Different Turn Of Events
Chapter 8

Rose
My mom left a few hours ago and we left on bad terms. We had a huge argument last night that rolled into this morning and she stormed out and I slammed the door behind her. I don't even remember what we were originally arguing about but 15 years of anger came out. I said some things I didn't mean and so did she… I think. Last night I told her I wish she wasn't my mother and she replied with 'I wish I had never given birth to you'. I used to think that she never wanted me when I was little and then hearing her say it just… well it destroyed me. I told her I hated her and slammed my bedroom door in her face. She was banging things around all night. This morning was just as tense and bad as it was last night, well it was probably worse. We didn't argue or even speak.

We just pretended that each other wasn't there. When she walked to the front door she opened her mouth to speak to me but then changed her mind. I was hoping she would say sorry and then I would apologise and everything would be ok-ish between us again. Instead she grabbed her case and walked out the door and I made sure to slam it on her so she knew I was pissed.

After the disastrous morning we had I went back to my bedroom and laid in my bed. Which is where I was now. I hate arguing with my mom, she's the only one I have but we are so similar and we clash because of that. We're both strong and independent women, we say what we feel and we don't back down in any fight or argument until we win.

I heard the door knock and debated on not answering it in case it was someone from school. I didn't feel like socialising. The door knocked again but louder. I groaned and muttered a few curse words before getting out of bed and going to the front door.

"Hello Rose"

"Dimitri? What are you doing here?" I questioned in shock.

"I came to see you" He replied.

I practically jumped on him. I wrapped my arms around him and felt him snake his arms around me and hold me tight to him. We pulled away from our embrace all too quickly and I let him in. I closed the door behind him and the two of us went into my bedroom. I sat at the top of my bed and put my back against the headboard and brought my knees up, Dimitri sat next to me after taking his duster and shoes off.

"I thought you were away with Lissa" I commented.

"We've had a few plan changes. We're not leaving for another couple of days now so I had the chance to come and see you for the day and then I will have to go again" He explained.

"You came all this way to spend a few hours with me?" I asked him.

"Of course. I will do anything for you Roza" He said "How have things been?" He asked.

"Ok… ish… my and my mom got into a fight and we're not talking but when she comes back I'm sure we'll fix it. You know what it's like between us. We're too similar and we both have our issues" I said.

"What was the argument about?" He asked.

"I don't even remember. I know it was something to do with Jesse and that situation and I accused her of treating me like some sort of victim who needs kid gloves and that's not me. I want to get on with my life and try and make myself happy. She just doesn't seem to understand that. The argument just got worse from there and we both said things we didn't mean" I explained to him.

"Are you ok with the Jesse thing?" He asked.

"I'm ok. I just want to move on" I confessed.

"I understand" He replied.

Dimitri and I sat on my bed talking for a little while, we had shifted in position. I now had my head leaning on his shoulder, he had his arm around me and he rested his head on top of mine. It felt nice to be in Dimitri's arms and know that he cares for me as much as I care for him. Dimitri is really the first person I could depend on for anything. I never had someone like that before, with Lissa it was her who depended on me and I know if I was in trouble she would help but I was her protector. I liked having my own protector and Dimitri is that person. I really think Dimitri is 'The One'.

Being so young many, including my mother, will tell me that I'm stupid and I don't know what love is but I do. I feel it with Dimitri. I love this man and I would kill for him and die for him.

I know he would do the same for me. That's love.

I don't need to tell him how I feel, he just knows. That's love.

He does everything in his power to make me feel better when I'm sad. That's love.

He makes me feel beautiful. That's love.

"You're very quiet" He said quietly.

"Just thinking" I answered.

"About…"

"You" I stated.

"Shall I be worried?" He asked.

"Of course not" I said "I just care for you and I know you're perfect for me… no matter what anyone says" I added.

Dimitri placed a kiss on the top of his head "If that's your way of saying you love me then… I love you too" He told me.

I looked up at him and saw his dark eyes gazing into mine. We sat there for a minute and just gazed at each other and in our gaze there was love. We didn't need to say we loved each other because our gaze said it all. Dimitri lowered his head as I brought mine up and our lips met in a sweet kiss. Without being too corny the kiss was Earth shattering. The kiss went on and it became more intense and more passionate.

Dimitri was laying on the bed and I was straddling him. His hands were on my waist and I had my hands on his chest. I could feel his strong muscles under my hands. I felt his hands move up my body and until his hands were cupping my face. I didn't break the kiss as I brought my hands down to his shirt and started undoing the buttons one by one. When all the buttons were open I started pushing the shirt off him. As the shirt slid of his shoulders it was as if cold water had been thrown over his face, he pulled away instantly.

"What's wrong?" I asked breathlessly.

"Are you sure you're ok? I don't want you to feel like you have to do anything or feel pressured" He told me.

"I promise you I'm fine… I'm more then fine" I replied.

"Promise me you will tell me to stop if it gets too much for you" He pleaded.

"I promise" I answered and gave him a genuine smile.

We started kissing again and so Dimitri was sure I was comfortable and ok with everything I took my own t-shirt off and I put his hands on my bare waist. He sucked in a breath as skin made contact with skin. I also had to take a breath, I could feel the electricity flowing between us and believe me when I say that nothing has ever felt more right.

Dimitri and I flopped down onto the bed as we tried to get our breaths back. I grabbed my bed sheet and pulled it over us to keep us warm. Dimitri wrapped an arm around me and I snuggled into him. What just happened between Dimitri and I was how it was supposed to feel when I first had sex. When Jesse raped me, when he took the one part of me that I could control… it didn't feel nowhere near what this felt like. Dimitri had just shown me what it meant to make love to someone. This was how it was supposed to always feel and if it doesn't… then you're not doing it right.

I looked up at Dimitri and saw that he was looking at me with a smile on his face "What?" I questioned.

"I love you" He stated.

"I love you too" I replied.

He wrapped his arms tighter around me and I snuggled into him as much as I could. I felt my eyes grow heavy and I was struggling to keep them open "Get some rest" He whispered to me and placed a kiss on the top of my head "I'll be here when you wake up" He promised and after hearing his promise, I closed my eyes one more time and feel into a deep but happy and comfortable sleep.

I woke up well rested from my sleep but it didn't take me long to notice that Dimitri wasn't in the bed beside me. I found a t-shirt, underwear and shorts to put on before leaving my bedroom and I saw Dimitri in the kitchen. He was standing over the stove and cooking something that smelled delicious. I never knew he could cook… I guess you do learn something new every day.

"Good afternoon" He said when he saw me.

"Good afternoon" I repeated "Something smells good" I commented as I approached him. He was only wearing his boxers and he looked… well he looked like the God everyone thought he was.

"I thought you might be hungry" He said.

"You thought right" I replied.

"It will be ready in a few minutes" He told me.
