_Chapter 13_

"OMG," I screeched as we turned yet another corner, "If I take one more step I swear I'm gonna fall!"

"And to think you were the one training to be a guardian," Eddie commented rolling his eyes at me.

"Hey! You weren't the one that had to clean up a big mess!" I pointed out to him. My hands were still sore from trying to scrub off all that sticky honey.

"Now who's fault may that be," Dimitri said joining in on our conversation.

"Awww guys don't argue! We're almost there!" Lissa reassured us.

"We better be…" I mumbled to myself. Urgh this whole hiking thing was turning out to be a disaster! I really needed my share of goodness out of this.

"Here we are!" Lissa called out to us as we neared the end of the trail, "Isn't it pretty?"

"It's definitely not pretty," Mia commented, "It's too beautiful to be considered pretty!"

Lissa had taken us to the top of the mountain, when looking at the horizon it seemed as if the sky literally glittered and it looked even more beautiful since it was sunset time.

"And I also made sure to make Rose happy," she said grinning at me, "summer barbeque for dinner!"

"How did you ever manage to get a whole barbeque setup up here?" I asked her bewildered.

"Hey Morois have skill too!" she replied pretending to be offended.

Laughing, I bit into an oversized slice of watermelon. I screamed as watermelon juice dripped down my chin and all over my new white shirt.

"This watermelon abused me!" I said glaring at the slice in my hand.

"Uhh Rose, I think you're the one who abused the watermelon," Christian pointed out laughing as I turned to glare at him instead.

"Urgh logic again," I sighed giving in and biting into the juiciness again.

After dinner, I went to sit by the tree and stared at the ending sunset. Yup, bad and sociable Rose Hathaway needed her alone time too.

Apparently I didn't get too much of it because suddenly, Dimitri popped out from behind me.

"Hey Rose," he said scaring me so badly that I jumped, "can I sit with you?"

"Sure," I replied, "but let me first get my heart restarted, kay?"

Dimitri laughed and my heart melted once again. I shivered as a cool breeze passed over us.

"Are you cold Rose," Dimitri asked, "do you want my sweater?" He shot me a concerned look.

"Nope I'm good..." I started but Dimitri was already wrapping his thin hoodie around me.

We sat in silence for a while before I said, "Life sucks." I thought about both Dimitri and Adrian and sighed how much more complicated could this get.

"No it doesn't," he replied turning to look at me. The wind blew over us and my loose hair went flying all over the place. Dimitri caught a lock and tucked it behind my ear not letting his hand fall back down.

I heart fluttered yet again and I finally managed to argue back, "yes it does!"

"What else can you want?" Dimitri asked me shooting me a puzzled look.

I started at him through the corner of my eye and knew that you would understand without me saying anything. That's just the way he was, he always knew everything about me even though I didn't tell him.

"Oh," was all Dimitri said averting his eyes. He looked as if he agreed but was too stubborn to give in.

"What, no lecture on how I can't have that?" I teased him trying to lighten things up.

Dimitri sighed, "I can't really say no anymore now can I?" He smiled as a look of surprise crossed my face.

"Soooo….that's a yes?" I asked him shocked. Where did all his self control go, it like whooshed and vanished into the air! Not that I'm complaining…

"Well...not a yes-yes but not a no-no either," he answered.

"I have no clue what to say next," I replied still not recovering from my shock.

Dimitri chuckled and said, "you don't have to say anything Rose."

I leaned back into his shoulder and closed my eye, a few seconds later I felt his hand wrap around my shoulders and I smiled.

"I love you Comrade," I finally said tilting my head back to look into his eyes.

"Love you too Roza," he replied looking down at me, there was a smile on his face too.

I laced my fingers through his and we sat hand in hand watching as the sun finally disappeared behind the trees but leaving the colors of the sky behind.
