Rose's POV
Beep, beep, beep...
I could faintly make out the beeps of the alarm clock. Hoping it was just a mere nightmare, I turned around in my sleep. I turned over, crashing into the most wonderful thing in my life, confirming that I was awake. I groaned, and slammed my palm in the alarm clock, shutting it up.
"Thank God," I grumbled, shuffling closer to Dimitri, which I was already laying next to. He wrapped his arms around me, and put his lips to my hair. If I could bear to live without him, I would've kicked him - or worse - for the thing he did next.
"Come on, Roza," he said. "We need to go..." he hesitated, "shopping," he said in distaste.
I chuckled to myself, "You asked for it, Comrade." I sat up abruptly, jumping out of bed, and all in the space of a few seconds, in an attacking stance.
"Rose..." he groaned, "Don't."
"You should have let me sleep," I said, leaping on him, knocking him out of bed. I laid on top of his chest, and we were sprawled on the floor.
"Let me go," he moaned, "If you hurry up, we'll be able to do some much better things..." he tilted his head, "Than sleep."
I smiled, pressing my lips to his, and then got up. "Well what are we waiting for?" I asked, in a singsong voice. The cold Montana air hit me. Dimitri had kept me warm. You'd think that I'd be used to the coldness by now, but no. I still hated it. I sprinted into the shower, turning it on, letting the hot soak in my skin. Strong hands grabbed my waist, and I jumped.
"Dimitri..." I said sternly, "Don't do that."
He chuckled softly, "It's okay, Roza."
We stood in silence as we both quickly showered.
"Hey Dimitri?" I murmured.
"Yes...?" he jerked his head up. "What's wrong?" he asked anxiously.
"Nothing... well," I hesitated purposely, teasing him. I muttered softly, "I love you."
"I love you too, Roza," he told me, pulling us into a kiss. "But don't ever scare me like that again."
"Anyway..." I regrettably pulled away from the kiss, "We should probably go now."
He sighed, but nodded. So, after both grabbing our stakes, some money, and some clothes - not that I would have minded Dimitri leaving his clothes off (if it wasn't for all the women, and girls that stared at him), we headed off to Lissa and Christian's chambers, which happened to be next door. Because we were their guardians, of course. But what it had taken.
