Some Weeks Later- RPOV

"And I want to say that I am really sorry," Lissa said, tapping her foot as she apologized for being such a hateful hag from hell.

I studied her. Why would she apologize out of the blue? I looked behind me at Jade and back at Lissa. "Okay, Liss? I forgive you."

She smiled and threw her arms around me, total normal Lissa behavior. "Rose, I missed you so much, best friend!" As she said the last words, I saw Lissa throw Jade a look that said "This is my best friend and only mine!" Okay, Lissa were seriously loosing it.

Jade so did not look amused. She didn't care what people said. "Oh, hey, Lissa," she said, using that same sweetness Lissa was using on her. "So how are the Spirit practices with my brother going?"

Oh, so Lissa didn't know that Jade was Adrian's sister. God, these girls were so confusing! I wanted to slap Lissa for acting so stupid and I wanted slap Jade as well for the same reasons as Lissa.

Lissa smiled. "They are going great." Lissa looked down at her cell phone, checking the time, I supposed. Then she looked at me. "Rose you soo have to meet Adrian! He is the cutest thing alive! The first time I saw all I wanted was to throw myself in his arms and just start loving him! I think I fell in love with him, too!"

Jade was currently distracted with someone on the phone so she didn't hear what Lissa was saying.

I thought back to when I had first seen Adrian, which was two weeks ago, and I had to agree with Lissa. Adrian was a total hottie, a hottie that liked you a second and then hated you the second after. But, yes; he was sexy as hell.

"Really, Lissa? I have to meet him one day and see his gorgeousness for myself." I really didn't want to Lissa that I had met him because I didn't want to recall the details of that night.

"Rose?" Jade asked.

"Yeah."

"My brother said he needed to pick up some things at the mall, do you want to tag along?"

"Uh…" Should I go or not?

She smiled and the smile reminded me of Adrian. "Come on! It will be so fun! My brother may be crazy, but he sure as hell knows how to have fun!" She smiled deviously. "And my dad just gave him the newest credit cards, which have no limit and Adrian seriously has no limit when it comes to spending money!"

I shook my head, not because I didn't want to go, but because they seriously did have a butt load of money.

She thought I had shaken my head no. "Oh, Rose! Please come. If you come, he will make up for acting so rudely on the night you met." She started whining. "Please, Rose! He will buy you anything and want and need! Just please come with me."

"Oh, fine!" Then I thought about something that might impede me to go that horrid trip. "But first I have to ask the headmistress permission and you know how she is."

Jade smiled. "Oh, don't worry. My brother is on his way to clear it up." Then Jade and I remembered Lissa was here. Jade put on a fake expression on her face and looked at Lissa. "I would invite you, too, but my brother said I could only take one friend along."

Lissa's face hardened. "It's fine. I have better things to do." She started walking away but she looked back at me. "See you later, Rose. Have fun." Only I could see the hurt in her eyes. It made me feel guilty.

Jade called back out to Lissa. "Oh, Lissa, some advice." She cleared her throat. "Adrian does not like snobby, bitchy, skinny Royals, so you might to change your attitude if you ever want to go out with my brother, which I am sure he will never want to go out with you."

Okay, if I did not stop these girls right now, I am sure there was going to be a cat fight up in here.

I saw Lissa turn red. "Oh, we'll see about that…" She said and left.

I stared at Jade. "Was that necessary?"

She shrugged and she did truly look guilty. "I am sorry, Rose. I don't like talking to her like that but she starts it every time. I mean, I like her; she's cool. But if she going to be a bitch to me, then I am going to be a bitch to her. If a dark barks, aren't you going to bark back?"

I started laughing. "How am I going to bark to a dog?" Then I turned serious. "And what was up with you inviting me to the mall?"

"Oh? I just wanted to spend so my quality time with you." She said. I knew her well enough to know that she was lying. She looked at her cell phone's clock. "Oh! By the way, if you don't start to get ready, your boyfriend is going to get mad!"

She grabbed my hand and started pulling me to her room. "My boyfriend? Who is my boyfriend?"

"Quit playing dumb with me; I know you love Adrian."

I rolled my eyes. "Please."

She giggled. "Quit lying." She said again.

I rolled my eyes again and followed her to her bedroom.

"Well, don't we look hot." Jade commented as we admired ourselves in the mirror.

"Oh, yes we do." I was wearing a purple halter dress that went to my knees and some black pumps. Jade was wearing and olive colored mini dress and some pumps that matched the color of her dress. We looked really cute, almost as if we were going out on a date with very special men.

Oh, crap. Maybe we were. What if Jade had lied?

Someone knocking on the door made me wake up. Jade brightened up. "That would be our dates."

"Date?" I asked, getting nervous.

She looked at me, smiled and shrugged. "Um, my date."

I raised an eyebrow at her. "Okay?"

She winked at me before opening the door. Jesse was first to come in. He looked okay in a dark jeans and a coat. I had never seen him dress like this. Jade could really work magic. And then he came in. Now this guy really did make me want to swoon and melt at the same time. I am sure that if this guy would have dressed in thrift store (not that there is anything wrong with that) clothes, he would have still looked good. He made anything look good.

"Jade," he called out to her, being careful not to look at me. "Are you and—Rose—ready to go yet?"

"Yes we are," she said, going to her closet and pulling out clothes for both of us. Everything I was wearing (except my braw and underwear) was borrowed from her.

She put her bitchy mask on as she walked to Jesse's side. Oh, hell. This was absolutely terrifying. She had planned a double date just to make me go through hell. This girl was soo going to pay.

"You look so pretty tonight." Jesse commented as he took her hand and led her forward.

"Thank you. Now shut up and let me enjoy my moment." Jade said. I wanted to burst out laughing. but I couldn't because Adrian was standing there looking at me.

His look made me want to crawl away—no; it made me want to crawls toward him and just start loving him like I had no other man.

He smiled. "Are you just going to stand there or are you going to come with us?"

I smiled back at him. And started walking out the door.

We had to walk a couple of meters before we were at the parking lot where all guests kept their cars. I followed Jade and Adrian to an awesome black Hummer.

"Adrian and Rose ride in the front and Jesse and I ride in the back." Jade said, getting into the back of the Hummer.

There was no other choice than to crawl into the Hummer and sit next to the guy I absolutely did not like. We drove in silence; the only sounds were Jesse and Jade in the back. I could see Jade getting annoyed and I couldn't help but chuckle.

"I'll take the Filet Mignon," I said to the waitress who was kindly taking our orders. She smiled politely and nodded, writing down on her pad. She moved on to the next person.

"So, Rose, how did you like those dresses my brother bought you?" Jade asked, trying to break the silence.

"They are nice. Thanks." I said once again.

"No problem," Adrian said smoothly, looking down at the table while he said it.

"Adrian?" Jade said, smiling deviously.

"Huh?"

"I dare you to go and sing a song over there in the Karaoke area." Jade said.

I knew by all the alcohol he had consumed, that he would agree. People are not themselves when they are drunk. Adrian had bought all of us a drink. I was the only one who had asked for seconds.

Adrian one last swig of his glass and stood up, pulling him with me. He winked when he saw me protest. "Come on, Rose. Let's show these people what we are made of."

I was drunk enough to go with him and get up on that stage and sing a song with him. They should have chosen a better song for us—the song Total Eclipse of the Heart was what we sang.

We bowed for the audience and everyone clapped. We must have good voices. In the corner, I could see Jade holding her phone, recording what we did, and laughing her ass off. God, I would have been laughing too. Adrian put an arm around me and kissed the top of my head. I was laughing uncontrollably; maybe I had drunk too much of whatever Adrian had order for me.

We walked back to the table. Jade suggested we go and then we started walking to the Hummer. Jade put the volume on blast inside the Hummer as she drove us to the academy. She was probably trying to block Adrian and me, but we still kept on singing. This had to be the funniest and most fun night in my life. Jade was right; Adrian did know how to have fun.

I waved goodbye to them and started walking to my room. It wasn't long before I sensed someone behind me.

I turned around to find Adrian following me. "Hey, Rose?" He said when I stopped at the female dhampir dorms.

"Yeah?"

He leaned on the door and crossed his arms on his chest. "So sorry on how I acted last week." He seemed really sorry.

I gave a huge smile. "It's okay, and thanks for apologizing," I said, looking around. I was not behaving with my normal Rose Hathaway attitude. What was wrong with me? I couldn't think of a good enough question to ask him. I couldn't even think of a good conversation to start with him. I settled with the dumbest question ever. "Why are you here?"

He chuckled again. But his expression changed. "Can't I try and be a gentleman? Its good manners for a man to walk a girl he likes to her place." He said, admiring my face for a second, his eyes boring into mine intently.

I looked at him, a question in my eye. I raised my eyebrow at him. He just shrugged and gave that nice laugh of his again. He turned to me and gave me that smile again, that smile that made my insides warm, that smile that made me lose my thoughts, a smile that made my heart flop all over inside my chest.

"Oh, okay. I guess we are all weirdos." It wasn't even that funny, but he still laughed. But I knew it was just the alcohol speaking for both of us. He was one of those guys that was very cool and fun and acted careless, but when it came to it, he was one of the most caring guys ever. He chuckled again and reached out to caress my cheek. All signs of being drunk disappeared as he looked into my eyes.

I wasn't sure if he had said those words or if I had hallucinated because I heard:

Forever just started tonight.

This was definitely a night to remember; we wouldn't remember because we were both drunk as shit. Too bad; there will be better memories later. I waved at him and started walking to my dorm. As I walked, I could feel his eyes on me and his touch still lingering on my cheek.

Tell me if you liked it or not? I feel like I am sucking in my writing lately.
