Hello all you lovely readers out there. Thanks one million times for all the reviews and subscription/favorite adds. I wanted to do everything you requested but that's impossible so I decided to follow my gut on this one, I hope you like it anyways. And I got a PM about Dimitri's duster, asking where it was; well it's in this chapter, haha!
So, please don't kill me for this chapter. The love and fluff will come, I promise.
Who saw Harry Potter last night? I did, and what a disappointment. They missed so much from the book :( what did you think?

Chapter seven: Waking Up
"Please…" my voice was pleading. And I didn't know what I was pleading for.
"Please what? What do you want?" I drew a big shaky breath and before I could stop myself I said the most embarrassing thing I could've said.
"You."
RPOV
Dimitri bent his head down and waited for me to take the next step – and trust me, I wanted to – but something stopped me. I started to think about what I was doing, I stood in the middle of the street outside the airport and my parents stood right behind me. But the biggest thing was the fact that I've only known Dimitri for a day. It seemed like he realized it too when he dropped his hand from my waist and my hair.
"I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have done that. It was inappropriate." He said and ran a hand through that gorgeous silky hair of his.
"No, there's no need to apologize. I'm sorry too. I want to kiss you, I really do," he laughed a little and I couldn't help but to smile at that.
"Its just… we've known each other for a day and my father is right behind me. He will kill you if he catches us kissing." I glanced back at my father, and thank god he was in a middle of a conversation with my mom.
"I known, this is just so confusing. I feel myself being drawn to you, and it feels like I've known you for longer than a day" I blushed at his, but what he said was the truth.
"My thoughts exactly-" I smiled at him "-but are you sure you don't want this back?" I said and pinched the black hoodie. He studied me – or it – for a while until he just shook his head.
"No, keep it. It looks cute on you."
"Besides the fact that it looks like I'm drowning?" I laughed and Dimitri just smiled a big smile instead of saying anything.
"Rose? You coming?" I turned around to see my mother giving me a look that said 'details please', she was just like Lissa and Mia sometimes.
"Yeah, I'm coming." I turned back to Dimitri and pointed at mom "That's my fancy lawyer mom, I need to go. It was really nice meeting you though and thanks for the hoodie" I gave him one last smile and turned around to leave when he gripped my wrist,
"Wait, will I see you again?" I positioned my mouth by his ear and whispered
"Come find me, Dimka."
Mom was driving and I called shotgun, leaving dad in the backseat. She told us about Russia and how wonderful and beautiful it was, that the food was amazing and so on. Dad told her what had been happening at home and how it was going with his and Lissa's dads firm. Then suddenly they started to talk about how wonderful the schools are in Russia and it sounded so rehearsed, I got suspicious.
"Are you trying to tell me something?" I eyed both my parents and they looked… guilty.
Mom pulled over to the curb and stopped the car. She turned to my father who nodded to her. She took a deep breath and turned back to me.
"Rose, promise to be calm."
"What's going on? Oh my god, are you having a divorce? Are you telling me that when your divorced I have to move here with mom? No please I-" dad cut me of by putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Rose, calm down. We are not having a divorce, you're mom and I love each other very much."
"Then what's going on? Stop beating around the bush and just tell me!"
"We want to move here. Permanently."
- - Two days later - -
Knock, knock, knock.
"Rose? Please open up. I know that you are upset but I have something that will make you happy. Just open up." This was my mother's tenth attempt to get me out of the room today. After they dropped the bomb on me that we were moving to Russia I had thrown a fit, I screamed and cried and begged them to reconsider.
"Are you going to tell me that we are not moving here?" I screamed back at her.
"No… come on Rose open up. I promise you're going to love it," she pleaded, I could almost she her puppy dog eyes staring through the door. I groaned as I rose from my black king size bed and stomped to the door and flung it open.
"Rose, oh we've missed you!" squealed a very familiar voice.
Behind the door, beside my mother stood my best friends. In front of me stood Lissa and Mia.
DPOV (still two days later – every conversation is in Russian)
After an excruciating long car ride I was finally home in Baia. I stepped out of my rental car and took a big breath, the smell of earth and flowers mixed with food filled my nose. It smelled like home. I was planning on sneaking in and surprise my mother but that plan went to pieces when I heard a loud scream and turned around to see my little sister Vika standing by my car. I smiled a big smile when she ran into my arms and clung herself to me.
"Dimka, it's so good to see you. I can't believe you're here, it's been so long," I could hear that she was starting to tear up so I gently stroked her hair to soothe her like I always did when we were little. Vika and I had always been close to each other, just like Sonya and Karolina were close.
"I know, two years… I've missed you too, you're so big now. All grown up." I said as I pulled out from the hug to look at her. She was fifteen now and had just finished her first year in high school, but I still saw my little sister there. She would always be little to me. I brought a hand up to her cheek and wiped away her tears that were now falling freely, she smiled through the tears and gave me a little swat on my upper arm that was covered with my dark brown leather duster. I gasped in faked shock and pulled a hurt expression on my face.
"What was that for?" I couldn't keep the laughter in anymore and it came out as a weird sound that made Viktoria burst out laughing too.
"That, was for leaving me here two years ago, and this-" she said and pulled me back in a tight hug "-is for coming back." She whispered the last part, pressed a kiss to my cheek and turned back to the house. I grabbed her arm pulling her back,
"Come on Vika, let's go somewhere and catch up." She smiled warmly at me, looped her arm with mine and started walking.
"So how's it going with Lev? Are you still a couple?"
Vika started dating Lev Fedorov two months before I moved, he was a great guy, and the only one I've ever approved of. At the mention of him Vika's face shined, her eyes sparkled and her mouth was formed into the biggest smile I've ever seen on her.
"Yes we are, it's going good. Great actually. He's really excited to see you again." She took a sip of her soda before she continued, "he's so good to me Dimka, and I really love him. I know I'm just fifteen, but I've been with him for almost two and a half years. And he's the only guy you've ever liked." She winked at me.
"Oh my god, do you remember when Sonya dragged that Roland guy home? That was hilarious! Do you remember that you a-" I cut her of by groaning and putting my head on the cold table.
"Please don't remind me, I can't stand that guy…" my voice was muffled due to me being pressed down to a table. Viktoria just laughed.
"I'm so glad you're home again Dimka. Mom really needs you right now…" she said as she put her hand on mine.
"I know, I just can't understand why this is happening to us, you know?" a sad look crossed her face but she didn't say anything else, and she didn't have to. She knew what I was talking about and I knew she felt the exact same way.
SO sorry to cut it there, I just don't have time to write more at the moment and I wanted to give you something.
So, Lissa and Mia is in Russia, Rose's parents want to move and what is going on with Dimitri's family? And how and when do you think Rose and Dimka will meet again? Review and I just might update with a 4000 word long chapter in two days ;)
