WHOOO! HERE IT IS!
A chuck of this chapter actually happened in school. In different situnations of course, like we weren't in the gym but we were in class, crapping. As usual.
Now, how about a clue of what's going to happen in the next few chapters...*cough* STRIGOI *cough*
Now that Strigoi might be involved, when the hell is Dimitri going to- I said too much. *zips mouth*
I'm sorry for any mistakes! And you can't really see the paragraphing here. I'm trying to fix that. I got a new computer cause my old on died and every time I update, the paragraphs don't show. Weird.
Anyway, here comes the disclaimer!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own the characters. *mutters* Damn.
It was time for Dimitri's reunion party. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't even slightly nervous. In fact, to be perfectly honest, I was very nervous. I know, Rosemarie Hathaway? Nervous? NOOOO...
But yes. I mean, what's he going to tell everyone? "Hey, I'm marrying her in a couple of days. Too bad it won't last long. I never really loved her so we're getting a divorce."
I really wondered what Dimitri was going to pass me off as.
I did a little bit of last minute touching up, deciding to let my hair down instead of tying it up in a loose bun.
I looked at myself one last time in the mirror.
Suck it up, Hathaway. You already said yes to him so there's no backing out.
I took a deep breath before hearing Dimitri scream "WILL YOU HURRY UP?"
"I'M COMING YOU IDIOT!" I screamed back before slamming the door closed, making my way to the stairs.
DPOV
I rolled my eyes at her comment.
"Oh wait, if I called you and idiot, it would be an insult to all the stupid people." I heard her voice.
I turned around to face the stairs to give a smartass comment.
"Well then-" I stopped. My eyes almost fell out of their sockets when I looked at her. My jaw dropped open.
Gorgeous was an understatement. She was stunning, beautiful, speechless.
She was wearing a floor length red dress that showed all of her curves. It was simple yet elegant. It looks absolutely wonderful on her.
Her silky brown hair was loose around her shoulders. I had a sudden urge to run my fingers through them. She looked so...beautiful. Perfect. Mine.
Just until the divorce, lover boy.
Some inner voice told me. I ignored it even though I knew it was true.
"Wow." I whispered.
She grinned. "Close your mouth before flies fly in. NO WAIT! Keep them open. I hope you choke on one and die."
I turned around and walked ahead, not wanting to meet her eyes.
RPOV
Dimitri was in a nice, classic suit. He had a silver button up shirt and the classic black blazer and black tie. Even though it was simple, it made him look...W-O-W
He led me outside towards the car and we took the long two-hour drive to St. Basil's academy.
Once we arrived, we walked towards the registration booth. The real reunion was held in the gym and the registration booth was outside. Dimitri registered both of us and we had to have pin nametags on ourselves.
I did mine and burst out laugh at Dimitri. He was busy trying to pin the thing properly but failed miserably.
"Here, let me help." I offered.
"Rose? Helping? What's happening to the world?" he said sarcastically.
I smacked his arms and pinned his nametag on his suit. My hand occasionally brushed his chest and I could feel the rock hard muscles underneath that suit.
As I tried to pin it on, a few strands of hair escaped from behind my ear and fell onto my face. It covered my eyes.
When I was done, Dimitri held up one hand and gently pushed my chin up till I was facing him. With the other free hand, he tucked the loose hair behind my ear.
I looked straight into his chocolate brown eyes. I would be lying if I said that I didn't feel the electricity when he touched me.
I pulled away the same time he did. "Okay, awkward moment."
"Yeah, we better..." we said in union.
"We better head inside." he finished as he offered me his arm.
I laced my arm around his as he pushed open the doors.
When we walked in, there were loads of people socializing, catching up on what they missed for the past few years. It was crowded with people.
We walked towards the food table when we saw a group of women face our way. I immediately recognize one of them. Tasha.
Dimitri must have noticed this too and he pulled me away to avoid being approached by Tasha. I wonder why...
The first thing I looked for on that table was donuts. Unfortunately, they didn't have any.
"Damn." I cursed.
Dimitri chuckled. "No donuts?"
"Don't remind me." I groaned.
We walked around and saw loads of different people.
There were an even mix of Moroi and Dhampirs.
And then, I saw one of the most disgusting things ever. There was a man who was blowing his nose in a tissue but I could see EVERYTHING.
"That's SICK! He has a penis for a nose!" I told Dimitri.
I pointed to the man and Dimitri laughed. "A penis?"
"Dude, did you see how the mucus got out from his nose? It was like PSHEW!" I tried to mimic the action, how and where the mucus travelled which made him laughed even harder.
We continued walking till a Chinese Dhampir approached us.
He shook Dimitri's hand vigorously. "Dimitri! Long time no see!"
Well DUH. "Nice to see you too Alex!" Dimitri beamed.
"Oh hey, I'll talk to you again later. The wife's calling me." he pointed to a pretty woman and the back. She waved to us and we waved back.
"Don't let me stop you." Dimitri smiled at him and he walked off.
"You have a Chinese guy here?" I said in disbelief.
"Yeah. His parents made him come here. Something happened to his family when he was young. Strigoi. His elder brother was killed and his parents thought that it would be safer to move here. He was so young and didn't remember much" Dimitri explained.
"Hey, do you know what they say? They say that Chinese have really small dicks." Hey, don't blame me. That's what I heard.
"Oh really? Then they must be really powerful dicks."
"What?"
"What's the most populated country in the word?" he asked.
"India." I answered confidently.
"China." he corrected.
"Oh...OHHH!" I finally got it and he laughed.
Just then, a lady with blonde hair walked up the stage.
"Hello?" she tested the mike.
Everyone shushed and payed attention to her.
"Good evening everyone. I hope you remember me." she said with a lighthearted mood. "It's me, Sophia Alekseev."
The crowed went "Ahh..." like it sparked a memory from a long time ago. I heard a few people mumbling "I remember her now."
"I look a heck of a lot older now. Children tend to do that to you." She explained and everyone laughed.
"Anyway, we have a short video presentation done by a few of us that we would like to show you. It's a way of remembering the good old days." she smiled once more and left the stage.
The lights were dimmed even lower and a white screen appeared before the actual video started.
There were pictures of them back in the academy. Most were during their last two years of the school according to what Dimitri told me.
There were a few pictures of Dimitri here and there and he was smiling. I have to admit, he was pretty good looking as a teen. I wonder how many requests he got for valentine's day. He was always either with Tasha or another guy.
"That's Ivan." he whispered.
He looked so happy with Ivan around. I wouldn't know what I would do if anything happened to Lissa.
There were a few photos of others when they were really young.
People started to burst out laughing when there were a few pictures of them with underwear on their heads and flour on their faces. The caption stated "Drunk"
The next few pictures were a couple of people pole dancing in their underwear. People were gasping for air now. The caption stated "Really horrible dare."
The next video made me laugh the hardest. It was a little Dimitri with a little Ivan. They looked to be about six.
"Hey, Ivan! Wanna hear a joke?" Dimitri asked his best friend.
"What?"
"Do you love water?" Dimitri was trying to hold back his laughter.
"Of course I do!" Ivan replied.
"Then you love 70% of my body!" And there was the punch line. Little Dimitri was so cute when he laughed and the lameness of the joke made the older Dimitri laughed too.
"But what happens if you pee?" Ivan asked, curious.
"That means water gets out of my body. Wait! Then you'll love me less! I have to go drink more juice!" Little Dimitri panicked and ran to the guardian baby-sitting them.
He asked her politely but impatiently. I laughed at the thought of Dimitri being impatient.
He walked towards Ivan, drinking the juice as quickly as possible. When he was done, he let out a loud "Ahh..."
Ivan giggled and Dimitri's expression changed. He covered his crouch area and started pacing back and forth.
"Dimka? What's wrong?" his curious little friend asked.
"I gotta go pee!" Dimitri answered and bit his lip.
"Then GO!" Ivan exclaimed.
"I can't!" Both the Dimitri's faces were red now. The little one couldn't hold it in any more and the older one was red from embarrassment.
"Oh you were so cute when you were little." I told him between laughs.
He smacked his palm on his face. "Don't remind me."
I laughed harder and continued watching.
The same guardian who gave Dimitri the juice box came up to him and bent down so that they were at eye level.
"What's the matter?" If a little boy continues pacing back and forth, face red and holding his crouch, there is definitely something going on.
"I gotta pee! I gotta go real bad!" Dimitri informed him truthfully.
"Okay, the bathroom's right there..." she pointed towards the right direction.
"But but but..." Dimitri bit his lip and screamed "Ahhh!" running towards the bathroom, knocking who ever was taping the video.
Everyone laughed as the video ended.
I was about to say something until Dimitri warned me. "Don't say it."
"How'd you know I was going to say something?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Oh please. I can read you like a book." he folded his arms.
"Okay, what number am I thinking of?" I dared him to guess. He'll never get this right.
"Donuts and pizza." he answered easily.
"Damn it." I cursed and he laughed.
The next few pictures were taken on valentine's day over a few years. There were some people who were seen with different partners every year and some were with the same person.
I laughed when I saw Dimitri's picture. He was hiding behind a tree, peeping from behind.
"What were you doing?" I asked while laughing.
"Hey, everywhere I turn, there was a girl who would come up to me. It was frustrating. I've no idea how they keep finding me. They already know my dorm room so the tree was my next best option."
I laughed once more. "Ah yes, Valentines day. Dimka was very popular. Even though he was already taken." said a familiar voice from behind us.
"Tasha." I greeted her with a smile. Dimitri did the same but with a nod as well.
"He was taken?" I asked, curious.
"Yup." she answered as the next picture popped out.
He was with another girl, his arms around her protectively, smiling into the camera.
"Oh, he was with you at the time." I stated the obvious.
Tasha nodded. Dimitri simply looked away, not wanting to meet Tasha's gaze. Or mine for that matter.
The slide show ended a few moments later and there was a burst of claps from the crowd. I looked around to see them all smiling at the memories.
Everyone immediately started mingling with each other and Dimitri dragged me along to meet his old friends. He passed me off as his fiancé.
When asked how it happened, he simply replied, "I fell in love. I guess it happens."
The atmosphere was joyful, people catching up with one another. I wonder if I could talk Kirova into having a reunion for us...
My train of thought was interrupted by Sophia on the stage.
"To bring back the old memories, why not we play the game we used to play at the famous parties we used to have." she beamed.
There were mixed reactions coming from the crowd. Some went "Oh no. Not this again." while the others exclaimed
"FINALLY!" the rest either smiled along or mumbled "Oh shit."
"What's going on?" I asked Dimitri. He simply smiled and replied, "Oh you'll see. You're good at flirting and insulting aren't you?"
I raised an eyebrow but failed miserably. He simply chuckled and pushed one eyebrow down for me. Both went down instead which made him laugh even harder. "That's not one of your...'many' talents."
I smacked him on the arm. "What's that suppose to mean?"
He shrugged. I hate it when he does that.
"Do we have any volunteers?" Sophia asked the crowed.
Dimitri raised his eyebrow and looked at me. "Oh no. no freaking way." I told him.
He ignored me and screamed "Here!"
Sophia immediately recognized him. "Dimitri Belikov! Come on up here. Oh and who is the beautiful woman you're dragging along?"
He smiled at her. "My fiancé."
"Belikov? Getting married?" she asked in disbelief.
"Shocker isn't it?" I told her sarcastically.
"Okay, give them a topic, any topic." she asked the crowd.
There were people screaming answers. "PICK UP LINES!" someone screamed loudly.
"Pick up lines it is." Sophia announced. She whispered to me. "You're supposed to use pick up lines on Dimka." (We actually played this in class. And guess who won? My teacher.)
I cracked my knuckles. "Easy." I said as I placed my hands on my hips.
"Give me your best shot, Hathaway." he folded his arms showing off his muscles under that tux. Pshhh show off. He can't help it. Dude had huge muscles.
"And GO!" Sophia gave the signal and Dimitri started off first.
"If I could rearrange the alphabet, I would put U and I together."
"Oh please, that's OLD Belikov. Take this." I held up a finger and motioned him to come closer. He did. "Now, if I could make you come closer with one finger, what do you think I can do with the rest of this?" I motioned to my body.
"BURN!" I heard someone scream.
Dimitri held his watch to his ear. "My watch can speak. It says...you're not wearing any clothes... Oh wait, my watch is an hour fast." he grinned.
I had to admit, that was good.
"Let's go to the desert for our honeymoon. There'll be a lot of humps and I'm not talking about the camel." I folded my arms as Dimitri raised his eyebrow.
His eyes looked down towards my legs. "Those are nice legs. What time do they open?"
I laughed. I took his hand in between mine. "Hi, I'm new here. I heard you have sex with your...privates. Where I come from, we do it with our hands."
He laughed aloud. "Do you want to touch a rabbit's nose?"
I was confused until he his hands in his pockets and overturned them, holding them up and making them look like bunny ears.
I looked down at his...thing and went "Ohhh..." I get it.
"Alright, do you know what winks and screws like a tiger?" he shook his head and that was my cue. I winked.
He took my hand and shook it. "Hi, my name is MILK. I do your body good." he winked.
I let go of his hand and laughed. "Let me ask you a question. What do you want to do? Besides me." he raised an eyebrow.
"Let's try an experiment. Sit on my lap and feel what's the first thing that pops up."
My mouth hung open. That was very un-Dimitri like. All his pick up lines were un-Dimitri like. Where did he get these things?
"I lived in a farm house before. I was trained to raise cocks."
He laughed aloud. "Have I ever told you that I have a P.H.D? Pretty Huge Dic-"
Sophia cut him short. "Okay, I think we've heard enough. Come on, who won?" she asked the crowd.
There were loads of people screaming my name but even more screaming Dimitri's.
"So I take it that Belikov won? Alrighty then." she turned to him. "Congratulations. You won!"
He beamed. He turned to me and raised his eyebrows. He looked smug. Yeap, he was boasting. Someone from the crowd screamed "Come on Belikov! Don't boast cause you won!"
I laughed but I did not expect what happened next. As I turned to face him, he cupped my face in his hands and kissed me. In public.
I was stunned. I didn't know what to do. We were in front of his friends and ex-school mates for God's sake!
But fuck it. As I started to kiss him back, he pulled away way too soon.
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 dark brown orbs that seem endless. His eyes.
