Okay, I know it has been a while since my last update. Like I have said I have reached a huge writers block and writing around it is getting a little hard. But thanks for the reviews and your patience. Enjoy.

"All better?" Christian asked while I was packing my bag.

"What do you mean?" I asked not even bothering to look at him, but by the way that he sounded he was probably deep in thought.

"You were happy about being my guardian until she told you that we were bunking together." he said. This time I did turn to look at him.

"I could have sworn that you agreed to shut up about that not even a full hour ago." turning away from him and grabbing more things.

"I didn't say anything about that; I was talking about what happened in Alberta's office. Rose if you don't want to guard me you don't have to. Dimitri was right I probably won't have a guardian after I graduate, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable." he said.

"I don't feel uncomfortable, and you don't give yourself enough credit, you really think that people still think that way about you?"

"I know they do rose, I am neither blind nor deaf, I hear them talking and I see how they treat me, even teachers isolate me most do it without even thinking."

"That's sad." I said looking at him and tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.

"No that's the price I have to pay for my parent's crime." he answered. "Speaking of, I believe aunt Tasha wanted to talk to us" he added with a huge smirk.

With that I zipped my bag and headed for the door that Christian was now holding open for me.

"Wow I didn't know being a guardian came along with my own personal doorman." I joked once we where in the hallway.

"Ha ha, now where is uncle Belikov room?" he joked with that same grimace in his voice that he held when talking about Dimitri.

"That's funny but what's funnier is the thought that someone will be calling him daddy in what? Seven months?" I asked. Although that wasn't as funny in my head as it was out loud.

"Go figure, I'll have a cousin, I guess I should be happy for her." he said. I noted the fact that he said for her and not for them.

"Come on they are probably waiting" I said nudging him to try and improve his current mood which was bringing me down.

We were silent the rest of the short walk to Dimitri's suite. It was a comfortable silence one that spoke a thousand words. When we did manage to get to the door it seemed like neither one of us wanted to break the silence with a knock. One knock would be all it took to ruin our moods today. Breathe…

I let Christian be the one to break the silence. Part of me wanted to grab his arm and run but before I could even get my mind to work correctly the door swung open fiercely revealing a very angry looking Tasha. The entire room smelled like the aftershave that I had at one point loved almost as much as the person who wore it.

"In!" she said to the both of us in a whispered yell.

Christian and I shot a quick glance at each other before obeying. I wish I knew what she was like when she was mad. I had only met her when she was being sugary sweet, I couldn't lie and say I wasn't anxious to see what dimitri saw in her as far as self control goes.

"What took so long?" she asked obviously talking to Christian but was now looking at me in a very accusatory way. Hold on did she think that we….oh very brave, just don't be stupid with what you think you know.

"Sorry but who would have thought rose actually acted like a girl when it came to packing." Christian said with a quick chuckle.

"Don't be a smart ass Christian, sit down, you to Rose." she said motioning us to the couch. Just as I had sat I saw Dimitri come around the corner, guardian mask and all.

"Guardian Belikov" I said pretending to show respect, my personal feelings weren't the reason why we where here this time. But it seemed as if he was past pretending to have any sort of feelings for me because he just looked at me. Ouch

"What the hell is wrong with you Christian?" Tasha said. Way to cut to the chase.

"What are you talking about?"

"What do you mean what am I talking about? That little stunt you pulled with Dimka was rude. I swear you have no manners some times."

"I have no manners?" he said with a smug grin on his face.

"No, you don't. I don't know what your problem with Dimka is but you really need to get over it." She added. Wow I see where Christian gets his attitude from but she hid hers well I'll give her that much.

"this isn't about Guardian belikov it's about rose, she is trying her hardest to get over this but I'm not trying as hard, I meant everything I said that day in the clinic." he said his voice getting a little louder.

"Calm down Christian." I said I really didn't want him getting in trouble because of me.

"Well if she doesn't want to deal with it then I suggest that you leave it alone, your just asking for trouble if you keep this up." Tasha said making each word crisp and clear.

"Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?"

"No Christian that isn't all, I wanted to talk to you about your relationship with rose, I think she is a very smart girl and brave, not matter her actions."

I was trying my hardest not to bite her head off at that comment, I was already pissed that she had insinuated Christian and I had, had sex before coming to see her. I was a little more pissed because Dimitri stood there and let her do it.

"Okay?" he said relaxing a little on the couch.

"Well the obvious question is how serious are you?" Tasha asked sitting in an arm chair across from us and Dimitri sat on the arm of it. This was something that I had never seen him do before it actually looked a little sexy. Leave it alone rose. I scolded myself immediately but I mean my feelings for him could have changed but the fact that he was hot certainly did not.

"Like I told Alberta we are friends at the moment." Christian said

"That's what you say but both of you are acting as if you to are in a sexual relationship I mean you don't go anywhere without her and vise versa"

"Forgive us for being close. What do you want me to say?"

"Have you had sex?" Dimitri said for her.

"What business is it of yours if we have?" I asked suddenly unable to hold my anger back.

"It is my business because I am his aunt; it is Dimitri's business because he is your teacher." Tasha offered.

"My what? Since when?" I said jumping up from the couch.

"Dimitri didn't tell you? He will resume your training now that you have the okay to participate. Now answer the question."

"This is just great, first you leave then your back and she's pregnant, and now you want to mentor me again? What the hell is your problem? Is it not satisfying enough to see that you already hurt me by coming back?"

"That is not what this is about you were two years behind and I know you weren't fighting while I was gone so you need to train."

"And that's why I kicked you ass today?" I said using every bit of rude sarcasm I could muster.

"That's irrelevant."

"Like hell" I said as Christian pulled me back down to the couch.

"Breathe rose" he said as I looked at him, his eyes told me that it would be okay. I hope your right. I thought.

"That is what we're talking about, you respond to Christian in ways you use to respond to me"

"Then we are doomed Christian" I said with a sad smirk.

"So it would seem" he said, then he turned his attention to the two lovebirds on the chair. "If it makes you two feel better no we haven't had sex, can we go now?"

"Not yet, one more question" Tasha said. "Rose how deep was you relationship with Dimitri?"

This caught me off guard. "Huh?" I asked looking at Dimitri who was now looking questioningly at Tasha.

"Well you seem really torn up about it, I just want to know."

"Ask him." I said shooting my eyes his way. "I am definitely not getting in the middle of that. Come on Christian" I said standing up grabbing my bag and heading for the door.

There was something going on in their blissful paradise and I wanted nothing to do with it. Although a huge part of me wanted to jump up in down in both of their faces, men…they can make you do very stupid things.

AN: I don't want to sub a chapter for this announcement so here goes. As I have mentioned my brain is a little fried at the moment, so I will not be updating as often, I am going to finish this story but I want to finish writing the entire thing before I do so, I already know how it will end it's just getting there that is the problem. I am not saying that you won't be getting updates which you most definitely will I am just saying the they won't be as quick as normal so if you really like the story you should put it on alert. Today I did something that I have never done before in my life, and that was brainstorm and create a time line for the rest of this story so I won't make this and my original story collide. Meaning my hiatus won't be as long as normal and hopefully my grammar will improve during the course of my break. Thanks for your support ~ Diona Chistei
