Chapter 016.

"Ngh, my feet are so sore. Jesus, I am never wearing 6-inch heels ever again. Whoever let me do this was a bad friend" Sitting in the car, I lifted the bottom of my dress up wiggling my toes.

" Ah Roza, you never seize to surprise me. You looked beautiful though, doesn't every one say beauty is pain? You were a beautiful bride and gorgeous wife." I could feel his fingers intertwine with mine and his lips press against my temple.

Blushing slightly, I smiled lightly " thank you, should we go in now? I would love to change." He nodded his head before getting out of the car. Before I could open my door or even really grasp what was happening, my door was opening and I was being scooped into strong arms.

"A-Ah, what are you doing Dimitri? I don't mind walking, Its really okay" I clutched to his suit and one arm around the back of his neck.

"I know you can Roza, but I am very traditional and carrying you across the threshold is one of those many traditions. "

Unlocking the door while holding me, probably wasn't the easiest but Dimitri did it, skilled was what he was. Giggling, he finally made his way over into the house and set my feet down on the plush carpet of our home.

" Even with the smallest of things, I will always be there to help you, don't ever forget that. I know we are not more than just friends but I hope one day we can grow into something more." He hung his head, holding my hands.

" It will take time to fully know the ways with us, but yes I would like that very much too.. But now, enough with being sappy, we had to sit through three and a half hours of that at the reception. It was great and all but I am so exhausted now." Going past Dimitri, I headed toward the staircase and up it.

To be honest, at this moment I knew we were home and we both had a giant bed waiting for us…if you know what I mean. But I was definitely not ready for that, even if it was our wedding night I was not comfortable with fully being with each other, and I hope he knew that. Would he actually make me…surely not? I was so confused, but I was willing to allow something to happen tonight.

Making my way over to the bed I stared at it long and hard, and with a trusting instinct, I took the line of pillows away from the middle of the bed throwing them onto the chair in the corner of the room. The least I could do now was be able to sleep in the same bed, side by side without having a wall of pillows in between us.

"Are you sure that's okay Rose? " I spun around to meet Dimitri standing in the doorway, suit jacket draped over his arm, and his tie undone. Even undone he still looked amazing.

I nodded. "yes, the least I can do is make more room on our bed for you, I cant believe you haven't complained about the pillows squishing you at night, giving you no room. You really don't complain do you?" He gave a chuckle.

"I know it was a step for you to allow me into the bed, and it was much comfier then our sofa, so I dare not complain about anything." I turned back around heading into our private bathroom closing the door behind me. I could here him rustling about in his things probably changing.

Staring into the mirror, I gave myself a quick look over once again, taking in my appearance for the final time tonight. My makeup and hair still beautiful and this dress, this dress was amazing fit for a queen that's for sure. But now it was time to turn back into a pumpkin and set it in the back of my closet.

Opening the garment bag on the back of the door, I set the hanger on the sink and reached behind me to undo the dress ties. I got about three of them unlaced from the corest but it was a real struggle that's for sure.

"God dammit, undo you stupid dress." Grunting on it, I could feel tears in the back of my eyes. I just wanted it off. I was frustrating myself and my nerves weren't making it any better, I still didn't know how to tell Dimitri that we just needed to go straight to sleep no funny business. Until then though, I needed to be an adult about this and ask my husband to undo my dress. Husband…. That was so weird to say.

Unlocking the door, I took a deep breath and walked out. Dimitri laid on the bed holding a book in his hand, probably a western he told me he loved. He looked up slightly, and than all the way when he saw what I was still dressed in.

"Sorry to bother you, but I really need your help getting out of this. B-but no funny business got it?" Stuttering a small smile graced his lips as he put his book down and walked over to me, putting his hands on the sides of my face.

"Rose, you do not need to be so nervous. I know what you're thinking right now and because it's our wedding night. Do not feel like you are obligated to have sex with me. That is most certainly not what you need to think about okay? I mean yes, its treat to have " At that I quickly smacked his chest while blushing profusely. His laugh only made it worse. " But I would never EVER force that on you? Alright?"

I nodded and not trusting my voice, I turned around, pulling my hair forward to reveal my back.

"Jeez they really have you in there don't they?" I could feel his warm fingers start to tug and pullthe strings free, giving me breathing room. I didn't know I could breathe so much better until now! Feeling his fingers against my back, let a slight shiver run down my spine, and all I could do was hold my breath as his fingers lingered on my back, running over a scar that I had for a while.

"I didn't know you had a scar like that?" His voice curious. Holding the front of my dress up, I turned to look at him. " It was from a long time ago, not something I really want to think about maybe another time." He gave me a smile and nodded toward the bathroom.

Taking this opportunity, I headed into the bathroom to change.

Re-emerging from the bathroom, I noticed that Dimitri had taken his position back on the bed, book laying on his chest, and his eyes closed. He had fallen asleep.

He must have been just as nervous as me, just better at hiding it. Smiling I walked over to the bed and turned his lamp out, climbing in on my side. I could hear his gentle breathing and see the light movement of his chest rising and falling. Even in the dark he was mesmerizing.

Taking his book and putting it on the table, I grabbed the blankets and pulling them up to his torso, and climbed under them myself. And with great bravery, I scooted over to his side, closer than I really have ever been and laid my head on his chest with an arm draped over his torso.

As I laid there I could feel my heart pounding in my chest , but it soon settled down, and the feeling of his pulse gently lulled me to sleep, my thoughts finally settling on my first night with my husband Dimitri Belikov, and I now Rosemarie Ivanna Hathaway Belikov. No longer a Mazur by name.
