A/N- Thank you so much to Joana Rodrigues, anacig, and bmfm fan for life for reviewing.
bmfm fan for life- I totally see your point of view on there. From an outsider, Rose could totally be like jailbait.
I'm glad so many of you like this story. Here's chapter 3!

Chapter 3: Snow Angel
Rose POV
I noticed this place sold subs. That sounded good. We could eat them in the car if we had to. I put our order in and waited. I looked back towards the car to see Dimitri looking at me. His sight was also drifting off to the men eyeing me. He had this protective look in his eye. "What is it?" I asked him when he finally walked towards me. Our order was taking awhile to be made.
My question must have startled him because he snapped out of the daze he was in and said, "Huh. Nothing. We should eat in the car to save time. The snow is getting harder and I don't want to get stuck in the storm."
Someone called our number, I picked up our bag of food and followed him out. I looked at the fluffy white snow we had to tramp through."Hmm?" I said, pondering what we should do now. Dimitri being the giant man he was, walking through the snow with ease. I struggled behind him through the snow when Dimitri suddenly stopped. An old man was talking to him, something about bad weather and taking cover. When I got closer, Dimitri said, "Well Roza, looks like we're going to have to find somewhere to stay the night."
I looked up at him. Snow fell in his dark hair. My cheeks flushed out with a light red. "Like a hotel?" So many thoughts were running through my mind. The things Dimitri and I could do alone in a hotel room were unlimited. I wanted to be with him so badly, and I knew he did too.
Dimitri spoke again, and I snapped my head up, "Yeah, probably a motel though. We're on the academy's budget. Wait in the car. I have to call Alberta and tell her about our delay." I started walking towards the car again but then I looked back at the inches of snow that was growing. It made me wish Lissa was with us. She loved the snow. It also made me think back to when we used to make snow angels. " Hmm." I flopped down in the snow. Placing our sandwiches in my pocket, I laid there while Dimitri was on the phone.
Several minutes later, I heard Dimitri exclaim, "Roza! What are you doing! You're going to get sick!" I gigged. He called me Roza. My dark eyes opened up and looked at him hovering over me. " Shhh! I'm making a angel." I giggled again. I had just 'shushed' Dimitri. He shook his head from side to side, looking at me with amusement and disapproval.
"Come on Roza we have to go." he said stepping towards me. I pouted. "You should do one too." I say to him as my arms and legs started to move the snow around me. " Leave your mark in Idaho. " I told him as I slowed down my swishing.
"No Roza. I don't need to get both of us sick." Dimitri said again. He extended his arm toward me to help me up. When I didn't take it, he bent down and grabbed me. I didn't fight him on it. I even leaned up took hold of his shoulders. It was nice to be in his arms, even if it was just for a little while. I rested my face on his chest.
Minutes later, Dimitri tried to pry me off of him. I was being difficult, I didn't want to let him go. "Now you're getting me wet Roza." he joked, though it was true. I let him go and looked down at my angel. " You should have made one with me." I told him as I pulled his sandwich out of my pocket. It was cold and wet along with my own. "Roza you got our food cold and wet too!" Dimitri scolded at me. I looked at him and smirked my face." Its now a cold cut." I told him. I was shivering now, just standing here wet and cold. Damn, Dimitri was probably right. I was going to get sick. "Come on." he said, "Let's get you in the car and warmed up."
Dimitri POV
I kept watching Roza, narrowing my eyes when I saw others watching her as well. I anger built up in me. Only I could be watching my Roza, those other men didn't deserve to be looking at her. 'Neither do you,' said a voice in the back of my mind. I ignored it and walked up to Roza. Rose looked up at me. "What is it?" she asked. I stopped glaring at the other men. "Huh. Nothing. We should eat in the car to save time. The snow is getting harder and I don't want to get stuck in the storm." I mentioned. We waited a little longer for our food to come. When someone called our number, Rose grabbed the bag and we headed out.
Once we got outside I saw that the snow had increased significantly. For anyone else, walking through this mess would be trouble, but for someone like myself it was easy. I was raised in this weather, as much as I wanted to shake Rose's stereotype. As we walked out an older man called out to us. "You kids better find some cover" he said. "There's no way you can drive around in this weather in that car." Nodding at our car. It was a Honda Civic. I thought it was perfectly fine but of course everyone else, including Rose, thought we should have a better car. "Thanks for the advice!" I said back to him. I turn around and see Rose struggling to keep up with me. When she got to me I told her the news. "Well Roza, looks like we're going to have to find somewhere to stay the night."
She looked up at me with her cheeks red from the cold. "Like a hotel?" she asked. Now it seemed like her blush was more of embarrassment from her thoughts. I smiled at her. I had a feeling we were thinking the same thing. 'No Dimitri. Snap out of those thoughts! She's your student!' I sighed. "Yeah, probably a motel though. We're on the academy's budget. Wait in the car. I have to call Alberta and tell her about our delay.
I called the Academy and spoke with Alberta. She just told me to stay safe and to take care of Rose. 'Always,' I thought. I would never let any harm come to my Roza. After I finished with Alberta on the phone, I turned around to see that Rose had disappeared. Had the snow gotten that tall already? I frantically looked around but I couldn't see her anywhere. Finally I looked down, I saw Rose lying in the snow, hair flailing and all. "Roza! What are you doing! You're going to get sick!"
She opened her beautiful eyes and looked at me. "Shhh! I'm making a angel." she giggled. I just shook my head from side to side. These were the times where I remembered that Roza was still young, still a child and that my infatuation with her was wrong. "Come on Roza we have to go." I say, stepping towards her.
"You should do one too." she says. "Leave your mark in Idaho." Now Rose was being ridiculous. A full grown adult wasn't about to play in the snow, though I wanted to do it just to make her happy. I stuck to my morals. "No Roza." I say firmly. "I don't need to get both of us sick." I extended my arm toward her to help her up. She ignored my arm and continued to lie in the snow. I bent down and picked her up. I expected her to fight me to stay in the snow, instead she clung to my body. I was shocked that she grabbed a hold of me so tightly. We were so close now her face on my chest. I tried to pry her off before I lost my self control. "Now you're getting me wet Roza." I say.
" You should have made one with me." I retorted, letting me go. I missed her touch. 'No stop.' I thought again. Distracting myself I stared at the food that Rose took out of her pocket. It looked pretty soaked. "Roza you got our food cold and wet too!" She looked at me with a smirk on her face." Its now a cold cut." said said dryly. I glanced at her silently shivering. I chuckled to myself. Oh Roza. "Come on. Let's get you in the car and warmed up." In the car I set the navigator to the nearest motel, and we set off again.
