The New Rose
Chapter 24:
After what felt like an hour Dimitri stood up and picked me up and wrapped my big towel around both of us and I laid my head on his shoulder and wrapped my arms around him and yawned. I shut my eyes and fell to sleep.
I woke up in the morning to the sun shining down onto my eyelids and I opened my eyes and seen the blare of the sun and I blinked it away and then opened my eyes again and it was still there so I blinked away the blare and then turned to see Dimitri looking at me and smiling, playing with my hair. I smiled back at him and ran my forefinger along his jaw line and he chuckled. My stomach growled and Dimitri smiled at me and then got up and grabbed my hand pulling my up as well and walked downstairs with me trailing behind and walked into the kitchen and sat me down in a chair in the kitchen. Dimitri grabbed eggs out of the fridge, along with bacon, bread and butter and then he grabbed a pan out of the cupboard and my guess was that he was making bacon and eggs. My stomach growled and Dimitri laughed.
When breakfast was ready he set my plate down in front of me and I dug in and when I was finished Dimitri took my plate and washed it up because he had already had breakfast and then we got dressed.
"What should we do today?" I asked Dimitri.
"What do you want to do?" he asked me.
"Call Lissa," I said.
Dimitri laughed. "Okay call her but only this once," he said. I ran down stairs and grabbed the phone off the hook and dialled her mobile number and soon she answered.
"Hello?" Lissa said.
"Hello Lissa this is Rose," I said and she screamed. "Don't tell anyone I called you, okay, and stop the screaming," I said. Lissa started taking calming breaths.
"Where are you? How are you? Are you coming back? I miss you," Lissa said in a rush and her words jumbled together and I could only just make sense of it.
"Calm down Lissa, one question at a time. First of all no, I might not be coming back, yes I'm fine and I miss you too, oh and "I can't tell you where I am," I said. "But I got a house-my own house," I said.
"Oh my gosh, that is soo awesome," she said.
"I know. This lady she got into trouble with a Strigoi and I went to stay in the house chose this house-my house-and then I found a note and money, cars and heaps of other stuff and the note said that she was giving the house, money and cars to whoever found it and that she might not ever be coming back so no it's my house and Dimitri is with me," I said to her.
"Oh my gosh that is soo nice of her," she said.
"Yeah I know, I just wish that you could compel Kirova to let you and Christian go out of the Academy and 'go shopping' and I could pick you two up and take you two to my house and we could have a sleep over, bad thing is there is a lot of Strigoi around where I live. Oh, and I'm gonna try getting a job," I told her.
"I should," she said.
"Yeah I got to go now. I've got to go," I said to her. "Bye, I'll call you another time," I said. "If I can convince Dimitri to let me."
"Bye, love you," she said.
"Love you too Liss," I said and then hung up.
I turned around and looked at Dimitri and he smiled at me and I smiled back. "What do you want to do?" he asked.
"I don't know. Let's go into town," I said.
"Okay then, but we've been there a lot," he said.
"I know, but I like malls and shopping," I informed him and he laughed.
"I knew that," he said.
"I thought you did," I replied back. I ran upstairs and brushed my teeth and Dimitri did the same and then we went back downstairs and I grabbed my purse, sun glasses and phone. Dimitri grabbed his wallet, phone and the keys and we went outside and he locked up the house and then we went into the car and I got into the passenger side of the sports car and he got into the drivers side and I put on some music and cranked up the volume. Dimitri reversed out of the garaged and then turned the car around and drove up to the gate and I got out and unlocked it and opened the gate and I seen Rachel crying on the swings and rocking back and fourths. Dimitri drove through and I held my hand up at him and I walked across the road and walked up next to her.
"Hey," I said and she looked up at me. I got down on my knees and smiled. "What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing," she replied.
"What is it? Don't lie, I can see that you're crying, so you're not alright," I said to her.
"My boyfriend broke up with me, well my ex-boyfriend now, and we had been together for three years," she said.
I honestly felt bad for her. "It's alright," I said and gave her a hug. "How about we take your mind off of it and go shopping?" I suggested.
She smiled. "Okay," she said. "But I'll have to ask my mom," she said.
"How about I ask her?" I suggested.
"Okay," she said and looked down at the ground again.
I stood up and walked over to the door and rang the door bell. "Coming!" Cassie called through the door and she answered the door in a matter of seconds. "Hey Rose," she said. "Do you want to come inside?" she asked.
"No, I was wondering if Rachel could come shopping with me and Dimitri because she's a bit upset and I thought I could get her mind off of it by taking her shopping?" I asked.
"Okay, I've been trying to talk to her but she just told me to leave her alone. Did she tell you what was wrong?" she asked.
"Yeah," I said. "I don't think she wants me to tell anyone though," I said.
"Okay, well I'm glad she can talk to you. I'll give you money to give to her," she said and went to get her purse.
"Oh, it's alright, I can pay," I said.
"No it's fine," she said and handed me one hundred dollars.
"Um okay I'll give it to her. I've got to go, Dimitri is waiting in the car," I said.
"Okay bye," she said. I turned and walked back to Rachel and gave her the money.
"Your mom wanted me to give you some spending money," I said.
"Thanks, so that's a yes?" she guessed.
"Yes, I can be very persuasive," I said to her and she smiled.
"Come on, Dimitri's waiting," I said and led her to the car and he jaw dropped.
"This is yours?" she asked shocked.
"Yep," I said.
She got inside the back and I got inside the passenger side and Dimitri looked at me questioningly. "Later," I mouthed. Dimitri took my hand in his and I pulled my hand out, knowing that it'd make Rachel upset and he gave me a weird look. I pulled down the mirror thing and looked at Rachel in the mirror. "Do you want me to tell you a secret?" I asked her and she looked at me and smiled.
"Yes, you can trust me. I won't tell anyone," she said.
"Well you know how I said that I was twenty?" I asked her.
"Yeah what about it?" she asked.
"I'm actually 18 in September," I told her and she looked at me shocked.
"What?" she asked.
I smiled. "I basically pulled out of school. Well, I ran away from the boarding school my mom sent me to," I said to her and she smiled.
"Trouble maker, huh?" she asked.
I gave her my famous Rose Hathaway smirk. "You got that right," Dimitri said smiling.
"Wait how did you meet?" she asked and I looked at Dimitri.
"You can't tell anyone," he said. "Not a soul."
"I promise I won't," she said.
"I was actually her teacher before I resigned and came to find Rose because I heard she went missing and I went to find her and I found her in the mall-shopping. I'm 24," he said.
"But you two act like you love each other," she said confusedly.
I grinned at her. "We do," I said and her eyes widened.
"So you two are like together? And had sex?" she asked and then laughed.
"Yeah we're together and yeah we had sex," I said.
"Wow," she said with wide eyes. "That's just sneaky."
I grinned at her. "I know," I said.
After that conversation had died down and I turned the music up loud again and sung along with every song.
