"WHAT?"
"I know, right?"
"You are kidding, right?"
"Do I sound like im kidding?"
"OH EM GEE! YOU ARE GOING TO DIMITRI'S HOUSE!"
"So unlucky.."
"Unlucky? Gosh, do you know how many girls wanted to go there but they couldn't because of his mother?"
"Pff, it's not like it's something special. I'm just gonna have dinner, sleep and leave straight away the next morning!"
"Oh, no! You have to explore the house and tell me how it looks like! OH! And check Dimitri's drawer!"
"I thought you are not interested?"
"I'm not but that doesn't mean I can't know what are his boxers look like."
I laughed. "You are one of a kind, Liss. Do you also want some pictures of his looney-tunes boxers?"
She gasped on the other line. "He has?"
"I don't know but if I found out-"
"Yes! Take pictures! I will hang them all over the walls of the university for a great view!"
"Yeah, right. On the other hand, Christian wouldn't like that."
"Well, it's a great way to make him jealous." She paused for a moment. "IM COMING!" she shouted and I pulled the phone away from my ears. Gosh, she had a voice. "Look, I gotta go. Natalie just can't be patient. Remember, you should tell me all the details!"
"I will, I will. See ya." I said and hang up.
I turned around only to find Olena standing opposite the hallway, looking at me smiling. I smiled back. I hope she didn't listen to our conversation. I was still in the hospital but it was the day I will leave. But not back to my room, to Dimitri's house! I still couldn't believe it myself. I will have a sleepover there with Victoria and tomorrow im returning back to the university. But the problem it wasn't that I will stay in their house with Victoria. The problem is that Dimitri will be also there to stay for the night.
Bastard!
"Are you ready, my dear?" Olena asked.
Since Olena knew about me saving her, she was so kind with me. Nothing compared to the attitude she had the first time I met her. Deep down, she was a very kind, lovely woman. She will come every three hours in my room to ask me if I was hungry or if I was feeling fine. I was alone since Dimitri went to attend to his classes. It was even me who pushed him to leave.
"Yes." I said grabbing the small bag beside my feet. I was wearing new clothes that Olena gave to me since my clothes were a mess. I signed. Lissa will be very angry after she'll hear what happened to the swimwear. Such a waste. I didn't tell her anything that I was almost killed by a car. I just told her that I had fun in the party and I felt dizziness and I found Victoria whose suggested to sleep in her house.
Olena and I headed outside the hospital and found a taxi waiting for us. We climbed inside and take off the highway.
"Do you like my son?"
I was astonished by her sudden, out of blur question.
What the fuck?
"Uhh.." I didn't even know the answer myself. Did I like him?
Oh, of course you like him, stupid. Don't you feel those goosebumps every time he's close to you or touching you?
No, no, no, I don't like him! I mean, who likes a type of guy like that?
Olena was looking at me expectantly. I replied with a simple answer. "I don't know"
She half smiled. "Well, I just wanted to tell you that Dimka, is not a bad person as you think he is." Yeah, you are the second person who said that. She continued. "Deep down, he's a very caring and good person. He obviously cares about you, Rose. I never saw him like that before. He may tease you all the time but I can see by the look of his eyes that he really admires you. Do you know how long I've been waiting to see a real smile on his face? Every time he looks at you, it's like he just saw an angel or something. Don't let him down okay? At least, be friends. That's enough."
I stared at her with widened eyes. I didn't know what to say so I just nodded. She fully smiled and stayed quiet. Then I remembered.
"Why are you calling him Dimka?" I asked.
"Oh, it's he's Russian name." I threw a questionable look. "I'm from Russia. I came here when I was 10 years old since my parents decided to move so that's why I know so well the English language. But I still call my son by a Russian name."
"So, he's an American but originally he's a half Russian?"
"Yes. He was born here but we go on holidays every two years to Russia."
"Does that mean that he knows how to speak the language?"
"Of course he knows. He just don't do it very often. He's used to English language."
"Oh" was all I said.
Oh my god!
Imagining Dimitri speaking Russian made myself turned on. Wow. So he was a half Russian. I hated Russians to tell you the truth but now that I know he's one of them, I think I begin to like them.
After thirty minutes, we arrived. I opened the door and my mouth went hang open. Their house was huge! It was two-floor house but a big one. [Picture in my profile]. I knew Dimitri was rich but.. not that rich! Even my own house, back to my country, was three times smaller. Olena put her hand on my back gesturing me to go ahead. When she opened the door, my mouth hang more open if that was possible. The living room was designed with wood floor, shiny white walls, different paintings all over the corners, some very expensive sofas which you could tell from the material, a big HD flat screen TV and everything else you wanted to imagine in your own house.
Simply wow!
"Do you want something to drink?" Olena asked.
"Uhh, sure. Water will be nice."
I followed her to their kitchen - which was also big – and sat down on one of the chairs in the dining table. This place was heaven. Olena gave me a cup of water and I thanked her. She sat beside me.
"Surprised, huh?" she laughed.
"Your house it's beautiful, Mrs. Belikov. I wish I had a home like that. Did you design this house?"
"First of all, stop calling me with my professional name, just Olena. And second, yes. I liked to design houses when I was small and promised to myself that when I will be able to have a family of my own and a house, I will design it with all my skills. I just like to feel that this is my home with my decoration." She winked.
"That's beautiful" I smiled.
"Well, my husband and Dimitri are already getting tired of me buying new stuff every time for the house. I'm sure I will finish our money before I turn to my 80's." she chuckled.
Holy fucking shit!
Her husband!
Oh fuck!
I totally forgot that the headmaster of our university is living here. She must have seen the panic look on my face because she rest her hand on mine.
"Relax, Rose. He's a good man. Nothing to worry about. There's not big deal."
"Does he.. does he know that I.. i-"
"He does but he hasn't met you in person yet. He only knows your name."
I nodded praying that when he will arrive here, the earth will open a big hole and swallow me down.
She continued. "Look, why you don't go and rest in the living room while I start preparing the dinner? I think Victoria is at the library now but she will come soon. Oh, even Dimitri will come sooner. So, don't feel uncomfortable."
"I can help-"
"No, no, no. I owe you and I want you to eat the best food you ever ate besides your mother cooking." she smirked.
Wow, she really looks like Dimitri now. I smiled to myself.
"Okay." I said and got up from the chair, heading to the living room.
I started looking at the paintings on the wall, admiring them. They were so unique. My eyes caught the side of a picture standing on a small table at the corner. I took it and had a closer look. A small child playing in small swimming pool with a ball in his hand smiling widely. Of course, is Dimitri. He looked so cute. I rest my fingers on his face wondering where this beauty came from. Even when he was a child, he was handsome. I put the picture back to his place and sat down on the sofa beside it. I closed my eyes and rest my head on the back of the sofa.
What a day...
My eyes started to get heavy and I fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, I was leaning down with a blanket on top of me and my head on the arm of the sofa. But that's not what surprised me.
"HOLY FUCKING MERCILESS SHIT!" I screamed and sat up in a great speed. Dimitri's fucking face was right in front of me, like two inches apart with a huge grin on his face. Well, if you think about it, of course you will shit on your pants when you wake up with a face in front of your own face. He started laughing and fell down on the floor. I glared at him.
"Do you think is that funny? You scare the hell out of me!" I said rubbing my eyes.
He was still laughing.
"Oh my god! Haha! You should have seen your face when you opened your eyes. Haha!"
"Shut up!" I said removing the blanket from me. "What time is it?"
"It's seven." he said getting up and sat next to me. "You slept for at least three hours."
"I didn't even realized that I was so tired." I murmured.
"You were so cute" he whispered leaning a bit closer to me.
I didn't say anything but when he said that, it makes my body to wake up like electricity just hit through me. I coughed.
"Do you blush that easily when somebody is complimenting you?"
"What? I'm not blushing!" I touched my cheek. I could feel the heat.
Great!
"You're sure an open book." he smirked.
Just then, Victoria came running down the stairs.
"Rose! You woke up! How are you feeling?" she said sitting on the other side of me. I could sense that Dimitri didn't liked her company. I should ask him later the reason, even though im sure he won't tell me.
"I'm fine now. Actually-" my stomach growled. "Starving" I whispered looking down at my lap.
They both chuckled. "The dinner will be very soon ready. Wanna show you my room?" she said with excitement.
"Umm, okay." I smiled.
"Great!" She grabbed my hand and started running towards the stairs with me almost tripping over my own feet. Dimitri just glared at Victoria but she just ignored it.
We went to her room and I could say that it was beautiful. Light pinky walls, a huge king bed - for god knows why she need it so big – a flat TV opposite the bed and a small balcony on the other side. Victoria sat on her bed and gestured me to sit beside her which I did.
"Do you like it? There's not much but this is how I like it."
"I love it. You guys live in a palace." I chuckled.
She laughed. "Yeah, I wish it was true. That's what I used to say to my father when I was small, that I wanted to live in a palace. But when we moved here, I loved it so.. forget the palace thing."
"When did you moved here?"
"Just last year, I still can't get used to it"
"Where did you guys were living before?"
"Chicago. We had a small house but since my father got remarried, we moved. But I still miss my friends though." she said with a half smile.
Wait, what?
Remarried?
She must have seen my confused look because suddenly she changed the subject. I think she said something she's not supposed to and she instantly regretted it. I will get back to you later, lady.
"So, um you are new here, right? You will love it here. We should go for shopping one day"
"Oh, no. No shopping again! I already have Lissa on my head."
"Lissa? Oh you are friends? You really are fast on getting to know others."
"It's them, not me." I chuckled.
We chatted for a little while before Olena called us for dinner. We walked and sat down on the table while Olena was serving the food. It smelled delicious, though. Dimitri came after a minute and sat next to me.
"Sorry but I don't think Jake will be able to make it to dinner. He has some work to do so is just the four of us." she said.
"Thank god." Dimitri murmured.
Olena shot him a glare and an apologetic smile to me. I just waved it away. We started eating and boy.. the chicken was delicious! She sure has skills of cooking!
"So, Rose, what are you studying?"
"Umm., actress"
"Really? So that means you are in the same class like Dimitri right?"
I nodded.
"Oh, what a luck! Both studying the same course. You two are made for each other."
Both Dimitri and I chocked on our food and I almost spit everything out. Victoria on the other side started laughing hard.
"You guys, when it comes to you two, you always seemed surprised on what we are saying"
"Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to say it out loud." Olena apologized.
"It's okay. It's just..." I didn't know what to say, honestly.
"Gosh, relax. She was just kidding" Victoria said like she didn't actually meant it.
Then something was touching my knee that run goosebumps through my body. Dimitri's hand. I quickly removed it from there but he insisted. I shot him a glare and he smirked back. Olena and Victoria started talking about something for high school and Dimitri took the chance to lean over my ear and whisper "Are you going to deny that you like it?"
"I have nothing to deny because simply is the truth." I lied.
"Hmm.." he murmured and started raising his hand a bit higher.
Without thinking, I sighed by his touch. I instantly regretted it. I could feel Dimitri smiled before he pulled away and shot a piece of potato in his mouth. But he kept his hand on my knee and for some reason, I just left it there. I mean, I agreed to date him, it wouldn't hurt if he touched me small, right? Ugh, im going crazy here. The feeling of his hand touching my knee and drawing small circles wasn't helping at all to concentrate on what Victoria and Olena were discussing about.
Finally, the dinner was over and Victoria dragged me to her room so she can give some pajamas to wear.
"They should fit you. I used it when I wanted to seduce one of my ex's. You should wear it." she smirked. You call that a pajama?
It was a cotton, white material with black dots and some pink tapes at the corners with a wide opening on the chest. Oh and the best of all, it was way to short. [Picture in my profile]
"You expect me to wear this? In your parents house?"
"Nobody will see you. I mean you are exhausted anyway. You have to change your clothes."
"What if I want to go drink water or something?"
"Right now, my parents will go and sleep. They barely wake up in the midnight."
I sighed loudly and grabbed the "pajama" and changed my clothes. I could say that it looked cute and sexy on me. Victoria whistled.
"Wow, you got a smokin body, honey. Boys like this kind of clothes."
Of course they do..
"Did you wore this in front of your boyfriend?" I asked.
"Uh huh! He almost ripped it off me before I stopped him." She giggled.
My eyes widened. "You are not a virgin?"
"Shhh! No, im not." she whispered. "Is that bad?" she asked with an innocent look.
"No, no. Of course not. Is just..- How old are you?"
"Rose, im not a child. I'm seventeen. This is my last year of high school."
"Really? I didn't know that. You look more-"
"I know, I know. Everybody says that." she yawned. "Do you wanna do something before we sleep? I don't want you to feel uncomfortable. We could watch a movie or something."
"Sure, why not?" I smiled.
For the next two hours, we grabbed pop corn and watched Paranormal Activity which was the scariest movie I had ever seen. I almost shit on my pants. But I had fun with her. We were laughing and throwing pop corn on each other faces sometimes. She was such a good girl.
Before we knew it, it was already one o'clock in the morning and we both fell asleep on the same bed. Well.. she fell asleep. I couldn't sleep. I had enough sleep in the hospital and I few hours ago and my eyes were wide open. I sighed and got up from the bed, cleaned all the leftovers, grabbed the empty bowl and headed downstairs quietly. It was so dark here, so in the kitchen I turned on the lights and put the bowl in the sink, cleaning it up. While I was cleaning my hands with a towel, I felt a stare behind my back and turn to look at Dimitri standing on the door side with wide eyes and a slightly hanging mouth.
"FUCK!" I jumped and dropped the towel on the floor. "Gosh, how many times you are gonna scare me today for god's sake? You look like a zombie over there!" I said angrily.
He blinked for a few times and I noticed that he was checking me out. I looked down at myself and realized that I was still wearing Victoria's "pajamas" and I blushed.
Great! Now you left Dimitri with a mouth hanging open.
Not that I don't mind.
Wait what?
What the fuck!
You are going crazy here, Rose.
He was wearing some gray, long pants and nothing on top.
Nothing at all!
I think im getting aroused. His body was muscled with no hair, except the lower stomach which there was a very small line of hair going down there. I fought the urge to lick my lips.
He still didn't said anything so I jumped in. "See something you like?" I asked repeating the same question he asked a few days ago.
"Lots" he simply said.
I blushed again and turned around to grab a cup of water. While I was drinking it, I felt a small movement behind me and a hand reaching the fridge next to me, opening it. Fuck, he was teasing me. He opened the fridge and grabbed a small bottle of water and drank it all at once. I could see his Adam's apple going up and down and I couldn't managed myself. It started getting hot in here.
"Why are you awake?" he asked.
"Um.. couldn't sleep. I already had enough." I answered placing the cup on the counter.
"Me too. Especially when you have a girl like you sleeping in your own house." he grinned.
"Yeah.." I murmured. "Many boys said that to me." I teased.
"Oh yeah? Well, I mean it."
I just chuckled. He moved closer to me and put his arms around my waist.
"Wanna do something together?" he whispered beside my ear.
I tried to keep my breathing normal. "No, thank you." I said pulling away. "You have your chicks."
He sighed. "Rose, didn't I said that I wouldn't call any of them? I thought we had an agreement."
"Yeah but that doesn't mean that I can trust you."
"Believe me. And when I said if you wanna do something together, I didn't mean that. Like watching TV or something."
I raised my eyebrows. "Yeah, right. Like you can control yourself from not touching me."
"I will try my best."
"Okay, then. Let's go and watch cartoons." I said and run to the living room and turning on the TV. I flipped the channel to Cartoon Network and sat down on the sofa.
"You are kidding, right?"
"Nop"
He sat beside me and leaned his head back. "You are surreal."
"Surreal? Ha! Just shut up and watch."
I giggled at some parts and I could sometimes feel Dimitri's stare on me but I tried not to look back. Our shoulders were almost touching and I tried to ignore the feeling. After a few minutes, Dimitri started chuckling too at the funny parts and I was glad that he was enjoying it.
"Tom is soo stupid" I said giggling while Tom banged his head on the door while he was trying to catch Jerry.
"Sometimes he's smart."
"You are Tom. I'm Jerry. You will always try to catch me and I will always find something to throw at you." I laughed.
"So im that stupid?"
"Of course you are."
He turned to look at me with a shock look and that made me laugh harder.
"Well, you might be that smart, but you are still a small, little rat."
"At least I have a brain."
He started tickling me and I tried so hard not laugh loudly before I wake up the whole house. But he wouldn't stop. I leaned back on the sofa and he crawled on top of me still tickling me.
"S-stop! I- I cant- haha! Stop it!"
"Apologize and I will stop" he said but he has that huge smile on his face.
"No way!"
He tickled me harder and I gave up. "Okay, okay! I'm sorry!"
He stopped and before I knew it, his face was inches away from mine. Really, the fact that he was this close, his body between my legs, on top of me half naked and both laying down on the sofa, It wasn't helping the situation at all. Those eyes were burning against mine and I couldn't bring myself to look away. The room was dark and only the light from the television was showing.
"You look so damn beautiful with this you are wearing." he whispered.
"I'm glad." I whispered back.
I could feel his erection pressing down on my lower stomach and I felt myself turned on more, if that was even possible. He smiled and I could see a different look on his face. A look of admiration.
"I might be Tom, but something those two are getting along." he whispered again.
"Sometimes."
He chuckled. "We haven't decided yet where we should go for our first date."
"Uhh.. I don't know. You choose."
"I thought the woman had to decide on a date."
"I thought you said I was different."
He smiled again. "Right." He then leaned down and kissed my cheek.
Oh god. I was surrounded by his smell and that kiss... I really can't explain what im feeling right now. He rested his head against my chest and closed his eyes, sighing.
"Hey, get off me!"
"Nop"
"Why?"
"You are so comfortable this way. I like it."
"Little girly hair, get off"
"Nop"
"Ugh, you are so stubborn!"
"Look who's talking"
I tried to get him off me but his circled his arms around my waist tightly.
"Dimitri!" I argued.
"Shh... Just sleep.. It's not the first time you sleep with me."
I instantly remembered the day when we locked up in the depot in the university and I felt asleep on his shoulder. "That was another case."
"Shh.." I could feel his breath getting heavy.
Great!
How could I sleep with him on top of me like that?
"Dimitri?" I whispered.
No answer.
"Dimitri!" I whispered a bit loudly.
Still no answer. He felt asleep. I sighed loudly and turn my head to watch my cartoons. He felt so good against me and I was instantly warmed up. I couldn't denied that I liked it, though. I stroked his hair with my fingers for the first time and they felt so good against my hands. I heard him signed slightly and I smiled at myself.
I think this night wasn't so bad after all.
