Haunted
Chapter 3
Rose/Dimitri
After what seemed like hours, I finally got out of the shower. Unfortunatly i felt the need to go straight back in when i saw that the clock on my wall said i had only been in there for half an hour. I groaned. That wasn't anywhere near the relaxation time i needed, considering i had a very persistant EX love of my life in my room. I think i would need SEVERAL straight days of hot showers for that one. i sighed, shook my head and started getting dressed. I debated wheither to i should look my best or my normal, i didn't know which one would get him to leave faster.
I eventually decided to go as my normal, which wasn't bad but it sure as hell wasn't my best. "you're still here? I'd figured you'd have left by now" i said when i saw him sitting awkwardly on the chair i had pointed out to him.
"i came here because the princess wanted to know you were okay, and that's what i'm finding out" he said quietly
"Ah, yes the princess, almost forgot" i smiled "how is the princess?" i asked rumaging through the dresser next to my bed.
"nice try Rose, she is fine, but yet again i will say this, i was sent here to make sure you were okay" he said with a little edge in his voice
I laughed, yes it was fake but he didnt have to know that " does it look like I'm suffering Belikov?" yes i am. Part of me wanted him to see that but another just wanted him to leave so he would stop haunting my dreams, thoughts, my everything.
He cleared his throat " no it doesn't but you're a good actress, good not great"
I glared " listen Belikov" i spat his name " i am fine, and i don't need the likes of you" i looked him up and down with distaste " checking up on me. you can tell the princess i said so when you send her my best wishes" i headed toward the door, opened it and waited for him to get the hint and leave.
He walked up to the door, snatched the handle away from me, and shut the door. " stop pretending! you may fool everyone else but you don't fool me. Not one bit and that's without knowing about your little incident at the track" he growled
"wow Belikov! I'm proud of you, you've officially upgraded to stalker! congrats" i said sarcastically
"FUNNY! not. Adrian came to the princess about it, saying that she should make up with you because it was affecting your life too much" huh i didn't think he actually believed me... " I take it you didn't tell him about your psycho tirade in the food court"
"hardly" i scoffed "didn't have to. apparently it was a hot topic here 'former strigoi and current guardian arguing in the cafeteria' yep definatly trumps the latest pregnant teen" i shot at him. i felt instant guilt when i saw the look on his face, but i still persisted. it was the only way to get him to leave.
"low blow Rose, but you still haven't gotten your wish, I'm still here, and unfortunatly the other part of the princess's wish was to do whatever was in my power to help you"
"sucks for you comrade" i said using my former nickname for him. It got the reaction i had wanted, he flinched " fortunatly there is only one thing in your 'power' you can do to help me and that is LEAVE" i stressed the last word hoping he would get the hint already that i didn't want him in my room.
"whatever, i tried, at least i can tell her that" he all but snarled at him
"yes, run along and tell Princess Vasilisa that you tried to help poor pathetic Rose, like a good servant" i said partonizingly
"you will never change Rose" he walked out the door and turned around probably about to tell me off but i beat him to it.
I smiled " No and neither will you Belikov" and i slammed the door in his face.
I should've felt great after all that, but all i wanted was to have him back here arguing with me, because even if he was yelling at me, he was with me, instead of an eternity away. I felt as if we had just taken a dozen steps back instead of forwad. The stabbing pain wouldn't go away and i couldn't help but bring out the old letter he had sent to me when he was a strigoi. " at least when he was a strigoi he wanted me" wait what? what was i thinking? he was better as a dhampir, i wanted him as a dhampir right? why else would i have risked Lissa's life by doing what i did. To save the man i loved, that's why. I sighed and turned on the radio. I needed something to distract me.
"now here is Lady Antebellum with 'Need you now' " the radio DJ said.
This is not what i meant. i groaned and moved to turn it off when the first words came on
"Picture perfect memories
scattered all around the floor"
GAH! i looked down at the letter. it wasn't picture perfect but still, little too close to home for me.
"reaching for the phone
cause i can't fight it anymore"
I resisted the urge to throw the radio at the wall
"and i wonder if i ever cross your mind
for me it happens all the time"
GRRR! what was it with the music lately? it was like it was all out to get me! but it did make me think, he was on my mind an awful lot. i shook my head. i couldn't think about that right now.
"It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone
and i need you now
Said i wouldn't call but i lost all control
and i need you now
and i don't know how i can do without
i just need you now"
I grabbed my head, i couldn't do this again, not after last time. Though on the upside, if there was an upside, at least i was in my room this time
"another shot of whiskey
can't stop looking at the door
wishing you'd come sweeping in
the way you did before"
I looked at the empty whiskey bottle that was carelessly hid in the trash.. then at the door, how did he not notice the bottle? maybe he did but didn't want to mention it. what was wrong with me? i use to drink but never because of this reason.
"and i wonder if i ever cross your mind"
Do i Dimitri?
"for me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one i'm a little drunk
and i need you now said i wouldn't call but i lost all control
and i need you now
and i don't know how i can do without
I just need you now"
I wish i was drunk. No i take that back, i don't. Then all this would be painful, more so even.
"yes i'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all"
I didn't know about that.. right about then nothing would have been good.
"It's a quarter after one i'm all alone
and i need you now
and i said i wouldn't call but i'm a little drunk
and i need you now
and i don't know how i can do without
i just need you now
i just need you now"
"so dont need this!" my brain was screaming but my heart was already making its case in my head. My heart wanted the phone... badly. so what did i do?
My body was on auto pilot, my feet moved on their own across the room. My hand picked up the phone and i dialed the number i had tried so hard to forget.
I stood there unable to do anything else as it rang
"Belikov here"
I stopped breathing
