Surprise Dresses and Dates

BAM BAM BAM BAM
Oh my fucking nuggets. Who the hell would bang on my door at 8 in the morning?! Do they honestly not know whose room this is? Do they not know that I, Rosemarie Hathaway, will be their WORST nightmare ever if they don't let me sleep in until 12 in the afternoon?! I groan into my pillow as the banging on the door continues. I reach over to the nightstand beside my bed blindly trying to grab my alarm clock. Once I get a good grip on the alarm clock I heave it towards the door and it shatters in a million pieces once it hits the door. The banging stopped after I threw the alarm clock so I just laid my head back onto my pillow and threw my blankets back over my head. Time to go back to my dream about a very sexy Russian giving me a massage on the beach and ready to do some wicked-
"Rose?" Someone asks.
I recognize the voice immediately. It was Lissa's voice and she knows I could never deny her any time of the day. I scratch my head as I drag myself toward the door. I didn't care at this point if my hair looked like a birds nest, all I wanted to do was SLEEP. I opened the door and there was Lissa with her bright smile and energetic mood. Her hair was in a fishtail braid that I still haven't learned how to do yet. She was wearing a knitted sweater that showed off her slim body, leggings that fitted her supermodel legs, mahogany colored lace up boots and a Hermes shoulder bag. What can I say? She looked like she just came out of a photo shoot for Vogue.
"Uhhhhhhnnnnnnnnn," I groaned not wanting to do anything but sleep for the next few hours.
I turn back around and drag myself back to my bed but it was way too far. I settled for my couch and threw myself onto it. I was wearing only Dimitri's white t-shirt that he let me borrowed- okay, more like I took it- and it was freezing only with it on.
"Liisssssyyyyyyyy," I whined into the couch pillow.
She throws a blanket over me and plops down at the end of the couch. She puts my feet into her lap and put some of the blanket on top of her. Oh did I love this girl. We first met in kindergarten when some jerk named Jesse was pulling her pigtails and was making her cry. I saw it happening so the nice person that I was I went up to him and pushed him down into the sand box. Ever since then me and Liss have been best friends.
"Ohhhhh, do I love you. You have no idea," I tell her.
I feel her body shake as she laughs and it makes me smile. "Oh Rose. I wonder what you would do without me."
"I would go crazy obviously," I say laughing. "Who else is going to feed me, go shopping with me, be there when I need them and just everything?!"
"There's always Christian," Liss says.
I give an imaginary eye role since my eyes were still closed. Lissa had met her boyfriend- now fiance, Christian Ozera- back when we were in high school at . There was a rumor that I was pregnant and spreading STD's around the school so the good friend Lissa was, she defended me every single time. I knew Liss was having a hard time because she was starting to get nightmares of her parent's car crash that killed both of them and her brother Andre. When I was in hiding, Christian was always there for her even though I didn't like the fact that they were seeing each other. In the end, Christian actually had a lot of things in common with me. Although, I'll never admit that to anyone, even Liss.
"Never will I go bra and panty shopping with Christian," I tell her.
We both burst into laughter at the thought of Christian shopping for bra's and panties. It was a hilarious image in my mind, to be honest.
"Rose did you forget what today is?" Liss asks me after we stopped laughing.
"Well its not your birthday or mine. Or Christians," I tease her.
Of course I knew what today was, how could a best friend forget? Hello? My best friend's wedding is coming up and we needed to go get her wedding dress. I was just way too tired to get up since Dimitri wanted to have his way with me this morning, not that I have any complaints about it. It was a great way to wake up and start the day, if you know what I mean.
She giggles. "You silly goose. Get up so we can go shopping for my wedding dress!"
I sit up and hit her with the couch pillow and run away laughing as she throws the pillow back at me. It didn't really take me too long to get ready since I already took a shower with Dimitri before he went off to work. I left my hair in long curly waves and started to get dressed. I put on a white knitted sweater, kind of faded blue skinny jeans and some Uggs. After putting a bit of mascara and some eyeliner on I was set and ready to go. Lissa had already grabbed my favorite black leather satchel bag and we were ready to go.
"Hello ladies, if you need help looking for anything just ask," the petite brunette sales clerk politely tells us with a huge smile.
We both smile back and Lissa tells her we will tell her if we need any help. This was the third shop we have been to and I was already tired of looking at wedding dresses. I should be excited but I was kind of jealous at the same time. I wanted to be the one buying a wedding dress, trying them on and getting an opinion on it. But I guess I'll have to wait my turn when I meet my "fiance" that I'm in an arranged marriage in. Don't get me started on that arranged marriage. I was pissed that I wouldn't know who I was getting married to until a couple days before the wedding. My parents are supposedly consulting his parents for a date on the wedding. Guess I won't be able to plan my own wedding after all. I wanted to be married to someone who will love me for who I am and not based on what his parents told him. I want someone to be able to hold me, take care of me and always be there for me as I will for them. Being in love with someone who you aren't allowed to see or talk to is the worst feeling in the world. Dimitri and I have been sneaking around for at least 2 weeks already and so far we haven't got caught. It was a huge risk if you asked me but we didn't care at this point. Love is-
"Rose?" Liss asks, breaking me out of my thoughts.
I turn and give her a big smile. "Yeah?"
"Are you okay?" She asks me biting her lip, her eyebrows furrowed.
"Yeah I'm fine, just getting distracted that's all," I tell her.
"Rose..." She starts off. "We can leave if you want."
I was startled at her words. "Liss I'm fine seriously. I have a feeling we'll find your dress here."
"Rose, I'm starting to feel bad because i know you want to get married to uhm...you know who, and when you told me on the day when we first went dress shopping I knew you wanted to get married to him. And just now that you guys aren't together its like-"
I go to her and put my hand on her shoulders. "Lissa, don't worry about that. Everything's fine now. That was in the past and this is the present. I'm absolutely fine now,okay? If I couldn't handle it wouldn't I be on the couch sulking with a huge tub of Ben & Jerry's ice cream?"
She sighs and we hug each other. We walk off to another aisle of wedding dresses and we start looking. While we were looking I begin to text Dimitri on my other iPhone that only him and I use to talk to each other. I had a hunch that my family was tracking every call, text, and email I got on my other iPhone.
Heyyy you (:
Couple seconds later I see that he texted back and I had a huge smile on my face.
D: Hey love. See you tonight?
Of course haha. Me, you and a red teddy (;
D: You know I love it when you're in red...
This time try not to rip it off me.
D: You know I will...haha.
Yeah but I LOVE this one. Its crotchless!
D: ... say what?
Its so pretty and it feels so gooooood against my nipples
D: Roza...
Hehe. Get to work Belikov.
D: I can't now when I have an image in my head of you naked:P
D: I already have a hard on. And at work too
Not my fault is it? ;D
D: Yes, sure its not your fault. Be prepared tonight, Roza...
Oh I will. This is war babe. (;
D: You won't be winning anyways sweets.
Well that's something to look forwards to later, right? (;
I stopped texting him after I sent that and didn't bother to look at his text. I couldn't stop smiling and laughing to myself at the thought of Dimitri having a hard on at work. I probably made it worst telling him I'll be wearing a red teddy later tonight. I turn my attention back to Lissa and we began to talk about a party Christian was planning to throw for the fun of it.
"Christian wants to do a barbeque but I don't know if we should. I'm thinking about a nighttime party with us playing games or something..." Liss says.
She keeps talking but I don't hear the rest of what she's saying because I found the most breath-taking dress ever. And it wasn't Liss's wedding dress. It was my wedding dress.
DPOV
R: Well thats something to look forwards to later, right? (:
Yes, seeing her in a red teddy was something to look forward to seeing later tonight. I lean back against my office chair and put my feet up on the desk. All I wanted to do was get some sleep and not do any work today at all. I didn't really have much to do so I guess I'll just close my eyes for a couple seconds... I guess I fell asleep after all when I felt someone shaking my body.
"What?" I mumbled at whoever was shaking me.
To get whoever to stop shaking me, I put my feet back on the floor and rubbed my eyes. When I look up its my brother Tom staring at me with an amused expression so I just glared at him back.
"You know you shouldn't be scowling like that, Dimka," Tom says. "Your face will be stuck like that forever if you keep doing that."
"Shut up," I say shoving him so I could stretch my arms out.
He bursts into laughter and so does Jared and Ivan who I just now noticed are in the room sitting on the couch in my office. I groan at them and sit back down. I put my head back onto my desk and try to ignore them but couldn't.
"Go away. All of you," I tell them. "Leave me alone. Don't bother me until work is over."
"Oh come on, D. Don't you want to hang out with us?" Jared asks laughing.
"No. Go away," I tell them once again.
"If we go away will we have a bros night out tonight?" Ivan speaks up.
"No so leave my office so I can get some peace and quiet," I growl at them.
"Unless someone has a date going on tonight..." Tom says.
I pick up my head and glare at Tom again. He wiggles his eyebrows as he smirks at me. If he wasn't my brother and my business partner for our company I would have put my fist to his face already. Actually I could...but I decide not to.
"I don't so leave me alone so I can go back to sleep," I tell him.
"So you do have a date!" Jared yelled jumping up pointing his finger at me.
" No, I don't. Calm down," I say.
"He does," Ivan says leaning against the couch smiling.
"Yes, I do have a date tonight. So get out of my office so I can count some sheep," I groan.
"So you're taking Tasha out tonight?" Ivan questions.
"Yes I am. Now go and leave me alone," I tell them.
"Oh Dimitri! You should have told me you were going to bring me on a date later tonight! I would have gone to the salon to do my nails and my hair! I look like a hot mess-"
I looked up to see Tasha Ozera going on and on about the "date" that we were supposed to have tonight. I never expected her to be here at my office out of all days of the week. I really need someone to stab me in the eye at this point.. I didn't hear the rest of what she said because all I can think was about Roza and how I was gonna tell her. Or get out of this mess.
Shit. I'm fucked.
Do you like it, love it or hate it? Tell me what you think! Any questions just leave a review or drop me a PM. REVIEW. :D
So my lovelies, my surprise to you is that whoever reviews gets a sneak peek to the next chapter :D
