Two

CPOV

Dimitri walked into the living room and threw himself down on the couch just as Rose had a few minutes earlier. Though we have gotten closer since he became my guardian, he was still quiet and reserved. I sat across from him in an armchair and leaned forward; ready to take notes from the man that Rose calls a sex-god when she thinks I'm not listening.

My palms were sweating; I could feel the cold clamminess of my hands. I wiped my palms on my jeans as I fingered the little black box in my pocket. Though I have planned out exactly what I want to say, I'm still nervous for her reaction. Dimitri stopped midsentence and stared at me.

I smiled sheepishly at him, "…What?"

"Christian, did you even hear a word I said?"

"Uh…yes?"

Dimitri shook his head at me and gave a long exasperated sigh, "So I take it you're nervous?"

"Yeah, you think?" I rolled my eyes at him and he stood up from the couch.

"I'm going to let you figure this out on your own." Dimitri said and left the room.

He left me thinking over my course of action throughout the next ten minutes that I had to wait for Lissa to get home from her breakfast with Rose. I found myself pacing the floor, unsure of where to go with this. My plan was simple enough; I just wasn't sure when to drop the bomb on her. I want this to be something she remembers, not just a simple gesture. I could hear the pounding of my heart echo through the room. A key turned in the lock of the door.

Lissa walked in, shutting the door behind her. She walked into the room and slipped her shoes off by the door. I stood up to meet her and surprised her by pulling her into a kiss. I wrapped my hands around her waist and I pulled her body close to mine. We moved over to the couch and she pushed me down so I was sitting. She climbed on top of me, straddling me and her hands trailed down my chest, reaching down to my pants. I could feel her breath as she trailed her lips down my neck. My own breathing hitched as she found the button on my pants and began to unhook it.

My zipper slid down and her hand slipped into my boxers, feeling my growing erection. I felt myself shiver as she moved her hand over me. I whispered her name, unable to control myself as her fangs grazed my neck. I could feel myself swelling and like a sigh, I ruined everything.

"Lissa, marry me?" It sounded like a sigh and I caught myself a few moments too late.

She sat up, surprised at the sudden outburst, "What?"

Great, now I did it. I ruined everything, my whole plan. Did Lissa hear what I said? What am I going to do now? Should I pretend I didn't say anything? Should I ask the question now? What if she doesn't think it's romantic? Should I act like I was joking? Will she be mad if I'm joking? What if she gets mad at me no matter what? All of the incoherent thoughts brought me back to Lissa staring at me, eyebrows raised, wondering what I had said.

I looked at her with a blank expression, "What are you talking about?"

Lissa looked at me, now impatient, "You just said, but wait you can't…" she trailed off and looked at me expectantly.

I took an intake of breath and prepared myself for what could possibly be the most important moment of my life. I shifted my body off of the couch, falling to one knee; I fumbled for the little black box in my jean pocket. Pulling it out slowly, my hands started to shake and my palms grew more sweaty and clammy. I held up the box, popping it open and looked up at her with loving eyes, a small, soft smile spreading across my face.

"Liss, I just want to spend the rest of my life with you, will you marry me?"

Lissa looked down at me and nodded her head silently, the joy radiating off of her face. She put her hand out for the ring and I slipped it on her finger. Standing up to embrace her, I took two steps when I felt an abnormal rush of air. My pants fell down around my ankles. Laughter bubbled out of her and she reached her arms out to embrace me anyway.


RPOV

The banging on my door snapped me out of a perfect dream that consisted of Dimitri, me, and a bottle of suntan lotion. I rolled out of bed, hitting my head on the nightstand as I climbed to my feet. Throwing on my robe, I glanced out through the peephole in the front door. Lissa was standing outside, bouncing slowly on the balls of her feet. I prepared myself for the tornado that was Lissa and opened the door a crack. She grinned at me and I pushed the door open further.

Lissa strode into the kitchen and propped herself up on one of our bar stools, taking a doughnut from the Dunkin Donut box that was ever present on the kitchen counter. I raised my eyebrows at her and grabbed a chocolate glazed one for myself. Lissa took a bite, "Pho Phrostioan aind eyi ree gretting marrid."

I just stared at her, "Really? How do you think I'd understand that?"

Lissa swallowed and set the doughnut on the table, abandoning all sorts of napkins. She laughed at me, "Christian and I are getting married!"

My jaw basically dropped to the floor as I hugged her. My heart grew for her and I was happy for her as she finally got her happy ending. Wanting to know all the details, I made her launch into a full tale of when happened and how he did it. When Lissa told me he proposed right after we had breakfast, I had to wonder what took her so long.

"So, why wait a whole day to tell me? I mean, no offence, but you aren't very good at keeping secrets." I raised my eyebrows at her in a suggestive way.

Lissa's face turned a bright red as she blushed. "Well, you know me and Christian were….doing some things and we kind of got distracted. We weren't doing anything, like, inappropriate or in any way wrong…" she trailed off and smiled at me sheepishly.

"Alright Liss, let me see that ring, then!" I grabbed her hand and looked at the modestly cut diamond on her finger. It was beautiful. Lissa stayed in the apartment for a while before leaving to meet up with Christian for lunch. After getting the full run down of what happened between them last night, I think I've had enough of their romance tales for a little while. As I shut the door after she left, I went back to my room and laid down on the bed. I rolled over to find a folded up piece of paper on Dimitri's side of the bed. I grabbed it, unfolded it, and began to read.

My Roza . . .
