A/N: Hey guys, enjoying the story or what. I love you all and please review and if you have any ideas or are offended etc. Please PM me.
The sun was starting to set when I got up. I opened my eyes and took in my surrounding. I was on the floor. I was confused but then yesterday's event came flooding back. The close encounter with Dimitri left me sleeping on the floor because I didn't trust myself.
I got up and stretched. Dimitri was still asleep. I changed quietly into my training clothes and grabbed a bottle of water and a piece of toast on the way outside to the field. It was still hot outside but, I could get in about three good hours of training before it was time for everyone to get up.
I started running around the field. I did forty laps before going into the Court gym and training. I sat on the floor and did some stretches.
I was about to start punching a punching bag when I heard the gym door open and then close. I was on high alert, not knowing who it was. I turned around from the bag and faced the door where the person would come in through.
I stood waiting when someone walked through the door. I was suspecting a Guardian or a Strigoi but what I wasn't ready for was Dimitri. He walked into view and stopped in his tracks. I relaxed my stance and started punching the bag in front of me. He placed his water bottle on the floor near the door he just walked in through.
I didn't know whether I should stay or if I should go with my head held high. I decided to stay. If I could sleep a night with him then I'm sure I can endure a training session with him. I started punching it harder when he started walking towards me.
"Want to train together." He said while grabbing a pair of punching gloves. Huh, maybe I can hurt him, but not in the way I was thinking last night. Instead of emotionally how about physically, I'm sure he can with stand a few angry punches from me.
I stopped punching the punching bag, turned and walked toward a padded section of the gym. I could hear his stride behind me. I threw the first punch once he was on the mat. It caught him off guard but he blocked it. I took a step back and noticed his face. There was a bruise forming on the left side of his. Oh, god what would people thinks of me and on top I'm training with him now. They'll think I gave it to him, well I sort of did by opening the door but as I said it was his fault for being there. It's not like I had x-ray vision and I looked through the door to see if anyone was in the way an even if I did I wouldn't. He shouldn't have been there period.
We started fighting I landed a few blows and so did he.
"How's your face?" I asked half way through our fight.
"Okay, considering you gave it to me." His voice was full of acid as he said it. I was shocked he said that. I started hitting a little harder. I was getting angry. I had to contain it; he didn't need to know that he knew how to push my buttons.
"Well, that's what you get for listening to other people's conversation." His expression was angry at first and then smoothed out as if trying to remember something.
"You didn't answer my question last night. What did you mean, you wouldn't sleep with me after I hurt you, after I made you suffer?" He asked in a confused tone but continued to fight. I didn't want to talk about it especially after he caused it.
"Just leave it alone." I said getting angry.
"No, answer the question and stop avoiding that's the second time you've done that." I was getting annoyed. I didn't want to talk I landed a punch on his ribs and he staggered backwards, caught off guard. I pushed him to the padded floor. I landed on him. I was straddling his body and I grabbed his shirt out of anger.
"Don't, Dimitri. Just don't. What I said last night was the truth. You did hurt me." My hold on his shirt tightened and I leaned closed to his face. "How dare you come back into my life and act like everything's okay. You waltz back in and just suspect me to let you back in. You tried to kiss me last night and then you have the nerve to listen to my conversation with Lissa. How dare you?" I didn't realise but my voice was getting louder. I realised I was looking at his lips. I looked up to his eyes, and he held my gaze. I just couldn't look away. "You got hurt on your own by making stupid choices. I didn't make you stand near the door, you made your choice." He could hear the double meaning in my words.
His eyes still held mine. His hands moved and I grabbed them and pinned them to the floor. The moment I touched them an electric pulse shot through. Damn you stupid freaking raging hormones. I yelled at myself. I wrapped my hands around his wrists. I knew I shouldn't but god I wanted to kiss him so badly last night and now I just have to. To prove whether I like him or not, right.
I leaned down a little, and searched his eyes to make sure this was okay. I stopped searching and my lips crashed down on his. His tongue demanded entrance to my mouth and I allowed it. Our tongues danced in a way they never have before. I let go of his wrists and one of my hands went to his hair and the other went on his chest. He snaked his hand up my back and into my hair and his other hand held on to my waist. In one swift moved, I went from being on top of him to being under him. He started to unbutton my top. I knew I shouldn't but god, he was just so tempting, with those smouldering eyes. We stopped kissing and looked into each other's eyes. I just remembered that I would meet Lissa soon. It had been more than three hours so that meant people were starting to wake up. My theory proved to be correct. I heard one of the doors open and our heads snapped up to the direction of the door. I realized our breathing was heavy. He jumped up and helped me up. I buttoned up my shirt.
"And that's how you render a person to the ground." He said right on queue when the person came through the door. It was a few guardians and some novices on a field trip. I grabbed my stuff and went to meet up with Lissa but first I had to have a shower. I went up to my room and jumped in the shower.
I was getting dressed in the bathroom, when I heard the bedroom door close.
I was wearing a pair of black skinny leg jeans and a red tank top. You gotta admit the colours work well together.
I walked out of the bathroom and saw Dimitri taking off his shirt. Oh god, did he do these things on purpose to piss me off. I guess were playing the same game.
I sat on my bed and put my boots on. Dimitri walked into the bathroom and turned the shower on. I walked out the door and went to Lissa's dorm next door.
