Last time:
As we were in my car twenty minutes from my parents' home in Turkey, I blocked my mind off from Lissa. I wanted it to be a surprise. Since our bond has become two ways it is harder to surprise her. If I wanted to do something nice for her she finds out. Which in the end is really annoying.
When I reached the castle's gates, I was shocked that I didn't find any working staff their except for a fifty-year old guardian name; Micah.
"Good evening, Rose. Do you need to get in?" he asked.
"Please," I said generously. "I need to put the kids down for their nap."
The gate squeaked wide open. "Their you go, Miss Hathaway, and have a good day."
Now:
Rose stared at her father's castle with her twin children in her arms. Her daughter was in her left, while her son was on her right. Both eleven month old, stared at their mother with big eyes, as they started squirming around, wanting to get down. Tightening her grip on them, she moved a foot away from her car.
She was scared to go into the house. Looking in the bond she saw that everyone was in the living room discussing how Adrian can win her back. Rose was happy that they were showing some emotion over their problems.
Rose with her quick thinking wanted to surprise them. The front door was off limits as seeing it was heavily guarded by some of the queens guardians. That way would definitely ruin the surprise. She left her luggage in her car, everything except for her purse. A light turned off in her head as she thought of the perfect way to surprise them.
When she previously looked in the bond, she was able to find out all the places that were heavily guarded by Dhampirs. Except they forgot the door that leads the garage to the basement game room.
Rose made her way up to the living room, without getting caught by anyone. Luck was clearly on her side today. A smile graced her lips. This was going to be good. Everyone in the room was facing the opposite side of her. No one noticed her walking into the room. That also included Lissa, as seeing the bond works both ways; that she would have been able to locate where Rose is.
"So how can I get Rose back?" Adrian asked the group.
"Buy her a bunch of roses and sent them to her house," said Christian, shrugging his shoulders. Everyone that knew me on a personal level looked at him like he was crazy. Everyone knew that I hate receiving Rose objects. "That's what I would do for Lissa, if I pissed her off severally."
"Why don't you just go to her, surprise her with a romantic trip for two," Mia started to say. "Have a week or weekend for the two of you and reconnect on a personal level without discussing anything involving the twins."
Adrian put his hand through his short brown hair, "I don't think that will work."
Rose was surprised that they didn't find out that she was in the living room with them. Especially with the twins squirming in her arms.
Lissa looked like she was in deep thought. Her pale blond hair was in a nicely tied bun. Her jade green eyes landed on Adrian, "she always wanted to go on a tropical vacation."
"Why don't you just tell her," My mom told him. "She would surely understand if she loves you."
Rose had a smirk on her face, "Awe, mom, you had to ruin the surprise."
"Rose!" Several of my friends and family members yelled at the same time. Some of them ran over to where she was standing. Both of the twins grandmothers took them out of her arms just as she was in a tight hug by her best friends.
Her father gave her a hug, once her friends let her go. He kissed the top of her forehead, "Next time call when you suddenly take off like that, please."
"How did you get in?" her mother asked her.
"The garage, then through the game room," Rose said. "Someone should really be on guard there. Or at least put up a security camera. I was able to get in without anyone finding me before I revealed myself to use."
"Rose," Adrian said. She was able to tell that he was nervous. Likely from not having any time to adjust to her being up close to him. "Can I please talk to you in private?"
"Sure," she said. She really did miss him so much. He was the love of her life. Her true hearts desire. "Why don't we go up to my room. I really need to change."
"That's fine," he responded.
Rose and Adrian silently went to the third floor, where Rose's room was located. He sat down on her bed while she went into her walk-in closet. She grabbed a light pink fall dress, and matching flats. She left her closet, and into her bathroom.
She came out of her bathroom five minutes after she went in there. She sat next to Adrian. She was nervous, but he was too. Adrian turned towards his Rose. She would always be his. Not that he cared what anyone else thinks.
"Rose, I'm so sorry. I have been behaving like a spoiled child that doesn't get his way. I never meant to say any of those hateful words towards you. That was all because of spirits' darkness," he told her.
Rose looked into Adrian's emerald green eyes. She fell in love with his eyes. "Adrian," she started, trying to find what to say. "I know it was the spirits' darkness that made you say those things. I just need to get out of the house. Too many things happened recently, and I needed to be alone. I will give you just one more chance and I'm done."
"That's all I'm asking for, Rose," Adrian said.
