Chapter 11: RPOV:
I woke up a couple hours later, we had gotten permission to have the day off, but I still wanted to go to class so I jumped into the shower, Dimitri had given us the morning off so we could get a little extra sleep before combat first up. Still not really wanting to show off my molnijas I wore my Nike fitted long sleeve workout shirt in orange with black bike shorts that came down half my thighs, also Nike and then I put on some socks and a black pair of Nike runners. I could be in a Nike ad, I laughed internally. I decided to straighten my hair and wear it down and then when class started I would tie it up. I also put on some BB cream by Bali Body jut to give my face that extra glowy I'm awake look.
I put on my big zip up jacket, I kind of look like an igloo. You guessed it also by Nike, because I have combat, I can wear these clothes all day but generally we get to shower after. A lot of us don't because we aren't sweating that much but I usually just go back to my room to shower.
This was my first combat class with Dimitri, I have been in Guardian Alto's class, but he recommended me to come to this class. We all piled in and sat on the bleachers until Dimitri did the roll call.
"Rose I will explain everything to them in Russian and then I will tell it to you in English" he said
"No need" I said and smiled, he looked at me confused.
"YA svobodno govoryu po-russki, poetomu ya mogu govorit' i ponimat' eto" I said in perfect Russian. (I am fluent in Russian, so I can both speak and understand it) I saw his face pale, he must have realised I understood what he said last night. (I will be typing in English but they are speaking in Russian)
"Very well Rose" he said, he looked like he wanted to punch something. I never knew that loving me could be such a horrible thing, I felt really sad and wished I had never come to this class.
"Alright class, we are going to be partnering up today to practice sparring" Dimitri said, the boy next to me I think his name was Igor asked me to be his sparring partner and I agreed and then.
"Rose you will partner with me" I looked at him shock clear in my face, I definitely should not have come to this class.
"Sorry Igor, maybe next time" I said
"That's okay, I look forward to it" he said with a wink. Eeeew. I mean he wasn't bad looking he just had nothing on Dimitri, nobody did.
"Everyone remember, nothing above the shoulders, BEGIN" more quietly he said to me to just wait a couple minutes while he observed the class. I just did some stretching while he observed the class. Finally we got to sparring! We knew each others moves quite well, we had been training together for months now. We had been sparring for 15 minutes and I only just realised that the whole class was watching us now. We weren't even tired, our stamina was great, I could only imagine what sex with him would be like. Focus Rose, he kicked me and I stumbled but not enough for him to pin me. I faced him and then kicked his left making him stumble backwards but also turning I then ran behind him and kicked my leg out making him fall flat on his back, I then pounced on him and straddled him, put my hands over his chest.
"Dead" I whispered with a smile on my face. Everyone in the class cheered. I forgot they were here. I could see love and adoration in Dimitris eyes. I put my mask on his face and I saw the hurt in his eyes. Too bad. The bell rang, I was just about to leave when Dimitri stopped me.
"Rose, did you hear what I said last night?" Yes, I sure did.
"Ah yes" oh gosh this couldn't be good.
"I didn't mean it; it just came out. I'm sorry. I don't feel that way" I felt like I was going to throw up. I had to get out of here.
"I understand, thank you for clearing that up" after I said those words I turned around, and walked out of the gym, I definitely did not understand, as soon as I was outside, I threw up in the garden. My heart had been ripped out and shattered into a million pieces. I started crying and walking back to my dorm with my head down hoping no one would see me crying. I was wrong. I wish we never came back to the academy. I wish I never met him. As I walking back to my room, Ivan saw me…
"Hey Rose, are you okay" he asked concerned
"Yeah, I'm fine, just not feeling well, might be a bug or food poisoning. Can you please let my teachers know I won't be in class" I asked? I could tell he didn't buy it, but he agreed anyway. I texted Lissa and asked her to come to my dorm for a girl's day. She immediately agreed and came straight over. And as soon as she saw my face, she was ready to kill someone.
"What did he do" she asked as she hugged me. I could barely get anything out I was crying so hard.
"He... he … said he didn't lo… Lo… Lo… v ve me..." I continued crying. After a little while I calmed down and told her what he said last night and then what he said in class.
"Rose you are a bad bitch, who don't need a man. You are smart, fucking sexy and beautiful and he is a dumbass for not seeing that. He does not deserve you; you are the most loyal person I know. So, grab some clothes, get in that shower and let's go to class. I did exactly what she said. The end of the day I had Guardian theory and Dimitri was guarding standing along one of the walls. I didn't look at him and after a while I forgot he was even there. I'm going to focus on my schoolwork and practice for exams and field test before we graduate. At 3:30am it was time to head to the gym for my mentoring session. I had been dreading this all day.
"Hello Roza" he said, when I saw his face, I lost all train of thought.
"Dimitri, what happened?" His nose was broken, and he had 2 black eyes forming.
"Nothing I don't deserve Roza" he responded looking away and then he continued.
"Start with running and then we'll do some weights"
"But Dimi" he cut me off.
"Rose, Laps now." He commanded, and I went off on my way, I've built up my stamina to do 27 laps but today I felt like pushing it to 30, and I also wanted to avoid him. What happened to him? When I was in my 28th lap he came outside and was watching me. When I finished, I walked over to him to cool off, he handed me my bottle of water.
"How many did you do today?"
"30, it's my new PB" I looked at the ground and smiled, I was so proud of myself. I took off my shirt leaving me in a coral orange sports bra that had thin straps showing off all my new tattoos, my leggings were high waisted black Nike's. When I took off my shirt, I could see him staring at me. I made my way over to the weights. After I finished with the weights, I bid Dimitri farewell and went back to my rook to study. When I got back to my room Lissa was there, I was so happy to see her.
"Rose thank gosh your back, I have something to tell you" This sounded good I thought, but before I could say anything she said
"Rose you look so fit, you loo…. Show me that tattoo" it was the one on my side in Russian saying 'for you, I will smile' she had tears in her eyes.
"Is that for me?" She asked looking up at me.
"Yeah and this one" I showed her my spirit tattoo with the cross and the V.
"Oh my gosh, they're so beautiful, I love them. I can't believe you would get a tattoo for me".
"I love you Liss, we're pretty much all we have" I said and I have her a hug.
"Now what did you want to tell me" I asked with a smile
"So Ivan told me he loved me" I wasn't expecting that, but I'm happy for her, if one of us should be sad it should be me, I never want to see Lissa sad.
"Oh my gosh tell me EVERYTHING"
"Well… when he carried me to my dorm last night I woke up and asked him if he wanted to stay and talk" well doesn't that sound familiar.
"he said that maybe I could pack a bag and I could stay over in his house, we could watch a movie and he will cook me something because we didn't eat before we left. So, we were watching a movie and he brought me some food and after we finished eating he said I love you it was so cute and romantic"
"Aw that's so cute, have you guys had sex yet" she looked away and blushed
"Oh my god Lissa, was he good?" I asked
"Rose" she said embarrassed, and I just laughed. I'm so glad that she's happy. I looked down at my blanket, I started picking at threads. How did I get myself into such a mess?
"Are you okay Rose?" She asked. I looked up at her with unshed tears.
"Oh, Rose I'm so sorry" she wrapped her arms around whilst tears fell from eyes.
"I wish I never came back" I choked out. She just held me whilst I cried myself to sleep.
I woke in the early hours of the morning; Lissa must have gone back to her dorm. I got out my phone and called the only person that could help me right now.
"Art, it's me Rose, can you please come and get me? Can we go hunting please?" I talked on the phone for a little bit, Art said he would be here before morning to take me away for a couple weeks.
I packed a bag and went back to sleep knowing that I might not get a lot of sleep while I'm away. It was about 1pm when Art came to my door, he grabbed my bags and told me to meet him at the car and to let Lissa know that we would be gone for 3 weeks. When I go to Lissa's she was still asleep. I woke her up and let her know I was going, she was sad, but she understood.
"Goodluck Rose, I love you. Come back safe" she whispered. I gave her one last hug and made my way to Art's car.
"I'm ready" I said. I looked back at the academy as we drove away.
