Disclaimer: I, unfortunately, do not own Vampire AAcademy but if Richelle Mead wants to give me Adrian I would be more than happy to accept =P
A/N: I almost always include pictures of outfits in my profile.
RPOV:
I woke up only to find that the room was empty. I rolled over in bed and a check of the clock told me it was 10:54. I slept like a rock last night after I cried myself to sleep. Adrian must have had to carry me to my bed. I really hoped he wouldn't mention last night ever again because I, naturally, was embarrassed that I had so totally let myself go.
A quick check of the bond showed that Lissa was at breakfast along with Adrian and Christian. Fortunately I didn't smell so I just put on the clothes I had from yesterday back on (A/N: it's on my profile as the outfit from Ch. 2) and went to join them.
"Ah sleeping beauty finally awakes," Christian teased me upon my arrival.
"Shut it, Pyro, unless you want me to get really mad," I threatened, adding my signature Hathaway glare.
Christian looked genuinely scared but Adrian just said, "Looks like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed."
Lay off, you guys, she just woke up," Lissa defended me. In return I flashed her a smile to which she returned one.
"So, anyways, now that Rose is finally here," Christian said with an air of impatience, "let's get back to business. Have you rented that house in Forks yet, Adrian? Oh, and have you enrolled us at Forks High School?"
"Oh joy more school," I muttered under my breath.
Lissa shot me a look but I just rolled my eyes.
"Yes I have," Liss replied, "Unfortunately, their school year has already started so we'll be coming in about 2 weeks late."
"Oh, this just keeps getting better and better," I said sarcastically, adding an eye roll to finish it off. This time, everyone gave me a look.
"I paid the rent for the house so that we can at least have somewhere to live," Adrian said.
"Well now that that's all settled, can we please go do something," I whined, sounding like an impatient 5-yr. old.
APOV:
We eventually settled on going canoeing. I don't personally know how that happened but whatever. Lissa wanted to see the scenery and Rose really wanted to go for the workout. I had a hard time denying my Lil' Dhamphir anything so I, typically agreed. Same goes for Christian with Lissa.
"Oh my gosh, it's so beautiful," Lissa said, her face alight with joy. Christian smiled at her, his face portraying a softness and kindness that only she could bring out in him.
Rose, meanwhile was the only one who was pulling the paddles. She looked happy just to be doing something. I thought back to that night and how I had been downright scared to see my strong lil' Dhamphir like that. It was so much better to see her enjoying life.
"Hey, you know you guys could help," she teased.
"Ah but we wouldn't want to take the fun away from our little Rosie now would we?" I replied to which she replied with a glare. Lissa gave us an amused smile along with a raised eyebrow from Christian. I put my arms up as if to say "what."
"Oh nothing," she said, but in a way that made it definitely not sound like nothing.
"What?" Rose questioned, obviously not having seen our little exchange.
"Oh nothing," Lissa repeated with that same tone of voice again.
Really confused now, I turned to Rose who looked pretty much as confused as I felt.
"Ah, crap! You're getting really good at hiding things," Rose complained which only made me just that much more confused.
"I was trying to read her mind through the bond, but she's hiding something from me," she explained while Lissa just smiled deviously.
LPOV (Lissa):
Oh thank God that I was able to manage to keep Rose out of my head. Christian and I had been talking, well I was mainly doing all the talking but whatever, and we both agreed on… well I can't think about it because Rose might find out, but all will be revealed tonight.
Our canoeing was finally over so we changed back into our clothes and then went to a little Italian restaurant called La Bella Italia.
"Hello, my name is Amber and I'll be your server tonight. What can I get you to drink?" our waitress asked. She was pretty and probably about 19 or 20. She had barely noticed the rest of us and was speaking only to Adrian. (A/N: Amber is the waitress Edward and Bella had when they were in Port Angeles at La Bella Italia, in Twilight. She was the one who kept flirting with Edward.) Adrian, on the other hand, didn't even look at her as he was too busy laughing with Rose at something she said. We all ordered cokes and Amber stalked off looking dissatisfied.
She later returned with our breadsticks and to take our orders. I just ordered mezzaluna. Rose, who had been so busy talking with Adrian, hadn't even looked at her menu and just picked the first thing she saw, which was mushroom ravioli (A/N: mushroom ravioli is what Bella ordered).
"Hey Liss, what you starin at?" Christian asked me.
"Huh? Oh, wait, what? I'm sorry?" I said, as if snapping out of a trance.
"Never mind," he said while laughing at me. I faked a sad face and he instantly stopped.
"Oh I'm sorr-"
"I'm just kidding!" I said, cutting him off.I gave him a gentle kiss on the lips which eventually turned into a full on make out. Fortunately, Rose and Adrian were still to absorbed in one another to notice the rest of us.
Once we finished our meals, we got the check. I paid for it tonight, despite Adrian's protests. That's when I realized maybe I should have let him pay.
"Hey Adrian, I think someone has a little crush on you," I teased and showed them the number that our waitress had scribbled on the bottom.
"Doesn't matter. My heart belongs to my little dhamphir," Adrian said while reaching his arm around Rose.
"Does not!" she replied and gave his arm a friendly swat, although I noticed that she didn't entirely push it away.
Back at the hotel:
"Hey Rose, will you share a room with me tonight? Adrian can share with Christian," I asked.
Rose smiled at me and said, "Sure."
Once we were in the room, I finally revealed what I had been hiding all day. We were both curled up on the couch.
"So Rose…" I said, dragging out the last syllable.
"What?" she asked, her voice already weary.
"Hey! Don't use that tone! And there is absolutely no reason to be afraid. I just want to talk about you," I told her.
"Me?" she seemed surprised.
"Yes you silly," I teased, "Someone needs a boyfriend and I know just the right guy."
"Seriously, Liss? OK, fine, I'll go along with it. Who?" she inquired.
"Adrian, duh!"
APOV
"So, hey man, you like Rose right?" Christian asked.
"Well obviously," I said, looking at him as if to really?.
"Why don't you just ask her out then?" he said, ignoring the look.
"It's complicated," I mumbled. I was surprised that I was acting so shy, but I mean it's not like I could tell Christian that Rose's mentor was her boyfriend but that he then dumped her to be with Christian's aunt.
"No it's really no, dude," he argued, "Lissa and I have both seen how much fun you have together. Lissa even says that your whole aura lights up when she is around. Just ask her out already."
I was slightly intrigued. Christian wasn't one for romance and sappy remarks, but yet here he was, being serious, telling me to ask out Rose.
"Oh, and Adrian, do it fast. If you repeat what I'm about to tell you I will happily burn you to ashes," he formed a fireball in his hands to emphasize the threat " Lots of guys think Rose is hot, so tons of guys will be drooling over her at school, where you won't be."
A/N: Sorry it's a short chapter but I'll be coming out with 2 chapters very soon! Please R&R (Read and Review)
