I haven't seen much of Adrian lately. Or even Dimitri. I've been in this house for the better part of the week. Since that day with Dimitri, the day I realized I might have *wince* feelings for him, Dimitri has kept his distance. It's probably for the best, I guess. I mean it's not smart to be involved with him, especially under these circumstances. And if Adrian were to suspect anything... In a perfect world, Dimitri and I would be able to be together, no problem. I mean, assuming Dimitri even had feelings for me as well. But this isn't a perfect world. In fact, it sucks. And I won't be getting my fairy tale ending. I'm going to have to suck it up. Actually, I think it's amazing how calmly I've taken all of this. I'm sure it's because of Dimitri's family. I feel like their lives depend on me. People I don't even know, and I'm staying with a psychopath to keep them safe. That's Rose-logic for you. At least the food is good.

I've been occupying myself to try and stop thinking so damn much. I organized the books in the library, organized the pantry. I've become a typical house-wife. It's disgusting. I wish I could take Dimitri up on that training offer. I would, but...

I sat on the couch and picked up the remote. Pointing it at the tv, I flipped through channels randomly. I stopped when I saw a picture of myself. Frozen, I paid attention.

"Rosemarie has been missing for nearly two months now. Normally the search would've downgraded into a simple poster on a bulletin board. But with Mazur's involvement in the case.. there's no telling what lengths this investigation will go to"

My jaw literally dropped. I was on national news."Holy shit" I mumbled. There was no way. Mazur? That was the name of that guy looking for me? The mobster. I jumped up and started pacing.

"Shit shit shit" This couldn't be good. I mean, yeah, it kinda feels good to have someone look for me, but at the same time, what if he actually does have me found? What would happen to Adrian? To Dimitri? There was no sign of anyone in the house with me, did they actually trust me to be alone?

"Dimitri!" I yelled. I stood, tapping my foot, counting the seconds. In exactly eight, Dimitri ran in. He looked ready to kill, and I couldn't help but laugh. He looked around, and seeing there was no danger, he relaxed.

"What?" he asked. I simply pointed to the television. He looked at it, back at me, then back at the tv. I sat down and he did as well. I turned up the volume.

There were three people talking about it. "Is that Nancy fucking Grace"

Dimitri nodded slowly. "The fact of the matter is, Rosemarie was seen walking into a dark alley, by herself, and later a large van was seen leaving it. How is no one able to chase that van? This is an attractive young woman, someone who is clearly of major importance to Mazur, and no one had even noticed anything for over a week!" Nancy had always been very enthusiastic.

"This was right after a breakup with a long term boyfriend! Who is to say that she was even kidnapped? There are reports of her sobbing. Maybe she left to get away from the situation" another man said. I snorted.

"Without even a notice to her boss? No note, no anything? Her clothes are still in her apartment Tom" You go Nancy, I silently cheered her in my head.

"Women can be unpredictable" he retorted.

"Are you serious!? This woman-" Dimitri took the remote and shut the tv off. He exhaled deeply and put his head in his hands, his elbows on his knees.

"Dimitri?" "I have no idea what we are going to do. He said you had no family, no connections anywhere" his voice was low, soft, defeated.

"I don't" I whispered. At least that's what I had thought. My family back in Iowa, no communication with them...

"Now you do. Ibrahim Mazur is looking for you Roza. And what Mazur wants, Mazur gets"

"Why is he looking for me? I have no idea who he is!" my anxiety was showing in my voice.

"He has to let you go now. He has to know that he will find you" he looked up at me, and his face was hard.

"This should have never happened"

"You're telling me" I snorted.

"I'm sorry this ever happened" his face was sad now. So many emotions with him... I just wanted to hug him... and kiss him...

"It could've been worse. I could have been tied up, and held captive by someone worse"

"Adrian isn't bad?" he questioned.

"I meant you. You could've been worse. But you've been so... nice. And.. caring" the words were a struggle to get out. My face started to heat up, I could feel it turning red.

"Roza..." He was so quiet. We stared at eachother. I waited for him to close the distance, to kiss me god dammit.

Dimitri slowly shook his head, stood up, and walked out of the room. He left me sitting there on the sofa, in the silent living room.
