Chapter 16
Just A Little More Time

APOV

The sun was out and when I looked to the clock next to me it said ten in the morning.

I can't believe I slept all night. Though I was tired, I thought a nap would do so then I'd be there for Rose when she woke up.

Well I bet she's awake now and Dimitri's with her.

I sighed and threw my arm over my eyes. Of course he has to be the hero.

Well either way, I'm still here for Rose. So I'm just gonna go shower and find her.

I threw the covers to the side and got up from the bed, went to pick up my duffle bag from where I left it. I brought it back to my bed and when I looked to see if Dimitri did indeed leave to find Rose, I was shocked and a little happy about what I saw.

Rose was sleeping on Dimitri's bed. Her hand tucked under her head, a peaceful look upon her beautiful face. Such radiant beauty. I went to stand in front of her and gently soothed her hair. She stirred a little and mumbled. How long has she been here? When did she get here? And why was she sleeping in Dimitri's bed?

"My Dimitri" she whispered softly.

I sighed and moved away from her. My heart aching at her words. So she dreams about Dimitri? I nodded and ran my hand through her hair. Of course she'd dream about him. He's the good guy, the guy every girl wants. Dimitri's the one who makes her dreams peaceful. I could never do that for Rose.

I was & guess I still am the player every girl wants to sleep with.

I sighed and took my duffel bag into the bathroom with me. I turned on the shower to hot and stripped all my clothes and stepped in.

Being in love for the first time hurts. It hurts a lot more than I thought it would. Still all the while, I find some comfort in loving her. She makes every pain I've ever felt go away. Happiness is the only thing she gives me.

But the way she said Dimitri's name in her sleep. She sounded so full of relief. He's the one who makes her happy right? She could've fallen in love with him, and I would've never seen it.

I'm that blinded by her. By the beauty she emanates. The spell she's put on me by complete accident.

I sighed and turned the water off, stepping out of the shower and getting dressed after I dried off.

After I buttoned my jeans I went back out to the bedroom to get my shoes.

Rose was still asleep. But she was on my bed now?

When did she wake up? And how come she just didn't knock on the bathroom to tell me she had woken up?

I looked at the clock again. It was almost eleven and I think she should wake up. I know she wants to go see her mother now.

I kissed her hair and soothed it. "Rose. Come on beautiful, time to wake up"

She moaned and turned the other way. "Five more minutes" she whimpered.

I laughed. "Rose. Come on, you have to get up. You need to eat before we go see your mom"

She didn't turn around and I could've sworn she heard me. But I realized then that she was awake because of the soft sniffling I heard.

"So it really wasn't a dream then?" she asked. Her voice all husky.

"No, it really wasn't. I'm sorry Rose"

She nodded and sat up on the bed wiping away the small tears that appeared.

I lifted her legs and sat down on the bed, putting her legs on my lap.

"How long have you been sleeping here? I thought you were in your room?"

She nodded and moved her hair out of her face. "Yeah, I was. But when I had an argument with Abe, I decided to try and find you guys. Amanda, my nanny, told me Andrew installed you guys here. I thought you guys were awake but when I knocked and no one answered I let myself in and found you guys sleeping. So instead of being all alone up in my room, I crashed on the sofa right there. I don't know how I ended up on Dimitri's bed though. So when I woke up I just shifted to your bed instead"

I smiled. "It's all the same Rose"

She shook her head like a stubborn child. "You don't get it" she said with a small pout. She looked incredibly beautiful.

"So then explain it"

"I don't want to"

I laughed and she smiled. "Okay, whatever the lady wants"

"Good" she said.

I just shook my head. "Come on now, I'm hungry and I know you are too"

She groaned and got up from the bed standing in front of me. I looked up at her and even though she just woke up and probably thought she needed retouching. I still thought she was a picture of perfection.

She put her hand softly through my hair and I closed my eyes sighing. Her touch felt so good, it made me feel sord of alive in a lot of different ways.

I was lost in everything around me, but when her lips touched my forehead my heart sprinted.

"Thank you for being here" she whispered. Her hot breath on my skin, it made me shiver.

I put my hands on her hips and pulled her to me. "You know I'd do anything for you. No need to thank me"

She took her hand from my hair and put her hands around my neck, my ear right on her heart, hearing it beat. "It's why I'm thanking you" she said softly "because even though you don't have to be, you're here"

"It's like I just said. I would do anything for you"

"And I still don't know why" she whispered.

"Because I love you" I thought.

"Come on" I said as I stood up and grabbed her hand, leading her out of the room. "I'm hungry and I'm pretty sure Dimitri's already eaten all the good food"

She chuckled and I smiled. Seriously though, my brother is huge in muscle, I wonder how much food he can store. Because at home…Mom always has to make extra.

I decided to let Rose lead me, because after all this is her house. So when we arrived to the kitchen I was surprised to not find him there.

"Amanda?"

The woman in the kitchen turned around smiling lightly at Rose.

"Yes dear"

"Uh, did a big muscled looking guy come around here to eat any breakfast?"

She thought for a second before she answered & shook her head. "No, I haven't seen anyone like that around here this morning"

"Okay. Have you seen Andrew?"

"He should be outside getting the mail"

"Thank Amanda"

Rose took my hand and led me to the front door and before she opened it there was Andrew already coming in.

"Good Morning Ms. Rose"

She sighed and shook her head smiling lightly. "I don't know how long its been since you've called me Ms. but please don't"

He smiled and nodded. "What can I do for you today Rose?"

"I was wondering if you've seen Adrian's brother? We didn't find him in the kitchen, so I was wondering if you've seen him anywhere"

"Oh, yes the young man who came in with you last night?"

Rose nodded her head.

"The young man stepped out to make a small run. He told me if you awoke to tell you"

"A small run?" asked Rose. "did he need to buy something?"

Andrew shook his head. "No. he went out for a morning run. It seems the gentleman does it every morning"

Rose blushed and bit her bottom lip. "Oh." she said. "Okay. Well when he comes back direct him to my room Andrew"

He nodded his head. "Yes Rose"

Then he walked back I guess to the kitchen. Rose pulled my hand and lead me up the stairs, I guess to her room.

When I walked in, I didn't imagine it to be so punk rock-ish. Her walls are dark purple, she has posters of rocks bands hanging around and even though there was a huge chandelier in the middle of the room, it wasn't even used because when she hit the light switch, studio lights lit up the room. You could tell this was her own personal heaven.

The room back at school looked nothing like this. It looked classy with a little punk & I thought it did match some of her.

But this.

This place is her own personal heaven. It had all of her and I bet she enjoyed being here more often when she was at home.

"You could go ahead and have a seat on my bed ya know" she smiled at me from her position on the bed. "You don't have to stand there looking like you're out of place"

I chuckled and sat next to her.

"I'm just surprised is all"

She looked up at me. Confused. "Surprised at what?"

I smiled and looked around her room again, shaking my head. "It's just that your room is different here than it is at school"

She softly laughed and nodded her head. "Yeah, I know"

"How come?"

"It's because I guess I'm two different people"

"Two different people?"

She nodded. "Yeah. When I'm at home I'm this rebel, laid back chick who doesn't love rules & loves as much privacy as she can get"

"But you're already like that"

She shook her head. "Not really. When I'm at school, I have to be different than what I am when I'm at home. The rebellion, and the non respect I have for authority is all blown away." she sighed and put her head on my shoulder, taking my hand and intertwining our fingers together. "My mother doesn't like to be called and told I'm misbehaving. She likes to make as less trips as possible. She considers it scandal to her and to the clients that she represents. Basically I have to not embarrass her. I sometimes slip up. Sometimes the rebellious side comes out and I lash out and I get in trouble. My mom has to show up and I'm put through shame because of the embarrassment she says I've caused her"

"Wow" I said.

She shook her head and I kissed her hair. She still smelled like nuts. Then I heard her crying and I pulled her on my lap and I let her cry on my shoulder.

"Shh" I ran my hand through her hair and she placed her hand on my shoulder, squeezing it tightly. This is the only way I knew how to make her feel better. Just by holding her.

But when she softly started kissing my neck, I tensed up.

"Rose" I said, my voice shaky.

She kept kissing me softly, then she moved up and I felt like my body was on fire. This is what her simple kisses do to me.

I had my rationality scream at me, telling me that I know why she was kissing me. Telling me that I should stop this, because she might not regret it and neither would I, but that right now…it wouldn't be healthy for her.

But then she turned around in my lap, her body facing mine, her breasts pressed on my chest. My hands automatically just went to her hips and I pulled her to me. Her lips on mine so soft, so warm moving slowly against mine. Then it starts increasing and the burning feeling I'm getting just to take her and have her.

She grinded her hips against me, grabbing my hair and pulling me onto her with even more force. I sighed a soft moan and rubbed circles on her hips, her skin so soft, so warm. She was gonna be the death of me.

But I just couldn't hold myself back.

So I didn't.

I kissed her and then went lower, her neck, her collarbone. The moan that she let out drove me to the edge and I flipped her on her back. She looked at me. Longing in her eyes.

Sadness.

Lust.

"meu înger" I whispered to her, moving a strand of hair from her face. My finger tracing down her cheek around her chin, softly and slowly down her neck.

She was looking up at me, confusion just a little bit shown on her face.

I know she didn't know what I said. It was in Romanian & I know Rose doesn't know any other language besides English.

But as much as I wanted to tell her what it meant, I couldn't really look away from her eyes and concentrate on anything else. She was holding me. Looking inside me and I felt vulnerable. All of this was new to me.

Love.

She ran her hand through my hair, traced it down to my cheek and placing her index finger right on my lip.

I kissed it softly and for a moment her eyes closed, a small moan from her lips.

"Adrian?" she whispered.

"meu înger?" I whispered right back.

"Kiss me again"

And I did. Because I can never ever deny her anything.

She began to unbutton my shirt one by one. It was driving me insane with lust. But I can be patient. I can wait all my life for her if that's what she wished me to do.

And when she reached the last button she placed both her warm hands on my chest and ran her hands up and down slowly.

That's when I went back down to the hem of her shirt and slowly pushed it up. I traced small circles every time I discovered another part on her skin and when I reached her breast she arched her back and let out a soft moan.

Watching her like this, watching her moan, watching how her body reacted to my touch…made my body react as well.

So I did it again I softly squeezed her breast and again when I heard her moan it gave more reaction to my lower region.

So I kept at it. I kept squeezing her breast and when I saw her hard nipple I couldn't resist.

I softly twisted it and her moan just became louder. And my junior became harder.

"Adrian" she said my name, softly panting.

"Yes my love?"

"Take me. Take me and make this pain go away. You're the only one who can"

That's the bucket of ice cold water hitting me in the face the minute she said those words.

"I'm sorry Rose. But I can't"

Okay so how was that?
I promise not to leave you guys hanging for so long this time.
the spring semester in college is starting soon, but I will try &
keep you guys happy with an UD from time to time.
So did you guys think that would be Adrian's answer to Rose's plea?
