I'm feeling happy today, so I shall give you a chapter!
Chapter 14
He stared at me for a moment before taking my face in his hands and kissing me. "I love you." He said. I grinned, thinking of how lucky I was to have him. We found our clothes and got dressed. Then we snuck out of the door and walked towards my dorm, hand in hand.
I was tired, and sore, so I decided to go back to bed. I pulled on a tank top and some shorts and curled up beside Adrian on my bed.

"Blood whore." Someone whispered as I passed them in the cafeteria that next Monday.
"Slut." Someone else said.
"Yeah she slept with him." A different girl said to her friend.
"Jesse?" The girl's friend asked, "Again?"
I had gotten used to the rumors now, and they had mostly died down before prom. But now they were worse, because they were rumoring I had slept with several different people, along with Adrian. Well, rumors had to start somewhere.
"When are people going to get tired of gossiping about me sleeping with half the guys in the senior class?" I asked Lissa as I sat down.
"I don't know Rose." I'm sorry.
"Well I've gotten used to it. It's just annoying." It was our first day back after Spring break, and I was dead tired.
I sensed Adrian come up behind me. "Hey sexy." He kissed me on the cheek as he sat down next to me.
"Hey." I responded. "You know you aren't helping the rumors, right? Not that I mind…"
"Yeah" He said, pondering. "Sorry about those."
"It's just annoying." I repeated what I had told Lissa. He was wearing dark jeans today, and a red button down.
I finished my lunch. "I have to go take care of something." I said as I stood up. I kissed Adrian lightly on the lips, and waved at Lissa. "See you later."
I got to the Moroi boys dorm, and found him quickly. "Jesse Zeklos." I said, blocking his path outside and tapping my foot. "Shame on you."
He looked nervous. "Oh hi Rose."
"Don't 'Hi Rose' me. I know what you did Jesse."
"You do?"
"Of course I do." I said uncrossing my arms and placing them on my hips. "And you will pay for it." I turned on my heel and walked out of the dorm.

"Adrian stop it!" I giggled. "Adrain!" I got out between giggles. How did he know I was so ticklish?
He kissed me lightly on the lips. "Better?" He asked.
"Much." I kissed him again.
"Guys!" Lissa came in, a hand over her eyes. "I thought we were going to keep it PG-13!"
"Well its nice to see you too Lissa." I said, and Adrian went to set up the Wii. We had an odd tradition for Monday nights. We always had rock band tournaments in Adrian's room. I was the current champion, a fact that Adrian, Eddie, and Christian found appalling. I grabbed the four controllers we had, and took my favorite of the two guitar controllers. It was black with red words over it. I handed Lissa the acoustic-looking guitar. Adrian was at drums, scrolling through the songs. Christian and Eddie got there soon after we had finished setting up, and Eddie took the microphone.
"How about 'Sex on Fire'?" Adrian asked.
"Real funny Adrian." I said, glaring at him.
"What? The guitar in that song is awesome."
"It is." Eddie chimed in.
"Fine!" They clicked on the song. I chose expert, Lissa chose easy, and the boys both chose hard. Clicking the keys at the right time, I noticed Adrian was having a hard time. "Nice Adrian." I said, and he stuck out his tongue. "Oh real mature."
I won, of course, and we all switched positions. Adrian was sitting out this time, and I was playing drums. I was winning, when suddenly Adrian came up behind me and kissed me. Kissing him back, I completely forgot about the game until Christian yelled, "YES! I WIN!"
"Adrian Ivashkov!" I yelled as soon as I broke apart from Adrian. "How dare you!" He was cracking up, as was everyone else. "Hmm…" I said into Adrian's ear. "No sex for Adrian tonight." I gave him my most seductive smile. "Your loss." My lips traveled along his cheek, gently brushing his skin.
"I think Rose deserves a rematch." Adrian said suddenly.
"Aw man! Don't do that to me." Christian complained.
"Yeah listen to him." I urged.
Christian and I took both guitars, and we decided to play 'Sex on Fire' again. I chose expert like last time, and he chose hard again.
I won, even when Adrian decided to side with the guys for a minute and started grinding on me as I played. I just went with it, and beat Christian's score by a lot, even though I was on expert and he was on hard.
Everyone left a little later, but I stayed after to help Adrian put things away. When we were done, he came up behind me, his arms around my waist. "I recall a deal we had…" He started, and turned me around to kiss him. He picked me up without breaking the kiss, and dropped me on the bed. He scrambled on top of me, unzipping my jacket and throwing it on the floor.
"Nope." I said, pulling back. "You helped Christian in that last game."
"But… Oh come on Rose!" He said. I kissed him quickly before I pulled back and sat up. "Oh no you don't." He pulled me down, kissing me with so much passion I didn't care what he had done during the game.
We kissed for several minutes, and then he started playing with the hem of my shirt, pulling it up over my head. He balanced on his knees over me, studying the shape of my body. "So damn sexy." I moaned as I sat up to bring my lips to his. "Beautiful." I kissed his lips softly, sweetly, the way our first kiss should have been instead of proving something to Lissa.
"Adrian." I moaned, pulling his shirt off and pushing him down onto the bed again.
Suddenly there was a bang as the door opened, and guess who was standing there? Guardian Dimitri Belikov.
His eyes shone with hurt, and I saw the jealousy overcome him as he strode across the room, grabbed my arm and my shirt, and practically threw me out the door. He followed a moment later. "Was that really necessary?" I asked as he tugged me along towards my dorm.
"Yes." He said. "He is just using you. I don't want to see you hurt."
"Adrian loves me." I said, matter-of-factly. I stopped walking, tearing my arm from his grasp. "And I love him."
I strode down the hall, and slammed the stair door behind me.
