Chapter 2:

RPOV

Dimitri Belikov and Adrian Ivashkov turned around at the same time. Adrian had emerald green eyes and tousled hair, making him look like he had just got out of bed. He also had a sadistic smirk on his face, overall, he looks cute. Dimitri had chocolate brown eyes that I immediately got lost in, and shoulder length brown hair that is tied up at the nape of his neck. He was about 6'7" while Adrian was about 6'3". Dimitri had a tanned muscular body, not bulky at all. Adrian had a lean body with just a few muscles. I concluded, I will choose Dimitri, as maybe Adrian has some disease on him. No offense intended to Adrian though. I greeted my Father and Mother, and took a seat beside Dimitri. Baba asked me," Have you made a decision yet Rose?" I nodded and said," I choose Dimitri Belikov, the duke of Russia." Dimitri smiled while I saw a scowl forming on Adrian's face. Baba nodded and said I hope you won't regret your decision. I nodded back at him, and brought Dimitri to a tour of the mansion. He was quite shocked at the size of the mansion, and when I showed him his room, he joked," I dun think I remembered all of the facilities here Roza."

"Roza?"

"Yeah… its your name in Russian." He said with a sheepish expression.

"Hmm… I like it Dimitri! Its sounds really nice!"

Dimitri grinned and kissed me on the cheek and backed into his room. I stood there stunned, his kiss still burning on my cheek. A guy never ever stunned me and yet Dimitri Belikov could. Wow. I think I was really starting to like him. Ok I am glad I took him as my fiancée instead of Adrian.

The next morning, I woke up to the sounds of the knocking on my door. I groggily stood up and shouted," Come in!" Dimitri opened the door and stepped in, standing there in all of his glory. I smiled at him at beckoned at him to come and sit on my bed. Just then I realized he has made me change so much, I have become less bitchy, snappy and cruel towards my servants. I smiled. Probably I did make the right choice. He might be my soul mate. Dimitri sat down beside me and took my hand in his hands and asked," Do you want to go out with me as I need to get a present for my little sister, Viktoria?"

"Of course Dimitri! What color does your sister like? What type of fabric does your sister prefer?" I started bombarding him with questions about his sister and in the end, he told me about his family back in Russia. I lay back on the bed, with Dimitri still siting and telling me the embarrassing moments of his childhood. I smiled and laughed at the stories of his sisters bullying him. After an hour or so, I stood up and ordered Mia to prepare a bath for me. After setting up the bath, I thanked her, something I don't do to my servants. Mia was so taken aback that she stuttered a your welcome and rushed out of my room. I soaked in the hot bath while Dimitri went back to his room to wash up. I smiled at the thought of going out later with Dimitri, picking a present for Vika. After cleaning myself up, I slipped on the baby blue dress that hugs my curves everywhere, accentuating them. I smirked and walked out of my room, meeting up with Dimitri at the main door. His eyes bugged out when he saw me, and I smirked. "See something you like comrade?"

"Comrade?" Dimitri asked me in a confused tone.

I blushed, " That wasn't meant to come out but anyways, you gave me a nickname, so it's my turn!"

Dimitri shook his head and a rueful smile formed on his face. He beckoned me to follow him and we decided to just drive a car into the marketplace and pick out a cloth and have the seamstresses at home to sew it into a dress for Vika. Based on Dimitri's 'knowledge' of Vika, I think that she likes the color purple and she likes silk. I walked in and strode towards my favorite stall amongst all the other stalls. I requested for a violet silk cloth and Dimitri paid for it despite my protests. When we reached home, I gave the cloth to my seamstress and decided on a design of the cloth that both Dimitri and I agreed on.

Just then, I looked up at Dimitri and noticed that he was staring at me too. I let out a slight gasp, before lilting my head upwards, as Dimitri started to lean down.

Ooooooooooohhhhh… are Dimitri and Rose going to kiss? Well just wait for the next chapter!
