The Eyes of Heavenly Fire
Chapter 5
Dimitri
After the nurse cleaned up her cuts which took most of their science class up, they were sent back to class. They stood outside and he asked her a question that he already had an answer to.
"When's your birthday?"
"It's today actually."
"Happy birthday. Any big plans?"
Rose was about to say no when a flyer had came out of no where and smacked her straight in the face. Today just hadn't been her day.
She grabbed it from her face and read it with a small and mischevious smile on her face.
"Are you doing anything tonight?" she asked holding out the flyer.
Dimitri took it from her hands and read the piece.
"I'm sorry, but what is this rave business?"
"You're from Los Angeles and you've never been to a rave?"
"No."
"Okay Mr. I live under a rock, A rave by definition is this really huge party that plays electronic music and well let's just say there's nothing innocent about them. Are you in?"
Dimitri bit his lip. Keeping her safe would be harder than he thought.
"Sure. Is there anyone else joining us?"
"Just you and me." She smiled.
"What time do you think?"
"Well the flyer says at 7 so I guess you'll pick me up at 6."
"Sounds like a plan."
She smiled from ear to ear. What had he just gotten himself into?
Dimitri looked up at the night time sky as he waited patiently for Rose to come outside so they could go to a rave. He had researched them and they didn't seem very safe to him, but it was her birthday and she could dance her ass off if she wanted to.
When Rose came out, Dimitri sucked in a breath and noticed a tightening in his jeans that he hadn't experienced in a long time. He knew he was supposed to be an angel and all, but what rose was wearing didn't help matters in the least.
Rose wore a cropped black halter top that showed off most of her stomach. Dimitri couldn't believe that he had missed her pierced belly button earlier, but a red belly button piercing in the shape of a heart hung from her navel. If that hadn't been enough she only wore a pair of zig zag leggings as pants and then there was the shoes. The most important accessory for most woman. She wore a pair of high heeled boots that would turn any man on. No wonder he was having a hard time controlling his lower appendage.
Then there was her accessories. Hanging by her belly button was what a few of those rave sights called a belly chain that had a bunch of stars on it, She also wore cloves on her hands that had a bunch of holes and dangling silver hoop earrings with a rose necklace what hung perfectly by her breast. She also had slapped on a bunch of makep to make the cuts on her belly less visable along with a jacket to cover up the one on her arms. She had also caked on the glitter makeup on her face and boobs even though she didn't need it. She was the one who looked like an angel here.
Rose smiled at Dimitri.
"So when is your birthday?" she asked giving him a sly smile.
"It's November eighteenth, but you look amazing."
"Oh this little get up. My mother went to a ton of raves still does, so she knows a thing or two."
He smiled.
"Sorry if I'm stalling I just thought I'd get to know you a little better before we went to a rave together."
"Then ask away. We do have all night."
"Do you have any girls back in Los Angeles?"
"No. This might come as a shock but I've never really dated anyone. What about you? Any hot sexy boys throwing themselves at you."'
"No. This might come as a shock, but I come across as a bit of a loner."
Dimitri laughed even though he knew she was being serious.
He took her hand and lead her to his motorcycle.
"Sweet." She said touching the motorcycle.
"Have you ever rode one?" he asked taking in her look.
"I wish."
"Well I guess today is your lucky day."
They climbed on it and she looped her arms around him tight as they rode to the place that was holding the rave.
Rose jumped off the motorcycle and held out her hand smiling at him.
"Are you ready to party?"
Dimitri nodded as he took her hand. They went into the building and Dimitri was amazed at what he saw.
The place was ablazed with people dancing closely together and Dimitri noticed them wearing what some humans called glowsticks. Strobe lights were on and a few lasers were bouncing across the room. Not to mention there was an open bar for the older guest that had light up shot glasses. If only Dimitri hadn't had died when he was seventeen. He still had the young exterior to him and he could really use a drink. It was a good thing he had some beer at home that he had managed to compel for himself. He couldn't do it in front of Rose though that would make her suspicious and he didn't want to inform her of what he was quite yet.
A song came on and Rose's face lit up as she pulled him onto the dance floor. Shit. It had been so long since he had danced that he wasn't sure what humans did now a days.
"Ugh Rose."
"Yes Comrade?"
"What's the name of this song?"
"Ugh Talking Body by Tove Lo. Is there something wrong? Why aren't you dancing?"
"I can't dance." He said slightly embarrassed.
She grabbed onto his hands and placed them firmly on her hips.
"Then I'll teach you. Just let my hips do all the talking."
He did as instructed as he felt her hips move against his lower region. He surpassed a moan as he felt the buldge in his pants tighten. She smiled at him and dropped down to the floor twisting so she was grinding on him. He put his arms around her as she switched positions again as she twisted around him. He grabbed onto her and lifted her up as she latched her legs on his hips and bent backwards as the song came to an end.
They both exhaled as he let her down and they laughed.
"Wow. That was pretty intense. You're not that bad for a new guy." She said smiling.
They continued to dance all night and drank some after she charmed the bar tender a little bit. They clinked their shot glasses together and took a shot to toast to their night.
As they continued to dance, Dimitri got the hang of it and soon they were the talk of the dance floor. Everyone wanted to try with him, but Rose was the only person he danced with. He never knew if one of the fallen would try anything with her.
When she was too exhausted to dance a moment longer, Dimitri had asked her if she wanted to go home, but what she had replied had shocked him.
"Let's go back to your place I don't feel like going home just yet. I mean it's only 2 in the morning."
He nodded and hoisted her back up on the motorcycle as she wrapped her arms around his waist once more.
His new house was a quiet house in the downtown distract. He loved it there so far. He could get used to being human.
Dimitri felt Rose press closer to him. He inhaled her scent and smiled weakly. He loved the scent of her. She always smelled like lilies even though her name was Rose.
Once they got to his house, he helped her off the motorcycle and they hurried into the house to beat the heavy October rain that had just started to fall. The calendar on his wall marked October twenty third. It was only eight more days until Halloween.
"This is a nice place." She said taking it in.
Dimitri grabbed two beers out of the fridge and handed one over to her.
"Are you trying to corrupt me?" she said grabbing the beer and taking a sip.
"You just took me to a rave and I'm the one corrupting you."
"Touche."
He smiled as she headed towards the couch.
"I have more questions."
"And I have something to tell you."
It was the thing he had been dreading telling her all day.
"Okay." She said sitting down. "You first."
"This might sound strange to you, but Rose, I'm your guardian angel."
A laugh startled him and he noticed it was coming from her.
"Oh. That was a good one. That has got to be the best cheesy pick up line I've heard in my seventeen years of existence."
Before Dimitri could answer, she crossed the space between them and pressed her lips to his. His lips answered hers immediately and he smiled against her lips putting her body back on the couch. A touch of a glow formed on her skin and he jerked away. He had to convince her he was telling the truth somehow.
"I'm an angel Rose."
She laughed again and flipped them over so she'd be on top of him.
"Sure you are and I have a special gift for you for protecting me for all these years."
She smashed her lips to his and lightly trailed kisses on his neck. He had to stop her before they went too far.
"I can prove it."
"Fine. I'll bite. Prove it comrade."
Dimitri chanted the words that would reveal his true self to her. His skin glowed and his eyes turned back to the original color of the angels which was a violet color of sort. Her eyes widened in amazement and terror.
"Yo-yo-you-you're-bea- Beautiful." She said touching him.
"Now do you believe me?"
Rose scrambled off him and backed herself into a corner. He came across the room and kissed her once more. His emotions spilled into her and she gasped.
"Don't be afraid." He whispered.
"I have so many questions, but first prove you're mine."
"Your mom and dad drink almost everyday. You cut yourself because when one of them gets mad they hit you. You have no friends. And your worst enemy is Tasha."
"What's my favorite color?"
"Red."
"What my favorite movie?"
"All the Resident Evils."
"What's my favorite book?"
"That's a trick question. You hate reading."
Her eyes narrowed. "What's my favorite food?"
"Your snack food is flaming hot Cheetos and your favorite food is pepperoni pizza with a brownie. Oh and of course you also love hot fudge on your brownie when you're in a bad mood."
"That sounds really good right now." She whispered.
"I'll order the pizza and make the brownies, but you need to process all this information first. I haven't even told you half the information yet."
"If you're my guardian angel then why are you here?"
"You're in danger Rose."
"What? From who? Why did this happen?"
"A fallen angel marked you when you were five. Do you remember any of it?"
"I remember being really sick. I almost died, but some miracle happened and I got a lot better."
"You escaped the easy death, because the angels council intervened, but now you're fair game again. The council can't protect you any longer. Only I can."
"How?"
"I'm going to protect you. For the whole year that you are seventeen only which means you'll have to stay at my apartment or I'll guard yu at your house. And please no more wild raves, but I promise you, you will never be alone."
"Have you seen me naked before?"
Dimitri nodded and she threw a pillow at him.
"You are such a pervert."
"I always have to stay with you of course I've seen you naked."
"It's still weird and a little messed up."
"Let's switch the subject."
"Can you have kids with mortals?"
"I've heard of half angels, but I've never known any. They like to maintain normal human lives."
"Why? What's so good about being human?"
"Every angel is responsible for a human life. Some half angels don't want that responsibility."
"Were you ever human?"
"Every angel was a human once."
"You died young didn't you?"
"Yes. I can age if I want to and stop when I want to but I can never be normal again."
He took a seat next to her on the couch. She stared at him with those gorgeous brown eyes.
"Do you ever wish you were a human again?"
"All the time."
"What's stopping you? You're here now. You can be free."
"Being human isn't worth losing you."
Her eyes widened then understanding filled her features.
"My angel." She whispered.
"What?"
"You were the presence in my room. You've always been watching me."
He nodded.
"I want to stay here. Can I stay with you?"
"Of course." He answered.
"Do you love me?"
"I love the person you are Rose. Most guardian do."
"Show me."
She threw her emotions at him and he knew with full understanding what she wanted him to do.
"I can't Rose. I don't have the stuff and even if I did it without it. I would impregnate you instantly. I can sense you want to do it this way, but I can show you I love you in another way."
"How?"
"Follow me."
