Chapter 10: Shopping Trip
I woke up to kisses all over my face, smiled and opened my eyes to see the best sight ever. Dimitri's chocolate brown eyes staring at me and a full smile that he shares only with me.
"You ready to go shopping" Dimitri asked me.
"I think so, but what do I tell Lissa and everyone about why I have these guardians with me" I asked.
"Alberta texted us earlier that your parents are coming along, so that will explain the extra guardians. And as for you, we are going to say that we are trialing a new guardian training technique. Also, your father said to pack a bag for the night". Dimitri said.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"I don't know he just said to pack a bag for the night."
"Okay" I said as I got up and put on my jeans and top and I gave Dimitri back his shirt. I went in to my bedroom to pick out an outfit. I decided on black skinny jeans, a dark red camisole with a black sweater that hugged my figure and my boots. I finished it off with my black leather jacket. I grabbed my back pack and put in an outfit for the next day and a pair of pjs, and I got my toiletries. I got my new phone and my new credit card and placed them in my cross body purse.
I walked into the living area and I heard an audible gasp from Dimitri.
"Roza, you are going to torture me all day in that outfit."
"You look pretty dam good too" I said as I took him in, he was in casual clothes dark jeans, his boots, a dark shirt that clung to him and his signature duster.
Dimitri walked up to me and gave me a kiss, when he pulled back he reached for my red camisole peeking out and he said "I really like this."
I took a deep breath trying to calm myself down. Dimitri grabbed my back pack and said "Are you ready to go?"
"Yep"
Celeste led us out of the dorm and there were two new guards at the door dressed in casual clothes, they introduced themselves Guardian Jefferson and Guardian Seigler. We walked to the front of the administration building, where there was a chartered bus and waiting for us was Lissa, Christian, Adrian and Tasha along with guardians for all of them. While Lissa's guardians were there to protect her, Tasha's guardians were there to protect us from her. As soon as Tasha saw Dimitri she launched herself at him.
"Dimka, I am so glad you are coming, you can help me shop and maybe we could go and have dinner together privately."
Dimitri put Tasha down and he took a step back from Tasha and said "I'm sorry Tasha, we are using today as a learning exercise, and so I will be unable to interact with you."
Lissa stepped up next to me to try to smooth over the situation, she asked "Rose, what's going on, what's with the chartered bus and all these guardians."
"Well remember when my mother called and said she was coming here. She came this morning and she brought my father with her. So I met him and he has his own guardian army."
Just then my parents walked up to us with Pavel at his side. "Lissa, Christian, Eddie, Adrian and Tasha, these are my parents Abe Mazur and Janine Hathaway and my father's guardian Pavel. Mom, Dad, Pavel, this is Princess Vaslisa Dragomir, Lord Christian Ozera, Novice Eddie Castile, Lord Adrian Ivashkov and Lady Tasha Ozera."
My father shook everyone's hand as they were introduced but he lingered with Tasha giving her a once over. He broke out of his trance and clapped his hands and said "alright everyone, let's get going."
We piled on the bus and Dimitri was behind me guiding me down the aisle towards the back of the bus. Christian and Lissa were sitting together and Eddie and Adrian were across from them. Tasha was sitting by herself desperately trying to get Dimitri's attention but he ignored her and we sat down near the back of the bus. I sat next to the window with Dimitri next to the aisle. I looked across and saw Yuri and Celeste sitting together.
"Yuri" I didn't know you were coming!"
"Yeah, I weaseled myself in." Yuri laughed. I look back to Dimitri giving him a big smile. He looks around and then he kisses me. He pulls back and asks me "Have set up your new phone."
"No, not yet. I'm not good at things like that." I replied.
I pulled my phone out and gave it to Dimitri and he fiddled with it and set up everything for me. He puts his number and Celeste's number and then all of my other friend's phone numbers. He sets up my email so I can check it.
"Wait" I said "How do you know the password to my email?"
"Well, it is sexy Russian god is it not?" He smirks at me.
I look at him and cannot stop the huge blush that takes over my whole entire face. No one has ever made me this embarrassed.
"I like that look on you" Dimitri stated.
"What look?" I can barely get out.
"Your blushing, I love it."
I start laughing "Only you can do this to me."
"I can't wait to make you blush more." He smirks at me.
He goes back to my phone and shows me the panic button. "We will get your Dad's and Pavel's number and we will set it so if you hit the panic button it will alert the three of us and make sure that you keep the location on. I don't plan on leaving your side but just in case." I nodded at him.
Lissa walks back to us and kneels backwards on the seat in front of us.
"So the guys want to go do their own things like video games and gadgets. It leaves you, me and Tasha to go shopping, will you be okay with that? I mean I know something is going on. Can we talk either later today or tomorrow?"
"Yes, we need to talk, so much has happened. As for shopping with Tasha, we can put up with her as long as she's not hanging off Dimitri."
Lissa said "I will talk to her. But this is great. We can get dresses for our last senior dance, our graduation dresses and you will need something for the promise ceremony. Plus, we can get you some new workout clothes and some casual clothes too. Oh and shoes!"
"Liss, are you going to be dressing me up like I am your doll or something?"
"Yup, pretty much and you are going to enjoy it" Lissa smiled as she left us.
I sighed and looked at Dimitri and he had a smirk on his face.
"What?" I asked him.
"Nothing" he said back but started blushing.
"It's not nothing, you're blushing." I replied curiously.
"I was just thinking a trip to Victoria Secrets might be fun." He said quietly.
"Comrade" I squealed as I now blushed but I really liked the idea.
We finally reached the mall and the guys went off to do their own things. Dimitri and I got Abe's phone number as well as Pavel's number. My parents went on their way with Pavel and some of the guardians. That left Lissa, Tasha, and me with Dimitri, Celeste and Yuri as guardians as well as the two guardians from my door following at a distance. A few of the guardians were staying on the bus or were on their own time at the mall, but nearby if needed since it was daytime.
The first store that we went into was more for Lissa and Tasha's slim body type with no curves and no breasts. I would not fit in anything here.
The second store was perfect for Celeste and me. We went crazy getting new workout gear. Lissa was helping Tasha pick out workout gear and keeping her away from Dimitri. I also snuck in some new workout gear for Dimitri as well and Celeste helped me with his sizes. We got to the register and I told the lady to ring it all up together. Celeste protested and I said "Please let me do this for you, you have been so kind to me and Dimitri. Plus I am taking my father at his word to buy whatever I want."
Celeste finally agreed and gave me a big hug. We walked out of the store and I had a big smile on my face and Dimitri said "Did you have fun?"
"Yup" I answered as Dimitri grabbed the bags from me ever the gentleman, so I was free to continue shopping.
The third store we went to was the place for our dresses. Lissa immediately found a dress for the senior dance, it was an emerald green and with her hair and skin complexion, she looked amazing. We then found a simple dress for graduation that was black with white flower designs, it was long but it hung on her body perfectly. Tasha was busy by herself looking at a rack of dresses that look like they belonged on a street corner. Lissa and I rolled our eyes at the same time and we both broke out laughing. I had missed her over the last few days and I appreciated that Dimitri, Celeste and Yuri were giving Lissa and I time together.
Lissa put together the perfect outfit for my promise ceremony. It was a flowing skirt that came just to my knees a camisole top in a pale blue that matched a color in the design of the skirt and a black cardigan sweater. It was perfect and with my hair up it would be easy to get my promise mark. Then, I found a dress I liked for graduation, it was similar to the one Lissa had found. It was long and black with a white design on it, and it was a little low cut but hugged my curves in all the right places.
We went back out of the dressing room to find a dress for the dance. We looked through just about every rack when I found it and it was a black dress that went to my knees. It had one shoulder with a tight bodice that flowed out from my hips with silver sparkles in the fabric. I took I into the dressing room but I couldn't get the zipper up all the way, so I stepped out of the fitting room expecting to find Lissa. But I found Dimitri who was staring at me with his mouth open. After a minute, he broke his dazed look and turned me around and slowly zipped up the rest of my dress. He looked around and then he guided me into the dressing room and closed the door. He pushed me up against the wall and started kissing me and his hands were roaming all over my body. My hands went straight for his hair and when I opened my mouth to moan his tongue slid into mine. One of his legs went between mine and I could feel his erection getting hard and lengthening against my hip.
Just then we heard Lissa ask how the dress looked. It was like a bucket of water was dumped on us and we separated and I told Lissa I would be out in a minute. I realized I needed to get redressed with Dimitri still in the small fitting room and the sexual tension between us was so thick. He turned me around and unzipped the dress all the way. He helped me step out of the dress which left me in just my panties because I had taken my bra off since it didn't go with the dress. I grabbed my bra and put it on and I put my hands behind my back to fasten my bra but Dimitri grabbed it from me and fastened it for me as he placed a kiss on the back of my neck. I put my jeans back on along with my shirt, sweater and boots. I grabbed the three outfits and I gave Dimitri a look. I opened the door, looked out and I saw no one, so we exited the dressing rooms silently hoping that no one would see us both come out together.
Lissa and Tasha were busy paying for their purchases and I separated from Dimitri to go to pay for my outfits. Once I was done I got a text from my father asking to meet at the food court in 20 minutes and I replied yes to him. Dimitri and I then took my bags, Lissa's bags and Tasha's bag back to the bus so we wouldn't have to carry them around. There were a few guardians on the bus, so Dimitri and I couldn't really do anything. As we were walking back towards the food court I was wondering how we were going to survive Victoria's Secret without tearing each other's clothes off.
We reached the food court and located our group, the boys were back and so were my parents with Lissa and Tasha. Dimitri went to get his healthy food as I hit up the fast food line and got two quarter pounder cheeseburgers, fries, onion rings and a large coke. I went and sat down next to Lissa when Dimitri sat down on my other side. He had two huge salads and waters. He grabbed one of my burgers and some fries and passed me one of the salads. I looked at him and he said "it's a compromise". Dimitri and his healthy eating.
My father came over to where we were eating and he asked "How is the shopping going?"
"Great, thank you so much, we have found our dresses."
"What more shopping did you have in mind?" he asked.
"Maybe just one or two more stores if that's okay?"
"Absolutely" Abe said "I just wanted to get an idea of when you were done. We are going to a hotel nearby to discuss somethings with you. The bus will drop us off first and then the rest of your friends and their guardians will go back to school. How does 3 pm sound?"
"Okay" I said as I looked nervously at Dimitri, but he gave me a reassuring look.
Dimitri and I finished up our lunch, Lissa and Tasha had finished earlier. The guys had taken off to do their own thing and I noticed my parents had disappeared as well.
Dimitri, Lissa, Tasha, Celeste, Yuri and I headed off to Victoria Secrets with a few more guardians discreetly following us. Once in the store, Tasha went straight for the bright flashy items and Lissa and I went for the more subdued bras and panties. I picked out cotton panties for every day comfort and then I picked out matching bras. I went for black, white and pink, my signature colors. I then looked at the more lacy bra and panties, I took a red one and a black one to try on. Lissa had her items and we both went into the dressing room. I tried on the cotton bras to make sure that they fit and they were comfortable. Then I tried on the red lacy bra as Lissa snuck into my dressing room to show me the lacy baby doll slip she tried on.
"Oh my god Rose, that color looks awesome on you. You definitely need to get it."
"Is that for Christian?" I said raising my eyebrows.
"Yes" Lissa was blushing.
"It looks great. Christian will love it."
Lissa went back to her dressing room when I heard a women's voice ask "Is there a Rose in here?"
I stuck my head out and said "yes".
"A young man asked that I give these to you."
She gave me three hangers with lingerie on them. One was the same baby doll slip that Lissa had picked up in black. The next was a pink with black polka dots satin pj shorts set. The third was a red corset and as I was trying it on as Lissa walked in.
"Oh my god Rose that looks awesome on you. Who is the 'man' that wanted you to try them on?"
I peeked outside and saw that the coast is clear. "Liss, you have to swear that won't say anything to anyone."
"I promise" she replied.
"It's Dimitri, we are in love. We have been fighting it for a while but the day that I was assaulted, he told me that he was in love with me."
"That's great I am so happy for you Rose, it makes sense, I should have seen it earlier. The way you two interact with each other I can't believe I didn't see it before. So, what is up with your father here?"
"So, I'll give you the short version, basically, my parents were together until I was three. But because of his business my mother and I were in danger, so my mom left with me and hid me at the academy when I turned four. My mom didn't visit often because they were afraid it would alert them to my hiding spot. But they tried to keep an eye on me as much as they could. But apparently there is now an immediate threat to me so he came here with his private guardians and Alberta assigned Dimitri and Celeste to protect me until he arrived.
"Wow" Lissa said with her mouth open very un-princess-like.
"Yeah"
Lissa was already dressed and ready with her purchases when she came into my dressing room. I took off the lingerie and put my clothes back on while we were talking. I gathered up the three items Dimitri sent and my other purchases and as we left the dressing room, I could swear I saw Tasha walking out. I thought 'shit' to myself. I would have to let Dimitri know that I told Lissa about us and that Tasha may have overheard. I went to the register and the sales lady rung me up. I took my bags and Lissa and Tasha followed. When we left the store Dimitri, Celeste and Zuri were waiting with their guardian masks on. I wondered if something was wrong, but I knew I wouldn't get it out of him until we were alone.
"Your father texted for us to meet at the bus, so there is enough time to go to the hotel and then get the rest of everyone back to school" Dimitri stated.
"Okay, I think we have done enough damage" I said trying to be snarky.
