Chapter 21: Shopping
CPOV
I walked with Rose hand-in-hand to a cabin we saw at the back of the lake but never had the chance to actually check it out. She was deep in thought about something, so I didn't say much to her. I decided on naming our future children. I was glad Rose could still have children. It made me feel happy that she was going to have my child, but then having my child taken out of the world made my heart tear. At least Rose and I could get through this together.
Once we reached the wooden door of the cabin, I picked her up bridal style and carried her to the bed. "So Rose… What happened when I was out?" I asked, not caring, and setting her gently on the bed.
She said something but I tuned her out and watched her like an angel sent from above. I was glad I had my Rose back, but I was still mad at her for leaving me and not telling me that I had a child as soon as she came back.
She stopped talking and stared back at me. I smiled, forcefully, and said, "Maybe we should go to sleep now." I laid on my back pulling her to my chest. She put an arm across my stomach and I wrapped my arms around her. I kissed the top of her head. "I love you." I murmured.
"I love you to, my awesome Pyro." That's my Rose.
"That's my Rose. Glad to have you back, my Love." I chuckled as she looked up and kissed me. And somehow I knew everything would be alright. "My famous bad ass." I said kissing her again. We kissed for about an hour before she fell asleep.
I slowly laid her down on the bed and walked outside the cabin. I didn't want to disturb her, and I didn't want to be with her when I cried. I lost my child. And all because of that fucking bitch Nicola Conta. What was I thinking? Good person! Ha! There was never a good bone in her!
I let tears flow from my eyes. They came and came. I wish I were holding both Rose and my daughter or son safely in my arms. I'm afraid to loving Rose because I cant lose her again.
I gripped the railing for support. Otherwise I would collapse and wouldn't be able enough to get up. I let more of my tears flow and sobbed violently.
I felt arms wrap slowly around me. I knew without looking who it was and quickly turned to hug her. She had tears flowing down her face. She looked at me sadly before turning and walking back into the cabin. I followed. I knew she was upset enough that her baby was gone, but to see me like this… I knew she was hurt. I knew she was upset for leaving me. I knew she was trying to stay strong for everyone else's benefit. I knew that she was hiding how she truly felt. I knew she was trying to get over this. I knew that she already had to much trouble. I knew that I had to take all this pain away.
She started to stumble to the ground and I quickly put my arms around her waist and held her up. She held on to the wooden chair. "I hate my life. I hate Nicola. I hate myself. I hate everything. Any thing I do or touch turns into a disaster. Its like I'm cursed. Anyone I talk to…" Just then the chair she was holding broke as if to prove herself. She fell completely to the floor, even though I was still holding her.
She broke into tears. I sat on the floor next to her. "Shh… Rose. Its okay. Shh…" I said to her.
She looked at me. I smiled. I was fine now. I let out all my pain and now I needed her to be okay too. "Christian…" She started. I cut her off with my lips.
She kissed me back immediately and wrapped her fragile arms around my neck. I put one of my hands on the small of her back and let one tangle in her hair. She licked my lower lip, and I opened my mouth a little. Her tongue moved in sync with mine. I kissed her hungrily and lovingly.
She put her legs around my waist as I stood up. I grabbed her thighs to hold her up and walked to the bedroom. I laid her down and took my shirt off. I threw it to the ground. She ran her fingers down my chest then broke the kiss.
"Christian… we shouldn't do this. Not like this." She said smiling at me. "We shouldn't do this to chase away our pain."
"Rose… I was only crying because I wanted to hold both you and…" I couldn't say it. I would hurt her more.
"And?" She pushed.
I slid off of her and sat on the corner of the bed, with my head in my hands. I couldn't, could I? I didn't want to hurt her more. I sighed. I felt her rubbing circles on my back.
"I understand. Its okay Christian. Sure, I'm upset but at least I still have you. I love you." She said softly.
I turned back to her, and smiled because she was smiling. "Rose… please? I want to bring another life into this world." I smirked her favorite smirk. "I want to bring another child into this world with you Rose. I love you."
"I love you too, Pyro." She said nodding. She pressed her lips to mine and I quickly kissed back.
I laid her back down on the bed and took off her shirt. I broke the kiss and kissed her earlobe, jaw line, and neck. I kissed down to the waistband of her pants, and licked along it. I heard her softly moan. I played with the button for a little while, teasing her, and then unbuttoned them. I slid them down and threw them to the floor.
I gently rubbed her clit with my thumb as I kissed her. She moaned on my lips. I broke the kiss, and started to rub her nipples through the lacey bra. She moaned. Then she unbuttoned my pants and slid them off, as I slid her bra off of her. That left us in only our underwear.
I smiled at my beautiful Rose, as I kissed her nipple lightly. She moaned when my lips came into contact. I smiled and said, "I love you." Causing her to moan from the vibration of my lips.
Once I was done with her breasts, I kissed her softly and lovingly. I slid down her underwear quickly. I stood up as I threw them to the ground. I slid her closer to the edge of the bed. I got onto my knees, and held her hands. I looked her in the eyes, before lowering my face between her legs.
I nudged the little pink nub with my nose, and she moaned once again. I blew lightly on her, and she bucked her hips. I took my hands away from her tightly closed ones and spread her legs. After they were spread enough, I took my fingers, and opened her lips. I gently licked her with my tongue, and sucked away all of her sweet nectar. She moaned and moaned. I decided to tease her more and stuck two of my fingers into her tight opening. I moved them in and out of her as my tongue licked her making she moan like crazy. I bit her lightly and sucked a little. She bucked her hips.
"Chris…tion… I'm going… to…" She whimpered.
I understood immediately and slid my boxers down as I slipped my fingers out of her. I kissed her passionately as I slid into her.
"Huston! We have lift off!" She said sarcastically.
I chuckled. "I missed you."
She smiled. I made love to her, listening to her soft purrs. Once we both reached our climax, I laid on my back, holding my beautiful Rose. I kissed her forehead.
"I love you Christian. Never forget that. I am so… sorry for leaving. I also promise never ever to do that again. I love you." She murmured.
"I love you too Rose. It's okay. I understood why and its okay. I forgive you. I love you."
She smiled. I smiled back and kissed her. We made love a second time, before falling asleep.
RPOV
After a blissful night with Christian I fell asleep in his arms thankful I still had him.
Adrian interrupted my dreams again tonight. I was to happy to care.
"Hello Little Dhampir." I laughed and he looked confused. "Why are you so happy?"
"Um…" I blushed. "Christian and I…"
"Never mind! Stop right there." I chuckled. "By the way… where the hell are you? Everyone of the Belikov's, me, and the rest of your friends are worried sick!" He asked.
"Relax. I'm fine. I'm in a cabin in the back of the lake with Christian." I said. "But please don't disturb us. I want to be with him and finally sleep tonight." He chuckled.
"Okay, Little Dhampir. I'll pass on that you are okay." He said. I nodded. "See you."
"Bye."
The dream faded and I fell into a dreamless sleep, only seeing Christian's face.
DPOV
Where is she? Where is she? Where is she? God please be okay! I paced around the room waiting for Adrian to come out of La La Land. Everyone was gathered watching him intently, waiting for him to find Rose.
He suddenly jolted up and smirked. "Well?" We all yelled.
"She… she's okay."
"Where is she?" Lissa asked.
"Um… she told me not to tell you, but um… oh screw it! She's with Christian! What else is new?" He screamed. Then his mouth fell open. "Great. Now she's going to kill me." He said sarcastically.
I sighed and walked out of the room. At least she's safe.
RPOV
I felt Christian shift on the bed, waking me up. I turned over and met my Christian's gorgeous sapphire blue eyes. I smiled at him and he smiled back. He lightly kissed my forehead.
"Thank you." He murmured patting my stomach lightly. I chuckled and kissed him. "I love you, Rosemarie Hathaway."
"As I love you Christian Ozera." I replied kissing him on the lips.
He kissed me as he slipped on top of me. "Oh really?" I nodded. He smirked. "Prove it, my lover."
I smiled. "And how is that Mr. Ozera?" I asked mockingly.
"Mmmm… I can think of a few things." He said, nibbling on my jaw line.
I smirked and grabbed him. I started to stroke him as I rolled him off of me and I climbed on top of him. He groaned, as I chuckled.
"Rose. No." He said.
"Fine." I said, and climbed off of him.
He chuckled and climbed on top of me. "Aw… Come on. You know that's not what you want, or what I want." He said, kissing me again.
"Christian…" I murmured, looking into his eyes. "I want you."
He smiled and thrust into me gently. I moaned loudly. "Thought so." He said thrusting into me further.
I wrapped my legs around his waist, trying to make him get deeper into me. He thrust himself in and out of me, causing me to moan like there wasn't no tomorrow. I felt my muscles clench as he fastened his thrusts. He growled a little, as I met my climax.
He soon followed lead, and when he was done, he knelt down in between my legs, to start licking my clit. His tongue did so many wonders to my body causing me to cum again. He licked it all up and let me taste myself by kissing me.
"You taste so good, my love." Christian murmured. "Like peppermint and cinnamon. Mmmm… good mix." He said as he kissed me again.
I chuckled. "So…Pyro? Should we head back?" I asked.
"Sure." He said smiling.
We both got up off the bed, and put our clothes on. As we walked out of the cabin he picked me up bridal style and carried me all the way to the school. As soon as we came into view, we were attacked by Lissa, Adrian, Mia, Eddie, My mom, Stan, Alberta, The Belikov's, and Mrs. Kirova.
I did a double take and found no Dimitri. Oh well! I was to happy to care.
Christian set me down on the ground and Lissa started to comb through my hair. "Jeez… Christian. What the hell did you do?" Christian and I blushed. Everyone chuckled.
Stan and Alberta glared at me. "We thought we lost you. Don't do that to us." Stan said, grabbing Alberta's hand.
My eyes almost bugged out. "Us?"
They both nodded. "We have been together for a while now." Stan said.
My eyes did pop out this time. "Hey. Um… where is Avery?" Lissa asked.
"She is sitting on the bench over there being creeped out by Jesse and Ralf. I feel bad for her." Stan said.
"Jesse and Ralf have been very helpful… so far. But… yeah lets go rescue her." I said.
They all nodded and we walked over to her. Eddie eagerly walked faster. Avery smiled as she saw us all walking over to her.
"Jesse and Ralf I have to go! Bye! See you!" She yelled eagerly and got up and ran to us.
We all laughed.
"Thank god! I was just about to punch Ralf in his dumb ass face." She said.
"I've had a few times where I've wanted to do that." I said. Everyone else chuckled and nodded.
She laughed, then her, Adrian, Oksana, Marc, and Lissa, walked off.
I was about to go with them but someone grabbed my hand. I turned back to find Dimitri. "Hey Comrade." I said.
He glared. "Ha ha." He said rolling his eyes. "Come on. Lets go train."
I nodded and followed. "Um… actually… I don't think this is a good idea." I said. "I mean I probably shouldn't…"
"Come on." He walked faster. I had to strain to keep up. I heard someone following. I turned and found Vikki. She patted my arm. "Lets race to the gym."
I nodded and me, Vikki, and Dimitri started running for the gym.
Once there, we walked in to find that people were decorating the gym. I walked up to Dimitri. "What is all this?" I asked.
He smiled at me. "I felt bad about everything and wanted to make up for it. I made a few calls and asked Mrs. Kirova if we could have a ball. She said yes. So here we go. Its on Saturday. So tomorrow. You should go get some dresses and whatever." He replied.
I hugged him, and let a tear fall down my cheek. "Thank you." I whispered.
"Your welcome, Roza." He said. He hugged me tighter. "Save me a dance?"
I nodded. "I promise." I kissed his cheek and unwrapped myself from his embrace. "Are we going shopping?" I asked.
"Yeah in…" He looked at the clock. "Ten minutes. Go ahead and find the rest of the gang." I nodded, and kissed his forehead.
I ran out of the gym and stumbled into an angry Christian. "What's wrong?" I asked.
He smirked. "You left me without saying goodbye."
I chuckled. "Oh come on Pyro. We have shopping to do." He groaned and I chuckled again.
We found the others by a fountain. Avery was on Eddie's lap. Damn. Where have I been? Lissa was sitting next to Adrian, holding his hand. Oksana and Marc was sitting on the fountain edge, watching as I approached. Alberta was staring at Stan, and he was walking toward the fountain, smiling at her. Mia was sitting next to Alberta on the ground, waving at me. I waved back. Vikki ran past us then and sat down next to Mia. Everyone turned this way, and stood up. They all ran over to me.
"OMG! Did you here!" Lissa asked.
"About the dance? Yea. When are we going?" I asked Ellen (Kirova) who had just come up to us.
"Twenty Minutes. I changed the time so you had time to get ready so hurry up and go." I nodded.
Lissa, Mia, Vikki, and Avery grabbed me, and towed me to my room. "Hurry and meet us down by the fountain." Lissa ordered. I nodded, and watched them leave.
I walked into my room, and went to my closet. I grabbed a pair of black short shorts, a pair of black UGG's, and a white T-shirt that said, BITE ME, in silver. I grabbed a pair of black sunglasses. I tucked them on my shirt between my breasts. I walked out the door and ran straight into Christian, and my mom.
My mom rolled her eyes, but Christian framed my face with his hands and kissed my forehead.
My mom cleared her throat, loudly might I add. "Rose, go change your pants."
I laughed and pointed to my shirt. She laughed and said, "Please?"
I rolled my eyes, and went back to my closet. I grabbed a white Aero sweater. I walked out of the room grabbing Christian's hand and dragging him with me. He chuckled as my mom groaned.
We walked to Christian's room, and he let me pick out his clothes. I choose Khaki shorts and a white collared shirt that stuck to his skin like glue. Now I get to see his awesome muscles. I grabbed his white sneaks and handed them to him. He put them on and grabbed my hand.
"Mom?" I asked. She chuckled and nodded.
Okay so dressing your mom is fun. Especially when you make them look hot!
I drug her back to my room, and picked her clothes.
I choose a black shirt that clung to her, and made her chest pop. I choose black short shorts that matched mine. She laughed and slipped them on. I handed her hot pink sunglasses. I even made her hair up into a pony tail. I took her sunglasses and put them on top of her head, to just sit there.
I looked at my work, and groaned. "Your missing something." She chuckled. "Got it!" I said. I turned to my desk, and grabbed a rose colored lip gloss and lightly applied it to her lips. "There." She shook her head and looked in the floor length mirror.
She gasped. "Rose! You work magic! I love you." She said.
"I love you too, mommy." I said. She turned to me and smiled. I smiled back. "You look hot mom!" She laughed. "Like a teenager."
She laughed again. "You should dress up more. Can I do it?"
I smiled brighter and nodded. She put my hair up into a loose bun and changed my black sunglasses to white one's, with black shades, and jewels on them. She set them on top of my head, and put a maroon color lip gloss on my lips. She topped it off with a light colored red blush.
I looked in the mirror and hugged my mother. She laughed, and put her arm on her hip arching it like the men do when they are escorting their date somewhere. I put my arm through hers, and we walked out. Once we were able to see the group me and my mom started to skip like the Wizard of Oz characters.
"We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of OZ!" We laughed at the group who had their mouths agape.
Dimitri stared at my mom. I laughed my ass off when he said, "Who is your hot friend Rose?"
My mom walked up to him and slapped him hard against his face. "Shut it Belikov or I will most definitely shut it for you." I laughed harder when his eyes bugged out.
Everyone started to laugh. When we were all done laughing, we climbed into SUV's the school owned.
Me and Christian sat in the very back of the first one. Vikki, My mom, and Mia sat in the seat in front of us. Dimitri was in the driver's seat and Olena sat in the front seat. In the second SUV, Lissa, Adrian, Avery, Eddie, and Yeva rode, along with Paul.
The third SUV held Karolina, Sonya, Jesse, Ralf, Stan and Alberta. We were all in and ready to go. We drove all the way to the mall and got out of the crowded SUV's.
Me, Lissa, Mia, Avery, My mom, Vikki, Dimitri, Christian, Adrian, and Eddie all split up from the others. The first place we went was to the DEB shop.
I looked at the racks and still couldn't find anything. "Hey, Rose!" Lissa yelled. I looked up at her. "I think I found something for you."
I walked over to her and looked at the dress in front of her. "Oh Lissa I love this!" I said, grabbing the dress off the rack, so I could look at it.
It was a navy blue dress and an intricate beadwork design wraps the Empire waist of a shoulder-bearing dress, fashioned with keyholes at the front and back for just-right hints of skin. My style. I hugged Lissa and went to try it on anyway.
I walked out of the dressing room and Christian was already standing there. "Well?" I asked.
"I love it. Its beautiful Girl!" He said mimicking a French dude.
I laughed. "Okay Chrissie."
His face scrunched up and I stuck my tongue out at him. I climbed back into the dressing rooms and changed back into my casual clothes.
I walked out and started to walk over to Lissa, but someone grabbed my butt. I gasped and turned around. I met someone's lips and they happened to be Christian's. I kissed him back.
"Chrissie?" I chuckled.
"Okay, Rosie." He mocked.
I laughed and flipped him off. He pulled my finger into his mouth and sucked a little. I laughed. "Later, Pyro."
"Fine." We both chuckled and walked back to Lissa.
"Oh, Rose! I found the perfect one!" She said. "What do you think?"
It was a simple white that flowed to about half-way to her knees. It had a scoop neck with eyelet ruffle skirt. It didn't have spaghetti straps which made it non-fancy. It was cute. It was Lissa's style. "Perfect for you, Lissa." I handed her back the dress and walked over to Mia.
She had of course a dress. "Well?" She asked.
"Let me see." She nodded, handing it to me.
It was a purple knee-length dress with a V-neck and a fit-to-flare shape. It would make her boobs and eyes pop out. It's also match the slight tan she had from training in the sun.
"Who in the hell are you trying to impress girl?" I asked.
"Um…" She hesitated. "Okay, but don't get mad!" I nodded and put my right hand on my chest. "D- Dimitri."
My eyes popped out. "Good job! He'll love this!" I told her.
"So… you're not mad?" She asked.
"No. Go try this on." I handed her back the dress and sighed as I watched her walk to the dressing room.
"I know you still have feelings for him. Are you going to be okay?" Christian asked rubbing my shoulders.
I sighed. "Like I said before. I'll be fine. You're not mad about that are you?" I asked.
"No. I understand it will take time. I am still getting over the Lissa issue." We both sighed. "At least I have you, my badass." He said, with a smirk.
I chuckled and looked at my mom. She looked scared. She was looking across the shop at some guy. I walked over to her. "Go mom. Get your groove on." She looked at me just as the guy turned around. Oksana tried to grab me and hold me back. "Oh hell no."
He turned his head towards me, and started to back up. "Rose…" I heard Dimitri warn.
"Rose?" Some people asked.
Christian put his hands on my shoulders as he asked, "What's wrong? What did that guy do to you?"
"Its Rose's father." My mom said. "Abe? What are you doing here?" She seemed almost happy.
He smiled, and walked slowly over to us, never taking his eyes off my mom. "Oh… Janine…" He said as he hugged her.
She wrapped her arms around him. "I miss you." She said.
"Ugh! Gross! Mom, what the hell?"
"Rose your dad didn't leave us. He and I were forbidden by both our parents. We wanted to be together but I decided that was not a good choice and left him. I am so sorry for that." She said the last part looking at him.
"Its okay, Janie. I forgive you." He said as he stroked her cheek.
"Um… dad?" He looked at me. "I um…" I looked away. "Sorry for hurting you. He smiled.
"That's okay, Rose." He hugged me then stared at my mom like she was his whole world. "Janine… why? Why did you run off?" He asked, tears in his eyes.
She let a few fall down her cheeks. She hugged him tight to her. "Oh… Abe… I am so, so sorry." She cried.
They had a few more minutes. "Its ok Janie. Everything will be fine. Do you still want to be together?" She nodded. "Good because you are stuck with me." She laughed and went to look for a dress. He turned to me. "I'm sorry." He said.
"It's okay." I replied.
"Did you know you were pregnant when you were in Russia?" He asked.
I look down with a frown. "Um… Abe. Don't talk about that." My mother said.
"Why…" He saw my face and the tear that slid down my face. Christian wiped it away and wiped his own away. "Sorry." He said.
"That's okay."
"Rose! Can you help me pick out my dress?" Vikki asked. I nodded. She winked at me. I walked over to her and she smiled sadly. "I owed you one." I smile at her. Christian still didn't leave my side and held my hand at all times. "Hey. What about this one?" She asked.
"Oh my god. Its so you!" I said.
It was a pretty pink peasant style dress with the look of lingerie featuring slim spagetti straps with sweetheart peasant bra bodice. It had a black lace panel that defines the waist and is mirrored at the hem with a sweet ruffle trim. It was her style. She took it out of my hands and ran to the dressing room.
I walked over to my mom and dad. He wouldn't leave her side. "Mom. I think I might've found you one."
"Really? What would that be?" She looked wary. I laughed.
"Follow me." I led her over to a rack that had really cute dresses on it. "This one."
I handed her a black bandage dress. It had sleeves, on the shoulders, and it would cling to her skin. "Its more your style then mine." She said.
I rolled my eyes and put it back on the rack. "What? That is so… your style!" Dad yelled.
I looked at my mom. "Not that!" She yelled back at him. Me and my dad both rolled our eyes.
"So dad, what's new?" Oksana said, walking up to us.
My mom looked at him. "Dad?" She asked, letting more tears fall down her face. He was going to say something, but she turned to me. "I'm going to use the bathroom." I nodded sadly. She stumbled to the stores bathroom.
My dad let a few tears flow down his face as he watched her. "Go." I told him. He turned to me. He looked at me even more broken. I rolled my eyes. "Go after her." He didn't hesitate. He walked right into the bathroom my mom just walked into.
"Your mom?" Oksana asked. I sighed and nodded. "Sorry. I didn't mean to."
I smiled. "Don't sweat."
She smiled. "Thanks."
I nodded and turned back to Christian. "So… Pyro, why are you so quiet?" I asked.
"It's nothing." He looked nervous so I let it drop. I didn't miss the glance he snuck at Adrian though.
I looked back at the rack and sighed. I gasped. I found a black flirty edged chiffon spaghetti-strap dress with beautifully ruched panels shaping the bodice above a gently flared skirt. The back zipped up with a hook-the-eye closure. It would reach my moms knees and flow so it's be able for her to move around in. It was perfect.
I walked over to the bathroom. "Janine… I am so, so sorry please forgive me." I heard my dad say weakly. He sounded so broken.
I knocked and walked in. They were both crying. I showed my mom the dress. She smiled at me and nodded. I smiled at them both and walked out. I walked out in time to see Adrian, Christian, and Dimitri walking out of the store.
I started to follow, but everyone else blocked my way, even the store's clerk. They were all smiling. "I don't think I even want to know." They all looked at each other and smiled. I rolled my eyes, and went to pay for my dresses.
Up next: shoes! Yes my favorite part. Avery decided she'd wait for a different store to buy a dress and Oksana agreed with her. I told Alberta that she was getting a dress and she frowned. I chuckled.
Haha. So did you like the chapter? Dresses on profile and there will be shoes and dresses added to it also. :P
REVIEW! Five times!
Christian says so!
