Once again, sorry this took so long. After this chapter, i'm going back to the Proposal plot. Plus, you guys can look forward to that scene when Rose will do that dance with Dimitri's grandmother. And losing her phone to a bird, hawk, flying thing with wings.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your reviews and favorites and alerts!

I decided to do a flashback kind of chapter. I'll admit, it's not as good as the previous chapters but I swear next chapter's going to be better.

Anyway, I have something to ask but i'll leave that to the bottom.

DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING.

Chapter 15

As I began to kiss him back, there was a knock on the door and it opened, causing Dimitri to jerk back.

Damn it!

"I'm sorry," said some old woman in a white coat. "Am I interrupting anything?"

YEAH! "Nope." I replied. Total lie.

"Oh good because I wanted to update you on your condition." She said, walking in.

"Rose, it seems that you have a few cracked ribs that are healing fairly quickly and a few bruises here and there. We put you on some medication that will-"

I interrupted her, "Could you cut to the chase and tell me when I can get out of here?"

"Rose!" Dimitri exclaimed. I gave him the 'whaaaaaat?' face.

The doctor laughed. "It's okay. You can leave in a few days. Anyway, I've update Dimka about your condition so he can inform you." she smiled sweetly and left.

"Hey, does Lissa know I'm here?" I asked him.

He nodded. "She's been dying to come see you but the Strigoi already know that she's here so they're waiting for more guardians to reach before she can finally leave the house." He explained.

Well, damn.

Dimitri yawned and I finally realized the red in his eyes and the black under them. He was tired.

"Hey, do you want to lay down?" I offered, shifting to give him space.

I have no idea what possessed me do that, but it seems...you know, appropriate for the moment. It seems...right.

"Now why would you do that?" he asked, face amused.

"Exactly what I thought. Now, climb up here before I change my mind."

He laughed and laid down beside me. It was a little squishy but there was sufficient space for both of us.

We were soon talking about the old times, back in the academy when I was at my rebellious stage.

"Hey, remember when Lissa signed us up for pottery?" I asked, laughing at the memory. He obviously remembers it since he laughed too.

FLASHBACK

It was a few months after Dimitri dragged us back to the academy. Sure, I was on 'good' behavior now but they still had Dimitri following me around just to make sure.

Lissa suddenly ran up to me as I was walking towards my dorm screaming, "ROSE!"

"Who said my wonderful name?" I joked and faced her.

She rolled her eyes and said, "We have to go to pottery."

"Aww but I don't want to go. I just went!" I whined.

She rolled her eyes again. "Pottery, not POTTY."

"Oh." I heard Dimitri laughing from behind me. I turned around and shot him a look. Idiot.

"Why did you sign me up for that class anyway? I know you know that I have awesome use of my hands but pottery isn't my forte."

"Ew, Rose!" She complained.

"What? At least I didn't say mouth cause if you're already having dirty thoughts when I said it with hands then imagine what would pop in your brain when I say that I do wonders with my mouth in the night during intimate activ-" Lissa shut me up by covering my mouth with her palm.

"Rose! That's disgusting!"

"Hey, you're the one who thought about it." I defended myself.

Lissa shushed me again before pulling me towards Pottery class.

Once we were there, we sat down on one of the chairs, ready to form whatever form of pottery we would like.

Let me tell you, even if it looks super easy on TV, IT'S NOT. I could hear Dimitri laughing from behind at my troubles.

Lissa was like a pro but I was still struggling. So, I decided to have fun. I formed something like a long upward, thick thing with a rounded end.

"Hey! It looks like a dick!" I told Lissa while laughing.

She "Rose!"-ed me but do I listen? Of course not.

I mashed it all up and then made a small, thin stick. "Now it's Christian's penis!"

"Rose!" Lissa exclaimed.

I simply laughed and said, "Hey, I've been sucked in your mind too many times. I know how it looks like. And what they say about the bigger shoe size, the bigger dick? Yeah, Chrissy may be a big foot but his thing looks like an acorn."

Speak of the devil, and the devil shall appear. In came Christian the nitwit.

"What the hell is that?" he asked, pointing to his dick. I mean, my masterpiece. Oh my god, that just sounded so wrong in so many ways.

"That." I said, pointing to the area where the male body splits.

"You've got the whole thing wrong." he said, folding his arms.

I thought about it for a moment. "You're right." I agreed. His eyes widened.

"You're agreeing with me?" He said in disbelief. "Who are you?"

I grinned as I smashed the clay to make a flat area. "It was wrong. I forgot that you don't have one."

"And the devil is still here. Damn it. And for your information, I do have a dick."

I rolled my eyes. "Oh please. I wanted to castrate you with a spoon the other day but it was so small I couldn't find it. Oh yeah, cause it was non-existent."

"Rose, stop being a bitch." Lissa tried to defend her boyfriend's pride.

"Hey! I am not A bitch. I am THE bitch." I joked.

Christian nodded, agreeing with me. "World class bitch." he added.

END FLASHBACK

"Yeah I remember that." Dimitri said, chuckling. "You wouldn't stop bickering with Christian."

"We still bicker. And I stand by that statement saying that he has a tiny dick. It's there...somewhere." The whole bed shook as Dimitri chuckled once again.

"Remember when Lissa and Christian were on a break and lied to each other about their imaginary dates to some party your classmate was having?"

I laughed at the memory. It was so stupid. Of course I remember.

FLASHBACK

Dimitri and I were walking towards Lissa's dorm when she was storming towards me. Shit, I think she figured that it was me who mixed up all her shoes together and hid her favorite ones under the bed.

On the other side, Christian was storming towards me. Damn it, he cleaned that make up off his face I drew when he was sleeping. I knew I should've used permanent markers.

"ROSE!" the both of them screamed in union.

They met somewhere in the middle, and stopped in their tracks. Crap, I wished they were still together. They can be all lovey dovey and forget all about killing me cause they'll be too busy having sex in the attic where they would start to rip each other's clothes off and get all butt naked- okay ew. Back to topic.

Christian looked at Lissa. Lissa looked at Christian. Dimitri looked at me. I looked at Dimitri. Dimitri and I had the 'this-is-awkward' look. Then I wanted to throw up cause I looked at Dimitri for so long.

"Lissa." Christian acknowledged her presence.

"Christian." Lissa nodded towards him.

"Rose!" I screamed and the trio looked at me. "What? Looks fun. Now you try! DIMITRI!"

Dimitri shot me a shut-up look. "Okay, fine. I'll call you by your nickname. Nincompoop!"

He shot me a death glare.

"What? Do you need me to translate it in Russian?"

Suddenly, his shut-up look became shut-the-fuck-up look.

"Shutting up."

"So...Lissa, are you going with anyone to the party?" Christian asked, genuinely concerned.

"Yeah! I am. It's this guy, you don't know him." I stared at her wide eyed because she did not have a date. She's been too busy complaining to me how stupid Christian is. Okay, she listened to me complain how stupid he is.

"Oh. What's he like?" Christian asked, interested."

"Oh you know, he has...a chin...right below his mouth...and...a neck...in between his shoulders..." she stammered. She's horrible at this.

"How about you?" she asked Christian.

"Oh. I'm taking this girl..." he looked nervous.

"What's she like?" Lissa asked.

"Oh...she has umm...hair...right on top of her head...and eyes...two of them...right above the nose..." Wow. He's just as bad as she is.

Total. Silence.

"Awkward..." I said.

"So let me get this straight." I wanted to clarify. "Christian is going out with a girl who is not bald and also not a one eyed Cyclops?"

Christian nodded. "And she has a way with words too."

"Oh she can talk! Yeah! That narrows it down." I rolled my eyes.

"And...Lissa's date has a mouth...and shoulders..." I asked her.

She nodded. "He's a good listener too."

"Oh! And he has ears...now we know."

"Yeah I'm going to go..." Lissa said and left.

Christian sighed and drank from a bottle of apple juice.

"Where did you get that?" I asked him.

"It was outside my room. Why?"

"Umm...that's not apple juice..."

He sprayed the whole thing out.

"I'm just kidding. It's pee."

"Very funny Hathaway."

"No seriously. It's pee."

He shot me a look.

"Okay fine. It's just apple tea."

"Thank you for telling the truth."

"I didn't say it was the truth."

"But it isn't pee...right?"

I whistled and walked away.

END FLASHBACK.

I laughed at the memory with Dimitri. "It was really apple tea." I told him.

"Yup. I bet you couldn't even say a word in Russian." He dared me.

"Hey! I can speak Russian." I smacked his arm.

"Say it then."

"Russian." I confidently said. I could practically hear him roll his eyes.

"I can speak Japanese too!"

"Rose..."

I said it anyway. "Toyota. Tokyo. GODZILLA!"

Dimitri couldn't stay serious since he ended up laughing in the end, shaking the whole bed.

"It's nice to see you not-so-serious like this." I told him.

"Hmm?" he asked.

"You know, care free, laughing. But I could do without the mini-earthquakes. My ribs still hurt." I explained further.

"Mini-earthquakes?" he questioned.

I gave him the look. "Nyehehehe!" I imitated his laugh and then shook the bed.

"I do not sound like that!" he defended himself.

"Yes you do."

"That laugh makes me sound like a girl."

I shot him a look that said DUH.

He rolled his eyes at me. "Rose, Rose, Rose..." he tsk-ed.

Suddenly, he grabbed my hand and started playing with my fingers. Now that took me by surprise. I didn't do anything else. I just let him play with my fingers only to lace them with his later on. I didn't do anything else. Partly because I didn't want to.

"Hey, remember that time we went to play golf?" I laughed at the memory. Of course I remember.

FLASHBACK

I looked at my watch again. We were all here, Eddie, Adrian, Dipshit, I mean, Dimitri and I. Alberta was waiting by the car with Satan. Or more commonly known as, Stan.

I got so frustrated from waiting for Lissa and Christian that I dragged Dimitri up there. What? I was on probation which entitled to my own body guard. Okay fine, maybe not a body guard. But more like a 24/7 human surveillance camera.

I was about to knock on the door when I heard them.

"Lissa, pull my finger."

After a few seconds, I heard a high pitched scream.

"I said my finger..." Christian said in pain.

"Oh." I heard Lissa apologize.

Before they started pulling clothes off instead of anatomies, I vigorously knocked on the door.

"Will the naked people please step outside the room and head towards the car. If you fail to do so, I have Godzilla out here with me who will fart the door down and drag you out." I screamed into the door.

Dimitri looked confused. I pointed to his dirty green shirt. He rolled his eyes.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six- oh crap this.

"Godzilla is about to turn into the Hulk. GET OUT NOW! I swear I will call Adrian up here. He produces stronger farts." I screamed again.

The door opened. "Oh look, Rose went through almost six minutes of silence. That has to be a miracle." Christian joked.

"You know what would be a miracle? If any left over sperms can help her produce a baby after I cut out your penis with a freaking spoon." I threatened him and walked away only to hear Lissa giggling and curses from Christian about chopping off MY balls instead.

Once we got in the car, it took us about three hours to get to the golf course.

Soon, we were set up, we were ready to roll. Stan and Alberta were surveilling the area from afar whereas Dimitri stayed close.

*Cue theme music and guy with deep voice saying "Time for Hathaway's jokes!"* "Do you know what's the difference between this bucket of balls and Christian?" I asked, holding up the silver bucket.

I answered before anyone else told me to shut up. "This bucket has balls. Christian doesn't."

I smiled at Christian while he had the I-will-kill-you-literally-KILL-you look.

Christian was up first. He took a ball, placed it on the ground and said, "Watch and learn." he wriggles his eyebrows and winked at Lissa. Ew.

He had his legs spread out, back straight, and then, he swung the golf club and...then he covered his eyes from the sunlight and looked ahead, trying to spot the ball.

Now, who noticed the only thing missing? Yup, it's the BAM! sound you hear when the club hits the ball.

I looked down and laughed. "I'm watching and I already learned that Christian is an even bigger idiot than I originally thought he is."

The others looked at the ground and laughed. The ball hadn't moved an inch.

Christian grumbled and got ready to take another swing.

After a few holes, Adrian was in the lead. Yup, impossible to believe but he is indeed, leading.

Adrian stepped up to take his next shot. He took and deep breath and BAM! he hit the ball hard.

After a few seconds, he screamed "BIRDIE!"

"I may be an idiot at golf but the was not a birdie." Eddie said.

"No, I hit a birdie!" Adrian said gleefully and grinned. Sure enough, there was a dead bird in the ground.

"We are never bring you to the bird park. Ever." Eddie added.

END FLASHBACK

"Adrian's such an idiot." I said, laughing.

Dimitri nodded in agreement. "I can't argue with that." he chuckled, causing the whole bed to shake again.

"Oh! Remember that time when Paul saw the two bugs having sex?" I tried to trigger the memory from that day in the park.

FLASHBACK

"Hey uncle Dimka! What're they doing?" Paul pointed to two insects, ladybugs to be exact, that were being...intimate.

"Um..." Dimitri turned to face me with the 'help!' look on his face.

I shrugged my shoulders. I mean, how else are you going to explain sex to a kid? They're playing leap frog? Yeah, that must have been some leap. They're having fun? Hell to the yes. Wait. I got it. They're being the good bugs they are, helping to populate the world.

"The ladybug is pushing his friend up the hill." Dimitri finally explained. I almost sprayed my drink laughing. Yeah, I bet it must be a really fun ride for his 'friend'

"But where's his friend?" Paul asked. Well, at least he got the 'he' part right.

"Umm...under him." Dimitri answered.

"I can't see him!" Paul complained.

"I don't think you want to see that," I interjected. "Oh look! There's another playground there. Do you want to go?" I changed the subject. Paul nodded vigorously and ran towards the playground.

"Thank you." Dimitri breathed out.

"You owe me." I reminded him.

END FLASHBACK.

"You still owe me." I told him.

"I'm pretending to be engaged to you aren't I?" he raised an eyebrow.

Yeah. Pretend. But what if I don't want to pretend anymore?

I could barely feel my numb hand now that is still laced with his.

He noticed how my attention diverted to our hands. He tried to pull his away, thinking that I didn't want to touch him but I just held on to it tighter. He smiled, raises it up, and kissed the back of my hand.

That made me smile. I wanted to ask him about that kiss. Was it just a way to get me to shut up or did be really want to kiss me?

Suddenly, the door burst open and Dimitri jerked forward.

"ROSE!" Lissa screamed. Dimitri climbed off the bed while she ran to hug ms carefully, making sure she didn't injure me further. I was sure as hell didn't want to stay here longer.

Christian, Eddie, Adrian and Dimitri's mother came rushing in after that.

Paul came rushing in as well. "Hey Aunt Rose! I know how to make you feel better." He announced.

"Want to hear a joke?" He asked.

Oh God. I nodded anyway.

"What are iPads for? iPeriods!" he exclaimed and giggled afterwards.

I shot a death glare towards Christian. "Stop teaching him lame jokes!"

"I didn't teach him that!" he raises his hands in defense.

I looked towards Adrian who had a guilty face.

Before I could scream at him, Paul interrupted me. "Uncle Christian said you have a TLC."

"Tender Loving Care?" I clarified.

He shook his head. "Tiny little cunt."

Eddie almost sprayed out the water he was drinking.

I shot another death glare to Christian.

"What's a cunt?" Paul asked.

"Umm..." The door burst open. Thank. God.

The next person who walked in was a surprise. Alberta came in.

"Alberta?" I thought aloud.

"Yup. I'm the additional guardian they sent over." She smiled. "But I'm not the only one." She added.

She moved aside the let whoever enter the room. If Alberta surprised me, the next guardian gave me a heart attack.

"ROSEMARIE HATHAWAY!"

Oh shit. I turned to Dimitri who had the same look as mine.

We. Were. Doomed.

Alrighty, about next chapter, I need a favor. Since Rose is going to do that dance thing scene thing with Dimitri's grandmother, she needs a song to dance to, much like the movie. Any suggestions?

Who can guess who's the mystery guest?

Anyway, PLEASE REVIEW! THANK YOU!
