P.O.V: Rose
It has been a few weeks since the argument with my father and we were getting along great. We make the same kind of jokes and sarcastic comments. We like the same kind of music and shows also. It is not hard finding something to talk to him about. I have grown to like him without any difficulty at all.
I am hanging out with Dimitri and Abe in the gym after a training session. Abe wanted to see what our sessions were like. So sadly we didn't steal any kisses or anything else of that manner. I took a sip of my water and sat in the middle of the thick blue mats that Dimitri and I were sparring on just a few minutes ago.
"So old man what did you think?" I asked my father as he struggled to sit across from me because he didn't want to wrinkle his suit.
"I think you did a good job, kiz. It was an efficient training session, but you seemed to be avoiding each other," my father answered once he seemed to have decided that he would just get his suit repressed and sit down. "Let me guess…. You guys do a lot more 'close contact' work when you are not being watched."
I chuckled, "You say 'close contact' like it's something dirty." Dimitri came to sit next to me; he had been putting the dummies away. He kissed my head and pulled me into his lap.
"I mean things like that," Abe says motioning towards Dimitri kissing my neck.
"Granted we do kiss but it's not like that's all we do we get the same amount of work done as we did today."
"Okay, it doesn't bother me. I know you're going to do that stuff at your age just be careful-"
"DAD!"
"What?" Abe asks innocently.
"I don't need that talk, okay?"
"Sure thing, kiz. So in other news your mother is coming later today."
"Why? She isn't supposed to be here for another week," mom was coming for my graduation. She was all excited says that she is looking forward to it.
Abe scratched the back of his neck, "Well apparently after the recent attack her charges think the academy is the safest things to be."
Oh right! There was an attack on the Ozera house. They are a very large family and they killed very few of them but still everyone has been on guard. I have even been more protective of Christian (I know! I know! Me being protective of Christian? But its true!). I guess it makes sense that they would want to come here I mean we have doubled up on our security since the attack here and we haven't had one since.
"Well okay then, what time?"
"She should be here in about two hours," Abe said getting up ever so carefully. "Well id better be off I have a few things that need attending to before your mother gets here."
"of course you do, ill see you later. Do you want me to meet with you to get her from the airstrip?"
Abe actually blushed haha, "No I would like to speak with her privately we will come over after she is settled in."
"Okay see you then." I hugged my father and he left then I turned to Dimitri he looked a little scared. "What?" I asked walking towards him and wrapping my arms around his torso.
"Your mom is going to hate me."
"What do you mean you know she respects you? Why would she hate you?"
Dimitri wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer, "She's going to hate me because I'm dating her daughter."
I chuckled at this, "Dimitri, she already knows were dating."
"She does?"
"Ya my dad told her," I shrugged.
"Is she okay with it or is she out for my head."
"oh you know I wouldn't let her get your head, but yes she's fine with it. Apparently she already had a suspicion," I said grabbing my bag and heading towards the showers. "I have to take a shower I smell terrible. See you in a few."
P.O.V: Abe
I took a deep breath as the plain descended onto the airstrip, not that it helped a whole lot. I don't think anything can help the nervousness I am feeling right now. Yes I've spoken to Janine since she left me, and yes I have spoken to her recently. We have even made amends but I haven't actually seen her face to face since that dreaded day.
Flashback
I walked up the drive way getting home late once again from my "work". I had been planning on taking a month off just to have time with my family. Janine did not deserve to have to take care of our beautiful newborn Rosemary all by herself. She deserved to have some help.
I opened the door and Rosemary was crying so I went to her room to see what was wrong. When I got there I saw Janine frantically running around the nursery packing a bag.
"Janie, what's going on honey?" I asked.
She jumped like she hadn't heard me coming in. When Janine turned around there were tears in her eyes and her face was all red and splotchy like she had been crying for a while. Instinctively I ran towards her and wiped the tears away from her face.
"Please, love, tell me what's wrong," I begged.
"I love you, Abe, I hope you know that."
"Of course I know that I love you too."
She took a deep breath preparing herself for what she was about to say, "I'm leaving you Abe."
"What?! Why?! No you can't leave me I won't know what to do without you. What brought this on?" I was panicking now, she couldn't leave me I just wouldn't be able to stand it.
"Please understand, Abe, I don't want to do this."
"Then why are you?"
"I have to, for the safety of our daughter, I have to."
"What are you talking about?"
"You have enemies, Abe. Enemies that will do anything to get to you. We were attacked yesterday. I can't put Rosemary through that. Know that this is not what I have ever wanted but I have to. When Rosemary is 18 and is capable of taking care of herself, you can contact her again. As for the whole time that she is growing up I will send you regular photos and updates on how she is doing. I love you, Abe." Before I could say or do anything Janine had Rose in her arms and was out of the door with just as much as she needed to get to where ever she was going.
End flashback
I know that I had the right to see her anytime but Janine was right it was the safest thing for Rose and I would do anything to keep her safe.
The door of the plane opened and on the steps stood the only woman I have ever loved, Janine Hathaway. She was even more beautiful than the day she left. Her long auburn hair swayed in the wind as it blew the freckles on her face accented the lines of it perfectly and her curves, though hidden by the bulky clothes she wore, were very prominent.
Her eyes landed on me and a smile spread across her lips, the same lips that I have been wanting to kiss for 18 years. She came down the steps and walked towards me.
"Abe, I've missed you," Janine said closing the gap between us. My arms went around her petite waist and hers went around my neck.
I whispered, "Janine." As my lips came down to connect with hers.
P.O.V: Dimitri
"Do you want me to be here when she comes over?" I asked Rose as we sat down on the couch in he dorm room.
Rose cuddled into my side and I wrapped my arm around her waist, "I always want you here."
"Mmmm, that's good because I always want to be here." I smiled down at her, she was just so perfect. Rose leaned up and I leaned down and our lips fused together in a soft loving kiss that soon grew to be hot and passionate. There was a knock at the door interrupting us. Rose groaned, fixed her shirt and hair as she got up to answer it.
"Hey guys I thought you were going to come here after mom got settled in, come on in," Rose let her parents.
"Your mother wanted to come see you first," Abe answered her then saw my disheveled appearance. "Did we interrupt something?"
"Of course not," I answered at the same time Rose said, "In fact you did." Abe and I chuckled and Janine said, "Well I'm sorry, Rosemary." In a rather uncomfortable tone.
I got up and wrapped my arms around Rose from the back, "Its fine."
"That's what you say," Rose grumbled under her breath. I just kissed the top and repeated myself but this time I whispered it in her ear, "Its fine."
I turned to Roses mother now, "Hello again, Guardian Hathaway, I hope your flight was pleasant." I extended my hand to her still with Rose in front of me just in case. I know that Rose said she was fine with it but she was still a very scary woman. She shook my hand and said, "It was thank you Guardian Belikov."
"Please call me Dimitri."
"Okay I will." Then she turned to Rose, "How is school going? You have trials tomorrow don't you?"
Rose pulled me to the bed and motioned for her parents to sit on the couch while she sat in my lap on the bed. "Yes I do, and school is going well."
"Are you prepared? Your trials are very important." Janine said kindly she really has softened since Spokane.
"I sure hope I am, and I know there important if I don't pass my trials I don't become a guardian," Rose replied nervously.
"You'll do great, Roza. You are the best student in your class, you've already had your first kills and we have run through the course a hundred times. You'll be perfect," I said kissing Rose's neck.
"Thanks Comrade," Rose smiled and pecked me on the cheek. We spent the next hour just talking until Janine decided that she should go unpack and Abe followed her out. I watched some T.V. cuddled up with rose on her bed until we both fell asleep.
P.O.V: Abe
I was walking Janine to her room with her bags on my arms and making light conversation with her. I miss doing this with her, I really hope that now that Rose is 18 Janine and I can go back to the way it was before but its never that easy is it?
So what did you think?
Should I put some Abe Janine action in there to or not?
Do you think Janine approves of Dimitri or is just being nice?
Should Abe to take dimitri hunting?
Tell me everything!:)
