Rose's mind had completely gone into la la land the moment her eyes connected with his. She couldn't comprehend any coherent thoughts that were passing through her mind. She was speechless. Somehow by looking into a guy's eyes she was utterly speechless. Which is quite rare as Rose Hathaway always has something to say, whether good or bad. It was a part of her charming character.

She didn't realize during her inner battle to think properly that the guy was actually talking to her.

"What?"

He smiled amusingly. "I said are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm great, actually," she rambled.

"Good."

Great, now that will be the extent of our short lived conversation. He's going to think I'm a stupid creep that can't stop staring at him.

For several minutes Rose stared at her mysterious saviour. With his appearance she wouldn't be surprised if he was the incarnate of Adonis. You could say he had rugged facial features with his strong jaw line and high cheek bones. His brown hair touched his shoulders, most men couldn't pull off having long hair but it made this guy look sexy. She was too focused on studying his face; Rose didn't realize that he was looking at her face too.

"Dimitri! Man are you joining us or are you too preoccupied?" shouted a voice.

Sounds of laughter interrupted the ongoing staring. 'Dimitri' blushed as he turned towards his friend.

"In a minute Ivan, I'll be there soon."

He turned back towards Rose before sighing. "I'm sorry about that..."

Rose interrupted, "Don't worry about it. Thank you for, err catching me. I best get home, bye."

She walked to the door. Before leaving she took one last parting look. He was watching her go, she wasn't sure if he was disappointed that she was leaving as he had a stoic mask. Deep inside, she felt disappointed. Sighing she embraced the cool night air as she stepped out the door, ignoring the feelings bubbling inside.

"Rise and shine sleeping beauty!" chorused Lissa.

She opened the curtains letting the sunlight shine on Rose's face. She groaned and rolled over to avoid the light like a vampire. She pulled a pillow over her head to block out Lissa's cheerful voice.

"It's too early. Go away," she mumbled.

"It's late to be precise. Get up; you're wasting the day away!"

Lissa ripped the covers off of Rose's body. Rose shivered and violently chucked the pillow at Lissa.

"Lissa! I had a very late night last night..."

"So did I."

"That's not the point. The point is I'm not a morning person. I had difficulty falling to sleep last night and I've got no idea why. Ok?"

"Couldn't stop thinking about the guy who stopped you from falling flat on your face?"

Rose looked up at Lissa in disbelief.

"How did you..."

"I was there last night as well you know. I was talking to Christian and I saw you leaving; I continued talking to him. Next time I look up I see you in the arms of a really hot guy; with the way you were standing I'm sure you were giving him dreamy looks."

"Uh huh, well sorry to disappoint but no dreamy looks were shared. Christian?"

"The guy in the bar last night? The one who resembled a real-life stick man according to you?"

"Oh! Him! So, how did your chat go?"

Lissa smiled widely and jumped onto the bed. She lied down next to Rose.

"It was great. He was great. I feel like I have a connection with him, you know?"

She turned her head towards Rose.

"If you're going to go all swoony count me out. However, I'm glad this Christian has made you feel this way. Are you guys meeting up again?"

"Yes, tomorrow."

"Valentine's day? Wow, you've only just met and he's taking you out on Valentine's Day already. Very clichéd; talk about fast pace, soon you'll be getting married and having babies. Then you'll realize that it was all way too fast and you'll get divorced."

"Rose, it's only a date. It's just a coincidence that tomorrow is indeed Valentine's Day and it's not clichéd. We aren't planning the rest of our lives together."

"It is as when you're going out says it all! Valentine's Day! It's a clichéd thing to make single people more depressed than they really are; so have more than enough reason to have one-night stands?"

"Rose! That's drastic! Look I know you hate Valentine's Day but, please for once just go along with the fact that I have a date. A pretty nice, good-looking one too so, I need you to be on board and possibly help me get ready tomorrow."

"Fine, I guess it's nice that he's taking you out tomorrow..."

Lissa squealed and embraced Rose in a very tight hug not allowing Rose to finish speaking.

"Lissa can't breathe."

Lissa let go and looked down sheepishly. "Sorry."

"No problemo! So, I really fancy eating some nachos."

Rose couldn't get Dimitri out of her head. He plagued every thought of hers for the past two days. It was starting to become concerning for Rose. How could one man, who I don't really know, have such an immense effect on me? Rose was oblivious to the fact that Lissa just asked her a question.

"Rose?"

"Huh? Sorry, could you repeat what you just said."

Lissa tilted her head to the side and looked at Rose. "Are you ok? You seem to be... distracted. Is there something on your mind?"

More like someone thought Rose. "I'm fine, go on."

Lissa narrowed her eyes before continuing. "I said I'm unsure of what to wear. I could either wear my black dress or I could wear my cream skirt with a pink blouse."

"I say go for the black dress so you can make a lasting impression on him that'll be with him forever."

"You sure?"

"Liss, you're asking the girl who has had many admirers, well more like stalkers, of course I'm sure! Now get your booty into that bathroom have a relaxing bath and pretty yourself up. We wouldn't want you to go on a disastrous date like moi now, would we?"

Lissa smiled and walked into the bathroom. Rose couldn't help but sigh. Why didn't I get his number? Rose, you are seriously losing your touch! Damn! She was getting more and more frustrated and started to pace the room.

She didn't know how long she was pacing for until she heard the doorbell ring. She stopped and looked at the bedroom as if she could magically see Lissa's date standing there.

"Rose! Could you get the door, please?"

"Yeah!"

Rose stepped out of the bedroom and made her way to the door. She could see the blurry outline of a tall figure. Slowly she opened the door to reveal the man standing there. He was really good-looking albeit, not her type. His jet-black hair was styled and his piercing blue eyes were memorising. However, she couldn't help but secretly wish that they were brown. He also was holding a bouquet of flowers.

"You must be Christian, I'm Rose. Lissa is just finishing getting ready. So, um come in."

"Thank you."

He walked through the threshold and stood awkwardly at the bottom of the stairs.

"Just so you know, if you hurt her I will chop off your balls," spoke Rose innocently.

Christian's eyes widened. "I didn't realize that Lissa had a guard dog. I won't hurt her, like every man alive, I value my balls."

"Glad we cleared that up."

The sound of soft thumps echoed down the stairs making Rose and Christian look up. You could hear Christian suck in a deep breath. Rose smiled at the view. Lissa was wearing the black dress, which she suggested, that clung to her body and was wearing a nice pair of black heels.

"You look beautiful," said Christian.

Lissa blushed at his comment and looked at the flowers.

"For me?"

He nodded and handed the flowers to her. She smelt them as soon as they were in her hands.

"They're lovely, thank you. Um so we should get going now..."

"I'll put the flowers in water for you." Rose grabbed the flowers and ushered Lissa and Christian out of the house. "So, kids have fun. Don't do anything you'll regret and bring her back by twelve."

"You have a curfew?" asked Christian amusingly to Lissa.

"No, she likes to be in charge. It's best if you do bring me back by then as the consequences aren't pretty."

"That's right guys, so bye," said Rose as closed the door behind them and laughed.

"I'm so cool that I just kicked my best friend out of her own house!"
