Hey guys! Thanks for all the wonderful reviews you guys are the best! It made me so happy to see that so many people liked this so far! It was just a random idea I had so I typed it up. Anyways without further ado I give you what you have all been waiting for Dimitri to sing!
Disclaimer: I unfortunately do not own vampire academy or the song lyrics nor am I creative enough to do some cute disclaimer so all you get is this.
Dimitri'sPOV:
I looked up at the flashing neon sign that advertised karaoke on Wednesday nights and a feeling of dread settled into my stomach as I finally came to the terms with the idea that I was going to be singing in front of hundreds of people. I had had to get special permission from the school to take Rose out on a field trip with the excuse of getting some experience of what fighting is like in the real world. I was nervous because I could easily get fired for this but at the same time excited because my Rosa looked so thrilled to be here. As we walked in some of my fears were assuaged when I noticed that there were little more than 10 people at the bar. Rose attempted to head straight to the bar and I grabbed the back of her jacket before she could attempt anythingl. "You are not 21 Roza! I am not going to let you do anything illegal under my watch you know you cannot have alcohol!"
"Come on live a little comrade" she teased back at me with an adorable pout on her soft lips.
I looked down at her she had somewhat dressed up for tonight and her beautiful hair was down in soft waves and her hips were hugged by a sexy black dress that clung to her figure before flaring out just below the hips. I was having a hard time keeping my hands off of her. I chastised myself for having those thoughts about a minor as I heard a random announcer thanking someone for their song before scattered applause was heard throughout the place. Beside me Rose squealed before rushing up to the DJ to seal my doom.
"And up next singing 'Rose Rose I Love You' we have Dimitri! Please come up to the stage young man."
My face burned red as everyone turned to look at me and I heard what her song choice was before my Roza came up next to me and pushed me onto the small platform at the front of the bar. I was familiar with the song so it wasn't too bad but I was still nervous to be singing, I haven't sung in front of anyone except my family before in my life. Someone handed me a microphone as the opening chords began and at the back of the bar the words began to scroll across a large screen.
(AN if you want to skip the song lyrics like I know I myself would there is another announcement at the end of them!)
Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart.
What is your future, now we have to part?
Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away,
Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay.
Make way, oh, make way for my Eastern Rose.
Men crowd in dozens everywhere she goes.
In her rickshaw on the street or in a cabaret,
"Please make way for Rose, " you can hear them say.
All my life I shall remember,
Oriental music and you in my arms.
Perfumed flowers in your tresses,
Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms.
Rose, Rose I love you with your almond eyes.
Fragrant and slender 'neath tropical skies.
I must cross the seas again and never see you more.
Way back to my home on a distant shore.
(All my life I shall remember, )
(Oriental music and you in my arms.)
(Perfumed flowers in your tresses, )
(Lotus-scented breezes and swaying palms.)
Rose, Rose I leave you, my ship is in the bay.
Kiss me farewell now, there's nothin' to say.
East is East and West is West, our worlds are far apart.
I must leave you now but I leave my heart.
Rose, Rose I love you with an aching heart.
What is your future, now we have to part?
Standing on the jetty as the steamer moves away,
Flower of Malaya, I cannot stay.
(Rose, Rose I love you, I cannot stay.)
(AN I'm sorry guys I know I hate it when people find it necessary to write up all the lyrics but I wanted to put them in just in case you wanted to read them)
Everyone cheered and I saw my Roza in the back staring wide eyed at me. What I had I done was my singing terrible? Did I do something to offend her? Is she okay?Suddenly I was nervous to talk to her. What if my singing was horrible and she never wants to talk to me again. I shook the feeling off why should I care she's my student and I am her teacher I shouldn't care. Then why did I care? I got off the stage as Rose ran up to greet me.
"That was amazing comrade why didn't you tell me you could sing?! I don't know why you were so nervous you have a beautiful voice."
I felt my nerves calm down with her babbling praise. She had liked it! That was not what I had been expecting to hear. Suddenly I got a good idea hoping she would go along.
"Yeah well that's good because you're up next Roza! I've signed you up for a song. Let's see how you do!" She casually shrugged it off like it was nothing but I could tell that she was more than a little bit nervous. [ AN Whoever gives me the best review with ten words or more gets sneak peak to the next chapter and its a good one!]
How did you guys like it? Good? Bad? Leave a review it is the only thing that keeps me writing! If you don't know what to say just leave a smiley face :) I know it's really short and I'm sorry but I just wanted to get something out there for all the lovelies who reviewed!
Thanks again,
