We walked back inside the dorm and I went back to my spot on the floor. His kiss had left me breathless and I put my hand on my stomach, feeling the soft flutters that we're constantly there when I was around Dimitri. I didn't know how I was going to tell him; all I knew is that I needed to tell him.

Lissa and Christian were talking about something that had happened the other day during his magic defense class. Something about how a group of the kids were getting cocky and he had was trying to decide what to do about them.

"Maybe you should try setting them on fire. It worked with Ralf." I suggested which earned a laugh from both him and Lissa.

"She's got a point. Bet they wouldn't know what hit them if their instructor "caught them on fire" in the middle of class." Christian laughed harder and Lissa looked at him with a disapproving look.

"You… don't need… to do that." She said between giggles.

I smiled and got back up feeling hungry. I could hear some banana peppers and ice cream with cream cheese calling my name.

"I'm heading down to the cafeteria." I called over my shoulder and made my way down to the cafeteria.

~DPOV~

I took a deep breath as Rose headed down to the cafeteria and looked to Lorraine. I gestured for her to follow me out the door. When we got out into the hallway she turned and looked at me.

"Is something wrong?" she asked and looked up at me.

"No. We need to talk. Lorraine you're a great girl but I don't think this is working out." Shock crossed her face and I waited on her to say something.

"I know. I'm not blind. I had a feeling that was what this was about." She had a small sad smile come to her face.

"I'm sorry I just…" I didn't really know what to say but she smiled.

"It's ok. I'm glad you told me." she smiled and then smirked. "See you around, Guardian Belikov." I smiled as she left.

I walked back inside and waited on Roza to come back. I was still confused about why she left or why she just did it all of a sudden. Why she lied. Why she didn't want to try to even talk about it.

About an hour later Lissa and Christian left and walked back to their dorms leaving me and Roza alone. She walked over and sat next to me on the couch.

"So…" she looked nervous and I didn't think before taking her hand in mine.

"Why did you leave?" I asked and let go of her hand.

"I thought it was what was best for you. I thought maybe you needed kids to be happy. I tried to tell myself that you were happy just with me. When we went to the elementary campus I wasn't sure. Those kids loved you. You got along so well with all of them. I thought that you were missing something in your life and hoped that you'd find someone who could give you kids. It hurt so bad knowing I was taking that away from you." Tears fell down her cheeks and I wanted so badly to pull her to me and tell her it was ok. But I didn't.

"Roza, you mean everything to me. I don't need kids to be happy. You are the only person I would ever want them with. You are the only person I am ever going to love. There is no one else in this world that could make me as happy as you do." I put my hand on her cheek and she leaned her face in and kissed the palm of my hand.

"I love you." She whispered and I felt my heart fill with so much love for her.

"I love you too. But why didn't you talk to me about if before you left?" I asked and she looked at me.

"Because you would've said the same thing you just said. That you didn't care and that you loved me. And I would have never have left." I smiled at her irritated expression.

She smiled before leaning in closer. "I love you and I would never ever find someone else in my life. You need to know that you are the only man I have ever loved and the only man I have ever slept with. I will never be with another person and I will never want anyone else." I felt a sense of relief wash over me at her words.

"I know. You are the only woman I will ever love. I'm sorry I didn't wait for you. I wish I had but I can't change the past. I love you, Roza." I leaned in and our lips were only a breath apart but she just laughed and moved away from me.

"That reminds me. We never discussed that. Who was your first anyway?" I felt heat rush to my face and stared at her. She raised her eyebrows at me.

"Still can't do the one?" I asked with a smirk and raised my eyebrow at her.

"You're not getting out of this. I want to know." She said defiantly and put a hand on her hip as she stood up.

"Why?" I asked and laid back on the couch.

"Because I'd like to know the name of the woman who got my love's v-card?" she giggled as I blushed slightly. "How old were you anyway?" she added.

"I was 14. But you don't know the girl." I told her and covered my face.

"How many women have there been? I still want to know. Did you meet her in Baia?" I smiled at her but kept my eyes covered.

"Maybe." I said and she crossed her arms.

"Dimitri Alexander Belikov!" I laughed and she pulled me to the floor. She was mad but as soon as I fell to the floor, she smiled at me.

"I don't know. I didn't keep count. After I met you there was no one else." I hadn't wanted anyone else and I still didn't. I loved her and after meeting her I couldn't think of anyone else that I could have ever wanted.

"Were there a lot?" she asked and I felt my smile fall. I'd made a lot of mistakes in my life but I couldn't take it back. I didn't know a number to be exact. God, I felt horrible. Roza had been innocent and stayed innocent until me. I wished so much that I could change my past and waited for her. "It's ok." she said interrupting my thoughts. "It's in the past. I kind of expected you'd been around a few times. Whore." I laughed and she smiled softly.

"Thank you." I told her and she kissed my cheek.

"We've all made mistakes. I'm not going to hold you to them." She said and smirked. "However if it turns out you do have a few kids I am going to kick your ass." We laughed at the thought.

"No. I stayed safe. I wasn't about to give or get something from anyone. Or have a baby by a woman I don't know." I smiled and she got up and sat back on the couch.

"Will I see you in the morning?" I asked and she smiled.

"I still live here. So probably but your making breakfast." She added and laid back on the couch pulling the blanket over her and pulling a pillow out from behind the couch.

I headed to bed feeling relieved that she hadn't changed her mind about us. Happy that she was back and happy that she was willing to give us another chance.

*** I was reading VA and saw the part where she was talking about he'd been kissing lots of girls and decided to make a chapter out of that. ;) So the break up went well with Lorraine and our couple is still talking and Rose hasn't said anything about the baby.
