When we got back to the room, Bailey and Adrian were playing Candyland again. I smiled as we walked in, but Adrian must have seen through it because he gave me one of those 'are you ok' looks. I just nodded at him as Dimitri and I made our way over to where they were sitting.
"What happened mommy?" She asked.
"Nothing. Aunt Lissa just needed our help with something. That's all. Sorry it took so long Adrian." I said. He shook his head.
"Don't worry about it. I've been having fun getting my butt kicked by a three year old. Its great." He said, sarcastically. Bailey giggled. Dimitri smiled. We both sat down on the couch and watched. Bailey was a very competitive player. Every time she'd move more than two spaces ahead, she's say things like 'ahah, beat that.' or 'bye loser.' We all couldn't help but laugh. I laid my head over on Dimitri's shoulder, and sighed. He kissed my head."Rose… Are you alright?" Adrian asked. I nodded.
"Alright? Ehh. Stressed? Yeah. Tired? A Little. Wanting to beat the shit out of someone? A lot." Bailey turned to look at me and I smiled.
"Sorry." I said. She nodded.
"Whats wrong mommy?" She asked. I shook my head.
"Nothing's wrong. Work is just stressing me out right now." I said. If I told her what was really wrong, she wouldn't understand. What was really wrong, was the Ozera bitch was here. I didn't like her here. I didn't want her here, and I wish I knew someway to get her the fuck out of her.
"I'm sorry mommy." Bailey said, climbing up on my lap and hugging me.
"Rose… when's the last time you took a vacation?" Adrian asked. I snorted.
"About… five years ago. Why?" I asked.
"You look like you need another one." He said. I nodded.
"I need out of here for a little while." I said. "What if I said, I'd watch Bailey and you two go out for a little while. A day or two." He offered. It sounded great. It sounded amazing actually, but-. My thought was cut off by Dimitri speaking.
"You'd do that?" Adrian nodded.
"Hell yeah. Me and the twerp have fun, and plus… I know you and Rose have been under a lot of stress. You two should go. I'm not doing anything the next few days, and Christian will help me." He said. Dimitri nodded.
"Thank you. This will be good for her. She's under a lot of stress." Dimitri told him."Will you please stop talking about me like I'm not standing here." I snapped. Dimitri turned and took my hand.
"Roza… you know its true. You need a break. Your going to lose it." He said. Staring into those brown eyes, I couldn't deny him anything.
"Okay.. Fine." I muttered. Bailey smiled.
"Good mommy. You and daddy should go have fun. You work hard as a mommy and a guardian." Bailey said. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her.
"I love you so much." I whispered. She giggled and held me.
"I love you too momma." She said. I then hugged Adrian.
"Thank you so much." I said. I held him for a second before letting go.
"Your welcome." He murmured, kissing my forehead. He shook Dimitri's hand.
"We'll just hang out here and stuff. We'll have fun. It'll be good for you two. Go get a hotel, or go to a bar, or casino, or something. Do something fun." He said. We nodded.
"We'll go tomorrow. Think you can be here around nine?" I said. He nodded. "Sure." He said. He hugged me and Bailey and left. Bailey smiled up at me.
"You and daddy are going to have fun." She said. I turned to Dimitri and nodded.
"I bet we will." I said. She smiled. Since we missed breakfast, we all three went out to dinner at the café. As we walked out of the court, my name was called. I knew who it was before I turned around. Tasha fucking Ozera.
"Hey Tasha." I said. It was almost a growl.
"This must be her. God, she looks just like you Dimka." She told Dimitri. Bailey gave her a confused look.
"What'd you call him?" She asked. Tasha smiled.
"Dimka is Russian for Dimitri." Tasha told her. Bailey smiled back up at her.
"That's so cool." Bailey mused. Tasha giggled.
"She's precious." She said. I nodded.
"I know." I said.
"I'm sorry. You were leaving. I'll catch up with you later." She said, giving Dimitri one longing look before turning around and walking away. I took a deep breath and turned around, heading back out of court and towards the café. When we got there, no one really spoke. Bailey broke the silence… like always.
"I want to learn Russian." She blurted out. I smiled.
"Dimitri can teach you one day." I said. Dimitri nodded.
"You were supposed to teach me how to swear in Russian… remember?" I asked. Dimitri chuckled.
"And just like I told you back then, you swear enough already. You don't need to know how to do it in another language." He said. I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, but then most people wont know what I'm saying." I protested. He laughed.
"Most people would know with you, no matter what language its in." He said. I rolled my eyes. Bailey was laughing. I smiled. After dinner, we went back to the room, and all showered. Dimitri and I packed our things, even though I had no clue as too where we were going. We both tucked Bailey in and crawled into bed.
"Where are we going tomorrow?" I asked Dimitri. He chuckled and shook his head.
"Not a chance. It's a surprise." He said. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Seriously?" I asked. He nodded.
"Yes ma'am. You'll see." He said. I growled and he started chuckling.
"You think that scares me?" He asked.
"It should." I said. He shook his head. I rolled my eyes, and pressed my lips to his. He kissed me back sweetly at first, but it turned into something different in a second. I threw a leg over him, and straddled him. He put his hands on my waist, holding me there like he never wanted me to leave this spot. I trailed kisses down his jaw, his throat, and collar bone.
"Please tell me where were going." I asked. He took a deep breath.
"Nope." He whispered. He was cracking. I smelled an easy victory. He knew it too.
"Roza… Please. I want it to be a surprise." He said. He was using the power of those beautiful brown eyes on me. It wasn't fair.
"You cheat. You use those eyes on me." I muttered. He chuckled.
"You say it like you don't do the same too me." He whispered, pressing a kiss to my throat. I shuddered. He chuckled.
"I love you Roza." He murmured.
"I love you too Dimitri." I said. He smiled and reached up, bringing my mouth back to his. He smiled against my lips.
"I cannot wait to be alone somewhere with you… my sweet sweet Roza." He murmured, running his nose along my collar bone. I shuddered.
"I could say the same comrade." I murmured. He chuckled. The sound wrapped around me like a blanket.
"Get some sleep. You're going to need the energy for tomorrow." He said, wagging his eyes brow's at me. I giggled. I kissed his lips gently.
"Goodnight love." He whispered.
"Night comrade." I whispered before closing my eyes and falling asleep.
