Chapter 16: Let's talk!

Third POV

"Rose, ask away" said Dimitri after a while of silence and the only things that could be heard was their breath and the intake of the sandwiches they were eating.

"Umm?"Rose said as her mind was elsewhere; at the image that she had walked in on earlier. Wanting to know what their deal was but at the same time, thinking that might help step her into their business.

"What is it?" Dimitri wanted to know what she was thinking, what was the cause of her wrinkles that have started to form on her forehead.

"Who was she?" She quickly bit her lower lip hard, hoping to somehow stop the words that she had already asked. Slowly she looked up to face Dimitri, but was disappointed as she was unable to read him; he was such a closed book most of the times. She hated that he is. With quick speed Dimitri got out of the chair that he was sitting in and lifts Rose into his arms, whereas all she was able to do was gasp at the event that occurred within those short moments of time, but she was not sure to which reason for it was; the sudden speed of moving air as he lifted her off the ground or the feel of being in his arms once again.

While her thoughts were occupied with thoughts of being in his arms for longer than just few moments such as this, Dimitri was carefully carrying her upstairs into his room.

He waited for her with a curious a interest in where she could possibly be in her head, whereas his curious increased as she smiled while the clouds in her eyes were still visible to him.

Rose POV.

"Roza… Roza?" I heard a voice cutting me out of my thoughts and I was able to respond with a rude snort; wanting to stay in my thoughts where there was no reality that could cause trouble in my 'love' life.

"That's not a lady like, young lady" he said with a slight accent of an old lady with pose behaviour.

"Whatever" I knew what I was doing was rather rude, but I just couldn't help myself, at the thought of him destroying my fantasy and the events of today renter my head.

"Are you alright?" he asked with such kindness in his voice that I was taken aback by just the emotion that he only display for me since the day I met him.

"Yes..." I mumbled as I got my thoughts together before I was able to apologize for my behaviour, "I'm sorry."

"For what?" he asked with a smirk visible on his lip, his inviting lips at that.

"You know…" my voice drifted away as I turned away from his eyes that I knew were still on me; looking for something.

"Well, you are forgiven anyway" he sounded disappointed at my lack of response whereas he kept up the happy tone, but not sure if it was for my benefit or his.

After a short pause, I heard him sigh as he moved about before taking my jaw into his large, muscular hand as he turned me towards him.

"Let's talk" he said.

"About?" even though I knew what the 'talk' was going to be about, I just was not prepared for their relationship.

"You know what it's about, but I shall start." While he was collecting his thoughts, all my thoughts were on the fact that he said 'shall'; who the hell uses that anymore?

"Rose" he takes my hands in his as he cleared voice, "What you saw was not what it was" this time his hands moved mine towards his face; both side of his face as he kept them there with his hands over mine. As if afraid I might let go if he lets his down.

"It did look like what it was" my eyes fell down to my legs which had ended up on top of his during this short time, I was not even aware of it.

"Look at me Roza" he pleaded, but I couldn't lift my eyes to meet his just yet; not wanting to give in so easy which I knew would be the result if I did look up. He tried to turned my head toward his again, but I moved away from him to his surprise that he was unable to stop me from my actions.

Slowly I walked towards his window with the view of buildings etcetera, making the outside world look breathtaking from far way. I lend out the opened window that had little space.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" he asked as he came closer towards me. After a short pause in his footsteps he lend out the space beside me, but he was not looking at the scene outside instead he was looking at me.

"Yes. It must be nice living in such a place." I said.

"Place?" he looked confused at my words.

"You know, this place" I moved my arms around to ensure he understood me correctly this time.

"Yeah sure nice place" he replied with a little laugh.

"Were you even talking about the view?" I tried to do the one eyebrow thing that he does, but gave up with a disappointing look that made Dimitri laugh as he looked at me.

"You better not be laughing at me" I poked his chest as he backed away playfully with his hands up in the air.

"No ma'am" there it was again. The old fashion him.

"Good" he closed the widow as soon as he saw me shiver from the sudden breeze that came through the widow. Pulled his jacket off and slowly placed it on me.

"Dimitri, I know what you were trying to do earlier, but you don't have to try and make me feel better. It's not like we are…were anything to begin with."

"What do you mean, we weren't anything" he raised his voice at me with anger very much visible on his facial expression.

"Exactly what I mean" his anger was like an energy drink to me that drives me insane as I too shouted my words back at him, as he did to me.

With an 'argh' he left the room with a loud bang as he closed the door hard.

I sat on the bed, soon lying on my stomach as I inhaled his aftershave. At some point in my waiting to see if he would return, I fell asleep with the warmth of his smell wrapped around me with his sheets around my body.

Dimitri's POV

I had to get out before I forcefully showed her just how much she meant to be. I left the bedroom quickly with a bit more force on the door than I realized. I spent most of the time watching some late night shows until my want for her reduced. With a stop in the kitchen to pick up some late snacks for her with a hot double chocolate. With a plate in my hands I went back upstairs trying to make as little sound not to disturb her if she was occupied with something.

When I walked in, I found her and curled up. With her head buried into the pillow, I was still able to hear her sniff the pillow. Slowly I put the plate of goodies on the side table as I went to her.

Third POV

Dimitri slowly lifted the woman of his dreams away from his pillow and onto his lap as he stroked her hair away from her face; wanting no boundary between his eyes and her face.

"Rose get up love" he called out softly as he continued to play with her hair; still surprise by how lovely and smooth they were.

"Umm" Rose mumbles in her sleep as she tries to brush the noise away from her by moving her hand into the air.
