Chapter four

I woke up the next morning to Christian tickling me. I moaned and rolled over away from him. He started laughing at me so I leaned over and hit him in the gut which made him stop laughing. I looked at his alarm clock and realized it was 5:30 so I rolled over and opened my eyes to see his ice blue ones looking back at me. I couldn't help but smile. I feel comfortable with Christian I know I should try to give him a shot I think with everyone showing up its made me realize that I should move on they all have.

"Well good morning Sparky. I hate to do it but I have to get ready I have practice with Luka this morning." Before I could get up he had me pinned down and was smiling at me a toothy smile that showed his fangs. I hated seeing fangs it reminded me of when I got caught by strigoi and they drank from me. Chris didn't know this though so I decided to change his expression. With a quick move I had him pinned down below me and now I was smiling. "Chris I have got to go I told him not to be late. How about after practice you come to the gym and we will grab breakfast together. I really want to talk to you about something too." I leaned down and kissed him on the cheek and then I got up and went over to get my spare work out clothes I leave in his room. As I was headed for the bathroom to change he spoke up.

"I will be at the gym at 7 to get you. Do you need me to bring you anything or are you going to go back to your room and get ready?" I just laughed at him.

"I got clothes I will shower and change in the gym and be ready for breakfast." With that said I ran into the bathroom and changed into a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt. I quickly brushed through my hair and pulled it up into a high ponytail. I walked out of the room to find Chris standing in his boxers. Oh boy did he look good. He had become muscular for a moroi and he had even gotten a little tan from being in the sun some. It looked good on him. He was smiling at me checking him out. I never though I would be checking Christian Ozera out of all people. I looked away and grabbed my shoes and then took off out the door because I knew I would get side tracked if I didn't.

I got to the gym the same time Luka did. I had him do some stretches and then sent him to the track to run. While he was running I was thinking of what to tach him or work on today. Over the past three years I had been working with him he was my prize student. Luka Moore he is 18 and he can take down some of the best. He has even taken me down a couple times. He has already killed 5 strigoi and he did that in a weekend while we were in Washington D.C. He is the best novice in the school and all the Royals want him for their kids. Though I have trained him for Abe, my father has offered him a job working for him and he has already accepted. He says he is going to follow after me but I don't think anyone is as reckless as me. I have trained him to keep himself and his charge alive in all conditions. The worst part about it is he has a thing for me. Though I understand I did it with Belikov and now I had it happen but this time feelings are not returned. I was so lost in my thought I hadn't even realized I had company until they spoke.

"So Guardian Hathaway do you sit in the gym often?" It was a female Moroi she looked familiar but I couldn't figure out from where.

"I have a student running. How may I help you ma'am?" She looked at me and then she realized I didn't know who she was so she looked pissed. Oh great another one of those people. I mean I am one of those people but I have so much talk about me that everyone knows me or at least about me. This woman I had no idea who it was.

"Well I was looking for Guardian Belikov he said he was going to the gym but maybe I am mistaken. I am sure he wouldn't be here with someone like you anyways." I looked at her confused and then it hit me she was Belikov's girlfriend.

"Well I am sorry I haven't seen him. If he was here we would probably be over there on the mat trading hits like old times. I am sure I would have no problems takin on Belikov now that he is getting old." I started laughing at the horrified look on her face. It was always fun to torment people expecially peoples girlfriends.

"Well I know he could take you he is the best you know. I have seen him in action and he can take down plenty of strigoi I'm sure he would have no problem with a brat like you." I couldn't help the laugh that escaped my lips. I was not in hysterics. She thought Dimitri was good. I mean I haven't seen him fight in years but I know I can take him down. I could do that years ago. "You need to stop laughing you little blood whore. You might think you can get in good with my man and with Princess Dragomir but I know about you and what you do I have heard how you sleep around and you play as a cheap blood whore." Well a few years ago I would of beat this bitch to a pulp but now I just think she is pathetic.

"Well Ms. I hate to inform you that I use to be Lissa's best friend and Adrian was my best friend. Eddie is like my brother and Dimitri is my ex. So I have no problems with them. To be honest the only reason Dimitri has head guardian over Lissa is because I made him promise to stay with her and take my place because I was suppost to be her Guardian. Now as for me being a blood whore you are wrongly mistaken. I have only had blood taken from me once and it was forcefully by a strigoi so I could save a Moroi like yourself. Now if you are done I have work I need to do." I turned to look at Dimitri and Luka standing in the door. "Belikov you need to watch your girl here I don't want her causing trouble at my school or I will have words with the Queen of her behavior and something will be done. That is my warning and It was a very nice one. Now Luka weight room we need to get you working practice is almost over."

Luka headed towards the weight room and I followed leaving a shocked Dimitri and a pissed off Isabelle whatever. Once I had Luka done with his weight I told him we would work on sparing later that I wanted breakfast. I headed into the locker rooms and got a nice warm shower and then got dressed for my work day. I was finishing putting on make-up when I heard Christian yelling for me in the gym.

I walked out of the locker room to meet Chris. When I got in the gym I not only seen Chris but Lissa and they were standing staring at each other shocked. I was being quiet as I stood there waiting to see who spoke first and it just had to be…

Cliffhanger!
