I Hate you, I Love You

Chapter 3 :

"Is he going to be okay?" Rose asked the doctor after he came out of Adrian's room.

The doctor nodded. "Yes, don't worry. But he needs time to recover. He was in a very bad shape. If you were late he'd not be able to make it. He was dehydrated and his blood was full of alcohols and other drugs. He wasn't eating for more than two days that I'm sure of." Then he smiled. "Don't worry miss, your boyfriend will be fine in no time." He said and left her.

She sighed. Now, he's calling him my boyfriend. Great.

She entered the room to find still asleep Adrian. There were lots of tube and wires attached to him.

She walked and sat on the chair next to his bed, hesitantly she took his hand in hers stroking its back with her thumb. "Look what you did, Crazy. You almost killed yourself, Ivashkov." She whispered. She felt so guilty that it was all her fault.

When she was sick though he knew she'd her friends with her, he came right away to check and take care of her. She waited four days. Four freaking days to give him a thought and he almost died.

Tears fell from her eyes.

"Adrian." A girl came running to the room. Rose turned to look at her. The girl saw her and gave her a small smile. "Hi."

She looked a lot like Adrian with the bronze hair and the green eyes. "Hi."

"I came as soon as I heard. How's he?" She asked.

"He'll be fine. The doctor said he'll need time to recover but he'll be fine."

The girl sighed in relief then she scanned Rose. "I'm sorry, I'm Athena Adrian's sister."

"Hi, I'm.."

Athena cut her off with a smile and nod. "I know. You're Rose, Adrian told me about you, so he finally convinced you."

"You know about me?" Rose asked surprised.

Athena nodded. "Sure a thing. You're the girl who put Adrian under her spell and caused all the changes he had lately. Thank you for getting to him on time or.." But she didn't continue.

Her phone rang and she said she'd to answer and left the room. Rose sat back on her chair and sighed. "Now you're making me feel worse."

"Sorry." He murmured and she looked up at him.

"You're awake finally. How're you?"

He had a weak smile. "I don't know. I'm very tired and hungry and thirsty. I thought I died when I saw you."

Rose chuckled. "No, not really. And you can't die now or I'd lose my date you said you'd take me to."

"You'll come in a date with me?" He asked surprised.

Rose nodded. "Apparently. But as we said, only one date."

He sighed. "Three."

"One."

"Three."

"One."

"Fine let's make them two. The second one would be in the Valentine's day." Adrian said trying to negotiate.

Rose sighed and nodded. "Fine and then you'll stop doing all that crazy stuff like stalking me."

Adrian nodded. "Fine."

"And you wouldn't hurt yourself like you did with all the alcohol and drugs and the no eating thing."

"But.."

"I'm serious Adrian. You almost die today 'cause of that. You wasn't partying 'cause you know how to party. That was almost a suicide."

"I was sad. I was trying to forget."

"Is it 'cause of me?" She asked.

He nodded sheepishly. "Though nothing worked. Except me almost dying to let you accept my offer."

She glared at him and then chuckled. "You're crazy. You can't do that every time you were told no."

"I don't. It's just for the One. I told you that." He said. "So when can I take you to our first date?" He smirked.

"When you're fine enough to do it. You need to recover first." She told him. "And by the way, who else did you tell about me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your sister Athena, she just came and apparently she know everything."

Adrian laughed. "That's Athena. My sister. I can't not to tell her."

Rose sighed and nodded. "Yeah, I understand."

"Do you have a sister?" He asked.

She shook her head. "I've two brother though. Dimitri and Mason."

"Dimitri? Isn't that a weird name?"

"His mother is Russian. Mason and my mother is American. But that's not the point, we're the best of brothers and sister."

He nodded. "I understand. The family is very important."

She nodded to him as Athena entered the room to give her brother a very tight hug. Then she started lecturing him.

Rose stood up and smiled sheepishly. "Okay, since you're okay I'll leave. I'll come to see you tomorrow. Just don't do anything stupid."

He nodded. "Sure. Anything for you, Rose."

She flushed and nodded. "Nice to meet you, Athena."

Athena nodded. "Nice meeting you too, Rose."

"Have a nice day." She said before leaving the room.

"Adrian Alexander Ivashkov, now I understand why you fell for such a girl." Athena said.

Adrian grinned. "Well, sis. You can't blame me. She's so catchy."

Athena nodded. "Indeed. Just don't mess everything with her."

"Are you crazy? No way." He said and smiled happily thinking about the beautiful girl who just saved his life.

"Hey." Rose said walking to Adrian's room.

He smiled. "Hi." It was Saturday morning so she didn't have any classes.

"How do you feel?" She said putting the chocolate box on the table next to him.

"I'm better now thanks to you."

"I hope you like chocolate." She said sheepishly.

"I'd love anything you bring. Thank you so much."

She smiled. "You're welcome." She said then handed him a file. "I copied the lectures you missed. I hope my notes aren't complicated."

"Are you kidding? It's perfect, thank you."

She nodded. "You're welcome."

"Have a seat, please." He said.

"I don't want to bother you, I just came.."

"You're not bothering me at all. Please have a seat. I'll share the chocolate with you." He said with a smirk.

She smiled and sat on the chair next to him. "Okay." Then she looked around. "I thought Athena would be here."

"She left very early in the morning. I told her to have a rest and come later. She was tired."

"Oh, yeah, I'm pretty sure she needed it."

He nodded taking the chocolate box from the table and opened it. He looked up at her. "I'm going to say something and you'll feel very guilty but it's okay. Don't be."

She looked at him confused. "What do you mean Ivashkov?"

"This is chocolate, right?" She nodded. "And they have almonds and filberts in them, right?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, I've a very severe allergies to both of them. That means one almond and boom I'm dying."

She looked at him openmouthed. "You're not kidding, are you?"

He shook his head with a grin. "Not at all."

"Okay, I feel so horrible now."

Adrian shook his head. "I told you not to be. Seriously Rose. It's okay."

"I came to check on you not to kill you."

Adrian chuckled and nodded. "I know and I believe you. I told you not to feel guilty. For real Rose."

"Okay, do you've any other allergies I should know about?" She asked.

"Well, I've allergies from rubber so I can't use condoms." He said with a grin.

Now Rose's jaw was on the floor. "Okay, that's weird and awkward. Did you just say..?"

He nodded. "Yes, I did. It happened lately though. I didn't have it before."

"You're kidding, tell me we're not talking about that."

He chuckled. "C'mon, it's a medical condition. I stopped having sex since then."

"What?"

He nodded. "Yes. I wasn't going to let a random girl carry my baby or anything like that."

"Adrian, you're 100% crazy."

He nodded. "Yep. I'm totally crazy about you."

"Since when you've that allergy?"

"Since last year."

"Okay, that's awkward. Change the subject please."

"When can we go to our date?"

She shrugged. "When you're better?"

"I'm better."

"No, you're not. I can't go in a date with you attached to 83 wires and 72 tubes."

He looked at her and laughed. "Oh, Rose. You're amazing. More than I've ever thought you're."

"Well, thank you. I guess. That doesn't change the fact that you're still the incarnation of Casanova."

"I'm not." He said offended.

"Yes, you're."

"I'm not. I just told you I didn't have sex since last year."

"That 'cause you couldn't use condom and you didn't want to have any babies."

"Who said that? I do want to have babies but I want them to be our babies. Mine and yours." He said.

She glared at him. "You're a jerk." She said and left the room.

"Rose." But she was gone.

The next day Adrian left the hospital, he asked his sister to take him directly to Rose's house.

He knocked on the door. "Coming." Called Rose from inside.

She opened the door to find him behind her door smiling. "Hi." He said.

She crossed her arms over her chest. "Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital?"

"The doctor released me this morning. I came here right away."

"Why?" She asked lifting an eyebrow.

"Because of what happened yesterday. I didn't understand. You got mad and all."

"Maybe you should go to your house and have some rest."

He shrugged. "I can't."

"Why?"

"My sister drove me here and she left. I'm a sick man all by myself."

She sighed. "George took my car, he'll be back soon though. C'mon in."

He smiled and entered thanking her. She walked to the kitchen. "Do you need something to eat or drink?"

"A beer?"

"I'll make some green tea." She said ignoring him.

"Where's everybody?" He asked. "Don't you've friends living with you?"

She shrugged. "They went to the church for the Mass."

"Oh, I see." He said. "And you don't go."

"I'm not into those things." She said as she put two mugs on the counter while boiling some water.

"What happened Rose?"

"What do you mean?"

"Yesterday." He said.

"When you used your line that said, I want to have a baby with you?"

"I said babies and it wasn't a line. It was the truth."

She shook her head. "Not an Adrian's thing."

"I told you, people do change."

"Not that change." She said.

"When they find the One, they do." He told her.

She sighed. "Adrian stop harassing me. I said I'll go to the Valentine's with you. And you'll stop bothering and stalking me after that."

"Let's just go to the date first and you promise you'll let me take you twice."

She sighed murmuring something about his memory and stupid negotiation.

She put the tea in front of him and sat on a chair to read a book. "Rose."

"Hmm?"

"I love you." He said simply.

She looked up at him with shock. "Adrian.."

"I'm serious. I love you and I want you to believe that. I'll do anything to prove it."

"Stop stalking me then." She told him.

"That's not fair. You're pushing me and denying me any chance."

"Deal with it." She said with someone knocked on the door. She sighed getting up to answer.

Adrian stayed in the kitchen till he started hearing weird things. "I said get out." Rose was saying to someone.

"I'm not leaving till you talk to me."

"I don't want to talk to you, Ralf. We're done."

"No, we're not."

Adrian came out to see what was happening. "Is something wrong?"

They both looked at him. Ralf was surprised then angry. "Who's that?"

"None of your fucking business. Leave my house now." She shouted at him.

"I'm not leaving. Is that the new guy you fuck with?" He asked.

"You don't have any right to question my relationships. You're out of my life since you cheated on me with that slut."

"And what do you call yourself?" Ralf asked with a smirk.

"I call myself Rose Hathaway the girl that don't want anything to do with you."

"You heard her now leave." Adrian said stepping closer to them.

"And what are you going to do if I didn't do such a thing?"

"You don't want to know." Adrian hissed dangerously but Ralf punched him.

In normal situation Adrian would block the move easily and punch him back but he wasn't normal he was sick and just got out of the hospital.

"You bastard." Rose shouted and Ralf slapped her.

"Don't ever call me that."

Rose was so angry that she broke a bottle of glass and threatened Ralf with it. "Get out or I swear to every god you know that I'll kill you."

Ralf stepped back when he saw her reaction and left.

Rose closed the door and helped Adrian to his feet. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just hit my head. Are you okay?"

She nodded. "Yes, I'm fine." And she walked with him back to the kitchen.

"What just happened?" He asked her after a while of silence. "Who was that?"

"My ex." She said thoughtfully.

"I'm sorry he slapped you. I'd do more but.."

She nodded as she handed him a pack of ice for the punch he got. "I know, you still didn't recover. It's okay. I understand."

"When are we going to press any charges?"

Rose shook her head.

"What?"

"I'm not pressing any charges."

"Are you crazy?"

She shook her head. "I'm not crazy."

"Yes, you're. He came to your house insulting and slapping you, Rose. You're very crazy if you didn't do a thing."

She shook her head. "I can't. I wish I could."

Adrian looked at her with eyes that could see through her soul. "It's not his first time, isn't it?"

Rose tilted her head down with shame glaring at the floor.

"Answer me, Rose. I'm not going to judge."

Rose shook her head. "You can't tell anyone, Adrian. Please."

Adrian walked to her holding her hands. "I'm not going to tell a soul Rose but what's going on? Tell me. I'll do anything to help you. Please." He said and pulled her to a very tight hug.

Rose broke and started crying very hard. "I want to do anything to stop him, but I can't. I really can't."

"Shhh, it's okay. It'll be fine. Everything will be fine." He was saying that while rubbing circles on her back.

She shook her head. "No, nothing will be fine. I'm messed up. Everything is messed up and I can't do a thing."

"Tell me what's going on, Rose? Let me help."

"You can't." She said shaking her head.

"Try me. You'll be surprised of how much I can do for you and only you."

She looked behind him to the window where she saw Lissa and Christian coming. "Let's go to my room. My friends came." She said and pulled him to the stairs.

He followed her to there and she closed the door behind them and locked it.

She sighed and sat on the bed. "Rose, what's going on?"

"If Lissa saw me crying she'd know what's going on and she'd call Dimka."

"Dimka?"

"My brother Dimitri." She said.

"Is that a bad thing?"

She nodded. "Yes."

"Why?"

"Because he's over protective and bad things would happen." She said.

He sighed and sat next to her putting his arm around her shoulders. "Rose, tell me. What's the problem?"

She shook her head. "It's complicated."

"Well, I can understand." He said.

She shook her head getting up to stand next to the window.

"Rose you can't push me. Tell me what's going on?"

"Rose, we're home." Lissa called from near the door.

"Hey." Rose called like she was okay.

Lissa tried to open the door but she couldn't. "What's going on?"

"Nothing?" Rose said suggestively.

Lissa snorted. "Yeah right. Enjoy." She laughed and walked away from the door.

"Now can you tell me what's with that bastard?"

"He.. has things."

"Things?"

"Things to blackmail me. To threatened me with." She explained.

"What do you mean? What things?"

Rose flushed and looked away.

"Rose, what things?"

"Videos for the time we were together." She said and started crying again. "I didn't know he was recording that till we broke up."

Adrian took her to his arms as she cried. "Oh my god. That bastard."

"He impregnated me accidently. And when we found out he told me if I didn't have an abortion he'd put the videos in the internet. Porn videos."

Adrian took her closer to him as they sat on the bed. She was crying hard. What Ralf did to her was hurting her even after all that time. "What did you do?"

"I'd the abortion and broke up with him. Of course he refused to leave me alone and would come to harass me every once in a while but I can't do anything. I can't embarrassed my family with such a thing. So I keep it to myself."

"That's why you're single?" Adrian whispered.

"Well, partially 'cause I don't want to get hurt and partially 'cause that would 'cause more problems with Ralf. Things I don't want to happen." She whispered.

"I'm really sorry Rose. I really am. I didn't know you were suffering and I didn't make it easy at all."

"You didn't know and you'd not guess." She whispered.

"Still. I can't believe I was hurting you like that. I'm deeply sorry."

She nodded. "Apology accepted."

He smiled weakly and kissed her hair. "I won't hurt you again Rose. I promise. I'll do anything in my power to make you happy. I'll do everything to keep you safe. I promise Rose even if I lost my life trying."

She looked up at him to see that he meant every word he said. Every promise he swore to do. His eyes were showing that he was deeply sincere.

Adrian wiped her tears gently before taking her closer to his chest. She lay there with him on her bed. They were silent. Saying nothing. Just cuddling together as they joined their hands.

Rose for the first time in a very long time felt safe. Feeling some peace after all that time, it wasn't long till sleep found her between Adrian's arms. He also didn't took a lot of time before falling asleep as well. He felt happy and more than satisfied with his Rose cuddling to him sleeping between his arms though he felt a lot of pain for what she was suffering.

X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X~X

Okay, that's done.

I hope you're not bored.

And I hope more you didn't hate me for Dimka being her brother. I wasn't up for fights over Rose's heart. I mean she has a lot to deal with.

Review please and I'll have the next chapter soon for you guys.

Much much love,

Dr. Rose Hathaway :)
