Adrian
I was walking over to my apartment when my phone started buzzing. Further inspection showed who was calling me, the lovely Lissa.
"Hey, what do you need?" I asked, flipping open the phone.
"Well, hello to you too." She said with a laugh, "Rose is busy, something having to do with her brother in trouble. So I need you to go pick up Dimitri." She said. The part about Rose and her brother instantly worried me, Damn that stupid delinquent always getting into trouble. I decided to let that go though, for now.
"Why do you need me to pick up Dimitri?" I asked, changing direction from the apartment to Dmitri's place.
"You know how he is, He thinks his safety is on the line from walking to his house to mine. He thinks he needs to be guarded." She said with an affectionate sigh. I had no idea what she saw in him. Well, I guess it wasn't anything, considering that their whole togetherness was based on publicity. Yeah, Lissa and that ass Dimitri were together. They were friends the same way Rosie and I were, except since birth. I guess their parents had always planned them being together. An arranged marriage since Diapers. But I knew how they felt for each other; it wasn't romantically, even though that is how they portrayed it. It was like a brother to a sister, they were best friends. But for their families name sake, they were together.
"Okay, sure. I can handle that, I'm on the way right now. Why is he going to your house anyway?" I asked.
"Well, not that it's any of your business…" She trailed off, and giggled when I snorted at that. She told me everything, whether I wanted to k now or not.
"He's just coming to get fitted for the Tux, for tonight. We have to color coordinate." She explained. As if it was a known fact.
"Fun to know. But hey, I'm almost at Belikov's, and I wanna call Rosie about her brother." I said. I could tell Lissa just nodded.
"Ow!" Lissa shouted. I stopped walking and immediately tensed, going into guardian mode.
"Lissa, what happened? Whats wrong? Are you okay?" I practically yelled.
Lissa burst out laughing. "Adrian! Calm down, Mia just pinned me, with the needle. Dress alterations, remember?" She said. I could hear Mia mumble an apology, she was Lissa's assistant and friend.
"Okay, now bye!" she yelled, laughing a bit more before shutting off her phone. I smiled and dialed Rose's number.
Rose
I grabbed my stupid older brother and practically pushed him in the car. He grumbled at that but didn't protest, he knew the deal. He'd just have to take my anger, so I wouldn't squeal to mom. I got in the driver's seat and put the key in ignition as my phone buzzed. I answered it as I pulled out of the court mall. And yes, they had everything here at court.
"Hello?" I answered.
"You know, it really isn't safe to be talking on the phone while driving." The delinquent in the seat next to me said. I just gave him a glare.
"What happened now?" Asked Adrian on the other side of the phone.
"Well, My stupid brother here, decided to light up the store attendants hair when they were," I air quoted, "rude to him."
"The guy was totally being an ass!" He yelled next to me, "He deserved to get that hideous hair singed off." He muttered. "It was basically a comb-over." He said. And while a comb-over diffidently was bad…. Well, the poor guys hair was on fire! Not cool.
All I heard was Adrian laughing on the other side of the line, no doubt just hearing all the commotion between Christian and me. I hung up on him.
I turned to Christian. "I had to ditch Belikov, just to pick you up from mall security!" I yelled, swerving around the cones placed in our apartment driveway. Pulling the car to a stop.
"Like that was hard to do." Christian said.
And although he was right, Ditching Belikov wasn't hard, I was a guardian. He was my duty. Something Christian would never understand. Him being a moroi and all. Confused? So my mom is moroi. Dad is Dhamper. My mom was with this Ozera guy (moroi), and had Christian. He left her shortly after, the dick. But then my mom met my dad, Abe. So yes, me and Christian are siblings. Oh, to make matters more complicated. The Ozera's are a royal family. Making Christian royal, but just him, not like my mom or anything, he is the only one with Royal blood. He has the power of fire too. Making him kinda dangerous when we get in fights. Which is just basically every day.
I mumbled a string of obscenities at him and got out of the car. Yes, I loved my brother. He was just a pain in the ass.
"You have to get ready. Your dad will be expecting you tonight." I said. Hopefully Christian hadn't forgotten about the Ball.
"Oh yeah, I wonder who he will bring this time. Last week at dinner he brought Susan. The week before Katie." He said, with resentment in his voice. It was known, he and his father weren't exactly best friends.
I just nodded in understanding and trudged over to the sliding glass doors.
"Oh and Rose." Christian said, as we opened the elevator.
"Thank you for helping me." He said as I punched our floor number in.
I just nodded and smiled.
"Anytime."
_duh, duh DUH. surprise! haha. im not sure if its possible with all the moroi and dhampher genes and stuff, or whatever. But its happened, and i most certainly like it, if i do say so myself.
More surprises to come! depending on the reviews i get, i might add another chapter later todayy!
hugs and kisses, nessa(:
