I left Stan to go find Dimitri. That was easy; he was right outside the newly transformed gym.

"Hey, Dimka," I said. He stiffened.

"Please don't call me that."

"Fine, fine," I said, pretending not to be hurt. "So, you and Rose, huh?"

"That's none of your business." He snarled, starting to walk back to the gym.

"Why, Dimitri?" I yelled. He stopped. "Why did you say no? Because of HER? I could give you love, children," he flinched, "it was picture perfect. The acceptable thing!"

" I LOVE HER!" he exploded. "I care for you, Tasha, I do, but I love her! Sometimes things don't need to be picture perfect" With that he opened the gym door. Oh, no! I didn't even get a chance to do what I wanted…

"Well, it looks like things aren't going to be picture perfect because someone is moving in on your girl!" I shouted. I ran after him, knowing he heard me, but I was shocked at what I actually saw.

Stan leaned in and pressed his lips to Rose's-Bingo. But then she pulled away, screamed that something that was probably illegal somewhere, and then punched him in the face. Uh-oh.

Dimitri raced over and I thought he was going to murder Stan, but instead he pulled Rose away by her waist. I stalked off, disappointed.

I was on my way to the guest cabin where I stayed during my last visit, when I saw Lissa doubled over in a laughing fit. I made my way over.

"Lissa! What's up?" She straightened up.

"Um, well, I kind of just walked in on some hot and heavy goings on." She realized what she said and blushed, obviously mentally kicking herself in the butt.

"Between?"

"Um, who do you think?" she said, shuffling awkwardly.

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! Not them again! I stalked off without saying goodbye.

I saw my cabin come into view and I ran, hoping to sink into the bed and relax. My hopes were shattered when I walked in.

The place was turned upside down! Especially the bed. I sighed, beginning to clean up. Who would've done this?

DPOV

Rose laid her head on my chest. I pressed her as close as possible and kissed her hair.

"What are we going to do?" she mumbled.

"About?"

"Tasha."

"Well, I can absolutely promise you one thing," I sighed. She looked up and me through her eyelashes. My heart lurched. She looked so innocent yet so unbelievably sexy.

"There is absolutely no way possible for her to make me stop loving you, to make me leave you. I'll love you forever."

I saw it through her eyes that she knew I was telling the truth. She opened her mouth to speak, but I pressed my lips to hers.

"Rose! Rose, open up!" Her mother was knocking at the door. We both groaned.

"Hide!" she whispered. I slipped on my boxers and slid under bed. She wrapped a towel around herself and stuck her head out the window. What the hell?

"Mom," I heard her say as she opened the door. All I saw were my Roza's gorgeous legs, then Janine's not so good-looking ones.

"Why are you in a towel?"

"I just got out of the shower." Oh, it was raining. That's why she stuck her head out the window.

There was a long pause then Janine sighed and said. "Belikov, get out here." I froze. "Belikov, NOW!"

I maneuvered myself out from under the bed. Janine stiffened when she saw me.

"Rose, there is someone that I want you to meet." She said. "Meet me in the quad when you're, um, decent."

She left Rose to get dressed, and I watched regretfully. When she was done, I dressed myself.

"Are you coming?" she asked me. I nodded, and without further ad, I swung her into my arms and marched out the door.

"Dimitri! Put me down!" I squealed, swatting his arms. He sighed and placed me on the ground. I walked in front of him, trying to look as sexy as possible, knowing he was watching.

We reached the que\ad and saw my other standing next to a Moroi wearing flashy scarves and gold jewelry.

"Hello, Rosemarie. I'm happy to finally meet you," the man said, shaking my hand.

"Hey," I said warily. I looked at Dimitri and raised my eyebrow the way he taught me too. His expression amazed me. Awareness, anger, disbelief. Who was this guy?

"Rose," my mother said awkwardly. "This is Abe-Abraham-Mazur. He's your father."
