Chapter 20
DPOV
Rose pulled me aside telling me she had to talk to me in private about something, by the scared look in her eyes, I grew concerned. Something told me what she had to say to me was very important, and I did not like having her be this scared about something. I had promised to keep her safe and I intended on keeping that promise. She led me to her room and had me sit on her bed. But she did not tell me what was going on, instead she was pacing in front of me, making my nerves work up even more. What could have her this scared, this nervous. I had to get up to comfort her, but when I tried she shook her head at me, so I simply sat back down and hoped she would tell me soon. I knew she would tell when she was ready, but I needed to know now, I had to know what to do to make her feel better. I had to make that frown go away, I wanted it to be replaced with that amazing smile she had been giving me now so often. That smile I melted into, the smile that would make me do anything for her, no matter what it was. She had me wrapped around her small little fingers, even more so than Lissa had Christian.
She grabbed her phone and pulled something up. I thought she was now going to tell me but instead she just stared at the lit screen. She had been doing this for the last 5 minutes so I found myself standing up to go see what the problem was. I looked over her shoulder and read the two messages on the screen. I knew who they were from, the person had been stupid enough to not block their number. I knew that number, it was the one that haunted my dreams. I grabbed the phone out her hands and found myself getting extremely angry. This had to stop, I was sick and tired of all this non-sense. I wanted my life to be my own and I was not going to let her ruin it anymore. I was so caught up in my inner rant that I forgot about Rose until I saw her flinch, she thought I was angry with her. I had to make sure she knew she had done nothing wrong, I relaxed my features and hoped my face and eyes showed how much I cared about her.
"Oh god no Rose. I am not mad at you." I saw her visibly relax and I took a step closer to her. "These messages I know who they are from I'm sorry." How could she even dare harass my Roza, things were not going to end well for her, it had been coming for a long time now. It was time someone put her in her place. I had resources and was going to start using them from now on. I could not do the job myself but I knew who would, someone who hated her just as much as I did.
I pulled Rose into a hug, to further show her I was not mad at her, she hugged me back quickly and I felt her sigh into my chest. I once again felt how perfect she was for me. She fit in my arms like we were two puzzle pieces. I took in her smell and all my anger melted away. I knew what I had to do. And I was going to keep her safe no matter what. Roza was now my life, my everything, nothing was going to get in the way. Especially not a psycho with no sense of realization.
"Who is it?" She peered up through her hair and waited for my answer. I took in her gorgeous brown eyes and sighed in content, I could look at her forever and never want to look away.
"This number belongs to Tasha. She wasn't even smart enough to block it before she sent it. Rose we have to leave. I told you she works for Abe and as soon as she find out that I chose to be with you, she is going to tell him where you are." Rose stiffened in my arms. Even though she did not know Tasha well, she knew enough to know she was not going to give up. Her coming to Boston had showed that, Rose knew the danger of having Tasha know where we were, it just pained me that I would have to take Rose from the city she loved so much. But if that is what it took to keep her safe it was what we would do. Her safety and that of Christian and Lissa mattered the most now. From now on they were the family I had. I did not know when I would see my own again, but I had one now that needed me.
"I can't go back there Dimitri. I just can't." She started crying and I was about to comfort her when someone burst through the door.
"What did you do? Stay away from her." Christian pulled me away and wrapped his own arms around Rose. She recovered quickly and for the second time tonight Christian was slapped. That boy really did know how to jump to conclusions, he should have at least let us explain before he jumped to conclusions, he was going to have a permanent slap mark on his left cheek if he kept this up.
"What is wrong with you? How can you just go around assuming after everything he told you at dinner." She stepped back from him and ran to me clinging to me like she never had before. She needed me at this moment and I was all hers. I gave Christian a sympathetic look, and he sighed deeply and looked frustrated. I knew this was hard for him. For two years he had been Rose's comfort, only friend, and family. He was use to having to save her on his own, sharing her now was hard for him, though I knew he would never admit it. Christian was too proud for his own good. In a way I was reminded of myself, I knew what I wanted and stuck to it. I also wanted to always protect those I loved and cared for, I could admire that about him, he wasn't going to let her get hurt, not if he could help it.
I let her cry against me and handed Christian the phone. He seemed confused so I motioned for him to read the messages. His eyes widened when he noticed that someone had been sending threats to his beloved sister. I could see him shaking again, and I knew he was thinking the same thing I had been thinking when I saw them myself. Whoever it was going to pay, and I knew him like me would stop at nothing in order for this to happen.
"Who did this?" He looked at me for the answer since Rose was in no condition to answer.
"That's Tahsa's number." I was hoping he would not get mad. I knew Tasha was his aunt. But I also knew he was aware that she was an absolute nut. He had told me himself when I mentioned her before. His face confirmed my suspicion, he was not mad at Rose but at his aunt. He had long found out that you could not trust your family. Everyone he had trusted had betrayed him, just like Rose' family. Neither of them had a normal family life like I had. They had grown up with no one to lean on but themselves, and finding each other had been the best thing to happen to both of them.
"God she just keeps getting worse and worse. When I was young my mother always talked about getting her sister some help. Tasha always made it seem like she was fine. But she needed help, she still does." He looked back at me and I could tell what he wanted to ask.
"I need to see what we can do. I hate to do this, but I think Boston is no longer safe for you guys to stay here. She knows you're here. It won't be long before she figures out I am now helping you guys not about to capture you." Rose pulled back and she now looked determined. She was no longer scared, she knew what had to be done and she was going to do it. This is what I loved about her, she was so strong and she didn't even know it. Wait love? I had to shake my head and get that thought out, it was too soon, and I would never rush Rose like that.
"Christian, where is that new job they want you to go to?" She was starting to form a plan. And once again I smiled at her, I had to give her some credit, her mind worked wonders. She had been able to escape Abe once and I knew she could do it again.
"It's in South Carolina, working with Boeing. Why?" He looked curious and was not yet getting her plan.
"Maybe you should take it?" She looked in thought again. "Or maybe just tell them you will take it."
"Rose what about Lissa?" I knew he cared about her, but I had not noticed how much until his eyes glazed over and he was about to cry, he did not want to lose her. Before Rose could answer Lissa did.
"I will transfer. They have colleges down there too. I mean I just started classes, its not like I would lose much. I could start fresh for spring semester." She shrugged it off and although Christian looked relieved he shook his head.
"I can't ask you to do that for me." He hugged her and she laughed.
"I just got you in my life there is no way I'm letting go now. You're taking me with you and you're going to like it." She pulled his face into her hands and gave him a small soft kiss, and he was a sucker for it. He would do anything for her.
We then decided that we were moving. Christian was going to go to work the following day and let them know he was going to take the job. Lissa would drop out of Umass Boston. And Rose and I would find a place to live in Charleston, South Carolina. I would alone work on making their entire lives from Boston, Massachusetts disappear. It would be like they were never here. Abe would have no where to start from. Tasha could tell him all she wanted that we had been here but he would find no proof. It was also decided that maybe Rose should stay with me at my place. That way I could watch over her, and make sure no one would follow her. She was going to quit her job along with me, so we could just hang out together until we moved. In a weeks time we would be gone, and living our new lives.
That led us to what I had been worrying about. Rose was now here in my place, and it was a one bedroom. Unlike Lissa I had not needed a guest bedroom, this place was suppose to be just for me. I knew she had just been here, but I was nervous about having her here now. She would be staying over night, and as much as I had dreamed about this I did not know what to do. I had spent a lot of time with Tasha but that was a far cry from a normal relationship. We had never had sexual relations, and most of the time I woke up in the middle of the night and went to sleep elsewhere. In the morning she would be furious with me, but I just could never get that close to her.
Actually I knew exactly what had been worrying me. It was the fact that I was afraid to lose control around her, she would be the one to make it all snap. She had already done so. And even though I knew I had far more experience than her with relationships I had never actually, well ever, you know ever had sex. I was ashamed that I was a 24 year old virgin. But I had had my fun with woman in other ways. I could never get myself to have sex with anyone because I never found them worthy enough. That made me sound cocky and full of myself but it was the truth. Except now with Rose sex was all I could think about. Those few times we had spent making out had been enough to make me want to ravish her. I wanted to take her and make her completely mine. My control was tested time and time again every time she touched me. It was like she wanted it as well, but was trying to get me to make the first move.
She wasn't making it any easier by not stopping me. She would let it go as far as I wanted, and sometimes I would find myself half naked with her just in her underwear and bra. I had been able to stop it all these times but it was not getting any easier. She was doing things to me, making me feel things sexually that I never thought I would feel. I wanted her, and what surprised me the most was that she wanted me. And she never once said no. I would be the one to pull away, trying to play it off. I would smile kiss her forehead and lure her out with some food. I even gave her a whole bottle of wine before so she would fall asleep and stop asking me to take her to my bed. I was running out of excuses and she was catching on.
"Come on Dimitri it's OK. I want this." She was once again trying to convince me to go all the way with her. But I could not. I had not even told her I myself had never done it before. I knew she thought I had, because she hinted at it many times. I simply could not tell her I was a virgin, but things were getting worse. That and I wanted to say those three words before we did. I wanted us to be in love in order to do it. I know it sounded sappy, seeing as I was man, but it was something my mother had always told me. She said it was better with love, that having sex was not something to mess around with. She did not want me to be like my father breaking hearts and using woman. It is why I wanted to wait, I noticed that love was what I had been waiting for.
"Rose, wait stop." I pushed her away before she could get my boxers off. She had her thumbs hooked onto the waist band and the feeling felt amazing, I wanted her to take them off, wanted to know what it would feel like to have her touch me there, but not right now. It was not the right time. She looked hurt and I knew she thought I was rejecting her. "No Rose it's not like that. I need to tell you something." I knew my cheeks were flushing red, and I had no idea where to start so I looked away. This was embarrassing, I could only imagine what she would think of me after I told her. This was probably the least manliest thing I would ever have to do. I had learned how to do everything and anything with no fear and yet telling her about being a virgin because I was waiting for love scared the fuck out of me, would she laugh? Would she leave me?
"What's wrong Dimitri? Did I do something wrong? You could just tell me what to do." I looked at her and could not help the small chuckle that came out of me. She thought she wasn't experienced enough for me, god if she only knew. Even though this was all new to her, she did a wonderful job of making me feel like a real man. I grabbed her hands and pulled her towards me. I embraced her and kissed the top of her head. She was so wonderful, if she understood the Abe thing she would understand this. She had never judged me before, and now would be no exception.
"Trust me Rose you have done nothing wrong. You're perfect. I want to do this, but I want to make sure you are truly ready. I want this to be special for you, many may not think it's a big deal, but it is. Having sex is a big decision and you're still so young. I also want there to be love in this, yes we care about each other, but I know some day we will fall in love, and everything will just be perfect. And well I'm... I'm... You know.. I've... Never.. God... " I had to stop before I made it worse. My embarrassment came back, and I knew my cheeks were flushing red. She pulled away to look at me and understanding crossed her features, she had figured it out, and oddly enough she seemed happy about it.
"Dimitri are you a virgin too?" I looked at her ashamed she had figured it out before I was able to tell her. All I could do was shake my head.
"Oh Dimitri why didn't you tell me. You should know by now you can tell me anything. And it's OK. I'm actually happy, no ecstatic that you are too. I can only hope that we can share that moment someday together, while in love. I understand. I was just scared you had done it before and wanted it and I was not able to give it to you in the right way, or even be able to please you enough." She looked down herself ashamed at her lack of experience, but I would not have it. It was funny that we had both been thinking the same thing. She wanted our first time to be special too.
"Rose you are perfect. I know when we decided to have sex for the first time it will be wonderful. And I mean we could do other things to please our needs." I raised my eyebrow at her and winked it took her a few moments to understand me and soon she was releasing a huge OH from her mouth.
With a new way to release our sexual needs we could now focus on what we were suppose to be doing. Finding a home for the four of us. Rose came up with the brilliant idea that maybe we should get two house side by side. That way the couples could have their privacy but still be close enough to keep each other safe. Rose had decided she was going to join Lissa in the epic adventure of college, her words not mine, while Christian and I brought home the bacon, her words not mine. I knew I did not have to work I had made more than enough money in my time, but I still wanted to make sure I could send money back to my mother and sisters.
Before we knew it the four of us were on a plane heading down south. We had left everything behind, stating we could get new things as went, I was happy about this because it was like we were truly starting over. We were getting away and no one was going to find us. We could live life happy, and it would be perfect. I had never envisioned this life for myself but now looking at it I knew it had to be this way. As long as I was with Rose nothing mattered, everything would work itself out. But I also knew I had to get rid of someone. I had set up my old friend Ivan to have a chat with Tasha. And I am sure he made it good. Ivan was as scary as me when he wanted to be. He had seen what Tasha had done to me and was more than willing to do the job. When we arrived in Charleston, he sent me a message saying his point had been made, and he thought Tasha would never be able to come near me because she would be too afraid. I could only hope that it was true.
What do you think? Damn that Tasha! What do you think of their move? Will they be safe? And what about Dimitri never doing it before? Review and I shall update!
