We pulled back from the kiss, both of us grinning like fools.
"Let me take you home," Dimitri murmured, his forehead resting against mine.
Once inside our home, it was clear where we were headed, but I still needed to confess.
"Wait," I stopped him, his kisses too distracting, but I pushed him back a little. "There is something you should know."
He kept kissing my neck as he pulled off our coats. "What is it?"
"Marry me."
He pulled back and smirked. "I already asked, Roza. Remember?" He tapped my left ring finger where his grandmother's ring rested.
"I mean, marry me tomorrow."
He searched my eyes. "How?"
I smiled, feeling a bit self-conscious. "Lissa and Sydney. They kept planning the wedding behind my back. They told me three weeks ago and only because I needed a new dress."
It was the truth. Somehow, the girls thought things would work out in the end, and with Dimtiri remembering more each day, they hoped it would all work out in time. When they told me what they had done I was appalled and so mad with them, but once I calmed down, I thought it would be a good idea to surprise him with it.
It hadn't been my plan to tell him the day before, but time had slipped away from me. Between my new job as a paralegal in a law firm and working on my thesis, I'd barely had the time to be alone with Dimitri.
Today had been the first time I was able to go out with him since I talked to Lissa and Sydney.
Dimitri was silent, looking at me with an expression I couldn't read.
"Will you marry me tomorrow, Dimitri?"
He cupped my face, his smile radiant. "Yes."
"Yes?"
He nodded and kissed me ardently. "Yes, yes, yes… oh yes."
He picked me up and took me down the hall. Tonight we had a lot of things to celebrate.
