I was sitting on the floor thinking about ways to solve this thing when I heard a knock on the door. I knew it was Dimitri since he always comes to "visit" at this time. "I thought about this on my way here because I know that soon people will start wondering where you are… so instead of letting them make the assumption you ran away again…" I gave him a dirty look. "I think we should make up a story that you have mono or something. I bet you don't want people to know about this whole… thing."

"Yeah like a disease would stop them." I was down today. Again.

"Yeah I was thinking the same thing, but it can't hurt, right?" he asked for my permission hopefully.

"Guess not." I murmured. I know it's not fair for me to be like that to him, but it's not something I can control.

He sighed and came to sit beside me on the floor. "Hey. I told you I will find a solution. Don't forget, I'm always here for you. I need you to understand that."

"Yeah I know…" I said with a smile. "And if one day you will get your period, and you will have mood swings too, I'll be here for you too. And I'll make you start going on The Pill, and we can go shopping for baby stuff in case you get pregnant."

He started cracking up probably half of that laughter was a relief I didn't lose my sense of humor. And I probably never will.

"thanks." he said when he finished laughing.

"My pleasure, Comrade." I said in a seductive voice in his ear. I know it's out of no where, but I can feel what Lissa is doing through our bond with Christian again, and I need a distraction. Besides… we haven't done anything since that night.

So I got up and sat on his lap (still on the floor), straddling him, and said "I need a distraction."

He understood right away and groaned. Then he crushed his lips to mine, it has been a while since we made out like this. We soon had half of our clothes off, but we didn't even bother to go onto my bed. It was too far away.

Now, Dimitri was on top of me, my legs wrapped around his waist, one of his hands entwined itself with my hair, and the other was on my lower back, hugging me closer to him. It was obvious he had to hold back, and try not to kiss me too passionately, or touch me too much. I could feel all this passion and all of these emotions passing between us. Love, passion, desire, happiness.

He slowly let his tongue in, and we soon were fighting with our tongues. Of course his won and that made me to want him even more. I broke out kiss, and rolled us over. Now I was on top of him, and I started kissing his bare chest, his face, his arms. He was so perfect, so hot, it almost hurt. I kissed him all the way down his stomached. When I reached his pants, I undid the buttons, and looked up at him, to see him staring at me with so much love and passion in his eyes; I could tell I was the one he

wanted, and the only.

As soon as his pants were off, mine were too, and he rolled us over, so he was on top of me again. He kissed my collarbone, my arms, my bare stomached, and when he reached my underwear, he looked up at me as well, and saw the determination in my eyes. I was ready for this. He took that as a yes, and took my panties off with his teeth.

When we were both completely naked, we continued making out, not doing anything special. Yet. "Are you sure Roza?" he got to be kidding me! of course I'm sure! I've never been so sure about something my whole life! Literally. I know it's sad.

"yes. Yes, Dimitri. I need you in me. Now." I managed to say, and so he pleased my request.

After we were done, I didn't fall sleep for a change. We were wrapped around each other. My leg was in between his, my head on his chest, and my arms hugged him closer to me. He cupped my face, pecked my lips, and pulled away to take another look at me. "you are so beautiful Roza, it hurts." I chuckled for the first time in days, and said "I love you so much." He smiled at my words, but then started to pull away from our embrace. I pulled him closer to me in reaction, not wanting to let him go.

"I've got to go Roza. Unfortunately, some of us have an actual duty to do."

"hey! I've got duties!"

"oh really? Like what? Keeping me wanting you so badly every single day? You only need to breath and you are all set."

"no! even though that could be one… but I meant Lissa!"

"True… I'm sorry for accusing you for lack in duties."

"yeah, yeah. You are already forgiven and you know that."

He made that thoughtful expression again, even though I know he was being sarcastic and not actually thinking. "yeah. I do."

And so he left the room.

Great. Now what to do? I'm still too worked up from before to fall asleep. Maybe I should go to the gym. Yeah… gym is a good idea since I hadn't worked out in days now.

As soon as I put my comfy gym clothes on, I jogged to the gym. I could slowly feel the spirit's effects taking over me again, but I wont give in easily now.

Hitting the boxing sac seems to help to keep the effects away, so I kept hitting it harder and harder, getting some kicks and tricks Dimitri once taught me. I don't know how long I was already there for, but it didn't seem even close to curfew, so I kept practicing.

Then I heard somebody enter the gym, running and calling my name. I didn't know who it was but I didn't care. I was worked up and immediately got into my guardian mode. When the person was close enough, I started attacking. But he already knew my moves somehow, and blocked each one of them.

"Rose!" he yelled.

I looked at my enemy again, and found he wasn't my enemy at all. He was my lover. Dimitri. I just attacked the person I had sex with less than an hour ago. Awesome.

"Dimitri?" I asked, feeling really stupid.

"yes? Would you like to tell me why you are at the gym in your condition?" he yelled.

And so I yelled back. "In my condition? What am I dying or something, or have broken bones?"

He looked down at my hands and said "no, but you probably have broken bones now! Why didn't you even bother to put gloves on?!"

What the heck is he yelling at me for now? So I followed his gaze and gasped. As soon as I noticed my hands, I felt sharp pain like thousands of knives attacking both of them. They looked really bad. My hands were covered in blood and I saw something white popping out of my skin in a few places. Oh damn! These were my bones! I haven't even been here long enough to damage my hands this badly! Or have I…?

"What… what time is it?" I asked in a small voice.

"It's way past curfew." He answered in his 'mentor-role' voice.

"Shit…" I whispered. I've been here more than 4 hours.

He looked at my face and realized. "How long have you really been here rose?"

"Since you left…" I replied in my small voice, terrified of his reaction.

He sighed. "Oh Roza… come on, lets get you to the clinic, to get you cleaned up and taken care of."

After he got me cleaned up and all that stuff that took us forever, even though I didn't break anything as he assumed I did. He walked me to my room, and helped me to take a shower, get dressed, and tucked me in. I started falling asleep before he could even get me to my bed, probably from the strong pain killers.
