Hello everyone! Sorry for the siesta, I had some personal matters to take care of before I could even think about writing a new chapter. I would like to thank everyone who is still following this story. As always, if you like it, please comment! It keeps me motivated to write faster. Anyways, here is the next chappie!
Disclaimer: Adrian, Christian, and Rose do not belong to me :(
I managed to make it back to my room without running into anyone, save for the occasional maid or butler.
Glancing briefly at the clock, I realized that it was only two in the afternoon; way too early to start getting ready for tonight. I would need two hours max in order to shower and dress. That gave me five hours to fill. An idea came to me: how about a little swimming? Abe recently had a new pool installed, along with a huge hot tub, which I had yet to test out.
I whipped out my cell and texted Cara, who immediately agreed to meet me over there. This will be nice, I thought. A nice, relaxing girls day before work. Before walking out the door, I threw on my deep red string bikini and pulled my hair into a messy bun.
The pool was gorgeous; it was in the shape of a huge bean, surrounded by reclining beach chairs and the occasional table, with artificial-sun lamps hanging from the ceiling. These were specially designed not to irritate Moroi skin, but still have all the other properties of the real sun. Pretty amazing, right?
"Rosie-Posie! Nice of you to join us gorgeous!" Yelled Chase, who was currently relaxing in the hot tub holding a sangria, along with Adrian and Christian. So much for my relaxing day.
"What the hell are they doing here?" I shouted at Cara, throwing her a dirty look.
She jumped off of her chair and ran over to me.
"I'm sorry, Ro, but Christian and Chase were with me when you texted. I didn't want to be a bitch and not invite them."
"It's alright." I sighed, walking over to Cara's table and removing the black Skrillex t-shirt I had thrown on over my bikini.
"Damn." I heard Christian whisper, followed by Adrian's wolf-whistle. I laughed before making my way over to the bar, feeling as if I would need some juice to get me through today.
Sitting down on one of the stools, I ordered a dirty martini, stirred, when I felt a cool arm slide around my waist.
"What's your poison today, sexy?" Chase asked. I grabbed my drink and held it up for him to see.
"Ah, nice choice." He said, spinning my chair so that I was facing him. The stool was raised slightly, so that my legs were at the height of his waist. I opened them slightly, and he stepped in between, placing both of his arms on the bar behind me; boxing me in.
"I missed you this morning." He whispered, placing a light kiss on my neck.
I giggled, and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Well, as much as I would've loved to spend the morning with you, I had more pressing matters to attend to."
He raised an eyebrow.
"Like what? Adrian Ivashkov? I would hardly classify him as a pressing matter." Chase said heavily, moving in closer still.
I stared up into his brown eyes as he planted a delicate kiss on my lips. He pulled back once before I tightened my grip on his neck, pulling him back down, into a harder kiss. He deepened it more, pressing me flush against him, before I heard someone clear their throat loudly. Chase sighed, kissing me briefly once more and stepping out of my arms. I sipped my drink, and glanced at Cara, who was reading a magazine. Downing the rest of my martini, I walked over to her and plopped down on the seat next to her own.
"Alright, spill." She said.
"What?"
Cara closed her magazine and swung her legs over so she was facing me.
"About you and Chase! Don't even try and bullshit me that there's nothing going on between you two."
A smile crept across my face and I blushed.
"We had sex." I whispered. She must have heard me because her eyes widened.
"No way! When?"
"Last night, after we all watched those movies."
"Well how was he? Give me some details!"
"He was amazing. Maybe even the best ever; and that's saying something, 'cause I've had some pretty damn awesome sex." I smiled again at the memory.
"Wow."
"I know."
"Talking about me again, Hathaway?" Christian yelled from the pool.
"You wish, Ozera!" I shouted back.
"Come and join us Rose! The water's perfect!" Exclaimed Adrian.
"Alright, alright. I'm coming." I poked Cara before getting up, and signaled towards to pool. She set down her magazine and we walked arm in arm to the pool, where Adrian was waiting by the step ladder to meet us. I couldn't help by notice his perfectly sculpted, lean chest. His hair was in disarray, making him that much more appealing.
Just as I jumped in, he wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling my to him.
"See something you like, Little Dhamphir?" He whispered in my ear.
"You have no idea." I replied before swimming away, towards Cara and Christian in the middle of the pool. I could feel Adrian following behind me.
"How about a game?" Chase suggested as soon as we were all within earshot.
"Sounds fun. What did you have in mind?" Cara asked.
"Well, we could play shot pong, or truth or dare."
"Ouuuhhhhh! Shot pong sounds awesome! Lets get somebody to set that up!" We all agreed, and soon we had one of the butlers setting up a table while Adrian got the shots ready. As soon as it was set, we began picking teams.
"I call Rose." Said Adrian.
"But I wanted Rose!" Yelled Christian.
"I want Chase, too." Adrian added.
"Alrighty. Looks like we have our teams. Me, Adrian, and Chase against you and Cara." I interrupted. "Let the game begin!"
Two hours later, we were on our sixth game of shot pong, and everyone, including myself, was more than a little drunk. Probably not the best idea considering I had to work tonight...
"Oh! Rose made it!" Adrian yelled, pointing at the other team. Cara tried to take her shot, but ended up laughing so hard that she spilled it all over herself, causing the rest of us to break out in a fit of laughter. After we regained some control, Christian suggested that we stop before one of us got alcohol poisoning.
"Aweee, Chrissy! Your such a buzz kill!" I slurred, poking at his exposed chest. He grabbed my hand and removed it from his chest.
"Alright, Rose, I think you've had enough. Come on, I'll take you back to your room."
"Nah man, I got her. I'm heading back anyway." Adrian interjected, whisking me away before anyone had the chance to object.
"Adie! Why'd you make me leave?" He chuckled.
"Rose, come on, sober up. We have to get ready for tonight."
"I'm not drunk!" I said, just as I stumbled over my own feet.
"If you say so." He laughed, picking me up bridal style. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer.
"Oh Adrian. You know I love you right? I don't know what I'd do without ya." I whispered, kissing his cheek, just before I blacked out.
I woke up in my own bed. Okay, that's a good sign, I thought. But my stomach dropped when I felt another body under the blankets, next to mine. I shifted so that I could see who it was, and was immediately relieved to find that the person was Adrian. I was even more relieved when I saw that we both had clothes on.
I glanced at the time, remembering we had a job, and found it was six forty.
"Adrian," I whispered. "Time to wake up baby."
He stirred slightly, before opening his beautiful green eyes.
"Hey." He whispered.
"Hey." I leaned down and kissed him quickly.
"What was that for?"
"I don't know; just felt like it." I joked.
"Well by all means, feel free to do it again." He laughed.
"Hmm, maybe later." I winked, getting out of bed and stretching my arms. "We should probably get ready."
Adrian nodded.
"You shower and I'll meet you back here in an hour or so." With that I skipped to my closet and began picking out my clothes. After a bit of searching, I found what I was looking for: a black, tight dress, the hem coming to my mid thigh, with a deep v stretching to mid stomach. After all, Adrian had said nothing about covering my cleavage. I found my favorite gold heels and picked out a sexy red lingerie set I had gotten from VS not too long ago, before hopping in the shower.
About half an hour later, I was done showering. I put my coconut scented hair up in a bun and threw on my bra and panties before re-entering the bathroom to brush my teeth and dry my hair. After that was done, I went to put on my dress. As I walked into my bedroom, I found Adrian sitting on my bed. His jaw dropped as he saw what I was wearing-or rather how little I was wearing. I blushed, realizing I was still only in my panties.
"Fuck Rose." He whispered, running a hand through his hair.
"See something ya like, Ivashkov?" I asked, stealing his line from earlier.
He stood up and walked to me, placing his hands low on my waist before answering.
"God you have no idea."
He pulled my chin up so that I was looking into his lust-clouded eyes. Just as he began to lean down, I walked out of his embrace, throwing a sultry look over my shoulder.
I put on my dress, zipping up the back without Adrian's help, and slid on my heels.
"Ready to go." I said, walking out to meet Adrian, who was dressed in a pair of black jeans, with a fitted black t-shirt.
He groaned as soon as he saw the front of my dress.
"Rose!"
"What?" I asked innocently.
"Alexander isn't going to be able to keep his hands off you." He growled.
"Isn't that kinda the point?" He shook his head.
"Let's just go."
We took the elevator down to the garage level, where I followed Adrian to a sexy black Ashton Martin Vanquish.
"Can I drive?" I asked hopefully.
"Absolutely not." He chuckled.
Alrighty guys! Kind of a filler, but hey, somethings better than nothing. Hope you liked it!
