For people who are confused…please read here. Okay so in the chapter before the previous one Eddie came up with the idea that if he Adrian got Rose jealous, she would show her true feelings towards him. Jade and Eddie aren't officially going out. Lissa and Christian are. Adrian only used Mia so that he could get Rosie jealous. But as you know, it didn't go that way. Instead of getting Rose jealous, he got her mad at him. And he got mad as well. So it was kind of like Idea-Gone-Wrong kind of thing. Sorry for the confusion. Oh and the visions are in no specific order or anything like that. They are all different times, different lifetimes that Adrian and Rose had and will have. Confusing, I know. Have any questions…just ask me. :)

I got frustrated again. I stood up from the bench and I started walking all over.

In my haste, I ran into Dimitri. And he tried to apologize. "Rose, I am sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"I am really, truly sorry for upsetting you."

He tried to get my forgiveness and he tried hard.

But I didn't listen. "It's your life, you can live it however you want, Guardian Belikov," I said, trying to use some manners and respect my elders. I turned around and started walking in the direction he wasn't going to. I started walking again. Faster and faster, until I just stopped and collapsed. I leaned again the wall and slid down to the ground and just sat there. And started crying again.

I groaned. Another vision would start again at any second.

It was a nice castle, I had to admit. It was like the one my father owned, but this castle beat ours in size and in luxury. I hated these Royal get-togethers. Sometimes I'd rather eat glass than be here. But, of course, I had to come or else my father or mother would not be pleased with me. As the first-born daughter of the king of London, I was required to marry the first-born son of another Royal family, the one that ruled the other side of London.

I hated being a Royal, important family. All you had to do was follow some dumb rules.

"Hey, lovely lady."

The voice caressed my skin. Ever since I had seen him a couple of weeks ago, I had been having this weird feeling every time I thought of him. And ever since that day, I knew we caught onto something.

I turned around and met the eyes of the young Ivashkov Prince.

"Yes?"I looked him up and down. He seemed like a good time.

He shrugged. "A lovely lady is never something I can resist."

I didn't let my expression change. I just rolled my eyes.

Adrian Ivashkov and I had met last month at another Royal event. He had a smile that took me to another planet. It was like a fairytale when I met him.

He smiled and leaned over to whisper in my ear. "Meet me by the gazebo by the lake." He kissed below my ear. I shivered in desire. The power of love. Oh, hell. Did I just say the power of love?

Rose Mazur, you are so gone for this guy.

I looked around to see if anyone was watching or had witnessed our little scene. My father would blow up and my mother would melt of mortification if they ever saw me with an Ivashkov. It would be a disgrace to our kind of Royal family. He was Royal, yes, but he was not the kind of Royal that I was supposed to keep in contact with.

I hurried as fast as my legs allowed. I did one last look over as to see if anyone was watching me and scurried out the door.

The sky was really beautiful. The moon and stars were shining much brighter than usual. Or maybe it was that love struck people saw the world differently. They saw the world with much light, rather than doom.

I smiled formed on my face as I continued walking.

The gazebo wasn't that far away from the castle. But that didn't mean I had to walk a little. I had to walk half a mile through clean path until a wooden gazebo came into view. Candles were brightening the darkened night. The moon's or the star's light could not reach this gazebo to light it.

I walked up to the gazebo, climbing the few stairs, wondering why he wasn't there yet. Nearby, I could hear the sound of running water. The brook was so close to the gazebo, it was like the gazebo was practically floating in the water. The water looked inviting. A swim would be nice.

I dared to take off my shoes and submerge my toes in the warm water. I went around the shore to see if my legs would hit a rock, but all I encountered was sand. It was very nice.

As I distracted myself with the water, someone put their hands over my eyes. "Guess who?"

He didn't wait for my reply. He spun me around and kissed me, long and hard. He made me breathless, my head spin, and made my body feel like it was on fire. I could not deny it anymore. I was in love with this guy. And it was like I knew him. Like we had met each other in another life or something. That had to be the explanation for feeling like I had met him before.

"Oh, dear God, forgive me for sinning more." I whispered as I took his lips again.

He chuckled, pulling away. "What have you done? Have you sinned your share of sins already?"

"My, I think I surpassed the amount of sins I was allowed to sin." I grabbed his head in between both of my hands. "Oh, please let me sin once more by kissing those great lips of yours."

He did as told.

But then, I had to stop. I am sure I would be dead if someone caught me kissing this indecent boy.

A sad expression washed over my face.

He grabbed my hand and led me back to the gazebo. He sat on a bench and took me in his arms, sitting me next to him. "My beauty, why the change in mood?" He asked, stroking my hair, my cheeks, my lips, my face.

"Oh, Adrian!"

"Tell me."

I closed my eyes. "We can't be together."

"Why not?" He looked horrified from that idea.

"I am a Mazur. I am destined to marry the first born son of the Ashton-Hughes."

He pressed his forehead to mine. "And I am required to marry the daughter of Mr. Areda-Meraz." He pounded his fist on his leg. "Damn! Why can't we live in a different world, one where we could choose who we marry?"

I stopped him from hitting his leg again. I brought his hand to my lips and kissed it. "No matter what time we live in, we always will have to abide by many rules. Rules that will always keep us apart."

"No, Rose. There will be a lifetime where we will be together. I swear there will be a lifetime where we will be together." He intertwined my hand with his and put them over his heart. "At least if not, you will always live here, here in the safety of my heart."

I looked seriously into his eyes. "My soul will always know you and recognize you, no matter what." I sighed. "No matter how many lives you have and no matter how many times your appearance changes, I will always know it's you." I gave him a fast kiss. "They say the soul only lives in the eyes and eyes never change, even if your appearance does."

He looked into my eyes. "I will know it is you because no one could ever have brown eyes as beautiful as yours, my beauty." He said, kissing my eyelids.

I gave a small cry. "We are talking like we are saying goodbye. What's the urgency? We still have tonight to be together. And who knows? Maybe we will have some other nights and days together. Who knows what the future holds for us?"

He smiled mischievously. "I sure hope this isn't our last night together." I knew he was suggesting something. "Because they're a lot of wonderful things I love doing in the night."

I smiled as he leaned over to kiss me. Who knew what the future held for us? I looked up at him once more and into his green eyes. The mixed feelings started again as I looked into his deep, green eyes.

I woke up from my vision and met none other than his green eyes.

Can't sleep?" A deep, sexy said.

Startled, I turned around and gazed upon the person in back of me. "Oh, what do you want?" I said, looking away, not letting him see my tears. I wiped them off.

"So sorry on how I acted earlier." He seemed really sorry.

I didn't say anything. But after a while I decided to. I gave a huge smile, deciding to forget about the whole incident earlier. Shouldn't I be the one apologizing since it was me who was beating up on him?

"It's okay, and thanks for apologizing," I said, looking around. "I am sorry, too."

"Sorry for what?" He smiled.

"Well, I did beat you up." 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. "I came out here. . . I don't know, something just told me to come out here." 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. 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, in that moment, I knew. I knew that I had fallen in love with him, just as he had fallen in love with me.

The word love made me remember Dimitri. I was sad once more.

His green eyes became very gentle and he sat down next to me. "Something is bothering you; tell me what's wrong."

I took a deep breath. "Nothing is wrong," I said, scooting away from him, and trying to stand up.

He grabbed my wrist and brought me closer to him, so close that I was practically sitting on his lap. "I am glad that Jade said that…the part where she said that we are in love…it made me realize something." He said, looking away.

"What did it make you realize?" Since I was sitting on his lap (practically sitting), I had to pull back and twist my face so that I could look at his face which was quite gorgeous in the moonlight.

Was this a reenactment of the vision I had earlier? It was all there. The moonlight. Him sitting next to me and holding me. We just needed the puffy dresses and the gazebo and the lake whatever you wanted to call it.

He looked so earnestly into my eyes that it was hard to look away. "I do love you, Rose. I loved since that day you bumped into me that one day. Every night, I would sleep thinking of you. Every morning I would wake up thinking about you. Every part of me longed for you."

"And you know what?" I said, my hand going to his cheek and cupping it. "I love you…a lot more…than I have ever loved anyone. I love you, Adrian Ivashkov." I said.

"And I love you more, Rosemarie Hathaway." His eyes were all that I saw as he leaned in closer to kiss my lips for the first time. Every part of me never wanted to stop. I wanted to keep on kissing Adrian forever and ever. Why was love so complicated? No, why was life so complicated?

"Rose," he sighed against my lips, "I love you." We kept saying I love you so much—it would probably be the only thing we would say for a while.

The sweetest of the sweetest kiss was given to me by him. There was no other—absolutely no other man—that could bring me as much love as Adrian brought me. When you see your soul mate you know…that's what happened to Adrian and me. We were soul mates! We will never be happy without each other anymore! Oh, God, I love him! That's why I kept having all these visions of him and me in different times. Souls…they always found each other.

Maybe my vision was trying to tell me that we were destined to be together in this lifetime. Who knew? One thing was for sure. And that was…

"I love you, Adrian."

"I love you, Rose." He said, leaning down to give me another sweet kiss that I surely enjoyed.

Did you think it was lame…or what? Hopefully, you did like it. One more chapter like those coming up! And then the action starts!
