Chapter Fourteen:

Two Days Later...

"Green and purple?" I asked Jill, "Seriously?"

We were a shop at Court where they sold paints and other things for houses. We were just picking colours to paint our rooms. Scott had chosen dark and light blue for his walls; I had chosen cream and light purple. And now Jill had chosen dark green and dark purple.

For the last two days Jill has been getting better. She started seeing a therapist yesterday and her eating has gotten good. Her things also arrived yesterday, so the apartment was filled with so many things. But right now, everything was...quiet.

"Yeah," Jill said looking at the two paints in her hands, "I'm random like that."

I laughed, "Fine," I looked around for Scott. "Scott!" I called.

He came running down to us, "Ready!" He shouted.

We went to pay for the paints and other things we also got from here.

Jill turned to me and said, "Who's going to help us, because we can't do this alone."

I smiled, "That's where Plan C comes into view."

Jill rolled her eyes, "Again with the alphabet plans."

We quickly paid and went outside.

I paused and turned to the kids. "You guys go on to the house, I just need to make a call."

"Okay," They both said and grabbed each other's hands and went on. The two had gotten close over the last two days. Almost like brother and sister.

I grabbed my cell phone out and called.

Then that sexy Russian accent answered, "Belikov."

"Hathaway," I said trying to do it in the same tone he had, but failed as I had a cheesy grin on my face.

"Roza," He breathed, "How are you? I haven't heard from you in a while." Dimitri asked.

I bit my lip, "Yeah...I'm sorry about that. It's been all drama."

"Why? What's happened?"

"I'll tell you when I see you. You aren't busy are you?" I asked.

"No of course not, why?" He asked.

"Well I need your help with something, could you meet me a place?"

"Sure, where?"

I gave him the address and hung up. I raced down to my new house. The house looked big on that outside; it looked newly built with white window frames and a white door. It was already wide open (kids these days). When you first walk in the hallway is straight and slim and leads right to the stairs. But in the hallway are two doors, one leading to the big kitchen and the other to big living room. When you get into the living room, it also leads to the back garden. Upstairs leads to the three bedrooms. I – of course- had the master bedroom, whilst Jill and Scott had the other two rooms (which were around the same size as each other.)

I walked into the empty living room to find Jill and Scott on the floor flipping through magazines.

"Hey guys, ready to get started soon?" I asked as I sat on the floor with them.

They both looked up at me and nodded.

"Who's going to help us?" Jill asked.

I smiled, "Dimitri."

Scott's eyes lit up, "Really! Could he help me with my room?"

I nodded, "Since you are the youngest."

"Yes!"

"Hey, isn't Dimitri the guy from that dinner we had the other night at Lissa's?" Jill asked.

I nodded, "Yeah, he's my boyfriend."

Jill smiled, "I'm happy for you Rose."

Just then there was a knock on the door. I got up, went through the hallway and answered it. And it was my sexy Russian god.

His smile almost made me melt. "Hello Roza." He said coming towards me and wrapping his long strong arms around my waist.

"Hello Comrade." Then we kissed. Like all the times we kissed I felt like I was flying in mid air.

When we broke apart he asked, "Comrade?"

I shrugged, "You have a nickname for me, so I came up one for you."

He chuckled, "You are very random Roza."

"Why thank you Guardian Belikov." I kissed him again.

When we broke apart again, he asked. "Why am I here?"

"Because Comrade, we need your help." I grabbed his hand and dragged him in the living room where Jill and Scott were. "You remember Jill, right?" I asked pointing at Jill who gave Dimitri a friendly, shy wave.

He smiled to Jill, "Yes, Lissa's sister."

I forced a smile this time, "Yeah...well she is going to be staying with us for a while and well...the Queen gave me this house."

Dimitri looked surprised, "The Queen just gave you a house."

"I was as shocked as you are." I stated and then pointed to the paints. "Could you help us out and help us paint?" I gave him my puppy eyes.

He chuckled as he took off his duster, "Where do I start?"


"Well, I'm done." Jill said as she walked into my soon to be room. I was painting the third wall of the room when Jill walked in. I turned to her with a tired smile on my face. "You look tired."

"That's because I am," I said, dropping to the ground. "You sure you're done?"

Jill nodded and leaned on the doorway, "Thank you again for letting me stay."

I smiled, "To be honest, I enjoy having you here."

"Alrighty then, I'm going to see if Scott and Dimitri are done yet."

I nodded and watched her leave.

I quickly got back to work.

A few minutes later I felt big, strong arms going around my waist and a strong smell of aftershave. I hadn't even heard footsteps.

I looked over my shoulder to him, "Hello, I guess you're done with Scott's room."

He smiled, showing his white teeth. "More than done." Then he kissed me

I dropped my paint brush to the floor and wrapped my arms around his neck. Wanting him closer. This kiss was enough to make anyone fall on the floor; that would explain why I actually was on the floor now.

The make-out session was becoming more heated up as Dimitri was on top of me. His large hands went all around my body. But his left hand stopped at my thigh and smoothed it up and down, which gave me goose bumps all around my body. His other hand was in my hair.

My hand ran down his chest towards his—

Someone coughed making me and Dimitri jump apart. I looked up at the doorway to see Jill, smirking at us too.

"You know," She started, "If Scott was the one who caught you, it would of been scarring for him." My cheeks went red with embarrassment. "Me and Scott are going to head back to the apartment, you coming?"

I blinked and said, "Ugh...I'm just going to finish up here and meet you there."

She looked at Dimitri, "Riiightt, you 'finish' up here, I'll see back at the apartment."

Then she left.

I looked at Dimitri who was looking right at me.

Then we burst into laughter.


Me and Dimitri managed to get my room done and left the house. Like always, Dimitri walked me home. I was still overcome with that make-out session we had just before Jill broke us up. It felt nice and well, heated.

When we got to my apartment door, Dimitri said, "I guess you won't be living here for very long."

I shook my head, "No, I'm actually going to miss this small place."

Dimitri sighed, "Jill told me."

I looked at him, "Told you what?"

"Everything. Why she's staying with you, everything."

I breathed, "I know it's stupid and –"

"Thoughtful." Dimitri cut me off.

I raised my eyebrows, "Really?"

He nodded, "It's not every day when a guardian Dhampir takes responsibly for a Moroi child, and I think it's very brave of you."

I smiled at him, "Well...goodnight."

Just then, he grabs me of the back of my hair and pulls me into a hot and passionate kiss. I kissed him back with everything I had which made me think I might have bruised lips in the morning.

The kiss then ended with him saying, "Night Roza."

Then he left.

I opened the door to hear childish screams. My guesses were that they were playing Snakes and Ladders.

I smiled as I looked around the kitchen for something to cook.

Suddenly my cell phone went off; I got it out of my pocket to see it had no caller ID.

I slowly picked up and said, "Hello?"

"Rose! Thank god!"

I narrowed my eyebrows, "Dad?"

I could hear he was out of breath. "Don't trust anyone! I'll be down there soon!"

Taken back, I replied, "What? Dad, what's going on?"

"Trust me on this one, keep Scott safe, I love you both and I'll see you soon!"

"Dad I-" Then he hung up on me.

I put down my cell phone, wondering what that was all about.

But I knew in my gut, that it wasn't good and it wasn't going to end pretty.
