I went up and lay next to Dimitri.
Other than the chilly weather, it was actually pretty nice. We looked up and the sky was beautiful. We followed a nocturnal schedule for the Moroi's benefit and it was about sunset. The sky was filled with millions of colour variations, ranging from pink to violet but mostly an orange colour, but there were hints of blue-ish purple and red-ish orange too. The clouds were slowly moving in the sky, forming the different shapes as they pleased. I was beautiful.
I didn't know how long we stayed there in silence, just looking up in the night sky. We watched it change from an orangey kind of colour with hints of light blue, to a dark blue sky filled with millions of little twinkling lights.
Occasionally, my head would accidentally bump against his and I would smack his head or stomach or whatever. He would kick my leg in return and I was too memorized by the sky to kick back.
We grew tired of hitting one another so we would constantly bump against each other's head over and over again without any other form of violence.
Finally, he spoke. "We need to talk about the wedding. Noah's not going to let us off without witnessing and official marriage."
I started to say something but he cut me off. "No, we are not getting Christian to pretend to be a minister to marry us."
"Damn." I cursed.
He chuckled beside me and I playfully smacked him on his forehead.
"Did you know that if you hit someone's head, they'll lose their brain cells?" he tried to defend himself.
"Didn't know you had any." I faced him and grinned.
He rolled his eyes.
"Why don't we have it here?" I suggested. "It'll be nice to get married in Russia. With the terribly cold wind included."
He started to think for a moment. "That's not such a bad idea. Good job, Hathaway. I don't have any treats right now though."
I faced him. "What do you think I am? A dog? Wait, don't answer that."
We laughed and I admitted "I dreamt that you got hit by a sports car and died. And then some hot guy came out of the car. BEST DREAM EVER!"
He chuckled and replied "I dreamt that you died. As in, just...died."
"You have no sense of imagination, do you?" I teased.
We laughed and the silence came once again. To be perfectly honest, it was nice lying here with Dimitri. Out of all people in the world, I found happiness in this moment with him. Funny.
I laughed. "What's so funny?" he asked.
"Nothing. Just that I oddly find happiness with you here." I admitted.
"Yeah, me too." he admitted.
All of a sudden, he placed his hand over mine and I made no attempt to move away. Some part of me didn't want to and that was enough to convince the part of me that wanted to shove his hand up his ass.
"Dimka!" I heard someone scream from below. We jerked our heads up in surprise and ended up hitting each other on our heads, really hard might I add.
We started laughing once again and rubbed the area where our heads hit against. Dimitri looked at me in the eye and I saw amusement in his. Happiness even. His large soft hands reached out and rubbed the area on my head as well and I once again made no attempt to brush his hand
away. He made circles with his thumb and it oddly felt nice.
"Dimka! I know you're up there!" the voice screamed again. I recognise that voice now.
We both looked down to see Tasha with her hands on her hips, looking down.
"Hi Tasha." he greeted. I just gave her a wave. We both got down to properly to greet her.
He threw her arms around Dimitri once he got down and said "It's been such a long time!" he hugged her back and finally let go. She playfully smacked his arm. "Why didn't you tell me you came back?"
He rubbed the area where she smacked. "What is it with you people and hitting my arm? I think I got a bruise here thanks to Rose." he turned to face me and I stuck out my tongue.
"Answer the question, Belikov."
"Must have slipped my mind. With the whole getting married thing." he announced. I saw hurt in her eyes right away.
"So it's true then. You are getting married." the pain and hurt in her eyes was then replaced by fake happiness with a hint of sadness which she failed to hide.
"Yup." Dimitri confirmed. "To Rose." he pulled my arm closer and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Well, you're lucky to have him, Rose." she gave me a fake smile.
Lucky my ass. I snorted and Dimitri bumped me. "Yup. Lucky." I answered and bumped him back.
"Let's head back inside." Dimitri suggested and Tasha walked in front of us and entered the house first as Dimitri and I stayed behind. Once she was it of sight, he released his arm.
"I am never hugging you like that ever again." he said.
"Thank God." I mumbled.
I looked at the window to see Olena talking to Yeva and they're both looking straight at us. "Oh crap, your mother and grandmother is looking."
"Let's convince them."
"How?" I looked at him like he was crazy. If he suggests that I kiss him, I swear I will make him world's most flexible man by stuffing his head up his ass.
"Come on, hug me." he ordered.
"What? There's only a limited amount of contact I can have with you before I throw up." I told him.
"Hug time!" he announced.
He moved closer to me with arms open wide and I made an attempt to move away but he was faster.
"Ew ew ewww." I said as I wrapped my own arms around him.
"The only reason why I'm not calling you a pig is because that will be an insult to all pigs." I groaned.
"Nice big hug." he annoyed me.
"Nice my ass." I whispered against his ear.
"You know you like it." he teased. He placed his hand behind my head, forcing me to rest my head against his chest.
He was right. It was, sort of nice. "Ha! You didn't deny it. You like me hugging you."
I immediately released myself from him and smacked his arm.
"Hey! Bruise here." he pointed to his arm.
"Do I look like a care?" I placed my hands on my hips.
"As my fiancé you should."
I groaned. "Now I really can't wait to get divorce."
He laughed and we walked back inside.
Everyone was sitting in the living room making small talk. Lissa looked comfortable with Christian, Eddie and Adrian were sprawled out on the floor, Sonya was talking to Olena and Yeva and Karolina was cradling her baby girl. Paul dominated the remote control and was watching some cartoon screaming "Yeah! Kick his butt!"
I scanned the room. Awesome, they left us the love seat. I groaned and sat on one far end of his seat while Dimitri sat on the other.
"Dimka, I'm curious, how exactly did you propose?" his elder sister, Karolina asked.
Oh shit, we were not prepared for that one.
Eddie, Adrian, Christian and Lissa moved closer, holding back a laugh.
"Well, I took her out for dinner one night..."
I have to help him out..."He took me to this run down restaurant."
He shot me a look. Hey, it was an opportunity to make fun of him. I couldn't help it.
"And then I confessed that it was all a big joke and I just wanted to see the amusement in her yes..."
"Unfortunately he had his ass handed to him due to his big stunt."
He rolled his eyes. "Anyway, I then took her to the real location, which is a really nice restaurant with exquisite food. And then I gave her a tiny box..."
We continued telling the story...
"Without a ring inside." they gasped. Christian looked like he was about to lose it.
"That's because there was a key inside. It was a key to a hotel room across the street where I have prepared everything." he was trying to
save his own ass. It's so funny.
"Yup. We went to the hotel room, opened the door and..."
"I filled the bed with rose petals and candles."
"Unfortunately I hate Roses."
"Which made it more amusing because she just hates it so much. What? I need my fun too."
"And then, he looked really nervous and looked like he couldn't say a word to save his life."
"But I man-ed up and got the guts to get down on one knee"
"And then he gave me this really long speech, did I mention LONG?"
"After that, I proposed."
Everybody was more or less speechless.
"Wow" was all they mouthed.
"Okay, I don't want to know what happened next. Bed, roses, candle light...eww" Viktoria said and we all laughed.
"What did uncle Dimka do after that?" Paul asked, confused.
"I'll tell you when you're older." he mother told him.
He folded his arms, obviously cross. "But you said that last year! And I'm older AND bigger now!"
"But you're not old or big enough, Paul." Karolina said.
He humped.
I looked at Yeva and she looked like she knows something...oh crap, don't tell me she figured out that his is all fake!
Christian was on a piss-rose-off mood today. I noticed it when he said "Let's see a kiss, eh?"
"No." Dimitri and I said together.
"Oh come on, Dimka!" his sister, Sonya urged.
He groaned. "Fine." he took my hand and kissed it.
"There." he said, letting my hand down, hoping they're satisfied with that.
"Give her a kiss on the lips. You're a man for God's sake!" Adrian screamed.
Note to self: Chop off Adrian's and Christian's balls in their sleep. Push Adrian down a building. Push Christian onto a busy road. Laugh sadistically.
"No way." I told him.
"Come on!" Viktoria urged.
"Fine!" Dimitri exclaimed.
He cupped my face and gave me a small peck on the lips. It only last for a millisecond. I barely felt anything too.
"Be a man, Dimitri! Give her a real kiss!" Christian screamed.
"HELL NO!" Dimitri and I exclaimed together.
"Why?" Olena asked. She just had to ask.
"Cause...Paul's here. Keeping everything rated PG here." Dimitri answered.
"Paul! Close your eyes." his mother ordered him.
He whined. "Aww whyyyy? I want to see too!"
"Listen to that, your nephew wants to see too! Now do it!" Karolina ordered.
We both took a deep breath. He cupped my face and looked at me in the eye. Here goes nothing...
