Dimka's POV

Over the next couple of days Roza and I got to know each other better and we found out that we had a lot of things in common. She was the first person to really understand the true me; plus it was also thanks to Roza that my inspiration came back. She was glad to sit for me and she loved all the paintings that I made, she even encouraged me to work on the ones that I thought were crap.

She was really sweet, but tough at the same time and I noticed that I was starting to have romantic feelings towards her. I didn't want to say anything to Roza about my feelings, because I wasn't sure if she would reciprocate my feelings, I mean she was a princess after all and I was nothing more than a painter; sure I was famous one, but I highly doubted that it was enough to win her affection.

She enjoyed exploring the forest that surrounded my house, but I always made sure to go with her, because you never know who or what was hiding out there. Roza also enjoyed checking out the shops in town, there wasn't a nightclub here in our part of town, there were a couple of them a couple miles out of town, but Roza wasn't interested in leaving to go to one. I could see that she missed the dancing, the drinking and the music that pumped out of the speakers of a nightclub, so I decided to fix that. One day while we were out, I let in a decorator to change one of the big rarely used rooms into a club.

I told Mia to make it look as much like a nightclub that she could and she promised me that when we got back that I wouldn't recognized the room and that I would feel like I was actually standing in a nightclub, instead of a room in my house. I thanked her and she said that it was a sweet thing that I was doing for my girlfriend, I stumbled over a reply, trying to explain that she wasn't my girlfriend when Roza walked in, she looked at me, but didn't acknowledged if she heard my comment or not, but I thought I detect sadness in her eyes.

When we got back that night, Mia had already left. I told Roza that I had a surprise for her and after covering her eyes, I walked her down to the hall to the room, opened the door and we walked in. She kept asking me what was going on and I told her that she will see soon enough, I was amazed at the amount of work that Mia was able to get done and the room looked great. I walked Roza to the middle of the room and then I removed her blindfold, she gasped when she saw what I had done, she looked all around her and then she flung her arms around my neck and squeezed me while thanking me repeatedly and telling me that I didn't have to go through all the trouble of changing a room just for her.

I pulled away from her so that I could look in her eyes and said, "Roza, it was no trouble to get this room changed over. I saw how sad that you were that there wasn't a club nearby and I just wanted to see you smile."

"You have done so much to make me smile Dimitri and I don't know how I will ever be able to repay you for all your kindness and help."

"You're smiles are all the thanks that I need."

She gave me a smile and then reached up to place a kiss on my check. She then left the circle of my arms to go and explore the room. Three of the walls were painted black and the fourth wall was all mirrors. At one end was a bar, there was a disco ball hanging in the middle of the room and there were stars painted on the ceiling. Roza wandered around looking at everything while I just stood in the middle with a smile on my lips at her excitement.

When Roza saw everything that was in the room, she came back to my side and wrapped me in another hug. I heard her sigh when I wrapped my arms around her waist and I wondered yet again if I should tell her how I truly felt about her. There was really only two options tell her and find out that she feels the same for me or keep these feelings forever buried deep inside of me. My head was whirling at what option to pick so much so that I didn't even notice when Roza pulled back from me.

She ran her hand over my cheek and I looked into her eyes. No words were spoken between us; I wondered what she was thinking as she was staring at me. I had just come to the decision that I was going to tell her when she reached up on her tiptoes and placed a kiss on my lips. My brain shut down, no thoughts were going through my brain, it was stuck on… she kissed me I can't believe that she kissed me. Just as my brain kicked back into function and screamed at me to kiss her back, Roza had already pulled away from the kiss. She buried her head against my chest and I was concerned that she regretted kissing me; I placed my hand on her face and gently lifted up her head so that she could look into my eyes.

Her eyes held sadness and I knew that it was my fault.

"Roza, please don't be sad."

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kissed you."

"But I'm glad that you did."

"Huh?"

"Oh my dorogaya Roza, I've wanted to kiss you for so long and I had just come to the decision to tell you of my feelings when you kissed me. My brain could only process that you kissed me and that's why I didn't kiss you back."

"You mean you want to kiss me?"

"Yes and more than once."

To prove my point, I leaned down till my lips were an inch from hers, waiting to see if she would reject me. When she made no signs of protest, I pressed my lips to hers gently, she kissed me back and after a few minutes the kiss became heated. I ran my hands down to her hips and pulled her closer to me, Roza trailed her hands up my chest, over my shoulders and into my hair. The more that I pulled her closer, the more that she pulled on my hair.

I broke the kiss and we stared into each others eyes, chests heaving, that had to be the best kiss that I've ever had, not saying that I've kissed a lot of women, but the ones that I did, the kiss that I just shared with Roza was by far more intense. I smiled at her and she smiled back.

"So I guess that you like me as well Roza," I said with a chuckle.

"Yeah Comrade I do."
