So here's chapter . I enjoyed writing this chapter. Someone will make an appearance that will uncover a shocking piece of information. So read until the end and don't ferget to review!

I woke up in Dimitri's arms. The sun was shining outside so I thought it would probably be around lunch time.

Last night, wait, scratch that—this morning, we probably went to sleep around three. It was a long night.

I tried to stretch, but was immediately crushed by Dimitri's strong arms.

His grip on me tightened and I felt like I couldn't breathe.

"Di—Di—Dimitri!", I gasped.

His arms let loose but still stayed around me. "What happened? Are you okay?", he asked groggily.

I turned around in his arms so I faced him. "Nothing. It's just that you were crushing me a minute ago."

He smiled, sat up, and yawned pulling me up with him. "Come on, l bet your hungry."

My stomach growled. Could he read my mind or something?

I jumped out of bed and head towards the door when Dimitri stopped me. "Rose, where do you think you're going?"

I gave him an obvious look. "Downstairs to eat."

He shook his head. "Maybe you should get dressed first."

I looked down to see I wasn't dressed at all. "Oh."

I headed towards the closet and picked out a green shirt with buttons and black skinny jeans.

As soon, as we were done, we headed down the stairs to discover everyone sitting down at the table for lunch, along with an additional person.

Dimitri's eyes widened at the sight of his grandmother, Yeva.

He dashed forward and gave her a loving hug. "Yeva! You're here! I was wondering where you were!"

For the first time ever, Yeva smiled. "I was staying with Oksana and Mark; neighbors from an acre or two away. They needed my help for something and when news spread around that you were here, I came back."

Dimitri pulled away from the hug and kissed both her cheeks. "I'm glad your back."

We greeted everyone good afternoon and was soon absorbed in all the conversation.

I noticed that Paul wasn't here and I asked Karolina about that. She answered with a funny smile. "He ate early. He told me he couldn't see you until your date tonight. Probably getting ready."

I laughed. Tonight was going to be fun.

As soon as we finished eating, Yeva pulled me aside to talk. "Rose, I'm very happy to see you back with my grandson."

I smiled.

She continued in a more serious tone. "But I had a dream last night, and I must warn you."

My smile faded. "What is it?"

"You will discover three surprises here, while in Russia. One bad, one good, and the other will depend on you."

I nodded. Three surprises.

"I cannot tell you what I have seen, or else it may change the future and will probably end up worse."

I closed my eyes for a brief second and gulped.

She then left me to wonder about what I was going to "discover" in Russia.

I headed upstairs and dug through my closet, finding something for my "date" with Paul. My mind kept on wondering to what Yeva had said. Three things.

I finally settled with a deep blue skirt with a high hem and a white tank top tucked inside. I completed the outfit with a bronze necklace with a charm shaped like an anchor.

I put some eye-liner on as Dimitri came from behind me, encircling me in his arms. "I really do think I might loose you to Paul tonight.", he whispered, kissing my neck.

I giggled. "Yeah, because I'd rather choose seven year olds instead of a sexy Russian, badass guardian. I'm not as stupid as you think, comrade."

I felt him smile into my neck and pulled away. "Have fun downstairs. You'll be surprised on how Paul put your little "date" together."

I rolled my eyes and headed downstairs. Not that surprised, Dimitri was right. There was a white table cloth covering the coffee table and the couch was arranged so they were sitting opposite each other.

Plastic plates were set along with silverware and a single rose was cupped in a sleek glass vase.

I sat down on one of the couches as Paul came in.

He really knew how to clean up. He wore a brown shirt and beige pants that looked a little to long for him. "Hi Rose", he said as he sat down across from me.

I gave him a warm smile. "Hi Paul. You look really good."

He tilted his chin up like he was proud. "Thank you. You do too."

Just then, Tasha came in carrying two bowls of macaroni 'n cheese. She smirked when she saw us two.

"Hi Rose, Paul. Here's your dinner. Made especially from Paul himself. With a little help from his mother."

I thanked her as she set the bowls in front of me and Paul.

"Now if you two don't need anything, I have to go pack up."

I stopped right in the middle of picking up my fork. "Why?"

I thought the plan was off?

She smiled. "I know it's only been like three days, but—it's complicated."

I nodded slowly. For once in my life, I was sad she was leaving. We had become actual friends in less then twenty for hours and I liked it.

I stood up and gave her a hug. "I'm going to miss you."

She hugged me back. "I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. Don't worry I'll visit you guys at Court."

I watched her as she ascended up the stairs.

I sat back down and continued my date with Paul. We had little conversation. I asked him about what he liked and his friends and it seemed like an hour before we finished.

I stood up, without a word, and placed a kiss on Paul's cheek.

He blushed furiously.

"Thank you for the date Paul. It was wonderful."

He nodded quickly and I went up the stairs to mine and Dimitri's room.

Opening the door quietly, I figured he was already asleep. But he wasn't there.

All of a sudden, I heard shuffling in the room beside us. A.k.a., Tasha's room.

Mindlessly, I opened her door slightly and peaked inside.

What I saw was the most horrid thing.

I suddenly recalled what Yeva had said. "You will discover three surprises here, while in Russia. One bad, one good, and the other will depend on you."

Well, here was the first surprise. And it was the bad one.

What I saw broke my heart.

Dimitri was cupping Tasha's face in his hands, their foreheads pressing together.

"Yes, I'll become your guardian. Rose means nothing to me. I love you always."

A single tear dripped down my cheek.

Then, he lowered his head a bit and pressed his lips to hers.

He didn't know how much of me he had destroyed.
