When I finally regained consciousness, I could feel a slight pressure on my hand and I instantly knew that it was Dimitri because I would know that scent anywhere. But that combined with the smell of disinfectant, I also knew that I was in the infirmary. He was here with me, but I couldn't remember how I got here or why he was here, last I remembered he left me for that scar faced bitch Tasha.
Then just thinking her name seemed to revive my memory. I remembered the phone call I got from her that completely shattered my life. I then remembered that I ran out onto the pond and fell through the ice after I thought I had seen Dimitri, but then he saved me. I vaguely remember him pulling me out of the water, then my memory got a little blurry but then I remember coughing up water and being pulled up against someone's strong chest. But not just anyone's, Dimitri's.
He really did care for me, he really does love me. And with that thought I knew that I had to wake up and see his face again, and hold him, and kiss him, and tell him how much I love and missed him. I struggled to open my eyes because of the bright lights and I felt my eyes flutter. I knew that Dimitri must have seen it because I then heard the most wonderful sound in the world. I heard him speak with his deep, melodic, Russian-laced voice, and as he spoke, I could hear his voice drown in emotion.
"Roza? Come on Roza, open your eyes. I need to see your eyes, please wake up. I love you so much; I can't live without you, please come back to me, and wake up." I could hear the pain, sadness, worry, and love in his voice as he kept squeezing my hand.And with that I used all the strength in my body and opened my eyes.
At first it was a little blurry but then I saw two chocolate brown eyes starry at me and I felt all the love and heartache I've kept hidden these past few weeks rise to the surface as I looked into his eyes.
"Roza I am so, so, so sorry for leaving you. I thought I did it to protect you and-" I then cut him off by putting my finger over his mouth.
"Dimitri I heard what you said, I can't believe you came back for me I never thought I'd see you again, I love you so much." I suddenly couldn't keep it in any more as I felt tears in my eyes and did nothing to keep them from falling. I finally had my love back.
He then started stroking my cheek and he used his thumb to wipe away my tears and loved the feel of him touching me and then I reached up and grabbed the hand on my cheek and brought his palm to my lips and kissed it ever so gently sending a shudder through his body. I loved how even after these last few weeks I can still make him feel this way. Then after a few moments of silence he broke it.
"Roza I need to know why you ran out onto that pond, I know that you tried to kill yourself and I need to know why. I thought I lost you and if you died and most definitely would die right along with you. Please tell me." As he said that everything started rushing back to me, the phone call from Tasha, what she said, how it made me feel, and as I was thinking about this I saw the look in Dimitri's eyes and saw all the love and care for me in the world and I knew I had to tell him.
"Tasha….." and as soon as I got that out who should appear but the bitch herself. The very person who stole Dimitri from me. Next to me I felt Dimitri tense.
"Tasha, what are you doing here?" He said with clear distaste in his voice.
"I just came to visit my nephew and I heard about what happened to Rose and I wanted to make sure she was alright so I came straight here." I could clearly tell that she was lying and so must Dimitri because I could see him standing firmly in between us as if protecting me from her. But right I think she's the one that's going to need protecting.
After a few more moments of no one moving or saying a word Dimitriturned his attention back to me and repeated the question he had asked before Tasha interrupted. But before I answered him I spared a look at Tasha and as I met her eyes, I felt something come over me.
I couldn't remember why I tried to kill myself, all I remember is getting a phone call from someone and them making me very upset, but I couldn't remember what was said. I'm so confused, and then I looked up into Dimitri's eyes and told him what I knew. He looked slightly disappointed that I couldn't tell him more, and then he asked…
"Do you remember who called you?" He asked showing a bit of anger in his voice. I tried to remember but when I did it was like the answer was written right in front of me but it was fuzzy and blurry.
"No, I don't, sorry." I then went back to trying to remember who called me. Then the silence was broken when Lissa, Christian, and Adrian all burst through the door.
Lissa immediately rushed to my side and gave me a rather painful hug. Once she released me from her death grip she began interrogating me by asking the same question Dimitri just did and I gave her the same answer. While I was talking to Lissa I caught a glimpse of Adrian giving Dimitri a death glare. I'll have to talk to him later.
Then I heard Christian greet his Aunt Tasha. I completely forgot she was even here, I wonder why she's here. Probably here to steal Dimitri again, the nerve of that little bitch.
Lissa then greeted her with a nod rather wearily probably because of how I told her that she was the reason I've been so miserable these past few weeks, or at least partially responsible. But then I noticed her look at Tasha rather quizzically and share a brief eye to eye contact with Adrian which made me think that it wasn't good so I tried to sit up to ask them about it. But like I said, I tried.
Dimitri was gently pushing me back down and from the look of worry etched on his face I knew that he was worried about me injuring myself further so I didn't argue. Not that I minded, I loved how much he cared for me and how he was making no effort to hide his feelings. I loved the new Dimitri.
I could fell Lissa's emotions as she was watching Dimitri and I and then I heard her think, I can't believe I never noticed them before. Now I just feel stupid.
When I heard that I just had to laugh because it was so like Lissa to think that. When I looked at her I saw realization light up her face when she realized I heard her through the bound. But as I was laughing I felt a sharp pain pierce my lungs and I involuntarily flinch which Lissa quickly caught. But before I could stop her from healing me she grabbed my arm and I suddenly felt the all too familiar hot, cold felling of Spirit.
Once she was done I did feel a lot better. But I hate it when she heals me because I don't deserve to be. She thinks that just because she's off the meds that she's all fine and dandy but I know that if she keeps doing it the depression will come back and that is something that I definitely don't want to happen again. And just as I was about to tell her that the doctor came through the door.
"Rose how are you feeling?" Asked Dr. Olendski.
"Really good, thank you." I answered while giving Lissa a pointed look making sure that she sees that I'm not happy about the fact.
"Can I go Doctor, I really do feel fine and you know how much I hate it here."
"Very well then Rose, you can go but I am putting you on strict bed rest for one full week and to ensure that you stay there someone's going to need to stay with you." I knew Liss would love to be that person but she had classes so she couldn't. Then I thought how nice it would be if Dimitri were the one to look after me. But that's impossible, they'd never allow it. Which is why what Lissa said next completely shocked me.
"Guardian Belikov could do it, I'm sure Guardian Petrov wouldn't mind giving him time off and he is her mentor." After she said that I looked at her with a very thankful expression because I really wanted the alone time together.
Then I noticed the look of utter defeat on Adrian's face, clearly wishing it were him who would be looking after me for the week, I feel completely awful for him feeling this way because I know how much he cares for me, but he has to realize that I don't feel the same way and that we can only be friends. I'll really have to talk to him later if I can.
"Okay then, Guardian Belikov you are to ensure Rose gets plenty of rest and refrains from all physical activity for the rest of the week, it that understood?"
"Perfectly clear," he says to the doctor then turns to me, "I won't let her out of my sight." When he said that I could feel my cheeks heat up with the thought of being completely alone with him for one whole week. This could be the best bed rest in history.
"Very good, then with that handled, you can leave when you're ready to Rose." With that said the doctor left followed by Tasha.
Once they were gone I got off of the bed and headed to the bathroom to change into my clothes.
Once I changed, I came back out and noticed that Adrian had left; I'll have to find a way to talk to him tomorrow, unless he visits me tonight like he's been doing these past few weeks.
When I was ready, Dimitri, Lissa, Christian, and I all headed outside and back to our rooms. Once we all got outside the cold night wind hit my skin and I started shivering because I didn't have a jacket. I tried to hide it to prevent everyone form worrying about me further but Dimitri seemed to notice.
"Roza, you must be freezing, here take my jacket."
"But won't you be cold?" I said as he placed his jacket around my shoulders.
"You're all I care about; I could care less if I'm cold."
Ahhhh, how cute is that?, I heard Liss send me through the bond. I couldn't help but think the exact same thing as I slightly blushed and smiled while biting my bottom lip.
"Thanks" I said and then he put his arm around me.
We all continued to walk to our rooms in silence and then we came to the quad where we would have to separate splitting off into the moroi and dhampir dorms.
"Bye Rose, get some rest" Amongst other things, I heard Liss send through the bond with a wink.
"I will Lissa, love ya, bye"
"Love ya too"
"Bye Sparky" I said to Christian.
"Bye Rose, get some rest and take it easy" He said, I love how protective he is of me. Ever since Spokane, he's been like a brother to me and I really appreciate it.
"I will Christian, thanks"
"Guardian Belikov" Christian nodded to Dimitri. I could sense he felt slightly awkward around Dimitri. I couldn't figure out why and then I realized it was because he didn't know about us. Liss must not have told him, which I was happy about because it meant that she kept her promise to me that she wouldn't tell anyone. I could feel through the bond that Liss was going to talk to him about it so I didn't bother explaining it.
"Goodnight Guardian Belikov, take care of her, and remember what we discussed earlier." Lissa said to which I gave her a very confused look but Dimitri seemed to clearly understand.
"I will Princess…"
"Lissa please"
"Right, Lissa, goodnight and goodnight Christian" Once that was said Dimitri and I turned to head the Female Novice dorms, we still had a lot to work out but I finally have my Dimitri back and I'm never letting him go again.
Have fun Rose, try and behave tonight, Liss sent through the bond. I didn't answer her but I did giggle which let her know that I heard her.
"What was all that between Guardian Belikov and Rose?" I faintly heard Christian ask.
"I'll tell you but not hear, wait until we get to my room." Lissa replied.
Once they were out of ear shot I turned my head to look at Dimitri while we were walking and I noticed that he was staring at me.
"So Comrade, you going to tell me what Lissa was talking about?"
"Nothing you need to worry about. She just wanted to inform me off what would happen if I hurt you again."
"What did she say to you?" I asked him slightly angry that Lissa would do that. Dimitri must have noticed this too.
"She only said what she did to make sure that I wouldn't hurt you again and I completely agree with her. If I ever hurt you again like the way I did, I would never be able to forgive myself for it."
"Then why did you?" I asked looking into his eyes.
"I did what I did to protect you. After what happened to you in Spokane I just kept visualizing you in Mason's position and me in yours. Rose I knew how much you loved me and I thought that if I got into a dangerous position like that, your love for me would cloud your judgment and you would end up paying the price with your life. If anything happened to you because of me, I would never be able to forgive myself. I could never live in a world where you don't exist. So I thought that if I left, you would be safe and move on with your life despite how miserable I was, but then Lissa called me telling me about how you were hurting yourself and I realized that I was cause the very thing I was trying to protect you from." I didn't realize I was crying until Dimitri reached up with his hand to stroke my cheek and wipe away the tears with his thumb. I then closed my eyes and leaned into his touch.
We were just outside the dorm building but we were hidden under the trees so none of the passing students seemed to notice.
"I came back because I realized that if I didn't have you in my life that I didn't want to live. Our lives are constantly put in danger and I don't want to come to the end of my life and realize that I could have had you the whole time. I can't put myself through that pain anymore. All I hope is that I haven't lost you completely"
"Dimitri, you never lost me to begin with. But what about Tasha?"
"Tasha and I were never together. The only reason I took her offer was because it was the convenient choice. I never cared for her the way I do you. I left her and Alberta was kind enough to give me my old job back."
"Really?"
"Really!" He replied with dead seriousness.
He then bent down and brushed his lips against mine. As soon as our lips met, the familiar fire burned between us and god how I missed it. How was I even able to breathe without this man in my life? As we continued to kiss, it became much more hungry and lust filled. He wrapped his arms around my waist to bring me closer to his body while I wrapped my arms around his neck and brushed my fingers through his hair to deepen the kiss.
We both knew where this was headed so we reluctantly broke apart. I was completely disappointed that we had to stop, and then Dimitri grabbed my hand and started pulling me towards the dhampir dorms. I was slightly confused as to why he was pulling me into the building but then I realized that he was staying with all week to look after me and my mood suddenly grew excited of what's to come.
We hurriedly ran up to my without us looking too obvious as we passed through the lobby. We quickly made it to my door and I grabbed my key out to unlock the door and once that was done I opened the door and had Dimitri go in first as to avoid anyone from seeing him. I quickly checked the hall to make sure that no one had seen us and once I was satisfied no one had, I entered my room.

Once I was in my room, I turned to lock the door. After I did, Dimitri placed his hand around my waist while I was still facing the door. Electric shocks burst through my body from his simple touch. Dimitri's other hand went around my waist as well, which is when he pulled me backwards towards his chest. Then, I was suddenly turned around and pressed up against the wall with Dimitri pressed very closely to me.
He was breathing and kissing along my neck, and I couldn't help the moan that arose from my throat. I could then feel a slight pressure on my thigh coming from Dimitri's 'lower region'. I could tell he enjoyed it when I moaned for him which is why I did it again only a little louder.
I looked into Dimitri's eyes, and could see the hunger, desire, and love inside of him and I knew that he wouldn't be able to control himself much longer. I grabbed his face, and crushed my lips against his. We began kissing with such passion as we had just done a little while ago; I felt it all throughout my body. Dimitri's hands then slipped to my hips and moved them under my shirt were he started caressing the exposed skin. When that wasn't enough for him he grabbed the bottom of my shirt and pulled it off with one swift movement. Once the article of clothing was disposed of, I repeated the same action on Dimitri. Seeing his exposed chest was better than anything I had ever seen. He truly was a god.
Kissing slowed to a more sensual tone and we were holding onto each other with almost everything we had. We didn't want to be parted again. I knew the moment I was going to give myself to him, and I believe he figured it out soon after, because he pulled back from kissing me.
"Roza? Are you sure?"
"I've never been more sure in my life, I need you Dimitri." By this point we were both breathing rather fast.
"I need you too. I love you so much Roza, I have since the moment I saw you."
"I love you so much Dimitri, I've missed you so much."
Then, the passion and desire kicked in once again. Dimitri then picked me up bridal style and carried me to the bed never breaking our earth shattering kiss. He then gracefully placed me on the bed then moved so that he was hovering above me. We had to break for air and when we did he didn't want us separated. He continued to kiss all the way up my jaw line to my ear where he began to lick and lightly nibble.
"Roza, I don't know how much longer I can control myself, you're far too irresistible." He said in a deep husky voice to the point where his accent was completely present. But just when I was about to reply saying how I didn't want him to, he continued.
"But I'm going to have to in order to worship your body like the devastatingly beautiful goddess you are." He said as he was kissing down the length of my neck all the way to my collar bone.
"You think I'm beautiful?" I know it was a stupid question, but when I'm with a man like Dimitri, I can't help but feel a little self conscious.
"How can you even ask that when I'm living every straight man's fantasy about you?" He said while still kissing my heated skin, but I heard a faint growl during the last part.
"Because, when I'm with you, I feel like I'm not good enough." I replied sheepishly. He then stopped and starred at me so intensely while pulling me closer to his chest.
"Don't you ever think that, it's I who is unworthy; No mortal man is." He said with such love.
"Then it's a good thing you're a god Comrade." After I said that I saw a little twinkle light up his eyes.
"No man is a god without his goddess by his side, and man do I." He said going back to kissing my neck again. Against my neck I heard him whisper, "You could put Aphrodite to shame my love."
When he said that it made my heart flutter. He called me his love, I thought, He really does love me, that's all the reassurance I need. Then he kissed this one spot between my neck and shoulder which caused me to moan quite loudly, which he seemed to enjoy because he did it again. And this time when he did it I arched my back up, pushing my chest towards him.
He took the opportunity to slide a hand behind my back where he unhooked my bra. Then using his teeth, he began to pull one bra strap down while the hand that wasn't on my back began to pull the other one down. As he did that, he allowed his nose and fingers to gently graze my arms sending shock waves straight to my center.
Once he had flung my bra across the room, he pulled back slightly to admire my half naked form.
He then muttered, "Абсолютно красивой, что же мне делать чтобы заслужить существо, прекрасно, как вы?" (Absolutely beautiful, what did I do to deserve a creature as perfect as you?)
I didn't understand anything he just said but I love it when he speaks to me in Russian, it's so sexy and such a turn on. He then resumed kissing from my shoulder down my chest until he reached my left breast and took my very erect nipple into his mouth while the hand that was on my back slid up to give my right some attention. As soon as his mouth made contact, I moaned in pleasure from the amazing feelings he was causing me to experience. He then switched his mouth to my other breast and showed it the exact same attention. It was such a simple thing, but felt so amazing with his mouth. His body was so close to mine, that I felt something poking me. I knew it was his penis, so I brushed it, and started rubbing through his jeans. That got a good moan out of Dimitri.
He then seemed to realize that we were both half dressed because he stopped fondling my breasts and continued to kiss down my stomach all the way to the edge of my jeans.
He was staring up at me keeping full eye contact as he popped the button to my jeans and slowly pulled the zipper down. He then gripped the edges of my pants and began to slowly drag them down my legs as he left butterfly kisses from my inner thighs all the way down to my ankles. I could feel myself dripping through my panties the whole time and I wasn't sure how much longer I could wait.
He then stood up taking in the sight of my near naked body aside from the shear panties I was currently wearing. As he was looking me over, he disposed of his jeans and black silk boxers using speed that could rival any strigoi. As he stood there, I began to take in the sight of his fully naked body. And by god, he was HUGE! How any man could be that gifted is beyond me and then I began to wonder that because this is my first time, is this going to hurt. I don't know but I know Dimitri would never hurt me on purpose and if my first time is going to be with anyone, I'm glad that it's him.
I didn't realize that during my mind babble, he was still standing there looking at me with an amused filled expression.
"See something you like?" He asked using my infamous line from when he caught me with Jesse.
"No, I see something I love"
"As do I my love, as do I" He replied as he started to move towards me again.
He then leaned over me and began to skim his nose from the inside of my ankles all the way up to my inner thighs blowing air on my skin every now and then causing my body to break out in goose bumps.
Once he reached the top of my legs, my guess is his patience was beginning to waver because instead of taking off my panties, he ripped them in two. The action served to just excite me more.
He then lifted my right leg over his left shoulder while giving me a very seductive look. The entire time he did this, I kept giving him a look of utter shock thinking, is he really going to do this.
"Oh Roza, you're so wet," He then blow air right into my center, "and you smell so good," He then looked up again giving me a mischievous grin, "I wonder if you taste just as good."
He then used the end of his tongue and began to lick my slick folds. I gasped at the contact and then his tongue moved to my clit and began to suck, lick, and bite it which caused me to nearly come right there. I tried my hardest not to move while he did this but that obviously wasn't enough because he moved his right hand to rest on my stomach to keep me still.
Throughout all of this I was continuously moaning loudly in pleasure, I never knew I could feel like this, it was amazing, but not nearly as amazing as what he did next.
He dragged his left hand rather roughly along my right leg then he took two ofhis fingers and plunged them deep inside of me. I couldn't help the scream that erupted from me. This was by far the best experience of my life; I couldn't wait for him to be inside of me. He started to pump his fingers inside of me which caused my lower stomach to begin to tighten. With him sucking my clit and pumping his fingers in and out of me at a hard, fast pace, it was only a matter of time before my orgasm would hit.I was nearing about to reach my climax when he pulled away.
I didn't appreciate the loss of his touch and by this point I was pretty much panting. He must have seen the pout form on my face because he pulled himself up and began to kiss a spot behind my ear eliciting a moan from me.
"You taste so good Roza, I could suck your wet pussy all day, but I need to be inside of you…. NOW!" He erupted in an animalistic growl when saying the last word. I had never seen this side of Dimitri before, but I love it. I knew that I needed him just as much as he needed me.
"I love you Dimitri, I need you"
"I love you too Roza," He said as he brushed his lips against mine, "I'm sorry if I hurt you."
Then he crushed his lips to mine in a deep, deep kiss, and plunged into me.
Since it was my first time, when he entered me I felt a stab of pain and it hurt. Oh man, did it hurt. It was so painful that a small scream escaped my lips.
Dimitri then immediately stopped moving and looked me in the eye.
"Roza… you're…. are you a…..?" He couldn't seem to form a complete thought.
"Surely you didn't believe all those rumors about me comrade."
"Never, I just thought that…."
"I've never felt the same way about anyone the way I do you, so why give myself to them?"
"I thought maybe you and Ivashkov…" He spat Adrian's name like a filthy word.
"Adrian is a friend, nothing more, despite his attempts. But what about you and Tasha?" I spat her name the same way he did Adrian's.
"I told you, Tasha and I were never together, we were just friends, I swear to you. No woman could steal my heart the way you have."
"Just like no man could steal mine like you have." By this point the pain I was feeling completely dissolved into blissful pleasure. When Dimitri noticed it all thoughts of conversation were completely forgotten of. He began to kiss my neck again as hepulled almost all the way out, and plunged back inside of me. He did this over, and over, and over. I couldn't help but moan and plead for him to do it harder, and faster, and deeper.
"Ahh Dimitri please!" I begged
"Please what my love? Tell me what you want."
"Harder!" He complied by thrusting into me like never before and oh my god did it feel amazing.
"Take me Dimitri; I'm almost there, ahh!" I screamed. Thank god for the lack of female novices so no one could hear me or we would be in so much trouble.
"Ahh, me too…" He groaned against my mouth. We were both so close to reaching our climaxes that it was only a matter of time.
I clung my legs around his waist as he thrusted as to allow him to go in further. When he did, I felt him hit one spot over and over again which caused me to moan his name over and over again which he seemed to really enjoy. As he pushed I felt myself begin to tighten around him and he felt it too.
"Let go Roza, cum to me!" And as if my body needed his permission I came hard and felt my muscles clench around him. After a few more thrusts he came too while letting out a loud, long, passion filled groan. As I felt him release himself into me, I was in euphoria.
He collapsed on top of me after that while still remaining inside of me. We were both panting in loud short breathes while trying to regain our normal breathing.
Once we did, Dimitri tried to roll off of me but I didn't want to lose the contact so I rolled with him 'til my head was lying on his chest when he moved his arms to wrap them around me protectively.
-End of rated M scene-
-Continue from here-
"That was …" I said trying to think of how to describe what just happened. But Dimitri seemed to have me covered.
"The most amazing love making anyone has ever experienced."
"Yeah it was! So how was I for my first time?"
"Amazing!" He said then kissed my forehead, "Incredible!" then my nose, "Absolutely perfect!" then he gave me a long and passionate kiss on my mouth. When he pulled back he had a breathtaking smile on his face which I couldn't help but match.
"How did I do for your first time? Was it how you dreamed it would be?"
"No, it was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced. It was better than I could have ever dreamed of, thank you." Then I kissed his chest.
"My pleasure mоя красота " (my beauty)
After awhile of whispering sweet nothings to one another and kissing here and there, I fell asleep feeling completely amazing lying in the arms of the man I love. I could get used to being on bed rest.
-A few days later-
Today is my fifth day of my one week bed rest and it has been amazing. Dimitri has stayed with me the whole time never letting me out of his sight. I love being able to act like a real couple together even if it's not in public. Although we've barely slept much this past week. Oh well!
Valentine's Day is coming soon and for the first time in a long time I actually have a boyfriend. I can't wait to see what Dimitri has planned for it; he's been making romantic gestures all week such as breakfast in bed made up of my favorite, chocolate glazed doughnuts, accompanied by a single red rose every morning. God I love him!
He told me that today Lissa was coming by because she had to talk to me about something important, god only knows what that is.
My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door and Dimitri being the overprotective gentleman he is who refused to let me answer the door, got up to answer it.
"Oh hi Dimitri, is Rose here?"
"Yes princ… I mean Lissa, she's right inside." I can only imagine the look she gave him when he was about to say princess. He then stepped aside to allow her entrance.
"Hey Liss, what's up?"
"Hey Rose, how are you feeling?" I could detect the underlying meaning in the question which caused me to smile.
"I'm really good." Dimitri must have heard the double meaning because he sat behind me on the bed and wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me towards his chest. I leaned into his touch and I heard Lissa send a message through the bond, You two are absolutely perfect for each other.
"So what did you want to talk to me about Liss?"
"Well, next Friday is the annual Valentine's Day Dance and I realized that neither of us had dresses so I was going to go talk to Kirova about a possible shopping trip."
"That sounds great. I actually needed some new clothes for the spring." Dimitri then spoke up.
"How about I go talk to her? I needed to talk to Alberta about starting your training up again before the field experience anyway and it's on the way."
"You really wouldn't mind?" Lissa asked.
"It's not a problem. I'll set it up for Saturday in two days okay?"
"That would be great thank you."
"You all would be coming?"
"Well me, Rose, Christian, Adrian, and you probably so all we would need is some more guardians."
"Alright I'll be back," He then stood up and kissed me then whispered, "I love you."
"I love you too, hurry back."
"Will do." Then he left.
"You two are so cute!" Lissa exclaimed, "I'm glad to see you smiling again."
"Me too, he just has that effect on me." I smiled to myself thinking of how much I love Dimitri.
DPOV
I just left Rose's room heading toward the headmistress's office to arrange a shopping trip for the princess and my Roza.
My Roza. God I love the sound of that. I could really get used to the idea of waking up every day with her in my arms which was the other reason I wanted to speak to Alberta to try and arrange having Rose move in with me. My heart races at just the thought of her living with me.
A few minutes later and I was standing outside of the headmistress's office and I lightly knocked.
"Come in" I heard her call, "Oh Guardian Belikov, what can I do for you?"
"I'm here upon request of the Princess to organize a shopping trip for her and her friends this Saturday to shop for attire for the dance next Friday."
"Very well, whom may I ask is all attending?"
"The Princess, Lord Ozera, Lord Ivashkov, and Miss Hathaway."
"Alright then I'll inform Guardian Petrov to organize the Guardians for the trip."
"I'll inform Guardian Petrov Headmistress, I was heading there next anyway."
"Very well then thank you. Good day Guardian Belikov and please inform Miss Hathaway that I wish her a healthy recovery."
"Of course Headmistress, thank you, have a nice day." With that said I exited her office and began heading down the hall towards Alberta's office. But while walking I was so distracted by my own thoughts that I didn't realize that I had run into someone.
"Dimka?"
"Tasha, what do you want?" Allowing my anger for her flow into my voice.
"Can't a friend say hi?"
"No because you aren't my friend, not after what you said about my Roza."
"I'm sorry I said those things, I was just a little upset, and can you blame me?"
"Why are you really here?"
"Like I said, I came to visit my nephew, is that a crime?"
"No but I also know that that isn't the whole truth. Stay away from me Tasha, but more importantly, stay away from Rose. If I hear that you've done anything to her, you'll have to answer me, got it?"
"Perfectly" She replied in a mock innocent voice. I didn't have the time or patience to deal with her right now so I simply turned on my heel and walked to Alberta's office.
When I got there I knocked on the door and waited for Alberta to say, "Come in", and then I proceeded to enter.
"Oh, Dimitri! I wasn't expecting to see you here. Is everything alright? Is Rose okay?" her voice getting slightly fearful towards the end.
"Everything's fine, great actually. I came here to discuss some things with you if that's quite alright?"
"Of course, what can I do for you?" She said while gesturing for me to take the seat across from her.
"Well for starters the Princess was given permission to go shopping this Saturday with Rose, Christian, and Adrian and because I was coming to see to anyway, I told the headmistress that I would discuss with you the Guardian arrangement for the trip."
"Very well then. I'm assuming that all those accompanying the princess know of your relationship with Rose."
"Yes, they all know, why?" I ask rather warily.
"Because I'm not the only Guardian around here who has taken notice of your and Rose's feelings," I was shocked, my eyes wide and mouth agape, Alberta sensing this continued to speak just as I was about to talk.
"There's nothing wrong, they all feel the same way I do about your relationship. The only reason I brought it up was to inform you that you will not be on duty that day but instead as a guest."
I looked at her as though she were crazy.
"What are you saying?" I asked.
"What I'm saying is that you and Rose deserve some 'couple' time and you certainly aren't going to get that here so if I organize it so that all the Guardians going know of your and Rose's relationship…"
"Then Rose and I don't have to hide and we can be together in public." I finished.
"Precisely!"
"That's fantastic, thank you so much!"
"No problem, now you mentioned coming here for another reason?"
"Yes two things actually, the first is being reassigned to someone besides Tasha and Lissa, so that I can be closer to Rose. I would actually prefer if it was someone like Lord Ozera, if possible." I asked but it came out like more of a demand. If I couldn't be with Roza then I'm not sure what I'd do, but living without her was definitely NOT an option.
"Done, anything else?" She replied with a smile on her face.
"What do you mean 'done'?" I asked slightly confused. Reassignments could take at least a week to get finalized.
"Done as in I already took care of it when Rose was in the infirmary. I told you I knew about you two and when you came back and said that you were no longer Lady Ozera's Guardian I figured you would want another post close to Rose that wasn't with her because of the problem of loyalty so I assigned you to the closest person to her and that is Lord Ozera." Its official, Alberta is my new best friend!
"I can't thank you enough for this. This means so much to me." I said with complete sincerity.
"Dimitri, you're a very good friend of mine, but I'm not doing this entirely for you. I've come to see Rose as a daughter ever since Janine enrolled her here, and I definitely do not want to see her like she was been since you've been gone. And if I can do anything to prevent that from happening then I'll do it, no matter what." I really admired her for how much she loved Rose, not nearly as much as me, but still. Rose truly is gifted with how many people she has around her that care for her greatly.
"I hope you truly mean that because that was the other thing that I wanted to ask you, and it's kind of a big thing." I said a sheepishly.
"What would that be?" She asked, but I could have sworn I saw a knowing twinkle in her eye, almost as if she knows what I'm about to ask her, but it was gone far too quickly for me to know for sure.
"Well once Rose turns 18, she becomes a legal adult and therefore no one, not even the academy can do anything about our relationship and I was wondering if it was possible for Rose and me to live together?" I kind of rushed through the last part completely avoiding eye contact.
"Well Belikov, I will admit that that one is a bit of a stretch," she said honestly, my mood slightly dimming, "but," my mood brightened, "I'll see what I can do, we could always use one of the empty paired Guardian rooms. Just get rid of the two twin sized beds and possibly try to get a king sized bed in there. This could possibly work Dimitri, but I'm not making any promises but I'll see what I can do."
I can't believe my ears. Alberta just said there was a chance that I could possibly live with my Roza until graduation which is a good, solid 4 months. This has to be a dream and if it is, it's one I never want to wake up from. I am so ecstatic and because of my mood and great gratitude towards Alberta for all that she has done, I got up and wrapped her in a giant hug, showing just how much all this meant to me.
At first she tensed due to how completely shocked she must be with me hugging her, but then after a moment she relaxed and even hugged me back.
"I hope you take care of her Belikov, she means a lot to a lot of people, so prepare yourself for hell in the form of many people if you hurt her again." I then backed away from her so that she could see the complete and utter seriousness of my words.
"Alberta, you have my word that I will never hurt Rose again as long as I live. I don't think I could survive it another time if I did."
"Good that's all I wanted to hear." Then her office phone began to ring.
"I'll that you go, thank you again for everything, I'll see you on Saturday."
"Good-bye." And with that she picked up the phone as I walked out the door heading back to the woman I love with thoughts of total happiness.
I'm Christian Ozera's Guardian which means I get to see Roza all the time without putting our charges in danger. And not only that, but I'm might get to live with Roza after her birthday, which is only a little more than a month away, all the way until she graduates which is four months after that.
Could my day possibly get any better?
TPOV
I had just come from speaking with Guardian Petrov regarding my intentions here. She clearly feels protective of Rose, just like Dimka which is going to make it so much harder for me to get rid of the little tramp.
"I'm here upon request of the Princess to organize a shopping trip for her and her friends this Saturday to shop for attire for the dance next Friday."
I heard voices speaking as I passed the Headmistress's office, it sounded like Dimitri and Headmistress Kirova. What dance are they talking about? What shopping trip? Thankfully the door was closed so I stepped closer to get a better idea of what it is that they're talking about.
"Very well, whom may I ask is all attending?"
"The Princess, Lord Ozera, Lord Ivashkov, and Miss Hathaway." Ah, so the little tramp is going?
"Alright then I'll inform Guardian Petrov to organize the Guardians for the trip."
"I'll inform Guardian Petrov Headmistress, I was heading there next anyway."
"Very well then thank you. Good day Guardian Belikov and please inform Miss Hathaway that I wish her a healthy recovery." I hope the little bitch is in agony!
"Of course Headmistress, thank you, have a nice day." Oh shit, he's coming out. What do I do, what do I do? I then decided to act like I was just walking down the hall like I had been doing awhile ago.
When Dimitri came out of her office heading towards Guardian Petrov's office I noticed that he seemed distracted because he barely noticed me, Probably thinking about her precious Roza, SKANK!
"Dimka?" I said while I acted surprised.
"Tasha, what do you want?" Allowing my anger to flow into his voice. Clearly for me.
"Can't a friend say hi?" I decided to play innocent.
"No because you aren't my friend, not after what you said about my Roza."
"I'm sorry I said those things, I was just a little upset, and can you blame me?"
"Why are you really here?"
"Like I said, I came to visit my nephew, is that a crime?"
"No but I also know that that isn't the whole truth. Stay away from me Tasha, but more importantly, stay away from Rose. If I hear that you've done anything to her, you'll have to answer me, got it?" He knows me too well; I'll have to be extra careful around him.
"Perfectly" I replied in a mock innocent voice. I hope he didn't catch it. Luckily he didn't because he simply turned on his heel and walked to Alberta's office.
I instantly knew that I had to go on that shopping trip. It's the only time I'll be able to get close enough to Rose.
I then went and knocked on the door of the headmistress's office where I was given a loud, "Come in."
"Oh, Lady Ozera, what brings you here?" Time to put my acting skills to the test.
"Well I was talking to my nephew and he told me about a dance that is taking place next Friday, is that correct?"
"Yes, our annual Valentine's Day Dance, what about it?"
"Well, I was planning on attending but noticing I didn't pack the appropriate attire for the event, so I was just wondering if I could be granted temporary leave from the premises to go shopping for a dress on,… say… oh,… Saturday?" Come on, come on, come on, and place me with the group Dimitri's going with.
"Well there just so happens to be group of students going this Saturday one of whom is your nephew so I'll just arrange for you to accompany them." Bingo!
"That would be fantastic, thank you!"
"No problem at all, I'll just call Guardian Petrov to inform her that there will be one more attending Saturday." She played into my plan perfectly, and by the look on her face it appears she thinks that this whole idea was hers. Well I'll just let her think what she will, after all, as long as I destroy Rose and Get Dimitri in the longer run, everything will be perfect.
And with that I left the Headmistress to call Guardian Petrov with one thought on my mind; Destroy Rose!
Say good-bye to your precious Roza, Dimka, because she's not going to be around much longer, and I think I know just how to do it, then Dimka will be all mine!
I know that Valentine's Day was not on a Friday but this is my story so…
BITE ME!
