Chapter Five: Flight

"You gonna tell me where we're going yet?" I asked. We'd been in the air for three hours and I still hadn't gotten an answer out of him . . .

"I'll tell you when we're closer." he replied. Damn, he was stubborn!

"You know what Comrade? You frustrate me!" I told him.

"That's my job." he said. "Did Adrian contact you in a dream yet?" he asked cautiously.

"Yes he did, actually." I replied crisply.

"And?" he asked.

"I told him it was over. Everything is settled between us. Somewhat." I recalled the hurt in his face and voice.

"I'm sorry that you had to choose between us." Dimitri replied.

"It's okay. You will always be my first choice. I just love you too much and I think that no matter how many times you hurt me, I'll always take you back. You're just too damn hot and loving." At that moment, he did the most amazing thing. He wrapped me in his arms and kissed me.

When we broke apart for air, the only thing I could manage to say was "Wow."

"You took the word right out of my mouth." he said breathlessly.

"Any chance you'll tell me where in the world we're headed now?" I asked.

"Dear God you're persistent Roza." he commented. "I'll tell you for a price." he added.

"And what would that price be?" I asked.

"Kiss me again."

"I'll be happy to oblige." I said before kissing him. It was a spectacular kiss that left me with a speeding heart and slick palms. Electricity crackled in the air between us.

"Amazing." he breathed.

"You took the word right out of my mouth." I said, quoting him. He smiled at me. It was one of those rare, breathtaking full smiles.

"I suppose I'll have to tell you where we're going . . ." he said.

"I suppose you will." I replied.

"I wanted it to be a surprise but . . . we're going to Baia!" he said excitedly.

My face lit up. "We are?" I asked.

"Yes, Roza."

"That's great!" I exclaimed. Then I thought of something. "You have talked to your family since Lissa brought you back, right?" I asked.

"Umm . . . no."

"Dimitri Belikov! What do you expect to do when we get there?" I asked him angrily.

"I honestly don't know, Rose." he admitted. I thought about it for a bit. Then it came to me.

"Let me go in first. You'll wait around the corner and I'll call your name when you can come in."

"That's brilliant Roza!" he exclaimed.

"I love it when you call me Roza . . ." I said.

"I know you do. That's why I call you that." I snuggled closer to his chest and he held me tightly. He murmured to me in Russian, lulling me into sleep.

When I awoke later, Dimitri still had his arms wrapped around me and was smiling at me. Definitely the best way I've ever woken up. I yawned. My stomach let out a huge growl. Dimitri chuckled.

"I'm guessing you're hungry?" he asked.

"You guessed right. Where's the food up here?"

"I'll ask the stewardess to get us something." he called her over and asked her to retrieve some food for us. She returned later with two plates with sandwiches on them.

"Peanut Butter? Yum!" I said happily.

"I agree." We gobbled our sandwiches, content when we had enough to eat.

"How long until we're in Baia?" I asked.

"Oh two hours maybe." he replied.

"I'm going to go in Lissa's head and see what's happening at The Court."

"Okay." he said. He pecked me on the lips. "Don't be too long. I'll be lonely without you."

"Don't worry. I'm just gonna check and then get out." having said that, I slipped into Lissa's head.

Back at The Court, people were freaking out. Lissa was in the middle of being questioned about my whereabouts.

"I told you! I don't know where she is! Don't you think that if I knew, I'd say something? I'm worried sick about her!" Lissa screeched. Way to go Liss! Very convincing! I didn't know the person questioning her, but I didn't like him.

"If I find out that you're lying you are going to be in big trouble, Princess." The questioner replied.

"I wouldn't lie about Rose. In fact, I'm kind of angry she didn't include me!" she said. She's really handling herself well!

"Fine. I'll leave now." the questioner said.

"Goodbye." Lissa responded. If you're there Rose, please be careful she thought. I will. Don't worry. If only she could hear me . . . Rose? Did you say something? she thought. Can you hear me Liss? I thought. Oh my God Rose! I can hear you now! This is so amazing! she thought. That means the bond is two ways now! I was beyond excited! I slipped out of her head, knowing I could talk to her.

Hold on for a minute Liss. I'm gonna tell Dimitri. I thought. Okay! she thought.

"I'm back Dimitri."

"I was starting to get lonely."

"I have the most amazing news." I said.

"What is it Roza?"

"The bond works two ways now! Lissa can hear me like I can hear her!"

"REALLY? That's great Roza!"

"Anything you want me to tell Lissa?"

"Just tell her I said hello." Liss, I thought, Dimitri says hi. I waited a moment. Tell Dimitri I said hi and I'm happy for the two of you. she thought. Okay. Hold on again.

"She says hi and she's happy for us." I grinned.

"Tell her thanks." he said.

"Will do!" Dimitri says thanks! And how did you know? I thought. No I can get into your head too now. But anyways I'm going to meet up with Christian now. I'll talk to you later Rose. she thought. Ugh. Yeah okay it don't want to see or hear what you guys are gonna do. See ya Liss. I thought.

"How long until we land?" I asked him.

"Maybe an hour?" he replied. Wow I must've been in Lissa's head for longer than I thought.

"What can we do in an hour?" I asked.

"Well we could talk," he said, then added "or we can do this." he kissed me softly.

"Definitely the second one." and with that, we kissed again, longer and more hungrily than before. We broke away from eachother, both gasping for air.

"I love you Rosemarie Hathaway." he declared.

"I love you too Dimitri Belikov."

"Good, because I don't know what I'd do with myself if I didn't have you." he admitted.

"I don't know what I'd do either." after that, we just cuddled until it was time to put our seatbelts on to land.
