Author's note: I hope this is the format with less misspellings. Please say it if I still have some misspellings in it, because English isn't my foreign language.
I was already awake for an hour. Dimitri and I have an own apartment at Court, near to Lissa's and Christians. I stayed in the bed, because I didn't want to wake up Dimitri. He still sleeps very light, even at Court, ready to protect others against potential attackers. I heard Dimitri wake up after a few minutes. I nestled myself against him and I felt him relax.
Sometimes I'm still afraid that he will break up with me again. I am afraid that he will think it's unforgivable what happened while he was a strigoi, especially what happened in Siberia. Way to fast did we had to wake up.
I got dressed and went to Lissa. Today is our first day at Lehigh. She says she isn't nervous, but I don't believe that. I don't need the bond to see how she feels. I know how much work she has now she is the queen and also wants to study. I know she wants to do everything the best she can do. Actually is that stress my fault. I told our friends to nominate her. That's why she is the queen now.
Lissa choose to study beside her tasks as queen. She chose a political study, which hopefully can help her with her own tasks. Since I am her guardian, I have to protect her and so I follow the same subjects. I don't expect troubles, but you can't be too careful.
We saw Eddie in the car. Since Lissa always needs at least two guardians around her, Eddie is her second guardian. They needed someone with the same age and someone she already trusted.
It took an hour to arrive at Lehigh. It looked like you would expect. It was a big and old building. On the inside did it look a lot more modern. Still big, but it looked much opener and much more pleasant. Soon we sat in the lecture room.
I saw a lot people looking at us. Lissa looks like a human super model, with her tiny moroi looks and people can see that we came from another place. Besides that, she has a natural charisma, what her spirit powers feeds.
The first lesson started. However I took notes, but I think it's pretty boring. I am a fighter, a physical fighter. I don't care much about debating and fights with words.
After a few classes we were able to go home. On the way back, Lissa asked the chauffeur to go to the shopping center. She told us she wanted to buy something for Christian. We walked through the whole shopping center, till Lissa saw a little book shop. While Lissa was searching for a present for Christian, I watched what happened in the store. I noticed who came in and who left the store. I faked interest for the books in the shop but saw a familiar book between the traffic books. 100 world places. I opened it, not believing it was the same book. It was, and I was back in the library in Rubysville. I sat there again with Dimitri, daydreaming about the places we saw on the pages. I sat there, daydreaming about the impossible, because we couldn't go anywhere, because we flee from the guardians. I knew Dimitri would like the memory too, so I bought it.
Back in the car did I explain the story about the book to Lissa and Eddie.
After arriving at Court, I went back home to wrap up the book. I already had seen Christian, so Dimitri should be at Court too. I expected him to be at the gym, so I waited for him to come home. I cleaned up the apartment and after an hour Dimitri finally came home.
'Hey comrade, how was your day?' I asked.
'Fine, Christian stayed at Court, so I had time to practice, and of course did I had some shifts. How was Lehigh?' He asked.
'Fine. It was what I expected. Beautiful building, kind people, but the lessons are a bit boring. After the lessons Lissa wanted to the shopping center. I bought something for you too.' I said. I gave him the book and saw the recognition in his eyes. He smiled and opened the book. It seemed like he was searching for something. He stopped when he found the page about Siberia.
'I want to go to Siberia with you' he said and he kissed me.
'Do you think Lissa will give you a week holiday?' He asked.
'Sure she will. I look forward to the trip' I said and I smiled. 'We have a holiday in a few weeks. I'm sure she and Christian will give us the holiday.' I continued.
'They will be together, so they will have enough guardians' he admitted. I kissed him and forgot everything else. As always was Dimitri the only one in my world for a moment. The kiss became more passionate, but I broke it.
'Where do you want to go?' I asked.
'Definitely Baia. I know you've already met my family, but I want to be there with you. I've called them today. They know I'm a dhampir again.' he said.
'Super!' I said. I knew he tried to avoid it. I knew it was hard for him. I kissed him again. I loved him so much it felt like I would explode. I knew everything between us was alright now. I knew he loved me too. I knew every problem between us was gone. People are beginning to accept our relationship and everything is okay. The kiss became more passionate again. 'Roza, you're so strong, so beautiful' he whispered. I smiled, remembering the first time he said that, a year ago, when he said he loved me, but also said we couldn't be together. 'I love you Roza' he whispered again. 'I love you too, comrade' I replied. I knew he hated that nickname before. That's why I started and continue to use it. Now I know he loves the nickname.
