A Month Outside the Gates

by jessica.dangerfield.9

Rose & Dimitri are sent outside St Vlad's for a month. Just the 2 training Rose. In a house for a couple. Will their control crumble? Does Alberta know, has she purposely done this? Who else knows? What about Chrissa? The ski trip? Adrian? How does Victor's trial go down? What about Rose's Mom? How will others view this month? Will Abe appear? And what about Rose's kills?

My boyfriend fell into step with me seconds after I'd bolted from Alto's room and that awful conversation with my mother.
"Nice work there, Rose. Truly admirable." I seriously had trouble repressing the shiver, moan and smile all that praise in public had created. Well, it tried to, because none of the would-be-a-cover-blower-of-a-reaction showed.
"Thanks, Comrade. Seriously."
"Am I sparring with you again?"
"No. It's the machines this class, remember!" I teased. A month away had allowed us to create our own timetable, and that meant we'd forgotten the one at school. Sorta.
"Do you do the standard stuff, or mine?"
"Yours. I follow yours because it's more intense. The standard is too easy." And it really was.
"Well then..." my man mused. "How about..." He upped everything, yet again. But I wasn't going to complain.
"Challenge accepted."
"That's my girl!" he proudly whispered so only I could hear. His eyes said 'you're really my woman'. Stupid cover. How could I be mad at him when his eyes always told me the truth? I couldn't, it was impossible; it was that simple. God, I loved him. I loved that man so much it bloody hurt. How had I lucked out and landed him as my soulmate?

Classes finished two days later, and Dimitri had offered to cancel afternoon training, since I 'was already on holidays, it wasn't fair'. His words, not mine. I'd argued it, and we negotiated to training for the first half-hour and 'training' to end the semester. We got lucky, and didn't get caught. Thank god.

Unfortunately... Lissa called through the bond. She had someone she wanted to me meet. 'Right now! I don't care if I'm cancelling your training or not. Get your Sister ass out here!' She flashed me an image of- oh shit! The frozen pond near, and the outside of, the cabin Dimitri and I had defiled every single internal surface of. There wasn't a single surface in that cabin that hadn't seen some level of true action between Dimitri and I. I didn't know if I'd be able to handle it if we ended up inside.
"Ugh! Lissa!" I whinged. She'd done more than interrupt training. She had awful timing, too.
"Roza?"
"We need to run. And you're not going to like where to." I updated him as I hurriedly dressed before safely escaping the gym. Dimitri was hot on my heels. Unsurprisingly.
