Just to clarify I'm sticking with the only time rose had sex was with Dimitri...
so the kid is his. Also I'm sorry I've been spelling Lissa's name wrong, I've fixed it.
As we were walking, I started to think about how much I was going to regret going tonight. Lyssa still had darkness left over in her but she was ignoring it. I concentrated and slowly took it all from her. As I did that I noticed the pain in my head returning.
When all of the darkness in Lissa was gone, my headache was pounding into my skull. I ignored it, I didn't want to draw any more attention to myself. Lissa walked over and joined Christian and Tasha's conversation. They were talking about the swimming pool Ambrose had mentioned earlier.
I didn't want to talk to anyone. I walked silently a few feet behind them. I heard someone approaching us from behind. I looked over my shoulder and saw Dimitri catching up to our group. I looked ahead of myself again. A few moments later he was walking beside me. The headache in my head wasn't going away and I was in mood to talk to him. I ignored him.
Dimitri Cleared his throat, his voice was hushed and he sounded unsure of himself. "Was what Lissa said back there true? About you." I glared at him.
"It's none of your business, comrade." I used his nickname in a spiteful tone. "You're not my mentor so I'm not your problem, and I have the worst headache in the world right now. I do NOT want to talk to anyone. Especially you." He seemed hurt but I didn't feel that guilty.
"Rose, I'm sorry." I put my hand up and stopped him again.
"If you were sorry you won't talk to me. You can be my neighbor who pretends I don't exist. You chose to leave me when I needed you the most. I'm not going to be just there when it's convenient for you." I stopped myself. I just looked at him for a moment. I couldn't read his expression. I walked over to Lissa.
"What are you guys talking about?" Christian had a mischievous grin on his face.
"Nothing Rosie" I cringed the new nickname. "Just new things being built at court over the summer. You know think is going to call you that from now on. I rolled my eyes
"Then from now on consider my normal greeting a punch in the face." He laughed a little and started to talk to his Aunt. "So Lissa are you going to get yourself wasted tonight?"
"Rose, I'm not legally allowed to drink yet. I thought you want me to get my spot on the council." She was joking but she also had a point.
"I know, I know, but we never really celebrated after graduation. We can consider tonight our graduation/new house party."
"Alright maybe I'll have a few drinks but I'm not going to embarrass myself." I nodded and we walked in a comfortable silence the rest of the way there. When we got inside Tasha went up to the lady at the hostess table.
"I booked a room for Ozera this morning." The hostess was a Moroi with Black hair and Hazel Eyes. She grabbed a small basket and led us up a flight of stairs that led to a balcony. You could see below the bar next to a dance floor that was filled with mostly moroi. The music playing was loud and heavy with bass. My head felt like it was going to explode.
We walked into a room that had a small kitchen and a set of couches that encircled a coffee table that was covered in coasters. The room had lights that were dimmed slightly and mostly grey and gold furniture. I went and sat on the largest sofa next to Christian and Lissa. When the hostess walked out and closed the door the music nearly muted, there was only a faint drum beat that you could hear.
I saw Tasha was sitting in the loveseat looking at the drinks menu when she looked up at us.
"Doing any of you guys want me to order you a drink." I know Tasha was never much of a rule follower but come on, she was offering to break the law the first night we got here. I didn't want to get kicked out for something so stupid until I was here for at least a week. I shook my head and thanked her for the offer. Except I didn't know whether or not I was actually grateful she offered. Christian however had a complete different response.
"Please, I'm going to party hard tonight, I almost died too many times this year to hold back." Lissa looked at him a little stunned at how true his last comment was. She regained her composure and looked at Tasha.
"I think I'll just have a Shirley Temple." Tasha took the order pad out of the basket the hostess left and began writing down the orders. She looked back up at me.
"Are you sure you don't want anything. I really don't mind." I was about to ask for a beer when I remembered what Lissa told me earlier. I shouldn't be drinking alcohol, it's probably not good for the baby.
"Actually can you get me a coke please?" She wrote down the last of the orders and went over to the door. She opened it and clipped the paper on to the door.
The music blasted into the room and made my head feel like it was about to split open. As Tasha came back into the room someone opened the door. The hostess came back in followed by Dimitri. The hostess looked at Tasha.
"He is part of your party correct?" Tasha nodded and the hostess opened the door again and walked out of the room. The music came pouring into the room. I covered my ears and cringed until the door was closed again completely. I looked around the room and noticed everyone was staring at me, all of them looked concerned I listened to Lissa's thoughts.
'I knew I shouldn't have let you go tonight.'
I looked around again and then back at Lissa. "Guys I'm fine I just didn't think the music was going to be that loud." Lissa frowned.
"Rose it's not that loud out there. If you want we can…"
"No, I'm fine I'm just going to stay in here. I promise if I need to go home I'll leave." Lissa wasn't totally convinced but knew better than to argue. Christian however never knew when to keep his mouth shut around me.
"Lissa's right you've had a long day it probably wouldn't hurt if…" I snapped a little.
"NO, I'm fine I can here trying to distract myself from the real problems in my life not to be interrogated." I felt a little bad so I stopped and looked at the floor. I noticed Dimitri sitting in the armchair beside me. I thought he would have sat with Tasha. Lissa grabbed my hand.
"If you promise to tell me when you want to go home, I promise to stop asking." She was focused on my and had a pleading expression on her face.
"Fine." Christian stood up well then who's ready to have a good time?" A waiter walked in with a cart. He put our drinks on the coffee table and left. The music still sounded too loud and the pain in my head wasn't going away. I grabbed the can of coke and followed the others out of the room.
I forced myself to adjust to the music. It was killing me but after a little while the pain became a little more bearable. I watched Christian and Lissa dancing together, both of them were a little tipsy but not out of control. Tasha was taking to another women who looked a little older than her. Based on her appearance I could easily see she was another Ozera. I was standing at the edge on the room just people watching while I tried to keep my headache at bay.
Adrian walked over. "Little dhampir I'm surprised to see you here. I would have thought you would have been sleeping by now." I knew he was oblivious to the reaction my friends got earlier when mentioning the same thing.
"Adrian I'm sorry but I have had a really bad headache all night, I don't want to just leave you but I think I better start walking home before I collapse." He looked at me puzzled.
"Have you been drinking?" I quickly shook my head.
"That would have made it worse and well Lissa said I might hurt the baby. I don't want to take any chances." I said the last part in a hushed tone. His expression showed he understood. I waved goodbye and went to find Lissa. I found Lissa and Christian dancing and flailing around. I could tell they were now drunk and Lissa promise to only have a few drinks was broken. It took a while to get her attention.
"Lissa I'm just going to head home okay, you guys have fun." She slurped her words a little and giggled. O couldn't get in her head because of the alcohol, but she showed little concern
"Alright Rosie, I'll see you when I get home." She was teasing me but I ignored it. I looked over at Tasha who was a few feet away. I was glad she was still for the most part level headed. She would take care of Lissa if she had to. Christian wasn't as bad as Lissa but he would be no help. As I was walking out I rubbed my eyes before I saw Dimitri standing next to the door. He had a bored expression on his face and his arms were folded.
"Rose are you leaving? Does the princess know? Shouldn't you be going with someone?" He was only asking in a professional way. I was not let myself believed he still cared about me.
"I told her and it's only a ten minute walk I can go on my own." He didn't say anything just a nodded goodbye before I was out the door.
The walk home was brief but I was so tired when I got home. I changed into pajamas and washed my face. I took a pain killer to try to easy the headache. It helped a tiny bit but I was tired enough to fall asleep anyways.
I was glad the day was over.
Hope your liking it so far.
