Chapter 10: Missed Calls

Rose POV

Dimitri pulled his fingers out of me and I rolled off of him onto the bed. I just lay on my back trying to settle my breathing. Dimitri gently kissed me on the head and said, "I love you Roza". I didn't respond, I couldn't respond, I was still processing the pleasure I felt just a couple of moments ago. 'Wow.' I thought to myself. So this is what I've been missing out on all these years. I was still on a high, just thinking about what we did made me horny.

Soon I was soaked again from thinking about his touch. I laid back and breathed hard into my pillows. I noticed had Dimitri gotten up and went to the bathroom. I sat up and noticed I was a mess, I needed to clean up myself. Hearing the shower running, I walked on to the shower and looked at him as he was getting in. "Do you mind if I join?" I asked sheepishly.

Dimitri just stared at me. I wasn't planning on doing anything in the shower per say, I just wanted to spend more time with him before we had to go back, and I really did need to clean myself up. Finally Dimitri spoke, "I don't know if that's such a good idea Roza."

I crossed my arms over my chest. I felt my smile fade. "Oh. That's fine. Take your time, don't worry about me I'll just get dressed." I backed up and walked back in the bedroom. I almost felt sick. I didn't know how things were going to be between us now. I was worrying too much. My mood was now gone, I was almost all dried up. I took a smaller towel and wet it in the sink so I could wipe myself up. His cum was still dried on my throat and chest. After I finished cleaning up, I couldn't get dressed fast enough. I didn't want to make this any harder for either of us, especially Dimitri because clearly, he was having issues.

I finished getting dressed and put my hoodie on. Now that we weren't sharing body heat I could feel the cold more than ever. I remembered that the heating system was never fixed. I sat on the bed with my bed with my suitcase packed. I didn't understand why Dimitri didn't want me to join him. It seemed strange to me. He had just had his hands on me. Did that not matter? Was he worried we were getting carried away? We didn't have to do anything in the shower if that's what he thought. It seemed like he always assumed something like that would happen.

I shifted my hips. The discomfort I felt now made me both weird and empowered. He had really worked me out in new areas that I've never used before. I heard the bathroom door creak open, I guess Dimitri was done with his shower. From the corner of my eye I saw him trying to sneak past me towards his bag. Things were awkward between us and I didn't know how to deal with them. I just wanted us to be the way we were last night when he was holding me. "So...that happened." I said quietly, looking up at Dimitri. Maybe talking about it would help.

"What happened Roza?" I glared at him annoyingly. Did what we did mean nothing to him? Was I just another girl that he would tell the next person he was with. I motioned to the bed with my hand and stood up. "That ." I told him and looked at him. " And now...we go back to how things were. How do we do that?" I didn't know if I could pretend not to love Dimitri any more. I wanted to have a normal relationship with him. One where we could go on dates, and kiss in public and hold hands.

Dimitri abandoned his things by his bag kneeling in front of me so that our faces were level with each other. "Oh Roza." he said, staring into my eyes, "I wish we didn't have to hide and go back to the way things are, but we have to wait until graduation." Dimitri's reasoning was sound. In order to protect our reputations and jobs, and in Dimitri's case, his life, we had to keep quiet. No matter how much I hated it.

I was still worried though. What if he found someone else while we couldn't be together. Someone who was much better for him, like Tasha. I looked at him and frowned. "That's a lot of time for you to get over me." I whispered to him, voicing my fears. I didn't mean to, but it just came out. I was more thinking to myself than to others. Dimitri looked at my face and then kissed my hands. "I will never leave you Roza." he said, I looked down towards our hands. I was scared that if I looked at him I would start to cry again. "Look at me Rose. Look at me." Dimitri commanded. I looked up, I couldn't refuse a direct order, Dimitri was still my mentor no matter what we did. Tears started to fill my eyes. I tried to blink them back hard but I couldn't seem to stop them from falling down my face.

Suddenly I choked out, "You promise? If you do I'll wait. I won't tease, or make things hard for you. I'll wait." I was willing to do anything for Dimitri. I loved him so much. "I promise you Roza, nothing in this world will ever make me leave you willingly. I promise." he said. I hoped he was telling the truth. I didn't know what I would do without him. I gave up on holding back my tears. I hooked my arms around his neck, crying into his shoulder. "I promise too." I whispered into his ear as his hair ruffled in my face.

I hugged him for a long while. I didn't want to let Dimitri go, when I finally did, he kissed my forehead, saying, "I love you," before returning to the bathroom. I felt a little better after talking this out. I knew for the next few months we would have to keep our distance and try not to think about things like this though. I tried to occupy myself by cleaning up the room. I put picked up the blankets and put them back on the bed. I was about to pick up all the pillows when Dimitri came out of the bathroom, "Roza, I'm going to check the road conditions downstairs," he called, I didn't say a word as he walked out the door.

After he left, I got all the extra pillows and put them into the closet. Then I tried to make the bed semi-presentable, but I knew the maid staff would fix it later. I finished packing up my things and looked out the window. The roads seemed clear to me, but what did I know, I mocked myself. Inside, I hoped that the roads were still closed. I would love to spend more time with Dimitri. Knowing my luck, they've been open for a while, and we probably had plenty of sun left to drive to the moroi's house, so no more overnight stays together.

I puttered around the room, making sure that I didn't forget anything. We would probably never see this motel ever again, and I didn't want to leave behind anything important. When I finished with that Dimitri still hadn't returned. I set myself to packing up his bag, I'm sure he wouldn't mind. I was packing his toothbrush, the last thing, when he reentered the room. I looked at him with a smirk and placed my hands on my hips. "All packed Comrade. Did you get yelled at?" I asked with a grin.

"No, I blamed it on you. Said you ran away again." Dimitri replied while picking up our bags. He never let me carry anything, I knew that Dimitri would never stop being a perfect gentleman, even if he was dead beat tired. "You get horny and I get blamed. That doesn't seem fair comrade." I teased. Of course Dimitri would have used me as an excuse, but I didn't mind. As long as neither of us were in any real trouble, because if the academy ever found out what we were doing this morning, I had a feeling that we would have a lot of explaining to do.

Dimitri POV

"I love you Roza" I say, kissing her again. I got up, making a move to take a very cold shower. I looked down and noticed that I had to fix my own problem again. I couldn't let Roza do it again. I walked to the bathroom, not bothering to lock the door and stripped my clothes off. They smelled like sex. I set the shower onto its coldest temperature and was about to step in when I heard Rose speak. "Do you mind if I join?" she asked, blushing that pretty rosy color.

I just stared at her, looking up and down her naked body. As much as I wanted her to take me again, I needed to fix my own problems. Rose was so sweet and so amazing, but we went far enough today. I didn't know how I was going to keep my hands off her at the academy. "I don't know if that's such a good idea Roza." I say hesitantly. I didn't want to completely deny her because I didn't want to hurt her feelings. Although looking dejected, Rose seemed to get the message and walked out of the bathroom.

I stared at her as she left. Jumping in the shower I felt the freezing cold water hit my back all at once and it was refreshing. I took my hand and started pumping up and down my length. I closed my eyes imagining that it was Roza doing this and I moaned. In my head, Rose was on her knees again, nibbling away at my tip. Finally I couldn't take it anymore and I gripped her head and slowly fed her my penis through her open lips. She sucked and sucked while rubbing and squeezing the top. I was so ready to come. With a scratch of my nails I moaned. I came in my hands. I opened my eyes and watched my sperm wash down the drain. Finally I was relaxed. Finishing up my shower I realized that I left my clothes in the bedroom. I wasn't about to go out there naked. Finding a towel, I dried myself off and wrapped it around my waist. Peeking my head out of the bathroom, I saw that Roza seemed preoccupied on the bed. I tried to sneak past her to my bag.

I was gathering my things when I heard her speak. "So...that happened." she said quietly. I looked up from my suitcase. Rose was still staring off into the distance, but I guess she finally noticed my presence in the room. "What happened Roza?" I was genuinely confused. The way I saw it was that I just spent an amazing morning with the woman I love, there was nothing else to it.

Rose stood up and pointed to the bed. "That ." she said looking at me now. " And now...we go back to how things were. How do we do that?" he voiced cracked a little. "Oh Roza." I kneeled down and grabbed ahold of her hands. "I wish we didn't have to hide and go back to the way things are, but we have to wait until graduation." I wanted to show the world she was mine too, but even if we were in the human world there was still our age difference. I would have to wait until Rose was 18 at the very least. We had less than a month until she became legal. We could wait.

She frowned, but didn't say anything. I got up and got on with my business. Then I heard her whisper. "That's a lot of time for you to get over me.". I saw tears filling her eyes. No no no, I didn't want her to cry again. "I will never leave you Roza." I said as I turned around, returning to my crouch in front of her. "Look at me Rose. Look at me." I took my hand and gripped her chin. I knew she didn't want me to see her cry but the tears were already running down her face.

"You promise?" she asked. "If you do I'll wait. I won't tease, or make things hard for you. I'll wait." She looked so scared. Have I really given her reason to believe that I'd leave her? 'Tasha's offer,' the voice in the back of my head whispered to me. Oh yeah, that. "I promise you Roza, nothing in this world will ever make me leave you willingly. I promise." I wouldn't give Rose up for the world. She was my life, my light, I'd be foolish to let her go. Anyone who could get Rose was a lucky man.

She hugged me tight after I responded and it seemed like she'd never let me go. She cried into my shoulder, I gently rubbed her back, trying to comfort her. When she finally did let go, I gave her a quick kiss on her forehead. "I love you." I whispered, before retreating back into the bathroom to put my clothes on.

I got dressed quickly and packed the majority of my things. I stepped out of the bathroom and found Rose flitting around the room cleaning. "Roza, I'm going to check the road conditions downstairs." I tell her before I leave. She doesn't respond. I grabbed my phone and the room key, and then walked down stairs to the front desk. I checked my phone: 4 missed calls and 3 messages. I was going to be in some trouble.

I walked into the lobby and found that the desk person must have been switched. It was now a young woman who seemed to be filing her nails and on the phone. I walked towards the desk and she looked at me and dropped her file and phone very suddenly. "Hmmm. Someone had a good time last night." I heard her mutter under her breath with my dhampir hearing. Did I look that good? I never had that many girls chasing after me in Russia. I walked up to the desk, holding the key. "Just get married?" the receptionist asked examining me.

"Oh no. Just a getaway..." I lied. The receptionist kept staring at me weirdly. It made me feel uncomfortable. "Do you know if they've cleared the roads yet mam?" I asked quickly, getting to the point. We were way behind schedule and I would have to drive non-stop if we were going to get to the moroi by nightfall.

"Oh yeah. It's safe out there now." she said with a yawn. "Just take your time and you'll be fine." I'm glad it was clear. We really needed to get on the road. "Alright thanks." I told her, quickly. I felt like I needed to get away from her, her gaze was too intense for someone who did not know you. Now that I knew the road conditions, I had to listen to the messages. I had a feeling that Alberta was not happy with me at all right now.

The first message: "Belikov! Why haven't you called me? Are you on the road yet? Please check in when you get this."

The second message: "Belikov! Where the hell are you!? It's very unlike you to not answer your phone. Call me the moment you see this."

The final message:

"Belikov I assume that since you haven't been picking up your phone that you and Rose are in trouble. I'm sending some back up to help you guys out. Hold tight."

Fuck. I didn't mean to make Alberta anger or worried. I checked the time stamp on the last message. 5 minutes, okay maybe the guardians haven't left yet. I gave Alberta a call right away. "Belikov!" Alberta responded. "Thank god you're okay. We were worried that you and Rose got into an accident when you didn't answer your phone."

I didn't mean to worry the academy. I needed to come up with a good excuse and fast, especially because she already called me and scolded me for our late morning. I had plenty of time I have make up for, "I'm so very sorry Alberta. Rose and I got into a fight and she ran off, I had to find her before I called you." I said, trying to excuse our actions. It was much better for Rose to run off than to tell her we were messing around in bed.

"That sounds like Rose. Are you ready to go now?" Alberta said. I laughed awkwardly. "Yes, we're about to leave. They say the roads have been cleared so we should be there by nightfall." I told her. I wanted to end this call and get back to my Roza.

"Good." Alberta said, "I'll call the moroi and let them know of your plans. Good luck with Rose, Belikov." she said sincerely. All the guardians seemed to have a problem with Rose, but I never saw her disobedience other than a few minor rules and her temper. Nothing that we didn't do as teenages. "Thank you Guardian Petrov." I said to her. "I'll let you know if we run into any more problems." I hung up the phone and sighed in relief. Thank god she bought my excuse. I hurried back up to the room to see Rose. We had to leave now.

Once I returned to the room, our bags were packed and Rose stood up to greet me. "Did you get trouble?" she asked smirking at me. She wanted to play it that way then. I'm glad my excuse focused on Rose. "No, I blamed it on you. Said you ran away again." I said picking up our bags, heading out to the car. "You get horny and I get blamed. That doesn't seem fair comrade." she said dryly. Oh Rose. It was better than the alternative and she knew it.

A/N- Okay so this is the edited version. I really wanted to post yesterday but I had a pencil crisis so I started writing pretty late and I was half asleep. I hope this is a lot better. Next one's the last chapter guys :'(

Ciao!
