Hi guys. Thankyou for all the reviews! I dont know whether I remembered to say this last chapter, but I would like to now because they have really inspired me like always! I managed to update a bit quicker this time. This chapter is quite long. I decided now that Rose and Dimitri are back together, my story needed some drama again. I hope you like it, and review with contructive critism like always :)
I was wondering also, should Tasha be a bitch, or happy for Rose and Dimitri?
Chapter Twelve…
I decided that I couldn't be bothered with everyone's conversations about rubbish at the moment, so I decided to go and find Dimitri. Even though he more than likely wasn't in his room, I checked there first. I knocked a couple of times, but got no response. My second guess was to wander around campus and find him on his shift.
It didn't take me long, and after a few minutes walking I saw him patrolling by himself. I walked up to him. "Hey Comrade." I greeted him.
He smiled down at me. "Hey." He responded. "What are you doing?" He asked.
I shrugged. "I just felt like seeing you." I said laughing.
He laughed with me. "Well, my shift definitely just got better."
I smiled. We spent the next half an hour walking and talking. I got to hold his hand seen as though we were far enough away from campus. For the first time in a long while I felt genuinely happy.
Soon his shift was over and we headed back towards campus. I felt the loss when he let go of my hand, but I knew it had to be done. "Do you want to go back to your room?" He asked. "I haven't got another shift for a while."
"Sure." I said smiling. I knew he felt the same as me, and just didn't want to be apart from me just yet.
When we reached my room, I unlocked it and gestured him to come in. He sat on my bed, and I joined him by sitting on his lap. His arms subconsciously wrapped themselves around my stomach. "That's amazing you know." He said, whilst rubbing my stomach.
I lifted my top up and placed his hands on my stomach properly. The minute they touched I felt kicking. Dimitri gasped, and I laughed. I spun around so I was now straddling him and repositioned his hands so they were on a different on my stomach. The baby kicked again, and Dimitri smiled brightly. He looked so happy, and it made me feel happy as well.
I couldn't help but push my lips to his. He responded instantly and his hands moved from my stomach. One twisted itself in my hair, and the other placed itself on my lower back. I pushed myself into him, arching my back. My hands entangled themselves in his hair.
After kissing him for a while, he brought my shirt up over my head, discarding it somewhere on the other side of the room. We resumed kissing, and it became more urgent and deep. I was to lost in the feeling of kissing Dimitri that I didn't notice the door open. The shock through the bond was what alerted me to Lissa entering the room. I quickly turned around and blushed. I noticed that Christian was with her, he had a highly amused look on his face. Lissa looked pissed. She stared at me. "What the hell are you doing Rose?" She asked in a controlled voice. You could here the venom dripping off her words, and it startled me slightly.
"I…" I stammered out.
Lissa didn't want to listen to my explanation. Instead she stormed out of my room, without saying anything. I just sat there startled. Christian hadn't left yet, and he cut me a glance. "Sorry Rose. I didn't know you were going to be occupied." He said smirking. I glared at him. "I will try and soften her up a bit, okay?" He said.
I nodded. "Thanks Christian. I never meant for her to find out like this." I said, looking down.
Christian nodded, then left. I turned back to Dimitri, and the tears began to pour out. Dimitri held me close, and I felt slightly happier. Lissa hated me. I could feel the hatred and anger pouring through the bond into me. Looking deeper I realised that there was a lot of darkness from spirit making the situation even worse.
I looked up at Dimitri. "Lissa's full of darkness." I said. "I'm going to take it from her." I warned him.
He looked uneasy. "Are you sure?"
"I have to do it." I assured him. He nodded. He knew what had happened the last time I took the darkness from Lissa, and he was preparing himself. I opened up the bond, and let the unwanted feelings seep into me. The bond cleared and Lissa felt slightly better. She still had the feelings of anger towards me, but it was no longer hatred.
Unfortunately, I now wanted to punch something. I looked at Dimitri and he instantly noticed my change in mood. He didn't waste anytime in trying to bring me back to normal. He grabbed my face and kissed me hard and deep. I started to struggle against him, but he held me firmly. After a couple of seconds, I found myself responding to his kiss, and the anger in my was gone.
Even though my anger was now defused, I didn't feel like stopping kissing Dimitri anytime soon. I still had no top on, but Dimitri did, so I spent no time in pulling it off and discarding on the floor somewhere. Dimitri spun me over and pushed me into the bed, hovering on top of me.
The rest of our clothes quickly came off, and for the third time, we had sex.
When we were finished, Dimitri checked his watch. He cursed under his breath in Russian. "I have to go, my shift started ten minutes ago." He said hurriedly, whilst pulling his clothes on.
"Okay." I said. "Love you."
He leaned towards me, giving me a long kiss. "I love you to Roza, so much." Then he left. I decided it was time to check on Lissa.
I focused on the bond, to see where she was. She was with Christian. I knew they weren't doing anything I wouldn't want to see and I was genuinely curious at what Christian would say to Lissa about the situation. So, I went into her head.
She was sat on her bed opposite Christian. She still had anger pouring through her. "I can't believe didn't tell me." She hissed.
Christian looked wary. "I am sure she had a good reason for not telling you. You must have seen how hurt she was when he left." He said. I cringed. Lissa hadn't even noticed.
"What do you mean? She seemed fine." Lissa defended herself.
"No she didn't. You could see it in her eyes. She was heartbroken. Then when Dimitri came she looked even worse. That is why she was staying at Adrian's, because he was the only one who knew. He was comforting her. Nothing actually happened between them." Christian told her softly. I could tell he was hesitant about telling her this, but it needed to be said. I was grateful to Christian. He was putting himself in the firing line to help me.
"Are you saying that Adrian knew about this the whole time?" She demanded. She was even more furious now. She couldn't believe that I had told Adrian before her. She was also annoyed at herself for not noticing how upset I was.
Christian nodded. Seeing how distressed Lissa was he added on to his statement. "She didn't tell him though. Adrian found out when they were at the ski lodge because he heard them arguing about something."
Lissa nodded at his statement. Then she thought about something else. "You sure do seem to know a lot about this." She said, looking at Christian. He shifted uncomfortably. Realisation flooded through her. "You knew." She said looking at Christian. "You knew and you didn't tell me!" She screeched. The anger was back.
"Look Liss. I saw how she was when he came back. I went to talk to her about it and she told me everything. She was so upset, she was crying and everything. She told me not to tell you because she didn't want to worry you. They weren't together again when I found out." He told her.
Anger still flowed through Lissa, but there was a hint of sympathy when he mentioned me crying. However she focused on the anger and took it out on Christian. "No! You should have told me anyway! I cant believe you Christian!" She shouted at him. "Get out! I don't want to see you!"
Christian took one last look at her, then got up and left. Regret instantly flooded through Lissa as soon as he had shut the door. I didn't have time to dwell on it however, because I had to go and find Christian. I couldn't believe he had fallen out with Lissa defending me.
I jumped up and headed out of my dorm room. I knew Christian wouldn't be moving fast, but I knew he would be going to the church attic. It did feel nice to have someone sticking up for me, but I didn't want Christian to fall out with Lissa because of it. After running at top speed towards Lissa's room for a couple of minutes, I saw Christian walking to the opposite way. I practically crashed into him.
"Christian!" I shouted.
He looked startled and turned around. His face showed even more confusion when he saw it was me who had shouted him. "What's up Rose?" He asked.
"You can't fall out with Lissa because of my stupid mistakes." I said.
He looked confused. "How did you-" He began.
"I was in her head for the whole thing." I said cutting him off.
"Oh."
"Seriously though Christian, go and make up with her or something. I don't want you to have an argument because of me. I was stupid not to tell her, but I just didn't want her to worry you know. When Dimitri left I wasn't myself and it would just worry her if she thought there was something wrong with me." I told him honestly.
"No Rose." He said. I was about to argue when he started speaking again. "I stick by my decision. She was wrong to get so worked up about it when she hadn't even listened to you. It wasn't my place to tell her about your relationship, so I didn't. She can't blame me for that." He said.
I could see his logic, but I still didn't want him to fall out with Lissa because of it. I am sure we would make up eventually, but I didn't want them to ruin there relationship permanently. "You should still make up with her. We will make up eventually." I argued.
I could tell just by his face he wasn't going to change his mind. "I'm sticking by my decision." He retorted. "And you can't change it."
Well, if he wasn't going to change his mind, then I might as well thank him for it. I went and hugged him. "Thanks Christian. No matter how much I think you should make up with her, I'm still grateful you stuck up for me." I said smiling.
He smiled back. "No problem Rose." He said laughing, before turning and walking away. I smiled slightly and decided to go back to my room. It was past curfew now, and if I got caught I knew I would be in trouble.
Skilfully, I made my way back to my room without being caught. However when I opened the door to my room, I was surprised to find a figure on my bed. I almost laughed out loud when I saw he was reading one of those dreadful westerns. "Hey Comrade." I said, after I had closed the door again. "What are you doing here?" I asked.
I was happy to see him, obviously, but I still wondered why he was here. "I came to see if you were okay. Were you just out talking to Lissa?" He asked. Of course he thought I was with Lissa. He wanted to make sure I was okay and to see if I had made up with her yet.
"No, I wasn't with Lissa. I went to see Christian." I said, whilst walking towards him. I sat down on the bed next to him, but he pulled me onto his lap instead. I leaned into him and his arms wound around my stomach. I couldn't help but smile at how well we fit together.
"Christian?" He asked, shocked. He thought I would be going to Lissa to explain myself. He probably thought that Christian would side with Lissa as well.
"Yeah. I tried to persuade him to make up with Liss." I informed him.
"Christian and Lissa have fallen out?" He questioned, shock lacing his words and face once again.
"Yeah. They haven't split up or anything, obviously, but Lissa just told Christian to get out." I explained. I decided to fill him in on the whole story if anything was going to make sense. "Lissa was pissed at me, and when they got back to her room, she began rambling about how she couldn't believe I hadn't told her and stuff. Then Christian defended me saying that I was really depressed when you had left and that I hadn't want to speak about it."
Dimitri looked pained when I said I had been depressed after his departure. "Sorry." He muttered.
I ignored his apology, and carried on with my explanation. "Then she explained that's why I was staying at Adrian's, because he was the only one who knew the truth. Then she got even more annoyed because Adrian had known before her. She was angry at herself for not noticing I was depressed as well." I told him.
He nodded along with me. "I'm surprised that she didn't notice though." He said skeptically. It wasn't that he didn't believe me, he just didn't believe Lissa would be so naïve knowing how close we were.
"Me too actually." I admitted. In a way it might have actually benefited both of us if she had found out back then. "I always made myself look happy when I was around her. I didn't want to worry her."
He sighed. "Ah Roza. You always worry about her more than yourself."
"It's the way it has to be." I said in a small voice. Before he could comment again I carried on with my story. "Then Lissa noticed that Christian knew a lot about the whole story and turned on him saying he had known about this the whole time and hadn't told her. Christian defended me saying that he had noticed how upset I had been and asked me about it. I had told him everything and told him not to tell her because I didn't want to worry her. Then she took her anger out on him and told him to get lost basically." I said hanging my head.
"She is being slightly unreasonable." Dimitri said. He was making swirling patterns on my stomach. I was beginning to lose concentration slightly.
"Then I went to find Christian to tell him to make up with Lissa, because I didn't want them to fall out because of me. He told me he wasn't going to make up with her, because he thought she was being unreasonable and that she should let me explain first. I kept telling him to, but he wasn't giving in. After gathering he really wasn't going to apologise to her, I thanked him for sticking up for me, then came back here."
Dimitri smiled down at me. "You and Christian really are close now, aren't you?" He inquired, slightly amused.
I laughed. "Yeah, I guess. He is like the big brother I never had." I said, still smiling. After sitting in a comfortable silence for a few minutes, I yawned.
Dimitri looked down at me. "It's late. You must be tired." He stated.
I nodded. I went and changed into my big t-shirt, while Dimitri stripped down to his boxers. I couldn't help but ogle his body for a few minutes. He chuckled quietly when he noticed. I snapped out of my haze and got into bed. He joined me, wrapping his arms around me. "Night Comrade." I managed to get out between yawns.
"Night Roza." I faintly heard, before slipping into unconsciousness.
