CHAPTER 12: RPOV
Well, my talk with Dimitri went well, I guess. He agreed that he should give Adrian a little more respect. So, progress.
I decided to stop by Adrian's room the next morning, before Dimitri (and I) went on duty. When I got there, I knocked on the door. No answer. I tried the door and found it unlocked. I went inside and noticed that the bed had not been slept in. He hadn't ever come back to his room. I set off towards Viktoria's room because I knew that Adrian would be there with her, or something had happened. Something bad.
I knocked on the door, hard. A disheveled Adrian opened the door. He looked annoyed.
"What do you- Oh shit! Rose!" He yelled.
"I knew it. What the hell is wrong with you?" I shouted at him.
"Adrian, who is it?" Viktoria asked.
"It's um…" He hesitated. "It's…Rose…"
"What?" She came to the door. "Oh my god! Rose! Please, please, please don't tell my brother!"
"Why shouldn't I?" I demanded.
"Because he'll kill Adrian and then me!" She said, frightened.
"Fine. As long as you tell me EXACTLY what happened last night."
"I'm not sure you want to know…" She said.
"Oh, I'm pretty sure I do."
"Umm…"
"For god's sake!" Adrian exclaimed. "We talked, we kissed, we talked, we yelled, we kissed again, then I escorted her home, and then she asked me to stay."
"And then?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.
"We went to bed."
"Together?"
"Probably. I don't see how it is any of your business, though." He snapped.
"Perhaps not, but I find I would still like to know." Dimitri growled, suddenly appearing beside me.
Adrian was at a loss for words, while Viktoria went pale.
"Would you like to explain why you, Lord Ivashkov, are in my sister's room this early in the morning and why you probably slept, together?" He demanded.
"Because I love her." Adrian declared.
AN: Uh-oh! Who is Dimitri going to kill first? Hope you liked it. Sorry it's so short, but I really wanted to end it there. Let me know what you think!
