DPOV
I couldn't believe what just happened with Rose. She thought I will be angry with her for saving my mother. How can I be mad at her? I own her a big favor right now and if she asks me anything for help, I will instantly accept. I almost lost my mother but because of her, she's still alive and im so grateful. But one thing I couldn't understand is what the heck she's doing outside her room. She's supposed to be having rest and not starving herself cookies with Adrian. When I first looked at her few hours ago, I was shocked by the look of her face. She really looked so sick and sometimes I will blame myself for no reason. I just couldn't stand there without talking to her or make sure that she was okay. Which she wasn't at all!
And then she started running away from me and I thought I did something bad. But when she started shouting on me confessing the truth and tears running down her cheeks, I couldn't bear it anymore. I just grabbed and hugged her like my life dependent on it and thanked her. But still it wasn't enough. Yet, I was curious about something she said, that she didn't want me to suffer like her. What does that mean? But I didn't questioned it anyway. I wanted to take her out for a drink to try and make her feel better but of course she refused. Honestly I didn't know what to do to grab her attention. And then that stupid asshole came up and ruin our moment. I'm still angry at him and more angrier that he allowed her to stay outside when he could see that she wasn't feeling well.
I sighed loudly as I headed to the hospital room where my mother was. I opened the door to relieve not only my mom in bed, but also Victoria. She was sitting on the chair next to the bed, talking to her. What the fuck is she doing here? I guess they sensed my appearance cause they both turned to look at me.
"Oh, honey, you are here. Did you sleep well?" my mother said.
But I ignored her question asking "What she's doing here?"
Victoria looked hurt for a moment and then she stand up to face me. "What do yo think? I came here to see my mother!" she said.
"She's not your mother" I hissed getting angry.
She sighed, "Honestly, Dimitri, will you ever give up? We are a family now, accept it already!" she said rising a bit her voice.
"Please, don't start again. Do this as a favor for me. Don't fight." my mom pleased.
I stayed quiet for a moment looking at Victoria. Is not like I hated her or something, is just that I couldn't accept her as my sister. Every time she will try and talk to me suggesting to go to the movies or hang out like a brother and sisters do, I just ignored her. I wasn't ready yet to accept her in my family and she was becoming annoying every day. Of course she can't understand what I went through and why im like this but she won't give up. I walked to the other side of the bed and took my mother's hand.
"How are you feeling?" I asked.
"Perfectly fine. They will give me a ticket tonight to leave" she said excitedly. I smiled.
"Good. I'll be coming home when I have free time to check up on you"
"No, you will stay in the university and study. I'm just gonna rest for two or three days and im heading back to work."
"I don't think that's a good idea." Victoria said. "At least have a week off."
"My dear, you know I can't just sit down home doing nothing. I don't want to feel weak."
"Yeah but try it this way. You don't want the other professors to notice how you look like if you go after only two days of relaxing." she said.
She chuckled. "I don't think they will question it. But thanks" She then turned to me. "Dimka, have you found the girl?"
My eyes widened as realization hit me, "Umm yeah."i murmured.
Her face lighten up with excitement. "Really? Oh thank god! Would you tell her to come and visit before I leave?" she said with a look of hope.
"Umm, I don't know. If I have the chance to see her again tonight, I will tell her." I said unsure.
"I'm so grateful ! I shouldn't thought of stupid things about her." she said with a look of guilty.
"Wait, what?" I was shocked. Did they met before?
She coughed lightly. "Uhh, we had a small talk last week about her causing trouble in the cafeteria. I thought she wasn't a serious girl and that she likes to play around."
If she only knew.. So, she a had a word with my mother? That's why the next time I saw her, she didn't try to cause trouble? I smirked at myself. Now for sure im going to take advantage of that.
She continued. "But please, find her and bring her here or in our house for dinner."
My eyes widened again. In our house? Rose? She will say no the first second after I asked her. Just imagining Rose with my mother talking in my house, gave me a weird feeling.
"Who is she?" Victoria asked.
"Her name was.. ?" my mom said looking at me expectantly.
"Brunn- I mean, Rose. Rose Hathaway." I said not sure if I spell her surname correct.
"Rose Hathaway? Oh my god, I know her! I just met her today while Adrian was giving me a tour of the university." Victoria said.
I stared at her. "When?"
"Somewhere around afternoon. But she wasn't looking so well. That explains why.." she murmured. Then her face lighten up again as a realization hit her. "Oh my god! She saved you? W-O-W! She's really a hero! I should have thank her if you guys told me sooner!"
"She didn't look so well? It's all my fault. I should have brought somebody with me as Dimka said. Do you know where she is now?" my mom asked.
"Oh yeah! She said she would go to that party of Adrian's friend. I forgot his name..?" she looked skeptical.
Realization hit me. "Jesse's party?" I said loudly, almost shouting. Even my mom almost jumped from her bed.
"Bingo, yes! She's going together with Adrian." She checked her watch. "She must be there right now. It's almost 9:30 ."
I was shocked. She attend that party of Jesse's? Is she insane or what? She couldn't even stand on her own feet and she went for a swim? Is she crazy? Then I realized something else. Alcohol. Jesse is a maniac of drinking alcohol all the time, it's a surprise he's not an alcoholic. He would try and give Rose a drink. Or maybe two. Or maybe three! FUCK! She can't drink alcohol. Her system wouldn't accept it since is still recovering from the blood lost. Oh my God. And I was even late myself , I totally forgot about the party.
"But she should be resting or sleeping by now, not having fun" my mom said.
I didn't give another thought as I stormed out of the room running through the exit and entering my R8 car. I couldn't allow this. Right now, Rose is in danger! If she already drank more that three cups of vodka or something, she will pass out for sure by now! And im sure she hasn't eaten anything or have a full rest. I gripped the wheel tightly and press further down the gas of the car. I had to hurry up. THAT STUPID ADRIAN, IF EVER SEE HIM IN FRONT OF ME, I DON'T THINK I WILL BE ABLE TO HOLD MYSELF BACK! How dumb is he?
After ten minutes, I parked my car in the parking lot near the beach and came out. I could see people dancing and chilling down the area where the big bar was. I quickly run to their direction and I spotted Ambrose dirty dancing with a blondie. I run over him and push the lady aside not caring if I was interrupting.
"What's wrong with you, man?" Ambrose said a bit annoyed.
"Where is Adrian?" I asked straight away.
"I don't know, the last time I saw him he was with that Rose girl swimming in the water. Why?"
I just left him there and headed where everybody where swimming down the beach. I started asking anyone if they saw Adrian or Rose but nobody knew except one guy that told me he saw him at the bar. I quickly spotted Adrian and walked behind him. He was talking with the bar man and I don't think it was a friendly talk. I speak loudly, almost shouting.
"Where is Rose?" I asked Adrian.
Adrian jumped from my sudden appearance and he turned to look at me.
"Dimitri? When did you come here?"
"WHERE THE FUCK IS ROSE?" I shouted very loudly. Everybody stopped dancing and looked at our direction shocked. You could only hear the music playing but nobody moved. I was breathing heavily and I was really frustrated.
"What the fuck is wrong with you? What is your business where Rose is?" he said getting angry too.
"It's my business. I don't think you even care about her if something went wrong." I hissed.
"What could possibly go wrong? She's fine"
"Actually I will disagree with that." somebody said. Adrian and I both turned to look at the bar man who was cleaning some cups. Why the fuck is he interrupting our talk?
"What this have to do with you?" I said to him.
"She came a while ago to for a drink to stop her headache."
"Headache?" both me and Adrian asked.
"Yeah." he chuckled. "She even thought I poison her or something."
I think I was already on the edge of anger because before I knew it, I jumped on the other side of the bar, threw his glass cups on the floor and grabbed him by his collar shirt tightly, bringing his face close to mine.
"Look , you stupid motherfucker! This is not time for jokes, okay? Unless you want to fuck your girls with half a dick, tell me one thing: What did you put inside her drink?" I hissed again.
Now, the whole party was gone and everybody stared at us. I could hear Jesse approaching and shouting.
"What the fuck is going on here? Dimitri are you crazy or what? Let go of that guy before he runs out of breath for fuck's sake!"
The bar man looked so scared and he was sweating. Yeah, keep that, you deserve it!
"I- I.. I d-didn't put anything in her d-drink. I-I swear!" he said.
"Tell me where is she!" I shouted on his face.
"Dimitri, you are out of control, calm down! Why are so worrying about her?" Adrian said.
"Shut the fuck up! I'm in the middle of a situation here." I turned back to the bar fucking man. "For the last time, where is she right now?"
"S-she said she will go to the toilets."
I let go of him and looked around me. All pair of eyes were staring at me, I could even say that some girls were looking at me with admiration. I rolled my eyes and jumped again to the other side of the bar. Without a second thought, I run through the direction were the toilets were. When I arrived, I entered the lady's room only to found out that she wasn't here.
Oh, god! This is not a good sign!
Where is she? Ugh, Dimitri think! You are supposed to be smart!
Maybe she passed out somewhere. Or maybe she left for the campus. Or lost her way. Yeah, that's it! It's the first time she came here, so she might lost her way back to the others. I stood outside the toilets, trying to figure out which way she might went. My eyes got stuck on a small dusty road that headed towards the dark trees. I followed that direction and I came out to find a long, quiet road. It was so dark since they weren't any streets lights. On the other side of the road, there was a big forest heading down.
"AAARG!" I shouted loudly from my frustration. I was really going crazy right now. I might be the next Hulk!
I started walking down the road searching through the dark. "ROSE!" I shouted while I listened to my echoes flying away. I shouted again but no sign. Then suddenly I could hear music playing which I guess it was from the party – if you call it a party now – at the far end. But it was still far. Bright lights catch my eyes from where I was looking and I could see there was a car coming from far away, giving some light to the dead area. It was driving like crazy going zig-zag on the road. I guessed it was a drunker inside. But I also recognize something else.
A figure.
Somebody was standing in the middle of the road with their hands on their face. While the car was approaching, the lights made a clear view of the figure. It was a woman with her swimwear – and I can say it looked sexy on her - with long dark brown hair.
Long dark brown hair!
Rose!
Oh my god! Rose was standing in the middle of nowhere ready to kill herself from a car? I quickly run towards her shouting.
"ROSE! ROSE, MOVE OUT OF THE WAY NOW! YOU ARE GONNA GET KILLED, MOVE!"
But she couldn't listen. She kept hiding her face and the car was almost approaching
her. That fucker wouldn't stop the damn car and he was driving like crazy. I ran as fast as I could and just in time where the car was about to hit her, I pushed her out of the way with so much force and we landed on the other side of the road where the forest was. I put my arms around her securely while we were crawling down the ground until we get to a stop when we got hit by a tree that was on our way. They only thing I could hear was my heavy breath as I panted with difficulty. Rose was pinned underneath me and I removed my arms around her. Her eyes were closed.
"Rose? Rose? Oh fuck. Rose? Please, wake up! ROSE!" I said shaking her shoulders but nothing.
Oh no!
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
Please tell me she only passed out! A tear run down my cheek as I continuously shake her but no response. But she was still breathing. I sighed in relief. I quickly pull out my phone from my pocket and called the first name I had in my contacts. He immediately picked up.
"Dimitri?
"Adrian.." I said trying to catch my breath. "Come where is this long road here, is near to your place. Just follow the way where the toilets are. Hurry up, Jesse will know the place. And also, tell somebody to bring his car as soon as possible." I said and with that I off the phone. We couldn't wait for an ambulance to come.
I stared down at my brunette.
She was so sick, why she just couldn't stay in her damn room? Why I allowed her to leave in the first place? I should have taken care of her. What a dick I am! I cupped her cheeks in my hands and whispered. "You will be fine.."
I got up and carried Rose bride style. My arms and legs were hurting me and im sure by tomorrow I will have bruises all over but I didn't give a damn. I started walking back up to the road with a lot of strength, slowly. I could feel my lungs heavy from all the running and the shouting I went through and I found it difficult to breath. I reached the road and five minutes later, Adrian and Jesse came running toward us.
"Oh fucking Jesus! What happened?" Jesse asked shocked.
Adrian just stared at both of us with wide eyes, not knowing what to do. I guess he was feeling really guilty right now.
"Did you get someone to bring his car?" I asked.
Just in time, a Volvo car stopped in front of us with Ambrose inside. He opened the window and said "Quickly, get in the car, we have to go to the hospital."
One thing I liked about Ambrose is that he will help you with anything even though he doesn't know the reason. Relief hit me and I quickly leaned Rose in the backseat of the car with her head on my lap, closing the door behind me.
"Are you guys coming?" Ambrose asked Jesse and Adrian.
Jesse was still shocked and Adrian had an unreadable expression on his face. He whispered "We will follow right behind you".
Ambrose nodded and turn the car the opposite direction, heading to the hospital. On the way back, I stared at Rose the whole time, stroking her cheek. She didn't deserve to be in this condition. And is all my fault. She should be having fun here since is her first time and all she's doing is helping others and getting herself into trouble
"Dimitri, the only think I can say is that you really care about this girl. Is the first time I see you like this." he said.
I didn't respond or anything and we reached the hospital after a while. We took her to the emergency rooms and the doctors told us to wait until they told us to. I had a small argument with them but after I gave up. I had enough for today. I was passing up and down the hallway while Ambrose was leaning against the wall with folded arms.
"Relax, Dimitri" he said.
I exploded. "How would I relax, Ambrose? Rose would be dead by now if I wasn't there to push her out of the way. And she's really weak right now, I don't even know if she's going to make it!"
"Don't say things like that. Of course she will make it. Just have faith"
"Bullshit" I murmured as Jesse and Adrian entered the hallway where we were waiting.
I turned to look directly to Adrian with anger building inside of me. I guess he sensed my anger because he immediately looked down at his feet feeling so guilty.
"I know you are really mad at me-"
"You have no idea" I cut him.
He continued. "Okay, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought her to the party in the first place. I could see that she was a bit sick-"
"A bit sick? A BIT SICK?" I shouted.
"Hey, stay quiet!" Ambrose said.
I ignored him. "Do you call this a bit sick? She gave a big amount of blood to save my mother and she didn't had a proper rest and that's a bit sick? I doubt she even eaten anything by the color of her skin!" I shouted again.
They all stared at me. I didn't told them that I had already found the person who saved my mother and now this was big news for them.
"Rose.. saved your mother?" Jesse asked in disbelief.
I exhaled loudly and said nothing. They knew everything now.
"Why you didn't tell me? I could have taken better care of her!" Adrian said loudly.
"What's the difference? You could still see how sick she was!"
"Yes but if I knew, this wouldn't happened. Instead you keep running after her without us knowing anything!"
"Shut Up!" Ambrose shouted. We all turned to look at him. "This is not the right place and time to talk about it. We are in a hospital for god's sake! Do you want them to kick us out?"
I shook my head and give a big punch on the wall at the side of me. I couldn't take this anymore. I wanted to know if she's okay, that she's alive!
Of course she is alive, you dick!
I rested my head against the wall inhaling each breath slowly, trying to calm my nerves down. Being angry doesn't help the situation right now. They all stayed quiet, waiting for the doctor to come. When he finally, after thirty minutes, walked out of the door, we all turn to face him with an expectant look.
He sighed. "She's fine" We all whispered our own 'thank god'. "But.." We turned to look at him again when he continued. "Right now, her body needs to recover from the loss of blood. We also noticed that she hasn't eaten properly all day and that makes it difficult since she has to rest first before we give her food. And.. she spent most of her energy she had left and also drank a big amount of alcohol which she wasn't allowed to."
I gave Adrian a glare while he looked down at his hands. "Can I see her?" I asked the doctor.
"She's sleeping now. You can see her but don't try to wake her up, please." I nodded quickly and entered the room.
My brunette was lying on the big white bed, paled white, dark circles under her eyes. She reminded me exactly my mother but in this case, she didn't have an injured leg. I walked slowly to the side of the room, grabbed a chair and placed it on the side of the bed. I sat down and stared at her. She looked so peaceful while she was sleeping, with her lips lightly parted. I touch her full lips with my fingers, memorizing the feeling. I instantly remembered the kiss we once shared and smiled to myself. God, she was so beautiful. She's still beautiful like always. Her hair was spread all over her pillow and she looked so much like an angel.
I kept looking at her for a few minutes before I rest my head next to hers, facing her. Her smell hit my nose and I inhaled deeply closing my eyes. I just wanted to stay here, with my beautiful brunette..
My angel..
.OoO.
RPOV
I woke up with an annoying sound on my right going beep, beep, beep! I guess it was my alarm clock. But when I tried to move my hand, it felt like I gave a lot of strength so I put it down again. But wait.. this isn't my room. I opened my eyes to a dark place with a small lamp on the side giving a small light in the room. But that's not what surprised me. There was a face inches away from mine, sleeping peacefully as he rested his head on my pillow. Dimitri..
I could smell him so strongly and I felt my body getting warmer. But what the heck was he doing here? Realization hit me when I remembered what happened. I was in the middle of a road, my vision blur, brightness, the sound of tires. My eyes widened. Oh my god! Was I about to get killed? Did Dimitri saved me? What the fuck happened? I had so many questions running through my mind but for this moment, I kept them in the back of my head. I just focused on Dimitri's face.
No wonder why girls liked him so much. He might be a player, but sometimes he can be good. That beautiful face of his, those beautiful eyes of his, that beautiful girly hair of his.. everything was just beautiful about his appearance. With a bit hesitation, I used my energy and raised my left hand to stroke his soft cheek. I felt goosebumps run through my hand as I slowly caressed his cheek.
So handsome..
He started stirring for a moment before his chocolate eyes slowly opened and looked at me. We stared each other for a while before my face broke into a grin and pulled away my hand.
"You know how to snore the hell out of me" I joked.
His face broke into a big smile and before I registered what happened next, his arms were hugging me tightly with my face buried in the crook of his neck.
"Oh thank god, you are alive" he murmured into my hair. I think he was even smelling it.
"Whoa, whoa! Get off me! Wanna crash me?" I said giggling.
He moved his arms away from me and placed his head back to the same spot he was before. "How are you feeling?"
"Good." I simply answered. "Why are you here?"
He looked right through my eyes. I shivered. "If it wasn't me, you would be dead by now."
"Y-You .. what? What happened?"
He sighed. "Brunette, a car almost hit you while you were standing in the middle of the fucking road. For god's sake, what were you thinking?"
I stayed quiet for a moment as I started to remember clearly. "If you think that I was trying to kill myself, that's totally not true." I then looked down. "I-I wasn't feeling well.."
"Yeah, I knew that. And instead of you listening to me to get a damn rest, you went to that stupid party." he hissed.
"I can do whatever I want, little girly hair. You are not my father." I glare at him.
His jaw tightened. "Do you know that you almost gave me a heart attack?"
"Let me ask you something. Why are you so concerned about me?"
He was speechless. I figured that. My eye caught the side of his skin that were covered with small bruises around his arms and shoulders. I touched his arms with my fingers, tracing them gently. He stiffened.
"What happened-" I was cut when I remembered that we were falling down the forest after he pushed me but I couldn't remembered what happened after that. I think is when I passed out. Then I realized something. When I was at the party, I didn't saw him at all. And all of sudden, he appeared when a car was about to crash on me. I looked into his eyes and I could see that he was a bit sad.
"Dimitri... You shouldn't have done that.. Look at yourself, you have bruises all over" I gasped.
"Look at your self." he said.
I looked down again. "Thank you... for saving me. I guess you favored me back for me saving your mother."
He chuckled. "It's still not enough, brunette." he smirked. "I still have to take you out for dinner."
I groaned and turned myself on the other side, my back facing him. "You will never stop, will you?"
"Not a chance. And thanks for the nice view"
"No problem" I teased. "You can leave now, im sure your honeys are waiting for your phone call."
He stayed silent for a minute. "Let them wait.." he whispered.
I turned back the other side to face him. "Okay, at least leave me alone"
"Is that how you thank me?" he said with a grimace.
"I'd already said thank you. What else you want me to do?" He smirked so widely.
Well, fuck.
"I told you. I want to take you out for dinner."
"What, like a date?" I asked.
"You can say that. So?" he waited expectantly.
"No" I smiled.
He sighed. "Please, for the lord of god, for once accept something I offer."
"Why? So you can add me on your list of chicks you are playing around? Not a chance!" I said and closed my eyes pretending that I want to sleep.
"What if we make a deal?" I heard him saying, his breath close to my face.
"What deal?" I whispered with my eyes still closed trying to control myself from being so close to him. I was afraid to open my eyes.
"You go out with me and I will stop hanging out with other girls. No flirting with others, just you"
"And why would you do that, Mr. Smart?"
He hesitated for a moment. "Because I really like you, Rose."
I instantly opened my eyes to look at his. So close. I stared at him for a moment, not knowing what to say. I mean, yeah I knew he liked me but the way he just said it right now, it was so.. emotional. His eyes were burning in mine and I couldn't bring myself to look away. I was speechless. Damn! His eyes now were staring at my lips, waiting for an answer.. or something else?
Before I could say anything, the door suddenly opened and we pulled away so quickly before we got caught.
"Rose? Oh my god! Are you okay?" I turned and looked at Victoria heading towards my bed.
What the fuck is she doing here?
"Victoria?" I said in astonishment.
Dimitri groaned when Victoria pushed him aside and grabbed my hand. "I was so worried when Dimitri just stormed out of the room running, I knew something happened. How are you feeling?"
I looked back at Dimitri in astonishment again. Stormed out of the room running? Just for me?
"I'm fine." Ugh, I was really getting tired of this word.
Just then, another person entered the room. Ms Belikov. I instantly panicked when I saw her.
"Ms Hathaway" she smiled. "So glad to see you again"
She wasn't walking so well because of her injuring on her feet. But I thought she will be angry at me or something. What was going on here with people being so kind with me?
"I wanted to talk to you but I didn't get the chance since you left from the hospital. Are you okay?" I nodded. "That's good news. I wanted to thank you for saving my life. I know it was a bit tough for you to handle it but I don't know another way to thank you but to invite you over our house for dinner. Just to show you my appreciation. Would you like that?"
I was shocked. Totally shocked! A professor that few days ago had a small argument, now is inviting you to their house. What im supposed to say now? I coughed lightly trying to think for the best answer. I totally didn't want to go to a professor's house. Especially Dimitri's house!
"Oh please Rose, come! We can have fun and get to know each other better!" Victoria said.
"I.. uhh..-"
"Don't worry. You still have to rest. We don't need to do it today" she smiled.
I looked at Dimitri who was smiling widely waiting for my answer to be positive. But I guess it was the only way to make Ms Belikov happy, isn't? I couldn't just turned down her offer, right?
"Okay" I whispered.
Victoria started screaming jumping up and down and I almost shit on my pants.
"YES, YES! Oh my gosh! We should have a sleepover!" she suggested.
"Oh no, I can't. I still have classes to attend to-"
"No, it's fine. You are not feeling well anyway so I will deal with it. Don't worry about your classes, I will talk to your professors and im sure they won't mind." Olena said.
Ugh, why these people are so good to me?
I nodded again. I noticed that Victoria was looking at Dimitri while Olena spoke like she was trying to figure out something about him. Well, on the other hand, Dimitri was smirking at me, enjoying the fact that I will come over their house. Without realizing it, I yawned and looked down in embarrassment. I heard him chuckled and I glared at him.
Wait till they go out from here and I will wipe that smile off your face.
"Aww" I heard Olena murmuring and we both turned our heads to look at her and Victoria looking at us in admiration.
What the fuck?
"Aww, do you see that, Victoria? They look so good together. Now I understand why Dimka was behaving differently these last few days"
Wait what?
Look good together?
They didn't think...
Oh, Fuck!
"Why you didn't told us earlier?" Victoria asked.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait! What do you mean?" I asked.
"Rose is just being shy admitting it in front of you guys." Dimitri said.
I really wanted to punch him right now but he was lucky I was still weak!
"Don't listen to him! I mean.. we are not what you think we are.. He's just playing with me.." I said not wanting to insult him in front of his own mother.
"Oh I know, darling. But as many people say, two people who hate each other, at the end they end up loving each other. And you two... just seem perfect! I already like you, my dear!" she said with excitement.
"Tell her, mom! Because she doesn't seem to understand" Dimitri said.
Okay, now I prefer thousand times him teasing me, than hearing his mother saying that we look perfect together. What's wrong with this family, anyway?
Victoria laughed. "Okay, let's leave her to sleep now. She still needs rest."
"I agree. Shall we? Thanks again, Rose." Olena smiled. I smiled back.
"I'm staying." Dimitri said.
I looked at his face and he was dead serious. Why he's so stubborn?
"But.. The doctor said she need to sleep. I doubt she can even sleep with you here." Victoria said.
She was damn right!
"Well, is Rose's decision." I heard Olena said.
Everybody turned their head towards me. Great! Now what should I do? Should I allow him to stay or get a peace of god damn sleep? Dimitri was giving me the cutest pout I've ever seen! Gosh, what this man was doing to me? I instantly felt sorry for him. His chocolate eyes were pleading me and it affected me so much. I could feel my heart raising is beat and I couldn't bear it anymore. Even the machine next to the bed confirmed that. Gosh, Rose, would it matter if he stays for a bit longer?
Of course it fucking matters! Didn't you already had enough of him?
But I couldn't resist that look on his face. I sighed loudly.
"I wouldn't mind if he stays for a bit. But only if he leaves soon." I glared at him.
The smile that spread across his face made my heart beat stopped.
"Hmm" Victoria smirked. "Okay then, see you guys later at dinner!" And then she left with Olena in tow but when they closed the door, I could hear their screaming of excitement. I rolled my eyes. And to think that one of them is a professor!
"So, how are you feeling?"
"How many times you're gonna ask me? Don't you see?"
"Well, I always like to annoy you" he grinned.
"Yeah, I figured that Mr. Womanizer!"
"Womanizer? A new nickname?"
"I can think of a thousand nicknames for you, little girly hair." I smirked.
"Ahh, for the first time in my life, I missed that nickname."
I laughed for the first time today and it kinda felt good. I have to admit that I was having fun with him. Not the way you are thinking! He might annoy me all the time but sometimes he will make me smile. I looked again at his bruises and my smile dropped.
"Are you not gonna take care of them?" I said pointing at his arms.
"It's nothing. You are more important." he admitted.
My eyes widened with what he said, without shame. I fake coughed and he got up to bring me some water from the corner of the room. I have to admit: he had a very nice ass! I really wanted to squeeze it and – wait, what? What the fuck is wrong with you, Rose? He returned back with a cup of water and sat on the bed next to me as I sat up drinking it all at once. I was really thirsty.
"Feeling better?" he asked.
I nodded. I stared at his eyes and he stared back for a minute. It's like he could see through my soul and I shivered at the thought. I think im reading to many romantic stories, I need to stop! He leaned closer to my face and whispered.
"So, do you accept?"
I knew exactly what he was talking about.
"Accept what?"
He chuckled. "My offer. Go out with me"
"Look, little girly hair. I'm not like the other chicks you are hanging out with."
"I know that."
"And i'm not playing games."
"I know that too."
"And if somebody cheat or do something that I totally hate, he will pay the price with a great punishment!"
He laughed at that. I really couldn't concentrate with his face so close to me. "For sure I know that
too."
"And also-"
"Brunette" he whispered leaning more closer, our noses almost touching. "I know your rules. And im willing to keep them. I won't treat you like other girls. You are special, different. And that's why I like you."
I stopped breathing. I have to get use to this by now!
"You like every girl in this town." I hissed.
"Not the way I like you" he insisted.
He continued. "I want to prove to you that you're nothing like the other girls I know. So, would you allow me to show what a good man I am and take you out for a date?" His eyes burning in to mine.
I inhaled slowly and his perfume hit my nose so strongly. I closed my eyes trying to calm myself down since im turned on now. I opened them again after a moment and stared at his eyes.
"Okay, I accept".
