Thanks for reading.

Review PLEASE! I would like it if I had more reviews for this story. Thanks for sticking with me even though I'm the suckiest person ever! JK! Sorry for all the spelling mistakes and grammatical errors! I'm only human and writing this to the best of my ability.

If anyone has an idea for either of my stories, pm me! I'll see if I can put it in or not and I'll give credit of course!

I now write another story: As Long As You're Here. It's a Vampire Academy RosexDimitri! Check it out please! Here's the summary:

Summary:

Rose and Dimitri have been best friends ever since elementary school. They went to the same schools and always hung out together. Now Rose and Dimitri live together in an apartment in New York. Rose owns a cafe and Dimitri is a lawyer. With the arrival of a dare, Rose and Dimitri's friendship will be tested. How far will the lines stretch before they both snap?

This story has no relation to the movie Friends With Benefits. There shall be no references to that movie. I wrote this story because all of the Friends with Benefits stories were about the actual movie and that annoyed me.

ROSE POV

"Okay." I got up and left the room, with Viktoria and Dimitri following. We met the rest of the Belikovs in the lobby. We piled into my car and after stopping at McDonald's for lunch, I drove us home. That's when I remembered.

Today was Friday.

Tonight, I had a date with Dimitri.


DIMITRI POV

My date with Roza was tonight. On the outside I was cool and collected. The inside Dimitri was freaking out. I planned to cook a traditional Russian dinner for her at the gazebo in the backyard. I didn't want to take her out in public yet. She might not feel comfortable on a date with me when everyone was watching her. I wanted Roza to be relaxed. I was in the kitche, making sure that I had all of the ingredients.

"Dimka, calm down. Roza is going to love it. Even though we just met, I can tell that Roza is a nice and caring young lady," Mama said, patting my shoulder.

"Thanks mama. Do you know where she is?"

"Yes Dimka, she's upstairs fretting about what to wear." Viktoria said, coming into the kitchen. "Can you please give her a hint?"

I thought about it. "Tell her to wear something she can relax in. A simple dress will do. But why is she getting ready so early? We have three hours until our date."

Viktoria scoffed. "Dimka you're such a man. It takes at least three for a girl to look even presentable. Right now, we're going for gorgeous!"

I stared at her dumbly. My Roza was already gorgeous. Hell! She was beautiful. An angel. My angel.

"Tell Roza that I think that she is the most beautiful woman in the world. No one can compare to her beauty. It's inside and out. Make sure she knows that I said that."

Viktoria grinned widely and skipped upstairs to deliver my message. I began to prepare dinner. I decided to make Shashlik (meat skewers, similar to Shish Kebab.), black bread, and Kalduny (stuffed dumplings). I hoped that Roza loved the food of my country. I wanted her to enjoy herself on the date, and hopefully we would have many more to come.


ROSE POV

I sat on my bed trying to decide what to wear. It was between a Red Herring Pink Striped Sun Dress and a Victoria's Secret Coral Knife Pleated Maxi Dress. So far, I wanted to wear my maxi dress. I thought that my coral t-strap sandals would match perfectly with the dress. Confident in my outfit, I set out my nude underwear set and headed to the shower. My nerves began to build as I realized what was going to happen. I was going on a date with Dimitri Belikov. What if he wanted to kiss me? What if he wanted sex? I wasn't sure if I could do that yet. It had been a long time since I had even let a man, besides my father and guards, touch me. If Dimitri wanted to have sex with me, I didn't know what I would do.

"One step at a time Rose. One step at a time," I muttered while stepping out of the shower.

I put on my outfit and sat down at the vanity. Deciding to go mostly natural, I just put on eyeliner, mascara, blush, and nude lip gloss. I stared at myself in the full length mirror, deciding if I was worth it. There were millions of girls that were just as beautiful as I was, and had way less drama in there life. With me, Dimitri was stuck with the swarms of reporters, and having no privacy. I didn't want him to have to deal with that, but he insisted that I was worth it.

"Roza you look beautiful!"

I turned around to see Olena and Viktoria at my door, staring at me in awe.

"Thank you Olena," I blushed. People had complimented me before, but it sounded much more comforting coming from Olena's mouth.

"You're welcome dear. Dimitri is ready and is waiting for you. He asked me to escort you downstairs."

I smiled and followed Olena downstairs. I assumed Dimitri would be waiting for me, but I was wrong.

"Uh... Olena? Where is Dimitri?"

"Oh he's outside, in the backyard. Why don't you go ask him what's taking so long?" she grinned.

I nervously smiled back and went out the back door. I gasped as I saw the twinkiling lights decorating my gazebo. Soft music played in the background. Dimitri stood at the entrance, dressed in a suit. He had a bouquet of roses in his hands. Tears threatened to escape my eyes as I slowly approached him.

"Dimitri, what is all of this?"

He just smiled at me. "Roza, I wanted to show you a piece of me that few women ever see. I'm not the most open person but there's something about you that makes me feel like I can tell you anything. I love that feeling. I cherish it, and if I can only have it with you, then so be it."

By now, the tears had fallen down my face. Dimitri was the sweetest man I knew. I grabbed his face and brought his lips to mine. The kiss was passionate and sweet. I gladly let his sweet tongue explore my mouth. Beofre things could go even farther, Dimitri pulled back and rested my forehead against his.

"I would like you to taste the food."

I chuckled and moved towards the gazebo. Dimitri had set up a table with candles and wine glasses. Next to the table was a portable tray that had many covered dishes on it. Dimitri pulled my chair out for me as I moved to sit.

"So what are we eating Comrade?"

"Well Roza," he said sitting down, "I wanted you to taste some of the traditional food from my country. Is that alright?"

I jsut nodded. "You cooked all of this?"

Dimitri smiled and nodded at me. "Would you like to eat?"

I smiled excitedly. Dimitri always went to the end of the Earth for me. He picked up a tray and set out some meat on skewers.

"Is this Shish Kebab?" I asked, picking one up and examining it. There was meat and what looked like peppers, but I couldn't be sure.

"It's Shashlik. It is similar to a shish kebab. It has beef and red bell peppers. I hope you like it."

I stared at the food. After a minute, I decided to take a small bite. Dimitri watched me in anticipation.

"Well? How is it?"

"This is amazing!" I gushed. "Dimitri, I didn't know you could cook!"

He blushed. "I dabble in the kitchen. "

"No, this is more than dabbling, this is expert level. What else are we eating?"

Dimitri laughed at my eagerness before opening another covered dish. "This is Kalduny. It's similar to a dumpling. It's stuffed with meat and mushrooms."

I picked one up with my fork and bit into it. Once again, a delicious taste filled my mouth as I chewed the "dumpling." As I chewed, Dimitri pulled out another tray.

"I wanted to save this one for last. It's black bread. My mother makes it everyday back home."

I bit into the bread. "Holy shit Dimitri! This is amazing!"

Dimitri laughed at my outburst as he bit into his own piece of black bread. "It is amazing isn't?"

We sat at the table for most of the night, talking about our lives. I told Dimitri about my life before I became 'Rose Hathaway.' In return he told me about his life in Russia. Pretty soon, the night and our date was over. Dimitri escorted me back to my room. We both stood at the door, unsure of what to say.

"I had a lot of fun tonight Dimitri," I said shyly.

"I did too Roza," he smiled.

I suddenly remembered my thoughts while I was getting ready for the date. Did I want to have sex with Dimitri? After everything with him, was I ready? Something spoke up inside of me. I couldn't let my past stop me from loving in the present and future. Did I love Dimitri? I had only known him for a few weeks; was it possible to fall in love that fast? If I didn't love Dimitri, I sure did have strong feelings for him. With that, I opened my door and invited Dimitri in. Even if we didn't have sex, I would still love to see him in the same bed as me.

I removed my shoes and sat on the edge of my bed. Dimtri sat on the couch across from me. For awhile we both just stared at eachother, no words coming from either of us. Dimitri reached out and cupped my face in his hands. I smiled. We both leaned forward until our lips met. I moaned into Dimtiri's mouth as the kiss intensified. Dimitri took that opportunity to slip his tongue in my mouth. Our tongues moved with each other. Dimitri groaned and nudged me backwards. I laid on the bed with Dimitri hovering over me. His hands squeezed my hips as my roamed his back. Eventually, Dimitri's shirt disappeared. My hands touched everywhere they could manage, his abs, chest, biceps, anywhere. After minutes of kissing, Dimitri pulled back.

"Roza, are you sure you want to do this?"

I stared into his eyes, trying to find a reason that would make me say no.

"Yes."
