Drabble:11
POV:Rose
"And I was right!", I exclaimed the moment Sydney left.
"Are you sure? She didn't seem quite….how shall I put it, lovesick.", Dimitri said, shifting so he was hugging me from behind.
"Did you see the way she was squirming when I made those suggestive comments? And the googly eyes they were making while they were dancing? Come on, even you had to notice that!", I said, wrapping my hands over his, pulling him closer.
"And you're okay with that?", he asked, nuzzling my neck.
"Not really, but I know love when I see it…and let me tell you those two are head over heels.", I paused, watching Adrian steal a glance at Sydney from his table. "And I'm happy for them, Adrian especially….I still feel bad about the way things ended between us."
"I know Roza, and you're right. In some ways they are perfect for each other.", Dimitri acquiesced, rocking our bodies slowly, in tune with the music " He's been more sober and responsible with her around, and she has loosened up. They also complement each other, both looks and personality-wise. But still, a human and moroi? That is pretty unorthodox, won't you agree?"
"Unorthodox doesn't even begin to cover it, but is there any reasoning for love?I gotta hand it to Adrian, he sure knows how to pick 'em. First me, now Sydney…What's next? A strigoi?", I snickered quietly, imagining Adrian introducing a strigoi to his father as the love of his life.
"Roza, be serious", Dimitri chided, and I knew he wasn't just talking about my idiotic comment.
"Comrade, our relationship was also deemed unacceptable by our society, but look where we are now.", I said, turning my head to look at him better. "Together. And in love. And doing our jobs, protecting the moroi. And we should have this conversation somewhere more private, don't you think?"
"Is this you trying to seduce me?", Dimitri teased, arching an eyebrow. And then, he proceeded to place soft, butterfly kisses all over my exposed neck.
"Stop it you! Behave!", I scolded, slapping his forearm. "Your break is almost over now, and I gotta go see if Sonya needs anything. I'll see you later, okay?"
" Sonya knows, I think", Dimitri said quietly, gesturing to where Sonya and Mikhail were posing for photos.
"Damned woman is just too good at reading auras", I muttered under my breath, disentangling myself from Dimitri's embrace. He chuckled at that.
"I love you Roza", he said, placing one last kiss on the top of my head.
"Forever and always", I said, walking towards the bridal party's table.
"Forever and always", Dimitri repeated with a smile, as he disappeared behind a pillar.
I hope you guys recognize where i took the scene from...for those of you not in the know, this happens at Sonya and Mikhail's wedding, after Sydney talks with Rose and Dimitri after she dances with Adrian.
