R POV

I blushed. Why did he always make me blush? I mean to be harsh it was just a text. But the words in the text were something different. I mean he didn't care if I was wearing sweats or the most expensive dress in the world. He just wanted me there.

I was smiling to myself putting my phone down next to me. I was lying on my bed in my underwear just waiting for the time to get right so I could start getting ready.

This was date number four for us. You could say we were dating, or I didn't know when you crossed that line. If you agree on seeing each other or if you just turn into boyfriend girlfriend cause you just can. Gosh I haven't been with a man for fourteen years. Ok I've dated a lot but Dimitri was the first man not running out of my grasp. He was still here, with me. Going on yet another date. My smile grew.

I closed my eyes and a picture of him turned up in my mind. I had tons of pillows in my bed so I grabbed one – still having my eyes closed – pretending it was Dimitri. I realized he was bigger then just on lousy pillow and ended up with seven pillows I was hugging with my whole body. I was cuddling up against my pillows imagining Dimitri's smell and hoping one day he might be actually sleeping next to me.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

I sat up straight when Ve's voice carried through. She wore a frown on her face looking at me like: What the fuck?

I cleared my throat, "Hi Hun, eh I was just- um,"

"I don't really want to know so, skip it" she said looking skeptic. I smiled slightly.

"Did you drop off your brothers and sisters at Grandma's?"

She nodded, "Yeah, Ben couldn't stop talking about how you beat the crap out of those bullies and how 'cool' Dimitri was" She rolled her eyes.

"What is it that bug you so much about him? What did he do?" I asked wanting to understand. Cause I wasn't letting Dimitri go in a long shot. He'll have to pry me off of him and then throw me over a bridge before I'd take a break. Or worse stand me up on a date! That's one of the worst things a guy can do.

The humiliation of sitting there all alone hoping someone will come. The waiters wanting to move you but you say no cause 'your date is coming soon'. He isn't.

"I'll tell you if you tell me what this whole hype is about? I mean he's just a guy, what's with the big fuss?"

"But if he's just a guy why do you hate him?"

"You didn't answer my question so fat chance I'll answer yours!" She said crossing her arms over her chest.

I sighed looking down, "Well you know he's different from other guys I've been out with. He doesn't get disgusted that I already having four kids, he thinks I'm beautiful! He makes me feel good"

"I could make you 'feel good' to. I mean what do you need him for?"

I thought now she's just being mean. Don't I deserve to be happy? I was starting to grow tired of her questions about Dimitri. Why him, you don't need him. Give up. Hell no I'm not giving up!

"What do you need Marc?" I shot back.

"That's totally different" She scoffed. I raised my brows, "Oh really? How?"

"Well, he likes me and I like him. We match"

"I like Dimitri and he likes me we match" I said back. Mimicking her.

"Stop being such a bitch mom" Ve snapped looking offended. I snorted, "I'm not doing anything, you're the one nagging about my date 24/7. Why can't you just give him a chance?"

"Because he's my fucking gym teacher you sick freak!" She yelled. "I don't want my gym teacher dating my mom. I don't want him touching my mom. I don't want him in this house!" She yelled.

"Stop yelling Ve"

"Fuck no, I'll keep yelling until you understand what kind of desperate quest you're on trying to act all young and in love. But what will you do when he stands you up, or maybe he doesn't have time for you anymore? You'll lock yourself in this room and leave me to take care of everything"

"I don't leave you to do anything, I might be sad but I never forget you guys. Never!"

She was shooting me deadly glares cause she knew I was right. She knows I'd never let anything go beyond them in my life but that doesn't mean that Dimitri can't be in it.

"I mean could you stop being so selfish and just let me be happy?"

"I'm selfish?" She spat, "I'm not the thirty one year old mother who's trying to find Mr. Right by dating her daughters gym teacher!"

"Grow up Ve" I snapped. I could see how that cracked her. She stormed off out of my room closing the door hard. I sighed loudly burying my face in my hands. Why does she have to be so difficult?

Shower? Check. Underwear? Check. Red tunic I wore the first we met? Check. Black jeans? Check. Hair and make up? Check. Dimitri? Soon to be check!

I smiled at my reflection in the mirror. The time was quarter to seven and he said seven-ish at Roberto's so I thought I'd leave now and don't be late. I'm really excited for this date. I know he had a little huff after Ben's little situation but he only cared for me. He didn't want me in jail and thank god for that!

I yelled a good bye to Ve and grabbed purse and went. I skipped my jacket cause it was warm outside and no sign of rain. I was walking there, it was a twenty minute walk and in heels but I thought it would be nice to just walk so I might be a few minutes after but he said seven-ish. So he'll be waiting there for me.

Roberto's was a really beautiful pizza place that I love. Dimitri said he been there once of twice but this was his first date there. So I was excited. I was excited for all our dates but I don't know it felt like something more about this one.

My feet ached slightly when I got there about ten past seven. But I think it was worth it.

A Waiter with a Roberto's shirt walked up to me, "Good evening miss. Are you alone or with a party?"

"I'm meeting my date here" I smiled.

"Lovely, I'll set up a table for you" he led me over to the middle of the room. It felt kind of Embarrassing that Dimitri wasn't here. I was sitting here alone but it was probably just traffic or something.

V POV

Mom was on her room getting ready for yet another date with Dimitri. I shivered as I mentioned his name. I mean, what does she see in him? Ok so he's good-looking, buff and all but there cannot be a lot of brain under all that meat. His attitude isn't that good either. If I only could show her how not good he is! I thought of it. I pursed my lips and then a brilliant idea hit me. I smirked, why not test them. See how good the two of them really are together. This is wicked, plain wicked but my plan was already planned out. First: Grab mom's phone. Second: Text Dimitri. Third: Split. Them. Up!

So now was the first step. Get a hold of her phone. Lucky me I've already dropped off my siblings at grandma's so they won't be in the way. I walked up down the hall seeing her door was closed. Hmm.. How can I get her out of the room and then find her phone?

To my luck I heard her moving towards the door. I hurried into my own room so she wouldn't notice me. The door opened, she moved across the hall and to the bathroom. Door opens and closes. Lock. Score!

I need to act fast. I run soundlessly down the hall to her room sliding through the door. Phone, phone where's her phone? I look on her drawer, floor and bed… BINGO!

I grab the phone and check her texts. All of them are pretty much Dimitri, Dimitri and Dimitri. BOOOOORING!

I pick new text and add his number. Now what shall I write?

I changed my mind, I know this amazing place Augustine's. Meet me there instead. x / R

And I pressed SEND. I smirked. Step one and two done, now it's all up to them. I hear mom move in the bathroom. Shit! I put the phone down back on the bed but before I could escape I heard her phone beep. I couldn't resist to look if he already responded. And yes he had. He agreed and was looking forward to meet me – her. My smirk grew, damn I'm good!

D POV

I've been sitting at our table at Augustine's for twenty minutes and no Rose. I was starting to get slightly worried. I mean she couldn't be mad at me and ditch me could she? Cause I only went mad in school cause I didn't want anything to happen to her. She could've gotten arrested. And it's not likely that I want my kind of girlfriend in jail!

And when we texted earlier she didn't sound mad. I was a little surprised that she changed her mind though but hey I'm a flexible man. I called Roberto's and canceled my reservation and then called here to get one so we wouldn't stand there with nothing.

Maybe Rose just didn't know what to wear. She can get like that sometimes. I'll give her some more time before I call her. I leaned back and ordered a glass of wine. She'll be here.

R POV

Everything felt awkward now. People were looking at the sad woman sitting at a table for two alone. It's not that I was embarrassed at the beginning, Dimitri was coming, he promised. But after forty-five minutes alone and the waiter constantly asking about my 'party' the embarrassment grew. So was my aching heart. He'd call me if something came up right? I mean it was his idea to go out and just be us. He wanted this!

I want it too, a lot. But he was the one suggesting it.

I took a deep breath, I'm just freaked out he'll come. Maybe there's just a lot of traffic and he has no reception. Yeah that could be it. He'll be here. He'll be here…

An hour or so later…

Two fucking hours! Are you kidding me? No words, no ring, not even a bloody text! I was fuming and the waiter was just on his way to kick me out.

"I'm sorry Miss but we have another party waiting and we'll need your table. Your date hasn't come yet so I would have to ask you to leave"

I huffed and got up, "Fine" I walked across the restaurant and people staring at my back waiting for me to break into a cry or just freak the fucking out. I wasn't going to give them that much pleasure. Something I was going to do was tell Dimitri a thing or two about time and fucking humiliation. How embarrassing is it for a woman to sit alone on a restaurant for two hours and then he doesn't show up. Right way to prove to me how worthy he is.

I was walking towards the door and opened it. To my luck it was pouring outside. First Dimitri stood me up, then my feet ache and I have to neither umbrella nor jacket. Is the universe trying to get me out of the picture for some goddamn reason? Did I do something wrong? Yelling at my oldest daughter for not accepting the man that just stood me up?

I groaned and looked around for anything to shield me from the pouring cold. I saw an umbrella and I reached for it. A man grabbed my wrist and I looked up. The waiter.

"Excuse me but the umbrellas are only for paying customers"

My jaw dropped, "Are you serious?"

"Yes, I am" he said firmly. I straightened up, I was way shorter than him but at least I tried. "So your saying that you won't lend me your umbrella even though I've just been stood up by my date and have to jacket"

"I'm sorry about your date miss but there's nothing I can do"

"Bullshit!" I snapped. People started looking but I just stopped caring. Cause there wasn't much left to hurt me. "I will tell you one thing and that is that I use to love this restaurant but now it can go to hell. The service sucks and so do you!" I growled storming out into the cold.

I was standing on the curb outside, rain pouring down on me. I was soaked after about one point three seconds and I could feel my tunic cling to my body. I exhaled heavily letting it all go. My shoulders dropped, I've just been stood up and I didn't handle it well. I cursed a waiter and made a scene, smooth Rose really smooth.

My head dropped cause I didn't even have the power to hold it up anymore. Nothing was worth it. I were just a few minutes ago stood up by the man I so badly wanted to call my boyfriend. My bottom lip started to quiver but I bit down do make it stop.

I started walking. Strands of hair got stuck on my wet cheeks but that was only a small thing that annoyed me right now. My feet ached so Bad, and I was walking slowly to ease the pain on my feet. I groaned as I stepped wrong and almost fell over. The walk to me twenty minutes one way but when I was back on my street again it had taken me forty minutes. Double time. The world was against me today. I stopped when I noticed a black car outside my door. Are you serious? HE'S HERE?

I was fuming again. I wanted to kick the car, scream and just ruin it. I kicked off my shoes, I wasn't in the mood anymore. These shoes could go to hell, Dimitri could go to hell and that fucking waiter at the restaurant to go to hell to!

I stomped up on the driveway finding Dimitri sitting all dry and warm looking on my porch. He was looking pretty mad to but I was ten times worse.

"Nice of you to show up" I hissed still standing in the rain soaked. Barefoot.

He looked up and his eyes roamed my body. "Are you-"

"Yes I'm wet" I snapped, "You don't need to point out the obvious" I dropped my shoes on the ground the same with my purse. "Nice of you to show up on my doorstep but it would've been less embarrassing for me if you could've gotten to the restaurant! The actual place we were going to meet. Ring a bell?" I asked furiously.

Dimitri got up, "I've been at the restaurant for almost two hours!"

"No, you haven't cause I was there. You weren't"

"Yes I was." He said stubbornly. "And you don't think it was embarrassing for me either? Sitting there all alone?"

"Well glad we can share something equally tonight" I hissed crossing my arms over my chest.

He groaned, "I don't- where were" he couldn't finish a sentence. He exhaled, "I was a the restaurant this whole time, so you have no right to be mad at me"

"Hell yeah I do, I was there to you know and you. Weren't. There"

"For the last time Rose I was!" He yelled getting in my face. "I don't know which restaurant you decided to go to but I was were you texted me to be!"

I kicked my heels in anger, "You're just full off bullshit you know that Dimitri? You can't even admit that you stood me the fuck up! You left me on a restaurant so I could humiliate myself in front of the whole Roberto crew!" I shouted in his face. He opened his mouth to shout something but he stopped. His face fell into a frown and he was looking at me.

"What did you say?"

"I said that you humiliated me in front of a whole crew" I said through my teeth still cold and angry.

"Not that, which restaurant did you went to?" He asked still frowning.

"Roberto's like I told you" I said in a duh kind of way. Now he looked confused, "But you told me to meet you at the Augustine's" Dimitri said. Now it was my turn to frown, "Augustine's why would I-" I broke off as both of us heard faint laughter. I looked over to my left and saw that the kitchen window was slightly opened. I heard one voice, Ve.

"Yeah I know! You should see them fighting. I'll bet mom will kick his ass, he deserves it" she said smugly. She was speaking on the phone. Michelle if I wasn't mistaking. There was some silence and Dimitri was about to open his mouth but I held up a finger to his lips, tell him to keep it shut. I wanted to hear this.

"First I got her phone when she was in the bathroom, then I texted him to go to another place and he totally went for it!" She laughed. "I know, he's so stupid and now when mom understand what a douche he really it Coach Belikov will no longer be a problem"

I was fuming again, but for another reason. Before Dimitri could say anything I grabbed his arms and silently grabbed and dragged Dimitri to his car. I opened the back seat door silently and I got both of us in there with out too much noise. I closed the door loving how warm it was in his car. I ran hand through my hair to get all the hair out of my face I then turned to Dimitri. He looked confused and started talking, "What are you-"

But before he could get much farther my hands pulled his head to mine crashing his lips onto mine. I was wet and my hair was dripping on him but he could get angry for that one later. My cold hands caressed his already wet cheek while the other one got tangled up in his damp hair. The kiss was deep and passionate, our lips never leaving one another, lingering and sucking. My teeth graced his bottom lip and he growled. I smiled and kissed him again. This was my way to start my way apologizing for shouting at him when I should be shouting at me evil and corrupting daughter.

I place a lingering kiss on his lips and he met mine with equally as much power. "I'm sorry" I whispered against his lips. I kissed him again, "I really am" kiss, "Sorry" We kissed again. His arms tightened around me.

"Apologize like this" he kissed me, "And I'll never leave again"

I smiled tracing a finger on his cheek kissing his chin, "Then I'll apologize like this every night" Our lips brushed together.

"Mm, I can live with that" he murmured sucking on my bottom lip. To ruin the moment Ve came back into my mind. I sigh and buried my face in his neck groaning. He kissed my shoulder, "What's wrong?"

"My vicious evil so called daughter"

"Yeah we probably should talk about that"

I sighed and leaned back to see him. "I don't know what to do! All the other three practically loves you, adores you. But she's so goddamn stubborn and still dislikes you and tries to pull us apart" I looked up meeting his gaze, "How can I Like you so much while one of my kids works against me?"

He looked warily stroking my hair. He kept silent for a few minutes before he spoke, "This might sound crazy and kind of immature but, why not let her win?"

My eyes widened, "You're dumping me?"

"No, no, no, No, Never! I'm just saying let's play her game"

I frowned and he smiled, "Let me explain. What if we pretend fight giving her the thought that we're breaking up. You get inside and act a bit outrageous and she thinks the work is done"

"But what about us?"

"We'll keep dating only you tell Ve that you've met someone else from the salon or something"

"So that's it, we date secretly for the rest of our lives?" I asked, I looked down at my hand on his chest, "I don't want that" I whispered. He planted his warm hand on mine, "I don't want that either" I looked up meeting his gaze, "That's why while Ve thinks you're dating somebody else I'll start being nicer to her. Trying to win her over. You never mention me and she thinks you already forgotten me. And when she might kind of like me, we slowly drop the bomb"

I smiled, "So we're secretly dating?" He nodded. My smile grew, "I like it, it's exciting and sexy" I said leaning in. He chuckled, "You're sexy"

"Really?" I asked.

"Really" he said and kissed me. I smiled and kissed him back. After a few minutes kissing we broke apart getting ready to start fake fighting.

"So everything we say tonight won't mean anything, ok? It's just a role play"

"Let's try the other version of role play another time" I winked. He growled in my ear, "Don't say things like that or you might never leave this car"

I chuckled and he planted a kiss on my neck. "Let's go" I said jumping out of the car.

"Go" he said.

"Seriously Dimitri, just get the fuck out of my face!" I yelled. I could help but to smile at him. But I still sounded angry. He smiled to, "Just get your foot our of your ass Rose and let me explain" He yelled back.

"Why should I? You ditched me"

"No I didn't"

"Yes you did, so why don't you take your coach ass and stupid car and get away from my house and don't bother coming back"

"It'll be my pleasure" He yelled. "I can't believe I thought I liked you"

I opened the door so Ve could hear everything even more clearly. "Fuck you Dimitri!"

His door closed and he spun off. I cursed him under my breath as I heard Ve moving towards me.

"What was that all about?" She asked trying to look concerned. Yeah right…

"None of your concern" I snapped.

"Did you two have a fight?" she looked happy.

"You got what you wanted now didn't you Veronica" I never used her full name. She flinched slightly.

"No more dating for me. I'm never seeing another man in my whole life" I exaggerated.

"That's a little harsh" she said, "Maybe you'll find someone better than him?"

"Anything is better than him" I said hanging my coat and purse and marched past her. I walked to my room.

"So there's no more Dimitri Belikov?" She asked sounding hopeful.

"Dimitri Who?" I asked before I slammed my door. I heard her run to her room and call Michelle. This was almost too easy. I know I'm evil but I think she needs to learn a lesson!

I texted Dimitri when I knew the plan was set.

Score!

I know you all think Ve's pretty damn evil! And that's how I've made her, but there's always some good in everybody! Don't you think?

tell me your teories how you think things will play out. Will it turn out well or will hell break loose?
