CHAPTER 26 ROSES POV
"So lets go over the to do list one more time..." Lissa said looking very serious with her golden blonde hair pulled back into a tight bun, tight jeggings, and black Louboutin pumps. Her nose was burried in her new 'wedding' palm pilot as she tapped her foot against the plush, carpeted floor of the Dragomir Jet. We were currently in the air traveling to New York City to find the perfect bride and bridesmaids gown. Our little group consisted of Lissa and I, of course, Mia, Sydney, Marissa, the wedding planner, and six guardians. The guys obviously didn't have to come, Marissa had already taken their measurements and sent them off to a custom tailor for the tuxes to be made. I was extremely angry about this. I mean how the hell am I sopose to sleep with Dimitri across the country? I crossed my arms and humphed at the thought. Lissa sharply glanced at me before going back to her list. I rolled my eyes. "... As I was saying, flowers on order?" Lissa asked Marissa.
Marissa scanned her own palm pilot. "Check. The garden roses have been died all two different shades of pink and two different shades of peach. Your bouquet will have the same color scheme as well as your bridesmaids and the flower girls rose petals."
"Shit!" Lissa said typing furiously on her palm. "Rose I need you to get on the phone with Karolina as soon as we land and ask what Zoya's dress measurements are. Oh and ask what Paul's are too for that matter since he will be the ring bearer." I nodded. "Alright since the venue is all booked next on the list is invitations. I assume they were rush delivered, am I correct?" She asked.
"Yes the guest should have already gotten them and I highly doubt that they will not attend the next queen and last Dragomir's wedding." She said as they both checked invitations off there palm pilot lists. Their discussions went back and fourth like this for the next hour and a half as they discussed topics like decorations, food, how many courses of food there would be, hair stylist, and make up artist, ect. Their conversation ended when the pilot announced that we were landing in ten minutes.
I breathed a sign of relief as the wheels touched down on the private runway of JFK airport. For being a super tough, bad ass guardian I was deathly afraid of flying. There was just something about being thousands of feet in the air with all your trust in some man that was flying your plane that got me on edge. I smiled happily as I exited the jet and entered the cold New York air. Lissa and I had the time of our lives when we were there while on the run. Sadly we had to go because I was paranoid about the academy finding us. I immeadiatly pulled out my iphone and clicked on Belikov home. After three rings a familiar voice picked up the phone.
"привет (Hello)." Karolina said.
"Эй Каро, его Роуз (Hey Karo, It's Roza)." I said in russian. I was still a little choppy but with all my free time I took up learning the native tongue of the love of my life. When Dimitri was with me, with the treat of sex, I got him to help teach me. Apparently I was a very quick study.
"Роза! Вы узнали России. Я удивлен. Я думал Димка былодержима не позволяя вам узнать его!
(Roza! You've learned russian. I'm surprised. I thought Dimka was hell bent on not letting you learn it!)." She said with a laugh.
"Я знаю, но это было довольно легко убедить его, если вы знаете, что я имею в виду
(I know but it was pretty easy to convince him, if you know what I mean)." I giggled. She laughed a long with me. Understanding what I meant.
"Так что же вам нужно Роза? Я не могу поверить, мы будемвидеть Вас в четыре дня! Я так рада, идет на свадьбу!
(So what do you need Roza? I cant believe we are going to see you in four days! I am so excited to be attending the wedding!)."
"Я знаю! Ну мне нужно измерений Павел и Зои. Лиза хочет, чтобы они были девушки цветка и кольцо на предъявителя (I know! Well I need Paul and Zoya's measurements. Lisa wants them to be the flower girl and ring bearer)."
"Ах, как интересно! Мои дети будут в королевской свадьбы. Я получу их сразу же и текст их к вам (Oh how exciting! My babies are going to be in a royal wedding. I will get them right away and text them to you)." She said excitingly.
"Хорошо я поговорю с вами позже Каро. Bye Bye (Alright I'll talk to you later Karo. Bye Bye)."
"Bye!" She said happily and hung up. I went back to join the group as they got into the limo. A guardian was driving with one in the passenger seat. The rest were driving behind us in an SUV with our large amount of luggage. Everyone was looking at me in shock.
"When did you learn russian?" Mia asked.
"Over the summer. I took online classes since I had nothing to do. I wanted to surprise you guys." I told them. Lissa had taken russian as a class at St. Vladimir's because as a queen she would be dealing with many people from many countries, Russia being the biggest. Sydney also knew it. being an alchemist meant she traveled to many countries. She also new ten other languages. Don't ask me how. And Mia only knew the basics because she only took Russian 1-2 as an elective.
"Well anyway on with the dresses. First stop is Chanel!" Lissa said as the limo began to drive. We arrived their twenty minutes later ready to take fifth and Madison Avenue by storm. The limo pulled up out front and the guardians opened the door for us. I made a plan with them in case of strigoi and then procieded into the store. A muscular human wearing a black suit opened the door for us. He was obviously a security guard. He gave us a warm smile. A young preppy woman dresses sleek in all black Chanel greeted us.
"Ah, you must be Miss Dragomir. Congradulations on your engagement." The human smiled at us. She obviously thought Lissa was some young billionaires about to inhairet her daddy's fortune. Well techinally she wasn't that far off. "Let's head to the bridal salon for you. We have selected numerous gowns and bridesmaids dresses for you and your friends. You may head up to the ninth floor, our top level, and I will grab you guys some champein." She smiled one more time before scurrying off to get some probably overprices bubbly stuff. Everyone began to walk up the stairs and I followed only to be pulled back by Lissa. She quickly pulled me in a close hug. Well as close as we could be with my very pregnant stomach and her slight baby bump.
"Rose... As you know you are my best friend and of course my maid of honor." I beamed at her. She was so excited to have me as her maid of honor. She took hold of my hands. "Well for so long you have been my only family. Your are like a sister, best friend, mother, father, a brother... Just a whole family all wrapped into one." We both giggled a little at the brother and father part. "And well I want you to walk me down the isle!" She said biting her lip in anticipation. My face broke out into a huge smile and I pulled her into a tight hug. I felt Serena kick my stomach. I think we squeezed her a little to tight.
"I would love to, Liss!" We began to squeal together as we headed upstairs. Everyone was sitting on a simi circle white leather couch in the middle of the room with a circular glass coffee table in front of it. A rack of dresses lined the long wall behind the couch and another rack lined the wall in front of the couch. The wall opposite of the stairs that we just walked up was just a huge window overlooking Madison Avenue. Finally just to the right of the stairs. Guardian Abrams was standing quietly in the corner, doing the whole seeing and not seeing at the same time thing. When I walked into view he nodded once at me before going back to watching the room. We only spent around thirty minutes in Chanel. The store didn't have much of a selection.
We spent the next two hours shopping for anything and everything. Of course our main goal was dresses but still we were girls who loved to shop. About ten stores later we were dead bead and shopped out. We had gotten my maid of honor dress at Saks Fifth Avenue, Lissa and Mia's bridesmaids dresses at Her, Zoya's flower girl dress. Her dress was a little white A-line tulle tea length dress a light peachy-pink waist band with a little rose in the same color. We also got everything from perfume, to shoes, to jewelry, and clothes. We didn't really need makeup or hair products because Lissa had professionals coming to do that stuff.
The only thing that we didn't have was the piece de resistance, Lissa's wedding dress. When I thought the day had ended, Lissa surprised us with one last stop. That's when I noticed were the limo had stopped. We got out of the limo to see the holy grail of Wedding dresses, Vera Wang. We all got out of the car and headed into the amazing store, where a nice woman greeted us at the front desk.
"Hi my names Lissa Dragomir, I have an appointment for wedding gown sizing here." Lissa told the woman nicely. She obviously knew who Lissa was because her eyes widened in shock. She nodded furiously.
"Yes, yes! Right away Miss Dragomir. We have been expecting you. She typed something furiously in her computer then jumped up. "Right this way!" She said leading us to the elevator. Was this woman on speed or something? She pressed the elevator button and it quickly pinged, alerting that the elevator was her. The doors opened to reveal a man in a suite. We filled into the elevator leaving the crack woman outside. "Level ten, Joshua." She told the elevator attendant. Holly hell this place even had an elevator attendant! The ride was quick and the elevator binged again telling us we were at the right level. We exited the elevator to see a room almost like the Chanel one. But as that one was cold and black and white, this one had a warmer feel with neutral tones like golds, browns, and whites.
A woman was waiting in the room with sparkling cider. Well it looks like someone realized that there were two pregnant woman in the group. We all took seats on the large couch and began to sip our cider. Not three minutes after we exited the elevator the door pinged again. This time a petite blonde woman stepped out. She had some glasses on her nose and her platinum hair was pulled back in a sleek pony tail. She held a white clipboard. Next a small frail asian woman stepped out. She wasn't that old, maybe around sixty, but the little amounts of plastic surgery and her size 00 body made her look older. That when I realized who she was, the legend herself, Vera Wang.
Back when Lissa's mom was alive we would all come to New York over christmas. Lissa's mom was very good friends with Vera. Which by default, I knew her too. I remember being little and running around the store and riding the elevator while Lissa's mom had tea with Vera.
"Vasilisa! My god child you have grown into a beautiful young woman! And now your getting married!" She yelled, scurrying as fast as she could over to Lissa with open arms. "Let me take a look at that ring (Pic. on Profile)!" She observed the huge diamond and whistled. "DAMN! That's a diamond!" They embraced for a moment and did that cheek kiss that people always do. Her eyes then snapped to mine and widened in surprise as she looked at my stomach. She then gave me a huge smile. "ROSEMARIE!" She screamed. She small body ran over to me and pulled me close. "My lord Rose! Who is the lucky man... My I touch?" I nodded. She put her hand over my swollen belly. I felt Serena kick a little.
"His name is Dimitri Belikov." I told her thinking of my Comrade.
"Well I'm sure he must be pretty fine to get you huh?" She asked with smile.
"Oh, yes." I said with a smirk. She whistled. I chuckled.
"Well lets get to a dress shall we! Oh one more thing Rose, I expect to see you and your Dimitri at Lissa's wedding to begin to plan your wedding dress." She told me seriously. I chuckled.
"Of course." I told her.
She nodded at me. She had always loved me and my attitude. "Good, good. Well the dresses..." She turned to Lissa. "I have picked out a few..." She trailed off. "Sarah!" She snapped her fingers. "Get me the Rita, the Platinum, the Elenor, the Eva, and any other tulle skirt dresses." Vera barked dress names at her assistant. She turned to Lissa. "Being the family friend that I am and knowing you as well as I do I assume you want tulle." She turned to Lissa with a knowing smile. Lissa shook her head furiously and she moved with Vera and Sarah to the dressing room while I took a seat with Lissa, Mia, and Marissa on the white, patent leather simi-circular couch.
I couldn't help my mind wander to my Comrade. He was most likely at the academy with the guys... Playing X-box. I swear Dimitri and Adrian acted more like teenagers than Christian and Eddie. I decided to call him cause to be honest I missed him. Lissa wouldn't be out of the dressing roomThis was the farthest and longest we have been away from each other. I quickly speed dialed him. He answered after the second ring.
"DUDE! THAT WAS AN AMAZING SHOT! FUCK I WISH I WAS A GUARDIAN SO I HAD THAT AIM!" I heard Adrian yell in the background followed by gun shots and bombs going off. Ugh... They were playing Call of Duty: Black Ops again. I heard Christian and Eddie curse.
"Baby." Dimitri said loving.
"COMRADE!" I shrieked.
"Hey, baby. Whats going on?" He asked me. I could hear all the gun shots and the screams from that game in the background. I also could hear the controller buttons clicking. It sounded Like some one was multi-tasking.
"Were getting Lissa's dress." I told him. "I miss you, baby." I sighed sadly. "Serena does too." I told him rubbing my belly. I heard the gun shots and yelling stop. I think Dimitri paused that game.
"Dude, what the hell?" I head Christian yell.
"Ya man what the fuck?" Adrian said, pissed. I heard Dimitri shuffle a little, he was probably standing up to walk outside.
"What ever man, you got the weed?" I heard Christian ask faintly.
"DIMITRI ALEXANDR BELIKOV!" I screamed. Oh I swear to god if they have drugs I will have a shit fit!
"Don't worry about it baby." He told me. "He is just messing with you."
"Promise." I asked in my sweed voice. I head a door open and shut as he walked outside.
"I promise." He said. "And I miss my two girls. So much Roza. I am contemplating flying out there just so I can sleep with you in my arms." I absolutely loved this side of him. He would do anything and everything for me.
"COMRADE." I complained. "I want you here so bad!"
"I know Roza. I want you more that ever." He groaned his russian accent more pronounced, causing heat to rush to my core.
"Mmmmm... Don't tease me baby." I giggled. Sydney and Mia glared at me. They knew how um... involved... Dimitri and I could get.
"Fuck Roza. I love when you giggle. Its so hot." Dimitri growled.
I giggled again and licked my lips. "Ya..." I said quieter because of Sydney and Mia's wry looks. "well I love it when you talk dirty to me. I-" I glanced around the room. "Я просто хочу тебя ебать мою киску с огромный член. О, БожеЯ получаю так мокрый просто думать о тебе (I just want you to fuck my pussy with your huge dick. Oh god I'm getting so wet just thinking about you)." Sydney looked like she was about to throw up. Oh right she knew how to speak russian.
"Ебать, Роза (Fuck, Roza)." He growled.
I giggled again. I was about to say something when Sydney interrupted me.
"Maybe this isn't the best time for that..." Sydney said with a smirk nodding to where Lissa was emerging from the changing room.
"Oh, Baby. Lissa is coming out in her first dress I got to go." I said with a pout.
He mumbled something in russian and I think I picked up something like 'Damn sexy Roza... Giving me a boner..."
I giggled some more and wished him my love. "Maybe we can skype-sex tonight." I told him. Mia and Sydney gave me blank looks and shook their heads at me.
"Bye Roza. I cant wait to see you. I love you guys." He told me lust still in his voice.
"We love you too. Baby sends her love." I told him.
"Bye, Baby."
"Bye Comrade." We finally hung up. I frowned a little. ugh I missed him so much.
Lissa strutted towards us in her first gown.
"Ladies this is the Elenor." Vera said presenting Lissa. It was a beautiful A-line dress with a tulle skirt and a bow tied around the waist. it was ok. Not perfect. She went back into the dressing room and tried on multiple dresses. The were all beautiful but not right.
That's when we saw the one. Vera came out of the dressing room first. "Everyone, the Platinum." She stepped to the side to reveal Lissa's perfect dress. It was a dress fit for a princess. The skirt was long and trailed behind her a little, it was tulle of course. Under the bust was a thick band, right now it was purple but it would be the same color as my maid of honor dress for the wedding. It also had a strapless satin sweetheart lined top.
"Oh..."
"My..."
"GOD!"
"Lissa that dress is perfect! I think we are done here!" I said getting up. I was so tired and was in desperate need of a Dimitri back rub. Ugh why couldn't he come with us!
Everyone agreed and Lissa thanked Vera and told her she would see her at the wedding. We all exited the store and wade our way back to the Limo. We gathered in and it began to drive us to the plaza, the hotel we were staying at.
It was totally her style. it was an old rich kind of hotel right on fifth avenue right across from central park. It was beautiful.
The valet and guardians helped us unload as we made our way up to the presidential suite. it was perfect cause it had four bedrooms. The guardians were staying on either side plus would be patrolling the halls, roof, and lobby. The wedding planner would be staying across the hall from us.
"Everyone we are going to dinner tonight so get ready. We leave in half an hour." Lissa told us. God, how did she have this all planned out in one night. We all got ready in a hurry. Knowing Lissa she probably booked some really fancy restaurant. Once we were all ready we took off to the restaurant. I poured sparkling cider into four wine glasses in the limo. I cleared my throat and held up my glass.
"I just wanted to make a toast to our lives. I can't even comprehend how much our lives have changed in this short amount of time. And I just want to say that I am so happy for you Liss. And thank you for giving me the chance to plan the most awesome bachelorette party on the plant!" I said with a laugh and downed my cider. She narrowed her eyes at me before drinking.
"Rose. I swear to god if you got strippers I will have a bitch fit." She said. I laughed. Of course I had strippers already. But I wasn't going to tell her that.
"Sorry Liss. This is my part. Not you choice." I told her.
"FINE! But I'm not shoving money into anyones panties. " We all laughed at her.
"Thats okay! More for me!" Mia giggled.
We laughed more before getting out of the car at a restaurant called Butter. It looked like one of those socialite places were people that are famous for being famous go. We toasted one more time before getting out of the car. As we all entered the restaurant I had a devilish smile on my face. Lissa's bachelorette party would be one to remember!
Sorry this chapter is kind of boring. It had to be done though. Coming up next are the bachelorette and bachelor parties, and the rehearsal dinner. Be prepared for some hangover references at the boys bachelor party. It's going to be a good one. Pics of dresses will be up on the wedding chapter so you will get to see them. Remember to REVIEW! Believe me it helps me get them up faster. Oh and Sydney's picture is up on my profile! Check it out.
