Hey guys! Sorry this update is late! I've had a lot on lately, I had my prom just the other day and soon next month it's my 16th birthday! I'll properly update the day before my birthday.

But anyway, this chapter will be two weeks later and there will be no lemons...Sorry, I just don't feel comfortable about writing it.

Also I would like to thank everyone for their views on what chapter they liked and so on. It was really enjoyable to read them : )

But most people said the most dramatic chapter was when Rose fell through the lift and I loved writing that chapter...that makes me weird doesn't it?

Anyways, enjoy!

Chapter Twenty:

Two Weeks Later...

I finally had my cast off my arm, I was jumping for joy. I really hated those things. I had it taken off the other day. My ribs were still a little bruised but apart from that I was perfectly fine. Even though I wanted to, Dimitri refused to let me do anything around my new house. With the help of Abe – who was still around – they finished doing the house and Jill, Scott and I moved in a couple of days ago.

Speaking of Abe; he's been very protective over Scott and I ever since the whole thing. I even had to hit him at the back of the head because it got annoying most of the time. Like I told him too, he let Richard go with a warning. I mean, it wasn't really Richard's fault; he was just a man who lost his family and was still lost about it all.

But Sunday morning Dad will be leaving to go back to Turkey. Of course – for Scott's future safety – he will be staying with me. So tomorrow will be Dad's last day here and he's going to look after the kids for the day after they finished tutor. Dad has also grown to Jill and thinking of her as a daughter. I love this, all of us just so close.

Lissa has visited me a few times. She offered to heal me, but I refused. She left as soon as Jill arrived. As much as I was mad at her, I could never hate her. I knew she needed time, but how much time does someone need?

As I walked up the stairs to go to bed and after turning off all the lights. When I got to the top I saw a light coming through Jill's room. I rolled my eyes and opened her door.

I saw her at her desk at her new laptop that Abe gave her. She hadn't noticed me yet.

"Oi," Jill jumped and turned to me. "It's bed time, not laptop time."

Jill laughed, "Sorry, I just finishing off an e-mail to Mom."

I gave her a small smile. "How is she?"

She returned my smile, "Fine. She misses me, but she's glad I'm all together now."

I nodded, "Alright, bed now."

Jill laughed again as she sent the e-mail off, turned off her laptop and climbed into bed. I sat down on the edge of her bed.

"How you doing Ro?" Jill asked with her new found nickname for me.

"Better than ever, it's not every day you fall down a lift." I sort of joked. I would never forget falling down the lift, well I don't think it was something you would forget easily.

Jill rolled her eyes, "I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again."

"Neither would I."

We both laugh and then Jill randomly just says, "You'll make a great mother one day Rose."

I was taken aback by that, "What?"

She nodded, "Just look around Rose, how you look after me and Scott, it's hard to imagine that you're only still eighteen."

I smiled, "Well you are like family to me and I would look after Scott all the time." I looked at the clock to see it's nearly ten, "Okay, sleep time now."

Jill groaned as I got up and she got into her covers.

I turned around to her in the doorway and turned off the light. "Night."

"More like morning for humans." Jill muttered, "Night."

I closed the door and headed for my room.

I sighed tiredly when I closed my bedroom door behind me. Everything has happened so fast. As I looked around for some clothes for bed, my eyes rested on the red roses by my bed. Normally I wouldn't like rose stuff, but I loved these because they came from the one person I loved the most.

Dimitri.

Before you ask, I haven't had the chance to tell him I love him. There has never been the right moment and I don't even know if he feels the same.

I remembered then the other reason Dad was having Jill and Scott tomorrow, Dimitri and I were going out together. And then hopefully...

I sighed again before getting into some night clothes and going to bed.

"Scott!" I called from the kitchen, running around like there was no tomorrow while Jill was calmly eating her cereal. "If you don't get your butt down here, I will be forced to get you down here myself!"

"God," Jill said after taking a bite out of her cereal, "You sound like my Mom when we're going camping."

I had no time to roll my eyes at her as I was too busy getting Scott's lunch ready.

I was getting annoyed now.

"SCOTT!" I screamed so loud I was sure even the Queen could hear me.

"Sorry!" Scott shouted as he ran into the kitchen, "I was looking for my history book."

I sighed as I finished putting Scott's lunch in a plastic box.

"Okay guys, you know the drill." I said to them.

Jill nodded, "Don't trust anyone we don't know, got it."

They both grabbed their stuff and shouted goodbyes to me before leaving.

I leaned back on the stool, catching my breath.

Claire gave me one of her bright smiles, "Rose!" She hugged me tightly – which was surprising since she was almost three months pregnant – and I hugged her back. Claire and I have gotten close over the last two weeks. Even though she is the one who was pregnant, she was looking after me after I fell through the lift.

When we broke the hug, she let me through. It was an apartment with two rooms, much more bigger than my last apartment.

"Where's Mason?" I asked as I took my jacket off.

"He's on duty today," Claire said as we both walked into the kitchen. "He told me to tell you that he said hi."

I smiled, "Well tell him I said hi back."

She laughed, "Will do." She started making tea. "How are you anyway?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that question?" She gave me a look, "I'm fine! Okay! How are you?"

Claire nodded, "Good, better now that you're better." There was silence for a moment. "Lissa called, wondering how you are."

"Well if she's worried, she should come on down and see me." I muttered, getting more and more angry at Lissa for not seeing Jill and because she wasn't seeing Jill, that meant she couldn't see me.

"I know, I said the same thing, but..." Claire didn't finish and honestly, even I couldn't finish off that sentence. I felt like ever since the Jill thing happened, I have no idea who Lissa is anymore.

I still had some bruises around my body, but some of them were easily covered with make-up. I wore a cream dress that reached above my knees and over my shoulders. (AN: Look on my profile to find the dress)

I had my hair up in a high pony trail and with smoking eye make-up on. I had to admit, I was pretty nervous.

Dimitri and I haven't been alone since the whole "I fell down the lift" thing, and well, I was nervous.

Then a knock on the door made me jump from my thoughts and run to the house door. I quickly looked at myself in the mirror by the door before opening it.

And I was stunned by what I saw on the other side of the door.

It was my Russian God.

He was all dressed up smartly for our date and I couldn't say any better he looked more like a god with that on.

When Dimitri saw me he inhaled a breath, controlling himself. I was doing the same.

We just stood there for a minute, taking each other in.

I broke the silence, "So...where are you taking me?"

He smiled, as he put his large hand towards me. "A surprise."

I groaned as I put my hand on top of his. "What? Come on, you know I hate surprises!"

Dimitri chuckled, "I know."

I locked the house door and we walked to his car, hand in hand.

"I never thought you would take me to something so...stunning." I muttered as we walked towards the human restaurant. It sort of looked like a castle, but with bright lights and a red carpet that looked like we were in Hollywood.

"It's not as stunning as you."

I blushed and looked away. God I hated it when he did this to me. Getting me all girly.

Inside the restaurant was more stunning than the outside. The waiter quickly showed us to our table and we sat down.

As we looked at our menus for what we wanted, I looked up to Dimitri across from me and asked, "Are you sure you can afford this?"

Dimitri laughed and looked over his menu to me, "Why do you doubt me Roza?"

I rolled my eyes, "I'm just worried you're spending your money just for a dinner. I mean have you seen the costs for one meal!"

He just laughed again and put his hand over mine. "Don't worry, it's all on me."

"But-"

"No buts just pick what you want and leave me with the worrying." I smiled at him and returned looking at the menu.

When we finally ordered Dimitri and I talked about random stuff, like movies, tv shows, books...anything.

And it was surprisingly nice. Relaxing.

"Whoa, whoa, wait!" I said as we walked out of the restaurant. "How many wives have you had?" I asked while laughing.

Dimitri shook his head while trying to hold his laughter. "It's not like that and they were Barbie dolls." He gave a little chuckle, "And my sisters forced me to marry them when we were little."

I couldn't stop laughing as we got to the car, "Can I ask? What was your first wife's name?"

He didn't answer.

I grinned, "Oh my god, you still remember her name! Tell me!"

"No way," He replied.

"Please!" I gave him the puppy eyes.

He sighed and looked at me "Rosaline."

I swear my jaw dropped, "What?" I blinked.

"Rosaline. The day my sister, Sonya, got the doll when my mother got roses for the kitchen and called the doll Rosaline." I saw a faint smile.

I smiled back, "And now you got a girlfriend named Rosemarie, what are the odds?"

He opened the car door for me as he said "Great odds."

It was nearly midnight when Dimitri and I got to my house. We both stood outside my house and we were both smiling like idiots.

"So..." I started but couldn't finish. The sexual tension in the air was noticeable and even Dimitri could feel it too.

"I better be getting back so you can get some sleep." Dimitri said, him polite self.

"Why don't sleep here tonight." I asked but it really wasn't a question.

He chuckled, "I really don't want to sleep on the sofa."

"I wasn't talking about sleeping on the sofa."

Before he could say anything else I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. He quickly got the message and kissed me back as he put his hands on my hips tightly. He pulled me closer to his body, making no space between us.

We managed to get open the door and into the house. Dimitri kicked the door close behind us and put me up against the wall. He lifted me up more as he grabbed both of my thighs and wrap them around his waist. Both of my hands rubbed his shoulders and pulled off his black jacket. It fell to the floor. The kisses were enough for me not to notice that we were going upstairs, with Dimitri's arms locked around me tight.

Running into my bedroom, and slamming the door – which really didn't need to be closed – and Dimitri gently laid me on the bed.

Soon after that our clothes came off one by one.

Ever since I was fourteen I was told by other girls at my academy that sex hurt and some girls regretted losing their virginity. Saying that they wished that they waited first. So I waited, not wanting to regret it.

And I knew now, as Dimitri and I were making love, I knew I wasn't going to regret it. As my first time would be with someone I loved.

When it was over, I hurt a little but I felt brilliant. My head was on top of Dimitri's heated chest and his arms wrapped around me almost protectively.

It was silent until he broke it with the three words that I didn't see coming.

"I love you, Roza."

My heart stopped, time stopped.

I looked up at him to meet his dark, dark eyes with a smile on my face.

"I love you too."

And then he kissed me.

LISSA'S POV

"How are the wedding plans going." Tatiana asked we walked into her office for another lesson on polities.

"Good, everything is nearly done. Just got to get the outfits." I told her.

She nodded, "Every good, now could you wait here. I've got to see to something quickly."

I shook my head, "No, please go on. I don't mind."

Tatiana nodded once again before walking back out.

I walked around her office until I got to her desk. I stopped when I saw something. A name.

A file with the name: Rosemarie Kayla Hathaway.

I looked around the office before quickly sitting down at the desk and opened the file.

As I read the first page, I found something that shocked me to the core.

DUH DUH DUH!

Another cliffie!

Okay, Christmas is coming up! What do you think will happen at Christmas time for the gang? Let me know.

Also what did you think of Rose and Dimitri finally making love?

Hope you enjoyed this chapter :)
