Same disclaimers!!

"Tasha" I looked her pleading with my eyes "please don't" I begged her.

"What are you talking about Rose?" she asked looking amused at my distress. Dimitri stiffened a laugh behind me and put his arms around my waist resting his head on my shoulder.

"It's alright Roza" he whispered in my ear sending shivers down my spine and instantly I forgot we weren't alone.

"Rose it's fine" Tasha said bringing me back to reality. Since I was socked to say at least I remained silent. "I know about you two since the ski log" my eyes nearly popped out of their sockets "why so socked Rose? Dimitri and I know each other very long time and it was just piece of cake to see that someone special was in his life" Dimitri tightened his grip around my waist "then I saw you Rose. How your attitude changed towards me since you saw us together and how you've been acting around Dimka. It wasn't that hard for someone to put the pieces together"

"Is it that obvious? I asked scared that someone might find out as easily.

"Roza don't worry" Dimitri told me reassuringly "after graduation no one will have a say in this relationship except you and me" I let out a sign and rest my head in his chest smiling. He said we have a relationship. He kissed my cheek and I stroke his arms that rested still in my waist looking into his eyes. I how I love getting lost in those eyes.

Tasha cleared her throat again. "Rose we have to get back inside. Lissa is worried sick and I had hard time persuading her to let me come and find you but I don't know if she'll stay inside that long" she smiled apologetically at me and I nodded.

Dimitri turned me in his arms and pressed his lips in mine. His lips held so much passion that it was hard for me to hold back. My hands found their way to his neck and I got lost in the kiss until I felt a hand pulling me back. I reluctantly let go and I heard him growl.

"Dimka" Tasha said annoyed and smacked the back of his head "keep your hands off of her for an hour or two until the party ends" she was glaring him and he shrugged his shoulders.

"Can't promise a thing" he said and winked at me heading to the gym. I started to follow but Tasha caught my elbow and held me back.

"Rose can I talk to you for a second?" That sounds bad. I nodded and headed towards a bench near the gym.

We sat there for a while and then she took my hands in hers and looked my in the eyes. Her ice blue eyes seemed to penetrate my brown ones seeing right into my soul. Finally she smiled like she found something there that pleased her.

"He really loves you, you know" she said in a tone that I could only describe only as protective. Tasha -a Royal Moroi- felt protective over my badass Russian. Wow! "When he came and said that he would accept the offer I was socked to say the least. I won't lie to you Rose. I was happy that he chose me over you and I was hoping he would be something more than just my Guardian" I gulped. Did they ever….? I stopped thinking what could have been once Tasha started talking again "but when I saw the pained expression on his face as we left I knew that we couldn't have that. I wasn't angry. You see your lives as Guardians don't give you time for loves and romance. It's rare for Dhampirs to find love and even more rare to find that love in another Dhampir." I could feel my eyes water. She accepts us. She is Moroi and Royal but she accepts our love. "I told him that he should go back but he insisted that he couldn't leave me without a Guardian so I told him I knew about your relationship. For the first time in many years I saw Dimitri break. The big bad Russian was in the verge of tiers. He told me everything from when he found you in Portland 'till the day he left you to guard me. I could tell it wasn't a crush but love." She paused and her right hand left mine and brushed away a tier that escaped my eye. Traitor! I thought as another one left my eyes. "after that I even tried compelling him into coming back but he always said that you might have moved on and that he couldn't endure to see you in the arms of another man" I smiled thinking of Dimitri feeling jealous over someone else "he said that if he was to come back he wouldn't be able to hold his hands off of you. I now know what he meant!" she laughed a little and I joined her. I know too!

"I love him too Tasha!" I whispered and she squeezed my hands "I love him in a way that I never thought that I could possibly love anyone. I love him so much that sometimes it hurts to be away from him. It scares me that someone can affect me that much. It scares me mostly because I know that I'm ready to quit being a Guardian just to be with him if someone finds out about us and that's not fair to Lissa." She nodded for me to continue "you know how we-Dhampirs grow up. They come first! You come first! Lissa comes first! I can't leave my charge, my sister unprotected and go away with Dimitri and that breaks my heart in so many little pieces that even if I could put them back together some of them will be missing." I paused.

"Does Lissa know?" Tasha asked drawing circles in my hands to make me relax.

"No" I simply said "I don't know what she'll think. I dread the time that I'll have to tell her for us. I'm scared that she will be disappointed in me." I took my hands from Tasha's and held my head sobbing. Tasha pulled me in a tight hug and I felt like a little girl crying in her mothers' arms. That reminded me. "Tasha" I whispered and she caressed my hair "I never got say congratulations for the baby. I think you'll be a wonderful mother!" I smiled as her arms tightened around me.

"Thank you Rose" she said and kissed my hair. Suddenly she gasped. "We have to go back. Dimka will kill me and Lissa will be so worried" I opened the bond and sure enough Lissa was looking for me. Tasha loosened her arms from around me and kissed my forehead "I'm happy you two found each other" I hugged her again and kissed her cheek.

Once in the gym I noticed that Dimitri was on stage with a guitar. That's bad!

Dimitri cleared his throat and took the mic.

"This song is for the only woman that ever touched my heart." His eyes landed instantly on me and then the song began. Sweetest thing by Shane Piasecki.

Sometimes I am a little less of a man than I should be
but you never leave you, you never will
When I'm wrong, you love me still
Still, I say, ay, ay
Tomorrow we'll sleep in the bed that we have made
So let's do this the right way, oh Yeah!
There ain't no doubt, when the lights turn out
Ain't nobody livin better then we are right now
You're everything, everything
And you, you're the sweetest thing to me
And I know, you're gold
Girl, you're so damn precious, let's take this nice and slow
and give it room to grow
'cause you know, there ain't no doubt, when the lights turn out
Ain't nobody livin better then we are right now
You're everything. Baby, everything
And you, you're the sweetest thing
It can be so hard, just starting out
But look how far we've come, there's no stopping now
You're my queen, and I will be your king
And you, you're the sweetest thing to me
And I know the road is long sometimes
We get turned around, flipped upside down, but the sun is gonna shine
Cuz there ain't no doubt when the lights turn out
Ain't nobody livin better then we are right now
You're everything, baby, everything
And you, you're the sweetest thing
It can be so hard, just starting out
But look how far we've come, there's no stopping now
You're my queen, and I will be your king
And you, you're the sweetest thing, and you, you're the sweetest thing
And you, you're the sweetest thing to me
The sweetest thing to me, you're everything to me
You're the sweetest thing to me

"Know that I love you" he said before leaving the stage.

"Wow Guardian Belikov didn't know you had it in you" Lissa said as Dimitri approached us "so if I may ask…who is she?"
