Hi Guys, got an earlier update than I planned but it's always a nice surprise :) I'm really glad you guys liked the last chapter, your reviews are always the most fun bit after posting, the reactions are great!

Enjoy

Rose

I knew he was annoyed with me but he wasn't really showing it, it was a typical Dimitri thing. He wasn't snappy or anything but I knew that he wasn't happy that both Christian and Ivan knew. I told him I was sorry and he didn't make a big deal out of it but there was definitely something there that annoyed him.

We were at the club, Tasha wanted a night out and we all ended up going. Lissa took a cab with Tasha and I as Christian was coming with Dimitri in a bit. Walking inside the first thing my eyes landed on was Ivan trapping Viktoria between a wall and himself, making out like there was no tomorrow.

Lissa and Tasha giggled as I face palmed, although I couldn't help but laugh in the end. Clearing my throat we came close as I said, "Contain yourself will you?"

Ivan's head snapped up, surprise written all over his face before a big grin replaced it, "Jealous Hathaway?"

Shaking my head I couldn't help but to feel happy for him, that grin was priceless, "Jealous of you? No thank you" I joked. "Dimitri and Chris will be here soon though, just a heads up"

"Thanks" he said slowly backing up from Viktoria who was sporting a very cute blush. You could tell they didn't want to let go of one another. It was annoyingly cute.

Lissa moved over to Viktoria, grabbing her hand, "We'll go grab a booth and you get the first round?" She asked Ivan being as girly as Lissa could be.

"I'll give you a hand" I said just about to follow Ivan as Viktoria grabbed my wrist pulling me back.

"Don't be mean to him ok?" She looked a bit nervous and I couldn't help but smile.

"Anyone who can make you smile like that" I shrugged, "Don't worry Vika, I'm just giving him a hand with drinks" I said following Ivan towards the bar.

Leaning against the bar, Ivan ordered with a very big satisfied grin on his face. Shaking my head at his careless behaviour I leaned close so he could hear me over the loud music, "You're not planning on doing anything stupid tonight are you?"

Shooting me an amused look he raised his brows, "What does that mean?"

"He's already on edge because you guys know, telling him tonight isn't a great idea" I warned looking around, searching the crowd to him.

"Just chill Rose, I got it" he smiled turning back to the bar man as they were talking. Turning to scan the crowds again I was met by a smirking face. Frowning, there stood McKenzie, that guy from the party who clearly showed interest in me. Dimitri clearly wasn't very keen.

"Hey, Rose right?"

"Yeah" I said not really feeling like being polite "McKenzie, football guy"

"Captain" he corrected with a confident grin.

"Right" I smiled politely as I looked around for Dimitri and Christian.

"Looking for someone?"

Sighing, I knew he was definitely here to try something, "Actually I am" As I was trying to move past him he moved a hand around my waist, pressing his body against my back. "Why don't we dance instead? It'll be much more fun"

I think he was trying to be sly and compliment me by slowly giving me a once over but I just felt like punching him in the face to be honest.

His eyes lingered along my chest and my bare shoulders. I was wearing a black off shoulder mesh top and leather skirt that reached mid thigh. Right now I'm not really sure what I was thinking judging by the disgusting look he had on his face. Backing away from him, but his hands were still on me, I shot him a glare, "Look, captain, I'm not interested, get the hint" I said sternly. "Ivan?" I said a bit louder grabbing his attention.

Turning his eyes instantly fell on McKenzie and I, raising his brows, "You ok?"

"You good Zeklos?" McKenzie asked releasing me.

"Yeah" he said nodding sternly before looking at me "D and Chris are already sitting down, Grab those bottles for me and we'll go" he said shooting McKenzie another look.

"I'm here if you want a good time Rose" He murmured as I walked past. Shaking my head I followed Ivan. Reaching the table they were all looking like they were having a good time, Dimitri was sitting in the middle, next to Tasha and Viktoria. Setting the bottles down, I sighed deeply feeling my skin crawl where McKenzie had put his hands. I jumped a little feeling Ivan's hands on my shoulders, "You ok?"

Meeting his gaze I nodded giving him a small smile, "Yeah, Thank you"

Ivan passed out the drinks before he sat down, moving in to give me a seat, "He's an ass anyway, too many footballs to the head" He joked.

"Who's this?" Lissa asked looking between us.

"McKenzie" Ivan said picking up his bottle, "He was testing his luck"

I could feel Dimitri's eyes on me and I forced myself to meet his. I knew he wasn't happy to hear that. "I'm fine" I mouthed to him but I could see his fist clenching before he reached of his drink.

Tugging at my skirt my eyes went to Viktoria, her eyes clearly glued to the man of her hour. Tasha was telling a story that had Christian look like he was about to be scarred for life as Lissa was bursting into laughter. Viktoria caught my gaze again waving me over. Getting up, I walked over to her side of the table so I could hear her, "Mind if we swap seats?"

I wanted to roll my eyes but only smiled, "Just don't do anything stupid, I think he's on the edge"

"Why?" She asked frowning. Shrugging I stood up more, "God only knows these days"

She gave me a smile as she got up, I thought there was more space between us but nearly bumping into her I took a step back bumping into someone. Looking over my shoulder I wanted to groan.

"Seems like you can't stay away from me" he said with a wide smirk.

Huffing I took a step back, "Trust me, it a very unhappy coincidence"

"You're very sassy, I like that" he said lifting his hand to my face, "Just one dance Rose, that's all I need"

Reaching behind me I caught a hold of my glass, "Get the hint asshole" I snapped as I emptied the contents in his face.

Stepping away from me he looked pissed, "What the fuck? You stupid bitch"

Crossing my arms over my chest I shot him a glare as I huffed "There's plenty more where that came from"

He muttered something under his breath as he stalked off. Tasha was making her way out of the booth with some tissues, "Are you ok?"

Looking over where he disappeared to I took the tissues from her hand, drying my hands off, "Yeah, he just gives me the creeps"

"He's an asshole" she muttered, "Barely half the team likes him"

"And you know this how?" I asked shooting her a weird look. A smile spread on her lips, "I got intel from Mark last night, after he made me come four times and before I gave him this mind blowing blow job"

"How fitting" I joked putting the empty glass down. Lifting my gaze I was searching for Dimitri's, my face sobered up quickly as he wasn't in the booth anymore. Looking over at Christian I asked, "Where did he go?"

"He said he'd be back" he shrugged.

Groaning internally I looked around but all I could see was people dancing. "Just sit again, I'm sure he'll be back" Ivan said as he got out of his seat.

"Where are you going?" I asked studying him.

"I'll get the next round" he shrugged.

"I'll help" Viktoria said getting up as well.

Sighing I murmured, "I'm sure you will"

Sending me a playful look she followed Ivan towards the bar. "I don't think we'll seem again for a while" Tasha joked as we sat back down again.

I didn't like it one bit that I didn't know where Dimitri had gone, not for his sake, I knew he'd be fine, but for the fact that I had a feeling he would start something.

"So there's nothing going on?" My head snapped up as Lissa was leaning over the table speaking to me. I frowned before I shook my head, "Lissa-"

"Because I'm not so sure"

Feeling my heart pound in my chest looked at my best friend, "I can fight my own battles, that's all this is about"

She clearly didn't like my answer as she sat back down again. Exhaling I shook my head.

After a few minutes of constantly scanning the crowds he suddenly appeared. Judging by how he was wiping the back of his hand on his trousers before he ran a hand through his wild hair, getting up I knew exactly where he'd been. "What did you do?" It came out harsher than I meant to but I didn't want him walking around starting a fight.

"I just made a point" he said sternly before looking over my shoulder, I could feel everyone eyes on us. Making his way past me without more than a word, I felt annoyance wash over me, taking a deep breath I turned to the table, "Shots anyone?"

Dimitri narrowed his gaze at me as Christian tried to say something but I ignored it as I turned making my way to the bar. Viktoria and Ivan were nowhere to be seen, shaking my head I went to the bar ordering a round of shots. Crossing my arms I rested against the bar, it was a busy night.

I could feel his presence before he placed a hand on either side of me. Pursing my lips I wasn't really sure what to say, I was frustrated at him starting a fight, disgusted about McKenzie in general. I just wished everything was like normal so we could get lost on the dance floor, dancing our worries away.

"I couldn't just let it pass" he murmured near my ear. I started shaking my head opening my mouth to speak but he got a head of me, "If I can't stand up for you in front of people I fucking intend to when nobody's watching"

Clenching my fists I was still shaking my head, "I don't need you to start a fight, just check up on me"

"That's what I'm doing now"

Turning so I could see him, I kept my arms crossed over my chest, "And going after him that quickly only gives Lissa more reason to believe anything is going on. It was stupid Dimitri"

His breathing picked up as I knew he was annoyed with what I was saying.

Running a hand through my hair I felt tired, "Look, I know your annoyed that Christian and Ivan knows and I am sorry, but you can't just go find a good reason to beat the shit out of someone"

Sighing he moved a few strands behind my ear, "You're right, I'm sorry" he paused before he added, "He still deserved it thought"

Huffing I couldn't help but smile, "Let's just get some shots and we'll go back to the table" I said turning in his arms again getting my purse out.

His lips were close to my ear again, "I really wanna kiss you right now"

Biting my lower lip I shook my head slowly, "That's not possible at this moment"

"You're killing me tonight" he groaned in my ear, "And that skirt is definitely not helping"

Putting the money on the bar I turned once again, grin on my lips as he was clearly teasing me. A familiar laugh near by caught me and on the other end of the bar was Viktoria wrapped around Ivan. I looked away instantly feeling slightly panicked. A nervous smile came onto my lips as I looked up catching Dimitri's gaze. He chuckled at my weird mood change, "What? You just act like you've seen a ghost?"

"Dimitri I-" but before I could say much more his gaze went exactly where mine had been. It was nearly painful as I was watching him. His grin changed to a confused, narrowing his gaze as he said, "Who is-"

Then it clicked.

I felt my heart pounding loud in my chest as I didn't know what was going to happen. Looking over it was as if it all happened in slow motion. Ivan was leaning in kissing Viktoria right on her grinning lips.

Before I could even get some kind of hold of him he was pushing his way to them and I swore under my breath as I hurried after him. "Ivan!" I shouted trying to give him a heads up.

His head snapped up quickly and his eyes instantly fell Dimitri's murderous face. Viktoria's eyes grew wide as Dimitri was right there. I was preparing for a full blow fist fight but all he did was grab Ivan by the collar, snapping something before he started to drag him towards the door.

Catching up with Viktoria, "Just go get Christian ok?" I said before I hurried after them, forcing my way through the crowds.

Pushing through the doors I looked around, my eyes fell on Dimitri as he pushed Ivan away from him as he shouted, "What the fuck man?"

Walking closer Ivan held his hands up, "Look Dimitri I was gonna tell you-"

That's when his fist flew out connecting with Ivan's jaw. "Dimitri!" I shouted running towards him, but he wasn't listening.

Ivan was spitting some blood on the concrete before he pushing himself up, "I know I deserve this, but you gotta hear me out-"

"I don't have to do anything!" Dimitri snapped looking at Ivan as if he was the devil himself. Reaching them I caught a hold of Dimitri's arm, "Let' just go' I said trying to turn him away bet he easily shook me off.

"You knew about this too, didn't you?" I knew he was talking to me even though his eyes were locked onto Ivan.

Sighing I shook my head, "You'll only create more problems if you beat the shit out of him, Viktoria will never forgive you"

His attention turned me to, just like I wanted him to, "Do you think I care? One of my best friends are fucking my sister! You can't expect me to be fucking happy about it" he snapped shooting me daggers.

Viktoria came rushing out, her hand covering her mouth as she saw the small streak of blood from the side of Ivan's mouth.

"Get back inside Viktoria" Dimitri growled as I had lost his focus and he was striding back towards Ivan. She screamed as his fist was about to connect with Ivan's face again but he managed to catch him.

"D just calm down, I'm not just fucking her" Ivan huffed as he was trying to get him off of him.

"Is that suppose to make me feel better?" Dimitri asked venom dripping from his voice. Christian and Lissa came through the doors too now. I held my hand out to them, "Just stay there" I commanded as I knew Christian was about to join in.

Dropping my purse on the ground I made my way closer again, "Rose" Christian warned but I didn't listen. Dimitri was about to pounce on him again, I gathered strength, just as Dimitri was about to throw another fist I used all the force in me pushing him in the other direction.

Stumbling to the side I met Ivan's gaze, "Go!"

Ivan shook his head as his head snapped towards Dimitri he was about to go for him again. Bracing myself I pressed my hands against his chest, "Dimitri" God he's strong, "Dimitri stop!" I half shouted pushing him back.

"Just get out of here Ivan" I groaned before I stepped really hard on Dimitri's foot. He growled as he let up causing me to nearly fall over.

He was still fuming as he ran both hands through his hair before he stalked off in the opposite direction.

"Dimitri!" Christian shouted after him.

Breathing hard I walked over to pick up my purse, "Just go home guys" I said looking over to Dimitri as he was slowly walking away. exhaling heavily "I'll take care of him"

"You sure?" Ivan asked as he was drying his chin with the back of his hand. Viktoria, tears gushing down her cheeks, was right next to him, glaring at Dimitri's back.

"Yeah I'll text you later" I said before I followed him. Running a hand through my hair I kept my eyes on him. I didn't expect him to get that angry but I guess it's a combination of McKenzie and us staying on the down low as well.

Walking up an alley a few blocks down he suddenly turned as I had caught up with him, "Why didn't you tell me?" he said through his teeth.

Keeping my eyes on him I carefully chose my words, "Do you really think I would be the best person to tell you?" I asked trying to stay calm.

"Anyone's better than that" he snapped holding his hand up gesturing towards the club. Shaking his head he didn't look at me, "How long have you known?"

Sighing I shrugged, "She told me a few weeks after I came home, I could tell something was going on though"

Laughing bitterly his icy look found mine, "And you gallantly kept her secret, how sweet"

My brows came together as I felt a spark of anger hit me, "Don't turn this on me. I was being her friend and I told them to tell you, but I told them especially not to tonight, you were already on edge"

"As if that makes a difference"

"it clearly does since you were just about to beat your best friends face in" I snapped back. "Dimitri I get it, she's your little sister, nobody will be good enough but hitting him isn't going to solve anything"

"Maybe it made me feel better" he challenged as I rolled my eyes, "For what? A good few minutes until the guilt washes over you"

Groaning he rubbed his hands over his face, "I'll deal with it, ok? But I don't like the fact that you knew and you didn't tell me"

Bitterness fell over me like a curtain, "Just like I'm not telling Lissa about us?"

His head snapped up and I could tell that broke him. Taking a deep breath he seal the space between us, moving his arms around me. Closing my eyes I breathed in his scent as he was holding me tightly.

Resting my head against his chest he buried his nose in my hair, placing a light kiss then he said "I didn't hurt you did I?"

Shaking my head no I gripped a hold of his shirt, "You are freakishly strong though"

Hearing his warm chuckle rip though his chest, made a smile tug at my lips. Tipping my head back I wanted to see his face. A drop of water hit my forehead as I frowned. Dimitri's lips turned into an amused grin before he leaned forward kissing it away.

Drops of rain started to fall against the concrete, a little faster for each moment that went by. The smell was amazing, I don't know what it was but the smell of rain is one of my favourites.

"We better get going" He said starting to pull away but I only tugged him closer. He studied me for as I said, "No" Leaning in closer, my lips lingering just at the edge of his, "Let's stay" I said as the rain started to fall around us.

He had a lazy smile on his lips as he moved my already damp hair out of my face, his eyes running over me, "You're so beautiful" he murmured before placing his lips on mine. With one hand behind my neck and one in my hair he kissed me passionately in the rain.

It was like a perfect movie scene, all that was missing was the music.

So a bit of drama there! What did you think of Dimitri's reaction? How did Rose handle it? What will happen now?

Lot's of love x
