So it all starts! Rose and Dimitri are finally together, but how will it work?

Find out, Enjoy!

Rose

Sitting in class my phone vibrates. Seeing his name pop up on my screen I bite my nail. All I can think sbout is how he held me on the dance floor the other night, how he kissed me as if I was his most treasured possession.

Sliding the lock open I read his text:

D: "What you doing this afternoon?"

Biting my lip I try holding back a smile,

R: "Who's asking?"

I knew that would annoy him but I couldn't help myself. It took a few minutes before my phone went off again. Smiling I finished writing down what the professor was preaching about before looking at my phone.

D: "Very funny… You never answered my question"

R: "Are you always this serious? …what did you have in mind?"

D: "Netflix and chill?"

I nearly laughed out loud, before I could reply he sent another text,

D: "Was that too pick up line-y? Seriously tho, I just want hang out. Come to mine?"

Exhaling, I paused not really knowing what to say. I loved this side of him, it's like the real Dimitri's back. The flirty and incredibly funny side that made me fall for him in the first place. Just thinking about us being alone in a room after our night dancing made me almost too excited. Then there was another aspect that made me second guess it all. Call me pathetic, but knowing how he had been "rolling" during my years away, even being near his bed made me want to heave. I'm not saying I was a saint either, I had plenty of men too so I'm no better, but not in my bed.

Trouble is, how do I tell him this without making myself sound pathetic or like a jealous bitch?

R: "Don't you live with Christian and Ivan?"

I was trying to find an excuse not to go to his. It didn't take him long to reply,

D: "…So?"

R: "I thought we were going to lay low?"

Putting my phone in my bag for the last ten minutes of class I tried hard t stay focused, but it was hard not to let my mind wonder. When the bell rang I instantly reached for my phone.

D: "Meet me at my Mama's after school, she's working late and my sisters have plans"

Before I could reply Tasha appeared, "Have you seen Viktoria?" Judging by the slightly worried look on her face I assumed things hadn't gone great last night with Ivan.

"Not since last night, why?"

Pursing her lips she continued, "I think Ivan wanted to talk to her again, I had class so I couldn't check on her before, she texted me beforer class and I haven't heard form her since"

"They did seem like they were getting into it last night" I said running a hand through my hair. "But they left before I could check in with her" Before Tasha could ask what I was doing I asked, "But how was your date?" Slyly changing subject.

That sent her into a rant on how good looking this guys dick was. I love this lady but I haven't had this much details before in my life. Just as I was about to tell her to chill with the details Dimitri appeared over her shoulder, he raised a brow my way and I realised I hadn't replied to his text.

Clearing my throat as he was within hearing, "Have you seen Viktoria?"

He frowned slightly before looking over at Tasha, "No, not since this morning, why?"

"I just haven't seen her since last night" I said without meeting his gaze. Ugh, I have no idea how to act now. Tasha right there and I know Dimitri's here to get an answer to his text.

"Do you want me to drop Sonya a text to see if she knows where she is?" I was almost surprised at how helpful he was being, I could tell Tasha definitely was as she was studying him.

"No that's fine" I half smiled before picking my phone up, "I'll just try texting her now, do you have class over in the science building now Tasha?"

"Yeah" she smiled, "Just need to grab some books and I'm good to go"

"Cool" I smiled as she turned to open her locker that was just a couple of rows down. Meeting Dimitri's gaze I mouthed, "What do you want?"

He could tell I was a bit stressed with the whole situation and I clearly didn't know how to act. He snickered, "Are you coming later or not?"

I bet we must look right stupid mouthing backwards and forwards hoping Tasha wouldn't see. Nodding I looked over to see Tasha wasn't looking, "I'll meet you there"

Tasha closed her locker, Dimitri was still holding my gaze before he winked, "See you girls later" and he disappeared down the hall.

"What was that about?" Tasha asked. I could feel her eyes on me as she was trying to figure me out. Shrugging I shook my head, "I don't know, I think he's trying to be nice, but he's trying too hard"

A smirk painted her face, "I can tell you about someone who didn't need to try to hard last night" before wiggling her brows. Rolling my eyes again she dragged me down the hall yet again giving me too much information.

Pulling into my drive way I felt a bit nervous for some reason. This was the first proper planned thing where we were spending time alone. Yes he had asked me to come the other night but our friends were there, well not in the end but anyway. What if it was awkward?

Getting out I leaned against the car as I could hear his motorcycle come down the road. Seeing him on his bike was almost as if he was ticking boxes for a new bad boy romance I'd find on my kindle. Soppy as it sounds he had the whole package, the sexy hair, the body, that smile and lord that laugh. The bike was an added plus.

He had always had a weird effect on me, no matter what he was doing it impacted me ten fold. For exampled, just seeing him at school made my stomach tingle a little. He was wearing a hoodie and jeans, nothing revealing but I could still see myself wanting to pull him close until he was all over me. To be fair it wasn't like I was dressed to impress either in my oversized knitted sweater and blue skinny jeans.

Pulling his helmet off after he parked across from me he gave me one of those panty dropping smiles. Crossing my arms loosely I was trying to shake the thoughts out of my head, but it was definitely easier said then done.

"You Ok?" he asked still straddling his bike, I couldn't help myself but to study him as he was just sitting there looking sexy as fuck.

It was almost as if he could read my mind when he said, "You can straddle me on here if you want?" I opened my mouth to say what would be a smart reply, but when nothing came out straight away he chuckled, "I can definitely see you thinking about that one" he winked before getting off, when he didn't get a reply he looked my way "And I thought I was the serious one?"

Pushing myself off of my car I grabbed my bag walking around the fence to his side, "Let's just go inside" I said as I was shaking my head.

He was chuckling as I walked past before jogging to catch up with me. It felt nearly normal as he placed his hand on my lower back as I was walking up the small steps before he was unlocking the door.

The Belikov house hold had a warm tone to it, it always felt at home. The cozy kitchen Olena was constantly poking around in, the living room had toys spread around as well as a big sofa that could nearly swallow you whole as you sunk into it.

Putting my bag down Dimitri told me to get comfy as he moved into the kitchen, "What do you wanna drink?"

"Does your mum still make ice tea?" I asked hoping for the best. Olena Belikov was a queen in the kitchen and I would die happy if she would cook for me for the rest of my days. Walking into the living room it felt very familiar. Hearing him come down the hall with two tall glasses in hand, "The day she stops making this I'll give her an ear full" he joked before putting the glasses down on the coffee table.

He reached for the bottom of his hoodie and started to pull it off. I could help but to feel awkward, but I couldn't not look either. The t-shirt he was wearing underneath was riding up and I strangled a groan seeing the V disappearing down his low riding jeans.

Chucking the hoodie on the back of the sofa his gaze met mine as I raised my brows at him. He narrowed his eyes as he took me in, "What?"

"Stripping already?"

A smirk spread on his face "I'm hot and is that all you think about these days?"

Grabbing my drink I sipped it as I sat down, "You know what I mean, although it wouldn't surprise me if you'd turned into Magic Mike in your down time"

"If that gets you going I'll see what I can do" he said as he half laid down ton he sofa next to me. Annoyingly is body was very warm, like always, I use to love cuddling up next to him on cold nights.

He was just holding my gaze as I put my drink down before leaning back. I felt a bit on edge as I started to play with a strand of my hair, "So Netflix and chill huh?"

A relaxed smile spread on his lips, "I knew it'd make you smile"

Biting my lower lip I tried to hold back a smile but failed. His eyes shifted to my lips and it was as if he couldn't help but lick his lips. Squirming slightly under his gaze I swallowed hard. The air between us could switch so quickly. Determination flashed in his eyes before he breathed, "Fuck it"

He got up as he was kneeling in the sofa, grabbing my calfs pulling me down slightly, I couldn't help but giggle as he did. Moving forward, he was hovering above me, his body not touching mine. My breathing was slightly uneven as he was studying me for a good few moments before he said, "Will you be disappointed if we skip the actual Netflix and chill?"

Pushing myself up so my face was only inches away from his, shaking my head slowly I grabbed a fistful on his t-shirt pulling him close, "We'll just do this" and sealed the space between us. Groaning against my lips it was as if all his control just went out the window.

Laying back down his body was pressing me further into the sofa. Spreading my legs so he could get closer it was my turn to groan as his already hard dick pressed against me. Both my hands were cupping his face as his tongue begged for entrance. Moving my hands into his hair I granted him access as his hand was cupping my hip, fingers digging into me.

His tongue was moving with mine as his hands traveled up, finding a gap between my jeans and my knitted sweater. Gasping against his lips, the feel of his rough finger tips against my bare skin was exhilarating.

Biting his lower lip he grunted as my arms moved around his neck. "How is it you still do this to me?" The words were slipping off my tongue too easy, but I was in a haze that only he could create.

Sucking on my bottom lip he huffed, "You've been driving me crazy for weeks, if I didn't I'd probably just stop trying" he murmured against my skin before burying his face between my neck and shoulder, something that he always had done back in the day. I moaned as he nipped at my sensitive skin, hitching my leg around his hip.

Keeping my eyes shut as he was nipping and licking at my skin I was squirming against his body. Moving my sweater off of my shoulder he placed a light kiss there before he said, "How come you didn't want to go to mine earlier?"

Not sure if he was still looking at me I bit my lower lip, squeezing my eyes shut silently wishing he hadn't asked that.

Propping himself up on his elbows so he could scan my face I looked up in the ceiling. For some reason admitting something that might not be a bit deal felt very difficult but I had no clue why. I think it's the thought of his sleep with an endless amount of women, how he's used every move he had on them as he had on me.

"We could always tell each other anything" The way his voice was soft and warm forced me to meet his gaze. Studying his face I was amazed how this man could be so gorgeous and amazing at the same time.

Chewing on my lower lip I moved some hair out of his face, before I said anything he muttered, "Stop doing that" his eyes were on my lips, "Or else I won't be able to wait for your excuse"

Snickering I grinned, "So I can't squat and now I can't bite my lip? Anything else I can't do?"

He got up, resting his forehead against mine, "It's distracting"

Not being able to stop myself I reached up placing my lips on his again. Kissing me back before pulling back he shook his head cursing under his breath, "All of you is distracting"

Taking it as a compliment I smiled, "Thank you"

"Now answer my question Rose, why won't you come to mine?"

Exhaling I ran a hand through my hair, I couldn't help but feel fidgety as he put on the spot. "Ok it might sound stupid but, how many girls have you fucked in that bed?"

He made a face instantly as the words left my lips. Judging by his reaction I shook my head, "I don't need a figure, my point is I'm not going near that it's just-" burying my face in my hands I could feel my cheeks burning, "Just the thought of all those girls you've fucked in that bed and then me being all up in that, it just makes my skin crawl" I say feeling very uncomfortable as the words left my lips.

Sitting up I think he was contemplating what I was saying. When he didn't say anything I felt like I completely killed whatever was going on.

"Sorry I shouldn't have said anything"

Sighing he shrugged, "It's a valid point, I'd probably feel the same if someone else had slept in your bed" Pausing he looked down at me, "No one has have they?"

Rolling my eyes, "In that bed, it's been nobody than you"

Frowning at my reply I sighed cause it didn't sound great. Clearing my throat I sat up more as he moved back to sit next to me, "If this is going to get close to working can we agree on something?"

He was studying me but nodded carefully for me to continue.

"Whatever that has happened over these last six years, we can't hold it against each other, you've done what you've… done, but I wasn't that much of a saint either. We can't change it. Is that fair?"

Leaning back against the headrest he ran a hand through his hair, scratching his head as he was studying me curled up on one end of the sofa. In the end he nodded but his gaze was still firm on me. I could help but ask, "What's on your mind?"

"Now this mind sound stupid but do you have a number?"

At first I frowned now sure what he meant until it clicked, my browse rouse. Clearing my throat, "Um yours is higher than mine any way" when he didn't look too please with my answer I sighed, "Do you really want hear about how many guys I've fucked Dimitri? Cause even if you had a vague clue I wouldn't wanna know"

Hold his hands up he made a face, "True, forget about it"

Now shit was truly awkward. Part of me was regretting even having this conversation, but the other half knew it needed to happen at some point.

Dimitri was deep in thought as he was staring into nothing, I knew there was only one way of fixing this. Shifting over I kneeled next to him before I slung a leg over him, straddling his lap. He look a tad surprised with his brows raised as his hands fell comfortably on my thighs. Fiddling with the fabric of his t-shirt I took a deep breath before I said, "Don't let this go to your head and if you mention this to anyone I might have to hurt you"

He looked amused as I continued, "Nobody um, nobody beat you though"

Now it was his turn to frown before the dots connected and a satisfied grin spread on his lips, "Is that so?" He raised a brow clearly wanting more details. "So what did you miss most about me?" he asked squeeing my thighs.

"Well it sure wasn't your cocky attitude" I huffed crossing my arms under my chest. He chuckled before unfolding my arms, lacing out fingers together, "But you have missed me?" He dared me to answer as I came closer.

I wanted him to know that I was still in control even after what I had just told him. I moved our laced up fingers towards my boobs, placing his hands at the edge of me. Before he could start to explore I moved his hands down, my eyes never wavering from his as I kept going. As we reached my hips I moved his hands back, towards my ass, I started to grind on him. His hands dug into my back pockets as I was grinding on him I leaned close, "Just as much as you missed me" I breathed sexily against his lips

Before I had time to react his lips had caught mine as he pulled me flush against him. One of my hands were cupping his face as I deepened the kiss as my other hand was playing with the collar of his t-shirt.

His hands were greedy as he was squeezing my ass, pressing his dick against me, making me moan, leaning my head back as he kissed my neck. His hands found the gap between my sweater and jeans again as his hands caressed my naked skin.

"The things you do to me" I groaned as I went for his lips again, my hands grabbing his sexy hair tugging his head back.

"If we weren't in my mother's living room-" he said between kisses, "I'd be buried so fucking deep inside you right now"

I moaned at the sound of that breathing, "More" against his lips. I had never been one for dirty talk, ever, not even way back when. But whatever words that were leaving his lips turned me on so much I felt like I'd reached the next level.

But before he could tell me anything else, keys were in the door before it flung open.

"Oh!" a very surprised Olena was standing in the door way with some food shopping in hand.

It had to be quite the picture to walk in to. Me straddling Dimitri's lap as his hands were under my top as my hands were tangled up in his hair. Both our lips swollen after kissing and breaths uneven. But I think to both our surprise her whole face suddenly lit up as she said, "How nice to see you both acting all civilised" There was definitely humour in her voice.

Covering my face with my hands I strangled laughter before moving off of Dimitri, falling back onto the sofa again. Dimitri ran a hand through his hair clearing his throat, "I thought you were working late tonight mama"

She raised a brow towards her one and only son, clearly not happy with his tone of voice, "And I thought you said you weren't coming over today, we clearly both had a change of plans"

I could help but chuckle at what she had said. Olena Belikov is hands down the coolest woman alive.

Dimitri was shooting his mother gates as she said, "There are a few more bags in the car if you don't mind, Rose do you have a drink darling?" she asked as she carried her bags in to the kitchen.

Picking my now empty glass up I followed her into the kitchen, meeting Dimitri's gaze as he was on his way out. I smiled before I found Olena in the kitchen pulling out the ice tea from the fridge.

"Here you go sweet" she grinned putting the jug on the table, "I can't say I'm not surprised seeing you here, but it's a lovely surprise" she said cupping my cheek.

Dimitri entered with three more bags of shopping he placed on the kitchen island as I poured myself another drink.

"I was just telling Rose I'm happily surprised she's here, I was starting to think I might have to dis-invite my own son for lunch so I could have one of my favourite daughter in-law around" she said winking at me as Dimitri was helping her unpack.

"Like you would uninvited your own child?" Dimitri said in disbelief looking at his mother. She shot him a look that said Don't test me!

"How was your day Olena?" I asked helping to take the heat of Dimitri.

"Very good thank you, work is a bit mental at the moment but it's nothing I can't handle. Your mother came over the other day, bless her heart, I have missed that woman" she smiled, "How was yours?" she asked sending me a pointed look.

Biting my lower lip it was hard not to smile, "It's been alright"

"I'm sure it has" She said looking over at Dimitri as he was putting stuff in the fridge.

"Alright, alright" Dimitri said, "Don't make a big deal out of this mama, we're still testing the waters"

"I'm sure you are" Olena winked my way. This woman never got embarrassed which made this whole situation even more entertaining.

"I did come here to ask you something though" Dimitri said leaning against the counter looking at his mother, "Do you know where I can get a new mattress for the flat?"

As I had just taken a sip of my drink I started coughing as I heard the the words leave his mouth.

"What's wrong with the one you have?" Olena asked confused.

"It's giving me back pain" he took my glass that I had just put down to take a sip, "It's just not good enough anymore"

"I'll see what I can find" she smiled, completely clueless. As she turned away Dimitri sent me a wink. I face palmed myself as Dimitri looked smug.

Then the front door opened again as I could hear Sonya's voice fill the hallway, "Just tell me what happened!" she demanded as there was some shuffling around.

Olena walked to the door way, "What's going on?"

"Viktoria won't tell me what's going on" Sonya grumbled as she walked into the kitchen, "Hey Rose" her face lit up, looking over to see Dimitri was there too an amused look painted her face. "What a lovely surprise"

"Is Rose here?" Viktoria's voice came form the hallway and when she appeared I felt my heart break for her. She had clearly been crying and I knew exactly who had caused that.

Before I could think about it all I could say was, "He's being an ass still huh?"

"Who is?" Both Sonya and Dimitri said in unison. My head snapped over to Dimitri as Viktoria groaned before disappearing down the hall. I was about to follow her when i felt Dimitri's familiar fingers around my wrist. Meeting his gaze I gave him a small smile, "Just give me a few minutes ok?"

He studied me, hoping to figure out who the culprit was but when he realised it was pointless, I wasn't going to kiss and tell, he nodded before letting go.

Moving down the hallway I knew exactly where her room use to be, her door was slammed shut but I knocked twice before opening it, "Viktoria?"

Peeking inside she was laying face down on her bed sobbing into her pillow. Sadness drew over me as I closed the door behind me before I sat down next to her, stroking her back.

"What happened?" I asked carefully. She didn't answer me at first, she was just shaking her head.

"Tasha told me he wanted to talk to you at school today? I tried calling you but I couldn't get through"

She huffed, wiping her cheek with the back of her hand, "He's just being an ass, we have nothing to talk about"

"So what happened?" I asked feeling anger burn in the pit of my stomach. I know she didn't need that right now, but I definitely knew the person who would get my rage. "What happened last night? Dimitri told me you guys left together"

"Well" I could see the tears were at the brim as she sat up, "We went to his flat, I mean fuck Rose" she groaned into her pillow as tears spilled over, "The nights are always so damn great, seriously" she met my gaze, "I don't get it, then as soon as the sun comes up and we're going to school he just pushes me away. So I told him he can't keep doing this, he either gets me or he doesn't and I left their place. He wouldn't stop texting me and he caught me between classes and we just have the same conversation all over again. I know I deserve so much better but he keeps knowing my weak spots and I can't not go back to him"

Pulling her close I hugged her tight. I knew exactly what she was talking about. I know telling her to drop him isn't what she needed, it wouldn't help. It's always easier said than done.

"Just cry babe" I murmured into her hair, "We'll get through this, I promise"

So I just held her, held her as one of my best friends cried over a guy that I was plotting his death.

What did you guys think of the Belikov house scene? Finally a steamy make out session, oh how we have been waiting! Where will they take their relationship next? Also, the drama in Ivan/Viktoria land. What will happen with them?

Let me know xx
