A/N: Sorry it's taken me a couple of days to update. I'm actually just using my friend's account to do this so I am only doing it when I get a chance to. But I ho to update every few days if possible. So, who liked the last chapter? It was amazing. I know. Just so you know, in the next few chapters Rose and Dimitri will be switching points of views. After that they probably wont for a while.
Later that day.
Rose-
After our little scene I decided to take a walk for a while to think. What had I done? I just punched the love of my life in the face. Ex love of your life. I thought to myself sourly. And what about what I said to him? I told him that Adrian and I were engaged! How could I have been so stupid? I have to make sure I don't blurt out things to him anymore.
But then again, do I really feel like he should move on? I used to love him until he broke my heart. Those feelings can't just disappear when you meet someone new can they?
Eventually I ended up back at the house. I open the front door and trudge into the hallway, taking off my shoes and throwing my jacket on the floor. I take a minute to look around the house. It's a mess. There are toys everywhere and clothes strewn throughout. " God-dammit!" I say frustrated.
" Oh! Mommy said a bad word." Anya says running down the stairs. She runs up to me and gives me a huge hug.
" What did you two do to this house? It's a train wreck!"
" I made Adrian play dress up and beauty salon and a whole bunch of other things!"
" Oh you did, did you? Where's Adrian?"
" Here I am." Adrian says and comes out from the bathroom. His face is smeared with gobs of blue eye shadow and lipstick.
" Hi honey. Anya tells me you went to the beauty salon today. Did you get your nails done too?" I ask him with a smirk.
" Ha. Very funny. How do you get this stuff off?"
" I'll come help you in a second but we need to talk first. All of us."
" Me too?" Anya asked.
"You the nosiest child I've ever met. She always wants to know what the grown ups are talking about." I chastise.
" So do I get to?"
" Yes Anya."
I lead them both into the living room and set them down on a couch. " Now listen, tonight we have something pretty important. Auntie Lisa has invited us to a party. And as much as I wish we didn't have to go, we do."
" The Mori ball tonight?" Adrian asks.
" That's the one."
" Anya's coming along?" He questioned.
" Unfortunately I have no where else to let her stay. Everyone else is going."
" I get to go to a party?" She squeals.
" Yep. Now, do you think you can go upstairs and pick out a dress?" I ask her.
" What's the point? You will just change it when you see it."
" Well then, how about you go play for a little bit."
" Give it a rest Mom. I know you just want to get rid of me." She says and runs off.
" She's impossible."
I scoot in beside him on the couch and lean my head on his shoulder. " So, what is going on?" He asks.
" Dimitri's back."
" And he's coming to the ball?"
" Yep."
" And you're worried."
" Of course I am!" I shoot up off the couch and start pacing around the room. " Anya has to come with us! What if he figures it out?"
" He won't, Rose. Everything will be fine."
" But what if he realized that Anya's his daughter?"
" It won't happen."
" Your right. I'm just overreacting."
" Does Dimitri know about us?" After Adrian said this he stiffened.
" I told him right after I punched him."
" You punched Dimitri?"
" Yes…"
" Oh god. Rose, I need to ask you a question."
" Shoot."
" Are you sure you're not worried because you still love Dimitri a little?"
" Adrian, let's not do this right now. The situation is hard enough without dragging out old baggage."
" I won't be mad Rose. I know that feelings don't just evaporate. You can tell me anything, Little Damphir."
" No! Of course I don't… maybe…yes. I do still love him a bit." He stands up and walks over to me and hugs me.
" Everything will be alright."
" You shouldn't have to deal with this. It's not your problem. You shouldn't have to pretend that you have a daughter and you shouldn't have a fiancé who loves someone else even a little bit. Your to good for any of this."
" Don't ever say that again. I love you and Anya with all my heart and that's all there is to it. Now, stop talking about this stupid stuff and figure out what you're going to wear to the ball tonight.
