A/N: Hey everyone! Thank you so much for the nice reviews! I hope you will like the new chapter! I do not own Vampire Academy or the characters.
Today Dimitri and I had to work but I was not too unhappy because I could spend time with Lissa. I did not have a chance to tell her about the engagement yet. I never thought that I would be excited to marry but I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Dimitri. My mood changed when I saw him. Adrian. I did not know that he was at court again and now I was really nervous. How would he react to my engagement? How could I start a conversation? I just wanted to run away but I knew that I had to face him even if he was still mad at me.
"Adrian! I did not know you came back! How have you been?" I asked carefully.
"Actually, I did not plan to come back but then I realised that I had to talk to you. Look, I am really sorry I was so upset the other day but the whole situation is not easy for me. I mean I still have to deal with the death of my aunt and then the thing with you and Dimitri. I just hope that we can be friends again because I really need you right now." He looked so sad that it almost broke my heart.
"Hey, you do not have to apologise. I am the one to blame and I am so sorry for that. I want you to know that I am always there for you. I have to go to work now but we could meet tonight and talk if you want to."
"That would be really great, Rose."
I was relieved that he was not mad at me anymore but I was also worried about him. When I arrived at Lissa's apartement she knew immediatly that something was bothering me.
"Rose? What is the reason of your concern?"
"Well, I met Adrian on my way to you. I am so worried about him. He has gone through so much lately and I was not there for him."
"Hey, you have not done anything wrong. I am sure if you two just talk about anything he will be fine. Rose? Is that what I think it is? Are you engaged?"She must have seen my ring and was now bouncing up and down and I had to tell her every detail of last night.
After I told Lissa everything she wanted to know, I met Dimitri and we walked home together. I almost forgot about Adrian until I saw him standing in front of our door.
"Hey little dhampire. Are you ready to go?" He asked smiling. I realised how much I missed my old nickname and smiled although Dimitri was totally confused.
"Adrian? I did not know you were here but I guess you two met eachother already."
"Yes, I met Adrian in the morning and we wanted to talk about everything. So I think we should just go." I said. It was kind of a akward situation between the three of us so I gave Dimitri a peck on the lips and pulled Adrian with me. None of us said something until we reached the park. Adrian spoke first.
"So, Rose, did anything happen while I was gone? I mean except your birthday and I know I am a bit late but I wanted to give you this." He pulled out a small box. Inside was a wonderful bracelet with green emeralds on it. They had the same colour as his eyes.
"Wow, Adrian, this is so beautiful. Thank you so much. And since you asked I have something to tell you. Dimitri and I are going to marry. I know it is early but I just know that he is my soulmate. So how do you feel about it?"
It felt like years until he said something.
"Wow, little dhampire, I have to say I did not expect this but I am happy for you. You are my friend and you can count on me. Whenever you need anything just call me, alright? I have to go now because I have to attend to a stupid dinner with my annoying parents. Have fun with Dimitri." He winked and then he hugged me.
When I arrived at my room, Dimitri was already waiting for me.
"Hey, is everything alright?" I could hear the concern in his voice.
"Everthing is perfect. Adrian and I are friends now and I think he is happy for us. I just hope that he will find his soulmate someday. Just like we found eachother." I smiled and kissed Dimitri. I was so lucky right now. I had amazing friends, a great job and a wonderful fiancé.
What I did not know was that if everything is great in my life, a tragedy is not far away...
