WARNING: MEGA TASHA BASHING!
Chapter 6 - If I had you
Lissa's 18th birthday. We were going to be late if Lissa didn't hurry up. I was ready. Hair curled. Check. Red halter neck silk dress to mid thigh. Check. Red stilettos. Check. Lissa on the other hand was running around with curlers in her hair in her dressing gown. "Lissa! Stop running around and get ready! We are gonna be late!" She stopped mid run and stared at me.
"It's alright for you. You look gorgeous no matter what you wear. I actually have to try to look pretty."
"What shit you chattin' now? You're the one that looks gorgeous 24/7. Now stop fannying around and let me help you." She sat down in her chair as if I'd just used compulsion on her. Half an hour later she was finally ready. Her platinum blonde hair was in neat waves down her pale back. Her pale pink dress clung to her sleek form and formed a tutu skirt. "C'mon Liss. I bet all the guests are waiting." I tugged her out of her room and towards the grand hall. We stopped outside the door. "Ready?" I asked her. She nodded her response with a massive grin on her face. I pushed the large doors open and we were greeted by,
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I could feel through the bond that she was overwhelmed. She mingled in the crowd giving "thank you"s and "glad you could make it"s. I made my way over to Christian.
"Come on Sparky. While Lissa's mingling, you are dancing with me." I dragged him to the dance floor and began to sway to the music. He looked terrified. I'm not surprised, he was dancing with a badass. After what felt like ages I made my way to the stage and stood next to the microphone. The band stopped playing so that I could speak. "Lissa. Could you come up here please?" She slowly worked her way through the crowd and got up onto the stage. I handed her a box wrapped in baby pink paper with a silver ribbon around it. She tore through the paper and opened the box which contained a heart shaped silver necklace that was inscribed with 'Lissa and Rose, Best Mates Always'
"Oh Rose! I love it!" She put it on immediately.
"Good. Now grab Sparky and get on the dance floor for my second present." She looked very excited and made her way to the dance floor. I made sure that the band was ready and waited for the music to start.
"So I got my boots on, got the right 'mount of leather,
And I'm doing me up with a black colour liner,
And I'm workin' my strut but I know it don't matter,
All we need in this world is some love,
There's a thin line 'tween the dark side and the light side baby tonight,
It's a struggle gotta rumble trying to find it," I sang as people danced along with the music. Many gob smacked faces at the fact that could actually sing just stared at me.
"But if I had you, that would be the only thing I'd ever need,
Yeah if I had you, then money, fame and fortune never could compete,
If I had you, life would be a party, it'd be ecstasy,
Yeah, if I had you,
You-y-y-y-y-you,
You-y-y-y-y-you,
You-y-y-y-y-you,
If I had you," Everyone had finally gotten over the shock and seemed to be having the time of their lives as they began rocking to the song.
"From New York to LA getting high rock n' rollin,
Get a room trash it up 'til it's ten in the morning,
Girls in stripper heels, boys rolling in Maseratis,
What they need in this world is some love,
There's a thin line tween a wild time and a flat line baby tonight,
It's a struggle, gotta rumble tryin' to find it,
But if I had you, that would be the only thing I'd ever need,
Yeah if I had you, then money fame and fortune never could compete,
If I had you, life would be a party it'd be ecstasy,
Yeah, if I had you,
You-y-y-y-y-you,
You-y-y-y-y-you,
You-y-y-y-y-you If I had," Lights began to flash all around me as I sang the next verse. Flashing along with the beat, I couldn't stop myself from dancing along with everyone else. What can I say? I'm a performer. I love the attention.
"The flashing of the lights,
It might feel so good ,
But I've got you stuck on my mind, yeah!
The fashion and the stage,
It might get me high,
But it don't mean a thing tonight,
That would be the only thing I'd ever need,
Yeah, if I had you, the money, fame and fortune never could compete,
If I had you, life would be a party, it'd be ecstasy,
Yeah, if I had you,
You-y-y-y-y-you,
You-y-y-y-y-you,
You-y-y-y-y-you,
If I had you,
That would be the only thing I'd ever need,
Yeah, if I had you, then money, fame and fortune never could compete,
If I had you, life would be a party, it'd be ecstasy,
Yeah, if I had you,
You-y-y-y-y-you,
You-y-y-y-y-you,
You-y-y-y-y-you,
If I had you, you, you." As soon the song had finished people were screaming my name. I had never felt so well loved in my entire life. I took a bow before getting off the stage only to be attacked by Lissa.
"Oh my god, Rose! That was amazing!" she screamed as she pulled me into a hug. She finally let go and I began to mingle. I could hear people saying,
"Wow!"
And…
"That was amazing!"
And…
"I totally wasn't expecting that."
"Thanks everyone!" I replied with.
"You were fantastic, Roza." I caught my breath. I must have imagined that. I turned around to confirm it but failed. He stood in front of me as if nothing had ever happened. Why did he have to look so good? His fitted black suit only accentuated his hard muscles and his white shirt complemented his tanned skin perfectly. His dark brown hair was its usual perfect mess and my fingers itched to run through it. But instead I needed to hurt him. Hurt him like he hurt me.
"What are you doing here?" My words got the desired effect as a pained expression washed across his face.
"I'm Tasha's guardian and she was invited." I followed his gaze to a woman standing with Christian. Her jet black hair flowed down her back to her waist. She wore a silver silk dress that clung to her moroi figure. She turned to face me and I could see her piercing blew eyes look over me as I saw a silver scar that marred her cheek. Despite the scar she looked beautiful. Bitch. She smirked at me as if to say "ha ha he's mine now." Well I have news for you bitch, I don't want him.
"You left me for her!" My laughed had never seemed to be so fake until now.
"Roza-" I cut him off as he tried to grab my arm.
"Don't call me that! Stay the hell away from me!" I barged my way through the dancing bodies and found the French doors out onto the terrace. The cold night air hit me and seemed to sooth my anger. I sat on the nearest marble bench and tried to calm down. You should kick his arse. I can't he's a better fighter than me. Why did he have to come? Why couldn't she have brought another guardian? Perhaps he wanted to torture you. He wouldn't do that. How do you know? He took your virginity. He told you he loved you and then upped and left. People that care about you don't do that. I felt the first tear trying to break free. Just face it Rose. He doesn't love you. He doesn't want you. Get over it. As soon as the first tears was free there was no stopping them. I really need to stop crying over a man that doesn't love me.
"Don't cry, Roza." I turned towards the deep, sensual voice that had bewitched me from the first time I heard it. He stood looking at me in all his glory. It broke my heart to hear him call me Roza. I was no longer his Roza. He broke me. All the anger that had subsided was flaring up again.
"Don't you ever listen to anything I say?"
"I do listen, but I just can't do as you ask."
"And why is that?"
"Because I love you, Roza." I shot up and screamed at him.
"Stop lying to me!" I tried to run as fast as I could in my stilettos but they were really slowing me down. He caught up with me by the fountain and grabbed my arm to pull me to a stop. He spun me round and pulled him against his oh so familiar frame.
"I'm not lying. No word I have ever said to you is a lie. I couldn't do that to you."
"Then why did you say you love me then leave, huh?" He paused. His face blank. "Huh?" I screamed. I tried to push him away.
"Stop fighting me Roza."
"I don't want you to touch me!" I didn't have anytime to react before his lips crushed mine. In that all of my objections flew out the window and I melted into his arms and deepened the kiss. I'm home. It was just like old times. Like before he left me. Wait. Before he left me. I pushed him away and slapped him around the face. "How dare you kiss me?" I screamed at him. I ran crying back to the party searching for Lissa. She looked worried when I finally found her.
"What's going on?" she wondered.
"Dimitri's here."
"What?" she yelled.
"He's here with that scar faced bitch."
"What?"
"He's her guardian. He left me to be with her. And you know what that means. He wants to start a family with her. Why else would he leave me for that?"
"Why would he do that? He loves you. It's plain to see."
"He says he does. Right before he kissed me."
"He kissed you?" She looked angry.
"Yeah."
"Oh my god!" She was in shock. What about me? He broke my heart. Left me broken.
"Roza." Ah that's why she's in shock. I spun around
"Argh!" I stormed off to my room. Why won't he leave me alone? I slammed the door behind me and fell onto my bed. Tears rolled down my cheeks and wet my pillow. Then I heard the door open and close behind me. I picked myself up off of my bed and faced him. "What do you want?" He looked pained at my words. "I mean you've taken my heart and ripped it to pieces. Come back for some more. Well I'm sorry to disappoint you but there isn't anything left." More tears flowed as he pulled me into his arms. His lips crashed down on mine. My body was engulfed by flames as he deepened the kiss.
"I love you, Roza." he said when our lips parted.
"Then why did you leave me?" He thought about it for a while.
"I can't tell you. I really want to but I can't. But it was for a very good reason."
"Was it your choice to leave?" I really wanted him to say no. my heart depended on it. Our future depended on it.
"I was given an option. And to leave was the best option. The only option I could pick."
"I don't understand." I was so confused. I really wanted to know why he left.
"One day I will make you understand," he said as he turned to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"I have to go. I leave in the morning." I pulled him away from the door.
"You're not going anywhere." I said in a very suggestive tone. Maybe I can convinced him to leave Tasha and resume his place back at the academy. I smiled at him and pulled him towards me.
"Rose, I can't be here."
"But you are already here so it doesn't matter." I said as I began to unbutton his shirt.
"Don't." He said as he took my hands off his shirt.
"Fine." I said as I backed off. I reached for the knot at the back of my neck and undid it. I unzipped my dress at the side and it slid down my body pooling at my ankles before stepping out of it to be left standing in a red lace bra and thong set. I slipped my shoes off and walked towards the bathroom whilst undoing my bra. I'm going to hell anyway, I might as well taunt Dimitri as much as possible while I still can. I threw my bra at Dimitri and it slinked over his shoulder. I moved into the bathroom and turned the shower on. I took my thong off and stepped into the shower allowing the hot water to wash over my body. That's when I felt it. His arms wrapped around my waist like a steel vice. My body moulded to his perfect physique and passion took over as his naked flesh rubbed against mine. "I thought you were leaving." I teased.
"I should be but I can't leave with you being like that."
"Being like what?" I teased again. He spun me around and pushed my against the cold wall. A moan escaped my lips as my hot flesh pressed against the cold marble.
"So irresistible." Before I could say anything he had entered me with such force that my legs buckled.
"Dimitri!" I moaned as he charged me again. Again and again and again. I screamed as I reached my climax, collapsing into his arms. Our throbbing heart and exhausted lungs demanded rest as we dried ourselves off and slipped into my bed. That night I fell asleep in the arms of the man I love.
