Chapter Fourteen

"Lissa. We need to come up with something really good." Adrian said. He was sitting at the little table a few feet from me. I quickly walked up to Adrian and sat on his lap. We sat like that for a few moments.

"You're right. Considering the..." I paused. Thinking about the dare the guys had thought up for me. I shuddered mentally, "lovely dare you thought of for me. I thought perhaps we could think of something for Rose." I turned my head so that we were looking at each other. Adrian had this weird look in his eyes. He was looking at me with adoring eyes. I was really confused. Adrian sighed happily then spoke,

"Where have you been all my life?" I giggled and looked away from his face.

"Adrian!" I said pretending to be mad. The truth was I could never really be mad at him.

"Can we please stay on topic here?"Adrian sounded truly surprised.

"How do you expect me to focus on Rose with you right here?" I knew I was kind of pretty, but when standing next to Rose? I felt invisible. Rose was gorgeous! All the guys loved her. I was second when standing next to her, but while here with Adrian he made me feel beautiful. He made me feel that I could do anything!

"Um... Try? I mean come on don't you want to dare her to do something? Haven't you been waiting for this?" I looked up at Adrian again.

"No. I haven't wanted to make Rose do something. But there is something I have been wanting to do." Before I could respond, Adrian's mouth was all over mine. I quickly changed my position so that I was now straddling Adrian. We kissed passionately for a few moments only to be interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Excuse me, Princess? Lord Ivashkov? I hope I'm not interrupting anything. Do you mind if I come in?" Stan said. I quickly hopped off of Adrian's lap and went to the door.

"Guardian Alto, no we don't mind. You might be able to help us too." I said cheerfully.

"I'm sorry for intruding, Princess. I just felt I had to keep an eye on you. Lord Ivashkov, are you ready to make Rose pay?" Stan said grinning.

"You know it!" said Adrian happily. He was acting like nothing had happened.

"Alright you guys," I said impatiently. "We need a really good dare." I looked at all of them carefully until I saw Stan's face light up.

"I have one. This may break the rules of guarding, but it will be fun to watch." I grinned at him in anticipation.

"Alright. Here's my plan."
