Chapter 3: Oh no she didn't:

RPOV

Tasha's face became uglier then usual and she shoots me a malicious smile.

Then, she turns back to Dimitri and says:

"Come on. We both know who you love and it's not her. Come be happy with me. I can give you whatever you want and we could have a family."

He looks at her and nods. I hear peoples gasp. I look into his eyes and see that they're glazed over. She was using compulsion on him.

I glared at her and though fast. How do you break people out of compulsion? I looked pleadingly at Lissa. I mouthed the word compulsion and she sent:

"Break eye contact" trough the bond.

I shot her a grateful smile and spun Dimitri around to face me.

I crushed my lips to his. About a second later he responded to my touch and kissed me back fiercely. I entwined my fingers in his hair and he did the same to me. Then he brought us closer together and made escape impossible.

I loved him. Loved him so much it hurt. As he traced my bottom lip with his tongue someone cleared their throat.

We broke apart reluctantly and I glared at the tiny red head that was my mom.

She glared back and said

"Just because you guys have my permission to be together doesn't mean I have to see you together. Nobody should see you together."

She sounded amused and she was smiling so I guess she wasn't that mad.

I blushed and Dimitri chuckled. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

I looked at everyone and said:

"Well it's been nice seeing you all but I'm tired. I'm going to bed."

They all said goodnight. All except Tasha who said:

"No way. You're not getting away with stealing him from me. I'll bring this to the queen he will eventually be mine. ``

I thought for a way to counter it but only came up with an excuse or rather a plan.

Before I could think it thorough it or talk it over with Dimitri and the others my plan came out of my mouth.

`` No you're not I said you're not going to tell the queen. ``

He eyes widened in mock surprise.

``oh, `` she said. ``whos or what's going to stop me. You."

"Maybe, "I said. "How about I make you a deal."

She looked mildly interested and said:

"I'm listening."

I grinned lightly and said:

"How about we have a type of competition? We will both ask peoples at this ski lodge who they think is right and the side with the most votes wins."

"Now, what are we fighting for? `` She askes.

A smile playing at my lips I answer:

``one of the only things I fight for Dimitri." I smile at him in a I love you way then continue." So the person with the most votes at the end of three days wins. If we win, we can be together and you can't try anything. If you win he will be your guardian."

"That sounds fair." She answers after thinking for a little while.

Then Dimitri steps up and says:

"If we lose I will be your guardian. Nothing more I feel no feelings for you."

Tasha smirks and says:

"After about a year of no sort of activity," she made it sound like a dirty word and it was coming out of her mouth." You will resort to the last person possible. Me."

He glared at her and before he could say anything I said:

" oh you actually thought you could keep us apart."

Dimitri and I laughed. She glared and said :

" well if you guys don't see each other nothing can happen."

" but, we will see each other. Don't you see that we will do anything to be together. We will see each other even if he is your guardian. On vacations and stuff and Lissa dosent mind she told me he could spend his vacations with me."

Lissa nodded and said:

"I just want you to be happy. You to Dimitri I care about you both and if you're happy im happy."

" you cant control how we feel. I just proved that."

She glares and realization crosses her face. Then she says:

" fine, I just wont give him vacation time."

" fine don't give him vacation time but time apart will only make it a sweeter reunion when we see each other again. Face it we love each other and you can't stop that."

"if I don't give him vacation time how will you see each other."

" um well seeing as your nephew is my charges boyfriend they will visit and then me and Dimitri will see each other."

Dimitri wrappes his arms around my waist and says:

" I will always love her no matter how long we're apart. She's truly my soul mate."

At the last word, cheers erupted behind me I hadn't realized until now that during our verbale fight peoples were picking sides. Mine and Dimitri's side had over fifty peoples and Tasha's had only around ten.

We were going to win this I knew we would and for the first time in days I was feeling complet and happy. In the back of my mind though there were feeling I didn't want to feel or think about at the moment. The pain of losing Mason was still fresh and it hurt.

Ok once again I know its been forever since I updated and im sorry ive been so busy and sort of distracted.

Review and tell me if you think its going in the right direction.
