Chapter 19
I must have been staring at my phone for too long because it's little light shut off and the phone locked, no longer letting me read the message. I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared. Because I was truly terrified, someone was clearly out to get me and I had no idea who they were. I fumbled with the key and finally got it open. I was glad when I opened the door and no one was waiting for me. I hurried to the guest bedroom, and hoped no one woke up when I walked in. I quickly locked the door, and dove into the bed, covering myself up to my chin with the covers. Why did something like this have to ruin such a perfect night. Just when things were going right, something always had to get in the way. This person was obviously wanting me to stay away from Dimitri, and I could only guess who it was. But what if I was wrong? What if it was someone working with my father? What if they tried to hurt Dimitri for not turning me in?
I wanted to fall asleep, I wanted to dream about Dimitri and how wonderful everything was going to be with him now. But that text haunted me. How could so little words hold so much meaning. I was going to have to tell someone tomorrow. I thought about telling Christian and Lissa but I knew there was not much those two could do. I decided I would tell Dimitri. We had promised tonight to tell each other everything and be truthful, and I was not going to back out of that now. Especially when we had made such progress together. I wanted all of this to work out, no I needed everything to work out. I now had three very important people in my life, and I was going to keep them all close to me. Plus Dimitri had his resources, he knew how to work this network, and seemed to know an aweful lot about technology. If anyone could make the texts, and the threat stop it would be him. When he said he would protect me I believed him, he was determined, and it made my stomach flutter.
I let my mind wonder over the events of tonight and could not believe it. I was beyond the luckiest woman in this world. Dimitri was one in a million and I had been lucky enough to have him now in my life. He was giving up a lot to be with me, and that made him even more special in my eyes. He opened up to me and put himself out there for me to see him completely, that took a lot of guts. He had done something he swore to never do, all because he cared about me. I would spend forever making sure I was worthy of that trust. It was an amazing feeling to know all I had to do was be myself around him, I did not need to wear certain clothing, talk a certain way, or even do anything I didn't want to do with him. He respected me and cared for me just the way I was. Not only that he knew who I was, what life I had come from. His promise to have my father never find me made everything seem calmer, I knew he wouldn't let Abe take me. He knew how much I feared that life, and him along with Lissa, Christian, and I would stop at nothing to never go back there.
Before I knew it my eye lids started to droop, and a smile crossed my lips. Tonight had exhausted me, but it was more than worth it. I knew I would wake up tomorrow and we would find a way to solve everything. As long as I had Dimitri everything would work out, he would help me and I would help him whatever way I could. I had almost fallen asleep when my phone chimed again. I shot out of bed and my breathing hitched. I could not handle another cryptic text right now. I laid back down and decided I would look at it in the morning. I closed my eyes and my phone chimed again. I was not going to be afraid whoever this was, was not going to get to me, I reached for the phone and when I saw who it was from I released my breath.
Thank you Roza for everything... He really knew how to make my night and that nickname he had for me just made everything so much better. The way he said Roza was enough to make me stop breathing.
Goodnight sweet Rose... He was too sweet for words. I texted him back and soon fell into a deep slumber.
I woke up the next morning to the most annoying squeal I have ever heard. I had no idea where it was coming from but I desperately needed it to stop, whatever time it was, it was too early to wake up. I grabbed the covers and threw them over my head hoping the squealing would take the hint. But it did not. Before I knew it familiar hands were lifting me off the bed twirling me around. Christian really did have a death wish. I soon figured out the squealing was coming from Lissa when I saw her laughing from the middle of the bed I should have been laying in.
"So you have to tell us everything!" Lissa was practically jumping up and down on what I now considered my bed.
"Seriously guys?! You woke me up for this? I was having a amazing dream. And Christian put me down right now!" I should have thought my words over a little better because Christian instantly dropped me and I hit the floor with a loud bang.
"Christian that was not nice. Help her up now!" I couldn't believe as soon as the words left her mouth Christian picked me up and place me on the bed. I mumbled whipped to him and he rolled his eyes and sat down next to Lissa.
"So no seriously how did it go?" Christian actually looked like he wanted to know what happened.
"Well overall it was amazing. He took me to the beach and then made me dinner. And we talked a lot. He told me he really liked me. I mean I guess we are official now." Lissa lunged at me and I slammed onto the bed with her on top. "Liss...a cccca... n't brrr..ee.. ."
"Oh sorry I am just so happy for you, this is great. Isn't this great Christian?" He was looking fierce until she looked at him and his evil face faltered and he smile.
"Yea Rose I am happy for you." As soon as she looked away he rolled his eyes. Christian really was something else. Of course I could not say much because him and I pretty much were the same person, although I would never admit it out loud. It would boost his ego far too much, and that was the last thing I wanted to do.
"Actually I was wondering if he could come over tonight and join us for dinner. There is something really important we needed to tell you." I was nervous, I did not want them to freak out.
"Are you pregnant? Because I swear I will fucking kill the mother fucker." I rolled my eyes and shot him a glare. It was now my turn to shoot him some attitude. I mean seriously did he think I was going to sleep with him already, I was in no way a slut, though sleeping with one guy would not equal slut, I did want to wait. I wanted my first time to be special, with someone I deeply cared for, thinking about this made me smile because deep down inside I really truly thought Dimitri was the one.
"Christian! Really? We just started dating!"
"I'm just making sure. He's older than you. I don't want him taking advantage of you." He was looking way too serious about this. It was almost comical, he was being a hypocrite because I knew for a fact him and Lissa weren't being as innocent as Dimitri and I. If anything those noises from the other night said so.
"Whatever, I am an adult. Anyways I really hope it is fine for him to come over I'm serious it's important." Before he could say anything Lissa cut him off.
"That would be great Rose. I'll plan a nice meal." With that she grabbed Christian and told me she was making breakfast. And Lissa's food was always amazing. I had no idea where she learned to cook but Christian should take lessons.
The day seemed to drag. I knew it was because of tonight. I was worried about what they would do, what they would say. Well I was mostly worried about what Christian would do and say. I knew Lissa would understand and side with me on this. It was just in her nature to think the best about people. I tried to keep myself busy but nothing held my attention for more than a few minutes. Dimitri was suppose to arrive at 5 and since it was now 4 I decided to keep myself busy by getting ready. I pulled out some of my new outfits and stared at them for a while. I decided on simple jeans and a nice blouse, the one Lissa had insisted looked amazing on me it was a sheer red, and was loose yet sexy. By the time I showered and did my hair I heard the doorbell ring. And my palms started to sweat, this was it.
I ran out of the room as fast as possible and cut Christian off as he was about to open the door. He gave me a glare, but mine won out because he stepped back. I opened the door to reveal a very handsome, no a very hot and sexy Dimitri. He was wearing simple jeans and a black t-shirt but he made it look so good. I could not help but stare and he smiled at me when he noticed. He took in my outfit and gave me a very seductive look. Christian clearing his throat broke our wonderful moment. He always knew how to ruin a moment.
"Come in. Sorry about him, he was dropped when he was little. A lot." Christian slapped my arm but I waved him off. Plus his hits were like that one of a girl. Though from what I heard he had done some serious damage to Adrian. I shivered at the thought, and Dimitri caught it and held my arm to ask if I was ok. I nodded, and shrugged my shoulders.
I brought Dimitri to the living room and everyone started some small talk. I couldn't help but noticed how well we all fit together. We never seemed to run out of things to say to each other, and even when it was silent it was never awkward. Dimitri and I had decided to save the secret revealing until after dinner, we did not want to ruin anyones appetite especially since we knew Lissa had spent a lot of time planning this meal to be perfect. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, I had no idea how Christian was going to take this, I just hopped he would see that I trusted him, just like he had trusted Lissa with our secret.
Before I knew it we had finished dinner and Lissa was about to clear the plates. I stopped her and she looked at me confused. It was now or never. I was planning on backing out, but Dimitri squeezed my hand reassuring me it would all work out. We could not keep this a secret, they needed to know, I just feared what the reaction would be.
"Look Dimitri and I have something important to tell you. We need you to keep an open mind, and we need you to hear everything out until the very end. Christian that means no interruptions and no yelling. Just try and understand." Christian looked a little worried but soon nodded and motioned for us to go on. I looked over at Dimitri and he took a deep breath. His eyes showed determination, and he held his head high.
"I want you to first know that I care about Rose a lot. I would never do anything to hurt you or her." Christian was now really looking scared. And I squeezed Dimitri's hand to urge him on.
"Abe Mazur hired me to find you both." Christian shot up and I simply glared at him he got the message and sat back down. I just did not know how long he would stay down. I could see him visably shaking and could only hope he would control himself. It would not end well if he tried to challenge Dimitri, plus I wanted them to get along.
I wanted to get up and sit next to him, help him calm down. But I knew as soon as I left Dimitri's side he would attack him, and I was more worried about him getting himself hurt, then him actually hurting Dimitri. Dimitri was a little less than a foot taller than him and not to mention weighed a lot more. I just wanted him to listen to give him a chance. I knew it was going to take a lot of convincing but in the end he had to understand that Dimitri was on our side. If he wasn't he would have never told the truth, and I would not be here still in Boston.
"You should keep talking before I change my mind." I rolled my eyes at Christian and his attempt to be a cocky mother fucker. He really needed to learn to control that temper, cockiness did not suit him well.
"Like I said he hired me. I had every intent of bringing Rose back. But after meeting her and getting to know her I couldn't. It got harder after I met you and saw just how well off you both were. I haven't told Mazur anything about you guys. I didn't even tell him about Boston. Tasha showing up was a stroke of bad luck. But I know how to lose Abe. It's my job to. I could help you. I want to help you, and I also want to be with Rose." He looked straight into Christians eyes during his little speech I know he was trying to show Christian that he was not lying.
We all sat in silence for what felt like forever. I could see the wheels in Christians head turning, and I could only hope they were turning in the right direction. I looked over at Dimitri and he finally broke contact with Christians. I couldn't help the smile that came upon my face and Dimitri gifted me with one of his. I was about to lean in for a kiss when the silence was broken.
"Oh come on Christian do you really have to think about it?" She was looking at him with her green eyes glowing in anger. "They clearly care about each other, for crying out loud just look at them, I can feel the love radiating off of them, its almost suffocating." When he didn't respond she slapped him.
"What the fuck?" He said while rubbing his cheek. She pointed to Dimitri and I and crossed her arms. Waiting for him to respond and willing him to do it correctly. Wow Lissa was a lot more badass than I had thought. Not only that she seemed to have Christian wrapped around her perfect little delicate fingers. I would have commented on this, but right now I needed Christian on my side.
"OK look. This is all hard for me to absorb. I see that both Rose and Lissa trust you. You have truly given us no reason to think you are not on your side. But how do I really know? I mean what's in it for you? And is it worth it? You do know what you would be giving up right?" Christian focused all his energy at staring at Dimitri, making sure every word sunk in and that every question was going to be answered.
"I know what this all entails. I know I am giving up a career. My old life and everything with it. I know seeing my family will be impossible, but I don't see them that much as it is. I know what could happen if I am caught. But in the end, in the end it will be worth it. I don't want to see Rose in Abe's hands. I don't want to see any of you hurt. I am willing to do anything to keep her and you all safe. It is all worth it. As for what is in it for me." He stopped and spoke to me boring his eyes into mine, letting me see deep into his soul, after he was sure I knew what he was thinking he spoke. "I get to be happy, I get to be with someone I never thought I would ever meet. I know we just met but I feel like I have known you forever."
His words were amazing. I never thought someone would ever feel that about me. I knew then that I had completely made the right choice. I felt the connection from the moment I met him, I now knew it would take a lot more for anything to come in between us. I was now going to fight just as hard as he was for this all to work. I did not even care if it meant running away with just him. It may have sounded crazy but right then I knew there was no one out there more perfect for me than him.
"Alright then. Good answer by the way. And if you hurt her, or betray her, I'll skin you alive Belikov. I swear." He was pointing his finger right in between Dimitri's eyes. I was about to slap his hand away until I noticed the look in Dimitri's eyes. He was determined to show Christian just how much he meant his words.
"You have my word that I would never hurt her."
With that the conversation ran dry and we soon found ourselves in the living room, watching a movie. I had thought things would go a lot worse. This was better than I could have imagined. Our little family had grown one more and I couldn't be happier. I hated to break this amazing feeling but there was still something I had to tell Dimitri. I knew he wasn't going to be happy that I kept him it from him this long. But at least I was telling him before things got worse. He would know what to do and everything would work out. I got off the couch and motioned him to follow me to the guest bedroom I had been staying in. I pushed him on the bed and started pacing in front of him. He looked at me worried and started to get up.
I shook my head and he sat back down. I walked over to my bedside table and grabbed my cell. I opened it and pulled up the messages. I stared at the screen for what felt like forever. I was about to turn around when Dimitri took the phone out of my hands. He grabbed it like it had some type of disease. And the look he was giving me was slightly scaring me. I knew he would be upset but I did not think it would be this bad. I flinched back and readied myself for the worse but it never came.
So who is texting her? How cute is a protective Christian? And how awesome is that they are all together now? Review please... I'll post again soon!
