Chapter 12

Rose POV.

Last time...

"What will it take for a man to be in your heart?" I ask her.

"Someone who truly loves me and cares about me. Plus someone that could understand me and be able to tame me." She says.

I lean my head down and murmur against her lips, "Maybe that could be me."

And with that we kiss passionately but were interrupted by two very familiar voices at the same time.

"Dimitri?"

"Rose?"

Now...

I recognized that voice anywhere. I turned right around and ran to my parents.

"Mom! Dad!" I yell. My dad picks me up and hugs me close to him.

I then hug my mom and we smile at one another. I go to Dimitri and bring him to my parents. I turn around and introduce Dimitri to my parents... I didn't want to be rude...

"Mom, this is Dimitri Belikov. Dimitri this is my mom," I tell him

"Hello, Ms. Hathaway. Its a pleasure to meet you," Dimitri says to my mom as he shakes her hand and then kisses her on the cheek.

My mom smiles and says," Its nice to meet you to Dimitri."

I turn towards my dad and ignore the way he was looking at me. I use my sweet little girl voice that I know that he cant ignore or avoid." Daddy, this is Dimitri," I say and turn to Dimitri. "And Dimitri this is my dad."

"We know each other," Both Dimitri and my dad said.

"You do?" my mom and me ask.

"We met today..." Dimitri says.

" When!" I ask.

" When you were in your dorm and I was waiting for you outside the door. And that was like a couple hours ago and plus your dad thinks I'm a punk." Dmitri tells me

" You are. I asked you why you were outside my daughters door and you asked who I was." My dad says back to Dimitri.

"I mean you're an old dude, who's in a girls dorm house and what else was I supposed to expect. I didn't know Roza was your daughter," Dimitri says to my dad.

My dad rolled his eyes and said," I was dropping off some Rose's new credit card. What? Her own father cant do it- what did you just call my daughter?"

"Roza. Her nickname I gave her and plus its her Russian name." Dimitri tells my dad.

I roll my eyes at them and looked at my mom. She was laughing her ass off at Dimitri and my dad. I let them bicker for a bit more before I stopped them because I was getting hungry.

"Dimitri! I'm hungry. Lets go." I say and grab his hand and walk away from my parents.

He laughs at me and I laugh with him. My dad and mom follow us, my mom still laughing. My dad was pissed but it was all right. Dimitri took my hand and we were holding hands... I felt my cheeks go red.

" Is this okay?" Dimitri asks me.

"No, it's not okay." My dad butts in and separates our hands.

I laugh and Dimitri straights up mugs my dad. I smile and run ahead to the Chinese restaurant P.F. Changs. They follow me and we go inside. Dimitri and I sat next to each other while my dad and mom sat next to each other. During the whole meal my dad and Dimitri kept fighting but in the end they had a lot of things in common. While my dad and Dimitri were talking about sports, my mom and me had some girl time.

"I wish you were back home. Its lonely without another girl inside the house." My mom says sighing.

"Maybe you guys should have another baby." I tell her.

She smiles at me and says," That's what your father said. But I dont think its a good idea. I mean I do but you're older now and plus me and your father are just..." My mom says.

"Are just what?" I ask

"I mean the sex is fucking amazing-," My mom says but I cut her off.

"Whoa, mom. TMI! Too much information!" I tell her.

My dad looks over at us, he smiles at my mom. My mom giggles and kisses my dad on the lips. ILL. But then I'm happy for them. The waiter comes over and Dimitri sneaks his credit card to the waiter so he could pay for it.

"You didn't have to pay," My dad tells Dimitri for the millionth time.

"Its alright .You can pay next time Mr. Mazur. It was nice to meet you." Dimitri says to my dad while shaking his head.

"It was a pleasure to meet you, Dimitri. Until next time." My dad says to Dimitri.

My mom turns to me and we hug. I kiss her on the cheek and she kisses me back.

"Come over more often," My tells me. "And bring Dimitri too your dad likes him..."

"Shut up. And I will and maybe with Dimitri." I tell her.

"Awww... come her my kiz." My dad tells me.

I go over to my dad and he hugs me close to him. " Ben, tatlım seni özledim. Daha sık gelmek gerekir. Seni seviyorum Ve. Ve bu çocuk Dimitri, ben de onun gibi." He kisses me on the forehead and continues.(I will miss you, sweetheart. You need to come over more often. I love you. And this boy Dimitri, I like him.)"Onu eve getirin ve o erkek arkadaşı ...?"(Bring him over to the house and is he your boyfriend...?)

"Alright, Daddy and no he isn't." I tell him.

I kiss him on the cheek and he kisses me back on the cheek. After my parents leave, Dimitri looks me in the eyes and I look down, blushing.

"You never answered my question," Dimitri says, while grabbing my hand. "If this was okay... for me to hold your hand."

"Yes," I tell him.

We hold hands as we walk back towards the tree and we just stare into each other's eyes. I break eye contact and start to play with my hair. Dimitri laughs at grans and me me so I was sitting in his lap and he wraps his arms around my waist. He lays his head onto my shoulder and we smile at each other. I look at the star at the top of the Christmas tree.

"Dimitri?" I ask.

"Yes, Roza?" Dimitri asks me.

"What do you want for Christmas?" I ask him.

"Hmm. I dont really want much. I just want to see my family happy and living healthy. And I want someone for Christmas..."

"OH..." Was all I said as I felt my cheeks get redder?

Dimitri laughs and holds me tighter to him. " What about you?"

"I want for someone to kiss me under a mistletoe... and for my parents and family, Lissa and everyone else to be happy." I tell him.

"And is this special person near?" Dimitri whispers in my ear.

I nod my head and smile. Next thing you know, I was off Dimitri's lap and grabs my hand. He starts to walk and I have to run just to keep up with him even though we were holding hands since he has some LONG ass legs that I can imagine myself wrapping my legs around on. I don't know what Dimitri was up to until he stopped and looked above our heads. I was trying to catch my breath but I couldn't stop laughing. I looked up to see what Dimitri was looking at and blushed. He smiles at me and bends down so we were face to face, our lips almost touching.

"We're under a mistletoe...can I kiss you, Roza?" Dimitri asks me.

I don't say anything but press my lips to his. We kiss and we start to laugh. We're laughing while kissing, never thought I would do that with someone... I pull away and walk away from Dimitri.

"Wait! Are you seriously walking away from me?" Dimitri yells after me.

I look back and smile and keep walking. I hear his footsteps as he runs after me and I laugh. He picks me up and twirls me in the air. It was fun and I was happy. I kiss him again, this time longer. Dimitri pulls away and we start to walk again, with Dimitri's arm around my waist. We walk to the car and Dimitri opens the car passenger for me. While I was getting in, he slaps my but and smiles and closes the door. When he gets in, I grab his shirt and pull him to me and start to kiss him. He leans over onto my side of the seat and starts to kiss me back. I push him away, knowing he will get his revenge back at me for kissing him and just stopping it when it was getting good for him.

"I'm not bringing you back to your dorm," Dimitri says as he starts the car and starts to drive. "You're coming back to my house and you are not leaving until I'm done with you."

I didn't say anything because I wanted to see what he wanted to do... Can't wait...

Note: Even though Dimitri and Rose did some gestures that considered I love you and all, remember that they don't love each other...yet. ;)

-Holding Hands = We definitely love each other

-Slap on the Butt = That's mine

-Holding on tight = I don't want to let go

-Looking into each other's Eyes = I just plain love you

-Playing with Hair = Tell me you love me

-Arms around the Waist = I love you too much to let go

-Laughing while Kissing = I am completely comfortable with you
