskov.

"I've been at St. Vladimir for the last six months or so studying with Vasilisa Dragomir." I explained.

"Damn, You're lucky that girl is FINE." John said while Chase nodded his head in agreement.

" Yeah Well, I hear her soon to be assigned guardian puts the princess to shame." Chase added to John comment.

"What's her name again?" John asked. At this point my blood was starting to boil and I was hoping I wasn't going to have to take on three guys to defend Rose's honor. I'd end up with my ass kicked.

"Oh, Rose Hathaway. Yes, that girl is scorching HOT. But, she's a Dhampir. All she's really good for is Guarding us and and for a good banging." Rolan laughed.

"Hey Conta, Shut your fucking mouth." I growled at him.

"Whoa! What the shit, Man? I mean if you're banging her it's okay. Dude, I am soo jealous if you are. Maybe we can tag team." Rolan cheered.

I grabbed his shirt and stared him directly in the face, " I am serious, SHUT THE FUCK UP, Rose Hathaway is my girlfriend. You will not disrespect her like that, Understood?" I made it known to

everyone at our table especially Caitlin.

Chase choked on his beer. "Adrian, She's a Dhampir. Are you serious?" He asked in complete shock.

"Man, You guys are a damn bunch of self absorbed, arrogant Royal snobs." I accused.

"Don't give us that shit, Ivashkov. You're the BIGGEST royal snob there is. You're Aunt is damn Queen, Remember?" John pointed out to me. He was right, but not anymore. Look at us sitting around

in our custom made suits, Italian leather shoes, and Cashmere trench coats. I mean I won't apologize for liking the finer things, but I don't have to be an ass in the process.

"Not anymore. A lot has changed for me lately." I said.

"You're embarrassing dude, You sound so whipped." Chase joked. "Really, What's changed?"

"Rose and I are having a baby?" I declared proudly.

The table went completely silent. Eyes bugged and jaws dropped. It took all I had not to laugh at them. Except the topic of conversation wasn't something to laugh about.

"Walk away man. You don't have to take responsibility. No Moroi man hangs around unless it's a child with a Moroi woman." Rolan said.

"I think I might ask her to marry me. I mean if she will have me." I answered honestly.

"Adrian, You can't marry a dhampir. You're a Royal for Christs sake. You'll embarrass your entire family." Caitlin shouted at me.

"OH that's right Caitlin, You just keep sitting around hoping and waiting for me to ask for your hand. That would never happen." I said sarcastically.

"You're an Ass Adrian." She blushed.

" I guess I haven't changed too much." I laughed at her.

I was really wasted, but I wasn't so wasted to realize that my so-called friends are real assholes and with that last thought I took off towards my apartment to go to bed for the night.

ROSE'S POV

I was at the cafeteria table with Lissa, Christian, and Eddie. We were two days away from graduation. All exams and trials were completed. The only thing left on the schedule was graduation rehearsal.

After the graduation ceremony, We could attend the graduation dance and we were done. It was then off to the real world. We were hoping Eddie would be assigned as Christian's guardian. So, We

could all be at Court together. I looked around the cafeteria and it seemed as if every pair of eyes were settled on me.

"Guys, Does it seem as if everyone is staring at me?" I asked concerned.

"You should be used to it by now Rose." Christian smirked at me.

"Seriously?" I said really wanting an answer.

"Rose, The secret about you and Adrian is out. The news among the Royals is that the Queen was already made aware of the Child you are carrying." Lissa stated.

"You Royals are real gossip whores you know that right?" I scorned.

"Have you even begun to pack for Court yet?" Lissa asked me. I was so grateful she changed the subject.

"God No, I haven't done anything. Can you come over and help me?" I begged with puppy dog eyes.

"I have plans with Christian, but after that I can come on over." She offered.

"Oh great! Please keep it PG rated Ozera. I don't need any nightmares. I've barely gotten any sleep as it is!" I teased.

Eddie started laughing and Christian just rolled his eyes.

"Adrian's been gone a while. When he is due back?" Eddie asked.

"He said he would be here for graduation. They are having a problem with the jet or something and the Queen also has him helping with some problem." I answered.

Lissa gave me a look that I have never seen on her face before.

"What?" I asked her.

"Nothing, I just have a feeling the Queen is up to something." Lissa stated.

"Isn't she always?" Christian said. "That woman is pure evil."

"You've got that right. I am going to my room to lay down for a while. I will see you later Liss. Bye guys." I said walking away.

I had just laid down on my bed when my dad had called to inform me that both mom and himself would be at graduation. I was happy about them coming, but then I remembered I had some news to break to them.

I want to tell them together face to face. Hopefully Adrian will be here to help with their reactions. I am scared to be truthful. I haven't spoken to Adrian for a day and half and I really don't know what to think at the

moment. I wasn't going to worry about it because right now I am just too damn tired.
