I am so, so sorry that I'm updating late, I just wasn't satisfied with this chapter so I deleted the whole thing and rewrote it. I'm still not satisfied but it will do… AND it's around 3000 words! It's the longest chapter so far.

I hope you guys like it and THANK YOU so much for the response I got from the last chapter! Also, I changed the rating to T because of language.

Chapter five: Say (All I Need)

"You would be surprised if you knew how much family could hurt you" I said with hate in my voice. Rose must have noticed cause she squeezed my hand and said

"Hey, don't worry, its going to be okay" she didn't even know what it was about, but yet here she was, comforting me.

"Thank you" I whispered.

Dimitri looked so broken, so sad. I just wanted to throw my arms around him and hold him until he felt fine again. But I didn't even know what made him upset in the first place, and I was not one to push it, he would tell me if he wanted to. We only met a few hours ago so I really didn't blame him for not spilling every little thought he had. But I still wanted to cheer him up.

"So, what ice cream did you end up eating?" I asked referring to his story that ended with him and Ivan going to eat ice cream. He gave me a big smile before he replied

"Chocolate of course"

"Of course?" he eyed me in amusement

"Yeah, chocolate is the best flavor" he raised an eyebrow. Damn I wished I could do that,

"Uh, no. Vanilla is clearly the best ice cream flavor," then I made an epic fail at raising one eyebrow and Dimitri clearly noticed as he stifled a laugh. I glared at him in return and mumbled something about 'not laughing at someone who could kick your ass' then I looked at his muscles and a voice in my head laughed a 'yeah right' laugh.

"I'm sorry, you just looked so cute!" I could feel my cheeks turning red when he softly put his hand on my cheek and gazed into my eyes

"Your even cuter when you blush" he whispered, then his face came closer to mine. My heart stared to beat faster; I closed my eyes and waited for his lips to touch mine.

Only, they never did.

Instead, he kissed my burning red cheek. His lips were oh so soft and sweet and I couldn't help but wonder how they would feel against my own lips. When he retreated from my cheek he gave me a heart-stopping smile as we continued to gaze in each other's eyes, at least until someone decided to tap Dimitri's shoulder. He turned his head to the blond flight attendant that smiled seductively at Dimitri. I wanted to punch her face, why? I was jealous, and I had no idea why.

"Yes? Can I help you?" Dimitri asked politely, the flight-slut smiled even bigger when she got his attention. She leaned a little closer and pushed her fake breasts together,

"I just wanted to tell you-" she traced Dimitri's chest with her finger and giggled. I gagged. "- That dinner is served." She continued and did a gesture to the little wagon that carried the food. Her hand was still on Dimitri's chest and I wanted to cut that hand of off her body. I heard someone growl and it wasn't until Dimitri turned to face me that I realized that it was me who growled.

"That's great, thank you," he said as he turned back to her.

"You are welcome," the slut answered with her hand still on him, only now it was gliding down and landed at his stomach. I wished that her hand could catch fire from my glare. Dimitri coughed – obviously uncomfortable – but if it was because of the hand on his body or because of me, I had no idea. Seconds later I got my answer as he pushed the slut's hand away and finally said something. Although; what he said made me choke on my own saliva.

"This is my girlfriend, Rose. And I don't think she appreciates your hand on my body, right baby?" he smiled and turned to me but I could see the panic in his eyes, they pleaded for me to help him, I decided that I of course would help him since he helped me with Chuck the douchebag earlier. I gave the slut a fake smile, put my hand on Dimitri's and said in a sugar sweet voice,

"That's right honey. I really don't appreciate it. So if you could just get the fuck away and push your fake breasts in someone else's face, that would be great. Okay?" she gasped at the fake breasts comment, I laughed

"Oh please, you didn't think they looked real did you? Poor thing," I know, I'm such a bitch. But I just couldn't help it. She looked like she was about to cry when she took out our food from the wagon thing. After she placed the food in front of us she just stood there looking at us with a face that said 'well?'

"Are you waiting for a thank you? Because I don't think you're getting one from us so skip along." I said with a fake smile and did a motion with my hand showing her to leave. She huffed and turned away quickly.

"Wow. Your feisty," Dimitri grinned at me

"Is that a good thing? Or a bad thing?" I gave him an innocent smile although I'm sure the look in my eyes wasn't so innocent.

"Well, in this case I would say that it's a good thing," he leaned a little closer

"When is it a bad thing then? Cause I can be bad, really bad…" we both leaned closer, he was so close, so close that I could feel his breath bouncing on my lips. And once again the world decided that I wasn't worthy the kiss from this god as someone cleared their throat with an obnoxious Ahem. I looked away from Dimitri and saw – yes you guessed it – the flight-slut. She stood with her arms crossed and a smile was plastered on her face. I suddenly felt the urge to scream 'I fucking hate you bitch, leave us the fuck alone so I can get some action'

"I'm so sorry to interrupt-" yeah right "- I just wanted to tell you that you should probably eat while the food is still hot" okay, lets pretend that's why you came here bitch.

"About that, I really don't think I want to eat this," it was hard to say, I was so hungry I could die, but I really didn't want to eat anything she had touched. Dimitri gave me a confused look,

"Is there something wrong with the food Rose?" he put his hand on my thigh and my heart made a twirl.

"Yeah Rose is there something wrong?" she spat my name like it was something dirty.

"Actually yes. This skank touched it and I'm pretty sure she has a disease of some sort so I really don't want it. But thanks" I gave Dimitri the little tray and he shoved it in her arms together with his own tray. What the hell?

"I don't want mine either. So you can go now." He shooed her away and once again when she left she huffed.

"I really shouldn't have done that – I'm really hungry. And you didn't have to give away your food too you know," I laughed nervously when my eyes flickered to his lips and thought about our almost kiss. It was so weird but I felt this attraction to him, I was drawn to him, I wanted to get to know him on every level. I wanted him to get to know me on every level. Normally, I wasn't one to let people near me; I didn't want people to know private things about me. The only ones I ever let come close to me were my parents and my two best friends. And it wasn't easy. But I loved my parents with everything in me and I had a great relationship with both of them so it was easy to open up to them, they were always there to help me. And the same goes for Lissa and Mia, Lissa I have known my whole life, we were always there for each other. We helped each other with everything and talked about everything. But the best thing was that sometimes all we needed to do was share a look. And that look said all we needed to know. Mia and I on the other hand had a completely different relationship. We met when we were ten years old, she had moved in a couple of blocks away and Lissa met her at the mall, dragged her to my house and introduced our new best friend. Turns out, we made great friends with Mia, she was the light, happy sarcastic bitch we needed. Mia was a lot like me, we were both bitches and spoke what was on our mind when Lissa always saw something good in everyone and was polite and sweet to every person she met. Mia just succeeded in being a bitch in a nice way, don't ask me how cause I have no freaking idea, but she managed.

She was always there for both Lissa and I but the difference between Lissa and Mia was that when Lissa comforted someone she just wanted them to feel good, talk about it and let them cry on her shoulder. Mia had a different strategy, she was hard and told the truth, and that was exactly what you needed sometimes. Therefore I always had both of them around when I needed comfort, they were a great mix. I felt something move on my thigh and looked down to see Dimitri's hand there.

"Are you okay?" there was concern in his voice.

"Yes, I'm fine just hungry and really tired, I wasted my food on a slut after all,"

"Are you jealous?" he suddenly asked, and I blushed harder than ever,

"What! No, pssh" I looked away from his eyes "me jealous, over what?"

"That girl"

"The flight-slut? Absolutely not, what is there to be jealous about?"

"You tell me," he had an amused smile in his lips and I glared in return

"Oh shut up," I muttered turning away from him closing my eyes, maybe it was time for a little nap.

DPOV

Yes, 'definitely jealous' I thought as Rose blushed. And honestly, when that Chuck guy hit on her, I was jealous too.

Rose fell asleep after our talk and her head fell to my shoulder. I leaned my cheek against her soft silky hair and felt at peace as I fell into my own sleep.

I dreamed about Rose, and her beautiful face, her soft lips and how they would feel on my own.

I woke up two hours later when someone tapped my free shoulder and before I opened my eyes I thought 'please don't be the flight attendant'. When I opened my eyes I almost had a heart attack because the man that stood in front of me were Abe Hathaway, Rose's dad. And he looked pissed.

After some very detailed stories about boys that had hit on Rose, and very scary death threats and me convincing him that I had absolutely nothing going on with Rose, and the 'she just simply fell asleep on my shoulder' explanation he decided to go back to his seat.

"Oh before I go, I noticed Rose didn't eat her food,"

"That's correct, Sir," I almost shit my pants from fear. This man was not big, but he could talk. And I had no doubt that he followed up on his threats.

"She is going to be very hungry when she wakes up. And when she is hungry she gets cranky. Order her some donuts and she will love you forever." He looked at Rose as if she was the most precious girl in the world.

"I will. Thank you Sir," he gave me a glare before he left.

To avoid the girl that stopped the kiss between Rose and I, I waved a flight attendant over instead of pushing the button. I asked for six chocolate glazed donuts, one coffee for me and one tea for Rose. During the time I've known Rose, I picked up that she is absolutely disgusted by the taste of coffee.

As if Rose could smell that the donuts were on the way she started to wake up.

"I am so hungry!" she whined and pouted. So damn adorable.

"Great, cause I fixed us some food," at this her head snapped up.

"Really? What kind of food? And from who?" she studied me intentionally,

"Oh don't worry it was absolutely not from, as you so delicately put it, the 'flight-slut', and what it is you'll just have to wait and see,"

"Fine," she said and crossed her arms

"Your dad was over here when you were asleep, he told me you would love me forever if I got you this," her mouth dropped open when I mentioned that her father had paid me a visit, then she narrowed her eyes as if she were thinking and the next thing I know, she is squealing,

"You got me donuts? Please tell me you did!" she clung herself to my arm and gave me big puppy dog eyes, I'll say it again so damn adorable.

"Yes, I did. And some tea… I'm not sure if you like tea but I thought that y-"

"Ah, you're the best, thanks Comrade,"

"Why are you calling me that?"

"What? Comrade?" I nodded

"It suites you," she said with a big smile. I was just about to argue when our donuts arrived. This flight attendant gave us a smile and handed me the donuts and the hot drinks,

"Enjoy," as she left Rose followed her with her eyes

"I like her,"

When the pilot announced that we were landing in ten minutes and to fasten our seatbelts a sad feeling crept over me, it was time to say goodbye to Rose. After we ate our donuts we talked again and later Rose wanted to sleep some more so that's what she's doing right now. She told me about Lissa and her other friend Mia and about her life before her mother moved and how she really wanted to go to culinary school and become a chef. Apparently she was a big food lover, and cooking was her big passion. In return I told her about Ivan and my family, my life in Russia and my life in America. I told her about my passion, writing. I told her about the creating writing program I attended at my college. I just enjoyed being with Rose she made it so easy. I didn't have to pretend with her, I could be myself around her without her judging me cause that's just who she is. Rose is a wonderful girl, and I wasn't ready to let her go yet. Once again Rose woke up next to me, she saw the seatbelt sign and hurried to fasten it, only when she looked down and saw that it was already done. She looked up at me with a confused look on her face,

"Did you do this?" she asked and pointed to her seatbelt,

"Of course, I couldn't let you sit there without any protection,"

"You could've woke me up, you know,"

"No, you looked so peaceful and sweet. I thought I'd let you sleep some more," she looked into my eyes and smiled as she tucked a few strands of hear behind her ear.

"Well then, thank you so much my noble Sir," she did a little bow

"You are very much welcome milady," I said with a terrible English accent that made Rose burst out laughing. Her laugh was the sweetest sound I've ever heard.

"That was terrible, an English accent mixed with a Russian one? Oh god, I hope I'll never have to hear that again," by now we were both laughing and the plain was landing.

"This is a little sad… I mean, for a twelve hour flight I think we got to know each other pretty well, you know?" she looked up at me, all serious. Every trace of laughing was long gone. She felt the same way as I did.

"Yes, I do know," I smiled a warm smile at her, "You know, we could always-"

"Kız, are you ready? We need to get off the plane, sevgilim." Ah, Rose's father was Turkish. She looked at me with sad eyes before she turned to her father,

"Yeah… lets go. Dimitri could you...?" she motioned for me to stand up,

"Ah, yes. Sorry." I rose to my feet and moved out of the way. Rose stood up and took a stand beside her father who put a protective arm around her waist.

"You're tall," she stated

"I know," I grinned at her as she took a step forward and put her arms around my neck and hugged me close. I didn't hesitate to hug her back.

"It was so nice to meet you, Dimitri. I really enjoyed this flight – which I honestly thought was impossible – but you made it amazing. Thank you," she whispered the last part, I pulled away and kissed her cheek,

"Likewise. I'm happy I met you; you're a great girl Rose. I'll miss you," she gave me one last smile before she turned around and got off the plane. When I couldn't see her anymore I felt like a piece of my heart was missing.

RPOV

Dad and I had just picked up our luggage and made our way to the exit where mom waited for us, I was extremely happy that I finally was going to see mom, but I couldn't shake the feeling of sadness away, I was sad to say it, but I think a special Russian is behind that feeling. Before I could lose myself in thoughts of Dimitri my dad called my name,

"Mmhm?" I turned to himwith both eyebrows raised, since I for some reason couldn't rise just one.

"Whose hoodie is that? Its not yours cause its way too big for you," I looked down and realized I still had Dimitri's hoodie on and it made me smile.

"Its Dimitri's, I borrowed it because I was cold. I forgot to return it," I shrugged my shoulders,

"But you have a cardigan in your bag, I put it there," ah, Abe, always the caring one. I just grinned at him,

"I know."

So, what do you think? Was it any good? Which part did you like? Which part did you dislike?

Next chapter will be the reunion between Rose and her mom, and some more information about Dimitri's family issues. What do you think they are?

And don't worry, there will be flashbacks from their talk after the donut-dinner and in those flashbacks you will get to know Ivan and Dimitri's family and Rose's life before her mom moved. The next chapter will be up tomorrow if I finish it. I really appreciate your support; it means the world to me.

So, review! Thank you.
