RPOV (Sunday)

I woke up feeling amazing. Last night was one of the best nights of my life. I heard Dimitri's soft snores beside me, and when I looked over, I saw only his bare, muscled back. I couldn't stop looking. Memories of last night coming back to me.

Loving whispers. . . .Passionate kisses. . . .Gentle touches. . . .Making love.

I had to stifle a giggle, I didn't want to wake Dimitri. I slowly, and as quietly as I could, I got out of bed. I put my pj's back on and went to go take a shower. After my shower was done, I came back into Dimitri's bedroom, just to check on him, and he was still laying in his bed, those gorgeous brown eyes staring at the ceiling. I walked in and dropped on my knees next to the bed.

"Hey," I said. He looked at me and smiled, one that lit his whole face.

"Hey," he murmured. His smile turned into a pout. "You showered?"

I nodded and giggled. "Sorry. I didn't want to wake you."

The look of mock hurt on Dimitri's face made me giggle even harder. He looked adorable. Eventually his smile returned and shrugged the shower-issue off. He patted the empty side of his bed, but I shook my head.

"I don't think your mom would like it if she found her son having sex." I smirked at him, and he nodded, his face disappointed. "But that doesn't mean we can't spend the day together."

Dimitri looked at me, his gaze suspicious. "What are we doing today?" he asked.

I crossed my arms over my chest and smiled at him. "Shopping."

Dimitri's eyes widened and he let out a miserable groan. "Please, no."

"Why?" I asked. "I'm just getting a few things. We'll be in and out before you know it."

4 hours later. . . .

It was about four o'clock in the afternoon when Dimitri and I went to the mall. By the time we left it was a little after eight. Dimitri carried a majority of my things, while I tried to carry as much as I could. Dimitri was a little grumpy at the fact that we - I - went shopping for four hours, but I needed to get some stuff. A lot of stuff.

"I'm never going shopping with you," Dimitri grumbled. His eyes were narrowed into a glare. Dimitri's mom was nice enough to drive us back to his house.

"Oh, come on," I said, poking Dimitri's side playfully. "You liked it." Dimitri rolled his eyes.

"I'm surprised the stores you raided didn't go out of business." I poked his side, harder, and he jumped a little.

"You're such a baby," I teased. "I love shopping, that's all."

Dimitri looked at me, an eyebrow raised. "More than me?"

"Hmm. . . ." I said playfully. "I think I love shopping more."

An evil smirk came upon Dimitri's lips. I felt my heart pick up speed. His hands were instantly tickling my sides. I was squeaking and laughing uncontrollably.

"Say you love me more," Dimitri whispered in my ear. I shook my head. He tickled my even more, and I felt like I was going to burst. "Say it."

"O-okay! I-I love you m-more!" I cried. Dimitri stopped his tickling, and I gasped for breath. "Y-you're evil," I panted.

Dimitri chuckled. "Thank you."

That evening, after Dimitri's mom made a delicious Russian dinner, I went home. I gave Dimitri a very sweet goodnight kiss and Dimitri's mom gave me a motherly hug. If only my mom was like Dimitri's.

When I went home, I took another shower, and went to bed.

I'm sure I was asleep before my head hit the pillow.


QUICKY A/N: I'M SORRY FOR THE LAST CH. I RE-READ IT AND I DIDN'T LIKE IT VERY MUCH. . . .AND FOR THOSE WHO WERE WONDERING IF DIMITRI&ROSE HAD SEX, YES, THEY DID. I'M SORRY I DIDN'T WRITE IT, OR ANYTHING, IT'S JUST THE WORD "SEX" OR ANY WORD WITH THE SAME MEANING AS "SEX" TERRIFIES ME. SO, I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT CH. I HOPE THIS ONE WAS BETTER.

YOURS TRULY,
