Hi sorry for the late update but I had a family thing! So anyways here's the next chapter and keep alert cause I have planned everything out and you can expect so much more!!! YAY! Disclaimer: I do not own anything!!!!!!!

I was greeted by a wide eyed Adrian Ivashkov when I stepped onto the tarmac arm in arm with Lissa. Talk about a big day! But I must admit I did look pretty-badass-guardian-meets-goddess! I kept walking until we were just inches apart. Some small part of me was strangely longing for the closeness of the spa, but she was shoved out of my mind pretty quickly.

Lissa dropped my arm to take Christian's hand as he helped her up the steps leading to the jet door. This seemed to wake Adrian from his daze.

"My, my, guardian Hathaway you do deliver!" he stammered all the while running his eyes up and down my body before stopping on the ring. Shoot! I forgot I put it on my promise ring finger. That must have been why Lissa gave me an odd look earlier when she took my hand. But who cares, everyone seems to think I'm already pregnant with Adrian's love child so why not have some fun.

"Thank you very much, Mr Ivashkov. But I do believe I owe you a bit more considering I did not buy these myself…"

"Well, I have an excellent tailor at the court and I thought it a shame to let him go to waste." He smiled and I blushed and giggled. He reached to take my hand that had the ring on it and hesitated, looking at me. I gave him a small nod and he continued to take my hand in his and lead me up the steps, which were quite steep mind you.

We sat at the very back of the jet; I sat in the aisle seat, as a guardian does. Lissa and Christian sat in the aisle next to us. The trip back to the academy was extremely uneventful. Adrian made small talk and I complied answering most of the questions asked about my childhood and friends. Christian and Lissa were in a lip lock for most of the flight, which was almost vomit worthy. I caught Adrian looking at them and smirked.

He looked at me and grinned, "Would you like to show them up, little dhampir?" he gave me a seductive smile, took my hand and raised his eye brow.

I grinned, "What the heck, anything to get them off my mind." I lent in towards him, "besides everyone thinks I'm pregnant with your love child or something, so what's one make out session going to do?" I grinned and placed my hand around his neck.

He replied by wrapping his arms around me and pulling me towards him, before his lips crushed mine. I parted my lips and suddenly we were all over each other, I was as if I was dying of thirst and he was the only water for miles. I drank long and deep. Adrian tasted like tobacco and beer at first but then peppermint and his arm around my waist felt like they were on fire. I twisted my hand in his hair. Eventually after a few minutes we both came up for air. I straightened myself in my seat and Adrian did the same. I rested my head on his shoulder and looked down the plane and came face to face with at least ¾ quarters of the passengers staring at us.

I blushed a deep red, as everyone continued to gawk. Adrian just smiled smugly. He looked so smug there could have been canary feathers on his lips. "I'll take that for your payment." He whispered in my ear. I giggled and blushed again.

Remembering our audience, I turned fully so that I could glare at them. "Excuse me but what is everyone looking at? As far as I can tell the back of the plane is still attached." Alberta raised an eyebrow at me, I glared at her slightly annoyed. "What? Are you all blind or have not noticed the two lovebirds over there?" Yep Lissa and Christian were still going. I continued undisturbed. "They've been make out for like half an hour, we got at it for all of 2 minutes and you're all looking at us like we're from another planet. What the hell?" I pulled myself out of my chair and placed myself in Adrian's lap. I watched with a smug grin as most of the females quickly turned away (most blushing) and then all of the men (most after a slap across the head).

I felt Adrian's arms snake themselves around my waist. Without thinking I leant my head back onto Adrian's shoulder (which was surprisingly comfortable) and that was how we stayed. The only sound was Adrian's content sigh and then what seemed like only 2 seconds later (but was obviously about an hour) Most of the time Adrian's hand swirled the ring on my finger around and I couldn't help being hypnotized by the small rainbows that the diamonds reflected. The next sound was his cursing as the stewardess came into the cabin to announce that we would be landing soon and that we needed to be seated and in our seatbelts, because there was expected turbulence.

I reluctantly slipped from Adrian's lap, he still looked smug but there was some emotion hidden in his eyes that I probably wasn't meant to see; contentment, love, joy? Adrian Ivashkov? Never.

The plane finally came to a stop. I found that one of my hands was tightly squeezing Adrian's hand on one arm rest while my other hand clawed at the seat. Let's just say I was a little worried by the turbulence we had. Adrian helped me off the plane and carried my bags to my room after we had said good bye to everyone. I let him practically drag me into the room I was so tired. I flopped down on the bed taking Adrian with me. He may not be perfect but I was tired and a little on edge after the events of the last few days. All I wanted was for a strong arm to wrap around me and hold me, I wanted someone to help me keep my fragile hold on reality. Adrian complied and once again I felt his arms snake around my waist as he held me close and pulled the blanket over us.

I was so tired that I didn't even care about the fact I had a stake strapped to my ankle or a mini black cocktail dress on that Adrian Ivashkov was next to me, I just wanted to sleep. I paced my breathing with Adrian's and soon found myself slipping into the peaceful dark nothingness of sleep.

Ok so I've planned everything that's going to happen from here. I just have to write it. I promise the next chap will be a bit more exciting. I know this was a bit boring but I wanted people to see the chemistry and tension forming between Adrian and Rose. Hanks for the reviews!
