Hey, guys. I don't know what to do. Do you guys like the way I'm writing the story? Do you want Strigoi? Do you want something bad to happen? Do you want Rose to be with Dimitri or Adrian? Do you want no action? Let me know in a review or PM me please. Thanks for reading and reviewing. Love you all. I've got to stop drinking caffeine at three in the morning but it's the only way I get my stories done. See you soon. Oh, BTW if you wanna know anything 'bout me feel free to ask. I try to reply to all PM and reviews. If I haven't sorry. On with the story as my friends would say: Allons-y! (If you know where that's from let me know. I'll give you a virtual hug.)
The reception was fun. I left my present on the present table and god it was packed with different sized boxes. I swear I think one of them was a plasma TV. Lissa, Christian, Dimitri, Adrian, Eddie and Me got to sit up the front of the room at a huge table. The food was great and I sat next to Dimitri and Adrian. Yah. I thought sarcastically.
Once everyone had finished eating and people were chatting quietly, I started tapping on my champagne glass.
"Can I have everyone's attention please?" Everyone turned to face me, champagne glasses in their hands. "I hope everyone has been enjoying themselves so far. I would like to give a speech for the happy couple. Okay I've known Lissa since we were put together at a young age to learn to spell our names. I admit I was a rebel at the academy and when Christian and Lissa started dating I didn't like it but I soon realised that he loved her and would do anything for her. I am happy to say you have my blessing and that I will always be here for you guys and I trust Christian with Lissa." When I finished everyone started clapping. A few other people said speeches and then the couple started the first dance of the night and people soon joined in.
"Would you like to dance?" Adrian asked while slipping an arm around my waist.
"Of course." He led me to the dance floor and we started dancing. I didn't realise he could dance so well.
"Rose do you mind if I borrow Adrian for a dance?" Lissa asked.
"No of course not," I stepped away from Adrian and Lissa started dancing with him.
I turned around to go back to the table I was sitting at but I bumped into someone's chest.
"Sorry." I said while stepping back. I realised it was Dimitri I bumped into.
"Would you like to dance?" he said taking a step towards me.
"O-okay." I stuttered and I honestly don't know why. He took my hand in his and led me to the dance floor. I didn't know he could dance but he danced really well. The song changed to a slow dance and he brought me closer to him.
I had my head on his shoulder. He pulled back and looked at me but he was looking at my lips. Does he only want me for my lips? I thought. I noticed that he would look at my lips at least once during a conversation. Does he really love me? He dragged his eyes to mine. He held my gaze. I no longer heard the music or saw the people around me all I saw was Dimitri and nothing else. Oh my god, I love him. I realised at that moment that I love him. No, I've got to be wrong.
I've been denying the truth even though he kissed Tasha and even though he broke my heart and tore it to shreds I still loved him. I moved closer to him and I my reverie was interrupted by Tasha grabbing Dimitri's attention. Bloody bitch, interrupts us at the most crucial moment. Dimitri reluctantly turned to face Tasha. Once he broke eye contact I saw everyone else around the room. Lissa was happy and she would be leaving soon for her honeymoon. We're going to visit the Academy and then she wanted to go to Russia but it depends on time.
"Dimitri, can we dance?" Tasha was asking Dimitri. I wanted to get cake and put it on her pretty dress but my good side of my conscientious won. Tasha was already putting an arm around Dimitri waist even though he was still holding me. Was she trying to use force against him. I couldn't explain it but he was mesmerized by her. It was as if she was using compulsion. He let go of me.
"I suppose so." They walked away together. Could Natasha know how to use compulsion? All Moroi have compulsion usage but it is very minimal. I wonder how she could compel Dimitri. I swear I just wanted to grab her by the hair and hit her so hard. But I'm not that bad. I can think it but not do it.
I went to sit at my table. Dimitri kissed Tasha and a tear escaped my eye.
"Hey, are you okay?" Christian asked me.
"Me? Of course."
"Really. Then why are you crying?" Damn he's observant. He turned around and tried to see what I was so focused on.
"Oh." He seemed devastated that I was jealous but there was something else there I couldn't put my finger on.
"Christian it's not what you think it is." I was desperate for him not to hate me. I couldn't take it if he hated me and then if that hatred spread to Lissa and others and I honestly don't what I would do.
"Rose." He was getting angry. Another tear escaped my eye.
"Please." I was begging him at this point. "I'll stop. I haven't done anything."
"Sure you haven't you got someone to make a lust spell for you and him. You knew he still had feelings for you but you still pushed him. How could you?"
"What? What lust spell? I . . . I –"
"No! Don't!" He was angry.
"Christian!" I was frantic at this point. Lissa came to stand next to Christian.
"What's going on?" Lissa asked concerned.
"Rose put a lust spell on Dimitri for him to fall in love with her again and she kissed him before the wedding. She made a note in Dimitri's writing to say that he didn't want my Aunt anymore before they left the Academy." What the fuck is going on? I was honestly confused at this point. I didn't do any of those things. Shock and disbelief flooded through the bond.
"No! She wouldn't. Rose wouldn't do that. Right?" Lissa turned to me to ask for confirmation.
"I didn't Lissa believe me." I was frantic again.
"If you believe her over me I'm leaving you." What? OMG! He didn't just play that card. He's nuts.
"Christian." She couldn't choose between us? She was put on the spot. She didn't reply she just stood there quietly
"Fine then, I guess I know your choice." He walked away and she held a hand out to grab him but he was too quick. A few tears escaped her eyes she was trying not to have a panic attack. I walked over to her.
"Hey it's okay." I said trying to calm her down.
"No it's not. We just got married and he already wants to file for divorce and it's because of you!" I pulled her into a hug and she started breathing heavily.
"Calm down." I pulled back to wipe the tears away that escaped. "Listen I know how much you love him and I'm willing to sacrifice our friendship for you to be happy. So leave me I'll survive but you can't survive without him." It was hard for me to make that choice but I had to for her happiness. "It's going to hurt me but I'm obviously not wanted. I'll leave your life so you're happy with him. I'll pack my bags and I'll be gone before the end of the week. You can get a new guardian and I'll . . ." To be honest I didn't know what I would do but I had to choose her happiness over mine. "I'll go so you can be happy." I hugged her tightly and pulled away.
"Rose! You can't leave me. I can't be without you." She was begging me not to leave her.
"And you can't be without him. You need him. You love him. I can be replaced. I'll always love you and be her for you but sometimes you have to make hard choices to see other people happy."
"Please! Don't go!" She begged.
"Are you really going to choose me over him? Listen, I'll keep an eye on you and when this blows over I'll come back."
"Promise,"
"Promise," She pulled me into a hug and then went to Christian.
I left the reception and went back to my room.
