Xxxaddictedxxx

After a long flight we eventually landed in Russia. Dimitri told me where we landed but I was really to tired to care. We booked into a hotel for the night and we would then be travelling to Baia in three days as Dimitri wanted to show me around before around.

Russia was really beautiful but I still couldn't forget the memories of my prior journey to Dimitri, he never noticed my discomfort or if he did he didn't say anything. I have a feeling it was the latter. I must say I did try to pay attention to his history lectures but I mainly just looked at the awesome buildings rather than learning about it's what I'm sure was it's fascinating history, either that or Dimitri really loved his home. Probably both I thought.

On our last night in St. Petersburg we went for dinner. It was odd, neither of us was that kind of person but it was simple and I still enjoyed it although on a second thought I could be wandering around space with Dimitri and I'd be happy out… ..

On the walk back up to our bedroom Dimitri shook me out of my thoughts as he grabbed me and pushed me up against the wall just outside our room, why he couldn't wait until we were in the room I'm not entirely sure but hey my Russian god was urgently kissing me in a passionate way who was I to object?

We eventually got to carried away to continue outside our room so Dimitri carried me in, how he opened the door without breaking the kiss I'm not sure but I wasn't going to complain! Dimitri put me lying on the bed and things got very heated. We eventually collapsed and fell asleep tired from our love making.(if you want lemons please just review and tell me and I'll see what I can do J).

I awoke the next morning in Dimitri's arms and remembered that we were due to go visit his family today. I was looking forward to it but dreading it at the same time. I loved Dimitri's family they were just great but I had left with Vicktoria angry with me and had not said goodbye to any of them except his grandmother as I left in the middle of the night. I still felt bad about that. I don't know how long I spent thinking about them but I suddenly realised that Dimitri was awake beside me as he was leaving a trail of kisses along my jaw bone. I shuddered, loving it and dragged his lips to mine but he pulled away and looked at me with those puppy dog eyes of his making me melt like a piece of chocolate! He sat up and rendered me speechless

"Roza, will you marry me?"

I was dumbstruck, pleasantly surprised. He looked at me with a look of concern on his face and I realised I was taking my time answering him. The sincere look in his eyes brought me back to reality and I just jumped on him, causing him to fall back, as I hissed him.

"Oh my God Dimitri of course I will" I said with a huge grin on my face. I felt so giddy and seeing Dimitri's reaction just made me all the worse.

I could not help but kiss him. Once things started to get heated again he pulled away much to my disappointment. He just laughed and told me to go get a shower. I pranced off but not before kissing him again, straddling him as he moaned but I decided it was time he got a taste of his own medicine as I pulled away from him

"hmmmm I recall somebody telling me I needed to shower" I told him with a cheeky grin.

He just smiled back knowing it was harder for me to leave him there. Hmph Dimitri and his stupid self control.

I was in the shower and just couldn't help thinking over his proposal. It was so simple but I liked it that way, it was so Dimitri. There was no long speeches about our everlasting love or any soppiness, just shows how well Dimitri knows me, I smiled to myself, he knew that I would prefer this . ..simplicity, nothing extravagant which I would give out about or nothing cheesy that I would tease him over in the future. How perfect was he? I was suddenly shocked when the water turned cold and I noticed it was about time I got out of the shower.

I walked back into the room dressed to go, all I had to do was my hair and grab my stake. I decided to leave my brown hair down as I knew Dimitri loved it that way, so soft and silky, tempting him to run his hands through it. He was right I was such a tease. I smiled to myself, Dimitri caught me

"What are you smiling about"

"Oh nothing just something you said earlier"

He just smiled at me a cocked one of his eyebrows knowing how frustrating I found it as I couldn't do it

"and what would that be?"

"Wouldn't you just love to know" I replied winking at him as it was something I could do.

I was now standing wait for Dimitri as he finished fidgeting with his suitcase before we left. He turned around and grabbed my hand, as I was starting to become impatient as I was not used to waiting on people,

" I think you're forgetting something Roza?"

I was confused as I tried to think of wait I may have forgotten.

He pulled my closer and so that I was facing him as he got down on his knee with a little velvet box in his hand.

I smiled as I realised he had a ring and that his proposal was planned not just spur of the moment.

He opened the box and the most gorgeous ring I had ever seen was placed in it. It was small and simple but it was just like the proposal, perfect. I just stood looking at it and I could fell my eyes tearing up, God Dimitri knew me so well. He took my hand and placed the ring on my finger. It was the perfect ring and part of my acknowledged that I would be able to fight in it just as if I wasn't wearing it. The thought struck me odd, in this most romantic moment of my life I was thinking about stirgoi, typical and fitting, that's what caused me to meet him, it would always be present, lurking in the back of my mind. I sprang back into the moment as Dimitri kissed the ring on my finger

"I love you so much Roza and you have made me the happiest man in the world now that you have agreed to marry me."

It was so sweet and like Dimitri so of course I had to counter it with a smart ass Rosemarie Hathaway comment

"I thought I did that a long time ago" I teased while I kissed him.

Unfortunately we had to break apart as we had a schedule to stick to.

Part of me longed to see Sydney as she had been a constant factor in my life the last time I was in Russia. I sighed and Dimitri instantly picked up on it

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, just thinking about Sydney"

I noticed as a little smile broke through his guardian mask which was now in place. I frowned, trying to figure out what has caused this. I wasn't feeling nauseous so I knew we were safe, but part of my couldn't relax. Dimitri smiled across the table as we ate our breakfast in comfortable silence, both of us eating a colossal amount, me in particular taking into account my slender frame and build.

As we walked out Dimitri took hold of my hand. It was nice to be able to have this level of openness about our relationship as two guardians together was still taboo among the general public in the Moroi world.

As we reached our car I discovered why Dimitri had been trying to suppress his smile. It appeared that Sydney would be our escort as she sat in the driving seat of her precious car. I squealed and ran to her smothering in a hug much to her surprise and slight disgust and my delight. To her defence she took it quite well and hugged me back. She also gave Dimitri a slight smile and when I wriggled my fingers and she spotted my engagement ring she seemed genuinely happy for me. I was over the moon but I couldn't help feeling bad as I had always thought that Lissa would be the first person I would tell but times had changed.

The journey was a long one and I soon fell asleep sitting shot gun much to Dimitri's disappointment but I couldn't leave Sydney on her own up in the front when she was being so helpful in the first place. I was soon pulled into an Adrian dream.

For once he left me dressed as I was.

"Ah little Dhampir I did so hope to find you".

I was happy to see Adrian so I ran over and hugged him, as I did the little diamond brushed off his skin. He pulled back and grabbed my hand before pulling me into a tight hug

"Rose I am so happy for you"

He was really happy for me which took a huge weight off my shoulders but suddenly things became awkward,

"No Adrian, this has been like the most perfect day ever do not ruin it for me" I pleaded.

He looked at me and let it drop. He asked about the proposal and we talked about life in general just leaving Lissa and anything to do with her out of the conversation.

All to seen I was woken from my drive.

"Roza were stopping for a bite to eat."

I leaped out of the car starving as usual. We all ordered chips and a burger. Dimitri and I finished or rather ate most of Sidney's meal, it's not as if she minded.

" So Rose, have you told your parents or am I too keep this quite so your Dad doesn't find out before you want him to?"

SHIT I thought. How was I going to tell my father and more importantly how the hell was I going to tell my mother?

One thing was certain, my legendary mother Guardian Janine Hathaway was not going to be happy. . .
