Hey guys. I understand if you want to kill me, or torture me. Both are COMPLETELY acceptable! I've been away for far too long, and you all deserve so much better than that. You readers are what make this story, and all the stories that I write. You inspire me, and motivate me, and I want to thank you for that. It's just that life has been a bitch lately with school and work, so I haven't really had a lot of time to write. But starting now, I'm going to force myself to write, even if it's two o'clock in the morning, because I'm not going to stop what I love just because things get busy.
Rose: "Wait, so that really means that you're back?!"
Me: "Yeah, I'm going to update as much as possible!"
Rose: "Damn, I thought I got rid of you..."
Me: "Glad to know I've been missed. Wanna do the disclaimer?"
Rose: "No." Walks away.
Me "Well, it's great to be back. I don't own the movie 'Just Go With It', the movie which the story is based off, OR 'Vampire Academy."
Also, a HUGE thank you and shout out to VAlover21, who put this story and 'What If?' in her 'The best of VA fanfictions' community! I really appreciate it!
If you've read this author's note; then I love you.
Previously...
I narrowed my eyes at him, "Oh I'm not the one that should feel intimidated," I finished off my drink and stood up, patting down the skirt of my dress. I smirked at Aaron, before strutting off towards the stage. I looked back at Dimitri, who was following my hips with his eyes, to see him wink, which gave me all the confidence I need.
DPOV-
She strutted off, her eyes glowing, lighting up as I winked. God my emotions are going wild. She's the only woman that could ever create this sort of whirlwind of emotions, and that scares me.
Tasha.
Rose.
Tasha.
Rose.
My mind indicated to Tasha; the young, beautiful, kind woman that is everything I've ever wanted. However, my heart pushed me towards Rose; the stunning, gorgeous, loving, and gentle- yet fierce- woman that is everything I've ever needed. I needed her- my chest ached and stomach curled when I thought about her (which is far too often, especially as I'm in a committed relationship).
The lights dimmed, and the room erupted into cheers as the host guy confidently walked in to the middle of the stage.
"Tonight, we welcome some of the hottest and most talented women onto the stage, as we see them battle it out for first place!" A bit dramatic, I thought, but the rest of the room seemed to bask in the totally unnecessary spectacle.
I almost growled as Rose walked on to the stage, clad in only a cocoanut-bra and hula skirt. A man on my right let a loud wolf whistle, and the man next to him practically howled. I glared at the pair of them, definitely not liking the sultry look Rose gave them in return. Jealousy coursed through my veins like a disease, an emotion that was becoming far too common when it comes to Roza.
Following Rose onto the stage were about six other woman, ranging in size and age, including Mia.
Music began to play as my eyes glued themselves to my fake wife, swaying confidently to the slow beat. I smirked at Mia as she fumed in jealousy, obviously despising the attention Rose was getting- especially from all the males. Aaron was probably one of the only men that hadn't taken a second glance at Rose, and I had a strange (uncomfortable) feeling that it mightn't only be because he's happily married.
"How old do you reckon that guy is?" Aaron questioned, looking over his shoulder at me. Even if he was looking at me, he seemed mentally distracted.
My eyebrows twisted in confusion. "Who? The guy on stage?"
"Yeah, the entertainer! Around our age, you reckon?"
"I don't know, I haven't really thought about it…"
Aaron hummed in reply, turning his attention back to his wife.
I decided to ignore his strange behaviour, and also re-directed my attention back to the stage, watching as the crowd failed to cheer for another woman, this time a much older lady. Rose must have shared my sympathy for the poor elderly woman, giving her a hug as the host directed her off the stage. The woman hugged Rose back as the room 'awed'.
I grinned as Rose smiled, not giving a thought to the kind action she'd just performed. It was amazing how she never noticed the kindness that shone through her. It astonished me.
Women were slowly being eliminated by the crowd. One (rather large) woman in particular didn't take the disqualification very well, shoving the host and almost knocking him over.
"Tall guy's lucky to get away," Aaron mumbled. My eyes widened as I noticed his eyes trained on the man, and I shrunk in the chair to hide my own height.
The music started to pick up pace, and while Mia took it in her stride, Rose froze. Normally outgoing, this was odd for Rose. With an encouraging cheer from myself and the crowd however, she pulled herself together, hips swaying faster.
The two started battling it out with odd dance moves, Rose's being the strangest. She had the crowd in absolute hysterics when she started doing the Macarena. Rose and I both knew that she could dance, it's just that this wasn't her particular kind of music. She was more of a grinding kind of girl.
It was finally time to announce the winner. The host stood the two woman next to each other. First it was Mia's turn; he placed his hand on her shoulder and the crowd gave a pretty large cheer. Aaron looked incredibly smug.
Next the host put his hand on Rose's shoulder, and what do you know- she got a standing ovation. I stood up as well, cheering as loud as I could. Rose grinned one of the largest smiles I've ever seen, stepping forward and taking a cute little bow, which encouraged the cheering.
However, Mia wasn't too happy with the thought of losing, and so she did something I never thought she would.
She flashed us.
Black lingerie and all.
Of course, this had all the men going absolutely crazy; cheering and whistling, even banging on the table. I could see the annoyed expression on Rose's face, and practically heard her saying 'bunch of animals' to herself.
"We…we have a tie!" The MC said over the cheering, as the men started to calm down. Rose looked pleased, ready to hop down of the stage and just stuff her face full of food. Mia wouldn't have it though.
She ripped the microphone out of the man's hand, "What's the tie breaker?" She shouted, repeating it again for more effect.
The host took the microphone back, a little shocked but willing to go along. "Well, there is something. We weren't planning on doing it tonight, but I think it can be arranged." He looked to the small band behind him, and at someone off the stage for clarification. Turning back to us, he continued, "It's something I like to call cocoanut smooching, so if you ladies could bring your partners up onto stage here, we can get started."
My eyes locked with Rose's.
This is going to be interesting.
A/N: I know that this chapter is unacceptably short, but I just really wanted to get something up for you guys, and thought this was a good place to end. If you want to read a little bit more of my work, I've started a new short story called 'Marry Her Anyway'. It's just something to get me back in the swing of things, so I would appreciate if you could check it out!
And if you could take two seconds to just let me know what you thought of this chapter, that would be wonderful!
I hope you have an awesome day/night!
