Chapter 13

My eyes suddenly flew open. It took me a moment to gather what was happening around me. I looked at my side only to find Adrian with a wary but boyish grin in his face. That was when everything came back to me.

But before I could talk, he kissed me out of nowhere. I didn't respond at first, but then I felt getting lost within his kiss.

I really really love this guy. I was about to tell him out loud when-

A cough interrupted us. I looked up only to see Dimitri glaring at us.

"We are about to land any moment, so I expect everyone to please gather your things and get ready." He said in a hostile tone then he turned away.

I stuck my tongue out to his retreating figure.

"Mature much Rose." Adrian chuckled at me.

"Hey, I never claimed to be mature!" I looked up at him and winked, and then he pulled me back and pecked me lightly in the forehead. Yep, definitely love this guy.

When we had touched down, I stood up to get my things in the above compartment, but Adrian beat me to it. He pulled it out with ease along with his and carried it out. I was in shock since this I expected from Dimitri, but from other guys? Scolding and bossing Adrian to it would be the reasonable thing. And I would have even guessed that he would insist on me carrying his since I'm much more buff than him, but his body is kinda quite nice too, come to think of it.

Hmm...You really are too good for me Adrian. I sighed to myself.

"Wow, I have a royal chauffer, who knew?" I caught up with him and walked along side him. I took his other hand, the one not holding our bags together.

He smiled down at me and kissed my temple.

"All for you babe." I chuckled and rested my head on his shoulder while we descended the steps.

I stood up in my toes and made a motion of me wanting to kiss him, but as he was about to kiss me, I turned slightly and whispered in his ear, "Aww…you're too cute for me boyfriend." I said seductively in his ears.

I pulled back and saw his eyes shine and he gave me another one of those boyish grin that I sooo adore.

"So I was, right, you have great tastes, my girl." He smiled, then he took me by the waist and lifted me up slightly so that he could kiss me while carrying the baggage .

Man, Queenie is so gonna be pissed with me.

In the next few days, we got back to our routines, well almost. I keep on avoiding Dimitri for most of the time.

And as for Adrian, we had not been in the academy for a few hours when he received a phone call from the Royal Court, his family were urging him to visit them or they will all come here to the academy to drag him out.

It took him a whole day of convincing from my part and begging from his family to finally make up his mind and visit them. I didn't want to hear anything about me holding him back from visiting his family, especially since Queen Bitch would love the idea of visiting me once again.

"Come on, it will just be a few days." I said to him. We were in his room, I was sprawled in his bed while watching him taking out a few clothes from his closet to pack for his short trip. .

He then paused at my words and groaned. He bent down and kissed me on the lips, I complied eagerly, not really liking the idea of being away from him.

"I really don't like leaving and missing this." He said against my lips. He sighed then was about to pull away when I pulled him back, but instantly pushed him off me.

"Kidding, continue packing or I might change my mind and chain you to this bed and never let you go." I winked at him. He laughed and jumped into the bed with me to cuddle with me. Sigh. This is the life.

"Chain me to the bed huh? It's getting harder and harder to leave with your threats." He said in my ear."Please, please be a good girl while I'm away, okay?". I was hugging him tightly.

"You're warning me to be a good girl? Well what about those hot girls in the court? Whom you probably dated thousands of years ago, or last week I think?" I pulled away from him.

"Which one of them are you talking about?" He said cheekily. I raised my self on top of him and made a move to kiss him. But when we were a few breaths away ,"Way to go ruin the mood idiot." I said to him while smiling seductively, but I suddenly frowned down at him and punched his chest,take note: not lightly then push off him and got up from the bed.

I stood by his closet and started packing for him.

"What are you doing? I thought you were having second thoughts on letting me visit?" He said from the bed. I looked back at him and saw he was lying there with his arms behind his head, a picture of ease.

"Can't a girl change her mind?" I said, not smiling at all. I gathered a handful of his quite expensively looking and heavy shirts and threw it at him hard.

He was thrown surprise for a moment. I sat by the foot of the bed facing away from him. I promised myself that I wouldn't be the clingy and jealous girlfriend type, but I couldn't help feeling those things. Adrian is a royal for God's sake, his parents probably prepared a girl for him to marry back at court. Or his past girlfriends were probably lining up by the Royal Airport waiting for him right now.

Thoughts we're zooming past my head, much more ridiculous than the last, but it felt much more real.

I felt strong arms hug me by the waist and rest his head in my shoulders.

"Sorry Rose. Please." He said in my ear.

"Don't worry about it." I said lightly.

"No really…I shouldn't have joked about that. I should've known better. You were already upset as it is. And now I gave you something to worry about." He said pleadingly.

He then made me face him. "You are the only one. No other girl, okay?"

I finally smiled. Forgiven. "Well you know, It could probably be a guy, waiting back there at court. Who knows." I said to lighten the mood. He laughed.

"Oh sorry. I meant, you are the only one in this world, in this time, in this moment. No girl…nor guy…Okay?"

I nodded and we kissed again.

Every night after that, he visited my dreams, we would usually be in someplace magical, too beautiful to be true- but mostly, I ignore everything because of Adrian, as long as he is there, I pretty much forget where we were.

On the third day of the absence of Adrian-he promised that he will only stay there for a week or so- I was walking along the corridors of the school building looking for Eddie, I wanted to spar with him because it had been days since I got to work out properly, avoiding Dimitri-ring any bells?

But as I was about to turn in a corner, someone grabbed my arm and pulled me by the wall.

It was Dimitri.

My eyes widened.

"So it was you!" I screamed in his face. "You were that psycho guy from that damned Masquerade party! Who do you think you are, pulling me into corners?" I pushed against his chest but he wouldn't budge.

"Wait Rose...Please." He begged me, not letting me go.

"You keep on pushing me away, saying all shit about honor and dignity, but you would pull me back in. You think you could just play me with my emotions? I told you to stay away okay? I am happy now. Let go of me!" I screamed again.

"Rose, please." He wouldn't budge. He grabbed my arms and forced me to look at him right in the eye. "Rose, I'm so sorry. Please. Please." He grabbed me suddenly and hugged me hard.

I didn't have the will to fight back anymore.

I could feel his heart breaking. And maybe just maybe, I could feel tears we're streaming down his face. And so I cried to. I cried for him, that everything would never work out between us. That never will stay the same between us. Even though I didn't feel the same way about him anymore, I hugged him back, for everything that we could have been.

I never knew how much Dimitri meant to me. He was probably the only one to understand who I really am. The things that we have been through. I wish that I could really return the feelings, it pains me to see someone dear to me, and practically my soulmate to break.

He pulled back and wiped the tears from my face and gently pushed my hair back. He had tears on the brim of his eyes.

"I'm so sorry too Dimitri. But-" My voice cracked and I just shook my head. This will never work out.

I looked away from that face, the face full of heartbreak…and saw another face, another face full of unimaginable heartbreak. A face I knew too well.

Adrian.

"So much for 'Surprise, I missed you'." He said gravely then turned and walked away.
