Chapter 25
"Oh my fucking gosh," I screamed. It wouldn't zip up. I almost broke down crying. This can't be happening to me. Lissa ran into the room.
"Rose what's wrong?" She asked. Christian ran in, breathing heavy.
"Did she find it?" he asked, all out of breath. Lissa and I stared at him.
"Find what?" I growled.
"Uhh. . nothing." he said. Lissa looked back at me.
"What's wrong," she asked again.
"I can't fit into my wedding dress." I motioned to me trying to zip it up. My breathing picked up. The wedding was a week away. A fucking week away.
"Haha Rose is fat." Christian said falling to the floor laughing.
"Shut up Fire crotch." I hissed.
"Probably from all those donuts you keep eating." he laughed. Lissa pushed him out the room. I closed my eyes. I slowed my breathing. I was dreaming this, this was a dream. The wedding dress fit, and I didn't have someone else's wedding on the same day as mine. All this bad stuff just a dream. When I open my eyes, I will be sleeping next to Dimitri and none of this will have happened. I opened my eyes to find a worried Lissa.
"No, no, no." I screamed.
"Roza," that Russian cowboy was about to see me. My eyes widened. I ran to the door closing it in his face. It wasn't suppose to happen that way, but it did.
"Oww, Roza my face."
"Sorry, sorry. I couldn't let you see me. I slipped out of my wedding dress and handed it to Lissa. She put it in the closet and I let Dimitri in as Lissa left.
"What's wrong Roza?" he asked.
"What isn't wrong. . I can't fit into my dress and someone is trying to take the place I'm getting married at from me. I don't know if I can handle this." I said shaking my head and taking deep breaths. He wrapped his arms around me.
"It's going to be fine." he said stroking my hair.
"I'm tired of hearing that. Its not going to be fine. Its gotten worse since the last time someone has said that." I groaned pulling away from him. I walked toward the closet and put on some clothes. I sighed.
"And I can't even eat a donut to make me feel better because that's causing one of the problems." I whined.
"We can do training like we use to and you will be able to fit your dress. Stop stressing." He told me.
"I can't. I keep wanting this to be so perfect for us. But its becoming a disaster." I almost started crying.
"Roza look at me," he demanded. I didn't.
"Roza," he repeated. I looked up.
"I love you and that is all that matters. If the wedding is a disaster, I will still be happy as long as I have you. I don't care where we get married, you can even get married in your bathing suit, I just want you there with me for the rest of my life." He brought his lips to mine. I smiled as a tear fell from my eye. He wiped it away with his thumb.
"Now c'mon your bachelorette party is tonight and I want you to have fun." He told me smiling.
"You too. What are you and the boys planning? Adrian's suppose to be out here with a surprise but he won't tell me what it is."
"I don't know what is is either but just have fun tonight. Enjoy your last night of freedom, just don't enjoy it too much." he told me. I smiled.
"I would never," I told him.
"What are you guys planning?" He asked.
"Let's just say I'm going to have random guys' hands all over me." I tried to say as seductively as I could.
"Massage?" He asked. I smiled and nodded.
"Massage. Lissa is taking all of us to the spa. Sydney, Mia, Viktoria, and me of course." I confirmed.
I went into the bathroom and swished water into my mouth. Ugh.
"Please god, if you get me through this I promise I won't ever drink again." I took a veil off the top of my head.
"Can you be quiet? Gosh a person does have to sleep," A voice said. I looked around and noticed someone in the bathtub. I slowly walked closer.
"Sydney? What are you doing in the bathtub?" I asked. She opened her eyes.
"All the couches were taken. But besides that my mouth burns." she said getting out of the tub.
12 hours earlier !
I walked into the spa suite to see Sydney and Mia already standing there. It was amazing. Spa tables and hot guys. Shit I could get use to this. To my surprise I even found Ambrose as one of our masseuses. I smiled and greeted everyone. Soon enough we got started with the massages. Ambrose was working on my back.
"I see why you are loved at court," I said in complete pleasure. It felt so good to have the knots in my neck, from stressing, be worked out. Everyone was enjoying their time and Sydney didn't mind that she was with evil creatures of the night. She had gotten use to us, I guess. One of the masseuses came with some green drinks that didn't look good but tasted good. They were alcohol free and organic. Sad face. Mia smiled and handed me a bag.
"Open it," She said excitedly. I thanked Ambrose as I got up. I dumped out the bag on the table. There was so much stuff. Beads, boas, blinking light rings, and a veil. Mia picked up the veil.
"Since you are the bride, you have to wear this," She said smiling. I sighed as she put it on my head.
"Look at the beautiful bride," Viktoria said smiling. Lissa held up a glass for a toast.
"To Rose on her last day of freedom," She announced. I pouted as we all clinked glasses.
Back to the present
I walked out of the bathroom to find everything a mess. There were feathers everywhere and Lissa was lying on the floor with messed up lip stick on her face. She had a dog collar around her neck.
"Rise and shine everyone," I said as everyone opened their eyes.
"Liss, why do you have a dog collar around your neck?" I asked.
"Is that why my neck is so sore. . "She stated more than asked. She removed the collar from her neck."And I think I bit my tongue."
"My back hurts," Viktoria added.
"I feel fine," Mia said smiling and stretching.
I stared at her. I blinked a couple of times. Everyone started to stare at her.
"What," She asked.
"You have a massive black eye,"Lissa told her.
"You're joking," Mia went to touch her eye,"Oww." She started pouting.
"Why do you sound like you're wearing a retainer," Sydney asked. Lissa shrugged. I walked closer.
"Liss, open your mouth," I told her. She complied.
"Oh my god you got your tongue pierced." I exclaimed.
"Ahhhhh, Rose, Rose take it out." She whined. I pulled my hand away.
"Rose, ow-ie" She whined. I started laughing.
"Rose my mouth still burns," Sydney whined. I went to go get her a glass of water. I gasped. There was a fake ring in place of my real one.
"My ring, Where is my ring?" I screamed. I started screaming and searching and panicking.
"Why don't I remember anything from last night? where is my ring?" I started flipping over couch cushions and pillows.
"This cannot be happening to me right now," I yelled.
"It feels like I took shots of fire. Is anyone else's mouth on fire?" Sydney asked. I was going to die. Where the hell was my engagement ring?
"Mine is," Lissa said.
"Everyone shut up about their stupid mouths. My engagement ring is missing. Its fucking missing. Nobody move." I hissed. Just then a dog riding a skateboard emerged into the room. We all stared at it.
"Shit," Sydney yelled running to the sink and sticking her tongue under the water. Everyone else was just sitting there.
"Don't just sit there help me." I yelled and everyone started looking.
"Don't worry Rose, we will find your ring." Lissa assured.
"My life is over," I groaned throwing a bag to the floor.
"I want another one of those hippy drinks," Sydney said.
"I loved those drinks," Lissa said smiling.
"Maybe those are why we can't remember anything. What the hell was in those drinks?" I asked. Mia shrugged.
"I'll call and find out." Mia announced leaving the room.
"Eww why is there raw meat in my purse?" Lissa cried in disgust.
"Is my ring in there?" I asked taking her purse and looking through it. I dropped it when I didn't find it,"Everyone check their purse for my ring." I demanded. Everyone complied.
"If it makes you feel any better I lost my phone," Sydney whined.
"It doesn't," I said pushing aside more pillows,"Oh my god Dimitri is calling. I don't even know what to say to him." I started to answer the phone but Viktoria took it from me.
"I'll stall him." Viktoria said leaving the room. I continued to look around. I knew everytime someone said things were going to be fine, things got worse. I took deep breaths. It wasn't helping. I pulled my knees into my chest and almost started crying.
"She will give you a ring later." Viktoria said. I looked up and glared at her. She shrugged.
We walked over to where everyone had emptied out their purses.
"Anyone find anything?" Viktoria asked.
"A condom so if anyone got lucky last night they were safe." Sydney said throwing the condom. Mia walked back in the room
"Okay so we have one of those good news, bad news things. The good news is the drinks were perfectly healthy. . unless you mix them with alcohol. . that was the bad news." She finished. I lunged at her.
"Rose, calm down. You probably already made her pay for it with. ." Lissa pointed to her eye. "Black eye," Lissa mouthed. I sighed. Sydney spoke.
"We have good new. Here's a receipt from a tattoo parlor. One embarrassing tongue piercing," Lissa mad a face," and . . one. . tattoo." Sydney finished. Everyone's eyes widened. Everyone started checking themselves. Shit and there's a possibility I could have got a tattoo. I continued looking all over me. I screamed. There was a number on my leg. It looked familiar.
"Wait, that doesn't look like a tattoo," Viktoria took her finger and rubbed it. She licked her finger.
"It's chocolate." I took a sigh of relief.
"Did you just tasted that." I asked disgusted.
Viktoria shrugged, "I had to take care of Paul and Zoya. It could be worse." She said.
"Before you eat the rest of it, we should call it," Sydney suggested.
"Found it," Lissa exclaimed.
"My ring?" I asked in excitement.
"Viktoria's hoe tag." Lissa said. We all gasped. I put my hands over my mouth
"Hoe tag? Its called a tramp stamp." Mia corrected.
"Then why don't you have one?" Lissa joked.
"I have one," Sydney announced.
I was still shocked and Viktoria started panicking.
"What is it?"She asked. I shook my head not saying anything. Viktoria tried to look to see what it was. She reminded me of a dog trying to chase it's tail. She ran into the the bathroom. We all followed.
"Why would I get boots? Why?" She screamed.
"Because that tattoo kicks ass," Sydney exclaimed laughing. Viktoria frowned.
"We could always ask the tattoo artist." Mia suggested.
"Let's go." Lissa exclaimed.
"Maybe they'll have your ring there." Viktoria suggested. I looked at my hand. On the way there we called the number. It went to voicemail. Adrian's voicemail to be precise. Why was Adrian's number written on my leg?
We reached the tattoo parlor. Viktoria read the receipt and walked up to the guy giving tattoos.
"Uhmm. . Stash?" She guessed.
"Hey. .what's up boots? I'll be with you in a minute." he answered. Viktoria turned around to take a seat.
"Did that guy just call you boots?" Lissa laughed.
"He probably had me confused with someone else." Viktoria stated.
"You're right he probably thought you were some other girl with boots tattooed above your ass." Lissa laughed. I was surprised she said ass. It was funny though.
"Mama is gonna kill me. How could I be so stupid. I have to live with this tattoo the rest of my life." She whined.
"Its not that bad." Mia assured her. Lissa started laughing harder and showed Viktoria the picture of her with her boot tattoo in a book. We all started laughing except Viktoria.
"Wait I just remembered something." Sydney announced.
"What?" I asked hoping it had something to do with my ring.
"Bull riding." She said.
"What does that have to do with anything?" I asked.
"We have a mechanical bull at a bar not too far from here we should go check it out." Viktoria informed us. We nodded. Stash walked toward us.
"Why did Viktoria get the boot tattoo?" Mia asked.
"Because of her nickname," he told us.
"I thought the nickname came from the tattoo," Lissa guessed.
"Well I guess the tattoo came from the nickname." Stash told us handing Viktoria the picture.
Flashback
"Boots, Boots,Boots," Everyone cheered. Viktoria started yelping in pain as stash gave her, her tattoo. Everyone was having a great time. Mia grabbed a hold of a needle and some tongs.
"I can do this," She assured Lissa as she stuck the needle through her tongue. Lissa cried out in pain.
End Flashback
"Boots wasn't the only one who got a tattoo." Stash informed us.
"Who else got one?" Lissa asked.
"One of her brothers," Stash said handing over another picture.
"Brothers?" Viktoria asked taking the picture.
"Oh God, Frat guys?" Lissa groaned.
"Gross," Mia groaned. We left the parlor to go to the fraternity house. They looked happy to see us.
"Aye its Boots and the girls," One of them said. Everyone raised an eyebrow as I failed to.
"You guys were awesome last night." Another one exclaimed. I was worried. I told Dimitri I would never enjoy it too much.
"Awesome how?" I whispered to Lissa. She shrugged.
"You guys know us?" Lissa asked.
"You don't remember?" One of them said. Then they started dancing and singing 'Low' by Flo Rida and T-pain.
Flashback
'Low' was playing and everyone was having a great time. Dancing on tables. Ass to ass. We were shaking it like there was no tomorrow. The frat guys were dancing too. Lissa had accidentally elbowed Mia in the face and she went flying off the table. We all continued dancing and laughing. I threw my hand up in the air and shouted in joy. Viktoria did too. I brought my hand down quickly after I felt something leave from it. Viktoria and my eyes went wide. We were frantic.
"Oh my god, where is my ring." I yelled searching with Viktoria's help. Mia picked it up screaming. Viktoria and I screamed and I hugged her after taking the ring and putting it on my finger. I turned to look to see, Sydney upside down chugging beer with the help of the guys. I smiled and started dancing again.
End Flashback
The guys brought out a lost and found box.
"Hey Boots, what did you lose?" One of the guys asked.
"My ring," I said pouting.
"Why did you guys nickname me boots?" Viktoria asked.
"We didn't. That's how you introduced yourself." He replied.
"Did you guys happen to lose a skateboarding dog?" Sydney asked. One of the guys nodded. We brought him back the dog.
"That probably explains the raw meat in my purse," Lissa noted.
We thanked the guys and left after we didn't find my ring. We headed down to the bar with the mechanical bull. I searched the bull frantically and still found no ring. Everyone else helped too and found nothing. I sighed and made my way to the bar stand everyone else followed suit.
"I need alcohol." I exclaimed.
"You can try the boot again." The bartender said.
"The boot?" I questioned. I read the sign :
The Boot
15 types of alcohol mixed in a real cowboy boot
"Again?" Sydney asked.
Flashback
Everyone cheered 'Boots' as Viktoria drank out of the boot. 15 different types of alcohol to be drank from a cowboy boot didn't exactly sound healthy.
End Flashback
"That's how you got that name," I exclaimed turning to Viktoria. She groaned and put her face into her hands.
"God, what is up with the cowboy obsession you and your brother have." I laughed. My phone started to ring.
"Sydney why are you calling me right now?" I asked.
"What?" She took my phone from me.
"Hello. . yes. . we'll be right there." She hung up the phone.
"They found it." She exclaimed.
"My ring?" I asked.
"No, my phone. Its at the fire station." She said. I had half the mind to slap her. Once we got to the fire station, she got her phone and we didn't find my ring. She was going through her pictures. We had alot. With the firemen and on the pole. There was also some at a sports bar. We also had some at this hotel and we had a room number as well.
"The sports bar is the closest." Viktoria told us. So we went. We sat down at a table. One of the waitresses walked up.
"Hey Sydney, I'll get you those free wings right away." The waitress said. I shot them both questioning looks.
"Free wings?" Sydney asked confused.
"As long as you're the wall of flame champ, you eat for free." the waitress said. I saw the pieces click together in Sydney's mind.
"That's why my mouth was on fire." She exclaimed.
"How did it go with that cute guy last night?" The waitress asked me. I was confused. I continued to look at her funny.
"The guy. . the guy you were making out with." She explained. My eyes widened and everyone let out a gasp.
"Noo, I was not making out with a guy. . I'm engaged." I told her. Dimitri was going to be so mad at me. Oh my god. I was terrible.
"I know you said it a million times but I thought you were joking. . because of the toy ring you were wearing." She finished. I blinked and blinked. I didn't know what to say. I looked toward everyone else.
"What did I do?" I asked nearly about to cry.
Viktoria stared at me.
"Let's just find the wedding ring first before we think about what might have happened." Lissa said. We searched the bar and still found nothing. I threw the toy ring.
"Time to go check that hotel,"Sydney advised. I took a deep breath. This was the last place it had to be here. We walked up to the room after reaching the hotel.
The door opened. To my surprise it was Adrian. His hair was a mess and he was shirtless and in his boxers.
"Adrian," I exclaimed.
"Little Dhampir. What do I owe this pleasure?" he asked.
"Its about last night." I told him.
"Right, I'm sorry I nailed you so hard and gave you that black eye, Mia. Oh yeah man I have never went through a whole box of condoms in one night. You were amazing Little Dhampir. Best time I have ever had," Adrian said. I felt one of my eyes start to twitch. I couldn't figure out what to do first, cry or hit Adrian in the face. Eventually the crying won. Lissa comforted me as I fell to the ground. Sydney stared at Adrian in disapproval.
"I was worried about him calling off the wedding after I kissed someone but now. ." I broke down as tears came flooding down my cheeks.
"He's. . . not. . going to. . . to marry . . . . after this. I'm . . terrible. . I . . would. . never. . and. ." I sobbed into her shoulder. I could feel Viktoria looking at me with disbelief.
"Its going to be fine." Lissa told me.
"No, no its not. Every time someone says that it gets worse. First the church, then the dress, after that the ring, followed by the making out, then me and him. . " I couldn't even finish.
"Whoa, Little Dhampir. What do you think we did?" Adrian asked.
"You made it pretty damn clear what we did." I yelled at him.
"You don't remember last night?" he asked.
"No," I sobbed. He took my hand and dragged me to the elevator. Everyone followed. We ended up at some stairs that lead to the roof.
"What are we doing here?" I asked. He motioned around with his hands. There were busted condoms lying on the ground. I tried to remember.
Flashback
"Hey, I know where we could go to have a good time," I exclaimed. Everyone seemed interested.
"Where?" Lissa asked.
"Adrian's. He's staying at that one hotel. Plus he has a surprise." I told them. We all laughed and piled into the car. I smiled as we arrived at the hotel. We took pictures outside of it. I opened my text message from Adrian to see which room he was in. We took pictures outside his door as well. Once he opened the door, I flew into his arms.
"Whoa Little Dhampir, how much did you drink?" he asked.
"I don't remember." I slurred. I moved away and Sydney kissed Adrian. He was surprised at first but kissed her back.
"We came here to have fun. Not watch you guys kiss." I asserted. He smiled.
"What do you guys want to do?" he asked.
"Water balloon fight!" I exclaimed.
"I don't have water balloons." Adrian frowned.
"But you do have condoms," I said picking up the box on the floor. It was full too. I smiled as we went to go fill them up.
End Flashback
"Ohh I remember now. The water balloon fight." I smiled and hugged Adrian. Thank god I didn't sleep with him. Dimitri would have never forgave me. But that didn't change the fact I still kissed someone. I frowned and pulled away.
"What's wrong?" Adrian asked.
"I kissed someone last night and I don't remember who. And I lost my engagement ring." I told him as tears filled my eyes once more. They were threatening to spill.
"Don't tell him." Viktoria said. I looked at her.
"What?" I asked in disbelief of what I thought she said.
"Don't tell him. What he doesn't know won't hurt him." Viktoria told me.
"But I'll know. Marriage is about loving someone for who they are. And excepting someone for their mistakes. He deserves the truth." I got up and left. Running down the stairs as fast as I could. I was done talking about it. I needed to tell him but how. Once I reached the bottom. I slowly walked home. It wasn't that far away and I needed to think of how to tell him. I cried along the way. I screwed up. I knew that. I made my way to the front door after taking a deep breath. I opened the door to find Dimitri laying on the couch.
"Don't tell me your night is just now ending?" Dimitri chuckled. I didn't respond.
"Did you have fun? Because we do have the rehearsal dinner." He said.
"We might not need the rehearsal dinner." I muttered. He looked at me. No, he stared at me in confusion and disbelief. It was now or never.
"I don't deserve you, I did something horrible. . Well two things. . I lost my engagement ring. ." He raised his eyebrows. I tried not to start crying again,"and I kissed some guy. . I promise you it will never happen again and it didn't mean anything. . I don't even remember who he was."
"I do." Dimitri said.
Flashback
We were at the sports bar, when I seen him. I ran toward Dimitri and put down my beer. I was so happy he was here. I throw my arms around him, jumping on him.
"Comrade," I exclaimed loudly.
"Whoa," He said catching me. I brought my lips to his. I missed him so much. It had only been a few hours since I'd seen him but I couldn't get enough of him. I kept kissing him over and over. He pulled away.
"Hi," I said smiling.
"So what was so important that I needed to come all the way down here Roza?"
"Well, I was looking at this," I showed him my engagement ring,"earlier and I realized I needed to tell you something really important, right away. . I love you. I mean I really, really love you." I whispered smiling. His lips came crashing down on mine. I kept kissing him and accidentally dropped my ring.
"I'm just going to hold onto this for you," he said picking up the ring.
"No, I feel so naked. . you should get naked." I suggest trying to unbutton his shirt. He pushed my hands away. I kept trying.
"No. . stop." He caught a hold of my necklace and took of the blinky ring and put it on my finger.
"Yes, I'll marry you." I exclaimed throwing my arms around him," I love you." I said kissing him.
End Flashback
Dimitri held out the ring toward me.
"We have literally been looking everywhere for this." I said as he slipped it onto my finger. I kissed him and it wasn't until everyone else walked through the door that we stopped. I turned around and smiled as I pointed to my ring. Everyone smiled and cheered. Adrian had also came back to the house with them and he was groomed and dressed. I smiled. I'm glad I didn't punch him in the face.
"Whoa Mia, What happened to your eye?" Eddie asked as he descended down the stairs with Christian.
"Adrian. . its a long story." She said. Adrian shrugged and smiled.
Lissa yawned.
"I'm tired." She said. I looked at her. She forgot to take out the tongue ring. Christian, Dimitri, Eddie, and Adrian's eyes went wide. I pointed to her tongue. She didn't get it at first then her eyes went wide as her hands covered her mouth.
"You got your tongue pierced?" Christian asked. Lissa nodded. He wiggled his eyebrows.
"What did you guys do last night?" Dimitri asked looking at me.
"A lot." I told him. Viktoria made her way up the stairs. Her tattoo was showing.
"Boots," I called to her. She quickly cover it but Dimitri had seen it.
"Vika," he yelled running after her. I smiled.
"What a day," I exclaimed falling onto the couch.
"Rose get dressed i have a surprise for you," Dimitri called down the stairs. I smiled and went to go get dressed.
"Can I look now?" I asked. Dimitri's hand covered my eyes. We stopped walking.
"Now you can look," he said removing his hands. I was speechless. This church was breath taking. There were white roses along the benches and a white carpet leading to the alter. Everything was just. . beautiful.
"What is this?" I asked.
"Where we will have our wedding." He said smiling. I looked around. It was decorated just like I imagined. Olena, Lissa, and Christian stepped from behind us.
"Do you like it?" Olena asked. Lissa was holding my wedding book.
"I love it," I exclaimed,"When did you do all this?" I asked.
"Well Dimka and I worked on it while you were out last night." Olena said.
"With the help of this book," Lissa said.
"How did you know I wanted all this? I didn't even tell you to write it in the book." I looked around admiring everything.
"Well let's just say, every little thing you said, I took note of." She said smiling.
"And you didn't have your bachelor party? You did this instead? This is how you spent your last night of freedom?" I asked.
"The party was short. I decided I'd rather make this perfect the way you want it, you do only get married once and I figured we should do it right." Dimitri said.
"Even I pitched in a little," Christian said smiling. I was shocked Christian? helped? I turned to him and hugged him.
"She deserves it Christian. You love her and she loves you. She deserves it." I whispered to him. He smiled and nodded.
"I told you I would fix it."Lissa said smiling. I hugged her too.
"I'm so glad your my best friend." I whispered. It brought tears to my eyes. Whoa today I was way too emotional but who could blame me. Now all I wanted was to be with Dimitri for the rest of my life.
