I was anxious as hell, today was the day that I was finally going to be able to see Lissa after so many months apart. I was pacing around in the library waiting for Dimka to return, he was currently at the airport waiting for Lissa's plane to arrive. I wanted to go with him but with the airport being so big we didn't want to risk my kidnappers getting to me. Every little sound made my want to jump up and run to the door but I knew that it wouldn't be them yet because Dimka promised to text me before they arrived.

I knew that it was going to be a long wait and so I decided that a swim would help to calm me down, I took my phone and made it as loud as possible so I would know the second that Dimka texted me. Once I was changed into my bathing suit and my phone was placed on one of the lounge chairs away from the water, I dove in and swam some laps. When I was tired from swimming laps and my brain had calmed down, I floated on my back for awhile just thinking, of Lissa, of Dimitri, of who could be my kidnappers, if there was at all of possibility that they have given up and I would be able to live my life here in peace.

I had been floating for awhile when I heard my phone beeping with an incoming text; I scrambled out of the pool and raced to my phone. I read the text from Dimka telling me that Lissa had arrived safely and that they would be home in about thirty minutes. My stomach did a funny little flip when I read the word 'home'. Is this my home now, here with Dimka? Or is this just a stopping place till I knew that I'm safe and able to get a place on my own. My heart ached because I couldn't see a life anymore without Dimka in it. I shook my head, vowing to think about it more later and ran out of the pool room so that I could be changed and waiting for when they arrived.

I ran all the way to my bedroom, when I was there I pulled out some clothes and then hopped into a shower. Once I was showered and changed I went back downstairs and saw that I had fifteen minutes till they were due to arrive, I decided to make some quick sandwiches and have some drinks ready because I had a feeling that Lissa would be hungry when she got here. Once that was done, I went into the living room and tried to remain sitting and not get anxious again. Before I knew it, Dimka had texted me again saying that they were pulling up, I jumped up and ran for the door. I flung it open and waited till Dimka's car had stopped and then I raced down the stairs and over to the car, I opened the door and there in all her beautiful glory was Lissa Dragomir. She still looked the same as the last time that I seen her, she let out a squeal which was very unlike her and got out of the car and flung her arms around me.

I couldn't believe that she was standing her, she was whispering that she thought I was dead, how much she missed me and how that I was sure lucky to come across as she called him "a hunky Russian". I laughed at that and asked her if she was hungry, she told me that she was and so we walked into the house, Dimka who up until this point had remained in his car got out and called to us that he would bring in the luggage.

We thanked him and then walked into the house, I showered her where the living room was and told her to go and wait there while I got us something to eat. She nodded her head and I walked into the kitchen to get the food, when I was walking out of the kitchen, Dimitri was just coming in with Lissa's luggage, I smiled and placed a kiss on his cheek, thanking him yet again for doing for me, he told me that it was no trouble and that he would either be in his studio or office if we needed him, I thanked him again and walked in the living room, placed the food on the coffee table and went back for the drinks.

After Lissa had enough to eat, we began to talk, she told me to tell her everything that has happened and so I told her everything that I knew, my time running and when I met Dimitri, she was crying by the time that I was finished, I moved closer to her and wrapped her in a hug telling her that everything was going to be alright, she said that she was sorry that she hadn't been here for me and that she was never going to let me out of her life again. I told her that I didn't want the kidnappers to be after her as well, that's why I was never able to get in contact with her till now.

She nodded her understanding and when she was calmed down, I told her to tell me everything that she's been up to. Lissa told me that for the longest time, my parents question her about where I was but when she could tell them nothing they finally believed her, she told me that it wasn't the same without me around and that she grew increasingly lonelier. She also told me that she met a guy, Christian Ozera. I remembered that the Ozera's were outcast for some reason that my parents never shared with me, after Christian's parents had died. It was just his aunt and he now to carry on the Ozera line but no man was willing to marry Tasha because she was a known slut; a fact that she was proud of.

Lissa told me that Christian was nothing like his aunt that he was a sweet caring guy and he helped her to deal with my disappearance in a healthier way, she also told me that they were in love and she didn't care what her parents thought of him. I told her that I was happy that she found someone that loves her and asked when I would be able to meet him; she then told me that he was going to be arriving in the next couple of days. He wasn't able to get away with her now and that's why he wasn't here yet. I told her that I was excited to meet him.

We lapsed into silence for a bit, having some more to eat and drink, lost in our own thoughts

"So what's going on with you and Dimitri?" Lissa asked breaking the silence

"Well I like him and he likes me"

"No you don't"

"Huh?"

"I can tell that you love him" I shushed her, not knowing if Dimka was in hearing distance or not.
"Ah I take it you haven't told him yet" Lissa said with a knowing smile. I shook my head and she asked me why not. I told her that I wasn't sure if he felt the same for me, she snorted at that and when I looked at her with a raised eyebrow, she said that she could see it in his face every time that he looked at me, that he loved me as well. I smiled letting my mind wander to the possibility that maybe he does love me as well, after a few minutes I could hear Lissa laughing at my blatant oblivious to the way that Dimka felt for me. I just stuck my tongue out at her and asked her if she wanted to see the rest of the house, she nodded her head and I took her on a tour.

I showed her all the different rooms of the house and once the tour was over I showed her to her room, where her luggage was already waiting. I was about to leave so that she could take a shower before dinner when she called my name, I turned back around

"Yeah Liss?"

"Is there a place in this town to party?"

"Not in town, but if we go a little out of town there are a couple of nightclubs. Why?"

"Well I just got my best friend back and I think that we celebrate, I know that you got your own nightclub but I want to get out with other people"

"Alright sounds fun, I ask Dimitri if he wants to go as well"

"Sounds great. Hey why do you have your own nightclub in the first place?"

"It wasn't the same without" I said with a smile, which made her smile as well

I told her to get dressed and then after we eat we'll go, she told me that she will be down in a few. I nodded my head and then went in search of Dimka. I found him in his office and I told him of our plans, he said that he was up for it. A night out sounded like fun. I smiled and then left him to go and get ready myself, I was excited to be able to go out again and party with Lissa, this night was going to be great.

A/N: So next chapter will be the nightclub. Want to clear something up, I know that last chapter it said that it was beta'd but it wasn't, I didn't have time to send it to my beta because the contest that this story is entered in is about to close. This chapter is also unbeta'd, I'm going to try and get another chapter up before time runs out but there are no guarantees. *waves* until next time.
