I can't tell you how fucking nice it was to wake up in my own bed on a Saturday morning. And even better was to know that I would see Dimitri and for the first time I didn't want to be late for our training. I got out of bed and walked up to my closet and got dressed in navy blue, loose training trousers with a casual black tank top. I brushed through my dark hair and put it up in a ponytail. While getting dressed my mind floated back to the time with Dimitri in St. Vladmir and Anna's room.

After Dimitri had been talking in his sleep and woken up, we'd been talking for maybe a few hours only about us. How we could make us work. I'd loved how that tiny word "us" had rolled off his tongue so beautifully. After a little while he'd asked me to fall asleep again and after a while I had. The next thing I knew I woke up in the middle of the day – night – in my own bed and realized Dimitri had somehow managed to carry me all the way up to my room without anyone noticing.

I shook myself out of my thoughts and grabbed my bag, running all the way down to the gym. Dimitri was already in movement. I walked up to him with a smile on my face. Dimitri finally noticed me and smiled back at me. He stopped with whatever he was doing and met me halfway across the room. He quickly glanced around and then planted a kiss on my lips.

"Good morning Roza." He let the words sound sweet and sensual with a little extra Russian accent over them then usually. I shivered as they reached me and I could feel my whole body aching for him but he pulled back and pointed outside.

"Well, no time to get all lovey-dovey now… Outside, ten laps, I'll run with you." Short words that held so much power in them and I obeyed immediately. I had to push myself more then usual to keep up with him today. He seemed to be in a good mood as well today and it made me feel even better. After the tenth lap I could still feel the warmth from Dimitri's kiss.

"Thank you." I said after the lesson was done. Dimitri arched an eyebrow at me and I made a face that clearly told him I didn't like what he was doing. He gave a chuckle and than wrapped me in his arms from behind and started to fall straight backwards. I panicked for a moment and shrieked but we landed on a thick mattress. I tried to get out of his arms to turn around and face him but he didn't let go of me. Instead he just laughed harder and I twisted and kicked to get away. I started laughing too and relaxed and not until then did he let go. I laid beside him just relaxing for a moment in silence.

"Rose, there's something I'd like to talk to you about." Dimitri said and kissed my forehead. Usually when he called me Rose, he wanted to talk about something bad or really serious but his voice sounded nothing like it. He sounded as relaxed and happy as before.

"What's up comrade?" I asked and turned my face to meet his.

"We had a short meeting between the teachers at St. Vladmir earlier today and there was some who thought you students should get to have a good time before graduating and all. So they're organizing a special prom for all high school students, classes one, two and three. All the teachers will attend as well as to say goodbye to the students that are graduating. You'll get to have dates and you can go with one of the teachers – man or woman – if you've come close to them. Therefore I'd like to ask you if you'd want to be my date for this prom." Dimitri's smile just got warmer and warmer by each word he spoke and so did my body. I could feel all my love for him expanding even more – if possible. I sat up and so did he. I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him harshly.

"Of course I want to!" I exclaimed and kissed him again and again. I couldn't be happier!

The rest of the students got the information the next week. I was on history – one of the few classes I shared with Lissa. Kirova was coming around to all classes telling the news. She looked tired when she came to our class and I guessed we probably was her last class to tell. Our history teacher seemed happy to see Kirova – who the hell could be happy over seeing Kirova?

"Can I please have your attention class! We have a visit from Headmistress Kirova so let's hear what she wants to tell us! Shut up Hathaway!" People around us quieted down but when our teacher said 'Shut up Hathaway' there were giggles and laughter's everywhere.

"The staff at St. Vladmir has decided that it's only faire to give all the graduating students a proper goodbye this year since many of you have been with us for almost eighteen years now.

All of the teachers will attend at this prom that we've organized and if you're a graduating student you're allowed to take a teacher as your date. All high school students – year one, two and three – will attend to the prom as well. If you have further question you can talk to any teacher, all of them have all the information." Kirova said her goodbye and left. All around me I could hear people whispering about who to take to the dance.

"I'm going to ask Dimitri Belikov! He's hotter than the sun and how nice wouldn't it be to take someone like him to the dance?" Some girls said and I couldn't help but to think, oh no you won't because he's taken!

In the afternoon when I had practice with Dimitri again, while I put on my gymnastic shoes a large group of girls (could it be at least thirty of them?) entered the gym and ran up to Dimitri, giggling, squealing and some were even practicing on how to ask him to the dance.

"Guardian Belikov, would you go with me to the dance?" One after another asked and soon it was all loud pleadings and yelling at one another that she wasn't worth going with him. Dimitri looked taken aback and tried to smile politely to all the girls.

"Ehm… Well, sorry girls but I already have someone I'm going with to the dance." Dimitri excused and then made the girls leave the gym. When closing the doors he breathed out in relief of getting rid of them all. I smirked at him and he just shook his head in disbelief.

"How many girls have asked you today?" I asked, still smirking at him and he looked like he was counting but then gave up.

"I don't know but I know many have. Probably half of the girls… All of them are as curious to know who "stole" me from them. And you? Has anyone asked you other than me?" I gave him my famous man-eater smile.

"Yes, more than one. Why, are you jealous comrade?" I teased and he smirked at me. He tilted his head to one side and walked up to me, pulling me to my feet and close to him so that he could use his, very much disturbingly sexy Russian accent when he answered,

"Depends, how many is 'more than one'?" Oh I was enjoying this game. I pretended to think about it but I honestly couldn't count them. Just like Dimitri, I'd gotten many requests. The most noticeable was the one from Mason, Eddie, and Jesse Zeklos and otherwise they just came from some other Moroi and dhampir guys. I'd rejected all of them pretty harshly except from Mason and Eddie, since they were my friends.

"Hmm, more than I can count on my fingers and yours together at least…" And so we kept on teasing and joking with each other. Let's just say – it was the best practice we'd ever had.

Okay, so a little shorter chapter since the next one will be some shopping and well, you'll see! So don't forget to leave a review :)

XOXO!
