CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
More To Analyse
Dimitri's face became hard and I could see it hurt him. That's all he had to do for me to know that's what happened.
"Oh, Dimitri." I said as I practically pulled him into a hug. Dimitri didn't hug me back through, he just stiffened in his place.
I slowly moved out of the hold I had him in and said, "You don't need to explain anything now. I got what I needed from research, but if you need to talk... well, I'll always be here for you."
"Rose, my father was a very, very bad man." His eyes pierced my own.
I nodded my head, "How did you're family not know?"
"I was the only one who..."
"It's okay, I know what you're saying. Why you though? Wouldn't he want to go for... girls."
Dimitri looked at the floor and said, "I believe it was more of a dominance thing for him. He thought, if he could control me, the only other male in the family, then he can control us all."
I sat there staring at him. How could someone be so cruel. Not only did he sexually abuse Dimitri, which is going to scar him for life. He ruined any possible chances of his son living a happy life for his own amusement.
"That's why you can't go any further with me. Remember what happened?" he nodded but kept looking towards are the floor. "I also read that you can isolate yourself from others, and feel loneliness. It all makes sense now. You don't go socialising with the other guardians when it is not necessary." He nodded once more. "I don't know how you were able to keep it to yourself for so long. It must have been so, so hard."
"It was. It is. I was eight," he said barely moving a muscle.
I gulped, "How long..." I trailed off, but he knew what I was asking.
"It lasted between two to three years. I didn't think much of it at first. I knew it was bad but he always let us know that he was the boss. I thought that's what I was meant to do, and that he did it to... the others as well." He paused but continued on, "As I grew older I realised what was happening and I started to fight back. I was strong but not strong enough, he would win, and I would have bruises all over my body. My family thought it was from training at school."
I held his hand in mine and said, "I'm listening."
"I pushed myself harder in school; came back early one day and saw with my own eyes my mother getting beaten. So I lost it and bashed him; with my newly gained strength, it surprised him. He didn't continue to come back." He looked up at me, "You know the rest of the story."
"Yeah, I'm so proud of you," I squeezed his hand to let him know.
"I wouldn't let myself get close to anyone again. Apart from my family, they are everything to me. I didn't socialise with anyone at school, I studied really hard and worked overtime on my body. I wanted to do something great in this world, and I thought doing what I did I would make up for what was happening with me with – the sexual abuse. I was in my junior year when I met Lady Natasha Ozera."
He said her name so formally. This was the moment I was waiting for; how Tasha got to be in Dimitri's life and how she was his close friend.
"She had to discuss a matter with one of my teachers and she noticed my dedication as I fought. That's what we had in common at the time, because she, as you know, teaches martial arts. As she got to know me more, she saw that I wasn't my full self, that something in me was missing. Over time, she worked it out."
I flinched and closed my eyes. I knew how selfish I was being right now, because Dimitri is finally opening up to me and I'm sulking over Tasha. But I didn't want her to know, I wanted it to just be for me and Dimitri.
Dimitri noticed my distress and said, "Rose, I never told her, she just put the pieces together using what she saw and already knew. She doesn't know what the problem is; it hasn't been confirmed from me. She just knew I was a mess." I nodded for his to keep explaining.
He kept looking at me until he was satisfied that I believed him. "She became as good friend of mine and she introduced me to some of her friends. I did get to know them to some extent but I was still distant. I didn't think that I would be able to be in a relationship with a female, but the more I was with her every day the more my feelings grew."
I silenced him, "Dimitri, I think that's enough. You have opened up so much today; maybe it's best to give it a break." My advice for him was true, but I honestly didn't want to hear about him and Tasha.
"Rose," he brushed my cheek with his finger tips so softly. "I need you to hear this." I took deep breaths and nodded.
"When she was close to me, I would freak out because all I see is flashes of images coming together from the bad times. I finally let her kiss me, but I didn't feel anything there for me. So I told her, and than I honestly thought I would never be able to be with anyone again because of what I experienced."
"She came back for you," I managed to squeak out.
"She came back for Christian. Than she gave me the offer."
"She's wanted you for so long. I can see why."
"We are good friends, Rose. I made that clear with her when I declined her offer, for you."
The hand where my hand was placed went up to his mouth, where he kissed each of my fingers and continued his story.
"When I found you and brought you back, I was still dealing with my illness. I still am, but at that stage I was very guarded in everything I did, hence Lord Zeklos's death. You reminded me of myself when I was little, and you're attitude was awful." I rolled my eyes at him. "But you made me feel different when I was with you. You made me: laugh, care, and feel happy. I realised that I could be with someone and love them.
I opened my mouth in shock, in remembering the way he acted towards me and the words he said.
"Is that why you said it would be taking advantage of me?" I asked.
"That is one reason, yes. I didn't want to make you feel the same way as I did."
"I appreciate you looking at for me Dimitri, but I wanted you just as much, and I still do."
"I know, and I want to be close to you, I want to be with you. It's just every time we get heated, I see pictures in my head and I get angry. It used to be worse around you, but now I seem to be able to get further with you without freaking out. I'm slowly making progress, Roza. I promise."
"I'll be waiting," I lent in and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "Thank you for letting me in more. I know it must be very hard on you."
"I do feel a little lighter now, knowing I can share my feelings with you," he leaned in and rubbed our noses together.
Dimitri's phone ringing broke us out of our moment, and he pulled his phone out of his pocket. He looked at the number and pressed decline again. What was up with that?
"Why do you keep not answering?"
"It's not important, Roza."
"As in it's not important for you to go back on duty either," I said with an innocent face.
"Unfortunately, that's something I don't control. I'll see you tomorrow morning for practice," he said in guardian mode.
"Yep." I stood up to kiss him and he kissed me back. I tried to put more affection into the kiss but he pulled away and caressed my cheek before leaving to go on his patrol duty, which left me in his room... alone. I took one last look around his room and left to go get a snack at the cafeteria.
As I was walking in I saw Lucia Lombardi sitting alone at one of the end tables. I had forgotten about the incident with her and Ralf about a week ago. I grabbed a juice and a packet of chips before walking over to her.
"Hey, do you mind if I sit with you?"
She looked up almost scared that I would bash her or something, and said ever so softly, "Um... sure."
"I'm Rose Hathaway," I said while sipping a mouthful of juice.
"I know." Of course she knows. Everyone around here seems to know who I am. "I'm Lucia Lombardi; I transferred here not too long ago with my brother, Bruno Lombardi.
"I think I know him, his in one of my classes with Lissa."
She nodded and asked, "Is that the Princess you are bonded to?"
"I sure am. You should meet her; she would be pleased to meet you."
She blushed and lowered her head. Poor girl was defiantly shy. Ralf hassling her probably didn't help her self esteem.
"I saw you the other day talking to Ralf Sarcozy and Jesse Zeklos. They your mates?"
"Um, yeah. They showed me around the academy when I first came."
"Couldn't someone your own age show you?" It came out hasher than what I wanted it to sound.
"I don't – have many friends here," she said so softly, not meeting my eyes.
"I didn't mean to sound so rude. I'm just giving you some advice though, Ralf and Jesse are trouble, just be careful."
"It's alright; I just miss my friends in Italy. I didn't realise it would be so hard to make friends here. My brother found friends straight away..."
"Well, if you ever need help with something, or someone to hang out with, don't be afraid to talk to me."
She looked up from the table and whispered, "Thanks."
Two hands came around to cover my eyes, and at the same time I smelt cloves and alcohol. His hands were relatively warm and soft.
"Adrian, I know it's you."
"How could you tell it was me, little Dhampir?" He snickered, and took a seat beside me.
"The cigarette and alcohol smell had nothing to do with it," I sarcastically replied.
"I'm glad you can feel my presence."
I rolled my eyes at him and looked back at Lucia; she looked shocked that Adrian would even sit at the same table as her. Adrian looked up towards her and she quickly looked away.
"Why, isn't it Lucia Lombardi?" Adrian held out his hand.
She looked at him, eyes wide, and quickly nodded her head. I tried to hold in my laughter.
"I don't think I've ever met you before, however I have met you're beautiful mother. I see you are a perfect replica of her."
Lucia bit her lip, and looked down at the table while she blushed a bright red.
"Cat got your tongue, Lucia?" Adrian teased.
I turned around to give Adrian a glare, stomping on his foot and hitting his head with my hand respectively. I turned back to look at Lucia, and felt sorry for her humiliation.
"I'm sorry Lucia; sometimes Adrian thinks he is better than everyone else. Oh, sorry. Did I say sometimes? I mean all the time," I tried to enlighten her mood.
She looked up at me and smiled a small smile. "I'm sorry; I don't adjust well with new people. I tend to be quiet until I know them well."
"No need to worry, Rose here will get you talking in no time. All you have to do is hang around her, you'll learn real quickly," he smirked.
"Hey, that's not funny Ivashkov," I said shaking my head.
"It's Lord Ivashkov to you now," he laughed while pulling on his shirt, to make him look cool.
I pulled up my juice and squeezed the container tight, so the juice would squirt out and land on Adrian. As I hoped for it did, and he stopped laughing immediately, only for me to begin laughing at his face. Mission accomplished. Adrian grabbed some of my potato chips and crunched them up in my hair. He was now laughing hysterically at my annoyed face. I squirted more juice at him and we both kept laughing. The laughter must have caught on, because now Lucia as laughing as well.
We finally calmed down, but I still had a stitch from laughing so hard. It felt good to see Lucia with a pleasant smile on her face
We sat at the table, talking for about another half hour, about anything and everything. She asked me questions about Lissa and I and how the bond worked. Also, about Christian and how he used offensive magic to fight the Strigoi back in Spokane. She wanted to know about Eddie, and how privileged I am to have a guardian like Dimitri to train me. She didn't need to convince me too much, because I knew how lucky I was. She also asked about Adrian and my relationship, which was a tough one to answer, but Adrian explain how he felt about me and I told her that everyone at school thought I was going out with him anyway.
"Well, my two beautiful ladies, I shall be off. I need to have a shower and clean up," Adrian dragged his eyes over to me. "Thanks to someone."
I giggled and said, "Oh Adrian, you look stunning, like you always do."
Arian bent down and whispered in my ear, "Glad you think so." He walked over Lucia and gave her a bow before saying goodbye.
"He is a player, but a funny one I must add," I chuckled.
"He seems quite nice," as Lucia said this, she flushed a bright red on her cheeks.
"Well, sorry to leave you as well, but I better get cleaned up before someone tells me too."
"Yeah, I got to get back to class."
"It was nice to meet you, Lucia." Lucia waved goodbye and headed off to class while I headed to my dorm.
I cleaned up my hair and decided to do more research on the computer. Instead of finding out more information on Dimitri's illness, I googled how to cure him. I wanted to help him get over his flashbacks and go all the way with me.
I found a lot of sites which explained what to do before going into sexual intercourse. I wrote down a list of what to try out and hid it under my mattress.
I heard the sound of someone knocking on my door, so I opened it to see the hall matron.
"You have mail," the matron said.
"Who is it from?"
"Why don't you open it and find out," she said snarkily, while walking off.
I stuck my tongue out at her back as she walked off. Closing the door, I sat on my desk and stared at the envelope.
Last time I received a letter, it was from Victor, and nothing turned out well. This time though, it wasn't enclosed in a lavish envelope with fantasy writing. It was just a plain white envelope with my name printed on. That still doesn't relax me one bit though, there is still every chance that it could be from him.
I stared at the envelope for a while longer, and looked over to the gold bracelet. Victor left it for me for something, but I can't quite work out what it was. Maybe the envelope has something about it in it. It is my birthday today, after all. He shouldn't remember such things, but there I go again with assuming the least with Victor; he was proven many times to be sly and cunning.
I ripped open the envelope, and a small piece of paper typed up from the computer fell out.
Rose,
Would you do me the honour of spending tonight with me?
I know a nice place we can go and enjoy ourselves.
I'll come and pick you up from your door at 6:00 tonight.
There is a surprise for you in the top drawer of your dresser.
Love, me
I throw the note and it landed somewhere on the floor of my room. I ran to the other side of my room and opened the top draw of my dresser. In the dresser was a beautiful purple metallic dress. I screamed with joy and placed the dress up to my neck to look at it in the mirror and see what it would look like. It stops half way down my thighs. I opened my eyes wide in shock and thought of who would buy me such a dress.
The first person who came to my mind was Lissa, but she wasn't on speaking terms with me at the moment. The second and last person who came to my mind was Dimitri, and if it was him, then he had great taste in dresses. Also Dimitri had a key to my room and easier if he sneaked in and placed the dress when I wasn't here earlier. The note did say, 'do the honour of spending the night with me,' so it must be Dimitri.
I jumped with joy, and started to look through all my jewellery, make-up, and shoes to compliment my dress.
I only had just less than two hours to get ready, so I hopped in the shower. I washed my hair with a shampoo and conditioner that smelt like apples. I shaved my legs, and made sure every inch on my skin when smooth to touch and feel. After being satisfied with the long hot shower I slipped out into my fluffy robe, with my hair wrapped up in a towel.
I moisturised my body and face, which had the smell of star fruit. I applied liquid foundation to my face, before slowly brushing on the powder foundation, to have a smooth complexion. I decided next to apply my eye-shadow. I put a dark layer of purple on my eyelid before applying a light purple around my eye, for a smoky look. I then applied liquid eye liner to draw out my eyes. I folded a tissue in half and carefully placed in under my eyes lashes, while closing one eye. Taking turns with each eye, I added black mascara. Now down to my lips. I have a choice between light pink, dark pink, or clear lip-gloss. In the end I choose the light pink.
I took the towel off my hair, and dried it before putting it into place. Because my hair was wet, it wasn't as straight as it normal is. For once I liked it, because it went well with my dress. I sprayed hair spray on my hair, to give it a soft wave, and only straightened my fringe.
I took my robe off and put on an Elsa Floral lace bra and underwear set. It was also purple with cute little bows. It looked quite nice and I hoped Dimitri would like it on me as well. I quickly looked at the time on my bedside table: half an hour left. I carefully slipped the dress on my body and awkwardly pulled up the zip that was on the back of the dress. The dress looked amazing. It was satin and clung around my body showing my curves; it had thin straps and was tight around the burst area. As mentioned before, it also stopped half way down my thigh.
I sat down and put on my black pumps and went to the bathroom. I heard knocking on my door and my heart raced because I was going to be see Dimitri. I smiled to myself opened the door and stood there, looking at...
"Little Dhampir," Adrian greeted me, while looking up and down my whole body.
"Adrian," I said a little less enthusiastic.
"You look – gorgeous."
"You don't scrub are to bad either."
Oh my god – I can't believe it was Adrian who sent me the note. What the hell did I get myself into? I hope Dimitri wouldn't be mad at me for spending the night with Adrian. It's not like I can back out on him now.
Adrian walked me through the quads, past the gym and stopped at a building just outside the academy. It was rarely used these days, only when offensive magic was allowed. I stared at the building wondering what the hell Adrian was doing, bringing me here for our "special night"', but Adrian grabbed a blind fold from under the mat and placed it over my eyes.
"Adrian, I don't like this idea," I hissed.
"Trust me, you will enjoy it."
"Trust is something you earn," I mentally slapped myself when I said that.
"What have I done to break your trust?" He asked and for once sounded hurt.
"Nothing. I'm just irritated by this blind fold, so hurry up so I can take it off."
He grabbed my hand and I heard the door being open. He led me forward. Different smells assaulted my sense: sausage rolls, party pies, alcohol.
"We are here, Rose."
I pulled the blindfold off and was greeted with a "HAPPY EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY!" There was Lissa, Christian, Eddie, Mum, Alberta, Carly, Lucia, Meredith, Shane, Bruno, Todd, Emil, of course Adrian and in the far left corner – Dimitri.
"Oh my god! I can't thank you all enough!" I yelled with excitement.
I looked around the room and it was wonderfully done up. There was a big white banner and written in glitter was 'Happy 18th Birthday Rose'. There are streamers hanging everywhere as well as balloons. A table with delicious looking foods and drinks. A table with presents, and another table with a fancy looking cake. Over in the other side of the room, was a projector facing the wall and a little dance area.
Lissa came running up to me and wrapped her arms around my neck, her emotions were all over the place.
"I'm so sorry for the way I've been acting, Rose." she half cried.
"It's alright Liss, you had all the reason," I said while patting her back.
"I was disappointed that you didn't tell me, but that's not why I wouldn't speak to you." I looked at her with a confused face and she explained. "We had planned this surprise party, and I was trying so hard to not let you find out earlier, and I realised by not being near you it was easier to hide. So I-"
"So you pretended to stay mad at me, to make it actually a surprise," I finished for her.
She nodded and hugged me again, "I hope it was worth the surprise."
"It was. It is. It's amazing... did you do all this yourself?"
"I planned it and asked to put it together, but everyone chipped in."
"It's perfect, I couldn't have imagined it better. Actually I didn't consider it possible. I thought no one remembered my birthday, apart from Eddie."
Lissa giggled, "I couldn't handle you thinking that, so I told Eddie not to worry about pretending to forget. It made it look more real if at least someone remembered, and I didn't want you sad."
"Ah, Liss, you defiantly surprised me this time."
"Excuse me, Princess."
I looked up to see mum standing in front of me.
"Mum, I didn't expect you to be here."
"Give me some credit, Rose. I may be a tough mother, but I wouldn't dream of missing your eighteenth birthday."
"But... what about your charge?" I asked suddenly.
"Another guardian is watching over him for the time being. Even though I was here last week, I was unable to speak to you. It's hard to get a hold of you, Rosemarie."
"Yes, it has been a hectic week," I sighed. I briefly remembered seeing mum at my hearing test, but with everything going on – I forgot she was here.
"You look stunning," she said rather passively.
I remembered the night of the Royal dinner where she got aggressive with the way I was dressed while speaking to Adrian. At least that night, I wore a dress which was long and covered my body, whereas tonight it's short and defiantly shows off my curves. Mum was looking at me intensely when I didn't say anything because I was thinking back to that night. I felt a strange feeling come over me, and I unexpectedly pushed myself into her and wrapped my arms around her shoulders. She was stiff to began with, but relaxed a little bit and rubbed my back.
I turned around to face Christian and Eddie; Christian still looked very pale and Eddie had a huge grin on his face.
"I knew they wouldn't forget your birthday," Eddie winked.
"Rose Hathaway thought she had no friends? I wish I was there to see her face," Christian teased.
I poked my tongue out at him and he punched my arm before making his way over to where Lissa was talking to one of the guardian on duty – Emil.
"I'm happy this was a great surprise for you, Rose – you deserve it," Eddie said while slipping his arm over my shoulder.
"I'll get you back when it's your birthday. You can count on that," I said slapping his chest.
"Happy Birthday Rose." Carly said as she came towards me and kissed my cheek.
It was so, so out of character for her to do so, especially to a Dhampir. Does Eddie have something to do with this? I hope so, because I didn't like the stuck up Carly who hung out with Camille Conta.
"It's good to see you Carly," I so badly lied. Carly gave Eddie a look and he became a little uncomfortable. My guess is that she wanted to spend time with him, so I abruptly said, "I see you two have much to catch up on. If you need me, I'll be over by the food table." I had a big smile on my face from thinking about the food.
Eddie bent down and whispered beside my ear, "We are on a date."
I gave him a quick wink for only him to see and headed off to the food table.
"I'm glad I got to see you grow up Rose."
I grabbed a mini meat pie and saw Alberta standing across from the table.
"I bet I didn't surprise you one bit with the way I grew up," I snickered.
"Actually, no you didn't," she answered with her guardian mask on her face.
I looked down and frowned.
"Because I knew you would turn out to be the person you are today." I looked up at her surprised. "You always had potential, Rose. Even though you have had mistakes – we all have, but you have learnt from them. You are not only a Novice in the training to be a guardian, you are a friend to many, and best friend and sister to the last Dragomir; someone who others turn to when in the need and an inspiration to many. You will be an exceptional guardian when you graduate – there is no doubt about it."
I felt like I was going to cry. Not only had Alberta been proud of me, but she spoke to me like a friend. Someone who I could always go back to if in doubt or trouble. I smiled at her and apologised to her for all the trouble I had given her over the years.
I started to jump up and down when I heard the song 'move, shake, drop' by 'Pitbull' being played from the sound system. It was one of my favourite songs at the moment, and it was great to dance to, not to mention the bass that it produced. I saw the crew apart from Dimitri, Alberta and Emil go to the middle of the dance floor. I turned the music up, so it was blasting in the room. I started to move to the beat with my feet, and took a quick look in Dimitri direction.
He was looking at me with no emotion in his face. Why did he have to be on duty? I want to be with him so bad. It's my birthday for crying out loud. I shook the feeling out of my head and joined the group to dance. All us girls were dancing with each other, rubbing and moving down to the ground. The guys were yelling and cheering and even trying to dance themselves.
When the chorus came all us girls started to dirty dance with the boys. Lissa was obviously all over Christian, Eddie was paired up with Carly, Lucia was dancing with Shane and Meredith was dancing with both Bruno and Todd. I on the other hand was dancing with Adrian, and boy, did he enjoy his time.
I wanna see you move move shake shake now drop (what your momma said)
My back was rubbing along Adrian chest and his hands were on my hips.
Move move shake shake now drop (what your daddy said)
I swayed my hips against Adrian personal stick and his mouth was so close to my neck, that I felt his breathing on me.
Move move shake shake now drop (what your sista said)
I turned around so I was now facing him and I saw lust in his eyes. My hands were around his neck and we were moving in sync. I looked beyond him and saw my Mother trying very hard to keep her cool and not spoil the party.
Move move shake shake now drop drop drop drop
I put my hands on Adrian chest and swayed all the way down to the floor and swayed up.
All the crew kept dancing for a few more songs, and I got the chance to dances with Lissa and Lucia. I took the chance to look over at Dimitri. He wasn't showing any emotion, but I could see in his eyes, that he was furious about my dirty dancing with Adrian. I would have to explain to him later that I was just having fun, and nothing was to come from it. However I would have to clarify that with Adrian, so he wouldn't get the wrong idea.
A slower song came on, and Shane had me in his hands. The song was called 'Accidently In Love'. Not even ten seconds into the song, a tall, handsome Russian tapped Shane on the arm.
"May I?" Dimitri asked, while looking at me.
With Shane dispatched, I was now in the arms of my lover.
she said what's the problem baby
What's the problem I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love love
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it
"This song is perfect, for us," I said.
"Could that explain why I requested it be placed on the disk?" He said with a sexy side smile.
I bit my lip while staring into his brown eyes, "I wish I could kiss you."
"I wish I could do a lot more with you."
I stared at him shocked he would say such thing. It was completely out of his character.
"I can't believe you said that," I said while shaking my head.
How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love
Come on, come on
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Cause everybody's after love
I was now resting my head against Dimitri's chest as he was taking the lead in the dancing.
"Dimitri," I whispered.
"Yes, Rose."
"What if someone gets suspicious of us dancing together?"
"Why would they do that? I'm just your mentor congratulating you on your birthday."
I put on my best seductive tone, "Is that all you are?"
"That's all I am," he said trying to make his face innocent.
"Hmm. I best get back to Adrian then," I teased while pulling away.
"Don't. You. Dare." He growled and held onto me tighter.
So I said I'm a snowball running
Running down into the spring that's coming all this love
Melting under blue skies
Belting out sunlight
Shimmering love
Well baby I surrender
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love
Dimitri let go of my hand and twirled me around before I was in his arms again.
"You look beautiful tonight," he murmured in my ear.
My heart started to beat faster. "I got given a beautiful dress. It was you, right?"
"You always look beautiful Roza, and yes and no. Lissa choose the dress but I agreed and put it in your room with a note."
I blushed and said, "I thought you forgot my birthday."
He pulled his face away so he could look at me straight in my eyes, "I would never forget it. It means a lot to you. It's a new step in life, for you to take."
"It's just with everything going on..."
He shook his head and we went back to dancing.
These lines of lightning
Mean we're never alone,
Never alone, no, no
Come on, Come on
Move a little closer
Come on, Come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, Come on
Settle down inside my love
I was in contentment dancing with Dimitri when I heard him quickly growl and try and pull me closer to him.
"Something you want to tell me?"
"Adrian is staring at you and I know he is undressing you with his eyes."
"Let him undress me."
Dimitri pulled away and lifted his eyebrow, "Let him undress you?"
"With his eyes, because he won't have a chance to do it in person," I stated.
Dimitri tensed and his grip on me tightened. He wouldn't look at me when we danced and I realised I must have said the wrong thing.
Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once
Upon a time in love
We're accidentally in love
Accidentally in love
"Dimitri..." I whispered. "I love you."
He looked down at me and his facial features softened, "Я чувствую то же"
"What did you say?"
"I said, I feel the same."
We stared into each other eyes, and I don't know about him but I wanted to be with him so much. I need him now, but I knew we wouldn't have sex. However, that doesn't mean I can't try my seduction ways.
"Dimitri..."
"I know Roza. I feel it too."
"Can we go?" I asked sounding impatient.
He let out a chuckle and said, "You still have your cake to cut."
I pouted and said, "Well what are you waiting for? Let's cut the cake."
"Rose, the night isn't going anywhere. We still have time," he breathed against my lips.
I nodded, breathing in his scent and trying to hold myself together.
Accidentally
I'm In Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally
Come on, come on
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
And the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself inside her
Love … I'm in love
I reluctantly let go of Dimitri and motioned for everyone to come over so I could cut the cake. All I kept thinking about was being alone with Dimitri, on my birthday. He wanted me just as I wanted him. Tonight was going to be interesting!
