I met his lips, and I have to say I was a bit frightened that I'd be rejected. Adrian seemed surprised at first, his hand moving from my fingers into the air. I held my eyes open to his, hesitant to close them. But, Adrian closed first.

His hand wrapped around my tangled hair, curling it into small ringlets around his fingers. His other hand slid onto my back as if he thought I'd slip away. My skin was electric to his touch, and you could practically see the sparks streaming from it. Katy Perry, you were right. Fireworks do come from my skin. I thought solemnly.

"Rose, if only we were face to face." He breathed in my ear. His breath smelled faintly of alcohol and mint, but I ignored it. Relief washed through me that I wasn't making a foolish move.

"We are." I said, a smile sliding across my smug face. I turned to face him as carefully as I could without breaking the sparking kiss.

My efforts were for nothing. Adrian pulled backward, using one hand to stop me from following him by pressing against my collar bone. "What about Dimitri?" He tried to cover a small sneer in the name, but not before I caught it.

"Adrian, I'm not going to date a Strigoi." I stuck out my tongue. "That's dirty. Worse than letting a Moroi drink from a Dhampir while having sex." I frowned at him disapprovingly. "You should know me by now."

"Yeah, I should." He replied, giving me a shrug and dropping his hands. "I guess no one underestimates you. Maybe over-estimate." I laughed at the thought of everyone thinking I was with a Strigoi.

The dream started going fuzzy, like a signal interrupted from a satellite. "What the hell?"

"Someone's trying to wake me up." He looked at me with a dazed look. "I think its Lissa."

I sighed and looked down at the floor. "I miss you." My words were rushed together, just in case the dream ended.

"Turn them into I love you." He smiled a crooked smile that made my heart melt. "I'll you later, okay?"

I pecked his cheek. "Okay. Love you."

"Love you t-" His words were interrupted by me being jerked awake by Dimitri.

He sighed in relief. "Good. You don't have a concussion." His mouth twitched. "Not that I expected you to have one."

I gave a shaky laugh. "No, I was with Adrian."

"Problems?" He guessed, and I shook my head.

"Nah. He's charming, actually." All my will power went into not laughing at the sight of Adrian wearing a tux and not drinking.

"Sure, sure." Dimitri helped me sit up and handed me a bowl of sugar coated blueberries. "As you asked."

"Thanks." I looked down at the once-bloody wound and raised an eyebrow. It was a pink wrap that held my stained shirt to my body. "Pink?"

"Only thing we had."

"Sure, Sure." I repeated his words, and he shot me a look. I popped a blueberry in my mouth and chewed slowly. I watched Dimitri as he pulled out a white container with the word Bleach Scribbled on the side. "Aw, Dimitri! You should let me do that."

"You're in no condition to get up." He shot me a side glance.

"Oh, well, my blood, my clean up."

"Rose, this is your warning. Next time you're going upstairs."

"You're not Janine Hathaway." And after a second thought I added, "Or Zmey."

"Rose."

"Yes, sweetheart?"

He dropped the mop he was holding and scowled at me. "Shut up."

I waved him away. "You know me. Once I start talking, I can't stop."

"Oi!"

"Alright, Alright. I'll shut it." I gestured to my mouth and pulled the 'key'. He picked up the mop without taking his eyes off of me and watched as I shoved a handful of blueberries into my mouth.

"Okay then." He said at last. I finished up the sugary berries, and then set the bowl aside.

"I'm going to visit Lissa, okay?" He looked at me with some annoyance, but I think it was just me.

"Okay. Only a couple minutes, though. I don't want you having a concussion."

"I didn't hit my head!" I protested, but he held up a hand.

"I don't want to hear it." I pouted for a couple seconds, but then forced my way into Lissa's petty, little head.
