Thanks sooooooooooo much for this awesome idea from EatUr3Out it's a good one!

*Date Contest*

"If I had to bring three things with me on a deserted island I would bring…my family picture album, my favorite book, and a camera." Lissa said. I sat up from my upside down position on my bed, grabbing Dimitri's arm to haul me up. He was sitting with my legs on his lap, watching me hang upside down with an amused grin.

"A camera? Why so you can document how frickin' hungry you are? I would bring Dimitri, a grocery store and a gourmet chef." I winked at Dimitri, he rolled his eyes and squeezed my foot. "What would you bring comrade?"

He thought a moment. "I think I would bring a tracker, a boat and you." Dimitri sent me a dazzling grin. I smiled back at him while Christian snorted from across the room where he was sitting on a bean bag chair with Lissa on his lap.

"The point is that you can't get off the island Belikov. Anyways I'd bring chains, a beach chair and Rose." Christian grinned.

"What are the chains for, and why did you bring Rose?" Mia asked.

"Well Rose is to put up against a tree, the chains are to tie her to said tree, and the chair is for me to sit just beyond her reach so I can point and laugh." Christian rattled off. I rolled my eyes and Lissa hit his chest with her hand.

"Well I'd bring Rose, a king sized bed and-" I cut Adrian off.

"I change my mind, I'd bring Dimitri, a grocery store and Adrian. That way I could beat Adrian to a pulp and send him out to sea on a boat made of empty chip bags and bubble gum." I grinned at him. He rolled his eyes.

"May I finish?" Adrian asked.

"No, no you may not."

"I was going to say a house…duh." Adrian went on anyways. I rolled my eyes.

"Let's do something! We haven't had a contest in forever!" Lissa whined.

"What would our contest be?" Eddie asked getting a soda.

"I don't know, a talent contest?" Lissa answered.

"That's lame." I snorted.

"You just think it's lame because you don't have any talent Hathaway." Eddie laughed. I snarled.

"Oh yea, and what can you do Eddie? Get your ass kicked by a girl?" he raised an eye brow.

"For the record I've only ever lost to you, and second, I can play the guitar Rosie" he grinned.

"Don't call me Rosie." I snapped.

"I can sing well." Lissa piped in.

"I can kick all kinds of ass." I offered.

"Doesn't count Rose." Dimitri said.

"Well, what can you do besides kick ass?" I asked him. He thought a moment.

"When I was a kid, I used to draw comics. You know, the super hero ones? And stop saying ass." he grinned. My eye brows got lost in my hair line. Who knew?

"Well I can make Rose scream my name." Adrian said with a toothy grin.

"Adrian! You're such a pervert!" I yelled.

"See, told ya." Adrian chuckled, I flicked a corn chip at him and it landed in his drink. "Hey." He pouted.

"Let's go to the mall." Mia said bored looking at her nails. "Wait, just kidding last time we went to the mall I had to have Eddie 'talk' with like seven guys."

"Pfft, it was more like two." I rolled my eyes.

"That's a great idea!" Adrian shot up. "We can go to the mall and have a contest to see who gets asked out the most!"

"That's dumb, you'll just annoy me all day and I'll win." I grinned.

"Oh yea? I think your jealous Rose." Adrian taunted standing. I snorted and stood putting my hands on my hips and got right in his face.

"I think you're a dumb, conceded ass hole." I threw back at him.

"Wanna make out?" he yelled back.

"Sitting right here…" Dimitri spoke for the first time from my bed standing.

"So I'll contract some type of mouth fungus? No thanks, but I'll kick your ass in this bet!" I answered.

"The usual?" he yelled.

"Oh course dumbass!" I screamed and turned away and out the door before I hit him. Hard.

"You guys are nuts." I heard Eddie mumble as I left with Dimitri following me.

"That stupid, annoying, son of a who-"

"Rose!" Dimitri stopped me. I looked up at him.

"What? I was going to say horrible person." I battered my eye lashes at him and then turned and walked out threw the dorm doors.

He muttered something in Russian and grabbed my hand pulling me to the side of the building, hiding us from any unfriendly eyes.

I was pressed between the building and a very built Russian man who was stroking a finger down my face. Life is good, life is very good.

"Rose, you aggravate, annoy, anger-"

"That's a lot of 'a' words Comrade." I teased up at him.

He chuckled and leaned down pressing kisses along my collar bone. I hmmed and shuddered as his lips traveled and brushed up against my ear and he whispered;

"I was also going to say you make me laugh, and feel happy Roza. And I love you," he kissed my lips gently and I melted in his gaze.

"I love you too Comrade," I curled a hand around his head fingering his ear lobe. Can an ear lobe be sexy? If its Dimitri Belikov's then yes, yes it can.

***Next Day***

"Can there be any rules for this?" I asked as we traveled in our signature van to the mall with Comrade driving.

"I guess not…you can't tell or threaten," a look was thrown at me, "anyone into asking you out." Lissa said. I rolled my eyes.

"I have my charm, looks, and witty attitude that just draws guys to me." I said in a fake 'oh my gosh' voice while twisting my hair in between my fingers.

"It was definitely the witty attitude that got me." Adrian turned in his seat in front of me and blatantly stared at my chest.

"You're lucky there's a seat belt holding me to this seat," I said.

"Oh?" Adrian retorted and wiggled his eye brows.

"Rose, are you going to buy anything at the mall?" Alberta cut in from the front seat looking at me in the mirror.

"I think I'm going to get my belly button pierced." I joked, sending one last glare at Adrian before meeting her eyes.

"You have to be eighteen to do that." She answered.

"Not if I have adult permission." I retorted sitting forward, accepting the verbal spar.

"By a parent or guardian." Dimitri joined the conversation for the first time sending me a pointed look.

I stared him down in the mirror for a few seconds before he had to look back at the road. I huffed and sat back.

"Yea whatever, I can do it myself. That's cheaper anyways." I grinned. Dimitri glanced at me again and I licked my lips obnoxiously and he rolled his eyes and went back to the road. I chuckled and sat back in my seat.

We arrived at the mall a few minutes later and Dimitri and Alberta felt the need to go over the rules…again…and then we were off.

We couldn't exactly go by ourselves and there weren't enough guardians with us to safely monitor all of us solo, so I went with Lissa and Mia.

The guys stuck together and headed for the food court. Damn, should have gone with them.

Alberta and a few others Guardian's trailed us as we snaked our way through stores, and believe me, two tall, pale, beautiful girls and a tan built brunette attract a lot of attention.

"First victim's ladies," I grinned and spotted a group of guys hanging out by a pretzel shop with sodas in their hands, they were clearly on the hunt. But they didn't realize there was a bigger, hungrier animal out there.

One spotted our group and without looking away hit his friends chest.

He caught me looking and smiled nodding. I turned to Lissa and Mia with a small smile, ignoring him.

"Saw them first." And I pushed them the other way and walked with hips in full swing over to the group. I turned over my shoulder and winked at Lissa and Mia who rolled their eyes and looked at some scarves in a cart.

"Hey," the guy nodded as I walked over, his two friends were scanning me and approving moving closer as I approached.

"Hi." I smiled with teeth and I could see the first guys instinct to flee, but it was quickly gone and I was in.

"I'm Eric, this is Mike and Alex." He gestured to his friends. I nodded.

"I'm Ali," and with that I charmed the words out of them and headed back to Lissa and Mia with a grin on my face and three suckers with a fake phone number. Claaaaaaaasic.

"All this working is making me hungry…let's go to the food court!" I told the girls. They rolled their eyes but followed me.

"You wouldn't happen to want to go to the food court because a tall Russian guy named Dimitri is there right?" Lissa asked.

I laughed. "Please, I'm in it to win it baby. Also, food court." I paused. "But hey, if we bump into Dimitri…" I trailed off and Lissa snorted sharing a look with Mia.

"Excuse me miss? I couldn't help but notice, your behind is beckoning for attention." I heard a voice behind me. I turned slowly to see a tall, lean guy with longish black hair, a baseball hat, large sunglasses and a familiar smile with a fake mustache.

"Really? Cause your ass looks like it needs a swift kick." I smiled sweetly at Adrian before reaching up and ripping the mustache off his face leaving a red, sticky patch.

"Ah!" he howled grabbing his face. I grabbed his collar and pulled him over to a pillar which I shoved him against.

"Listen here Ivashkov. I'm going to win the contest, and then I'm going to steal one of those scooter things that the mall cops have, run you over with it, back up and do it again. Then we're going to have a nice, quiet car ride home." His eye brows shot up his forehead.

"Am I the only one noticing the erotic beating of my heart? I think its fate Rose; let's go make use of one of those beds in that mattress store up there." Adrian winked and I growled and shoved him into the pillar before letting him go.

As I walked away Adrian called back to me, "That was a very sensual growl Rose! Let's do this again sometime!" I heard the smile in his voice. Despite my obvious annoyance for him I grinned but didn't turn around as I once again shared my middle finger with him.

I continued on into the food court inhaling the aroma of all the different foods.

"Yum, yum! Tasty, tasty!" an obnoxious voice called out behind me as I circled the food court.

"Hey! Watch your mouth asshole!" I yelled and spun around, only to see a Chinese guy in a chef coat and hat holding a plate of chicken with toothpicks.

The man's mouth hung open.

"Try the chicken…" slowly escaped and died as it left his lips. Damn it. I yelled at the sample guy, they're my favorite kind of people!

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! Let's go Rose." Lissa said hurrying up and grabbing my elbow leading me away.

"Yea! Really sorry!" Mia rushed by him to catch up with us, then she doubled back and grabbed a toothpick. "Thanks!"

DPOV

"Watch the master Belikov." Eddie wiggled his eye brows at me as he saw two girls walking and giggling looking at him and me.

"Well hello ladies, the names Eddie." He swung his arms over their shoulders and they looked at each other incredulously.

"Can I help you?" the blonde asked. Eddie grinned.

"Well you might be able to. But the question is, can I help you?" he winked and the brunette on his other side spoke up.

"You can help us by getting the fuck off, and also introducing us to your dark friend over there." She motioned and winked at me.

Rose would have a field day with this.

"What? Oh him? Eh, you wouldn't want to hang out with him." Eddie said looking a little flustered. Then he leaned down and not so quietly told them, "He's gay."

I rolled my eyes. The girls exchanged looks and reached into their purses, Eddie grinned and gave me an 'oh yea, I'm good' look.

"Here, if you, you know, have a change in heart, give us a call." The blonde winked giving me a slip of paper followed by the brunette who purposely touched her fingers to mine.

They walked away, hips swaying and giggling while Eddie looked angrily at me with his mouth hanging open.

"And that is how it's done." I said slipping the numbers into a nearby trash can.

RPOV

"I told everyone to meet here at four…and I didn't expect it to be Alberta missing." Dimitri said looking at the flip phone he kept in his pocket.

"Well maybe she's being weighed down by all the numbers she got today." I said obnoxiously. A few people in the group couldn't contain their grins. Alberta? Yea right.

"There she is." A guardian pointed up ahead of us and sure enough there was Alberta dodging a vendor stand…with a guy following her.

"For the love of god!" she yelled power walking towards us. "If you don't leave me alone I swear-"

"Oh come on, it's one-"

"I will not go out with you!" she roared and reached our group.

"Which one is he, we'll see if he's tough enough." said the guy who was following her. She stopped next to Dimitri and pointed.

Dimitri catching on quickly as always gave the guy a glare.

"You don't scare me buddy," the guys said stepping closer to Dimitri.

"Fuck off ass wipe or I'll knee you in the nuts so hard you won't be able to walk until Christmas." I growled stepping up next to him. He turned and saw my glare and the hairs on the nape of his neck stood up.

"Now her, her I'm afraid of." He stumbled back and gave one last glance at Alberta then turned and scurried off toward some stores.

"Oh thank god!" Alberta groaned slumping. "He's been trailing me all day!"

"What a dick!" I grumbled. Christian chuckled.

"I guess you did have a lot weighing you down" he laughed.

"What are you talking about?" Alberta gave him a weird look.

"Well how many times did he ask you out?" Christian persisted.

Alberta rolled her eyes. "I'm not playing your childish game." I shrugged and announced my score.

"Thirteen." I grinned.

"Ten." Eddie mumbled.

"Shit." Adrian cursed.

"I love Christian." Lissa announced.

"Yea, me too." Christian said. "Only about Lissa."

"Obviously dumb ass." I retorted.

"Eight." Mia absentmindedly said looking at her nails.

I looked at Dimitri. "Well?"

"Twelve." He shrugged. I grinned.

"Well I guess that means-"

"I beat you by four." Alberta said walking away towards the door to the parking lot. No one moved, no one even blinked.

Then I laughed and shook my head.

"I knew I always liked her."

Sorry doesn't cover it. You guys are the best fans in the world, truly. I suffered months of writers block, literally typing only paragraphs at a time then getting stuck again. I didn't want to leave this story on an open note, or leave my readers hanging. But I also didn't want and still don't want to change the story from in progress to complete. But every story has to end and I'm grateful for the journey you all have taken me on while I wrote this over the past two-ish years. I'll always remember the people that supported me! And who knows, inspiration strikes at weird times, that's how sequels are written ; ) No promises. Please review, and add to favorites and alerts, cause really, who knows?
