Thank yall for following and favoriting. I love yalls reviews too.

The next morning I hear a phone ringing "ugh" is my only response.

"Belikov" I hear as Dimitri answers his phone.

I am listening to Dimitri's conversation only being able to hear his side of it.

"Yeah"

"Sure"

"Yeah no problem"

"Anything for you"

"See you then"

I'm starting to get suspicious and pissed off. Who is he "seeing?"

"Bye"

I feel the bed shift and I know he knows I'm awake. "Roza"

"Hmm?"

"Get up" he tells me. I don't move a muscle. I feel him get up then I hear the bathroom door close.

That just pisses me off more. Now he's not even bothering to talk to me?

I get up, get dressed and sneak back to my room.

I am almost done getting dressed when I hear a knock at the door. When I open it I am not surprised to see Dimitri. "Dimitri"

"Rose, what's wrong?"

"That depends. Who were you on the phone with?" I pout.

"Ivan, my best friend."

I immediately regret my hostility. Doing that a lot lately. "Oh, well then nothing is wrong"

"Sure" he kisses my forehead

I hear another knock at the door. I look down to check my clothes. I've got jeans and a tank top; I'm good to answer the door. When I open the door I see my dear ole dad. "Daddy"

He's smiling "Ros-" his smile turns to a scowl. His eyes narrow on my neck. He steps in and closes the door rather forcefully. I'm confused. "What?" we walk to the main part of the bed room and Baba sees Dimitri sitting on my bed. "So you're the one leaving marks on my daughters neck." Oh shit. The hickey. I forgot about it. I pale but Dimitri looks smug. "I would hope no other man has."

"Shut up" I hiss at Dimitri.

I look at Baba "daddy, please can we talk about this later."

Baba redirected his glare to me. "Why? We can finish it now."

"Baba. It's done. He won't leave any more on my neck."

"I suppose I can live with that. Obviously I know yall aren't innocent." His glare is back on Dimitri.

Baba kisses me on the forehead and leaves. I turn to Dimitri "you idiot" I say playfully. "Let's go" he stands up smiling. "Hold up" I go to cover the hickey up with makeup and finish getting dressed.

"Where are we going?" "To pick up Ivan from the airport. Cleared by Kirova. Let's go, we'll be late."

We are driving in the car when I turn to him "does Ivan know about us?" He looks sheepish. "No"

"I'm starting to think that you're ashamed of me comrade."

"Never" he says seriously.

I smile and turn the radio to pop music. I smirk when he doesn't try to change the station.

We pick up Ivan and he is a total flirt. He ran and hugs Dimitri then turned to me and kissed my hand, I little too long. I was going to use this to my advantage. I smirk inwardly.

We are waiting at baggage claim. "You are just a cute little thing." Ivan grins. I laugh and say "I know"

"You look a lot like my next girlfriend" I step closer to him "Do I?"

Dimitri clears his throat "No making moves my on my student." I van chuckles "I have that thing where girls can't get enough of me"

When we get the luggage he calls the front seat. I reply with "bullshit." I look up at Dimitri with pleading eyes. As soon as the words leave his lips in gone. "Race for it"

I have the dhampir stamina and speed so of course I win. It takes Dimitri another two minutes before he can actually unlock the doors because he decided to walk and be a slow poke.

"So Rosey Posey, why did you come to pick me up if it wasn't for my handsome face." Ivan asked

Dimitri decides to reply for me "I'm her mentor; she can't be at school without me. They're scared she'll start a riot." He laughs.

I turn a shoot him an icy glare, with Venom in my words "Ever call me Rosey again, I will end you."

Ivan paled.

When we get on the road Dimitri turns the radio on a western station. I scoff and change it to my station. "Damn, Dimka you did not just let her change the station."

I smirk and say "He did. So suck it."

Ivan laughs and says "speaking of sucking… there is a party in my pants you're invited."

I laugh but before I have a chance to reply Dimitri grabs my hand from its resting place on the console, he kisses it and says "she has plans."

Ivan smirks, he does that a lot. "I was wondering who left that hickey on her neck."

"URRGHH, DAMN IT. I COVERED IT UP WITH MAKEUP." I was angry that I failed at covering it up. After Looking in the mirror, I slump in my seat. "It came off."

I scowled. I noticed that Dimitri never let go of my hand and that our intertwined fingers were resting on my left thigh. My scowl turns into a smile.

When we arrive at the academy and make it through the security, we get out. Ivan grabs his bags from the car. Dimitri and I are standing outside the car. We start walking into the office building Dimitri turns to me "Go get ready for practice"

I pout. He kisses me for about twenty seconds then pulls away. "I love you." He says. "I love you too."

"Damn Dimka how did you get that?"

I walk away… but hear Dimitri's reply "I ask myself that every day."
