Drabble:61
POV:Third Person
"Rose, come on!", Dimitri entreated again. "Talk to me!"
"Comrade, its nothing, leave me alone.", Rose pronounced, tight-lipped, dragging her irritated eyes away from his soulful ones, as she continued pacing across their bedroom.
Dimitri was mystified, absolutely. Earlier that evening, he had collected her from Guardian HQ and taken her to one of her favorite restaurants in Court. He'd expected she'd be elated, but the reality was far from it. She was already in a foul mood when he'd collected her, and throughout the evening her mood had only soured further. In fact, she didn't wait till desserts, insisting on coming home as soon as they were through the main course. What Dimitri had hoped would be a romantic date had turned into a total disaster and the poor guy had no idea why…
He continued observing his girlfriend from his vantage on their bed, watching her as she paced around, her face wrinkled with irritation. And no matter how much he pleaded with her, she just wouldn't tell him what was bothering her. Finally, unable to take it anymore, he got up and took her by the shoulders. "Roza, tell me what's bothering you. Now", he ordered in his serious-I'm-in-no-mood-for-bullshitting-anymore voice.
Rose bristled at that, but after glaring at him some time, surprisingly she complied. Her shoulders sagged as she admitted, "It's just the way they stare at you. God! Don't they have eyes? Can't they see you're taken?"
"What are you talking about?", he asked her, frowning in puzzlement, as he pulled her towards the bed.
"Females!", Rose exclaimed, throwing her hands up in the air in exasperation.
"Females?", Dimitri asked, still confused.
"Yes, Comrade! Females!", Rose said, turning her irritated gaze on her boyfriend. "The female guardians at HQ, our waitress and maitre d', your fans back at the restaurant. They keep on making googly eyes at you and undressing you with their eyes".
Dimitri pondered over this as he reclined on the bed, bringing Rose down with him. "And that's bothering you because?" , Dimitri trailed off, arching an eyebrow.
"I don't like them ogling you like that", Rose admitted, snuggling into his chest. "You're mine".
"As you're mine", Dimitri proffered, pulling her in for a kiss.
"Now, you have no reason to be concerned about my fan-base", Dimitri continued when they broke the kiss. "But I don't like seeing you unhappy, Roza. So tell me, how I can make it better?"
"Well, I had an idea", Rose said slowly, giving him her most seductive man-eater smile. Dimitri's stomach sunk in trepidation as he accepted the inevitable.
And that's how Dimitri spent a month going about Court, wearing a tag on his jacket's back that said 'Property of Rose Hathaway'.
