I made up for the crappy chapter I posted earlier. This one's shorter but it's more interesting than the previous one :P

Rose POV

Mia's arrival was a welcome distraction. She was too engrossed in talking about her blond haired crush and it didn't take much to keep her happy. We ate a tub of ice cream as we talked and after she had finished her story, I made some pasta for lunch and we sat and watched tv.

Around 4 o'clock Mia's blond haired boy called up and asked her if she wanted to go out for coffee in the evening. She was super excited and wanted to go home and get ready for her date. By the time Mia left, I was sleepy and fell asleep on the couch.

When I woke up, I realised that there was still a long time for Dimitri to come home and I had way too much free time on my hands. I decided to clean up the house a bit because I had messed it up. I didn't realise how time flew whilst I cleaned. I noticed that the top of the kitchen cabinet was dirty so I took out a mop and a bucket with soapy water. After finding a step-ladder, I began cleaning the tops of the cabinets. I didn't hear Dimitri's car or the front door opening and I was startled when I heard his voice.

"What are you doing up there?" I nearly jumped out of my skin which caused me to loose my footing on the ladder. Dimitri must've noticed this because he came forward to prevent my fall but he didn't expect what happened next.

On my way down the ladder, I ended up kicking the bucket with the soapy water. Dimitri caught me in time but his foot slipped because of the soap and he fall flat on his ass and because he was holding me, I followed him and fell.

I had accidentally bent my knee while falling which caused me to fall directly on him with my knee hitting his crotch. His face immediately crumpled in pain and I felt embarrassed and sorry at the same time.

"I'm so sorry Dimitri, I didn't mean to do that. You just startled me and when you fell you pulled me along with you."

I could see that he was trying to be brave but he was obviously in pain.

"It's not your fault Rose. I shouldn't have snuck up on you and you didn't really hurt me,you just caught me by surprise."

After I had made sure Dimitri was actually okay and not hurt I moved my eyes away from his face and scanned the mess and then I burst laughing.

Dimitri's usually graceful body lay in a puddle of soapy water. The mop that I had been holding was now at our feet. And his clean,pressed business suit had soap stains all over it. Plus his shocked and slightly confused expression made me laugh harder.

Before I could catch by breath, his lips were on mine. His lips were soft at first but when I kissed him back he broke away.

"I've never seen you laugh like that. You should do it more often, you look beautiful."

I didn't have time to think over his words because this time I had leaned forward and pressed my lips to his. His lips were rougher this time and he nipped lightly on my lower lip. His lips drove me crazy and I pushed him more into the soapy water and started to kiss him more roughly. My hand inched towards his pony but before I could take his hair out, he pushed my body away from his and got up.

At first I was stunned, and then hurt. A minute ago we were making out in a puddle of water and I had actually liked it until he chose to roughly push me away. He might have seen the hurt on my face because he knelt down in front of me and kissed me lightly.

"I didn't mean to push you away like that. I just tend to loose control around you and as much as I enjoy kissing you, I would prefer doing it in a better state without soapy clothes."

I giggled at him. " You're right, I'm really wet right now." I immediately blushed at my words. He gave me a boyish grin but didn't say anything.

"I should go change. I'll make dinner after I clean up this mess." I practically flew to my room and locked myself in the bathroom. What had just happened?

One second I was laughing and then we were kissing. I touched my lips slowly, it had felt really good. I hadn't felt this way since Adrian's death. My mind replayed everything that had happened in the kitchen.

"I've never seen you laugh like that. You should do it more often, you look beautiful." He had said it like it was no big thing, but he hadn't realized how much it meant to me. He had called me beautiful and I could see that he hadn't been lying, he had meant it. He had asked me to laugh more often and I realized that I hadn't laughed in a while. Not like the way I had been laughing a while ago, I was actually happy and it wasn't forced.

I smiled at the realization and hopped into the shower to get rid of the sweat and soap on me. After I was done, I ran back to the kitchen to clean up the mess. I was surprised to see that it was clean, Dimitri had cleaned it before he left. I walked up to his room to than him, he had just showered and a few strands of hair had escaped from his pony and clung to his face. The moment he saw me, he pushed his hair out of his back into his pony.

I couldn't understand him, did he have a problem with his hair or he just didn't like anyone touching it or seeing it open? He cleared his throat and brought me out of my thoughts.

"You don't have to bother to cook, I've ordered Chinese. I hope you you like Chinese." That made me smile, I loved Chinese and hadn't eaten it in a while.

" I love Chinese! Thanks for ordering, I was too exhausted to cook."

" It's not a big deal, would you like to watch a movie in my room? You could pick anything of your choice." I immediately took his offer, if I watched a movie in his room, I could pretend that I was tired and sleep in his bed. I really missed the warmth when I slept alone and he was amazing at cuddling. He was nervous as he waited for my reply but seemed happy when I accepted.

After the food had arrived and after we had finished eating, I spoke. " Will you be coming home early tomorrow?"

"Do you want to go somewhere?" He examined my face, waiting for my reply. It made it a little harder to lie to him but I managed.

"Nowhere in particular, just wanted to go shopping with Mia." That was a lie, I wanted to respond to Comrade's massage. It's not like I was going to do anything wrong, we were just meeting up as friends I told myself.

" Yeah actually, I'm having a meeting and by the time I'm back it's going to be late. Don't wait up for me." Phew, he had believed my lie which meant that I was free tomorrow. I jumped up to go to the washroom, I texted Comrade that I was free and then washed my hands and came out. I felt a little guilty when I saw Dimitri waiting for me on the bed. I didn't have anything to do anyway and I didn't want to get bored waiting for Dimitri, I reasoned with myself. Besides, it's not like I was doing anything wrong.
