Epilogue

Chapter 28

R POV

A few days later while things had settled and everyone was getting ready to pack for their flight back to the Academy there was another little surprise awaiting me. Dimitri had sneaked into my room just a few hours ago and we had caught up with each other in more ways than one. It was so nice to have him back in my arms and to feel the warmth of his skin against mine. To feel his breath on my neck as we cuddled and packed any last minute luggage for our return home.

"Things are going to have to go back to the way they were Milaya but it is only for a short while. You will graduate soon and then we can be together properly." Dimitri looked at me with such love and admiration in his eyes I could not even bare to be even the slightest but disappointed especially when I knew I could sneak into his apartment with my expertise in getting past the Guards.

"You promise?"
"I promise and don't worry we will still have to keep up with your extra training. I know that will cheer you up!". Ooh more time with Dimitri and especially when he gets all hot and sweaty... just thinking of it was making my insides melt and panties becoming soaked with the very idea.

"Hmm, you are on I can't wait to kick you ass!"
"Promises, promises!".

All of sudden someone knocked on the front door to my guest housing apartment. Luckily Dimitri and I were decent and had just finished packing. When I opened my door I discovered a very nervous Janine standing outside with a man wearing a very fancy suit a bright green scarf. He had luscious thick black hair, brown eyes that seemed to never miss a thing and lightly tanned skin for a Moroi. He wore a grey jacket and pants, with a black dress shirt, a purple tie and scarf. What also caught my eye was the gold hoop earring in one ear and a gold chain around his neck that would have made any other man look like a pimp, but it just seemed to work for him. Strangely enough as I seemed to eye him up and down, assessing him in a way a Guardian assesses any new stranger he felt oddly familiar and it didn't go unnoticed the way he was also assessing me as well as Dimitri. I coughed to distract him from his death glare towards my man.

"Hi Mom" The tension was so thick at the moment you could have cut it with a knife.

"Hi Rose may we come in?"
"Sure". As Janine and the strange man entered my room she walked up to give me an awkward hug. At the same time we basked in the appreciation of true relief and reassurance in that hug. When she broke away she realised that Dimitri was in the room and looked confused.

"Um mm, Hello Guardian Belikov"

"Oh Mom, Dimi, I mean Guardian Belikov was just coming over to discuss the final detail for our flight back to the Academy."

"Guardian Hathaway, Mr. Mazur!"
"Boy". I didn't like the way this man did not refer to Dimitri by his title it was disrespectful and I was going to give him the same treatment.

"Who are you old man?" Janine was shocked by my rudeness.

"Rosemarie!"

"That's ok Janine, the girl sure has a fiery temper!" Hmm who the hell does this guy think he is?
"That's alright Rose I think it is best I leave now. I will see you out on the air strip tomorrow 07.00 hours."

"Sure thank you Guardian Belikov". I gave him a small wink and he returned the slightest of nods just for me to see.

"Darling I have decided that I am going to work for another charge, this Moroi to be exact. His name is Ibrahim Mazur. He is going to start working closer to court so I won't be far from you now and I am willing to try and be a better mother for you, if you'll take me." I was in fact completely and utterly shocked but I knew deep down that I did in-fact want my mother in my life. To be honest that was all I had ever truly desired and here Janine was giving me what I always yearned for. A mother to be there for me. But was it to late too start over? No I don't think it could ever be too late.

This was one of the happiest days of my life but I feel there was still something she was keeping from me and I knew for a fact nothing in life is given to you without a catch.

"Mom I am so happy to hear this but you really didn't have to change jobs for me I know how loyal you are to Lord Szelsky."
"Rose it is more than loyalty, this is something I have to do for all of us!". Janine was definitely nervous and was wringing her fingers together in a way that put me on edge.
"All of us?". What did she mean?
"Yes it is also in the best interest of Ibrahim" Ok now I started to get very suspicious of the character sitting next to my Mom. He hadn't said a word and seemed to be taking in every single one of my expressions, it was unnerving.

"Hmm, Mom who is this new charge of yours, is he your new lover?" My Mom's cheeks turn bright red and the man gave off a slight chuckle.

"Well she is very perceptive Janine I'll tell you that". What, they were one first name basis?!

"Shut up Abe" What now they have nicknames for each other?

"Hang on what the hell is going on here? Who are you old man?". This character was seriously getting on my nerves and the shit eating grin he was giving me was really starting to piss me off!

"Well Rose let's just say the term you just used isn't that far off" He gave me a very mischievous grin and in the next moment everything started to click into place. The eyes, the hair and the name, it sounded so familiar, Ibrahim... a Turkish name.

"No fucking way!"

"Hello Kiz!"

The End

That's it my sweethearts!

I hope you enjoyed the ride and I will try and get started on my new book called 'A Trick of the mind' which of course involves Romitri but with a twist.

Love to all who continually supported me through this fanfic, it means a lot and I can't thank you enough.

Till the next time xxxxx
