Sorry if this has confused any of you, but apparently in my story vampires can go out in the sunlight. Just go with it…LMAO 3 xD
RPOV
Today was our second day in Mexico, and so far it's pretty shitty. I haven't had the chance to talk to Dimitri yet, because every time he sees me he goes in the opposite direction, and Adrian is following me around everywhere. He does everything I don't want him to do; He flirts, he pulls out my chair for me, he holds the door…you get the idea. Sure, Adrian is sexy, and would probably be a very good boyfriend, but am I going to tell him that? Hell no. I would probably date Adrian if Dimitri wasn't around, but Dimitri is, and its Dimitri I want. Adrian constantly doing nice things for me isn't making me feel any better. Dimitri is just going to keep getting pissed off.
"Rose! Hurry up! We were supposed to meet Adrian and Christian ten minutes ago!" Lissa called to me.
"I'll be out in a minute!" I pulled my hair into a high ponytail and adjusted my black bikini top. Liss and I were going kayaking with Adrian and Christian, while Mia, Eddie, and Mason stayed at the pool. Dimitri and Stan are staying with Eddie, Mia, and Mason and the other guardians are coming with us.
"Let's go," I said, opening the bathroom door. Lissa was wearing a white bikini, and her hair was in a messy bun.
"It's about time," Lissa said, rolling her eyes. We hopped down the stairs, and on our way to the beach, a good-looking guy approached us. He had dark hair, and green eyes. He looked straight at me.
"Hey. I'm Ronnie. I was just on my way to the bar, and I was wondering if—"
"No," I interrupted. Way to be straight forward.
"I…um…just wanted to know if I could get you a drink or something," he said.
"I'm not interested. Sorry, Ronnie," I said, continuing to walk. I glanced back at him, and he stood there, stunned at being rejected.
"Why do you have to be so rude? He was hot," Lissa said trying to keep pace with me.
"I'm not interested. I thought you said you wanted me to be with Adrian?" I challenged.
"I did, but I know you're not going to listen to me. And if you don't want to date Adrian that's fine, but you have to date someone; even if it's only for a week. You haven't dated anyone since Mason," Lissa said, "I'd love to see you just happy for a little every now and then."
"Yeah. I know. When I find the right guy, I'll get back to you," I said. Lissa dropped the topic after that, and we walked down to the beach in silence.
We found Adrian and Christian by the water. Adrian was holding the paddles, yelling at Christian. Both of them were completely oblivious that Liss and I had arrived. I coughed loudly, and Adrian spun around, accidentally hitting Christian in the head with the paddles.
"What the hell, Ivashkov?" Christian snarled.
"Sorry. Hey, little dhampir," Adrian said, giving me a bear hug.
"Adrian," I groaned, "we just saw each other twenty minutes ago. You're acting like it's been an eternity," I said, pushing him off me.
"It has been! A whole eternity of misery!" Adrian said, finally letting go of me.
"You're almost as dramatic as Ozera with the room arrangements," I said fixing my hair.
"Don't even get me started with the room," Christian said, rubbing the back of his head where Adrian hit him.
"What took you guys so long?" Adrian asked, pushing the kayak into the water, and ignoring Christian's comment.
"Can we just go now?" Lissa said, impatiently, avoiding the question.
"Yes. Liss, you're coming with me. I refuse to go with Ivashkov," Christian said, handing Lissa a paddle.
"That means I get to go with Rose," Adrian said, flashing me a smile, and handing me a paddle.
"Fine. But you're sitting in the back. I don't trust you leading," I said. I jumped on the kayak, and Adrian did the same.
"I hope you know how to do this. I have no idea," Adrian said after we got situated on the kayak.
"Me and Lissa took lessons in sixth grade. I have a pretty good idea," I said. Me and Adrian paddled in silence for a while. I wanted to turn over to Lissa, and start a conversation with her, but she was trying to help Christian get on the damn kayak, because he kept falling off.
"Jesus Christ!" Adrian shrieked, as we were paddling away.
"What?" I turned around and there was seaweed all over his face. "What the hell? Why is there seaweed on your face?"
"You flung it on me with your paddle!" Adrian said, picking the seaweed off. I giggled.
"Oops. Sorry," I said, still laughing.
"Hathaway, you are so going to pay!" Adrian said. He started rocking the kayak.
"Adrian. Don't you dare. If you get my hair wet—" The kayak started to tip over, and I grabbed on to Adrian. "No!" The kayak flipped over and both of us splashed into the water. I was holding onto Adrian for dear life. "If there is a shark I swear I will kill you," I said shivering, and still clutching onto Adrian.
"What happened?" Lissa said, paddling up, behind us.
"Adrian tipped it over," I snarled. Christian barked a laugh.
"Nice work, Ivashkov," Christian said. Lissa smacked his arm.
"Oh my god, just get me the hell out of this water!" I said.
"Fine. Up you go," Adrian said, lifting me back onto the kayak. Adrian jumped back on the kayak, chuckling.
"How much further do we have to paddle? I'm cold and drenched and tired," I complained.
"Just a little further back, then we can turn around," Lissa said.
The rest of our kayaking trip wasn't too bad. Adrian didn't tip it over again, and Christian was freaking out over a fish being in the water, and he fell out. It was pretty hilarious, and so worth all the paddling. We eventually made it back to land, and went back to the pool area to find the rest of the guys.
"How did the kayaking go?" Eddie asked, as we approached him and the others at the pool.
"Good. You should come with us next time," Adrian said.
"Uh…who said there was going to be a next time?" I said. Lissa laughed.
"Rose didn't find the experience very worthwhile," Lissa said.
"What did Adrian do?" Eddie said, glaring at him.
"Why do you assume it was me that did something?" Adrian said, putting his arms in the air. Eddie shrugged.
"He tipped it over and Rose fell in, getting her hair wet," Christian explained, rolling his eyes.
"Ah. Never get a girls hair wet," Eddie said. Christian and Adrian nodded their heads in agreement.
"But it is pretty damn funny," Christian said, laughing. Adrian and Eddie nodded their heads.
"Hey, sorry to interrupt, but we have reservations at the Japanese restaurant in two hours, and I know it takes forever for the girls to get ready so we should start leaving now if you want to go there," Dimitri walked over to us, looking particularly sexy with his blue swimming trunks, and his hot, tanned body.
"Yeah. Okay. Thanks for reminding us," I said. Dimitri nodded his head.
"I'll get Mia and Max," Adrian said, noticing the tension between Dimitri and me.
"Mason," I muttered. Dimitri started walking away and I sighed. "I'll be back in a sec. I need to ask Guardian Belikov something," I looked over at Lissa to see if she noticed anything going on, but she didn't seem to be even paying attention.
"Dimitri. Can I…talk to you?" I said, chasing after him. Dimitri spun around.
"Rose. I um…can't. I have a…thing," Dimitri said, turning his back to me.
"Dimitri. What the hell is going on? I'm not into Adrian or anything. Just please talk to me," I said, desperately.
"Rose…it's not you...it's me," Dimitri said.
"Oh yeah, like I haven't heard that one be before," I said, trying not to cry. "What is it? You can't possibly believe I like Adrian, it was just a mistake. So if it's not that then what the fuck is it?" I said, furiously.
"Well…It's uh…actually it is you…I can't risk getting caught being with you. I don't want to ruin your future. You won't graduate or be Lissa's guardian," Dimitri said, not meeting my eyes. What the hell? This is not Dimitri. Who the fuck possessed him? This is bullshit. I don't believe one word he is saying.
"We've been through this and we came to an agreement. It's worth the risk," I said, turning his face so he would look at me. I blinked away my tears.
"I can't…" and with that he walked away, leaving me staring after him.
*Later that day*
"Oh my god, we sooo have to go to this!" Lissa exclaimed, stopping in her tracks. We were on our way to dinner, and we made a short cut to the place through the front lobby. Lissa snatched a piece of paper off the wall.
"What is it?" I asked, curiously, looking over her shoulder to see.
"They have dance/exercise lessons every morning at ten! And look at the instructor," Lissa said pointing to a picture of a hot toned Mexican guy.
"We are so going tomorrow," Mia said. Lissa nodded in agreement.
"Ugh. I have to wake up at ten? That's a crime! I can't wake up that early!" I shouted.
"Oh suck it up, Rose. We're only gonna go for one of the lessons," Mia said taking the flyer from Lissa, and shoving it in her purse.
"Fine," I groaned. We began walking again, passing a few bars, and some hot guys. One guy even stopped and asked Lissa what her number was and Liss gave him a fake number.
We approached the restaurant, and as I reached for the door, Lissa and Mia both blurt out "I'm having dinner with Mason/Christian somewhere else!" Mia and Lissa both looked at each other, confused.
"What? Are you guys serious? Please tell me you're joking!" I said.
"Sorry, Rose…at least you can spend some time with Eddie and Adrian!" Mia said.
"You're not just going to ditch me and go on a romantic getaway!" I said. A few people turned around and stared at me. Lissa and Mia passed me a guilty expression. "You guys suck ass," I said.
"Sorry!" they both called out, sprinting away. I groaned, and opened the glass doors to the restaurant.
I spotted Eddie and Adrian, and made my way to the table for two people with Adrian sitting calmly sipping on some sort of alcohol, and Eddie mumbling something.
"Hey guys," I said, sitting down on Eddie's lap. Eddie chuckled.
"Hey. Where'd Lissa and Mia go? I just saw them outside," Eddie said.
"Christian and Lissa and Mia and Mason are all ditching us to go out on a romantic getaway," I said rolling my eyes.
"Yeah…funny," Eddie said, looking down guiltily.
"Oh hell no! You're not ditching too!" I said jumping off his lap so I could glare at him.
"Sorry," Eddie said blushing. "I met someone earlier today, and—"
"Oh shut up and leave!" I said, not wanting to hear his lame excuse.
"Sorry, Rose Love you!" Eddie said, before scampering off.
"Ugh," I said letting out an exasperated sigh, and plopping myself in the chair across from Adrian. Adrian was sipping some alcoholic beverage from his glass, not having a care in the world of my distress. I sighed again more loudly, and Adrian finally glanced up, and set his drink down.
"What's the problem, little dhampir? You get to spend a whole evening with me. What's not to love?" Adrian said, grinning. I was about to respond with a witty response, when the waitress approached our table.
"Is there anything else I can get you Mr. Ivashkov?" she asked. She was wearing a rather tight and revealing shirt, and her giant fake boobs were all up in Adrian's face. She had a name tag that was labeled Grace. Yeah, cause she's just so graceful.
"Yes, I'll take a Margarita for Rose over here", Adrian said, giving me a side-ways glance, even though he was perfectly aware that I was still only 18.
"Of course," Grace gave me a dirty look, and turned away to get my Margarita.
"Can I wring her neck, please?" I said, balling my hands into fists.
"Now, now, little dhampir. As much as I love to see you get catty, now's not the time," Adrian said.
"She's a total bitch! I have to do something painful to her! I can't just walk away! That is not how Rose Hathaway rolls. You should know this stuff by now," I said, angrily.
"Are you…jealous?" Adrian said. His eyes were focused on his drink, but I could see his was trying to hide his stupid smirk of his.
"Me? Jealous? You have got to be kidding me!" I snorted.
"Rose Hathaway is jealous!" Adrian said, looking up at me, and laughing.
"Am not!" I said stubbornly.
"Okay, okay. Whatever you say…." He laughed again, and I glared at him. "C'mon Rose. Give me a smile!" I scowled at him, and the waitress came back.
"Here you are, Ma'am," Grace said, placing my drink in front of me. "Can I get you anyth—Oh my god!" The bitch "accidentally" hit my cup, and the whole thing spilled right onto my lap. "I am so sorry!" she said, not looking the tiniest bit sorry,
"Bitch! How dare you!" With that I stood up, and grabbed someone's spaghetti and meat balls, and poured it right on top of her head. Adrian just sat there, watching the show with an amused expression on his face.
"What the hell is going on here?" A bald man came out of the kitchen with a pissed off look on his face.
"Nothing! Adrian let's go!" I yelled. Adrian stood up, reluctantly and grabbed my hand and led me out of the restaurant. Grace and the bald guy started yelling after us, but Adrian didn't turn back. Adrian kept leading me to different places until we finally stopped in front of our hotel building.
"Can't you go anywhere without starting a scene?" Adrian said, gliding up the stairs.
"Yes," I answered grumpily.
"Sure you can," Adrian said. We stopped in front of my room, and I pulled out my key. As soon as the door opened, I ran to the bathroom and looked into the mirror, and unsurprisingly, I looked like a piece of shit. My mascara was running, my new outfit was completely ruined, and my hair was knotted and ugly.
"Ugh. I look like shit," I said, grabbing some eye makeup remover from my bag, and rubbing it on my eyes to try and get all the mascara off.
"I think you look beautiful, Rose. You always do," Adrian said. I rolled my eyes.
"You can stop with the compliments. I'm not sleeping with you," I said, getting the last of the mascara off my eyes. Adrian looked frazzled.
"I didn't say it because I want to get in bed with you," Adrian said studying me, "I said it because I mean it. I don't get why whatever I say to you just goes right by you. You just throw it away. You're so far for Belikov you don't even care to pay attention to me."
"I'm—"
"No don't say that you're sorry, because you're not. You don't care at all. You don't understand just how much I care for you, Rose. It kind of pisses me off. You're violent, mean, bossy, and sometimes lazy, but I love that about you. I don't know why, but I do. And also—" I cut him off, and kissed him square on the lips. It caught him a little off guard, but he melted right into the kiss. Even I was surprised by my actions. I don't know why I did it. Maybe it was lust, maybe I was caught in the moment…I don't really know. Where do we stand after this? What if I'm falling for him? Agh. What about Dimtri? So many questions, but at this point I don't really give a shit, anymore.
"And also…?" I mumbled, still kissing him.
"And also beautiful, strong, smart, and sexy," he said. I smiled.
"Rose smiles. Alert the media," Adrian smirked.
"Oh shut up," I said rolling my eyes. "You just completely ruined the moment."
"Did I?" he said raising an eyebrow. He leaned in to kiss me again, when the door opened.
"Rose!" Eddie yelled. When he saw me and Adrian, he gasped. "What the hell? Okay I don't even want to know," me and Adrian broke apart.
"Uh…what's up?" I said, awkwardly.
"Mia told me to remind you that you have to wake up early tomorrow, so you should try to go to bed a little early," Eddie said.
"Yeah, sure, whatever," I said.
"Yep," Eddie said, popping the P. Eddie continued to stand there.
"Dude. Leave," I said.
"Right," Eddie said, running for the door. Adrian laughed.
"Why do you have to wake up early?" Adrian asked.
"Ugh. I don't even want to talk about it," I said.
-NEXTT DAYYYYY-
"Rosie!" Christian yelled, jumping on top of me. "Get up, sleepyhead!"
"Christian get off my bed or I swear to god I'll murder you, and hide your body in the basement!" I groaned into my pillow.
"Aw, don't be like that, Rosie. If you don't get up, I'll take my shirt off," Christian said. My eyes shot open.
"No. Please. Don't!" I said covering my eyes.
"The shirts staying off if you don't get out of the bed," Christian said, laughing.
"I'm up! I'm up! Just cover it up, Fabio," I said, still shielding my eyes.
"What the hell are you doing?" Adrian asked walking in with a toothbrush in his mouth.
"Successfully using my hot bod to get Rosie out of bed," Christian said with a smirk.
"Yeah. His "hot bod" is just too much for me to take in," I said, pushing past both of them to get to the bathroom. I washed my face, brushed my teeth, made an attempt to do my hair, and got dressed in twenty minutes.
"Rose, are you ready yet? Me and Mia have been up for an hour!" Lissa said, banging on the bathroom door.
"Beauty takes time, Lissa. Chill out," I said.
"The lessons start in five minutes. Hurry!"
"Okay, okay!" I said coming out of the bathroom. Adrian and Christian were standing right there staring at me. I was wearing short shorts, and one of those workout tops that show your whole stomach. Yeah, I looked pretty hot. Christian covered his eyes, and Adrian's mouth was wide open.
"Okay…I'm gonna go…" I said, stepping away. Lissa and Mia were outside waiting for me, wearing something similar to my outfit.
"You're lucky that the place we need to go is right there," Lissa said pointing to a building right across from our hotel.
"Yeah, well, let's just get this over with," I said, sighing.
We walked into a small studio with about ten other girls in there, and the hot Mexican that was on the flyer.
"Hello, Ladies. I am Alejandro. I'm going to be your instructor today. May I have your names?" the hot Mexican guy said.
"Um, hi, I'm, uh, Mia," Mia said blushing.
"Lissa," Lissa said. Alejandro nodded.
"And who are you?" Alejandro said flashing me a bright smile.
"Sammi," I said, smiling. Lissa looked at me, confused.
"Nice to meet you, Sammi. Okay, now let's begin, everybody," Alejandro said, turning on some loud music.
"He was totally trying to hit on me! I'm not telling him my real name," I whispered to Lissa. She laughed.
"I will never understand your logic," Lissa said, laughing.
Alejandro started us off with some basic exercises, and then he started to teach us some dance moves.
"Emily, you're doing it wrong. Here, watch Sammi do it. Sammi, do you mind doing the dance move for us?"
"Rose," Lissa whispered. "He's talking to you."
"Oh. Um. Sure," I said. I did the dance move, and the class began to clap.
"Perfect, Sammi! If anyone is having trouble, just watch her," Alejandro said, winking at me.
The class went on and on… it was so dreadfully long. I had to demonstrate to the class two more times, and Alejandro kept staring at me the whole class. When it finally ended, I ran to the doors before Alejandro got to me.
"Sammi! Can I talk to you for a second," Alejandro called, chasing after me. I paused at the door, and sighed.
"Yeah, sure," I said walking back towards him.
"Would you like to have dinner with me sometime? I'd like to get to know you a little more," Alejandro said.
"That's sweet, but I actually have a boyfriend," Alejandro looked like he didn't believe me. "He's actually right over there," I said pointing to the first guy I saw out the glass window. Of course it had to be Christian who was standing there. Alejandro followed my gaze toward Christian, who was dorkishly waving to Lissa, and accidentally backed up into a plant, and nearly fell. He tried to unsuccessfully play it off, but it didn't really work out.
"I see. Well, do you mind if I ask him if he would let me buy you a drink? Just as friends?" Alejandro said.
"I don't think that's a good idea but…" Alejandro started walking towards Christian.
"Hey, sweetie," I said as we approached Christian. Christian looked at me like I needed to be put in a mental institute. He glanced at Alejandro and caught on.
"Oh, hey, babe. How was class?" Christian said, smiling.
"It was great. I had a lot of fun. This was the instructor, Alejandro. Alejandro, this is my boyfriend, Christian," I said.
"Hello," Alejandro said, shaking hands with Christian. "Sammi is a very good dancer. The best in the class. I hope to see her in my class again sometime soon."
"Oh yes. Sammi just loves to dance," Christian said glancing at me, "I'm sure you'll see her again in your class soon," Christian said, holding in a laugh.
"Yes, well, I was wondering if I could have a drink with Sammi maybe tonight. Just as friends. Would you have a problem with that?" Alejandro said. I mouthed 'no' to Christian, and shook my head. Christian looked between me and Alejandro.
"Oh, no I don't mind at all. Listen I got to go. Nice meeting you, Alejandro. See you later, Sammi, baby! Love ya!" Christian said, kissing me on the cheek and leaving.
"Ass," I muttered.
"So what do you say? Tonight? Eight o'clock?" Alejandro said.
"No, thank you. I just remembered I have a, uh, waxing appointment I have to get to…" Waxing! Good god, Rose! You're a genius. What a great excuse. With that, I ran off, catching up to Christian.
"Thanks, Christian! You're an asswipe. You were supposed to say 'Yes I do mind, back away from my girl, yo!'"
"I apologize, Sammi. I'll do better next time, I promise," Christian said batting his eyelashes.
"Ugh. And stop calling me Sammi, and never call me babe or kiss me on the cheek again," I said.
"Oh believe me; you don't have to worry about that, boo!" Christian said, laughing at his own stupid joke.
