I knew Dimitri told me to stay away from Abe, but seeing as he was my father, it was rather difficult. So, when Abe texted me at lunch time, on Thursday, for me to come meet him in his room, well, I decided to go. I looked over at my table of friends. "Hey guys, I got to run. I'll see you around." I quickly got up and left, hearing my friend's protests as I walked away. I left the cafeteria. As I was turning the corner to go down the hall to my father's room I walked into someone. I felt their hand shoot out to steady me. I looked up and locked eyes with my boyfriend. "Sorry Comrade, wasn't really paying attention." He chuckled.

"I could tell. What are you doing?" I hated that I was going to have to lie to him, but Abe's warning rung out in my head.

"Just taking a stroll."

"Is that so?" I could tell by his tone that he knew I was lying.

"Yup, and I got to run. See ya Comrade!" I smiled up at him as I quickly walked away. A few more minutes and I knew that he would be able to make my crack and tell him. When I reached my fathers room I knocked on his door. He opened it only moments later and ushered me inside. "You wanted to see me?" I ask.

"Yes, I wanted to go out again with you, but this time I was thinking it would be better if we went during the human morning. That way there won't be any strigoi attacks."

"Yeah, that's a much better plan. I don't exactly want a repeat of what happened last time."

"Great, well I'll pick you up later tonight and we can go out, I asked your mother to come but she's working the wards tonight, so it will be just us again." I nodded my head.

"Okay." He turned around and walked over to the couch, patting the seat beside him. I made my way over at sat beside him.

"I also wanted to ask you how you were after the attack? I visited as often as I could when you were in the infirmary, but I'm pretty sure your mentor doesn't like me much." He smirked at me as if he knew something that I didn't. I wondered briefly if he knew about Dimitri and I's relationship. I quickly pushed away that thought. There was no way he could, he would no doubt be very pissed right now if he did know.

"I'm good. Lissa healed me all up. As for my mentor, well, he's just weary. He's heard about you and your…reputation."

"I see, well, he has nothing to be weary about. I would never hurt you kizm, you're my daughter."

"I know, but he doesn't." Abe looked at me for a few moments.

"Do you want to tell him?" I shrugged my shoulders trying to look nonchalant about it.

"Well, it would get him off my back." I also hate lying to my boyfriend. I added silently. He nodded his head but remained silent. Finally, he spoke up again.

"You should go, don't want to be late for classes. I'll come by your room after your training." I got up and walked to the door.

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye kizm…" He trained off making me turn to look at him curiously. He had a large smirk on his face. "Rosemarie, if you want to tell your boyfriend that I'm your father, you know, to get him off your back and all, you can." I stood in front of him shocked as he repeated what I had said only moments ago, about Dimitri.

"How do you know?" He shrugged his shoulders, as if me dating my mentor wasn't a big deal.

"I told you, I've kept tabs on you."

"And you're okay with us?" I ask. I honestly was tempted to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming. I figured if my parents ever found out that they would both kill Dimitri, and then me. But Abe… he was so calm about it.

"At first I wasn't too happy. However, I've had some time to see how you two are with each other. I know guardian Belikov's family, and I know that he was raised very well. I could also tell, when you were in the infirmary, how much he really loves you. He rarely left your side, and it was clear how worked up he was over your well being."

"Are you going to tell mom?"

"No, but that doesn't mean you aren't." I nodded my head figuring that's what he was going to end up saying. "You should tell her after your graduation, it will be easier then. That way she can't get him fired if she wants to." That instantly worried me.

"You really think she would do that? Rat us out?"

"It's your mother kizm, she's unpredictable. Especially when she's angry, and she will no doubt not be pleased when she finds out." I nodded my head.

"True. I just hope she doesn't do anything rash." Just then I heard the bell that signaled five minutes until classes would start. "I should go. But thank you, for excepting us and not rating us out."

"Of course, Kizm. Don't forget, be ready to get picked up after your training." I walked out of his room and made my way to my next class, trying to think on the way when I should tell Dimitri that Abe was my father. I knew he knew that something was up, so the sooner the better.

When I got to training after my dinner I realized that Dimitri wasn't in the gym. I beat him here for once! Just as I set my bag down the gym doors opened and in walked Dimitri. "Rose, you're early." I smirked.

"Actually Comrade, I'm on time. You're just late." He gave me a half smile.

"Yes well, I was taking care of some paperwork in the office is all. Let's head out to the track and then spar." I nodded my head and we walked out together. The cool hair felt nice, I looked up to the sky to see the beginning of the sunrise, it was a beautiful orange color. I looked over at Dimitri to find him already looking over at me.

"What are you looking at?" I ask.

"You, and I was thinking how beautiful you are, and how lucky I am to have you." I smile and so does he.

"I want to kiss you Dimitri, so badly."

"Me too Roza, and soon we will be able to kiss and hold hands anywhere we like, without a care in the world." It gave me pleasure in knowing that what he was saying was true. Once we dropped the conversation we went on with our regular training. Once it was over I checked my phone. I didn't have long until my father came to pick me up. I quickly grabbed my things and made my way to the gym doors. "Where are you headed to in such a hurry?" Dimitri out called from behind me.

"I just got places to be Comrade, that's all." All through practice I completely forgotten to tell Dimitri about Abe. It looked like he was about to speak up again but I cut him off. "I will tell you everything that's been going on tomorrow, during our morning training." I knew he wanted answers now but he nodded his head non-the less.

"Okay, goodbye Roza."

"Bye Dimitri." I walked away and quickly made my way to my room. Once in, I showered and got ready. Leaving my hair natural, I dressing in light blue jeans, a white v neck top and my thick red cardigan. As I was slipping on some white sandals I heard a knock on my door. I opened it to be faced with Abe.

"Hey little girl, are you all ready?" I nodded my head.

"Yup." We walked across the school to get to his car, where no doubt his guardians where waiting. Every corner we turned was empty, which made sense seeing as it was now past curfew here. As I was making my way to the car I saw a guardian turn around the school. Turning around I saw that it was Dimitri. We made eye contact instantly. He had his guardian mask up, but I could see a hint of confusion in his eyes at seeing me leave with Abe after curfew. Abe then bent his head close to my ear and whispered.

"I'm guessing you have yet to tell your boyfriend that I'm your father?" I looked away from Dimitri and back at Abe.

"I told him I would tell him everything tomorrow." He smirked.

"Can't wait to have a little chat with the man."

"Baba!" I hissed. "You will not threaten my boyfriend!"

"No one ever said anything about threatening little girl." He winked at me as we got into the car. I could tell that me calling him Baba hadn't gone unnoticed and he now had a bigger grin than before.

D POV

I was doing rounds when I heard footsteps ahead of me. I lightly sped up my pace as I made my way around the corner on the school. Up ahead, walking to a car, was Roza, along with Abe Mazur and two guardians. What is she doing with him? Even after I warned her! I said to myself. And especially now! It's past curfew, the human morning. If it had been night time out I would be worried about a strigoi attack like last time she went out with him. But still, just seeing Roza around someone so dangerous put me on edge. She turned around to look at me, our eyes making contact. I could see Zemy bend down to whisper something to her. She shook her head and said something back. Soon after they were in the car and headed off. What in god's name is she doing? I ask myself.
