Chapter Twenty Eight:
"Which dress?" I asked as looked at the ten different row of dresses on my bed. Tonight was the opening for the cafe and I was totally nervous. Adrian and I still haven't choosen the name of cafe and time was running out.
Narrowing her light brown eyebrows, Jill put her hands on her skinny hips and stared at the different types of dresses. "I dunno...I'm stuck between the purple and the grey."
"Well, that's no help!" I shouted, frustated.
Jill looked around the room and her green eyes fell on the shoe area. Jill went over there and picked out some gold high heels. "The purple dress with this dress and a black necklace."
I smiled at her as I took the shoes from her and picked up the dress. "Thank you."
"You're most welcome," Jill replied as she sat on my bed, being careful not to sit on any of my dresses. "What do you think I should wear? Jason is going to be there tonight and I wanna look good."
"How are you two anyway? You've been dating for about-"
Jill cut me off, "Nearly two months and yeah, we're good...We're actually thinking of taking it to the next step..."
I turned to her wided eyed. Normally parents would would calmly sit down with their kids and talk about sex. But the first word that came out of my mouth was: "What!"
Laughing, Jill answered, "Having sex, Rose."
Blinking and taking deep breaths, I said "Have you guys talked about it then?"
Jill nodded, "Yeah, well a little anyway. But does it matter when its with someone you love?"
"So you guys have said the L word to each other?"
"Not yet," she admitted, "But I just know he feels the same way."
Putting my dress and shoes to one side, I sat carefully next to Jill. "I'm not telling what to do or anything. But Jill, you're still fifteen. And I know you say you love him, but that could change in another two months and you would have already done it and regretted it."
"Look, I know I must sound like one of those puppy love teenage girls, but I'm not and I know Jason is the guy I want to be with." Jill told me with a bright smile on her face.
I gave her a small smile and slowly said, "Okay, but if you're that sure, then we have to get you protected."
"Protected?"
"The pill."
"The pill?"
I gave her a look.
Jill giggled, "I'm messing and sure, I'll totally go on the pill if that's what you want."
I nodded, "Alright, I'll book a doctor's appointment, but you have to wait until then, okay?"
Jill nodded.
You know, I never thought I would have "the sex" talk.
"Where are Jill and Scott?" I asked looking around the living room. I was dressed in the purple dress with the gold shoes. I was carrying a purple purse which went with the dress and the black coat I was going to wear while walking over there.
Dimitri was dressed in one of his sexy suits, which made me want to rip it off of him. "They left about ten minutes ago, they wanted to see how you made the cafe come to life." He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "And plus, I was wondering if we could get some alone time."
I smiled at him, "You do know I have to be at the opening too?" Dimitri kissed my neck, making me moan. "As much as I want to do this...I need to be at the cafe."
He groaned as he lifted his head back up, "Sorry, I just feel like we haven't been...together in a while and you're mind is always somewhere else."
I sighed, "I'm so sorry Dimitri, I really want this, but...I think Dad and Mom are keeping something from me. Something big."
"Like what?"
"That's the thing, I don't know what. Mom lied to me about what academy she went to and she said she didn't know Derek! And I think Lissa might know something as well."
Dimitri did that cool one eyebrow thing. "Lissa? Why would you say that?"
I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know...but the way Dad and Lissa were looking at each other yesterday...I just got this feeling."
"Well, whatever it is, just know I'm always here for you, no matter what." Dimitri said, his voice filled with honesty and passion.
I smiled up at him, "And I promise you will get some of this," I pointed to my body, "Soon."
We kissed which felt like forever, until I stepped away, making Dimitri growl.
"Come on Romeo." I said grabbing his hand. "Time for the opening."
We laughed and talked as we made our way out, unware that tonight would be the worst night of my life.
When we arrived at the cafe, it was full yet as the party wasn't offically starting until seven thirty and it had only just gone seven. But there were a few people here, with Scott and Jill testing out the computers.
"You go on over to them," I said to Dimitri. "I got to find Adrian." He nodded and walked over to the two kids.
It wasn't that hard to find Adrian, he was behind the till flirting with one of our male workers.
"Adrian," I said, making the flirting smile on Adrian's face turn into a frown as the male worker walked off when I came over.
Turning to me, he said, "Oh come on Rose! He was totally cute and -"
"So straight," I added, nodding my head towards the male worker as he was flirting with a female worker.
"All well, there was no shame in trying." Adrian stated.
"Is everything ready then?" I asked.
Adrian nodded, "Yeah, but my aunt won't be here tonight."
I narrowed my eyebrows, "Why not?"
"Someone managed to get into her office and steal one of the files, I don't know what file it was, but sounded important."
I nodded and said, "Everything in your aunt's office is important these days."
LISSA'S POV
It was five minutes until eight and I was late for the opening. I had told Christian to go on without me as I knew I would be late. I had a good reason...well if you could call seeking into the Queen's office and stealing Rose's file a good reason. I had to tell her, I couldn't keep this to myself anymore. It was killing me! I know tonight wasn't the best of nights, but if Abe knew what I was doing, he would try to stop me. He couldn't keep this from Rose. This was Rose's life and she had a right to know.
I ran into the cafe, which wasn't so easy as the place was packed with Morois and dhampirs. I walked over to the main till where everyone was getting their drinks from to find Adrian.
"Adrian!" I shouted over the voice's of people, relieved to have found someone.
"Cousin, where have you been?" He asked.
"Doesn't matter, where's Rose? I need to talk to her, it's important." I said.
Adrian narrowed his eyes at me, "She's over at the computers with Dimitri, Jill and Scott."
I nodded and quickly made my way over to the computers, snaking my way thought the people.
Shockingly I found them five minutes later, Rose laughing along with the love of her life.
"Rose!" I shouted as I got to her.
She jumped at the sound of my voice and smiled, "Hey Lis..." Sensing the emotions through the bond, she said next, "Is everything alright?"
"Yes..No! I need to talk to you, now." I said, my voice cracking as tears burned in my eyes.
Rose nodded as she put her drink down, "Yeah, sure Lis. We'll go to the office at the back.
After having a quick word with Dimitri and giving him a peck on the lips, we got away from the crowd and into a hallway that lead to her office.
Where I was going to show her everything.
ROSE'S POV
Lissa and I walked into the office, with me closing the door softly behind me. Lissa looked very stressed and tired as black bags were forming under her eyes. I had a feeling through the bond that something had been bothering her for sometime and the thing between her and my Dad confimed it.
"Lis, what the hell is going on?" I asked as I turned to her.
Opening her bag, she said, "There's something you need to see."
I narrowed my eyebrows as she dragged out a file from her bag. "Hey, is that the file that's been sto-" My eyes widened, "Oh my god Lissa! You stole from the Queen?"
"It's important," Lissa stated, holding the file in her hands. "And it's not just any file, it's your file."
Slowly and carefully, Lissa handed me the file and let out a breath as she did it. Like she was finally free.
And she was right, it was my file, with my full name:
Rosemarie Kayla Hathaway
"Why does the Queen have my file?" I asked, sounding very confused.
"Open it," Lissa said, her voice showing how tired she was.
Unsure, I opened it and the first thing I saw was my birth certificate. On the top had my birth name which I found odd as it didn't end with Hathaway like I thought it would, it ended with: Mazur.
Then looking on the father's name I saw: Ibrahim Mazur
My father's name.
But as I trailed down to my mother's name, my breathing caught up in my throat and my felt as if my eyes were coming out.
Janine Hathaway wasn't on the mothers name part.
The name placed there was:
Quinn Mazur
DUH DUH ! MWAHAHAHAHAH! Well, the part you have been waiting for has been revealed...sort of anyway. The rest of the stuff will be revealed in the next chapter! I'm evil aren't I? MWAHAHAHA! Sorry, had to do that again :D... So, what the hell do you think is going on? What do you think will be revealed in the next chapter?
Let me know!
