R: POV

I was standing next to Lissa at our table. Adrian and Christian were gone, congratulating Eddie. Me and Liss had just been dancing with Mia.

Mia looked spectacular. She was wearing a one- of - a- kind Pricilla of Boston (Pic on profile). It was an elegant, off white, strapless satin gown, with a flower material pattern draping across her breasts, over her stomach and onto her hip. The material gathered from the flowers and draped on her body perfectly.

It was her day to shine and she most definitely did. Eddie and Mia have been dating for the past five and a half years, since we left the academy anyway. Today was their wedding and you could tell that they were the happiest people alive. They loved each other so much and I was deathly happy for them. Ed was like the brother I never had and I considered Mia my sister we were so close. Liss, Mia and I were best friends and I would never have it any other way.

"Here we are ladies," Adrian said. He handed me a glass of champagne. Chris did the same to Liss. When that glass was done with, we were a little tipsy.

"So Lissa what do you think of the wedding?" I asked.

"I don't know. Of course it looks lovely and it's TOTALLY Mia, but hey it's not May-""And not the Gardens. Do you think this is a Pricilla Voda masterpiece?" Pricilla Voda was not only the Queen's closest advisor and friend but the most sought after wedding planner in the whole U.S.A. for the Moroi and Dhampir population.

"Hmm. I'm not too sure. I mean the dress and ceremony absolutely scream Voda but the flowers and decorations just. . . Don't."

I took a quick sweep of the room. "Ya you're right," I said nodding my head.

That night we drank, danced, talked and had a great time giving our 'sister' to our 'brother'. That night, after the party, Liss followed me to the gym. It was our daily routine. She never complained and even convinced some of the guardians to come and spar with me. The reason she was there, was so she could heal them after they had their turn with me. If you asked them why they were so hurt, they would probably just groan and tell you that sparing with me was just about the worst thing they could imagine. And they're dead right.

"Liss? Do you think Adrian will propose to me?"

"Oh Honey. I don't know. Honestly. I know he loves you. It's clear when you look in his eyes. But," She hesitated. "do you think that Adrian is the type of guy who wants to settle down? I mean look at his past. All those girls. . . And the alcohol. I just don't know Hun."

"Gee thanks for making me feel better," I said sarcasm leaking fully into my voice. I knew that this was partly the darkness but also part of my own hurt making me feel this way. I stopped punching the bag I was fighting. "All that I wanted was a simple 'yes' or 'no' answer. But thanks for the analysis anyway."

"Sorry," Liss said quietly. She knew what was making me feel like this but it didn't mean that my words didn't effect her, especially with the tone that I used. I didn't want to see her hurt but I was a little too preoccupied with my own issues to care at the moment. "But you get what I'm saying. I'm saying of course he loves you enough to propose but he's not the type that wants to get married and settle down. If you want him to then start dropping hints. . . Like I have been. . . For the past two fucking months," her tone went bitter toward the end. She had been dropping subtle hints to Chris. Well apparently they were too subtle because he hasn't proposed. . . Yet.

I groaned. "Liiiss. He's gonna propose and you know it. Just be patient. He loves you and you will get married whether it is in one month, or one year, or ten years. It will happen. He's that type that wants kids and a wife and all that comes with that."

Dimitri- my victim for today, and Chris' guardian- stepped out of the shadows. His expression was a mix of exasperation, anger and something unidentifiable, no matter how hard I tried to decipher it.

"God damn it Rose! Don't you get it?" He shouted.

"Get what Dimitri?" I yelled back to him, throwing my arms in the air.

"He will propose to you! Mark my words he will. But to him it will be like a loss and gain. He doesn't want to give up drinking. And he doesn't want to be married. But for you he will. Lissa is right. He isn't they type." Then he murmured something in Russian I couldn't hear or understand, or well cared to understand. I did take Russian for nine years.

"And is that supposed to make me feel any better? To hear the guy I love doesn't want to marry me?"

A look of pain crossed his face. Then it was gone. No matter how much we may bicker, he was still like my big brother. He let me cry on his shoulder, sat with me in the hospital when I was injured and threatened any boys I went out with. I loved him with all my heart. But like I loved Lissa and Chris. He was someone I could, would, should, and will always rely on. Dimitri was always, and I do mean always, there for me and Lissa.

"Rose," His tone softened. "You are smart, witty, funny, caring, one hell of a fighter and drop dead beautiful, and if Ivashkov is too stupid to realize what a jewel he has in his hands, well then some one else will. Some one will take care of you, not that you need it, and that someone will not be as stupid as Adrian as to let you go with out a fight. That person will give you exactly what you want. I don't know if Ivashkov is the one but I sure as hell hope that he is, for your sake. I never want to see you the way you were after Mason. It wasn't fair to you and I never did pound that little piece of shit's face in? Now did I?" He ended his speech with a slight chuckle. Like I said before, Dimitri was always there for me. His little speech made me feel so much better about myself I can't even describe the feeling. It was like I was being told how beautiful I was by every boy in the world. I didn't notice I had silent, happy tears running down my face until Dimitri strode up to me and wiped the tears away with the pad of his thumb. He pulled me into his arms and held me close.

The feelings I got from Lissa were really strong. She felt jealous that it was Dimitri, always Dimitri, that was able to make me feel better not her. She was upset about the situation I was in even though she didn't completely understand it. Liss felt relieved that I hadn't had to beat the shit out of someone today to get rid of my emotions. Also she noticed how cute me and D looked together. I pulled into her head for a few seconds to see what she saw.

She looked at us with a smile on her face. I admit we did look good together, but hey I look good with anyone. She saw something more than just a brother- sister feelings pass through us, but that could have just been her also. Aaawwww they look so adorable together. Why didn't I try to get them together before. Hmm, well they are really close, maybe I should leave now, Lissa thought. She stepped quickly out the door.

Back in my own head, my tears had stopped yet D still held me and whispered in my ear comforting things. Everything felt completely natural between us. Nothing was romantic about it. Ok I have to admit, D is hot! I mean come on, look at him. Shoulder length brown hair- silken no less-, deep chocolate eyes, totally ripped and 6'7", it was enough to make any girl drool.

I buried my head in his chest, seeking a comfort he and he alone could bring. I tried to control my breathing but it only led to more tears. I wasn't sure what exactly had brought on all of these emotions. I wasn't one to cry and very rarely was I the one seeking comfort. Dimitri placed his face in my hair and whispered in Russian knowing it would calm me down more.

We now sat on the stands in the same position. I decided to listen to what D was saying.

"Не волнуйте, что мой Повысился. Будет все в порядке. Мы - здесь для Вас, моей конфеты. Я - здесь для Вас. Я люблю Вас, мой Повысился. '' Translation: Don't worry my Rose. It will all be ok. We're here for you, my sweet. I'm here for you. I love you my Rose.

I knew he loved me, like a sister but him actually saying it was slightly shocking. He was just as distant with his emotions as I was. I cuddled closer to him. God I loved my bro.

"Hey I have an idea," I said. "Why don't we go shopping tomorrow, you know take our minds off of all the engagement stuff. I think it's what me and Lissa needs. And the fact that we need dresses for the Queen's ball in a few weeks is a bonus. What do you say?"

He looked into my eyes then my tear- stained cheeks. Slowly he nodded- he knew just how dangerous me and Liss could be when given ten ours of shopping, four credit cards and one HUGE mall.

Man this was going to be goooood. Hehe.
