I don't own VA.

Vampire Academy.

Dimitri and Rose.

Choices.

Since morning Dimitri seemed sort of dazed. I knew that something was going on in his mind. But he seemed to reluctant to ask. I had asked him, of course. His reply hadn't changed. It was always either it's fine or it's nothing.

I was getting worried as well as frustrated.

Finally, during lunch I had him cornered.

"Dimitri, just tell me. You know you can't hide things from me."

He sighed. "It's just, I have been thinking a lot about this. I have to ask."

I nodded in understanding.

"What if my answer had been different at the bridge?" he said tentatively.

I froze for a moment. This wasn't what I had thought. "I would have told you to awaken me." I said finally. "I had been thinking, you know. Even when we were at Galina's place, in that room. There was a part of me which wanted to be with you so bad. If Adrian hadn't checked on me then I would have said yes that day."

He started to say something but I stopped him.

"No, listen. Dimitri, All my life, I had never experienced anything like love. Sure, I had my friends but I never knew what it was like to have someone who cares for you, who would cherish you. I never knew what it was like to have a family. I didn't have a place that I could call home. At every step, I had been told that they come first. But with you, it changed. I realised that I didn't have a life of my own. I had been living my life for someone else, I had no problem with that. That was what I was taught. But you, you made me who I am today. I had someone with whom I wanted to share my life. I had someone who I knew would be there for me, no matter what. And then, the next moment, it was snatched away from me. When I am with you, I am home. I am happy. I didn't want that happiness to go away."

I could have went on and on. But he pressed his lips to mine. I lost myself in his touch. The slow, sweet kiss turned to something more as usual.

When he pulled away, the expression on his face left me even more breathless.

"I love you, Roza."

Sooo, sorry I hadn't updated in a while. There was some trouble with my phone and it was makin me difficult to type.

Anyway, thanks for reading and reviewing.

See you soon.
