Drabble:39
POV:Third Person
It had been over two weeks since Rose last saw Dimitri. With her university schedule, duties as Lissa's guardian and him taking on extra shifts at Court, nowadays they couldn't even find time to talk.
Rose immersed herself in her studies, went out for sports, even turned to compulsive cleaning, trying to put her ever-growing frustration out of her mind, but it only succeeded to make her more irritable and grumpy. So it was no wonder that on the weekend, a Dimitri-deprived Rose was spending her time alone in her dorm room, while Lissa was out and about with her guardians and new friends. Rose did her homework, kick-boxed for a while trying to drive away her frustration (didn't help one bit), took a shower, ate and then, dropped to bed. She had just fallen asleep, when her phone rang, pissing her off.
"What?", she snapped into the offending device.
"I woke you." It was him. Her pulse quickened at the mere sound of his beautiful voice. She sat bolt upright, totally awake now.
"That's okay.", she replied casually, trying to calm her heartbeat.
"I need to see you.", he said softly.
Rose didn't want to whine about how much she missed him, so she tried to change the topic. "Where are you?"
"In the hallway outside your door."
"What!", she exclaimed, standing up. Just then, a knock resounded on her door. She dropped her phone and raced to the door.
"What are you doing out there?", she asked him through the door.
"Trying to be patient.", he replied simply and the desire to throw herself into his arms shook her.
With trembling hands, she unlocked the deadbolt and flung open the door to find him standing in his brown duster, clutching an overnight bag, his handsome face lined with exhaustion. She stood there, unblinking, afraid that he'd vanish if she closed her eyes.
Dimitri looked her over, then stepped inside, shut the door behind him, and drew her into his embrace. "God, I've missed you!", he mumbled into her hair.
"I missed you, too!" She buried her face against his neck.
They stood there, arms locked around each other, swaying slightly. They didn't utter one word, instead poured all their love into long, significant looks, soft kisses and tender caresses.
When Lissa returned to her dorm, late that night, she expected to be chastised by an ever-irate Rose. Instead, she found her roomie in her bed, sleeping. Tucked into Dimitri's chest. Lissa smiled at Dimitri, who was awake and brushing Rose's hair as she reposed against him. She mouthed the name of another female guardian on campus, and when he nodded gratefully, she tiptoed out of the room to spend her night and probably the rest of the weekend, exiled out of her own room. But she couldn't find it in her heart to grudge this little inconvenience to Rose and Dimitri. God knows they deserved some time alone!
