a/n: So I hope you all enjoyed the last chapter because it was really fun to write. I was mostly in a dark mood so that's where Katica got her (at least I tried) bitchiness. So this time I decided that I was going to write with music. So I decided to listen to Phantom of Opera, for no reason but its cool. SO SORRY IT TOOK SOOOOO LONG, I was dealing with writer's blocks and stuff..

I don't own anything the VA but Katica and Anton.

I hope you enjoy this. I hope to get a more reviews.

Chapter 7: DINNER WITH MAYBE SOME DESSERT

(ROSE'S POV)

I can't believe she got the queen to give us an eight room villa to include my friends. I'm so excited to see Lissa and the gang. As we were walking towards the villa, Dimitri and I kept hearing Katica laughing at Adrian. "They must have been really close?" I asked. "Must have, remember, he told us that on our trip here." He replied.

"Hey, Guardians, join us. You don't need to walk ten paces behind me, I think that custom is rude and cruel." Katica said. I quickly joined them while Dimitri lagged behind. I grabbed his arm to move him closer, but he said quietly, "Not here." I understood even though I was just making him move up to us, not showing affection. Katica laughing said, "Who cares what they think. Look at Adrian and I. But I can tell you what Anton is doing right now if it makes you feel better."

People kept turning around to make sure they were seeing what they saw, Katica Dragan. "I heard that child has no respect for our queen. I heard she kept yelling at her. If it was me, I would be in prison." One man said loudly for her to hear.

"Why should I. She doesn't have any respect for me." She said while looking at the royal. I was shocked at her in a good way. I mean she doesn't take shit from anyone and doesn't care what they think of her. She also keeps her head held high, I couldn't. She turned her head towards to me and smiled with a wink and mouthed "yes you can." I just shrugged my shoulders.

Dimitri got his key out to open the door, but before he could get to the door, Lissa ran out into my arms. "I am so happy to see you." She cried out to me. "We couldn't believe the news we heard about all the troubles you been through. I was so worried, even Katica and Anton locked themselves in her room because they were trying to figure out how we were gonna get you back safety. Com in, we already unpacked your things so you and I can sit it and talk."

"Lissa, I am not on vacation, nor am I a moroi. I am a dhampir who has a job to protect Katica at this moment." I said

"Rose, dear, I am not leaving for awhile. If I do, Guardian Belikov can hover over me like I am a felon. Hehehe." She laughed. Adrian just moved towards her to grab her by the waist, and said "Me too."

"SWEET!! Rose, Lissa gave me the night off too. We are going to the movie theater." Eddie came up behind me. "I am too tired to watch a movie, YYYAAAWWWNNN. I think I'll eat then come back and call it an early night" I said while looking at Dimitri from the corner of my eye. I saw him give me a quick wink. Katica whispered something in Adrian's ear. They both turned to me and laughed. For some reason I got red in the face and looked at Adrian. He just shrugged his shoulders at me and laughed harder.

Eddie said in a sad tone, "Too bad Rose, two of your favorite movies are playing as a double feature. 'Chronicles of Riddick' and 'XXX'."

"Rose, its Vin Diesel night! Sorry honey, he is so hot! Don't you think Rose?" Lissa asked with a huge smile on her face. I just shrugged because Demitri was there. "Anyhow, fine, come to dinner then." She asked.

"Fine, just dinner and then I am coming back and going to bed. I am going to need lots of rest for tomorrow." I stated, knowing I hopefully won't get much sleep. Dimitri was coughing trying to hide his laughing at me.

"Good, Mia is going to be so happy you are finally here. Oh yeah, she is coming to dinner." Christian said. Oh great, I know we are all suppose to be cool with her but what she said about me was unforgivable. Getting people to think I was a 'Blood Whore.' Katica eyes got so big that she was choking on the water she was drinking, I thought it was weird on how she looked. Did she hear what I was thinking. Naw.

She started to walk towards me with a serious look on her face, but Lissa grabbed my hand to pull me out of the villa stating, "I'm hungry. I need to feed first before we get something to eat, so you can tell me everything while I feed. K?" I just smiled at here.

I heard Dimitri call to Christian, "Where is Guardian Petrov? I need to talk her."

Christian replied, "I think she went to talk to Guardian Stanless."

"Good. Katica, would you mind if I go to the guardian station?"He formally asked like a good guardian. "Guardian Belikov, I will be perfectly fine with Adrian. But I think he needs to feed and so I will go with him to make you not worry about me." She said laughing like it's an inside joke." I just might have a taste of the feeders to."

"Good, all this makes me feel a lot better, plus Rose will be there to. Isn't that right Rose?" He said. I just nodded.

As the gang and I started to walk out, I heard Adrian calling out to us to wait for them. We stopped, I saw Eddie roll his eyes and say "All great, here comes Adrian. I bet he'll hit on you, Rose." I just punched him in the stomach and said, "Dude, it's not like that anymore. The road trip made him realize I wasn't destined for him." Adrian and Katica came up to us and he whispered in my ear, "Thank you for not saying anything." I just nodded.

At the feeding area, the receptionist stuck all three vampires next to each other so I wouldn't be able to tell Lissa what had happened during out road trip but I wouldn't say much either way. But now knowing that Katica was at the restaurant in Ohio and Adrian wasn't even shocked to see her there made me really surprised. Wait a tick, Anton was in the car. He was the one running. OMG, I need to tell Dimitri, I bet Adrian already knew this but didn't say a thing. "Rose, were you listening to me?" Lissa asked. "What? OH, I am sorry I was in a deep realization of some things." I said "What were you saying Lissa?" She looked at me and said, "That's alright. I said, 'I was ready to go'. Lets go eat." Adrian and Katica were waiting for us just outside the feeding room Lissa and I where at. "Would any of you mind if we tag along for dinner?" Katica asked. "It would be our pleasure to have you join us for dinner." Christian said sneaking up behind Lissa, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Oh, yes, please come with us!"Lisa said with a sincere smile. Eddie and I just nodded our heads because we knew we didn't have any say in this matter. Katica blushed at their thoughtfulness and said, "Thank you, myself and Adrian are honored that you would allow us to join you for dinner. This should be lots of fun. But then I must retire and get some rest for the long day ahead of me."

When we got to the restaurant, everyone there were staring at Katica. I went into guardian mode but she just waved me to relax. We got to the hostess stand and a guy looked up at us and said in shocked, "H..how m..many?" Katica with a smirk said, "Seven, please."

"It will be twenty minutes. Is that sufficient for you?" He asked concerned. "Yes, that would be just fine." Lissa said before Katica would reply, because she saw the hostess getting nervous. We walked to the waiting area, where they all sat. Eddie was by Lisssa and I was by Katica. Katica looked up at me with apoloyging eyes, because dhampires were suppose to stand while waiting for a seat. I just shrugged. But the worse thing that was happening, all eyes were on her. She looked back to each one in their eyes. They quickly turned back to what they were doing or they looked away. I wondered if she felt like an outcast, just like I usually do.

"Ms. Dragan, your table is ready." The hostess came up to us to show us to our table. "Thank you. Why don't you both go head of us." She said looking at Eddie and me. We looked at each other not knowing what to do. They should always go first, they come first. "No, I am serious. We are on the same level." She said while walking past some royals. "Plus, who cares what these sheep think or say. If so, I would have just stayed at the villa and never come out until I was need." She said speaking in normal tone for everyone to hear. So Eddie and I did what she wanted us to do. We were walking ahead of our charges. It did feel really weird but in a good way. We felt important for the first time at the royal court.

When we got to the table, we all sat down. Katica had her back against the wall. Adrian was sitting on her left while I was on her right. Then Lissa next to me, Christian next to Lissa, then Eddie and Mia. Our server came up to us, unaware how important. Not looking up, he said "What can I get you to drink." Katica raised her hand so we all knew she wanted to order something special, "Yes, we will have two bottles of Mesnil-sur-Oger plot, Krug Clos du Mesnil1996 {Mind you: This bottle only cost over $1,300.00 each.} We are celebrating an engagement." He finally looked up and dropped his jaw when he finally saw who was speaking. She was starting to get mad. "Yes, I am real. Now go and get what I have requested. And don't forget the glasses." He didn't look at her face anymore and said, "Your companions are a little young, don't you think?" Mia said, "Well I'm only 17, but everyone has graduated St. Vladimir." He looked at Mia, then Katica, "They are old enough to have a place in the royal court and to be guardians but unable to drink. Do you think that is right? Let me talk to your manager!" I tried to tell her not to worry about it but she just waved me off. Christian looked at me and I shrugged.

Lissa tried to interject by said, "Katica, don't worry about it. We don't need champagne. Christian and I are just happy to celebrate our engagement with close friends." She is so sweet, and that is one of the reasons I love her so much. She never wants to be a commotion. "Sweet cousin, she wants to do this as a loving gesture for you and Christian, let her." Adrian said. Lissa nodded in defeat, but I knew she was happy about it.

When the manager showed up, she looked at Katica and said, "Give her whatever she wants without anymore questions." And she proceeded to walk away. The server walked away in a rush and brought back the champagne and glasses. We had great food, great drinks, and wonderful conversation until she walked in with Anton. The Queen. Everyone in the restaurant stood except for Katica. Adrian even tried to pull her up, she just growled at him. The Queen motioned for everyone to take their seats while staring at Katica. They stopped at our table and Katica just busted out laughing, "So, how was your 'meeting' Anton?" he just smiled back at her and said, "We needed a dinner break, we're not done yet." Katica laughed harder , "I hope all points are getting meet."

"Very much. Thank you." And his smile got bigger. "I think Anton and I will be pulling an all nighter. So he will be back in the morning." Tatiana interjected. "Well, Anton needs to be ready to go at 12 to meeting in your conference room to decide how we will be handling the meeting." Katica stopped laughing and looked at the Queen dead in the eyes. Tatiana looked away first and Katica just smiled, "Well, I will see you both tomorrow. I hope you both won't be talking all night because you both will need your rest." Anton laughed and grabbed Tatiana by the waist while walking away.

The rest of the evening went extremely well. We got to know more about Katica, as she did about us. I sensed that Lissa was very happy that we were getting to know Katica. I felt sad because I knew she wouldn't be here after this meeting. She would go back home and forget about us. I looked over at her but her head was down and sadness in her eyes. Did she realize that too?

Katica picked up the bill and went to the hostess stand to tell them something. When we got outside, she told us that the Queen picked up our bill. I was laughing so hard that I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking, because I literally walked into something. I opened my eyes and looked up to see it was Dimitri. He had his arms around me and I turned bright red. Everyone just laughed at me. "Sorry comrade, I didn't see you there." I laughed in embarrassment. "Don't worry about it Rose. You can run into me anytime." He said with a smile on his face. "Are you two going to dinner?" I asked Dimitri and Alberta. "Actually, Dimitri was just walking me here. I….. have…..plans." Alberta said shyly. "Good for you. It's about time you get to hang out."Adrian said. "Oh, no. It's not kind of plans. Anton and the Queen need to talk to me." Alberta said. Katica and Adrian just smiled and said have fun. Dimitri told us, he will be home in about half an hour. That he had a few unfinished things to do. He smiled and Katica said, "See you soon." After that, the gang took off before making sure I still didn't change my mind. I still told them no. Lissa hugged me a few more times. Christian gave me a head nod, which meant laters. And Eddie stood there pleading me with his eyes.

A/N: I hoped you enjoyed it.. let me know what you all though.. you know what to do.
