Once again I want to thank all of you for your amazing response, you are great :)
I know I said that this chapter was going to be in Dimitri's POW, but I just wanted to start it off from Rose's POW.

Chapter three: Dreaming Out Loud

"So Comrade, care to share what you're doing in Russia?"

He gave me a small smile before he said, "I'm also moving" I looked at him confused

"You're moving here?" I said, even though we were in the air and not actually in Russia like I implied. "I mean, to Russia?" I continued when I saw his expression. He just nodded and smiled.

"Why do you look so confused?" he said and lifted an eyebrow, damn he was sexy.

"Its just, your accent. Its Russian, right?" I asked and bit down on my lip feeling insecure under his gaze. He gave me a small laugh before answering my question

"Yes" then he paused and his expression turned into a thinking one, like he was thinking over the pros and cons from telling me the rest off his story.

"I finished high school in Russia before going to America to start college. I felt like I needed to get away from Russia, I wanted something new; I wanted an adventure. So I moved with my best friend Ivan." That made me think of Lissa, she was probably bawling her eyes out at this moment, I sighed and turned to Dimitri when he continued his story.

"We started college and I just finished my sophomore year. I'm transferring and moving back now because of some…family issues" he said the last two words with hate dripping from his voice and his eyes turned black. I reached out and put my hand on his upper arm and looked at him with concern

"Are you okay?" he turned and looked straight into my eyes.

DPOV

How could this girl, this stranger make me feel this way? How could she pull out more words and smiles from me than my own family could? I had no idea, but when I looked into her beautiful, warm brown eyes that were filled with concern for me I got a feeling that I just wanted to pour my heart and soul out to hear, I wanted her to know all my secrets. Rose was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, the way her dark brown hair flowed down to her small waist, the way her rich lips moved when she talked, the way her eyes looked at me. And the way my name rolled off her tongue like a silent prayer, Dimitri. I could hear her voice inside my mind.

Speaking of her voice, here it came and dragged me out of my thoughts.

"Dimitri" the hand on my arm moved up to my shoulder before she continued "Dimitri, are you okay? You looked crushed," she said as I turned to her

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks. I just got lost in bad memories" I answered and thought about the family issues my grandmother had called about one month before graduation. Before I could get stuck in that thought Rose dropped her hand from my shoulder and gave me a small smile.

"So… Your friend, Ivan. Did he stay?"

"Yes, he did. He wanted to come but I talked him into staying. I didn't think it was fair for him to go back because of my problems." I said with a small laugh thinking about how stubborn Ivan had been.

"That reminds me of Lissa, she tried to talk her parents into letting her move with me"

"She's your best friend?"

"Yeah, she's like my sister. We have known each other since we were two" se replied with a big smile, but I could see and hear the trace of sadness in her eyes and voice.

"You miss her?"

"Like crazy." Was all she said, but she didn't have to say more. I could read her like an open book. I offered her a small smile and she returned it as she turned her head to look out the small window.

"So, since you've been on this flight before. Maybe you could tell me how long it takes?" (AN: I really have no idea since I've never been in the US or Russia, but on the Internet it says 10-15 hours so I'm going to go with that!)

"Twelve hours" Rose's head turned away from the window and her eyes looked like they were about to plop out her head any minute

"Are you kidding me? Please tell me that you're kidding me!" she almost screamed out, which earned us a couple of glares and people told us to "hush!"

"I'm not kidding, sorry", I told her while trying to hold in my laugh

"Well, then. I guess you-" she said and poked my chest with her index finger "-just have to entertain me then" she finished with a flirtatious smile that made me gulp down my saliva hard, but I could play that game too. I slowly licked my lips and bent forward and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear as I whispered only a heartbeat away from her ear "well, what did you have in mind". When I pulled back I saw her mouth was slightly parted and I just wanted to grab her and kiss her and- no! Stop thinking like that; you've known the girl for less than an hour, it's inappropriate.

"You know, Dimitri. Its so weird, but… god! I've known you for like an hour or something?" she asked and I just nodded in respond, wondering where this was going.

"Somehow I feel like I already know you, and that you know me. I sound like a weirdo right?"

"No, I actually agree with you. But, yeah it's a little weird." I looked into her eyes and we started laughing at the same time. This was just all so overwhelming and, yeah, weird.

"Why don't we just talk? And really get to know each other?" I offered with a smile

"I would like that"

- - Three hours later - -

"Oh my god! Please tell me that it really happened!" Rose laughed and wiped a few tears away from her eyes. For the past three hours we had just talked and shared stories while getting to know each other. I had just finished telling a story from college that involved me, Ivan, our math's teacher and four bottles containing paint. Yeah… lets not get into details about that one.

"I promise its true" I replied laughing just as much as she did.

"You're such a badass, baby" she said and winked at me.

During this short period of time that I've known Rose I've learned that she is a really sweet girl, that she cares so incredibly much about her family and her best friend Lissa. But I also learned that she was a big flirt, but then to my surprise and delight she proved that she didn't let anybody hit on her and get away unharmed.

- - Flashback - -

"Yeah, and then Lissa said that if I –" Rose was rudely interrupted by a guy that looked about nineteen. He had dirty blond hair and green eyes that were plastered on Rose's body, more precisely, her breasts. He leaned over me and stuck his hand out to Rose who just watched it with disgust shining in her eyes.

"Hi kitten, I'm Chuck", he sounded like a sleaze ball and Rose must have thought it to because she made gagging noises.

"Look ass, leave now"

"Come on kitten, don't you wanna play? I can see that you're a bad girl. Should I punish you?" Rose gasped and I resisted the urge to slap the guy.

"You see that guy over there?" she said and pointed to her father who was now staring right at us, or rather sleaze ball Chuck here.

"That's my dad. Let me tell you a story about him. Once there was this guy, he reminds me about you actually. He was a disgusting flirt like you. Anyway, when my dad found out he told me he would 'take care of it' I didn't see the guy for two weeks but when I did, I saw that he was missing two fingers, the two fingers that he used to touch my breasts." Chuck paled and looked terrified but he still stayed.

"But you want to know what I did to him? I took his-"

"You know what kitten? You're not scaring me. Your feisty, I like that in a girl"

I could tell that he was starting to get to Rose and she looked pissed off. If threats didn't make it then maybe this did. I pushed him away from Rose and put my arm around her "look douche, she's my girlfriend so why don't you back the hell off?" Rose snuggled closer to me and gave Chuck a bitch-stare as she called it. Chuck let his eyes drift to me and looked like he shit his pants when he saw my pissed off expression. He backed away slowly without saying another word. Thirty minutes later we saw him hitting on a poor girl that actually bought his crap.

- - End of flashback - -

When Rose had calmed down and stopped laughing she said spoke in a serious voice and with a smile that made my heart melt

"Tell me about Ivan and you. How you met and how he is"

"Only if you tell me about Lissa and you" I shot back with my own smile. I saw her smile grow bigger as she stuck her hand out and said "Deal" I caught her hand and felt that warm tingly motion spread through my body.

"Deal"

There you have it, chapter three, I hope you liked it :)
