A/N: Okay, so we knw Dmitri left Rose pregnant and all that, but I want to make something clear, because I'm unsure if it was mentioned in past chapters. Tatiana is alive, but Lissa is now Queen. Okay, thanks for reading! On with the story!

When I woke up that morning I was greeted with a kiss.

"Morning starlet," Adrian said in an almost sing song voice.

I rolled my eyes then stretched, "Morning, do you want me to make breakfast before Kat gets here?" I'd taken over making breakfast and lunch and we always went to Lissa's for dinner, so that was taken care of.

"Sure, you know how much I love your cooking," he smiled at me and once I stood up he kissed me again, I still couldn't get over the fact that he had feelings for me, the same ones I have for him.

I rolled my eyes then went to the kitchen still in my pajamas. I made pancakes with chocolate chips since they were my favourite and apparently Adrian liked them too because he dipped his finger in the batter and ate it.

"Adrian!" He just laughed at me. I still had the flour out so I grabbed a handful and threw it at him, making it my turn to laugh. He grabbed an egg and threw it at me. I glared and took the milk and emptied the almost-full jug onto his head.

"Faye Carson Iris Aldaine! You will pay for that!" He grabbed a handful of chocolate chips and dropped them on my head; they stuck to the egg in my hair. I took a handful of batter and threw it at his face, He responded by dumping the bowl of batter on my head.

"You two are insane…" I looked over and saw Rose standing there laughing with Kat on her hip giggling.

"Uhhhh… Hi," I said lamely, causing everyone to laugh again.

Kat looked at me and asked, "Auntie Faye? Why are you and Uncle Adwian awl messy?"

I laughed, "Because Uncle Adrian is mean."

"Oh."

Adrian laughed and kissed my forehead, even though it was covered in all the gunk, then he turned to Kat and Rose, "Am not. I was just hungry, she didn't need to freak out and throw flour at me…"

I rolled my eyes at him then I looked at Kat. "You ready to have some fun today?"

The little girl nodded eagerly, her deep, chocolate brown eyes shining in excitement.

"Alright, but I need to shower first, okay? Do you wanna watch some TV while I do that?" She nodded and I put the TV on for her. I then turned back to Rose, who was smiling at me and Adrian, who had come and put his arms around me.

"Thank you, Faye."

"For what?" I asked; she knew not to thank me for babysitting Katerina; I love her to pieces, so I was honestly curious.

"For making Adrian happy. I wasn't able to do it. I'm glad that you can."

I blushed slightly while Adrian smiled and rested his chin on my shoulder.

"You're welcome, I guess?" It came out as a question.

Rose smiled, "although, it looks like you don't mind it all that much…"

"Not really," I laughed, "He makes me happy too" I smiled and turned my head to kiss him.

Rose smiled then looked at the clock on the stove, "Damn, I have to go or Lissa will bite my head off, have fun Kat and don't be too much trouble!" She left then I turned around in Adrian's arms and rested my head on his shoulder. He kissed my head before I pulled away.

"I gotta shower."

Adrian smirked at me, "I don't suppose you want help with that?"

"Adrian!"

He just laughed and I went to the bathroom, shaking my head but smiling at the same time. After my shower I let Adrian use the bathroom.

I spent the rest of the day with Kat while Adrian was with his great aunt. We went to the park and then she dragged me to the track, where I was forced to run with her, although after about two laps, she was completely tired out. When I got back to Arian's suite, Rose was already there; she thanked me and as soon as she left Adrian shoved me into his room, where a beautiful dress was hung up with a sticky note on it.

Get ready. I'm taking you out on a date.

Love,

Adrian

I grinned stupidly at the closing line then hopped into the shower. About an hour later I stood in front of the full length mirror, admiring my reflection. The dress was emerald green; it probably matched Adrian's eyes… Oh who am I kidding, I knew exactly what shade of green his eyes were, and it almost matched, but nothing, nothing, matched the perfect orbs that were Adrian Ivashkov's eyes. It brought out the green in my hazel eyes as well. The dress fell to three quarters down my thigh, it was strapless, tight at my chest, making my boobs look great, then falling away from my body. Under my chest was a silver sash, and the neckline glittered with jewels that no doubt cost more than I'd ever owned in my life. I had on heels that matched the sash and my red-brown hair was in a bun, with perfectly curled tendrils framing my face. My makeup was fairly light, pale green eye shadow and black eyeliner with pink lip gloss. I looked gorgeous, and that was only confirmed by Adrian's jaw hitting the floor when I walked out. I guess he'd used the spare room, because he stood there in a black tux with a green tie. He waked up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"You look… amazing." He kissed me passionately.

"Thank you." I said with a light blush. "You look pretty handsome yourself."

He smiled then turned so that he had one arm around my waist and he led me out of the suite and to a fancy restaurant, which was surprisingly empty. I looked at him with one eyebrow raised.

"I knew we'd be stared at and I didn't want our first date to be on display for the whole vampiric world," he smirked at me and I rolled my eyes. A waitress came by and took our order, she attempted to flirt but Adrian's eyes never left mine. She left with a bitchy glare at me, but I didn't care. We talked until our food arrived, then we just stared at each other. Normally I'd find it creepy, but with him, it was comfortable. After dinner, we shared desert, it was chocolate cake, and we fed each other, one of the things I'd always found disgusting in couples, but I finally understood it. We laughed easily and the mood was light. He walked me back to his suite with a smile. I kissed him and he pulled me closer. I deepened it and he groaned against my lips.

"I love you," he murmured, still against my lips.

I pulled back, stunned. "What?"

"I love you," he repeated, a hint of doubt and worry laced his voice.

"I… I love you too," he smiled and pressed his lips back to mine, this time harder, hungrier. My hands fisted into his hair, and once he pulled mine out of the bun, his did the same. His other hand was on the small of my back, while my other rested on his bicep. We stood in the living room for god knows how long before I pulled away.

"Sorry, dreamwalker. I don't sleep with guys on the first date," I laughed, rather breathlessly.

"Alright, but that wasn't why I asked you out. Even after you decide to sleep with me, I'll be around. You're stuck with me." He murmured against the top of my head.

I laughed. "Yep!" I popped the 'p' and he chuckled.

"Well then, you better get some sleep… Do dream dates count?"

"Hmm… No they don't," I smiled at him then went and changed. When I came out in my pajamas Adrian was already waiting for me. I curled up to him and fell asleep.
