Chapter Eleven
I almost turned right back around and walked out, I couldn't deal with him right now, but I knew that I would have to do it sometime. I just didn't think I could be as strong this time. I had started thinking about the possibilities of us since he told me he wanted to be with me again. But Vik was right he had completely destroyed my trust. I never thought for a second that giving him my soul would hurt me so completely and I didn't think I was ready to forgive him for that yet.
"Rose, what I said about you and Aleksis, I'm sorry that I said those things, I didn't mean them, I was just jealous." Dimitri said.
"Ok, but why do you think you've go a right to be jealous? You rejected me, over and over again, you wanted me to move on. Not that I would have done that with Alex, he reminds me of Mason, that's why I like spending time with him."
I hadn't told anyone about the fact that Alex reminded me a lot of Mason, firstly because they didn't know him and secondly because I didn't want Alex to think I only liked him because he reminds me of my dead friend.
"I am so sorry Rose I didn't realise."
"No, because you didn't bother to ask. Besides, he saved my life, I'm not going to ignore him just to soothe your male pride."
"But it should have been me there, if I hadn't been so stupid it might not have even come to saving your life."
"Yeah maybe, but there's a reason you weren't there Dimitri, I know you said that when you looked at me it reminded you of what you did to me, so what's changed?"
"I nearly lost you Roza, it made me realise that, even though what I did to you was terrible and unforgivable, it shouldn't be what keeps us part now."
"But it was never that, it was you that was keeping us apart." He flinched "I told you that I had forgiven you for all of that, you couldn't help it and I know that, but you didn't listen to me. Now its you that's kept us apart all this time, its you that completely broke my heart and my trust, not the Strigoi you, just you, and that's what I can't forgive right now."
I know I was being a bit harsh on him, but he needed to understand why I couldn't just take him back. I hadn't looked at him the whole time we were talking, I knew that if I did, that would be all it took for me to take him back, and I wanted to so badly, but I didn't trust him, and I needed to trust him before I could take him back, otherwise it wouldn't be fair to him.
"I swear Roza, I will do everything I can to win back your trust, I promise that I will never and could never hurt you again."
I couldn't help it, I looked up at him, there were tears in his eyes, and I knew that I had caused those tears, I hated myself for upsetting him because I know how it feels. I couldn't help it I moved closer to him and pressed my lips to his. He groaned and kissed me harder, there was so much passion and love in his eyes that I felt my whole resolve slip and suddenly he was on top of me kissing my neck.
He trailed kisses all the way down to my collar bone. Lingering on the spot that he knew made me groan, and I did. My hands found their way inside his top and felt his hard chest. I took my hands out and pulled his t-shirt over his head. I threw it on the floor and ran my hands along his chest. It felt so good to finally be able to do this again.
He returned to kissing me on my lips, he slipped one of his hands up my top while the other supported his weight against me, his fingers running along the edge of my bra. I groaned.
At that moment the door banged open and Vik came rushing in. She took one look at us, when bright red, whispered something in Russian and ran straight back out again shouting as she went, "I am so sorry!" And as if a tidal wave had hit me I realise what I was just about to do. I sat up and pushed Dimitri away from me. He looked confused and hurt.
"I'm sorry Dimitri, this shouldn't of happened, I want to be fair to you and doing what we just did is leading you on because I'm not really ready to take you back yet."
He got up off the bed and slipped his shirt back on. He turn to look at me, got down on his knees so he was at the same eye level as me, leaned forward and kissed me lightly on the lips.
"I understand Roza, I have a lot of making up to do."
"I also need to tell Adrian before anything happens, I don't want to be unfair to him, he doesn't deserve it."
"I completely forgot about him, how soon will you be able to tell him?"
"I'll tell him when we get back to Vagas, this is something that needs to be done face to face, I owe him that much."
Dimitri stood up and turned to leave.
"Ok." was all he said.
"Oh I forgot to tell you, Lissa said the guardians have stopped following them, we can go to Vagas whenever we're ready."
"I'll go and call the airlines now."
After he left the room a laid back down on my bed and called out,
"It's ok Vik he's left you can come in now."
She popped her head sheepishly around the door.
"Rose, I am so sorry, I didn't realise you were both up here otherwise I would have never.."
"It's alright." I cut her off, "It was a good thing you did if I'm honest, I'm not ready for that yet."
"Then why were you…actually, I don't think I want to know." she said pulling a face that made me laugh.
"You're probably right." I giggled.
"I am glad that you're sorting stuff out though."
"Yeah, me too. Thanks for having words with him."
"My pleasure, he may be my brother, but you're my sister, and he was being an ass, somebody needed to tell him."
"Well thank you."
"So I heard you tell Dimka that you can go to Vagas now, I'm going to miss you, I wish I could come."
"Well I would say that you could come with but if we get caught we are going to be in some serious trouble and I don't want you to get caught up in all that, it could really harm your future."
"I know, Dimka said I couldn't come either. I just hate the thought that this could be the last time I see you."
"I promise that when all this crap is over I'll come back and visit you."
"Good, because I feel like I haven't spent much time with you this time."
"That's probably because I was unconscious for most of the visit."
"Yeah I think you right." she said laughing
"Well I think I'm going to go to bed now, I'm tired and it's been a really long day."
"Sure thing Rose, do you want me to get you up in the morning for your training with Alex?"
"Yes please, he said he would be round at seven if that's alright?"
"Yeah that's fine I have chores to do so I'll be up then anyway."
Just as Vik was about to leave, Dimitri put his head around the door.
"We can't get a flight out until next week, is that alright?"
"Yeah, that's fine, it means we get to spend a little bit longer here." I said smiling.
"Ok do you want me to let the others know now, or do you want to call them in the morning?"
"I'll call Lissa in the morning."
He nodded and left. Viktori also got up and left leaving me on my own. I got into my pyjamas and into bed, I fell asleep almost at once. I thought that Adrian might have visited my dreams tonight, but he didn't which I thought was strange, but quickly dismissed it and let the darkness off sleep wash over me.
So guys let me know what you think? What do you think about the whole Rose and Dimitri thing? and how soon do you think Rose should forgive him? Review! :)
