After dinner I went to my room to take a hot shower. I got dressed in my black sleeper shorts and white tank top. I brushed my hair and decided to blow dry it.
I walked over to my window and sat on the ledge. Looking out at the stars I wondered if Mason was in a better place. I wish there was a way to somehow let him know that I still think about him.
That's when I got the idea of the church . I've never really went to church, except when I went with Liza. Though I was sure this is just what I needed to do.
I grabbed my black zip up hoodie and put it on. Since it was drizzling outside I put my hood on when I opened the dorm doors to head to the church. When I got to the church doors I stood there for a moment taking in a deep breath and with that I opened the doors and walked in. I slowly took my hood off as I entered.
It felt very peaceful in here. Now I know why Dimitri told me he would come here sometimes to seek peace. There was a guardian sitting in the front row with her head down praying. I sat down in the 4th row and looked up at the candles burning .
I sat there thinking of that night that my whole world changed. How stupid I was for telling Mason what Dimitri had told me. It should have been me instead of Mason.
The guardian in front of me stood up and left. I closed my eyes, enjoying the silence when I felt a presence standing beside me
" May I" I opened my eyes to see Dimitri standing next to me. I didn't even look up at him instead I just nodded my head slightly .
We sat there in silence for a little while when he decided to break it.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
I just kept looking up at the candles. I didn't want Dimitri to see me vulnerable. I knew if I looked into his eyes that I was going to loose it.
Then he did something that shocked the hell out of me. He touched my chin with his finger making me look at him. His face had an expression that I have never seen before. I looked into his eyes and thought I saw a glimpse of something? What was it?
" Dimitri "was all I could say
He then wrapped his arm around my shoulder and held me in his embrace.
We stayed like that in silence for a few minutes. I then snapped back to reality what was I doing? He's probably going to be leaving with Tasha soon. He doesn't need to hear my problems, and probably doesn't care. He probably just feels sorry for me or something. I can handle this myself. I stood up and looked at him with tears filling my eyes.
"Thanks, I got to go, curfew" I said and then walked to the doors. Since it was still drizzling, I put my hood back on.
As I was walking back to my dorm I was thinking about Dimitri. I wonder if he is taking Tasha's offer. If he took Tasha's offer that means he doesn't care about me like I thought he did.
I reached the doors to my dorm.
" Roza"
That name stopped me dead in my tracks. I haven't heard that name in a long time .I stood there not able to turn myself around. Dang him, how come he keeps doing this to me.
I heard him walking closer towards me. My heart felt like it was going to explode right out of my chest. I felt him breathing right in my ear.
"Roza look at me"
I turned around slowly, tears running down my face but I really didn't care. All I knew is that the love of my life was standing inches from me looking in my eyes.
" Talk to me Roza" was all he said
I couldn't take it anymore. I hugged him as tight as I could. He wrapped his arms around me . Tears were just falling down my cheeks. It felt like everything I had built up inside of me was coming out right at that second.
I finally got my crying under control a few minutes later . We just stood there in the rain (still hugging, might I add).
"Come on, let's get out of the rain" He said rubbing my back. I just nodded and started to go to the dorm doors when I noticed he was walking the opposite direction.
Where was he going?
I turned and started following him. He led us to the cabin that Tasha stayed in. We walked in and Dimitri excused himself and walked in the other room to use his phone. Probably to let Alberta know that I was with him and not trying to escape since it was after curfew.
I took my wet sweater off and threw it on the couch. I then stood there looking around. It still looked the same as when Tasha was here. Well maybe a little dustier.
Dimitri came back in the room and pulled out two chairs from the table and put them in front of each other. " Here, sit" He said taking his duster off and hanging it up on the hooks by the door to some what dry. Whoops I thought to myself.
I sat down on the chair and Dimitri sat across from me. I was looking down at my hands nervously when I could feel him staring at me. I lifted my head up. My heart fluttered as I looked into gorgeous brown eyes.
This was going to be a long night.
