RPOV
Lissa. The best friend I have ever had. I met Lissa in Kindergarten when we were paired together and had to spell each other's names. Spelling Rosemarie Hathaway and Vasilisa Dragomir was a real bitch for two 5 years old. Me with my wonderful temper (note the sarcasm) threw a textbook at the teacher. We were inseparable after that. However, when I moved to L.A. I didn't keep in contact much and we drifted apart. Well more specifically, I drifted apart. It is something I have felt guilty for every day. I knew she would welcome me back with open arms if I called her up and wanted to talk or fly her out to visit, but I felt too awful to drag her back into my life and risk losing contact again.
Lissa squeals the entire time as she runs over to me. She throws her arms around me and hugs me as tight as she can. I have missed her so much and it wasn't until this moment that I realized just how much. When we are hugging, it feels like a huge watermelon is in the way. That's when I notice her belly. "Holy shit Lissa you're pregnant?!"
She wipes the happy tears from her eyes and starts laughing. "Yep! One month left before I pop!" she says excitedly.
"Wow! Who's the lucky guy?"
"Who do you think?" she laughs as a guy with shaggy black hair and icy blue eyes comes up and places a hand on the small of her back. He looks at me smiling.
"Long time no see Hathaway," he says with that smirk he would give me every time we would bicker and fight during high school.
"Christian Ozera! Well I just can't believe it! Who knew you were man enough to get Lissa pregnant," I joke as I step up and hug him.
He laughs and hugs me back. "I did more than that Rose. I married her too," he says as he grabs Lissa's left hand and shows me her ring.
My mouth drops open. I can't believe it. Lissa got married. I try to hide my sadness and disappointment. What kind of friend am I? I missed my best friend's wedding! Sure I didn't know it was going on, but I still should have been there. I hug Lissa again. "I am so happy for you Liss, and I am so sorry I haven't been in touch."
"I'm so sorry Rose. I should have tried to contact you and invite you to the wedding. I would have to but I didn't have your number and I couldn't find your real address. I sent an invitation but it probably got mixed in with your fan mail," she says as she looks down in guilt.
"Oh Liss it's not your fault. I should have contacted you. I can't believe it has been so long! I mean you are married and pregnant! How did I miss that?!"
"And you became a world famous superstar! A lot has happened since high school," she laughs and states matter-of-factly. "I can't believe you are here though! Don't you have a tour or something going on right now? Why come back for your boring high school reunion?"
"I do but I have a month break and my publicist said it would be good for me to get away from the public eye for a while. When I saw the invitation I thought it presented a good opportunity," I say. The whole time, in the corner of my eye, I can see Dimitri watching and listening intently. That's Dimitri for you. He's there but he's just a quiet observer, the opposite of me. I always have to put my two cents in. He can just stand there all stoic and sexy and…what? Whoa. Don't know where that came from. He just makes me so…so…I don't know. My mind always goes right to the gutter when I'm near him.
"Well I'm so glad you're here! How long are you staying? Where are you staying? We should go shopping! If you stay till next weekend you can come to my baby shower! Oh my parents have missed you!" she starts rambling.
"Whoa there Lissa, slow your roll," I laugh. "I haven't figured out how long I am staying. I'm staying at a hotel and I would love to go to your baby shower. I just have to call my manager and my publicist and make sure my schedule is clear to stay the rest of the week," I said trying to answer all of her questions. I can feel Dimitri stiffen a little when I say I'm staying for the rest of the week. From fear, nervousness, or excitement, I can't tell. Lissa squeals, again and pulls me into a bear hug. Jeez, for a pregnant lady, she is really strong. Seeing Lissa has made this entire reunion worth it.
DPOV
I can't believe it. Rose is staying for an entire week. I feel a range of emotions from this news. Rose is the love of my life. I have loved her since the first moment we bumped into each other in the hallway. I have loved her since the first touch of our hands when I felt the electricity and spark between us. I let my Roza go once and I don't plan on doing it again. I have one week to come up with a plan to get her back, or at least get her to stay longer. That can't be so hard can it? I just have to figure out how to make her forgive me first. I don't know why she is angry with me or if she still loves me as much as I love her, but I intend to find out. We aren't just high school sweethearts, we are soul mates and I want, no, I need to have her for the rest of my life.
So I know it is kind of slow going. I am working on building it up but the chapters are pretty short so far and I just kind of wanted to set the stage and get the important information out of the way. Please review I love advice and constructive criticism! I'm not sure where I am going with this story yet so if you have any ideas PM me and I will consider them! :)
