CHAPTER-3
There he was. Dimitri. Standing in front of me. Tall and gorgeous as ever. I could never seem to get over his godly looks. Tall, lean and muscular, those dark eyes looking at me with a knowing smile. His shoulder length hair was left free unlike the usual pony tail he wore. He was in his pyjamas. I couldn't help but grin back at him. My feelings for him came crashing down onto me. I realized he was saying something. "What?" I asked him. "I asked you, what made you come here this late?" he replied. "Why were you waiting here this late comrade?" I retorted. "There is absolutely no use arguing with you Roza. Let's say I knew you were going to come. You spoke to Lissa, right? You seem keyed up." He grinned.
Unable to control myself, I ran forward and hugged him. He automatically put his arm around me. My sensible mind told me it wasn't safe to hug him here, I decided to ignore the voice and enjoyed the hug. These moments were rare for us. I marveled at the warmth I felt around him, the happy emotions erupting inside me. Finally I pulled back, after a bit of hesitation. I looked at him in the eye and he looked right back. His warm, dark, intense eyes. I was awestruck. "Lissa said okay, right? Your expression tells me something happy has happened and nothing could be happier for you than this. Am I right Rose?" Dimitri asked. God, how did this man have the ability to guess my thoughts? He knew my soul, this uncanny way to understand what I was thinking. I flung my arm around him once again. I knew this was enough for him to understand. He did. "I'm glad things are okay Roza." He spoke into my ear. "Yes Dimitri, yes! I don't know how to express my happiness. I always thought I could have only one of you, never did I imagine that, both you and Lissa could belong to my life without any issues." I knew I was rambling. I was that happy!
Dimitri pulled back. He looked at me and said, "There are issues to be dealt with Rose. It is not going to be pleasant when people will come to know about us. There are people who are going to be unhappy about this. Your mother especially. Besides, we don't know what the headmistress will think. We must be ready to face all this, but there is time. Until your graduation, then you will be assigned to Lissa and me…to someone else." Oh Dimitri. There he was, being all practical and worried. I wanted to reassure him that everything would be fine. There would be no issues. I hesitated. There was some amount of truth in what he was saying. There would be issues that Dimitri and I would have to deal with. This wasn't going to be easy. He could potentially be fired from his job of being an instructor at the Academy. He had broken a very vital rule. He had gotten romantically involved with a student. That was me. Also, he still was Lissa's future guardian, according to the others. Until they found someone as exceptional as Dimitri for Lissa, they wouldn't agree for the withdrawal. After all she was last surviving Dragomir.
He saw me wagging an inner battle and gave me an encouraging smile. I couldn't help but smile back. He had this ability to calm me. On an attempt to change the topic, I asked him, "Did you see Tasha? She is here to see Christian." He seemed surprised. I felt this satisfaction about him not knowing about Tasha. I filled him in about her sudden visit. He visibly didn't react much. After a while he replied, "I will go see her tomorrow." I got irritated. I guess he saw through my irritation, he continued, "No Rose, I had to ask her about her progress in Moroi magic. She was researching on that and improvising the last time we met her. That's it. You can come along if you wish." I didn't respond. I nodded and decided to leave the place. "Okay Dimitri, its late. I will go to my dorm now. Good night, see you tomorrow at training." I said.
"Rose, please listen. You know me right. Don't get angry. Oh, Roza.." Dimitri called out. I just walked away, not willing to listen to anything. I knew I was being unreasonable, but this wasn't fair.
