I smiled at him and climbed in next to him, collapsing onto the soft mass of pillows, then pulling myself closer to Dimitri, snuggling into his side, placing my head on his shoulder. I threw one leg over him and wriggled into his side, getting comfortable. He chuckled at my antics and kissed my head, wrapping his arms around me.
"Sleep Roza." He whispered and I closed my eyes, drifting into oblivion in the arms of the man I loved, I would face everyone else in the morning.
RPOV
I woke up with my head pounding I groaned, trying to roll over only to be stopped by Dmitri's arms wrapping tighter around my waist. I sighed and closed my eyes trying to fall back to sleep, not wanting to face my day quiet yet, but it was too hot.
I groaned once more and pushed Dimitri off me, swinging my legs round. I looked at the clock; it was just past 8pm. I had over slept for the first time in years. Finally I pushed myself of the bed, deciding a shower was first in order.
I quietly shut the bathroom door and immediately started stripping of my damp cloths, turning the water on full blast.
I stood under the hot water, letting it run down my back and relax my muscles, I don't know how long I had been standing there when I heard the bathroom door open.
"Hey, I'm in here." I said, pretending to be annoyed.
No one replied, I frowned.
"Hello?" no answer.
"Dimitri?" I asked.
Nothing.
I stuck my head out from behind the curtain and almost screamed. Dimitri was standing right there, a massive grin on his face.
"Yes Roza?" He asked, leaning forward for a kiss, but instead I pushed him away. "What was that for?" He asked, giving me the puppy dog eyes.
"For ignoring me." I said in a sad voice pouting a little, two could play at that game. I watched from under my eyelashes as his eyes widened in shock and he started to splutter.
Finally he just hung his head and said sorry, I laughed pulling him into the shower, cloths and all, kissing him passionately.
I push him against the shower wall, using my body to keep him prisoner. He moaned into my mouth and I smiled, pulling away slowly, skiing backwards out of the shower, lucky I didn't fall.
"Roza where are you going?" He said from in the shower, his breathing still labored.
"Breakfast, I have to face the world some time, so why not start now." I called as I left the bathroom.
"Roozzzzaaaa." He groaned.
I stuck my head back through the door. "Well hurry up." The I went to get dressed giggling to myself. I may be just a bit mean.
When I arrived in the kitchen I found Lissa and Christian had already left, but there was a note on the counter addressed to me.
Rose,
I'm sorry I had to go take care of some stuff for the queen. I hope you have a nice rest, you've earned it. Please come to the Queen's office at two. I will be there.
Love,
Your sister
Lissa
I sighed, a meeting at the queens office, that was halfway across the court. I didn't even want to leave the house. I pulled the note of the counter to find another one under it.
I know you don't want to leave the house, but too bad, if your not there, I will unleash all my pregnant fury on you.
Xx.
Lissa.
I couldn't help but smile, she still knew me so well...
I started riffling around the cupboard looking for some coca crunch, finally after searching the dozens of surrounding cupboards I decided they didn't have any. I sighed and decided to check out the Guardians kitchen to see if they had any coca crunch, I just wasn't a special K and oatmeal kind of girl.
When I entered the Guardian kitchen, Guardian Jackson was sitting at the table, just staring into space drinking his coffee.
"Do you know if there's any coca crunch in this house?" I asked, opening one of the cupboards, he just grunted in reply.
I don't know why, but it really pissed me off, I slammed the cupboard shut.
"What is your problem? Have I done something to offend you?" I asked, slamming my hands down on the opposite table, he didn't say anything, just stared at me. I leaned forward. "Well?" I shouted.
He leaned forward slowly.
"Everything about you offends me, you go against everything we were taught, you broke all the rules in the book. And when you came back, not only were you forgiven, you were apologized too." He scowled, but continued. "I've been with the princess since you left and when you left you broke her, completely. You were suppose to protect her, but you did the complete opposite. You weren't here to watch as she cried, or when she wouldn't eat for days at a time, every time something good happened to her, she ended up crying because you weren't there." I sat down, putting my head in my hands this wasn't what I had expected at all. "I've known Lissa for longer then even she would realize, I was friends with her father and when I was assigned to protect her, I vowed I would do it with my heart. But when you left, you hurt her in away that couldn't be fixed."
"You don't understand." I pleaded, holding my head out as a surrender.
"No I understand perfectly, you're spoilt, you're selfish and you don't give a fuck about the people around you, not even those you claim to love. You hurt them, all of them and then you just walk back in here like everything's okay?" He yelled, and I recoiled back into my chair. "Everyone's so happy you're back, but it was fine with you gone, Lissa was getting better and now you had to come back just to break her again, so you can run of with Guardian Belikov! Why don't you just leave now, before you cause any more damage!"
Someone cleared their throat from the doorway and I looked behind him to see Alberta, Lissa and Dimitri in the doorway all looking very mad. Guardian Jackson, looked like a dear caught in the headlights.
They entered the room, Christian, Mia, Adrian and Isabel, following them, they all came to stand behind ma, apart from Alberta, who stood next to Guardian looking like she was about to kill someone.
I recoiled from there soothing touches, realizing everything he said was true and feeling worse and worse by the minute.
"Excuse me Guardian Jackson, but what exactly do you think you were doing?" Shouted Lissa, I could feel her rage pulsating through the bond.
"I-I-I-" He stuttered.
"How dare you! You don't know what happened. I may not have been happy that Rose left, but she had her reasons and she's back now. You have no right to judge her and certainly non at all to tell her to leave again. Now get out of my house. I will be informing the guardian council that you are to be immediately reassigned." She yelled, pointing to the door signalling for him to leave.
"Bu-" He opened his mouth.
"You heard her, get out!" Shouted Christian, surprising me.
"I suggested you leave now Guardian, because I'm sure Belikov here, would have no problem doing forcefully and I doubt he would be without back up." Said Adrian. Dimitri squeezed my shoulder and I put my had on top of his, I had no doubt in my mind he was nodding in agreement. I could see him without seeing him, he jaw clenched tight, his body tense in anger.
Guardian Jackson, nodded, slowly leaving the kitchen.
They stood there in silence, everyone's eye on me. I was to afraid to speak, sure I would start crying.
Lissa pulled up a chair, sitting in next to me and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Rose, don't listen to him, I don't care that you left, just that you came back." She whispered, hugging me.
"But I hurt you." I whispered hoarsely.
She sighed. "Guys can I talk to Rose, alone please." She said and they all nodded, leaving the room, bar Dimitri. "And you Guardian Belikov, Just for a moment." I watched him through Lissa's eyes. I could see the battle going on in his head, before he finally nodded stiffly, giving my shoulder a squeeze and kissing my forehead, before leaving the room. "Yes rose you hurt me, a lot, but I know why you did it and I'm just glad you came back, so if you start feeling guilty now, it will just ruin everything. The past is the past, there is no point on dwelling on it." She finished strongly, I could feel the truth of her words flowing through the bond.
"Okay Lis," I said softly.
"Good, now lets go. I've got some spare time and I actually came back to get you and Dimitri, we're going to lunch." She smiled and stood, me following her.
As soon as I was on the other side of the door I was ambushed, everyone trying to hug me. All of my friends hugging me, telling me not to listen to him. I laughed and pushed him off.
"I'm okay guys." I said, shoving them off me. "Now come on I heard we were going out to lunch, which is great because I'm starving." As if to agree with me my stomach grumbled loudly, breaking the tension and making everyone else laugh.
I still felt like crap but I pushed it to the back of my mind now I had to leave the house and be happy with my friends for the first time in years.
It was summer and still pretty warm even at 1 am so I left my jacket at home, we all piled out of the house and into the car waiting for us. It was like, the coolest car for it's size.
"This car is awesome." I said grinning at Dimitri, who smiled and nodded in agreement.
"I know right." laughed Christian helping Lissa into the stretched hummer, then climbing in after her.
Even with the eight of us in the back and the driver there was still a bit of spare room in the back, I mean this thing was huge.
Dimitri was sitting next to, or more like under me, one hand entwined in mine with the other playing with my hair
"Why are we driving anyway, aren't we just going to lunch?" I asked.
"Yes but it's on the other side of court, and I doubted you felt like walking through court, plus it's been a big morning and I really don't have the energy." Explained Lissa, rubbing her tummy, I nodded in agreement.
I couldn't believe it with every thing that had happened in the last two days I'd almost forgotten about her pregnancy, the whole reason I'd come back. Ben was right, I was selfish.
We, or they talked for the rest of the ride about a few different things, the baby, the wedding, work, I asked questions hear and there, realizing how much of an outsider I felt like after being gone for three years.
I missed some major things, like the fact that Mia had become a Guardian. Adrians guardian non the less, it was actually how they ended up going out, apparently she got sick of his shit and told him to man up and they've been together ever since. Or that Adrian had finished law school not long after I left and was no longer living of his family name... much.
I didn't actually know that much about Christian either, ha had been campaigning for Moroi to start training in the use of defensive magic and had been approved just over three months ago. His classes were starting in the fall, Mia and Tasha was going to help him teach them, but he didn't know what was going to happen with Tasha now.
I was proud of them all, they'd really done something with their lives in such a short amount of time, I mean who wouldn't be proud of friends as amazing as mine.
We pulled up outside of a small restaurant I didn't recognize.
"We are we?" I said, the placed looked amazing and expensive.
"This is a very... exclusive restaurant." Said Lissa, "I didn't even know about it until after I was the queen told me I would be taking her place, only the very royal Moroi's know about it and even then it's hard for them to get in. But today we have the place to ourselves. Now chop chop, they have the best food in here."
Adrian had been the first one to get in the car so he got out first, then helping Mia down, the step up into the car being past her waist, she was the only one here shorter than me.
When we entered the restaurant – that was the actual name that was on the sign out the front - I couldn't help but be shocked. It was so beautiful, it didn't look like any restaurant I'd ever been too, not that, that was a lot. It had cloth covering the wall, in different shades of blue it purple with a vibrant red throw in once ever few meter, the floor was soft plus cream carpet, that made you want to take your shoes off so you could feel it under your feet. There was on table set for nine in the middle of the room.
"Who else is coming?" asked Dimitri
"Well Guardian Jackson was going to but..." Answered Alberta and Dimitri nodded and squeezed my hand. I looked up at him, giving him a quick smiling.
We took our seats around the table, I was sitting between Lissa and Dimitri.
As soon as we were settled an army of waiters came and started setting dishes in the center of the table before leaving once more.
I felt like I was in a harry potter movie, like at the start of every year how they have that massive feast with every food you could want or imagine. That part always made me hungry.
"wow." I said, my stomach grumbled at the sight of what was in front of me. There was chicken and pasta and steak and veggies and rice and Chinese and mash potato and pis and several other dishes.
I heard Dimitri chuckle and I shot him a glare.
Beside me, Lissa had stood and was waiting for us. "I brought us together today as a celebration so much has happened in such a short time that it couldn't be properly recognized. First of all I would like to congratulate Adrian and Mia on their engagement, I have to say, it's about time you two." They nodded smiling, but didn't interrupt. "Next Christian and I recently found out that we are expecting a child and were wondering if Rose and Adrian would do the honor of being the godparents for us." She said smiling at me, Christian nodding in agreement.
"I'd be honored." Whispered Adrian.
"Me too." I said, smiling ear to ear.
"And I also wanted to say thank you Rose, thanks for coming back and thanks for protecting us while you were away to, you don't know how much you helped us even though you weren't here, but I'm much happier you're home." She smiled at me and I gave her a small smile back, guilt almost overwhelming me.
"And congrats to you and Belikov, rose, I always knew you were getting special treatment from him." She Christian leaning forward to wink at me.
"Shut up sparky." I said with a smile.
Lissa cleared her throat. "Now lets eat." She said sitting down I piled my plate with everything that would fit. Everything tasted amazing. As I watched my friends smiling and laughing while they ate the guilt inside me lessened just a litte.
If they were happy, then so was I.
So hope you liked it, I am going to finish this story.
