Chapter 17 – The Party
The whole school was buzzing about the large game the twins congratulating the twins on how well they did in the game.
Our friends and family retreated inside the house, where Trixie and I got some food out. Dimitri helping where he could, Trixie noted Dimitri cutting peppers and winked at me. I smiled as I looked to my family and friends. This is what dreams are made of.
I entered the pantry grabbing the cakes that I had hidden there the day before yesterday.
"Wow, who made them?" Eddie coming up and taking a look at the cakes.
"She did, obviously." Trixie answered.
I'd placed the Tardis covered chocolate cake and a vanilla rainbow drip cake on the side.
"Mum! You didn't! When did you do this?" Luca came up to me eyeing up the cake. "You even have my favourite doctor oh and look there's Donna! I love Donna! You out did yourself. Thank you!" He gave me the biggest hug, they weren't my babies anymore. I could feel tears coming but I pushed them back this was a happy day.
Ari came over next eyeing her cake. "Oh mum, can I keep it? Like not eat it?"
"Not eat cake? What have I told you about swearing?" She laughed at me. We all ate and soon we were singing happy birthday. It was nearing when I told the twins they should go get ready, everyone started leaving so they could get ready for the party.
Dimitri left to go get ready giving me a kiss in front of everyone. I smiled as he walked away into the darkness.
"I want dets." She giggled as she placed her arms around me.
"He believed me." She gave me a squeeze.
"It's been a big weekend hasn't it? So you have a father, who knew?"
I laughed at my blue hair friend. "Well I wasn't an immaculate conception. Come on let's get ready before the guys get here."
We walked upstairs, the party started at 8 so we had three hours. Trixie asked me to help dye her hair as hers had faded a lot. I bleach washed it putting her new colour in. we let it set over a hair dryer then washed and styled her hair, it looked fabulous. Trixie changed into a vintage 60s lace wedding gown, we'd found it in a charity shop a few years ago. It fell to just above her knees and it had originally been completely white, but now the bottom was tie dyed. It flowed from white to purple, then green finishing at dark blue on the bottom, with her new hair she looked stunning.
I changed into my dark blue satin dress, it had a split to the top of my thigh, in case I needed the freedom to fight, there were thin straps around my back but it showed my back off as it started at my lower back and finished it with nude heels.
I pinned part of my hair up letting the loose curls hang around my face and back. I made my eyes Smokey and added some gloss, done.
I stepped out of my room to hear Ari give me whistle.
"Wow mum, that dress looks amazing on you."
"Thanks hunni, you look great. Is that the dress from the mall?" I asked eyeing up her black dress. Her hair in a very similar do as mine.
"Yeah dad picked it out." I smiled at my daughter.
"Are you ok?" I asked seriously.
"I mean it was a shock, a lots happened in a short time. But it feels right somehow. I'm not talking for him but Luca and I know why you left the academy and where I know I don't want to be a guardian, I'm glad I've had the opportunity to come here." She smiled at me reminding me of her innocence.
"I want to travel more, to write. I want to go to college and do something."
"Then you will. You can do what you want. It's your life." We hugged tightly.
"I love you mum."
"I love you baby." We travelled down the stairs. I saw a certain tall and handsome back waiting in the kitchen. He was talking to Luca who was facing us as was Eddie and Trixie. I noticed Luca looked handsome in a white shirt that was rolled up to his elbows and a dark red waistcoat along with black trousers, his long hair that was usually messy was tied back. He looked so much like Dimitri that it took my breath away.
Hearing me gasp Dimitri turned around, he had on a dark blue shirt with black trousers, his hair also tamed into a ponytail at the base of his neck. He eyed me walking towards him.
"Roza." He walked to me cupping my face in his hands. "You are breath-taking." He whispered to me before claiming my lips with his.
"Get a room." Luca told us making a gagging noise. Ari punched him in the arm.
"Don't it's romantic." I turned to Eddie who was still stood in the kitchen with Trixie he looked handsome, his blonde hair falling in a messy yet handsome way, his white shirt rolled at the sleeves also along with black trousers.
"Like her hair?" I asked looking for Trixie's new hair, it was full of pinks and purples and I'd braided it elegantly letting the colours show themselves off.
"Stunning as usual." He said kissing her hand. "Shall we go?" Eddie asked offering Trixie his arm.
In not time we entered the big top again, the guys had done well, all the front seats were gone leaving the ground free for socialising. The ring was a large dancefloor and the tired seats had been left for seating. Over to the right there were tables. They'd hung fairy lights across the scaffolding turning into a magical fairy-tale.
Already a lot of the twins friends were here as was our circus friends. The music was already blaring as we entered. I found Dimi trying to get Angel to dance with him, but she shook her head and told him no. I laughed at my friend who looked a little lost.
"Jenna getting ready still?" I asked my friend. He nodded. I held my hand out to Angel who was wearing a lovely pink party dress.
"Shall we get you a drink sweetie?" In seconds she had hold of my hand.
"Traitor." Dimi muttered to Angel who smiled. I had just passed Angel her drink when I noticed mom walk in with Abe. He had a white suit on with a blood red waistcoat, white shirt and a red handkerchief sticking out of his pocket.
I'd never seen my mom in a dress before and it suited her. She had a jade green long dress on, it covered her but still it looked revealing without showing anything off. The pair noticed me and came straight towards me.
"Kizim, you looked beautiful." My father said giving me a hug.
"Kizim?" I asked.
"My daughter, in Turkish." He elaborated for me. I nodded.
"So what's dad in Turkish?" I asked.
"Baba. But you don't need to call me that, it's what you feel comfortable with." He repeated my own words back to me.
"Whatever you say baba." I rolled my eyes and smirked at my old man who laughed at me.
"I can see we're going to get along great."
By this time the party was in full swing, all the off duty guardians were in attendance, as well as teachers and students. I noticed Ari dancing with a red haired boy who looked a lot like Mason, I caught Eddies eye as we looked at my daughter. We smiled at the scene in front of us before retreating back to our conversations.
Lissa looked radiant in a light blue wrap dress, it showed off her belly perfectly. I'm glad she'd worn flat shoes, there's nothing worse than swollen feet. Ok there's plenty worse but you know what I mean.
"May I have this dance milaya?" Dimitri asked me from behind, his voice tickling my ear causing me to shiver in his arms. He lead me to the dance floor and Sam I saw caught us walking to the dance floor asked the DJ to change songs, choosing a slower song, Dimitri pulled me in close as an Adele song started. We swayed together not moving much, she felt a little stiff in my arms.
"Can you dance Comrade?" He shook his head.
"Well I'm going to have a lot of fun teaching you. You may get rewards for good behaviour." He smiled looking down at me.
"You don't know how much you mean to me and now know we have children it's like a dream come true. You are perfect. I love you Roza." Before I could answer he kissed me deeply, it wasn't a kiss that I'd say was child friendly. It was a take your breath, heated kiss one that literally had you gasping for air.
We stopped when there was a tap on our shoulders.
"Sorry to interrupt but could I steal Rose for a dance?" Dimi asked looked expectantly at Dimitri who reluctantly let me go.
Dimi was in a rolled sleeved off white shirt and brown trousers, he even had on braces. A slow song started to play as Dimi placed a hand on my waist and taking my other in his hand. We stepped together Dimi taking the lead.
"So, that's the reason you couldn't call me Dimitri." He stated in my ear as he led me around the dance floor. I smiled at my friend who looked at me.
"If he hurts you, I'll kill him."
"I have a feeling if he does, Luca, my father, Trixie and my mom will all take him." I laughed, the music upped its pace making us dance quicker.
I noticed again that Sam had grabbed Trixie leading her around the dance floor.
Dimi spun me around then as I spun back to him he dipped me and pulling me back up making my hair flip through the air. We danced elegantly together before spinning me again, I noticed Trixie being spun as well as we switched partners.
I was now dancing with Sam. "Hi poppet. How are you?"
"I'm ok, thank you for the party, it's amazing."
"You know us love. Any reason for a party." I laughed as we moved together even faster as the tempo stepped up even higher. Finally finishing in front of Dimitri. I thanked Sam as I moved towards Dimitri but was hindered by Abe who asked for the next dance. I looked apologetically at Dimitri who was asked by Trixie for a dance.
"Where did you learn to dance?" Abe asked me placing a hand around my waist.
"Here actually, well not at the academy, but in this tent surround by most of these people. Dimi and Sam taught us a lot." Abe nodded looking at Dimi and Sam as we passed them.
"They're married are they not?"
"Yeah, they had it in this tent also. This tent has seen a lot."
"You seem to have raised Ari and Luca well. They are lovely children. I was talking to Luca he said he wants be an engineer."
"Yeah he can sort anything mechanical, he didn't get it from me that's for sure. They are both smart like their father."
"Who is Dimitri?"
"Yes."
"Wasn't he your mentor?" Was he judging me?
"Yes he was but it wasn't like that. Yes we both made mistakes but that wasn't one of them." I defended us.
"He's a dhampir." Abe stated.
"Yes he is." I didn't want to get into it here now.
"They look like him." He smiled down at me. His gaze only showed love. After a slight pause he added, "you're special. I want to get to know you, all of you. I've missed a lot and we'll talk properly another time, but I would like to be a part of all your lives. If you want." Bless him, he looked so scared.
"I'd like that." He kissed me on the cheek reluctantly releasing me into Adrian's arms.
"Little dhampir, you look radiant. As always." I smiled at my flirtatious friend. "You look happy. I'm happy for you."
I must have danced with everyone that night. After Adrian Eddie claimed me and then so did Christian. Even Stan asked for a dance which wasn't as awkward as I though it should have been, we laughed the whole way through which made it bearable. I dint stop for hours as every time I tried to leave the dance floor to Dimitri but I never made it.
Luca came and claimed me next, he twirled me around easily.
"Thanks for this mum, it's been great." He smiled at me. He looked towards Dimitri who was dancing with Ari who was trying to teach his to dance.
"You love him don't you? I can see he loves you."
"Is that ok?" I asked my son, who looked so much older than his 12 years.
"Of course it is. I don't need all the details, it's between you too, but if he hurts you. Dad or no dad I'll…."
"Luca, don't worry. It'll all be fine."
"I love you mum and I want you to be happy. After the baby is born are we leaving?" I thought about it yes things had come together, but this wasn't my world anymore. I'd need to talk to Dimitri about it soon the baby was only months away. I nodded to my son.
"Where do you want to go?"
"I thought that maybe we could stay in one place. I want to go to school."
"That's fair. We'll discuss it with everyone." He kissed my cheek before asking a girl to dance. I finally looked to Dimitri. I was three feet from him when a guardian I didn't know asked me for a dance.
"I'm sorry but I'm all danced out right now. Maybe another time." I smiled at him. He smiled and left me as I walked towards the love of my life.
Ari and Luca came bounding over asking if they could stay with some of the kids from the circus, which I agreed to, it could be months until we saw them again.
After hours of dancing all I wanted was my bed, Dimitri agreed easily. We said our good byes, Dimi giving me a wink telling me he'd put the twins presents away . I'd forgotten about them. How bad was I?
We exited the tent to the sun trying to shine through the winter haze. I shivered slightly remembering I'd left my wrap at home last night. At least it wasn't far until we hit home.
Dimitri walked me to the door kissing me as I opened the door. I slipped my shoes straight off moaning slightly in the ecstasy I felt by taking them off.
"I have no idea how women wear heels all the time. Give me trainers any day." I said massaging life back into feet. Dimitri laughed heading to the kitchen and grabbing a glass of water.
"Here you go, you didn't manage to get a drink this evening."
"Thanks." I took the glass and drank it all down. I stood and placed it in the sink. I looked out the window. In front of it I could see the big top tent couples and groups walking across the lawns towards the academy on their way back.
I felt Dimitri behind be, his hands grazed my arms lightly again his breath on my neck sent shivers through me sending goosebumps through my body. He lowered his lips until they met my neck kissing from my ear to my shoulder.
Dimitri kissed my strap down my shoulder so he could kiss my naked neck and shoulder, making my head relax against his shoulder.
"Hmmmm that's nice." Dimitri placed his hands around my waist rubbing my stomach underneath my satin gown.
"You're so soft." I moaned again as I brought my lips towards his, the second our lips connected it was like we were another lust spell. I turned around to face him, my legs wrapping themselves around his waist.
Dimitri walked us to my room carrying me with him the whole way. The second the door was closed he had me up against it. One of his hands finding my erect nipple which show clearly under the satin.
Dimitri pulled the top of my dress down to my waist as he took my bare nipples into his mouth. I jumped at the . OMG this was amazing.
His hand disappeared under the hem of my dress and into my folds making me gasp again as he caused me so much pleasure I came on his hand.
"Roza, You are perfect. This is home. With you. In you." He said as he placed his hard arousal at my entrance. In a slow but steady pace he'd slipped all the way in making me claw at him.
"OhMyGod! You're so big!" I moaned as he moved inside me. In seconds I was coming again as held me against the door. His lips taking mine again as I came.
He held me tighter as he moved us to the bed, he lay me down and held himself over me, never taking his growth out of me. He picked up his rythum as he kissed me everywhere.
His moans escaping made him sound even sexier. I said something is Russian as he came, which turned me of so much made me climax again making me milk everything out of him.
"Fuck Roza! I can feel you tightening up. You are so sexy." He kissed me again as he held me.
We stayed like that for a while before I realised I needed the loo. He laughed as I told him why I need him to move. I moved from under him and finished my business.
I lay back down next to a sated Dimitri on the bed, he was under the covers, still naked with his arms open for me. I snuggled into his side, this is what it was supposed to be like. We fell asleep like that I each other's arms.
