"No, I don't think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly. That's what's wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how."
"Wakey Wakey Eggs and Bacey!" my best friend called in a sing song voice, that I did my best to ignore. It had been 3 weeks since prom, and my friends had been more over protective than they have ever been, and while I love them for it I wanted to beat them at the same time. "Rose, come on get up. we have lots to do today"
"Leave me alone Lissa, its MY birthday, that means I get to do what I want. And I want to sleep!" I replied pulling my pillow over my head. but of course she wouldn't let me. she pulled my pillow and my blanket away and I let out a grown as someone else, more than likely the evil Mason, pulled open the blinds. "I am going to kill you." I muttered as I got out of the bed and walked to the bathroom.
After taking a too long shower, I walked into my room to find that my pesky best friend had picked out an outfit for me. a pair of boot cut jeans, my brand new spaghetti strap shirt (it was army green on bottom, but the top over the chest was camo) and my DC sneakers. After pulling them on I walked to my dresser and did my make up and put on some rings, both in my ears and my belly. My ears were little yellow hearts with glasses that looked like the Minions from Despicable Me, and my belly ring was one that I had just gotten, it was half heart and half treble cleft. I loved it. After grabbing my Fedora I walked down stairs.
When I walked into the kitchen I saw that all my best friends were there, sitting at the table fussing with something and Sparky at the stove. I swear he just needs an apron. I think I am going to get him one. Snagging a piece of bacon I ate half and tossed the other half to Lacey, and walked over to Lissa to see what she was messing with. It was my phone.
"What are you doing with my phone lady" I ask trying to grab it but she pulled it out of my reach and only handed it back after she finished putting the new case she had gotten on it. "so what torture are you putting me though today? I mean its my birthday shouldn't I be able to stay in bed and do nothing?" I ask sighing, I hated my birthday, always did.
"we are going to the spa! Going to have some hot half naked guy rubbing oil all over you, relaxing in a hot tub, getting your nails done, and we are gonna re touch up your high lights." She said, and I felt Dimitri, who had come to stand behind me, stiffen. I don't think he liked that I was getting a massage. Not that he could complain, he got to do physical therapy twice a week with some big titty blonde that threw herself at him every time she saw him.
It was about a 3 days after prom (a very loud 3 days, thanks to whiny boy) that they let Dimitri out of the hospital, I think it was more that they wanted to piss him off, than that he needed it. But since then he has had PT to get his arm up to strength, and we have had to talk to the cops so many times.
We just got word last week that Aydin had been denied bail, so he will be in jail until the trial at the end of the year. Since we were told that, I had been sleeping better than I can ever remember sleeping. and from what everyone told me, I was more fun to be around, so that's a plus too.
"ok, so why are you all trying to keep me out of the house? Planning a party or something? If you tell me I will still act surprised." I said laughing, just as Christian brought over a plate of food. Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Shredded Potato's and even a chocolate doughnut and orange juice. "Have I ever told you that I love you Sparky? Cause I do." I said laughing as I dug into my breakfast.
After eating and goofing off with my friends for another hour, Lissa dragged me outside to my car (that I got back yesterday) leaving Mason, Eddie, Andre, Dimitri and Christian in my house. I knew they were planning something, but I had to pretend I didn't. what else was I gonna do?
"so Rose, what do you want for your birthday, and don't tell me nothing, cause I know your lying." Lissa said as we pulled out of the drive way. I had just got my car back and hadn't even driven it yet, but she was making me sit in the passenger seat while she drove. But at least it gave me a chance to think, what did I really want for my birthday? I knew that anything I could want she would buy me. but what I really wanted couldn't be bought. At least without getting arrested.
"Dimitri. I want Dimitri." I said, sighing. I had heard that the night of prom he had rented us a hotel room but since we, you know, got attacked by a creepy obsseive pedo, we didn't get to use it. and god did I want to use a hotel with him. I mean we have been together for nearly a year and all we have done is kiss.
"but you already have him. oh! You mean you WANT him, want him? ok. Well let me work my Lissa magic and see what I can do." She said laughing than smiled as her new favorite song came on. Perfect Two, by Auburn.
The rest of the day was spent in what Lissa called 'girl heaven' all around the spa were half naked men with 6 and 8 packs. To me it was torcher, well aside from getting my massage. The guy doing it, Ambrose, was a sweetheart and funny as hell. Not to mention sex on legs, not that I was really looking or anything.
When she and I left around 4 she drove to the mall and pulled me to Fredrick's of Hollywood, only saying Trust me. That really did not inspire confidence. It took nearly all her sweet talk, but after nearly half an hour she got me into a dressing room to try something on. When I came out to stand in the little area where Liss sat, she nearly spilt her coffee.
"oh my god Rose, who knew you could be such a sexy bitch!" she exclaimed as the woman who worked there walked over and smiled, saying that that outfit would make any man weep tears of gratitude. We ended up buying the outfit, which was a sexy strapless bra that stopped just above the nipple with black sheer that connected to the bottom of the bra and fell to just below the ass with a split down the center. In between the cups of the bra sat a bow, it was a shiny pastel like red. With it was a pair of black see-though thongs, with matching bows on either side. Along with the outfit Liss made me get a pair of heels. They were cute but I knew they would kill my feet. They had a 6 inch heel, and a 2 inch platform, with straps that crossed to make an X over the top of my foot and looped around my foot to hold them steady.
By the time we got out of the mall it was already 5:30, and we had to rush home. i expected a party, but Lissa told me that there was no party, that she had made other plans. And that I would like them. I was a little scared, but also excited. What did my best friend have up her sleeve? And who had she been talking to while I was checking out?
When we got back to my house, rather than the party I still half expected, there was just a table full of food, and the people I loved most around it. my mom and dad, Mason, Eddie, Christian, Andre, Dimitri, Viktoria, Olena, Karolina, Sonya, hell even Yava had come over. Between Dimitri and Mason there was a spot for me, and next to Christian one for Lissa. Seeing everyone that meant anything to me was better than any, well nearly any, gift I could be given. I felt tears well in my eyes and smiled.
"all this for little ol' me? who knew you all cared so much" I said smiling as I made my way over to my spot next to my delicious boyfriend.
"well we thought since you're a grown woman now, you would rather a nice dinner than a party" my father told me in Turkish, in the last 3 weeks, he has been refreshing my Turkish, I still remembered it from when I was a kid, but I was rusty.
"thank you BaBa," I told him, after my mother translated for my friends. Along with Dad helping me with Turkish, the Belikova women were teaching me Russian, without Dimitri knowing of course.
After the most delicious dinner ever, I was shepherded to the living room to open gifts. I ended up getting some CD's, (which never go out of style if you ask me) and DVD's, from Eddie and Mason, a birthday card with $50 in it from Andre, (he was super un creative)my mom and dad gave me 2 plane tickets for me and one other person to go to Turkey for 2 weeks, a beautiful necklace, and a bag of mini Kit Kats from Dimitri, from Christian I got about 8 shirts with different Rose patterns on them (they all knew I HATED things with roses,) Lissa and Andre's parents (who couldn't be there because they were working) gave me a huge kit of car accessories. (a steering wheel cover, floor mats, sun protectors , Ect.) with a sexy Ed Hardy design and from Dimitri's family they gave me a weekend up at some lodge in the woods. I think Olana was trying to hint that she wanted grandkids soon too, so she was even more happy than I was when I got to the gift from Lissa. It was a hotel key. Lissa had paid for me to go to a hotel for the night. When I looked from her to Dimitri, I saw that he was red as an apple.
"and this is why she is my best friend" I said laughing as I hugged her. Everyone laughed and after thanking everyone we sat around talking for a little while longer. It was nearly 7 when everyone left and Lissa made me go upstairs and shower. As I was walking up the steps I heard her tell Dimitri to be at the hotel by 8:30.
Up in my room I took a shower and shaved everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) and Lissa came up to do my hair and make me look sexy. At 8 she drove with me over to The Hilton Garden hotel and I went up to the room. It was amazing. I think she called ahead or something to set this all up because when I walked in, the room had candles everywhere and flower petals all over the bed and the floor.
I took a deep breath and walked to the window to look out at the night skyline that the room looked out on. What the hell would he think when he got here? That I am some desperate slut? i have never really thought about sex much, at least until I started dating Dimitri. He is the only one I ever wanted to be with, and I knew that I would never be happy doing it with anyone else.
Walking around the room I lit all the candles then grabbed the bag I had brought with me and walked to the bathroom. Changing out of my jeans and tank top I put on the teddy we had gotten and put the heels on and touched up my makeup. It was 8:25 when I walked out of the bathroom and laid on the bed.
At exactly 8:30 exactly Dimitri walked in the door and stood frozen. "oh Roza" he breathed looking around the room. in his hands were a dozen flowers, Pink Orcades I think.
When I saw him walk I leaned up on my elbows and looked at him. "hey" I said smiling. when he looked over at me, I swear his eyes popped out of his head.
"oh Roza" he breath, setting the flowers on the table by the door and held his hands out to me. Taking a deep breath I reached out for him and took his hands and let him pull me to my feet.
"I heard from someone that you had planned on getting a room for Prom, but that didn't exactly work out did it? so I guess we will have to make due right?" I ran my hands up his chest, letting myself feel every bit of muscle that lay under his shirt. "I mean if you still want me that is" I added, my hands moving behind his head to play with the back of his long hair.
The smile that lit his face was priceless, if I were a dying woman and could only see one thing before I died, it would be the smile he gave me at that moment. It could light up the whole city. "oh Roza, there is nothing i want more then to 'make due' as you say." His Russian accent was thicker when he spoke, huskier. Sexier.
"well then, what are we waiting for?" I ask, biting my lip a little as I pulled his head to mine and pressed my lips to his.
in the afterglow of the best sex anyone on the planet could ever even dream of, I lay curled next to Dimitri in the bed, rose petals sticking to our sweaty body's. If I had known that it could be like that before I would have so done this before. From everyone I had talked to and every book or movie I had ever seen or read said that the first time hurt, but when I was with Dimitri it was perfect.
"Wow. Best birthday ever" I said smiling up at him, picking a pink flower off his chest and rubbing it over his skin then laughed when I felt him shutter.
"Roza, this was the best night ever, not just best birthday. I am glad we waited to do this. It wouldn't have been right any other time." His chest rumbled as he spoke and made me smile. Leaning up on my elbow I leaned my head down and pressed a kiss to the small scar that marred his otherwise perfect skin.
"I guess you're right, though I would not mind a repeat at all. In fact I look forward to it." Smirking I sat up all the way and tossed my leg over his waist and straddled him running my hand over his chest. "it looks like so are you"
"Aydin Kent, on the count of attempted murder, we find you not guilty. On the count of child endangerment, we find you not guilty. On the count of molestation of a minor we find you not guilty. We are sorry for taking your time, you are free to go" the judge said as he brought his gavel down on the wooden desk.
"ah, Little Flower, looks like we get to play again. I look forward to it." The dark haired man of my nightmares said as he reached out and ran a hand over my hair.
"no! don't touch me!" I scream smacking his hand away and cowering into the bench seat.
"Roza! Rose wake up! Baby, please wake up!" Dimitri's voice broke through my dream and pulled me back to the real world. Shaking slightly I threw my arms around him and buried my face into his neck, feeling safe and protected in his arms.
"they let him off, he wanted me again. He said that we could play again. Please don't let him get out and get me." I whimper, clinging to him like a life line.
"I will never let anyone hurt you. Ever. I promise" he told me kissing my head, and then slowly pulled away. "Now lets get your mind off of him. I ordered breakfast. I figured you would be hungry after last night."
Nodding my head I slowly got out of bed and winced a little as I felt a wonderful soreness in my lady parts. I had to admit, I loved it. "mm, I think I may need a shower after we eat. Join me?" I ask as I pulled on one of the robes that the hotel had left and sat down at the little table that our food was laid out on.
"Malaya, If I take a shower with you we will not get clean." He said as he laughed and sat across from me. I had just taken a bite of my omelet when Dimitri gave me the shock of my life with what he said next.
"Rose, will you marry me?"
A/N: ok I am so sorry not to have updated in a LOOOOOOONG time, but in my defense there has been so much RL stuff going on that it had all my attention and i did not have ANY muse. It has pissed me off to no end. I would sit down to write and just sit there for like an hour staring at the computer.
But alas here is the last normal chapter. The next one will be the epilogue; I think I have some plan on how I want to do it but only time will tell. I will try and have it up soon, but I am not promising anything.
And in case I forget to do it at the end of the last chapter, I want to thank EVERYONE who has read my story and stayed with me. You guys are the reason that I stuck with this story. I have never finished a chapter story. I would be in the worst mood, then get an email about a review and it would brighten up my whole day. I love you guys I really do. And I hope that you guys have enjoyed this as much as I have loved writing it.
