Ayden sat in one of the courts coffee shops. She doesn't drink much coffee, so instead she was drinking some warm tea. She had a strange dream last night. One that felt all too real for it to be a dream. She wanted to share it with someone, but she didn't know who. Nelly had said that they'd be in court for a few weeks, getting rest for their next tour, but she must be busy. Ayden didn't tell her parents, even if they did have that talk Adrian had advised them to have. Ayden didn't feel like her parents were complete douche bags, but she didn't feel all warm and fuzzy with them either.
She took another sip of her tea. She could tell Adrian, but he wouldn't be up at this hour. Besides, it would be awkward to tell him that the dream was about him. She sighed and took another sip. Ayden looked up and looked around the room. Guardians lined the walls, as they always did. Ayden looked over to the cash register. A few Moroi guys were paying for their coffee.
Ayden looked back to her tea. She stared into it, thinking. The dream was like one she had never had. It was about Adrian and her. They were at the bar they had first met at. No one was there besides them. Adrian was smiling at her, the smile that always sent warm shivers down her back. He had walked over to her and kissed her. The kiss felt real. So hot and hungry. Ayden couldn't believe how she was feeling. No man had ever made her feel this way. As the dream faded, Ayden felt her heart shatter. She didn't want it to end. She woke up with her heart racing, and her lips tingling.
Ayden smiled into the cup as she recollected the dream. Her fingers brushed against her lips, remembering how wonderful they felt against Adrian's. She could feel her cheeks turn warm as she thought of him. She shook her head. She couldn't believe it. She was falling in love with Adrian Ivashkov. She knew it was a risky thing, because of his past relationships. All the girls, all the break ups. But something told Ayden that this was different. Maybe it was her own emotions.
She finished her tea, and decided to go walk around. A mornig, or in the moroi world, evening walk, was good for her. She could get the exercise, and the stress relief. She put a tip on the table and grabbed her sweater. She walked out of the coffe house, and headed toward the path that went to the gardens.
Adrian woke up with a smile on his face. He had a great nights sleep. He had a great night at the dance too. The best part about it was the kiss. The kiss that sent him a warm feeling into his stomach. The feeling only Ayden could bring him. He only regretted getting the hottest kiss in his mind.
He should go tell Ayden, but he was still smiling like a fool. He decided to take a shower and then go find Ayden. So he hopped into the shower, and found himself humming the song that Ayden had played last night. He laughed at himself. He's love sick.
He got out of the shower and put a plane black T, a nice sweater to go with it, and his favorite pair of jeans. He took about twenty minutes to style his hair just right. He finally got it to look messy, but sexy. He thought about shaving, but thought the shadow looked good on him. He smiled at how Ayden would react to it. He splashed on some cologne. Not a lot though, he didn't want to be drowning in it.
Once he was satisfied he went out in search of Ayden.
Ayden walked in the garden looking at all the flowers. It would be so sad when winter comes. The white blanket of snow, covering the lively color of the flowers. This is why Ayden loved spring and summer so much. She could see so many beautiful colors during these seasons. Winter was of course two seasons away, but she still dreaded the thought.
Ayden sat down on a bench near a patch of wild flowers. She watched as they swayed in the wind. The many beautiful colors blurring into a canvas of colors. It was enchanting really.
"Miss Fairmont?" a voice called. Ayden looked up to see Guardian Belikov. She smiled up at him.
"Good morning." she said. He smiled down at her.
"Good morning." he said. "Enjoying the scenery?" he asked. She shrugged.
"Can't really appreciate it when your asleep." she replied. He chuckled.
"It is beautiful." he said. She nodded in agreement.
"What's your favorite season?" she asked.
"I like all of them. One couldn't go without the other. They balance each other out." he said. She looked up at him with a sarcastic grin.
"I didn't know you were a poet." she joked. He smiled.
"What is your favorite season?" he asked. She looked back down to the flowers.
"Spring. It's the most colorful of the seasons." she answered.
"That's reasonable." he said.
"So what brings you to the gardens Guardian Belikov?" Ayden asked. He smiled at her.
"I just wanted a peaceful walk. It has been an exciting morning for me." he said. Ayden looked at him curious.
"Why what happened?" she asked.
"I have just received word that I will become a guardian again." he said. Ayden mouth dropped open and she let out a small squeak.
"Really?" she asked. He nodded. She jumped up and hugged him. "Oh my gosh! That is great news!" she shouted. She pulled back to get a look at his face. He was smiling fully. He was even more happy than she was. "Who's going to be your charge?" she asked.
"I'm not sure yet. They haven't assigned me to anyone yet." he said. She hugged him once more, and let him go stepping back.
"I'm so happy for you." she said.
"Thank you." he said.
"Dimitri!" they heard someone shout. They looked over to find a huffing Rose. She was smiling from ear to ear. "Is it true?" she asked. As if Dimitri knew what she was talking about he chuckled.
"It's true." he said. Her smile brightened.
"That's great! We have to celebrate!" she said. Dimitri nodded and turned back to Ayden. She could sense something about these two, but couldn't place her finger on it.
"Excuse me Miss Fairmont." he said. She waved him off.
"Go ahead. Have fun. Congratulations Guardian Belikov." she said. He smiled and nodded at her once more and then walked off towards Rose. Ayden smiled after him, she was happy for him.
Then her cell went off. She looked at the caller ID and found it was Nelly.
HEY YOUR BF IS LOOKING FOR U
Ayden wondered why Adrian was looking for her at the band practice. He knew that she always went on a walk in the mornings. She text her back.
TELL HIM IM HEADED OVER TO HIS PLACE
Adrian headed back to his place, after Nelly said that Ayden text her saying she was going to be there. He got to his apartment and found her just getting there. He ran up behind her and hugged her. She stiffened in surprise.
"Guess who?" Adrian said. Ayden relaxed at the sound of his voice. Adrian let go of her so she could face him. She looked at him pissed, but she was smiling. He smiled at her too.
"Do you know that I could have burnt your ass up for scaring me like that?" she asked. He laughed.
"Ya. Probably, but I couldn't help it." he said. She smiled at him and rolled her eyes. Then Adrian gave her a smug smile. "Did you have nice dreams?" he asked. She looked at him confused. He smiled a cocky grin. She narrowed her eyes at him.
"I knew it was you!" she shouted, hitting him on the arm. "You and your spirit using power. You walked into my dream didn't you." she said. He laughed again.
"Yes I did." he said, then he gave her a sexy smirk. "I didn't know you could kiss me like that." he teased. She gave the smirk right back.
"I can kiss you in many ways." she said.
"Oh ya? Show me." he said. She laughed and turned around to go into his apartment.
"I could, but I wont." she said. He followed her inside.
They both sat inside his place drinking some wine, and joking around. Ayden had been to his place once, but she hadn't really looked around. So while Adrian went to get them more wine she looked around his kitchen. She found that he doesn't keep much food in here, mostly liquor. Some dishes, and mail. A fat envelope sat on his table. Ayden, being the curious tyke she is, picked it up.
"What's this?" she asked Adrian. He looked back to her and the envelope.
"Oh, those are some pictures that my aunt wanted me to have." he said. Ayden looked at the envelope.
"Pictures?" she asked curiouse. Adrian walked over to her, wine bottle in hand.
"I haven't opened it up yet, want to look at them with me?" he asked. She gave him a cute smile.
"You wont be embarrassed if some of your naked baby pictures turn up?" she teased. He kissed her cheek.
"Not at all. It'll only give me cuteness points." he said. Ayden laughed and followed him back into the living room.
She sat down next to Adrian on his couch. While he opened it she poured the glasses full of wine. She handed Adrian his cup as he pulled out the first photo. It was of Adrian's father. A younger version. His father was a very good looking man. He looked just like Adrian did, only his face was more round and his hair was slicked back.
"Add a hat and he looks like a guy from the mafia." Adrian said. Ayden laughed as Adrian pulled out the next picture. This one was of the queen and his father. His father looked around the age of thirteen in the picture. The queen had her arms wrapped around him and they both smiled in the picture.
"Were your aunt and father close?" Ayden asked. Adrian shurgged. He honestly didn't know.
He pulled out the next picture. It was a picture of the queen carrying a baby. Adrian smiled at the picture.
"Is that you?" Ayden asked pointing to the infant child. Adrian laughed and nodded.
"Ya. I was cute wasn't I?" he joked. Ayden laughed as she took the picture from Adrian.
He pulled out another picture, it was a little one. It was one of the photos you would get from a disposable camera. Adrian looked at the picture confused. It was a picture that was familiar to him, but not of him. It was a picture of a bald little boy and a girl. But the girl looked like Ayden. They were eating ice cream in the picture. Ayden got a look at it too. Her expression changed from curious to confused.
"Your aunt had a picture of me?" she asked.
"I thought it was you. Don't you have this picture?" he asked, remembering seeing these two in another picture, only they had their arms around each other.
"I think. Why would your aunt have a picture of me and Rocky?" she asked.
"Who?" Adrian asked.
"Rocky. The kid in the picture." she explained. Adrian still didn't get it. "Rocky is a kid I made friends with one summer. Before my Damien died, my family used to go up to our summer cabin. I made friends with Rocky. Well I didn't really know his real name. We called each other code names. He called me Birdy and I called him Rocky." she elaborated.
"So why does my aunt have a picture of you two?" Adrian asked. Ayden shrugged and took the photo from him.
"Hey look! There's writing on the back." she said. Adrian looked over to see that there was writing on the back. It was his mother's handwriting.
Adrian and a friend name Birdy.
Summer home, vacation with the Fairmonts
Ayden and Adrian looked at each other confused. Then when Adrian looked back at the picture, he started to get small memories of the summer. The little girl, the family she was with, the pact.
"Oh. My. God." Ayden let out. They both started to laugh.
"This is weird." Adrian said.
"We knew each other when we were kids." Ayden said. Adrian pulled out another picture. It was them again. This time they were having a water gun fight.
"Do you remember any of this?" Adrian asked.
"A little." Ayden said. "I remember the water fight a little. The party our parents made us go to." she said rolling her eyes. Ayden then turned towards Adrian. "Do you remember the day we had to go back to school?" she asked. Adrian remembered.
"The day we made the pact." he said. He held out his pinkie finger. Ayden took it with her pinkie.
"Together forever." they both said. They looked up from their pinky's to each other.
"I guess we kept that promise." Adrian said. Ayden smiled.
"How time flys." she said. Adrian smiled back at her.
"Who knew the girl I used to find bugs with would turn out so hot." Adrian joked. Ayden laughed.
"Who knew the little bald kid I used to hang out with would turn out to be so sexy." she teased back. Adrian laughed along with her.
He leaned in to kiss her. She didn't pull back or tease him this time. She let their lips meet. They both were in a world of bliss. They kissed for the longer than they had before. Playing catch up. Adrian's hands traveled down to her hips. Her shirt was rolled up, and Adrian could feel the warmth of her skin as he touched her hips. Ayden moaned under his touch. Adrian pulled back to look down at her.
Both of them were breathing hard, and smiling.
"I've never been that loud before." Ayden whispered. Adrian chuckled. He bent over and kissed her again. He moved to her neck, making her moan again. Adrian loved the sound of her.
Then a jingling tune came from her pants pocket. Adrian got up and looked at Ayden. Ayden sighed and pulled out her phone. She checked the caller ID. It was her mother. She looked at Adrian wondering if she should answer it.
"She's going to keep calling you if you don't answer her." Adrian pointed out. Ayden sighed and nodded.
"Hello?" she answered. Adrian watched her as she spoke to her mother. "Ya." she said. "When?" she asked. A few seconds later Ayden sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Okay, I'll be right there." she said, and hung up. She looked at Adrian.
"What's up?" he asked. She shook her head.
"My mom wants some mother daughter bonding time. She's busy the rest of the week. She's only open today." Ayden explained. Adrian nodded understanding.
"Go and spend time with your mom. It'll be good for the both of you." he said.
"I'm sorry." Ayden said.
"Its okay. We'll have plenty of chances." he winked at her. She giggled and kissed his cheek. She got to the door, and turned back to Adrian.
"I'll see you later tonight, okay?" she asked. Adrian nodded and she left.
Adrian slouched back into the couch. He sighed and looked back at the wine and pictures. Even when she's gone I'm still turned on, he thought to himself.
