EDIT!: I just realized there was something wrong with it. SORRY! You can't really see the difference in the paragraphs in this Chapter but i'll fix it soon!
I'm so sorry it took so long!
Thank you so much for all your reviews. I shall continue my AN at the bottom.
I'm sorry for any mistakes I made.
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING BUT THE PLOT.
Chapter nine.
I walked aimlessly around the park.
There were little kids screaming and running around while others were sitting in sandboxes, attempting to make world's best sandcastle.
There were a million questions in my mind right now. Do I really want to get a divorce? Do I even want to get married? What's going to happen next? What am I going to tell he others?
So, so many questions. It all leads to only one person. Dimitri Belikov.
I sighed aloud. The major question on my mind right now is am I really in love with him?
Of course, a few weeks ago, my reaction would be "No. HELL no." but now, I'm not so sure.
I might be having second thoughts now. I laughed to myself. I can't possibly be falling for him, can I?
I mean, this is Dimitri Belikov we're talking about. I hated his guts. Hate his guts. I think. Damn it, this is getting on my nerves.
I continued walking when I felt droplets on my face. I absentmindedly wiped it away as more droplets of water fell.
They started to come faster and faster until it was raining heavily.
Oh crap, I need to get back home. I threw the hood over my head and started to make my way back.
Just one problem though. I have absolutely no idea where the hell I'm going.
DPOV
It's been about three hours. It's been raining like this for two hours and Rose is still missing.
I started pacing around the house, back and forth from the kitchen to the living room and then the dining room. I kept pacing, wondering when she will come back.
It's not like I'm worried or anything...okay, maybe I am but she's Rosemarie Hathaway. She can find her own damn way back.
But it's raining heavily. What would I tell the rest? "Oh, I left Rose and she has no fucking idea how to get back. I hate her anyway so I don't really care. Oh and guess what? It's raining heavily so she'll most probably be shivering cold right now. Oh the joy..."
Oh forget it, I grabbed my keys on the table but stopped mid way.
Maybe I shouldn't go find her. I should just leave her. I mean, she got herself into this mess. Heck, I don't even like her.
But that kiss...that was...I wanted more of it. I couldn't help myself. I had to consider the possibility of actually falling for Rose...
No no no! I can't be falling for her. I want to get a divorce and never see her face again. Heck, maybe I'll even marry Tasha!
My mental banter was interrupted by Lissa.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Oh. Nothing, princess." she glared at me.
"I mean Lissa." I quickly said. She relaxed a little and breathes a sigh of relief.
"Where's Rose?" she asked.
Personally, I don't know either. "She's probably on the way back."
"It's been two hours Dimitri." she folded her arms.
"Okay fine, maybe she got lost along the way. But she'll be back. Eventually."
"Look. I know you hate her and all but I really need your help to get your ass out there and find her." she ordered with a harsh tone. Wow. She really does care for her best friend.
I hesitated. "Now Dimitri!" she ordered once again and I grabbed the keys and left.
RPOV
My situation is absolutely perfect right now.
I'm cold. I'm lost. I've no fucking idea where the hell I'm going and I'm shivering to death.
That idiot Dimitri wouldn't even care enough to come and find me. But who cares about him. I don't.
I snorted. I did nothing but walk straight. The rain was so heavy that it was difficult to see past a few meters. The wind was blowing hard and I shivered once more.
I hate Russia. I hate this weather. I hate getting lost of all, I hate that good for nothing, idiotic, dimwitted, annoying, irritating -shall I go on? Dimitri Belikov.
I suddenly heard a car stop behind me and someone screaming my name.
"Rose!" the voice called.
I continued walking until I heard the splashing of water from behind me caused by someone running after me. I felt something warm and heavy around my shoulders. Dimitri took off his duster and draped it around my shoulders.
"Oh my God, Rose!" he pulled me close to his chest. Ah, the warmth.
"Come on, let's go." he pulled me towards the car but I wouldn't budge. I'm tired, I'm cold and I can't stop shivering. My teeth chattered as Dimitri came and carried me in his arms. He placed me in the back seat of the car and he went back to the driver's seat.
He drove for a few minutes until he pulled up at a motel.
"Wh...wha...what?" I tried to say. He ignored me as he got out of the driver's seat and came back to carry me.
He carried me into the motel and walked to the front desk. As he was in the queue, waiting for some guy in front of him to finish checking in, he lowered me down, setting me on my feet but never letting go.
He hugged me tight and rubbed his hands on my arms vigorously, hoping that the heat from the friction would help. I heard him mumble something I Russian but I had no clue on what he said.
"We have to stay here tonight. The rain is too heavy and apparently you walked quite a distance. If you walked the opposite way, you would've reached the house. But instead, you walked further away from the house." he explained. I would roll my eyes but it was too damn cold and I'm too damn tired.
Soon, it was his turn. He never let go off me as he checked us in.
"I'm sorry sir but we only have on room left." the receptionist informed us.
"It was two beds in it." she continued as Dimitri nodded.
"That will be fine." he told her as he took the key from her and thanked her.
He carried me all the way to the room, both of us dripping wet.
He gently placed me on the floor and I gripped his duster tighter for warmth.
"I'll run the hot water. You go...heat up...somewhere." he instructed as he disappeared into the bathroom.
I looked around. The room was decent enough. It had two single beds in it, a TV, a couch and a coffee table. It's not so bad...
I laid on the bed and crawled under the covers. It felt so warm...
My eyes started to close but they were interrupted by a pair of arms that carried me all the way to the bathroom.
"What the hell?" I exclaimed in surprise.
Dimitri placed me down on the cold marble floor and my feet were freezing!
"Oh stop complaining and take off your clothes."
I gave him THE LOOK.
"Obviously not in front of me. Are you crazy? Even if you were the last being on earth, I still wouldn't want to see you naked." he shivered.
"That why are you still standing there?" I smirked as he stiffened.
Rose - 1
Dimitri - 0
"Well I, umm...Just pass me your clothes later so I can hang them somewhere in the room to dry." with that, he walked out.
I peeled the wet clothes off of me and opened the door slightly. I found Dimitri sitting on the bed, shirtless and pants-less but thankfully, he had his boxers on.
I threw my wet clothes on his face. "Hey!" he exclaimed.
I grinned and stepped into the shower.
When I was done, I dried myself, got in my undergarments and wrapped myself in the robe since my clothes were wet.
I walked out to see Dimitri lying down on the bed, eyes closed. Perfect.
I crept up to him, jut checking if he was really asleep.
I stood on the bed, and started jumping like a three year old.
His eyes shot open and he abruptly stood up, scanning the area. That's it. I fell on the bed, laughing my ass off.
"I should jump on the bed more often." I said once I calmed down.
He groaned and walked into the bathroom for a shower.
I placed my clothes on a lamp, hoping that the heat radiating from it will dry my clothes faster.
I walked towards my bed, feeling so tired that once my head hit the pillow, I fell asleep.
DPOV
After I stepped out of the bathroom, I found Rose sprawlled out on the bed, snoring.
I chuckled and decided to help her. I quietly and slowly placed both legs on the bed and tucked her in.
I couldn't stop myself from what I did next. I wiped the hair away from her face and kissed her cheek.
I heard her sigh as she shifted a little, still asleep.
I stood there, looking at her for a moment. What if I am falling in love with her?
No, no. I can't. I can't fall in love with her. I hate her. But now, I don't.
To be perfectly honest, sometimes I want to wrap her in my arms and hold her close.
Snap out of it, Belikov! I sighed and went to my own bed on the other side of the table lamp. I crawled under the covers, ready for sleep to take over.
I heard light footsteps and my eyes shot open. I was about to get out of bed when it hit me. Her scent. Her wonderful scent. I shut my eyes immediately, pretending to go to sleep.
The bed sank and she laid beside me, back against mine.
I was shocked, to say the least. Why the he'll would she be doing this? I went stiff.
Maybe I should wake her up and make her go back to her own bed. Or maybe I could carry her there. Oh! Maybe I could just shove her off the bed and then fart in her face like what I did to Viktoria when I was 13. What? I was young and was stupid.
Now, those were the thoughts I would have before the proposal. But now, I simply shifted towards her, wrapping an arm around her.
I pulled her closer and rested my chin on the top of her head. I felt her shiver under my touch, probably feeling cold. I held her tighter, rubbing her arm. The friction would help her feel warmer.
I didn't know what I was getting myself into. I let out a soft laugh.
But right now, I didn't really care. I wanted her close and now I can.
I kissed her big fat head and ran a hand through her silky hair.
I remember when I made fun of her head. "Your head is so big that when you jumped up, you got stuck." Were the exact words. I laughed at myself.
I buried my face in her hair and inhaled its rich scent. I absentmindedly stroked her silky hair and went back to running my hands up and down her arm. I kissed her head and pulled her as close as I can. I hugged her tight and dug my face in her hair, in the space between her neck and her shoulder.
RPOV
When I woke up, I was facing Dimitri, my head buried in his chest and his arms around me. His lips were dangerously close to my forehead, almost touching.
I moved a little, causing his lips to come into contact with my forehead. He woke up, releasing me from his hold.
I realized I was still in his bed so I shot up, now standing.
He rose as well, but remained on the bed, sitting down.
Okay, cue awkward moment.
"I...umm...thanks for keeping me warm." I started.
"No problem." the awkward silence returned.
"You won't tell anyone will you?" I asked. I didn't want anyone to know about this. Well, maybe Lissa but not yet.
"Of course I won't. It would be an embarrassment to admit that I was in the same bed as you." he grins and I rolled my eyes.
"Watch it, Belikov. Loads of men would gladly be in the same bed as me." I informed him.
"And till this day, I can never figure out why." I rolled my eyes once more at his reply.
"I mean, you look like...that." he pointed to me, up and down.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I placed my hands on my hips.
"Oh, nothing." he sang and walked towards the window.
I decided to follow him.
The moon was shining brightly in the night sky. The stars here look amazing. They looked like little twinkling lights, completing the perfect image of the night sky.
"You know," I spoke. "I heard on the radio that the moon is supposed to be red tonight. Something to do with an eclipse of the sun and Mars. I don't know... But the moon is supposed to be red."
Dimitri faced me and raised an eyebrow.
"What colour is the moon now?" he asked.
"What kind of question is that? Are you blind?" I waved my hand in front of his face.
"Just answer it Hathaway."
"Fine. It's shiny white." I answered his stupid question.
"Okay hold up two fingers..." I did what I was told.
"Now poke both your eyes and tell me what colour you see." he finished, grinning.
"What the heck?" I smacked the back of his head.
He laughed and walked towards the bathroom for a quick shower.
I walked to the lamp where I told him to dry my clothes. I picked my pants up and realized...there was a hole.(AN: My cousin did this and there was really a hole there. It was so damn funny.)
"OH SHIT!" placing it on the lamp burned a hole. Great. Just wonderful. I picked up my shirt and there was another hole with a post it on it.
I read the post it.
I thought you might want matching clothes so I did the honors of making them match.
- Your beloved fiancé.
That's it. "DIMITRI!"
It was a long way back to the house. The only reason why it's long is because of that awful music he plays.
"I can never understand your taste in music. Seriously, some of these songs are older than me! Scratch that, MOST of them are older than me." I complained.
"Live with it." he chuckled.
"Stupid old man." I mumbled and crossed my arms. "You're worse than that monkey, Christian."
"Oh please. Christian makes me rich." he simply replies.
"I'm sorry, what? How?" I asked, curious.
"Come on. Talking monkey." I slammed my palm in my face.
"Dude, seriously. Your jokes are really..." I racked my brain. "Nope I can't find a worse enough word."
He laughed and continued driving.
He stopped at a petrol station for a while. I stayed in the car while he paid for the petrol and bought some food.
When he came back, I looked out the window and was disgusted at what I saw.
"That's...disgusting would be an understatement." I pointes to the man with a huge belly to the point that people might think he's pregnant.
"What's so wrong with that?" Dimitri asked and I looked at him as if he grew an extra head.
"He's digging his nose as if he's digging for gold!" I exclaimed.
He chuckled. "It's okay. Take the gold and put it in your bank. You're rich."
I smacked my palm on my face at his lame jokes once again.
He laughed. "You weren't there when Paul was growing up. He had a habit of digging his nose. And sometimes, he was curious about it's taste."
"EW EW EWW! I didn't need that image in my brain!" I groaned and he laughed harder.
"Men. Idiots." I grumbled.
He ignored my comment and raised a donut to his mouth. A CHOCOLATE DONUT.
"Is that what I think it is?" I asked him, afraid that I might be hallucinating.
He nodded and bit a rather large piece and chewed it slowly, rubbing it in my face.
I reached out to it screaming "GIVE IT!"
He chuckled and stuffed the unfinished donut in my face.
I had chocolate on my face but I didn't really care. I dug into the donut, savoring the delicious chocolaty taste.
When I was done, I looked at Dimitri. "You bought only one?"
He grinned. "Come on! You know me better than that!" I groaned.
"Ugh. You're so unbelievable. I hate you. So much." I folded my arms.
He laughed out loud and slammed a donut in may face.
"WHAT THE HELL?" I exclaimed in surprise.
He laughed harder. "I'm sorry. Usually your mouth is always open and it will never close. Now matter how much I try."
"Are you saying that I can't shut up?" I gave the LOOK
"Ten points to the woman who just figured that out." he joked.
I smacked his head.
He reached out to switch to a dial. Some weird music was playing.
"Oh God, greatest hits of the 80's again?" I complained.
"Nope." he grinned. "Greatest hits of the 90's!" I smacked my palm on my face.
This was going to be a LONG ride back.
Okay, there you go. I'm sorry if it's a little rushed or you thought it would be better or something. I'm sorry if i made any mistakes. I'm terribly sorry. I'm sick and i'm tired. I tried to do a DPOV this time. So, what do you think?
I swear chapter ten is ALOT better. I just finished it, all i have left is to edit it.
Anyway, to make up for it, i have a SUPER SHORT preview of chapter ten below. Just a very short one BUT you'll probably be able to roughly see what's going on... it's during Dimitri's reunion btw.
Chapter ten is one of my best chapters and i'll post it in a two days if i can finish editing it.
PLEASE REVIEW! Oh and thanks for all the reviews, i really love them. They make my day, any day. I love you people so damn much.
CHAPTER TEN:
"Dimitri held his watch to his ear. "My watch can speak. It says that you're not wearing any clothes and you're on my bed...oh wait, my watch is an hour fast". He grinned.
"Do you know what winks and screws like a tiger?" I asked. He shook his head and I winked.""
"And then, the crowd's cheers became faint. I barely noticed it because there was only one thing I could see. The look in those deep brown orbs that seem endless. His eyes"
I know, I know. Dimitri and Rose exchanging pick up lines? What's going on? well, you just have to wait and see...
