I Hate You, I Love You

Chapter 5 :

Saturday afternoon Rose was getting ready to see Ralf. He threatened her if he didn't like anything it'd be very bad for her.

So she had to look perfect. And she did.

Wearing a knee-length one-shoulder red dress, tight to the hips and started loosening under it. Red high heels and smoky make-up.

She'd to stop crying to be able to do such a thing which was hard for her. She felt sad for skipping the Valentine's with Adrian but she couldn't do it. Not with all the Ralf thing.

In fact, she was going to wear the same dress for that occasion if she didn't cancel it.

She made her hair into beautiful neat yet sexy curls and then she was done.

Eddie knocked on the door. It was only them since Christian took Lissa to a romantic getaway for the Valentine's.

"Hey there. You look smoky." He said brotherly.

She smiled weakly to him. "Thanks."

"Your ride is here." He said.

"My ride? Okay thank you." He nodded and left.

She took her purse and left downstairs. "Enjoy." Eddie said as she passed by the door.

In front of the house a limo was waiting. Ralf in a limo? Yeah right.

She shrugged and walked to the black limo. The door opened and Adrian came out.

She gasped. "Adrian, what are you doing here?"

Adrian smiled. "You look amazing. Great. Beautiful."

"You still didn't answer my question." She said.

"I came to take you to a date since your bastard ex can't make it." He said with a smirk.

"What do you mean?" She asked confused.

Adrian took a bag from the car and handed it to her. "That's everything he'd for you. Every tape and every picture. Nothing left with him. And you'll find a very interesting tape if you want revenge. Which I recommend."

Rose gasped. "You're not kidding, tell me you're not kidding."

He shook his head. "I'm for sure not kidding."

She screamed and jumped to his arms taking him off guard. "Oh Adrian, thank you thank you thank you thank you lots and lots and lots."

Adrian chuckled hugging her back. "You're very much welcome, Pretty Girl."

"Oh god, I can't believe this. I'm so happy. And I'll be happier when I burn them."

He smiled. "I can arrange that." Then he sighed and looked at her deeply in the eyes. "Listen Rose, you got hurt a lot and I didn't make it easier for you so here is the deal. I'm giving you the opportunity to leave. I'm freeing you of your promises. You don't have to come to a late Valentine's date if you don't want to."

She looked at him deeply. "Are you serious?"

He nodded. "Deadly serious. We'll be friends if you want to. I don't want you to suffer more. You'd more than enough."

She stepped closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "What if I didn't want to? What if I'm loving going in a date with you? And maybe another one and another one?"

Adrian looked at her. She was smiling playfully but she was serious. He grinned wrapping his arms around her waist. "Then we're going to have lots and lots of lovely amazing romantic dates for the rest of our life together."

"Really?" She asked.

He nodded. "And maybe more." He said before he pressed his lips to her and she moaned as she kissed him back.

"The best kiss ever." Adrian whispered to her before he helped her to the limo that took them to their first date.

"Can we burn them before we do the date? I'll like it that way." She told him.

He smiled. "Wish granted." Then he turned to the driver. "Adam, you heard the lady."

Adam nodded. "Yes, Mr. Ivashkov."

Adrian then closed the gap between them and turned to Rose. "You look amazing. More than beautiful and sexy and chocolate and candy and delicious."

Rose giggled. "Is that one of your lines?"

He shook his head. "I don't usually say such a thing. Believe me."

"Where are we going?" She asked.

"To burn those." He said eyeing the bag.

"I mean after that." She explained.

"It's a surprise." He told her.

"Tell me. Please." She said.

"Don't you trust me?" He asked.

"I do trust you but I want to know." She said.

Adrian handed her one of the two champagne glasses he was pouring and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Then relax and enjoy."

She sighed. "I hate you."

He laughed. "I'm sure you don't."

"I used to be."

"Yet that's not true anymore." He told her.

After they went to somewhere and burned everything they'd, Adrian took her to the limo and they rode it to the pier where a lot of boats, watercrafts, cruisers and yachts were.

"Wow." Rose said looking around after Adrian helped her out of the limo.

"What do you think?"

"It's amazing. The place, the atmosphere. It's perfect."

"Well, maybe you'll like what's next then." He said holding her hand and leading the way.

"Where are you taking me?" She asked.

"Nowhere. We're already there." He said with a smirk.

"Where?" She said looking around.

Adrian motioned at a big boat in front of them. "Rose, this is The Rosemarie."

She looked at him confused. "What?"

He chuckled helping her to the cruiser. "I'd it last summer after I met you. I couldn't stop thinking about you. I already knew your name but you were gone for the summer so.. I didn't know what to name it at the beginning but then I thought, what's better than your name. The Rosemarie."

Rose looked away and flushed. "That's.. amazing." She was short in words.

Adrian smiled while cupping her cheeks. "You're the amazing."

"But I don't want you to do a lot. I was going to like a sandwich on the beach with you."

Adrian shook his head. "Not tonight. It's our first date, I want it to be perfect, just like you. Though I know nothing can get to your perfection."

She flushed. "Adrian stop. You make me shy."

Adrian chuckled and kissed her forehead. "That's good. It means you like me."

She giggled and rested her hands on his hands. "Well, it's hard not to, Mr. Ivashkov. Apparently you did a lot of changes."

Adrian nodded with a smile. "It's all 'cause of you. You rock my world, Rose."

Then music were played and Adrian kissed her hands. "Will you honor my with this dance?"

She nodded. "I'd love to."

After dancing for several songs they needed someone to take them out of their small world. A waiter came and cleared his throat.

Adrian turned to him. "I'm sorry for the interruption Mr. Ivashkov but do you want us to delay your dinner?"

"What do you think my lady?" Adrian asked Rose.

She thought for a moment and shrugged. "It's better if we eat now." She got closer and whispered to him. "I couldn't eat for the whole day, you know 'cause of the situation." And she flushed.

Adrian chuckled and nodded. "Of course, I'm sorry for not noticing." He turned to the waiter. "We're coming."

The waiter nodded and left. "Adrian what's all of that about?"

"Well, I was going to ask you the same thing. I forgot what I ordered."

"Liar." She accused.

He laughed and nodded. "Yep. Now let's go we need to feed you."

"Tell me you've something good there." She said as he led the way to the table at the upper level of the windage where a two-person table was set. Candles were everywhere, on the table and around it.

"What do you think?" Adrian asked as she scanned the scene.

"I love it." She said and kissed him on the cheek.

He grinned happily and took her to the table. He pulled the chair for her and let her sit then he sat across from her.

The waiter came to pure some wine in their glasses and stepped back. "I hope you're hungry." He said as he gave them the small menus. A special ones.

Rose looked at the menu then to Adrian. "Do you want me to order whatever there and it'll be on the table?"

Adrian nodded. "Exactly. But.." He said taking the menu from her. "Since I know you very well and since you didn't eat for the whole day just like me I'd say that we're hungry." He gave the menus back to the waiter. "We'll have everything there."

The waiter nodded and left. "Adrian! You're crazy! I can't believe you."

Adrian laughed, to Rose it was like something beautiful and warm, like chocolate and velvet. "I'm crazy about you." He said and joined their hands together.

Rose blushed while playing with their linked fingers.

"Don't worry. I don't want you to say anything. It's just that I was dying to say that to you since we first met." He smiled warmly. "Say that you don't hate me like you used to do and that would be more than perfect."

Rose looked at him and he seemed serious. "I don't hate you like I used to do."

He grinned. "See, that wasn't hard. And I'm glad for that."

Rose looked at him and giggled.

"What's so funny?" He asked.

She shook her head. "Nothing. It's just that all of that. I wouldn't expect such a thing. I didn't think I would go in a date with you. I mean real date not just coming to take my notebook."

Adrian laughed. "I'm glad you did that by the way so we can have this amazing date together. Really Rose, even after that I changed more and more, you taught me a lot of things. You showed me and still do a lot of meanings of this life. A lot of love. I never knew a girl like you, my family's member are exceptions. And you, you're a whole different world. You're a universe all by yourself."

Rose smiled fighting her tears. She felt so loved, so important, so amazed and precious.

She stood from her chair still holding Adrian's hand. He looked at her confused till she came and sat on his lap. His smile became bigger as he wrapped his arms around her. "You better stick to your opinion about me." She warned him playfully before kissing him deeply.

He felt it was heaven, his own adorable heaven. When they pulled back he rested his forehead on hers and sighed. "Rose, my amazing Rose." He was saying her name, every letter like it was a prayer to him.

"Yes?" She said.

"I'm deeply madly a lot in love with you." He said with everything he'd.

She smiled and nodded. "I love you too."

Maybe it wasn't the same but Rose knew as the time passed that she was loving him more with every second. She felt that she might explode with all the love inside her. Her heart expanded like no heart could do.

To Adrian, from this only young woman, when she said 'I love you', it was more than enough.

They'd a very warm lovely dinner then they went to sit in the back of the boat. Adrian sat next to her and handed her another glass of wine.

He wrapped an arm around her shoulder as she rested her head back at him. "This is perfect." He murmured.

"Hmm." She answered with a smile. She was for the first time since a very long time short in words.

And it was 'cause a very good thing was happening.

They stayed together that way. Being together. Talking and enjoying each other company.

They stayed that way till they watched the sunrise together.

"Oh my god. This is the longest date I've ever had." Rose said while they were in the limo heading to her house.

"I hope you like it." He said kissing her hand.

She nodded. "Of course I did. It was amazing, Adrian. Perfect."

"I'm more than glad knowing that you think that." He said looking at her beautiful brown eyes.

When they got to her house he went out and helped her out. Taking her hand, he walked her to the front porch.

"I'm more than thankful for this amazing night, Rose. I can't thank you enough."

"Well, I'm more thank thankful Adrian. You did a lot to me. I can't think of any way to pay you back."

"How about lunch. Tomorrow?" He asked suggestively. He didn't want to push her.

She grinned. "Sure. Pick me at 1."

He nodded happily. "Sure."

Then he linked their hands together. "Thank you, my love."

"You're welcome." She said and he bent down to give her a very gentle amazing kiss. He was a real gentleman.

"Good night." She said when they broke the kiss as she handed him his jacket which he gave her earlier that night when she felt cold.

"Good night." He said sweetly as she entered the house and closed the door behind her.

She ran to the living room to watch him leaving to the limo. She smiled then threw her body at the couch giggling.

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

"Adrian, that's not funny. Let me take off that blindfold." Rose complained for the millionth time that night.

It'd been a year since their first date and it was the Valentine's day. Actually to be specific they didn't celebrate the real Valentine's anymore. They were celebrating it a day later.

Adrian who was holding her not to fall rolled his eyes. "I told you, not now. You need to be patient, love."

"I hate you." She mumbled.

He laughed. "No, you don't. Now trust me and relax, okay."

She sighed. "Are we there yet?"

"One more minute." He told her.

Rose sighed again and shut her mouth. She wasn't worried 'cause she trusted Adrian with her life but she was curious.

She still remembered how their first date led to another and another and another till they became inspirable couple.

That of course made them move together in the same house. She was beyind happy. She didn't feel they were rushing. Though they were living together after six weeks of dating.

She remembered how it was when he met her family's member one by one.

First it was Abe, her father, who came earlier than what was planned. He came to her unlocked room and interrupted a making out scene.

It was so embarrassing and he was shocked seeing his little dhaughter with a man in the same bed where they were almost naked. With Adrian's hands under her thong squeezing her bare butts and the other cupping her breast.

Her dad kept glaring at Adrian and she thought he was going to bring a gun to kill him.

What she did was keeping Adrian away for the whole weekend away from her brother who didn't meet him and her pissed of father.

But of course even when Dimitri and Mason left her father didn't left and he asked her to invite Adrian for the dinner.

She obligatory did. And it was a hell of a dinner.

Adrian came dressed all classy and appropriate with some flowers for her.

Flashback..

"For you, my lady." He said handing her the flower and kissing her hand.

She took it and grinned like an idiot. "Thank you."

He was about to kiss her when her father came to the porch. "Oh Adrian, glad you make it. C'mon in." He said with a polite yet dangerous tone.

"Hi sir." Adrian said and shook his hand.

End Of The Flashback.

Her father told her to check on the dinner while they men 'talk'.

She didn't know what really happened the only thing Adrian said was that her father made it clear that he didn't want his daughter to get hurt.

In her father's language that would be, 'hurt my daughter and I'll make you wish your death to have rest'. Adrian said he wasn't going to hurt Rose so he wasn't worried about losing his knees' bones.

Of course it was nothing compared to Dimitri and Mason.

They met when she and Adrian went to visit for the summer.

Adrian said that Abe was kinder and easier compared to his sons.

"Adrian, re we there yet."

"Be patient, love. Be patient." He told her.

While he was leading her to where their date taking place he thought about the past year. How much happened. And how happy he became. Rose made him the happiest man ever.

He couldn't stand being away from her. She was smart, intelligent, beautiful and everything anyone could think of.

He remembered what her brothers' said when he met them during summer.

Abe was much lighter.

He met Mason first and things started getting really scary.

Mason explained to him how much he knew how to fight and how much prizes he won in karate and wrestling.

He explained exactly what he'd do if Adrian hurt Rose by anyway.

Dimitri was something else.

He came to Adrian with his laptop and sat next to him while Mason took Rose to have a walk.

Dimitri arranged a big folder with a very scary pictures about death and murder, it didn't help that he was a lawyer, and showed them to Adrian. He made it clearly obvious that he wasn't going to hesitate doing that or this to him if hurt Rose.

Rose told him later when he asked how Ralf managed doing all of that with her scary brothers around.

Rose told him he was the only boyfriend of her they met since she graduated from high school. That made Adrian happy 'cause she wanted him to meet her family.

It was their first anniversary and he'd a big question that he wanted Rose to say yes for.

He prepared for all of that since Christmas when they spent it with her family and spent new year with his family who were adore Rose so much.

He asked his mother for the family ring so he could now propose to his girlfriend to be finally his wife.

"We're there." Adrian said and took off her blindfold.

Rose gasped with shock. She was in Hawaii with Adrian for the Valentine's and now he took her to an amazing beach where there was a table set for them in a very privet spot.

He'd her walking on a red carpet not to ruin her sexy amazing black heels that were matching her black short dress.

He'd his hands on her bare back pressing a kiss on her lips before sitting on his chair.

They'd an amazing dinner then Adrian took her to another spot. He sighed and..

"What's it Adrian?" Rose asked noticing his worry.

He shook his head. "Nothing."

One firework bombed to the sky to give a Rose for a shape. "Wow." She said charmed by the beautiful red rose.

"Rose." Adrian started.

She looked back at him. "Yes, babe."

He held her hands and knelt on one knee. Rose gasped.

"Adrian what're you.."

"Shh, let me do it, okay?" He started then took a deep breath. "Rose, we're together for one year and god help me it was the happiest most amazing charming year in my life. I love you so much and I can't live without you. You're amazing beautiful strong and sexy and intelligent. And I'm for sure head over heels in love with you unconditionally.

"When I wake up in the morning to find you next to me it's like I'm in heaven. Your kiss is more that amazing. Your touch is what I live for. You're more to me than life itself.

So here in the same day you confess your life to me a year ago could you please answer my question?"

He opened a small velvet black box with an amazing diamond ring. She knew it was antique and she was sure it was a heritage.

"Will you, Rosemarie Hathaway, make me the happiest man ever and marry me, 'cause I promise if you do I'll live my whole life to love, cherish and respect you. I want to get old with you. I want you to be the mother of my children. I want you to be the only woman for me and let me be the only man for you. Rose, will you marry me?"

Rose had tears running along her cheek as another firework bombed in the air 'Say Yes' was written now.

She looked down at Adrian and nodded. "Of course, I'll marry you. One hundred million times Adrian yes, I'll marry you."

He nodded. "You'll?"

She nodded. "I'll."

He put the ring in her finger and got up to hug her swinging her around. He shouted. "You'll marry me."

She giggled. "Yes, Adrian. I'll marry you. I'll marry you."

Adrian shouted to the sky happily. "She'll marry me. She said yes." And he attacked her lips for their first fiancé-fiancée's kiss.
