Chapter 6 - Acceptance
Christians POV
OMG! This has been the best day of my life. I kissed Rose! Rose! She told me she loves me and Oh god, I love her! I love her so much. We walked out of the church, hand in hand. I was about to ask her to be my girlfriend when Stan came storming towards us, yelling for us to go to our dorms. Gosh, he had to ruin it. Anyway, I hope Rose considers herself as my girlfriend, I just wanted to tell her to make sure. I can't wait to see her tomorrow...
Roses POV
With 45 minutes till Curfew I went to find Lissa. God, this is when I wished the bond worked both ways.
I jogged/skipped to her room first. Yes, first time lucky! I knocked and she pulled opened the door with a smile on her face.
"Rose!"
"Hey, Liss" I greeted back "So, there's like 40 minutes till Curfew, i thought we could hang out. It seems like we never get to hang out any more -"
"Yeah, I wonder why that is" she interrupted with a slight scowl
I frowned a little, walking in and sitting down on her bed "What does that mean. I something wrong Liss?"
She sighed and waved the remark off, sitting down as well "Sorry, Rose. I'm just being a bitch, it's nothing"
I was a little unsure, but decided to drop the subject "Oh, okay. So, we got like 15 minutes. Not long but it's something, what you wanna do?"
She thought for a bit "Let's just catch up" she said with a smile "What's been going on with you?"
I took all my Moroi strength to stop from blushing. I was thinking about Christian and our kiss. It was so full of Passion that I nearly burst. Should I tell Lissa? Well, she's gonna know anyway from the bond. Maybe she already knows and is just testing me. Oh.
I decided just to be open and honest with her, after all she was my best friend. "Well, you know...Classes, working on our elements, which I still haven't figured what mine is by the way. And well... I've been hanging with Christian a little. Also...just now, we kissed" I looked back up to her, I had not realised till now that I had been looking at the floor. Christian wasn't Lissa's favourite person but hopefully if she loved me enough, she could like him too.
To my surprise, Liss started laughing
"Rose, I'm not upset. I mean, at first I was but then I-"
"What do you mean at first?" I eyed her
"Uhhhhhhh..." She looked at anything but me trying to stall.
Then it hit me
"YOU WERE IN MY HEAD?!"
She looked back at me and tried to calm me "Rose, I'm sorry. I went in to see how you were. I pulled out as soon as your lips touched...again"
I took a deep breath to calm myself. Liss was only looking out for me.
"It's fine Liss. So what's going on with you? Any romance in your life?"" I asked wiggling my eyebrows
She looked down with a smile and stayed silent. I didn't need a bond to figure this out
My eyes widened "OMG you do! Okay, spill! Tell me everything." I was practically bouncing. Now this was my nature
I kept pestering at her trying to get her to tell me who he was. She kept her mouth shut on that one. She just told me that she really liked him and he might like her back, but she wasn't sure. Also, she stated that they had a moment and she thought he was gonna kiss her until they heard a sound. Hmm...who could this be? C'mon Rose this is your thing! You must be able to figure this out! Eventually I had to return to my room, but to be honest I was getting quite tired. Tomorrow is going to be good, I cannot wait to see Christian .I instantly fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
I woke up Early in the morning and stretched. For once I actually didn't dread the day. I jumped in the shower then combed my hair, deciding to leave it out today, long and wavy. I put on my purple singlet and skinny jeans then headed down to breakfast. On the way there I saw Lissa
"Liss!" I greeted with a smile "What are you doing here? Aren't you training with Guardian Belikov?"
She shook her head "Nope. He's out today doing some Guardian stuff" I swear she looked a little sad at that
Me? I didn't mind at all. "Awesome! Let's go to breakfast, I'm starving!" I said grabbing her arm and leading her away
Lissa POV
"Awesome! Let's go to breakfast, I'm starving!" Rose bounced, pulling me by the arm
"Okay, Rose, I can walk by myself" I chuckled
She shrugged with a smile and let go of my arm. We got to the Breakfast line and I loaded up my plate. Rose looked at me like I was crazy, but didn't say anything because she was used to it by now. I walked/skipped over to a table where Mason, Natalie and Eddie sat.
"Hey guys"
They all looked up and smiled "Hey" they all greeted back.
Rose smiled and took a seat next to Eddie, I sat oppostite her next to Mason.
Eddie looked down at my plate and smirked "Wow, Liss. Bring food for everyone?"
I gave him my man eater smile "Yeah, but you guys ain't gettin any" I winked and he shook his head. Eddie was a Dhampir like me, and was never serious. That's what I liked about him. He didn't take the world too seriously like others did.
I looked at Rose, she was scanning the dining hall, maybe looking for someone.
Natalie turned her attention towards her, of course, wanting to suck up to a Royal even though she was Royal herself "So Rose, your hair looks pretty today. Mine always looks rubbish, how'd you do it?"
It didn't seem like Rose heard as she continued looking around the room
"Rose?" Natalie asked again
She turned and face Natalie "Huh? Oh sorry, Nat. Thank you. I Just wash, dry and comb like everybody else. And don't worry, your hair looks perfect" She said with a breath taking smile
Natalie smiled with the compliment and being able to make Rose happy. I had to hold back my laughter What a suck up.
Suddenly I heard Roses voice in my head. Where is he?
Where was who?
Rose sighed I turned back to the table, but quickly glanced back again and grinned like a child given candy. I was talking with Mason when Rose stood up, the grin getter wider
"Sorry guys, I have. I'll see you before or after class"
"Do you want me to come, Rose?" I asked, worried about her safety
She shook her head "No, It's fine Liss. See ya guys" She waved goodbye to everyone and skipped away
I frowned a little then slipped into her head. She was embracing Christian. I mentally chuckled There's just no breaking them up. I'm glad Rose has found someone. I smiled to myself and continued talking to Mase before we had to go to class.
Christian POV
I strolled into the Dining Hall, hoping to see Rose. I did. She was turned round and when she saw me a smile lit up her face. I looked at who she was sitting with. Mason - cool. Natalie -cool. Eddie - cool. Lissa-oh. I don't think she'll be happy to see me so made a motion for Rose to come over. She told the group and waved goodbye before skipping over to me. As she was skipping to me, I jogged over to her, meeting her half way and picked her up. I hugged her to me as I spun her around twice before setting down, she was still laughing. I reached down cupping her face and kissed her,deep and passionate. God, she is so beautiful
"Rose, what I wanted to ask you yesterday before Stan interrupted is...will you be my Girlfriend?" I asked
She frowned a little "Wasn't I already?"
Oh. "Yeah yeah! I just was checking to see if you knew because sometimes you don't know and-" I rambled and she stopped me with a kiss.
"Of course I will be your Girlfriend, Christian" She smiled once we had pulled apart "Do you wanna come eat with us?"
I grabbed her hand and started leading her away to the attic "No, I want you all to myself for now" I smiled and she smiled back.
Roses POV
We got to the Attic and he sat down on the bench, then patted the spot in between his legs for me sit. I gulped and tried to steady my breathing. I went over and sat down, my back and head resting on his chest and my legs stretched out on the rest of the bench. He wrapped his arms around my waist
We sat in a comfortable silence, neither of us needing to say anything
"How are feeling?" He whispered into my ear
I shivered, Oh god
"I'm feeling calm and relaxed. I may have to steal this place from you" I laughed
"How about we share it?" He smiled
I smiled back and turned around to face him. He is so gorgeous, his Ice blue eyes looked back into mine. He slowly leaned in and I closed the space between us. Our lips met and fireworks exploded in my head again...
Christians POV
Our lips met and all I could see is fireworks. It was so passionate. She sat up and straddled me again whilst my hands travelled up her top, I stopped to see if it was okay with her and she responded pushing my hands to her again before wrapping her arms back around my neck
I don't know how long we kissed for but I felt like I was in Heaven.
Suddenly, I pulled away
"Rose, we have to get to class!" I said, even though I didn't want to
She nodded reluctantly and got off my lap. She quickly looked out of the window "People are just leaving for classes"
We walked out hand in hand, talking about anything and everything. It felt so right being with her. People looked shocked and whispered but we didn't care. Damn it, we had different classes and wouldn't see each other till last half class. This is going to be a long.
Lissa POV
The first set of classes were okay, but that's only because Rose was them with me, Alberta wanted us to know how it was like to be standing in the class watching over Moroi. Oh yeah, and Jesse tried to mess with Rose again. I sure sorted him out
FLASHBACK
The class was set to work on their elements some more, Rose was still trying figure out what hers was and since I was in there her, I was helping. Christian was also in that class and came by to help Rose too. They both seemed much happier in each others Presence. He tried to teach her fire, but she just couldn't get the hang of it. I felt her frustration and determination. She was really trying
"It's okay, Rose. We can always try again another time" I soothed
She nodded and smiled "Yeah I know, it's just so frustrating that I can't get any elements and haven't even specialised" she said burying her head in her hands. Christian put his arm around her and she leaned into his chest.
"Having a little trouble, Rose?" A sarcastic voice came
I turned around to see Jess there with a smirk. I just wanted to punch him, the Dickmunch!
I glanced back at Christian, his face looked stormy. Rose looked up at him, putting her hand on his chest. He breathed in deeply trying to calm himself and looked down at her, she smiled up at him and kissed his cheek (It's basically illegal to kiss in class). That seemed top calm him.
"God, are you that stupid that you can't even do one element? One?!" He held up his finger, empathizing.
That was it. I wasn't known for keeping my mouth shut in these situations.
"Fuck off Jesse! Is this how you live your life? Laughing at your own stupid "Jokes", you know no on laughs with you, they're just laughing at you! I'm sure a lot more people would like you if you weren't such a Shit face! Your friends aren't your friends, they just pretend to be for reputation! So why don't you just go and fuck your blow up doll!"
The whole class was silent, including Jesse, was silent. Christian was smirking and Rose was shocked but I could see the humour dancing through her eyes. After about 5 long seconds of silence, everyone burst out laughing. All at Jesse. He looked murderous.
I smiled triumphantly and strutted back over to Rose and Christian. The class never stopped talking about that and Jesse kept his head down. Ahhh, Life is Good
END OF FLASHBACK
I walked into the Lunch Hall to see Rose, Christian, Mason and Natalie sitting down. Natalie looked at Christian and Rose with envy. Wait, does she have a crush on Christian, nooooo
"Hey guys" I greeted
"Hey!" They all greeted
Mason continued talking to Rose and Christian "You know you two are like the biggest thing since...forever! Even the Guardians are talking about it!" They just shook their heads and laughed
Christian turned to Rose "So, Sweetie pie how was your classes?" He smirked
"Sweetie pie?" Rose shook her head with a smile "Fine, though a bit stressful. And yours?"
"Oh...you know. Whispers, stares. All that stuff" he shrugged. She just looked at him whilst eating.
Mason turned to me with a grin "So, Liss. Heard about your big scene with Jesse, everyone's talking about it" he was grinning like a idiot
I just shrugged "Yeah well, everyone was thinking it, I just said what they thinking"
Everyone laughed but Natalie. She stood up and walked away.
"What's up with her?" Christian asked not a bit concerned, but Rose was. She looked in the direction Natalie walked away in with a frown, she smiled again when Christian squeezed her hand and kissed her lips. Love filled her up in her emotions and she turned back to the group again.
Mason POV
I looked at Christian kiss Rose, aww. They were so in love and it was so sweet. I wish I could be like that with someone...Maybe Lissa...
Lissa POV
By the end of classes, I started missing Dimitri. Stupid Guardian stuff. I decided to go to the Gym, just to practice or do some runs. I looked heard laughing and looked down the hall to see Rose and Christian, close and cuddly whilst holding hands
"Hey, Guys"
"Hey Liss" Rose greeted and Christian smiled "Where are you going?"
"I'm just going to practice in the Gym by myself, since Dimitri isn't here" I felt a little sad saying the last bit
"Okay, well see ya Liss" Rose waved with a grin. Rose was rarely sad. I think that's what Christian and I both love about her. I started walking away, but then heard more giggling. I looked back again to see Rose up against the wall with Christian kissing her neck. I started walking faster, I didn't want to see that.
I entered the gym and gasped at the sight before me
