Sorry it's been a while but you know how life can be…
I have also started to write a novel which I'm going to put up on Amazon for kindles so I'll let you all know when that is out in case you are interested.
I have had a request about adding Lissa into the story and I am going to but later on in the story so please sit tight!
One last thing…I only had three people reply to my last question and I would really appreciate it if you could tell me what you want to happen in the end of this story as I only have another 4 chapter drafts…thanks!
The next day went by pretty slowly; the only thing everyone was talking about was that party we flaked out on. In a way I'm glad I didn't go because it soundly like it was mental and eventually was stopped by the police but in a way I kind of wished that I did go, it would have been an experience for me and one that I could have shared with Dimitri. He said he wasn't disappointed that we didn't go in the end but I could see in his eyes that he kind of did want to go. I felt guilty about it but when he'd told me to stop feeling sorry for him and myself I let it go and tried to enjoy the rest of my day.
By lunch time I was so in need to stretch my wings that I had to leave early from my last class and run to the clearing before the pain got any worse. I don't know why but lately they have been aching so much more than usually and it was kind of annoying me a little. I didn't need anything new happen to me right now or ever for that matter.
Unfortunately Dimitri had a meeting about some sport he did today at lunch so after I was re dressed I just went to an empty bench and sat down to read my book. It was weird how alien this now felt, I guess I'm just so used to having company a lot of the time. At least I got to catch up on my reading that I haven't managed to do for a while, I was reading one of my favourite books and I was totally engrossed in it until I heard someone or rather someone's walk up to me.
I sighed and tried to ignore who ever it is but it was getting hard to as their footsteps became loader and loader as they made their way towards me. When they sat down I finally gave up trying to read and looked up to see three girls who all looked exactly the same with bleached blond hair and lip glossed lips sit down opposite me.
'What do you want?' I asked in exasperation.
'I want you to leave Dimitri alone, you're the reason he didn't come to that party last night, you're the reason he has become so anti social and you're the reason I don't get to see him anymore so just leave him alone okay?'
I tried not to laugh in her face but I only semi succeeded as a little chuckle managed to escaped my lips.
'You think this is funny freak?' she asked me with anger in her eyes.
'A little bit yeah' I admitted and looked back at my book to carry on reading. I could tell we were drawing some attention and I was desperate to get it off me as quick as possible.
I suddenly saw her hand move towards me and if it wasn't for my heightened senses she would have hit her mark on my cheek but thankfully I saw it coming and without taking my eyes of my book I grabbed her hand a few inches from my face and twisted it backwards so she was forced onto the table. I finally looked up at her to see her and her copy cats shocked expression and laughed before looking at her hand and released it.
'Nice manicure, would be a shame to ruin it don't you think?' I asked in a sugar sweet tone and they gave me an evil glare before getting up and walking back inside.
I chuckled again and went back to reading. I could here whispers all around me but I just ignored it, I did not need to hear what was being said about me.
The rest of the day went by uneventful until I walked into biology and sat at my seat next to Dimitri. He looked angry about something and didn't acknowledge me when I sat down. I frowned and put my hand onto his arm, trying to get him to look at me but when he didn't I frowned and leaned onto the desk with my elbows so I could get a closer look at his face.
'Are you okay Dimitri?' I asked a little confused.
He clenched his fists at the sound of my voice but apart from that didn't acknowledge me, again.
'Dimitri would you please talk to me…what's the matter?'
'Did you really have to do that?' he said through clenched teeth and moved to look me in the eye.
I frowned in confusion 'do what?' what the hell was he on about?
'Make a scene like that in front of everyone'.
'When?' I asked, not knowing what he was on about.
'You know what, at lunch with Monica'.
'Oh that! That was nothing, if anything she deserved much worse then just a little bit of embarrassment in front of her friends if you ask me'.
'Did you really have to show off though, someone could guess what's going on with you and then you'd be taken away from me'.
'Dimitri' I sighed and rubbed his left shoulder to try and sooth some of the tension there. 'For one I highly doubt anyone could ever guess what was going on with me and second I didn't do anything I haven't done before. Think about it, have you ever heard rumours about me before, about how I did something extra ordinary or something like that?'
He sighed and slightly shook his head yes.
I smiled 'of course you have but there all stupid little explanations people have come up with to try and explain things they don't understand. Like that one time I was able to catch that ball that one of your mates tried to kick at my head. I was just quietly reading my book and then I suddenly caught it without even looking up from my page and threw it back at him with as much force it knocked him over'.
He cracked a smile at that and I smiled back at him caressing his cheek softly 'trust me on this; I would not do anything stupid to willingly draw attention to myself okay?'
He slowly nodded and sighed before smiling at me 'so I hear it all happened because you were arguing over me, any truth to the rumour Miss. Hathaway?'
I smiled back and rolled my eyes 'wouldn't you like to know' I whispered in his ear before gently kissing him just below his ear and refocusing on the lesson.
'Yes I would actually, my ego needs is'
I snorted and slightly shook my head with a smile on my face 'if anything your ego needs shrinking Mr.'
'Well that schemes to have done it' he muttered pretending to be hurt.
I giggled and rested my head on his shoulder, only semi-listening to the teacher. 'Fine it was about you okay? She said it was my fault that you couldn't go to that party and that I was taking her precious Dimitri play time away from her. She said I had to stay away from you and went to slap me when I retaliated and I wasn't going to let that bitch lay one finger on me.'
He laughed and took my hand in his under the table but didn't say anything…just looked ahead and listened to the lecture.
At the end of the lesson I packed my stuff up and waited for Dimitri to do the same before walking out hand in hand towards the parking lot. We still drew a few stares but they were becoming less and less frequent now which was good. I mean I was used to stared from everyone but not to the magnitude I got when me and Dimitri had gone public.
'You coming back to mine?' he asked when we got to his truck.
I shrugged 'sure, why not' I hadn't been back to his house since the first night there, when I had been attacked and showed Dimitri my secret. I was a little nervous about seeing his family seeing as last time I ran, more like flew, out on her without even an explanation. I wonder what Dimitri had told her.
'What did you tell your mum when I left last time I was there?'
'Just that you had some sort of family emergency that's all' he replied starting the car and pulling out of the car park.
I shrugged 'okay', that sounded like a decent enough excuse I suppose.
We drove in silence the whole way there but it wasn't awkward like last time we travelled here, it was nice and relaxing.
When we arrived Dimitri got out the truck and opened my door for me extending his hand to help me out. I laughed 'always such a gentlemen Mr Belikov.'
'We aim to please Miss Hathaway' he replied with a grin.
I giggled and pecked him on the cheek before taking his hand and getting out the car and walking towards the back door, hopefully Ms Belikov is out or something so I don't have to have an awkward made up conversation about my fake family and why I had left so suddenly last time I was here. Dimitri opened the door for me and I walked into the smell of freshly baked goods, Ms Belikov was obviously here and I mentally cursed the universe for my sheer bad luck.
'Mum I'm home!' Dimitri shouted as he set his and my bag down by the door 'and I bought a long awaited guest!'
'And who is this long awaited guest honey?' I heard his mum reply as she made her way down the stairs and into the kitchen.
'Its Rose mum' he said as she walked into the room.
As soon as she saw me her face lit up with a smile and she rushed over to me to give me a big motherly squeeze. I stiffened in her arms but slightly relaxed as I realised that her arms were around my neck.
'It's so good to see you again dear' she said in my ear as she held me at arms length to get a better look at me. 'How's that cheek of yours doing, it looks like it's completely healed which is good'.
I blushed a little at her words, it had actually healed as soon as I got home that night but I had to leave the strips on for Dimitri's sake at the time. He didn't believe me when I said that I was okay.
'I think you can take those strips of now, you are one swift healer Rose' she as she lent forward to gently peel them off my cheek.
'I told you I was fine Dimitri' I said as the two strips were slowly being peeled off.
'Well its better to be safe than sorry missy, I didn't want to take then off too soon.'
I just rolled my eyes as the last of the surgical strips were taken off. 'There you go dear, all done'.
'Thanks Ms Belikov'.
'I told you last time Rose to call me Olena'.
I slowly nodded and smiled at how at home I felt here, even though I had only been here twice, the last time being a disaster.
'Are you staying for dinner honey?'
'Yes she is' Dimitri replied for me before I could get a word in.
I smiled and nodded my head at her before Dimitri grasped my hand and dragged me up to his room. I heard Olena shouting to us that dinner would be ready in half an hour before Dimitri closed his bedroom door behind him and pushed me up against the door.
'God I've wanted to do this since you walked through the threshold of this house' he whispered in my ear and I couldn't help but blush at his words.
He slowly started to kiss up my neck, starting at my collarbone and slowly working his way up to the sensitive spot just below my ear. I groaned slightly at the opened mouth kisses and grabbed his chin to guide his lips to mine. We kissed passionately and I thrust my hand into his hair, gripping it tightly to keep his lips firmly on mine. I was hungry for more and before I could think about it I lifted myself up so I could wrap my legs around his waist so I was able to get closer to him. I felt is arousal against my inner thigh and I groaned against his lips as I carried on with my assault.
Dimitri moaned against my lips and I softly bit his lower lip and backed away from the door and onto his bed. He dropped me down onto it and I giggled as I looked at him with lust filled eyes as he made his way up the bed to blanket me with his warmth.
I was just about to take my top off when Victoria's voice interrupted us from down stairs, 'dinners ready you two!'
I looked at Dimitri shocked and he chuckled at my expression 'oh how time flies when you're having fun'.
I giggled and playfully slapped his arm before getting off the bed and walked towards the door. I quickly had a thought and turned around to look back at him with a cheeky grin on my face. I placed my hands onto his chest and slowly slid them down his tones abs until I reached the waistband of his jeans and trailed soft patterns across his hip bones. I heard him suck in a sharp breath of air and went to grab my hands as they slowly started to trail further down 'what are you doing!' he hissed.
I massaged him slowly through the material of his trousers and grinned up at him 'just leaving my mark is all' I commented before retracting myself from him and walking the rest of the way out of the room. 'Oh and by the way you may want to get that sorted before you go down to see your mum and sister' I suggested gesturing to the tent in his trousers.
He blushed slightly and turned away from my view and I laughed at his embarrassment before going downstairs to see if I could help Olena dish up the food.
