I couldn't help it i had to post this. Read and review please.

"Rose?" he asked looking at me through sleepy eyes. Awe, was actually gorgeous in his sleepy stupor. Quit stalling rose. I thought to myself.

"What you aren't going to invite me in? My Ivashkov I though you would jump at the chance to get me in your room." I said unearthing one of my best man-eating smiles.

"Uh, huh" he said still holding on to the door. "Come in rose" he sounded pissed that I had woken him up.

I silently walk in and view the place. Since he was neither student nor teacher he made one of the quest rooms his home. It was fully equipped with a little kitchen a bathroom living room and 1 bed room. Almost like the cabin but this looked a little higher classed.

"What do you need rose" he said ushering me to the couch. I sat and waited until he joined me to talk.

"I told you I would come to you" I said.

"Well I would have thought you would have chosen a decent hour to talk rose." he was irritated and for some odd reason that turned me on more than his constant attempts to get in my pants.

A small smile grew on his face as he decided to scoot closer.

"I forgot about the damn auras" I said smiling with him.

"Well I am not offended or anything. Do I get to know what is turning you on." he asked.

"No, that wouldn't be fair, every other guy has to figure me out you are no different. Even if you can see auras." I said giving him that man eating smile again. Wow I am really smiling all over myself.

"I see and will you be giving me a chance to figure you out little dhampir." he said.

"And just like that Adrian is back" I said sarcastically. He looked confused. That was a first. "But yes you will if you want the chance there is just something we have to talk about first."

"And that would be?"

"Do you like me Adrian?" I asked staring him in the eyes.

"If you don't know I like you by now then you are definitely the one blinded."

"No Adrian, I know you want me which is totally different from liking me, trust me. I want you to tell me you like me." I said never breaking the stare.

"Yes rose Hathaway I like you." he said smiling. It was the most sincere smile that I have ever seen plastered on his face but it looked as if it belonged there.

"That's good, because I don't know what you heard about me but I would hate to disappoint you and tell you that I am not that easy." I said.

"Rose I never thought you where easy, and as for the rumors I didn't believe them because I see auras remember I know that they are lying." He said running his hand through my hair. "Well that is definitely one thing that turns you on."

I couldn't help it I blushed. "You're so subtle" I laughed.

"My specialty" he kissed my forehead and laid his head back on the couch.

"Listen about the drinking and smoking, if you need it then I wont stop you" I said. Realizing he was probably in pain and slowly going crazy.

"Rose if I have you to talk to then I don't need as much of it, but thanks for being concerned."

"Well I do care about you despite how I act towards you." I said and I knew it was the truth, I did care for him, and he had gotten under my skin like I had somehow managed to get under his.

"You care?" he asked sitting his head up.

"Yes, I don't just pass out I love you's if I don't mean them." I said. It might have been harsh but somehow he knew what I meant.

"Well I guess I have something else to work for." he said kissing my cheeks. "I know I haven't given you much reason to actually love me but things will change. I promise."

"I'm looking forward to that." I said snuggling myself into him and drifting off to sleep.

Thanks for reading.
