DPOV

I smiled when I woke up the next morning, I remembered what had happened after the Tasha incident. After we danced to a few more songs, we then left the dance floor to get something to drink only to get interrupted when my mother spoke through the mike that was by the table.

FLASHBACK

"Can I please have everyone come to the table and sit down so we can start the dinner?" Olena asked. I took Rose's hand and guided her to our table. I took her chair out for her and pushed it back in when she sat down. She smiled at me as thanks as I sat down next to her.

"Thank you for joining us today to celebrate Rosemarie and Dimitri's engagement party, and I hope that you will be also be joining us to celebrate their wedding in a couple of weeks. Now can you please raise your glasses in congratulation for their union." She stood and rose her glass as cheers to the couple and shout hurrah, it wasn't long before everybody except Rose and I stood up and copied. I turned to look at Rose who was laughing and smiling brightly at the scene before her, I smile and took her hand and brought it to my lips and gave it a kiss. I saw the look she gave me and laughed. When everybody sat down again Rose stood up and thanked everyone and asked them to have a blessed evening and to enjoy the meal.

It was late by the time we went to bed, I gave Rose another kiss on her hand and moved to leave when I felt a tug on my hand. I looked down to see our hands still entwined and gave a confused look. It wasn't until she spoke that I understood.

"Dimitri I just want to thank you for this evening and I also saw that you can be a charming person and I would like to see more of that charming side. So thank you." She said and kissed me on my cheek. She smiled and left. "Goodnight Dimitri."

"Goodnight Rose." I whispered with my hand still on my cheek.

"Wait Rose," I called before she closed her door, she looked back at me with a confused look, but I smiled in reassurances that it wasn't bad. " I want to make this work, the whole mating and marriage, I know I was and probably still am, an arsehole for what I said to you, but I really hope that we can move past that and hopefully start again, only this time with a better knowledge of each other. I don't want this marriage based on the truce. I want...I want to get to know you Rose." I said looking straight at her, hoping she would agree to what I was asking. I was starting to get nervous when she didn't do anything after I basically declared a truce to her and when I was about to ask her about it, I saw her nodding her head as an indication that she was agreeing to my "terms". I smiled and walked to my room after I said goodnight to her again thinking that tomorrow I would show her that I can and will be a more nice and charming person for her.

FLASHBACK OVER

After what felt like hours, which technical was only 20 minutes, I stood and left my bed to get ready for the day. I wasn't lying when I thought and promised myself, I will be a better man for Rose because that's what she needs at the moment and forever. When I was presentable enough, I left. I thought for a moment to see if Rose was up but I thought against it, she's a real evil person when she's angry.

As soon as I came down stairs I saw Rose, Lissa, Vicky and my mother all sitting at the dinner table chatting at once, but as soon as they saw me they were quite.

"Morning everybody, what's with the secrecy?" I asked once I sat down at my chair with my breakfast, I looked up at Rose to see her smile, I returned the smile and looked at my mother for answers.

"Morning Dimka, nothing is wrong we were just discussing the wedding. We were wondering if you would like to come with us to the venue for it." My mother asked or well commanded me to do.

"Please Dimitri." Rose asked as well with a pout on her face. I never seen her so happy, and I did promise her that I'll and be the man she wanted and if that means that I have to do this then so be it.

"Okay I'll come with." I replied and smiled, she beamed with a smile and continued talking to Lissa and the others while I finished my breakfast.

RPOV

After Dimitri agreed to come with us, I was smiling for the whole day because that's how happy I was. We left as soon as he was finished with his breakfast, I giggled because he had syrup on his face from his pancakes that he was eating he looked at me confused until I pointed out the fact that he had syrup on his face.

"Thank you Rose." He replied and smiled. I shrugged in response and took his hand, he was shocked for a second before shrugging and gripped my hand tighter and pulled me to the door so we could leave. Adrian was already in the van with Vicky, Lissa, Christian, Mason and Olena, we also had some guards in another van that would be driving behind us.

"Hey everybody." I greeted and was chorused back with "Hey Rose" and "Hey Rosie" I rolled my eyes at that.

"Really Christian?" He smiled and shrugged, in return I rolled my eyes at his stupidity.

"Olena I was wondering if we can use the palace for the reception?" I asked her, looking at Dimitri for approval because it was also his wedding. He nodded in agreement, I turned back to Olena who was smiling so brightly it looked like she was going to start jumping up and down like Lissa out of excitement.

"We can have the wedding at the Cathedral." Dimitri said, I nodded. It was a beautiful place to be married in.

"Well then the venues are settled, now onto the food, time, music, flowers, maids, how many people are coming etc." My future mother-in-law said ticking off anything she can think of mentally. I looked at Lissa who was scribbling everything in her notebook about what must happen, I'm so glad that I have Lissa and Olena to help with the wedding seen as my mother isn't here.

As soon as we arrived in town, we sorted out where we would go and how many guards would come with us. Dimitri and I would be going to see the menu at some of the restaurants and wedding places. Lissa, Olena and Vicky would be going to the cutlery and tables place along with Christian and Mason. Adrian and a few other Guards would be going with Dimitri and me because we were the future King and Queen. Olena would have 4 guards because she was still the Queen until Dimitri got married.

We went our separate ways and agreed to meet back in about 3 hours, it gave us enough time to look at wedding things, the menu and maybe to just walk around to get to know each other better.

We sorted the menu's out quicker than I expected, we then left for the wedding place to get flowers for the wedding, we decided to get white and blue roses because of the pureness of marriage and the blue represents mystery and the start of love in the marriage. Seen as we're not in love yet I thought the blue would be nice instead of the red roses.

We left soon after, we started to walk to the food court I looked at my phone to check the time to only see that 2 hours have passed I looked at Dimitri and asked if he was hunger, he said no so we just got a cup of coffee. I signed and thought for a moment before I looked at him.

"Dimitri lets play 21 questions." I asked him, he gave me the one eye-brow look. "Oh come on, we're getting married in a few weeks if not a month, and I want to know more about you." He signed and motioned for me to go first.

"Okay, let's start with something easy. What's your favourite pass time?" I asked him, taking a sip of my Latte.

"Reading western books." He replied with a straight face, I gave him a smile but on the inside I was dying not to laugh.

"Seriously?" He nodded.

"Okay my turn what type of music does you like?"

"Umm tough question I guess, I like all kinds of music except old music that sound crap I guess." I thought then nodded after a moment to say that was it.

It continued back and forth it only stopped when I checked my phone to see the time only to realise that it was passed the time we were supposed to leave, when I told him, he got up and held out his hand to me. I took it and together we walked hand in hand to the entrance we were supposed to be at 10 minutes ago.

We were the last to arrive, Lissa ran over and gave me a tight hug and a small smile. I in return gave her an amused look, the hormones. We left the mall in a hurry because everyone was dying to get back home and discuss the wedding.

When we arrive back to the palace, Dimitri did the same thing as he did at the mall and took my hand and lead me inside.

"So the wedding will be in a couple of weeks if you exclude this week it gives us 5 weeks to plan and make everything run perfectly which isn't even enough time. But we can make it." Lissa said without taking a breath. I laugh and nodded, I took her arm and Olena with Vicky and dragged them upstairs. Dimitri smiled and shook his head and followed us.

I'M SOOOOOO SORRY THAT THIS STORY TOOK FOREVER TO WRITE I REALLY APOLOGISE. ANYWAY HAPPY NEW YEARS AND HOPE YOU GUYS HAD AN AWESOME XMAS.
