Thought i might upload another chapter since i was bored after working all night.
Enjoy :)
"Theres no way Rose, I was told just two days ago he was in America?" Lissa tried to explain that what Oksana had mentioned was incorrect but I didnt believe her, oksana knew about Elena, she didnt ask she just knew. All night I had been on edge, thats how I knew, I felt like something was about to bounce in front of me and shock me, now that something would be Dimitri. I needed to avoid him at all cost.
"Lissa I know you think he is there but he is not, I can feel him, I know he is here" I sighed dropping my head to my palms.
"Well in an hour we will be out of Bai Bai and on our way to the Moroi council meeting, dont worry about him, we will be fine."
"hmm" was my only reply.
"Elena, come on its past your nap time, lets get in the car and go" I picked up my yawning daughter and led her to the back seat where she slept on my lap.
Adrian was silent the who way through, I think he heard what was freaking me out and knew better than to push me to talk, thats why he was the best person other than lissa in my life. I honestly couldnt live without him, neither could elena.
We arrived to a large gate, and once allowed entry were taken to a large building one which reminded me of the place I was held captive by Dimitri in.
as we were shown our rooms and debriefed on what was to take place in the next week I knew this would be my only free day with Elena, I decided to make use.
"Adrian tell Lissa and Christian im heading out, I dont want Elena to miss out on the sights" I kissed his cheek and grabbed my purse, as well as the company cars keys that were on our rooms bench.
"Want me to tag along? Its either that or I test this places scotch" Adrian winked.
"Tell me which ones the best" I winked back and left, his face told me that wasnt the response he was expecting.
I wasnt so worried about Dimitri now that I was far from Bai bai, but something at the back of my brain nagged at me. What would I do if I saw him, what if he had a family of his own, a wife and kids. Would I even care? Of course I would. Damn it im in no way prepared for this.
I was driving around looking for a park or something outdoors and entertaining enough for Elena, as we went over the speed bumps she started crying.
"ohh mummies sorry I went over so hard shhhh, dont cry baby" I held her hand in my left as I held the steering wheel with my right, I only glanced at her in the back seat but that was enough, my face turned towards the road again and I slammed the breaks almost hitting the car in front which had also slammed the breaks on.
"fuck, oh shit. You didnt hear that" I spoke to the review mirror as I looked at my daughter.
Thump!
I was thrust against my seatbelt, and almost chocked. I immediately looked to make sure Elena was okay, she was crying, but seemed fine.
The car however was not, the whole boot was in a U shape around the car that hit us.
"Are you kidding me?" I shouted as I got out of the car and into the back seat to unbuckle Elena and hold her. I climbed out of the car with Elena crying.
"Im so sorry are you alr- Roza?" I knew as soon as he started speaking, I looked away from my now quiet Elena to her father. My free hand flew to my mouth.
"what are you doing here?" I asked, acting nonchalant.
"me? What are you?" He looked from me to Elena.
"Uh never mind, what on earth Dimitri we were stopped for over a minute, clearly your driving has declined in the last few years." just because it had been two years didnt mean I couldn't be a bitch.
"Im sorry I was distracted, im sorry if I hurt you" his face was pained "Or your child?"
"we're fine thank you"
" I take it Adrian and yourself made amends?" he raised an eyebrow looking from me to Elena.
"We're not doing this, you and me, not now not ever, but if you want I can give you a pen a paper then turn around for 30 seconds so when I turn back you will be gone and ill have another letter from you" I placed my hand on my hip balancing myself.
"Roza-"
"No Dimitri, dont bother, I really dont want to hear any sorry ass excuse or whatever your about to say, so save it" I turned and reached inside the car to grab my purse.
I found my phone and dialled the first person I could think of.
"Where are you its getting late" adrian sounded worried
"Yeah, I was in an accident, Elena is shaken up and the cars bad" I sigh.
"what are you okay, is she? What happened?"
I looked to Dimitri who was studying me very hard apparently.
" you know, Russian drivers. Look were fine but will you get us, just find my phone because I have no clue where we are" I hoped Dimitri knew who I was talking too.
"ill be there soon" he hung up.
"ill pay for the car" Dimitri offered.
"No its fine, its the Moroi councils they wont care." I shrugged.
"Why are you here?" he asked again.
"Business" I shrugged "you?"
"I ask myself that everyday" he sighed.
"Thats not a very good attitude"
"Im not a very good man" he states matter-of-factly.
"Two years and your still on this self loathe trip, Dimtiri grow up" I was beginning to become fed up.
" I wasnt good for you, im not a man worth redemption dont you get it Roza"
"no I dont, I get that your an idiot Comrade. I know everything that you did, because you did it to me. Time and time again, so think about that next time. Your not just responsible for your own life anymore Dimitri"
He honestly looked hurt, by my words, but I didnt care, well that and the fact that adrian arrived.
"Rose thank god I found you, what were you doing this far, here give me Elena" Adrian ran up and thankfully took Elena out of my numb arm, only then did he notice Dimitri.
" You have got to be kidding me, him? He hit you?" adrian glared at Dimitri
"just my luck huh" I rolled my eyes at Adrian.
Looking back at Dimitri I spoke to him once more " You did bad things, doesnt make you a bad person, because I can tell you right now, you did a lot of amazing things too" without realising I had been looking at Elena as I spoke the last thing, and Dimitri caught on.
"Rose, wait, what does that mean?" he grabbed my arm as I was turning away.
"Dimitri it means what it means, I dont need to elaborate" I pull my arm away and walk to the car,
"Rose!" Dimitri called out " Is she?" I knew what he was asking, I had an internal battle in 30 seconds to decide whether or not I was to tell him, but I wasnt a liar.
" Look at her, who's else would she be" I closed the car door and we drove off, I watched through tinted windows as his face registered the shock.
He now knew.
