Chapter Ten

Dimitri couldn't stay any longer that night. Guardian duties and all.

I continued to play our short conversation in my head as I lay here in bed. It was...a weird - I guess that's how you could put it – conversation.

It was like I just lost it. But what was with him? He wasn't acting like himself at all and he wasn't giving me any answers what so ever.

I hadn't even realised how long I had been lying there just thinking until I looked at the alarm clock next to my bed that read 10:30.

With a sigh I decided it actually wouldn't be too comfortable to sleep in these clothes so I changed into my usual pyjamas.

Sleep found me easily and it seemed like minutes instead of hours when my alarm woke me up in the morning.

With a groan I shut it off and got ready for the day...

I again didn't have my normal training with Dimitri. Apparently it wasn't just yesterday that there was a guardian meeting but today as well. I wonder what about?

For once I was okay with not having my trainings with him. I think it would all just be too awkward.

My usual first class of the day was my Advanced Guardian Combat techniques. It was one of my favourites. Not only because it was a physical subject but because often a Novice instead of a teacher would teach the class.

So in other words we got to slack off a bit. Of course there was a guardian watching, they would never completely let us on our own, I can just imagine what would happen...

Eddie was good at taking over the class. He was one of the best.

From that class on, the day went by surprisingly fast. Lissa caught up with me after last period and asked if I wanted to go to one of the spare lounges to watch a movie tonight with Christian, Eddie and...Adrian.

I still didn't really want to see Adrian, I felt kind of bad about how I snapped at him and our last conversation really didn't leave us on good terms.

I said yes anyway because I'm sure Lissa wouldn't have let me say no anyway. I probably wouldn't even end up talking to Adrian if we were all watching the movie.

I went back to my dorm just for a little bit since I had no training. I caught up with a little homework until it was around the time that I told Lissa I would meet her at the lounge.

When I got there Lissa, Christian and Eddie were there but Adrian wasn't.

"So...Where's Adrian?" I tried to ask casually since they didn't know about our fight, or the fact that we had kissed.

Lissa frowned. "Actually he's not coming." I gave her a questioning look. "I don't know why, it was weird he just said that he couldn't, I asked why and he said because he was busy."

Busy? What could he possibly be busy with? He didn't have school or anything.

The only reason he was here was to practise magic with Lissa so other than that he was usually the one who was asking to do stuff with us since he was always bored.

I wasn't stupid, I knew it was because of our fight. But still it was a bit strange for him to want to avoid me. Then again, we had never really had a fight before.

"Oh." Is how I responded shrugging my shoulders and plopping down on the couch next to Lissa.

"So what are we watching?" Eddie asked.

We stayed watching the movie until it was getting late. Luckily, this time we all compromised on a movie so we didn't have to sit through another one of Lissa's sucky Romance movies and we ended up settling for a Drama.

But strangely enough, Adrian was on my mind the whole time. Actually not just Adrian, but Dimitri as well.

Was I having guy trouble of what?

I felt the need to apologize to Adrian. Yeah, that's what I'll do, deal with one at a time. I decided straight after the movie was over that I would go to his dorm.

I said goodbye to Lissa and the others and soon enough I was outside of Adrian's.

I knocked twice and in a few seconds he answered.

He looked surprised to see me but in a quiet voice he said "Hey"

I tried to give a small smile. "Hey."

Awkward much?

He cleared his throat and stepped to the side of his door so I could enter. I walked over and took a seat on his couch and he joined me.

I didn't waste any time speaking. It had never felt like this between Adrian and I and I wanted it to stop.

"Look Adrian," I started, "I'm sorry." But the last 'I'm sorry' part we both said together at the same time.

I looked at him with raised eyebrows. "You're sorry?" I asked in confusion. He really had nothing to be sorry about.

"I'm sorry, I overreacted yesterday." He said his voice low.

"You're not the one who overreacted. I'm shouldn't have snapped at you." This was actually weird for me since it wasn't too often that I apologized.

"But I'm the one who kissed you the other night—"

"That took two, you were right about me kissing bac—"

"No Rose. I practically jumped on you I was drunk and—"

"And I wasn't. So it wasn't—"

"But the first time you tried to stop me but I just came back for mor—"

"It doesn't matter since the second time I—"

"And then you were the one who got in trouble for it all."

We both stopped. We had been interrupting each other's sentences when we were trying to take the blame and say sorry. Something I'm sure neither of us often do.

All of a sudden we both busted out laughing at how stupid this all was.

In a way it was both of our faults and neither at the same time. But really this was all over no big deal, the only big deal was how serious we were acting before.

When we stopped laughing I could see that Adrian was smirking his usual Adrian smirk that just brought a smile to my face.

"How about we both take the blame?" Adrian suggested.

I nodded. "Sure and let's just start over."

"Okay, Hi I'm Adrian Ivashkov." he said extending his hand.

"Oh god, I didn't mean that sort of start over." And he knew it.

He chuckled. "That's ok Little Dhampir, I wouldn't change the way we met anyway."

I smiled, yeah when I first met Adrian at the Ski Lodge I thought he was a total flirt—Ok actually, he still is.

We talked a few more minutes never mentioning the kiss again, I was a bit worried that he might take the kiss seriously and think I wanted to be more then friends. At some point, I did want to but that was really for all the wrong reasons.

I could see that it was getting very late so we both said goodbye.

The next day I was enjoying my sleep when I heard a knock on the door.

I resisted the erg to scream at them to go away, but lucky for them, I didn't. Pulling the covers down I walked to the door, I half expected it to be Dimitri but when I woke up more I could tell it was Lissa.

I opened up the door while yawning. "Hey Liss, what's up?" I didn't even know if she understood me in the middle of my yawn but she gave me an amusing look.

"I woke you up?" she asked. I nodded. "Well I had to; I got informed by headmistress Kirova that Queen Tatiana wants me to go to the Royal Court for a couple of days with Adrian. You're allowed to come too."

I was a bit surprised. "Why would I be allowed to come?"

She suddenly felt nervous.

"Lissa" I narrowed my eyes at her. "Did you use compulsion?"

She rolled her eyes. "It was only a little bit, and I wanted you to come." Her voice came out in a wine.

I couldn't really argue with her and I really didn't feel like it. It's not like I could stop it now. I sighed, "When are we leaving?"

She smiled, happy that I didn't argue with her about using magic. "This afternoon, so after your classes quickly pack."

"Why so soon? What does the queen want anyway?" It was all very short notice.

She shrugged. "I guess I'll have to wait and see."

"So, who else is going?"

"Um.. You, me, Adrian, Christian, Guardian Belikov and some other Guardian."

"Okay"

"Well, I better let you get ready, seeya later."

"Yeah, bye." I shut the door and started to get dressed.

Oh great. I had to go to the Royal court with Adrian and Dimitri.
