Thanks for all the reviews! I appreciate it!

I don't own Vampire Academy . . .


A few weeks later . . .

"This is delicious." I commented as bit off a piece of a tri-tip sandwich. Yeah I was a small woman but I loved my meat. I sat, cross-legged on the floor in the office of a guy that was totally unavailable but seemed totally into me.

Smiling, he reached over with his napkin and wiped the corner of my mouth. "You had a little something there."

"Thanks." I wiped my fingers on a paper towel. "I'm a dirty girl . . ."

"Nice . . ." He said, winking at me.

I laughed. "Oh, God. I didn't mean it like that."

He chuckled. "I know you did."

We continued to chat about everyday things as we stuffed ourselves with fries, rice, and meat. It was delicious. I usually liked to eat low-calorie meals, but right now I was giving myself a treat. This only happened once a month and when it happened, it was awesome.

When we were done, we still continued chatting. What was awesome about or job was that our lunch hour was almost an hour long.

"Oh, before I forget, can you review my Monthly Summary paper? I am new at these things and I really would like the help of a pro."

"Sure thing." I said. He offered me a hand as I stood up. I saw the folder titled Monthly Summary on his desk. I opened it up and started to check it over, sitting down on his desk chair. He must have been taught well because his paper was organized correctly. No mistakes. "Wow . . . this is good."

"You think so?" He leaned down and almost rested his head on my shoulder as he stood behind me.

I struggled to breathe. He was too close. Way out of my comfort zone. "Yeah . . ." I turned to look at him, which was a mistake because he was so close that our noses brushed. I looked into his eyes and I completely lost the calm I had gained. Right now, all I wanted to do was melt and kiss those beautiful lips.

"You're so pretty, Rose . . ." Somehow, our lips brushed each other's and—

"Adrian—"

Adrian and I broke apart. I looked at who had interrupted us and noticed it was a tall blonde girl with the jade green eyes.

"Excuse me, bitch? What the fuck do you think you're doing with my man?"

She was all up in my face but I couldn't care less. I was pretty sure I could take her but I was in no mood in losing my job.

"I better go . . ." Adrian looked at me and he looked like he rather be kissing me than dealing with this crazy psycho bitch.

"Bitch! Get back here! I'm not done talking!"

I left the room, closing the door behind me. Once outside I started laughing. I could hear the screams behind me.

Lissa

Earlier today, I had seen Adrian and Rose sucking one another's face.

What the hell?

I thought Dimitri had this under control. I thought he had take Rose to a different place.

Seemed like I had to do something about it now.

Like always.

I picked up my phone and called Dimitri to plan further war.

Nobody messed with what was mine . . .

Rose

I had to come in early today to file papers of my clients and crap like that. There was a new house on the market and I had chosen that house for me to sell. A couple was already interested in the house. I needed to get their information and see if they qualified. I would have their answer as soon as I put the data in the computer.

Ugh. Why can't they let us hire secretaries for us?

It turned out that the couple did qualify. I needed to give them a call. I picked up the phone and dialed the number.

"Hello?" A deep voice answered.

"Good morning. This is Rose Hathaway from the Dreamer Real-estate Agency. Can I speak to Mr. Caramitchell?"

"This is he. How can I help you?"

"Well, Mr. Caramitchell, it seems that you have qualified for the house on Western Ave. Would you and your wife be interested in touring the place again before making any decisions?"

"Yes, we would love that. What time would fit your schedule?"

"How about now?"

"That's perfect. We'll meet you there in twenty minutes."

I grabbed my coat since it was chilly outside and headed out. In the parking lot, I saw Adrian's car parked. I hadn't spoken to him ever since the other day. Honestly, I didn't want to talk to him.

Whatever. He probably had gotten over the kiss. Maybe I should too.

I saw the Caramitchells' car parked on the side of the street. Crap. I didn't like being the hold up.

I got out of my awesome Audi. "I hope I didn't keep you waiting long."

"It's all right. We sure don't mind a bit."

I pointed to the door. "Let's head inside." There was this lock that you had to punch in the pin number for the house in order for the door to open. I punched in the house's number and the lock opened to reveal a key. I inserted in the door knob.

The guy's wife gasped, the same reaction she'd had when I first brought them here.

"I love this house. Baby, we should buy it."

The husband looked around.

"We could start our family here. Our kids would love the beach."

They loved the house that was obvious. I waited a few extra minutes inside the house after they left. I loved the house too.

I was about to leave when a voice spoke from the doorway.

"Rose?"

I turned to find Adrian leaning against the doorframe.

"Yeah?"

"Can we talk?"

Should they talk or not? Review for the next chapter!
