I Can't Lie

Part 2

"Roza, wait," he said.

He called me that name again. He only calls me that name when we were alone. I once asked him why he calls me that, all that he answers me was that it was my Russian nickname. Dimitri lived in Russia with his grandmother until he was fourteen, he moved here in US to be with his mother and brother. Because of that, he still had a bit of Russian accent, which I found very sexy.

"What? Are going to tell me not to see you again? Please just let me go home, to save myself from humi—"

"No," he said firmly.

He stood up, towering me. He placed his hands on my cheeks, trying to make me look at him. I still looked away, because I didn't know what staring at him might do to me. I was afraid that I would love him even more.

"Roza, please don't be shy about it. I…I feel the same way too," he confessed.

Oh wait, rewind, just a sec. Did he just say that he also loves me? Am I hallucinating already? I wanted to happy dance, but he might be joking, so I stopped myself and it took me a lot of effort to do that.

"What?" I asked.

"I love you too," he said sincerely.

"Dimitri, this isn't funny. Don't make fun of my feelings; this isn't the right time to make jokes. I'm going home," I told him seriously.

I was going to make him remove his hands from my cheeks, but when my hands came in contact with his, I was dead. I didn't want to remove my hands anymore. I loved how his hands felt against mine.

"I am not joking, I was about to tell you too, but I thought that it would creep you out that's why I just kept it to myself."

"Oh my gosh, I'm dreaming, I need to wake up," I said to myself.

"You're not," Dimitri disagreed.

"No, I am. This cannot be happening in real life. This is crazy." I laughed. This time, I was really convinced that I was just dreaming.

Just as I said those words, Dimitri leaned down to me and then he let our lips meet.

"Now, tell me, is this just a dream?" he asked through my lips. I would feel my heart skip a beat whenever he would say a word and then his lips would touch mine again.

In the spur of the moment, Christian voice suddenly came. "We brought pizza!"

In lightning speed, Dimitri and I were back on the couch. My cheeks really felt hot. I am flushed. I needed to clear my face, or else they would notice that something happened. I needed to act, that was what I was good at. Unfortunately, even if I wanted to, my heart and mind wouldn't let me to.

"Rose, how's the review? Was it hard? Are you giving Dimitri a hard time? Dimitri, if you like, I'll just be the one to review Rose if you want," Lissa blabbed.

"Rose's cool, but I think she's not feeling well, it might be better if you'll send her home," Dimitri said thoughtfully.

Oh thank him. I could save myself from explaining on why I looked like this.

"Oh Rose, do you want me to drive you?" Lissa asked.

"No, Liss, I'll just—"

"I'll be the one," Dimitri interjected.

Oh no. He just found a way to continue our conversation earlier. Being alone with him right now, I think was not a very good idea. I was not yet done feeling the awkwardness of what happened earlier.

To avoid suspicions, I just nodded.

"Thanks, Dimitri," Lissa said appreciatively.

"Uh, yeah, thanks," I said awkwardly.

…

The whole ride back home was quiet. Or so I thought, because Dimitri just turned into a different direction.

"Where are we going?" I asked, a little bit irritated.

"We're going to have a date," he answered coolly.

"What the hell? You didn't even ask me if I would like to come," I complained. He did nothing, but chuckled at me. Whatever the hell, he was planning, it was not pleasant. "This is insane," I muttered.

"It's not. I just want to be with the woman that I love," he reasoned.

I blushed. "It's that really true?" I asked, feeling really shy.

"Yes. Sorry if I had to keep it for so long. I thought it was just wrong, because I was an adult and you were just a child. I was afraid of what other people would think about me, but not anymore. Now that I know that you also love me." He said the last part proudly.

"The reason why I pushed your student during Lissa's birthday was because I got jealous," I confessed.

"I have something to confess too. I was scaring your suitors, that's why they don't bother you anymore," he said guiltily.

Oh my God! He was the one sending threats to the guys who were trying to court me. I thought they were just kidding. But it was real. He was the reason why I hadn't have boyfriend again. That was a pretty mean, but in a strange way, I liked it.

"Dimitri, that was so mean! You scared the hell out of them. Do you want me to be single forever?" I said playfully.

"No, I don't want you to be single forever, because I'm planning on making you my girl, or even my wife," he said in the same tone as I am.

My insides were celebrating. Even though it was just a joke, it was something that I never thought he would say to me.

I have a surprise :)) There will be a third part, it's like an epilogue :)
