Chapter 25: Date Night
I was slowly waking up and becoming more aware of my surroundings. I could feel Dimitri behind me, my back to his chest. His arms were holding me tight and he was kissing the back of my neck.
"Morning Comrade" I said with a sleep laden voice.
"Morning Roza" Dimitri said much more cheerful than I was.
"What are you so happy about this morning?" I asked.
"I get to take my beautiful girlfriend out on a real date" he responded.
"Yes, I can't wait. What time is it?" I asked.
"About 9:30am" Dimitri responded.
I bolted up, as I was so used to getting up every morning to train with Dimitri.
"Relax Roza, it's Saturday, I think we all deserve to sleep late." Dimitri reassured. "How about we get dressed and see what's for breakfast and then how about we run the perimeter of the property. I have yet to see it." Dimitri pondered.
"That sounds good. Mom and I walked it the other day, it was pretty nice and well maintained" I said.
Dimitri and I got up and put on workout clothes and headed for the dining area. It was deserted, but since we were normally here earlier, I wasn't surprised. Once we both had food and were sitting, I asked "So, what's the plan for tonight? What time are we leaving?"
"I made arrangements for dinner at 7:30 pm, so we will leave here about 7:15 pm, it's not that far away. We have a table for two, so even though we have guardians with us, they will be in the distance" Dimitri said as he picked up and kissed my hand.
"Then after dinner, they have dancing. I can't wait to get you in my arms." Dimitri stated as I felt myself blush. "And then, later, maybe some loving?" Dimitri finished.
"Sounds like fun Comrade" I responded.
We finished breakfast and went out to the trail surrounding the perimeter of the compound. We started stretching and for the first time in a while, I felt normal. At the academy it was always just me and Dimitri, but for the past week someone was always with us.
We had completed one lap of the perimeter when we came to the same spot where I had seen something flickering in the woods. I stopped running and was trying to get a better view of it close to the fence.
Dimitri stopped and asked "What is it Roza?"
"Do you see that area where it looks like there is a light flickering?" I asked.
Dimitri looked where I was pointing "I don't see anything".
"It was here when Mom and I were walking along here the other day." I told him.
"Come on Roza, let's finish running in the gym. It's most likely nothing but I'll let security know, so they can check it out."
As we walked to the gym, Dimitri pulled out his phone and alerted security what I had seen and where I had seen it. We ran for another hour and then decided to call it quits. I couldn't explain it but I was feeling flat and I knew Dimitri could tell also because he kept glancing at me.
We got to the third floor and the aromas coming from the kitchen made my stomach growl so loud.
"It smells like Mama is cooking in the kitchen."
"Comrade, she shouldn't be cooking for us on the weekend. She should be able to relax too" I said.
"Roza, relax, this is her form of relaxing. Mama loves cooking, the more the merrier" Dimitri said. "Come on, let's take a quick shower and see what she's made today."
Dimitri quickly stripped himself of his clothes and turned the shower on. He turned towards me and asked "Roza, what's the matter?" as he realized still had my clothes on.
"I don't know Comrade; I just feel weird." I answered.
"Good weird or bad weird?" Dimitri asked as he slowly undressed me
"I'm not sure" I answered.
"Bond related?" he asked.
"Maybe, I don't feel the rage like I normally do, I just feel off" I responded.
Once Dimitri had finished taking my clothes off, he pulled me to his chest and I immediately started feeling better. He pulled me into the shower and in a loving manner, he started to wash me.
Dimitri put me under the spray to get my hair wet and then he started massaging my shampoo in. As I rinsed my hair out, Dimitri quickly washed himself. Once I got the shampoo out, I put conditioner in my hair while Dimitri rinsed himself off.
I was starting to realize that if Dimitri and I were touching I felt okay, but when he stopped, even though he was right in front of me, the uneasiness came back.
Once Dimitri was done washing himself, he started to gently wash me. Dimitri was figuring out as well, that I was feeling better with his touch.
"Why don't you check on Lissa, see if she is okay" Dimitri said.
I went into her head and she was having a fight with Christian about whether they should stay at Court or leave. Christian wanted to leave and Lissa wanted to stay. I got out of her head because I didn't want to hear anymore.
"Christian and Lissa are fighting about whether they should stay at Court" I informed Dimitri.
Dimitri turned off the water and helped me out of the shower. He wrapped me in a towel as he quickly toweled himself off and wrapped a towel around his waist. He started drying me in a loving way and I was relishing the closeness.
"Comrade" was all I could get out.
"I got you baby" Dimitri said as he scooped me up bridal style and placed me gently on the bed. He climbed on top of me and rested more weight on me than normally but it was just what I needed.
He started kissing me in a soft loving way. But as I started kissing him urgently, he returned the same passionate kiss. He started kissing my neck and worked his way down to my breasts as he unwrapped my towel. Dimitri was kissing my right breast as his hand went to my left breast. He then kissed his way to my left breast giving it the same attention. I was loving this connection with him and I was arching my back to be closer to him. His hand left my breast and slowly it went down my abs and then his fingers separated my lips while he said "So wet for me Roza".
"Please" I responded.
Dimitri pulled his towel off and nudged my legs apart so he could get his legs between mine. He held his weight on one arm as he grabbed his cock and rubbed it with my juices and then lined himself up. He slowly pushed himself inside of me and we both groaned at the feeling.
As usual, Dimitri was able to read my mood and knew what I needed. He set a very slow pace pulling almost the whole way out and then pushing back in while he was kissing my neck. This was true love making, I didn't care if I had an orgasm or not, I just needed to feel him in the most intimate way.
I could feel Dimitri speeding up, so I knew he was getting close to his own orgasm. But what I was not anticipating was my own orgasm. I was so concentrated on where we were joined that I was not concentrating on my body. I screamed Dimitri's name as my orgasm took over which then spurred Dimitri's orgasm as he yelled my name.
We stayed in that position, him still inside of me. Neither of us wanted to move and were relishing in the moment. After awhile in that position, Dimitri asked "How are you feeling Roza?"
"Better" I responded.
Dimitri pulled out of me and rolled off me and on to his back but he pulled me with him.
"Thanks Comrade, I love you" I said.
"I love you too Roza" he said.
Of course, my stomach had to ruin the moment by demanding food at that very instant.
Dimitri laughed and said "Come on, let's see what's for lunch".
We both got out of bed, Dimitri went to the closet and I went to the bathroom to clean up. Dimitri walked into the bedroom with just a pair of sweatpants on that hung low on his hips.
"See something you like Roza?" Dimitri smirked.
"Everything" I said as I stood on my tippy toes to kiss him.
He said "Roza, you better get dressed or I might take you right here." He handed me my leggings and a long-sleeved shirt of his.
"Hmmm" I pondered "That sounds like a good idea." But of course, my stomach voiced its displeasure.
"Come on Roza" Dimitri laughed. "How are you feeling?" he asked as he pulled a shirt over his head.
"More like myself. I still feel better when I am in contact with you, but the feelings are not as intense." I said. "I'm sorry, I feel like I was using you a little."
Dimitri grabbed my face with both of his hands and said "Roza, I am here for you however you need me."
"Thanks Comrade."
Dimitri and I walked out into the kitchen which smelled amazing. "You are just in time" Olena said.
We sat down at the table and Dimitri pulled my chair right next to him. I was almost sitting in his lap. Sonya watching our interaction said "Really Dimka, do we have to watch this at the dinner table?"
Dimitri looked at Sonya and said "It's a bond thing, Lissa is upset and it is affecting Rose. She feels better when she is near me. So yes, we have to sit this close."
That shut down that conversation, which I was happy about because I just didn't have the energy to explain right now. Dimitri started dishing foods that he thought I would like and we had a nice leisurely lunch with the Belikov family plus our guardians.
"Dimitri, I want to call Lissa and make sure she is okay" I said.
"Okay, come on, let's call from the study" Dimitri said.
Dimitri followed me into our room than the study. Dimitri started reading one of his books while I called Lissa.
It took her awhile to answer and when she did, she said "Hello" but it was evident in her voice that she had been crying.
"Lissa, what's going on, what happened?" I said.
"I think Christian breaking up with me, we had such a huge argument." Lissa cried.
And for the next hour Lissa explained in detail what had happened. I did my best to calm her down and told her not to jump to conclusions.
"Lissa, just give Christian some time and then let him explain his point of view" I told her.
"Thanks Rose, I will talk to you later and let you know how it goes" Lissa said.
"Ok Lissa, love you and tell fire crotch I love him too" I said laughing.
I hung up the phone and stood up and made my way over to Dimitri and sitting on his lap. I said "Sorry Comrade, I didn't expect it would take that long."
"Don't worry about it, I think you both needed to talk with each other." Dimitri responded.
When we walked out of the bedroom everyone was helping to clean up from lunch. Celeste, Yuri, Vika, Matt, Dimitri and I went to the living area to relaxed and to watch a movie. As soon as the movie finished, the guys started watching a football (soccer) game on the big flat screen tv.
Celeste ran downstairs and reappeared with a bag, some clothes and a pair of shoes. As Vika started pulling me towards my bedroom she said "Dimka, you have two minutes to pick out your outfit tonight before you are barred from your room."
"Um, okay Vika, were I am I going to take a shower?" Dimitri asked skeptically.
"You can shower in the office, but the bedroom and bathroom are off limits" Vika stated while sticking her tongue out at him.
Dimitri followed us to the bedroom, he went to the closet and picked out some clothes and then went to the bathroom to get his shower supplies. As he was leaving, I saw him give Vika a look which told me that this was planned from the beginning.
Celeste put her clothes on the bed and then her shower stuff in the bathroom. Vika flicked on the tv and found some music for us to listen to, thankfully she did not share her brother's taste in music. When Celeste emerged Vika said "Okay, let's figure out what you should wear."
All three of us went into the closet to look at what options I had for tonight. I had to admit to myself that I was nervous. Even though Dimitri and I had been through hell and back, it was truly the first time I was going out on a date.
Vika was like a tornado, pulling outfits out and throwing them at Celeste and I to put on the bed to narrow our selections.
Since it was cold outside, it's Russia in the middle of winter for god's sake, and that Dimitri wanted to dance, I knew I wanted to wear boots with a heel on it. Plus, my man is into country music, so I suspected that might be on the playlist tonight.
I grabbed my boots and brought them out, so that we could look to see what best goes with them. They were black boots with a chunky heel and came up to just below my knee. The three of us decided on a skirt that went to my knees and bellowed out when I turned. And we matched it with an off the shoulder black sweater.
Celeste went over to my underwear drawer and started rummaging through it looking for the perfect bra and panties. Vika grabbed the rest of the dresses that we had decided against and walked towards the closet and said "Eww, I do not want to see what lingerie you are wearing for my brother" as she ran into the closet to hide.
Celeste and I started laughing hysterically at Vika's antics. We picked out a black lacy thong that left nothing to the imagination and a matching strapless bra with see through lace. Vika called from the closet "Is it safe to come out yet?"
"Yes" Celeste and I said at the same time.
"Okay, Roza, go take your shower, shave whatever you need to just don't tell me about it." Vika said as Celeste and I were in tears by this point. Before I could make it to the bathroom, there was a knock on the door.
I went over to the door asking "Who's there?"
"It's Sasha, I have some snacks for you ladies"
I looked back at the girls questioning whether they had ordered anything and they both shrugged no. I opened the door and Sasha rolled in a trolley and explained "Good evening Rose, Vika and Celeste, the boys ordered a little spread for you as you get ready for tonight. There is champagne and some nibbles for you."
"Thank you, Sasha," I said as I looked over the spread.
"Miss Belikova, these are for you." Sasha said as she pulled what appeared to be eleven pink roses from under the trolley.
"Thank you, Sasha," I said as Vika accepted the flowers. To say that Vika was shocked was an understatement. For a whole minute she did not move or speak, I honestly don't think she took a breath.
"Vika" I said trying to bring her out of her shocked state "who are they from?"
She finally looked around and saw a note and she pulled it out and started reading it. I watched a blush slowly creep up her face.
"Vika" I all but screamed "what's going on, who are they from?"
"Guardian Logan, he asked me to join everyone tonight" She said with a big smile on her face. But just as soon as the smile formed her face dropped.
"What is it Vika?" I asked as I approached her.
"It's probably just a training thing" She said quickly trying to cover up the excitement that she was feeling.
Both Celeste and I went to Vika and I said "Vika, while I may be new to the outside dating world, I can assure you no man sends flowers to ask about a training assignment."
"Are you sure?" Vika asked.
Celeste and I nodded our heads enthusiastically and then that spark of excitement was back in Vika's eyes. Celeste popped open the champagne and filled glasses for everyone and then cheer each other for a fun night.
There was another knock on the door and I answered it and it was Karo with a bag.
"Vika, I hope you don't mind, but I went thru your stuff, a little birdie told me you might need a nice dress for tonight. I picked a few different selections, some shoes and your shower stuff and hair and makeup."
Vika had the biggest smile on her face as she hugged Karo and we quickly emptied the bag and looked at her selections. We decided to go with a full-length dress with a cardigan sweater and flat shoes. It was obvious Karo was trying to go for a pretty but subdued look, knowing full well that Dimitri would be watching closely. From our conversations at St Vlad's, I knew that Dimitri was the epitome of an overprotective brother.
I was shoved in the shower first, then Vika and then Celeste. Karo stayed around to help with hair and makeup and I felt a small pang because in the past this was what Lissa and I would do. But I was also happy to be spending time with Dimitri's family, especially since I knew how close Dimitri was with them.
Karo had started on styling my hair once I had dried it. "So, what were you all doing here so late last night?" Karo asked.
"Nothing, we all went to bed early" I responded.
"Vika" Karo said.
"Why what happened?" I asked looking back and forth between them.
"Vika came home at around 2 am last night and said it was about training" Karo said giving Vika a look that only older sister can do.
I looked at Vika and she was blushing and not meeting any of our eyes. "Sit down and spill." I demanded.
Vika sat in the chair as Karo did her hair and Celeste was doing her make-up. She shyly admitted that her and Guardian Logan sat on the couch and just talked for hours. She said she looked at the clock and realized how late it was. So, when she told Matt that she needed to go home before her family was worried.
Then she admitted that he walked her home. But that was it nothing else happened. When she finished telling her story, she had the biggest smile on her face.
Celeste did her own make-up and it was very subtle, not that she really needed it. She was beautiful with out any help. She was wearing black skinny jeans, with black boots and a V neck shirt and not that she had any flaws but it did accentuate her natural curves.
Vika and I finished getting dressed, now that our make-up and hair were done. I thought I heard the shower in the office but I wasn't sure because we were all gabbing and had music on.
Celeste refilled out glasses and then gave one to Karo as well. Just before we were to toast, there was a knock at the door. Celeste opened it up and Baba and Mom walked in.
"Hi Rosemarie, wow you three all look so lovely" Mom said.
"Yes, you three are beautiful. Rose, I hope you don't mind but we just wanted to come by and see you before you go on your first official date." Baba said.
"Thank you, Mom and Baba," I said.
Karo then directed us all to get together and she took a bunch of pictures.
Mom came over to me and hugged me and told me "Have a wonderful night Rosemarie."
Then Baba came over to me and he gave me a hug as well. When he stepped back, he said "You don't have to, but this used to be my mothers. It's a nazar, it helps ward of evil spirits."
"I love it" I said as my mom helped me put it on. It matched my outfit and it hung perfectly on me.
Mom and Baba said their goodbyes. Then, we all toasted with Karo. She said for us to have fun and that she was expecting to hear everything that happens. She gave us all hugs and we thanked her for her help and she left to go back to the house.
The three of us looked at each other and I had to admit that we looked good. Celeste looked excited to be going out, but then her and Yuri have been dating for a while, but it was nice for them to get out and have some fun.
Vika looked perfect but I could tell she was anxious about going on a date with Matt and nervous about Dimitri being there. I assured her that I would try to keep Dimitri busy so that she could relax and enjoy the evening.
I was ready and I hoped Dimitri liked my outfit and I really hoped he like what I was wearing underneath as well. The champagne was giving me a little liquid courage, so I was ready to see my man.
We all walked out and we found the guys in the kitchen drinking some beers and had some snacks as well. As soon as Dimitri saw me, Yuri and Matt looked in our direction and all three of them dropped their jaws.
I hope everyone is safe and sound out there.
