Anyway, on with the story!

Chapter three.
It was night time (VA time) when we reached his home so all we did was have dinner, a little chit chat and off to bed.
Dimitri's mother is an excellent cook. I love her cooking. I literally licked the plate after I was done which earned me a few chuckles and the others rolling their eyes.
We all sat in the living room after dinner to chat for a while.
I was forced to sit next to Dimitri on a cramped chair. There is now way in hell I'm going to sit on his lap.
Christian just HAD to say "Why squeeze Hathaway? Just sit on his lap." Eddie, Christian and Adrian tried to hold back their laughter.
I shot him a death glare as I murmured "I swear I will go into your room and castrate you in your sleep and then I will laugh sadistically. That goes the same for you two." I pointed towards Eddie and Adrian. They instinctively covered the area in between their legs.
"Oh, he's right. Don't be shy, dear. Just go sit on his lap." Olena urged.
I grumbled as I let Dimitri pull me onto his lap. Great. I have to scrub my ass too. Christian almost lost it when Dimitri started to wrap his arms around me. I swear I wanted to rip his arms out but I realized that his family was sitting right in front of me.
Olena couldn't stop grinning as she said "I can't believe my son is finally getting married! I can't wait for your wedding day."
"You guys will be sleeping in the room beside mine and I would prefer to sleep in a quiet environment, not one with unwanted noises." she warned and we all laughed.
Hold up, "What do you mean by 'we will be sleeping in the room beside yours'?" I asked, hoping she didn't mean it literally.
"She means you would be sleeping with Dimitri, dear."Olena explained. "We only have two more spare rooms including Dimka's old room. One will be given to Christian and Lissa and the other will be yours. You're getting married anyway." she continued.
Oh shit, I hope there are two beds in his room.
"What about Adrian and Eddie?" I asked. I would rather have one of them sleep with the moron holding me and I would be sleeping on one of the couches they have here.
"Oh, we'll be sleeping on the couch. We don't mind. Got to make the happy couple...well, happy!" Adrian said and I felt like clawing his face off.
"Adrian..." I said through my teeth.
He shrugged. Olena looked at the wall clock. "Oh, it's getting late. We should all go to sleep." she announced, standing up. I jumped off Dimitri, not wanting to spend time on his lap any longer.
"Yeah, before Sonya's baby hormones start to kick in." Viktoria mumbled.
I laughed as her sister screamed "Hey!"
Paul was rubbing his eyes, trying to stay awake as he said, "But I don't want to go to sleep. I want to play with uncle Dimka." he was clearly tired but he refused to go up to bed.
Dimitri walked up to him and ruffled his hair. "I'll play with you tomorrow, okay sport?" he promised as he ruffled Paul's hair.
"Okay." he replied only to be picked up by Dimitri who hung him on his shoulders only to receive an "Oi!" by Paul. "How about I tuck you in tonight? Just for my favorite nephew?" he asked.
"But I'm your only nephew. Am I? Do you know something I don't know?" Paul asked in return.
Dimitri chuckled. "Yes, you are my only nephew and you are the best little buddy anyone can ask for. That's why you're my favorite."
Paul looked exhausted as Dimitri shifted Paul so that he was now on Dimitri's back, resting his head on Dimitri's shoulder.
Dimitri walked up the stairs and I followed him. Eddie and Adrian didn't need any help downstairs and as sure as hell I didn't want to help Christian and Lissa get ready for whatever they're going to do for the rest for the night.
I stood outside Paul's room, leaning on the door frame and Dimitri silently placed him in bed, tucking him in without waking him up again. He then planted a small peck on his nephew's forehead before leading me to his own room.
When he opened the door to his room, I looked inside and exclaimed "Oh shit!"
There was only one bed. Crap. We would have to share it.
"I can sleep on the floor." Dimitri offered. Oh thank god.
He touched his right shoulder as of there was something there. "I need a shower and I really need to wash this shirt."
"Why?" I asked, feeling curious.
"Paul drooled on my shoulder." he answered and I lost it. I laughed so hard I was rolling on the floor.
"Serves you right!" I said.
"For what?" he asked.
"Nothing. I just hate you." I replied once I gained control of myself.
Dimitri groaned as he walked into the bathroom to take a shower.
I took out my sleepwear, an old shirt and short shorts. What? I thought we were sleeping in different rooms.
Dimitri knocked on the door and asked in a hushed voice, "Rose? Could you pass me my pants?"
I couldn't help but laugh. "You forgot your pants?"
"I'm sorry, I was busy concentrating on the drool on my shoulder. Now pass me my pants on the table, Hathaway." he ordered.
"No." I replied. This is FUN.
"Why?" he asked.
"Cause you have to say the magic word." I teased.
"Who are you? Barney?"
"Just say it, Belikov."
"Fine. Pretty please with cherry on top? If it helps, I'm batting my eyelashes." he pleaded.
I almost dropped to the floor laughing when I imagined him batting his eyelashes. "Batting your eyelashes? Seriously? What are you? A man or a woman?"
He groaned. "Will you give me my pants now?"
"Nope." I replied. This is ridiculously fun.
"You just want me to walk out there so that you can see me naked, don't you?" he teased.
"Oh, HELL no. Open the door, I have your pants."
He opened the door by a wee bit and I stuffed his pants in them. I hit something but I didn't really care what.
"Ouch, that was my face, Hathaway." he informed me.
"Good." I muttered.
"I heard that!" I rolled my eyes.
I threw a blanket and two pillows on the floor beside the bed, the place where that idiot will be sleeping.
I walked around the room just to see what he had. There were a few shelves all filled with books. Western books I presume. Everything else was normal. It's just a small room with a table, a chair to go along with it, another smaller coffee table and a bed.
My train of thought was interrupted by the door being closed. I whipped around to see a half naked Dimitri walking towards the area he was supposed to sleep.
My eyes widened. I've never seen him shirtless before. His muscles are huge! I didn't know if that was an eight pack or something more. I had to admit though, that he actually looks...well, hot.
"Close your mouth, Hathaway. Flies might go in. No wait, on second thought, keep them open. You might choke and I'll just laugh sadistically." he interrupted. I rolled my eyes and crawled into bed.
Once the both of us were settled down in our respective places, I stared at the ceiling. And then, I remembered something.
"Belikov." I called.
"What?" he replied, clearly feeling tired.
"What do you think Noah's going to ask?"
He stayed silent for a while before replying "Maybe just basic questions about ourselves. To make sure we're really 'in love'"
"Oh." was my reply.
I continued staring at the ceiling until a pillow hit my face.
"What the heck was that for?" I exclaimed.
"You were too loud." he croaked.
"I didn't say anything!" I defended myself.
"Then that must have been your breathing." he explained.
"What do you want me to do? Stop breathing?" I asked as he chuckled and answered "Well-"
I cut him off. "On second thought, don't answer that."
I aimed and threw the pillow.
"Hey! You hit my...sensitive area." he screamed.
"Oh you have one of those?" I joked.
I could feel him roll his eyes as he replied "Now shut up. I want to dream of you drowning."
"No problem. I want to dream of you being captured by King Kong, climbing up the empire state building and then throw you down to the ground. After that, I'll laugh my freaking ass off."
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Crap, there was someone at the door. My eyes shot open when I heard Olena's voice.
"Can I come in?" she asked.
"Uhh just a second!" I replied.
And then I realized, she thinks we're sharing a bed cause apparently we're 'in love'
"Dimitri! Wake up!" I shouted.
"Ehmmm" he mumbled and placed a pillow over his ear.
"Dimitri!" I tried once again.
He faced me, still with his eyes closed, and did the most childish thing a man could ever do. Stick his tongue out at me.
I was getting pissed. I threw a pillow on his face. Hard.
"What was that for?" he exclaimed in surprise.
"Your mother's outside the door!" I answered.
He swore in Russian. He quickly climbed on the bed under the covers with me.
"Quick! Convince your mother. Hug me, hug me!" I said quickly. I didn't like the idea but I didn't exactly have a choice.
He wrapped his arm around me and I wrapped my arms around something else. We were starting to panic
"That's a pillow you idiot!"
"Whatever!" I threw the pillow on the floor and wrapped my own arms around him, leaning on his chest.
"Come in!" we said in union.
Olena opened the door and brought in a tray of food.
"FOOD!" I screamed, sitting up and since Dimitri had a tight grip around me, he was jerked up too.
Olena laughed at us and muttered something in Russian.
"Such a happy couple." Dimitri translated. I rolled my eyes. Happy my ass. My love belongs to the waffles she placed on the table.
"I thought you might like breakfast in bed, just for today. How was your first night, Rose?" she asked.
"Oh, you know. Just peachy!" I smiled and hers widened.
"I'll leave the two of you alone now." she grinned, and left.
The two of us leaned back against the headboard and sighed in relief.
"That was close." he whispered.
I nodded in agreement. I ran a hand through my hair only to hear Dimitri complain. "Hey! Your hair is in my mouth. Yuck."
I ignored it and placed my hands on my stomach. Hold on, these don't feel like my hands. And then I realized that he was still holding me.
"Could you let go off me? I want to eat."
He thought for a moment. "Nope."
"Oh come on!" I screamed.
"You gave me a choice." he grinned.
"You never want to come in between me and my food." I warned.
"I'm so scared." He joked and shivered.
"Before I make your voice go higher, let me go." I warned again.
"And how do you propose to do that?" he asked.
"Have you ever wondered why male's voices go higher when someone kicks their balls really really hard?" I smiled.
He stiffened, and then let me go only to cover his crotch area.
I laugh sadistically and ran towards the waffles.
Oh God, they were GOOD!
There were four waffles, covered in syrup. There was also some apple juice as well. I took the tray and sat on the edge of the bed. Dimitri leaned his head against the headboard shut his eyes while I finished three waffles. I figured Dimitri was already so big and he could live with one.
Dimitri opened his eyes and moved towards me. He looked at the plate and asked "You only left me one waffle?"
I shrugged. He shook his head and ate the last remaining waffle. He looked at me and laughed.
"What?" I asked. Did I have dried drool on my face?
Dimitri reached forward to wipe something off the side of my lip.
"You have maple syrup dripping from the side of your mouth." he said, chuckling. I couldn't help but feel that tingly feeling where he touched.
Snap out of it, Rose!
I shook the thought off as I mumbled a "Thank you" and drank my glass of juice.
Dimitri looked at the finger he used to wipe the syrup with and then back at me. He grinned and wiped it on my shirt.
"Hey!"
He laughed and ignored me as he ate his waffle while I went in to the bathroom for a quick shower. After I was done, I tied my hair in a messy bun to see and brushed my teeth.
I came out and said "Your turn."
Dimitri walked past me and I reminded him, "Don't forget your pants again."
He stopped in his tracks and walked towards the table. He passed me a box of breath mints.
"Why did you give me this?" I asked.
"Your breath stinks." he answered and his grin grew wider.
"Oh come on!" I exclaimed and punched him in the arm. He chuckled and went into the bathroom as I made the bed.
The tray was gone so I presumed Dimitri returned them downstairs. I unpacked the rest of my stuff and not long after that, Dimitri stepped out.
"That was quick." I noted. "Did you even bathe?"
"Of course I did! Want to check?" he raised his armpits and started to fan the air under it.
"Oh God, NO!" I pinched my nose and ran out the door only to hear Dimitri chuckling.
I met Viktoria downstairs and decided to have a little chat with her. She was sitting next to Lissa having a chat of their own.
"Good morning!" I greeted them.
"Somebody's happy this morning." Lissa said and wriggles her eyebrows suggestively.
"Yeah. And I remember I did say something about UNWANTED noise. Emphasis on the UNWANTED." Viktoria announced.
I raised my hands. "That wasn't me."
We turned to Lissa just in time to see her blush. "Sorry." she mumbled and Viktoria and I lost it. We started to laugh loudly until Christian came.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
"Oh, we were just talking about how you guys used your left over energy last night. Sounds like you had ALOT of energy left over." I told him. Viktoria and I continued laughing as Christian blushed a little as well, clearly embarrassed.
"No wonder you guys go to the attic! Or else the dorm matron would have to file a case of noise pollution." I concluded.
Viktoria and I were happily joking about Lissa and Christian's sex life-I know, weird topic- until Olena came.
"Rose, Dimka wants you to meet him." she informed me.
"Oh, where is he?" I asked.
"He's in the back yard. Up in his unfinished tree house."
"Okay, thanks!" I said to her and left to the backyard but not before hearing Eddie complain "If you think sleeping near Lissa and Christian is hard, you haven't slept near Adrian. He farts in his sleep." I laughed and continued to make my way outside.
I saw just the floor of a tree house and Dimitri was lying on it. I walked towards it and screamed his name.
"DIMITRI!"
He was shocked as he said "Did you have to scream?"
"It's fun scaring the shit out of you." I grinned.
"Come on up here." he invited me and I climbed up and lay beside him.
