Chapter 1

I woke up to see the light from the sun setting from a crack in the curtains at window. I rolled over to nothing. Where was he I wondered to myself. Then I heard the clattering of dishes in the distance. I slowly rolled out of bed; fearing I would miss the warmth of the sheets when I got up. I found a shirt and put it on. It was way too big for me so it must have been his, oh well I thought he won't mind. I walked out of our bedroom down the hall into the kitchen and there he was…oh look at that he was even shirtless. Lucky me. I stood there a minute to admire him, Dimitri Belikov, my boyfriend. It was nice to say after what happened a year ago. "Good morning", he said. "Morning." I walked over to the fridge to get some orange juice. Just like him, knowing my ever move, "It's already in a cup on the counter". "Thanks comrade." After I sat in stool and started to drink my orange juice and notice he was cooking bacon. "Yummy", I said. "Yeah I woke up early and didn't want to wake so, I thought I'd make you breakfast before you go to court." "Yeah," I replied "I have to go to court." He didn't realize I was dreading going to court, but yet I was. I really didn't want to testify against Tasha Ozrea. I mean I knew what she did was wrong but I still felt bad about it. Dimitri must have noticed something change once he brought up court, "Are you okay, Rose?" "Yeah, fine." I replied slowly, "What are you making with the bacon?" "Hash browns and eggs", He said. "Awesome, my favorite." He cracked the egg in a bowl…and that's when it happen. I smelt thee egg, put a hand over my mouth, and ran to the bathroom. I started to throw up once my head was in the toilet. Dimitri was right behind me holding my hair back. Once I was finished puking helped me to the sink, grabbed a wet towel, and stared to wipe my face. "I don't know what happened," I said "I thought I was fine." He was still wiping my face, "Its fine Rosa you don't have to apologize for anything." I sighed. "I know but still…" I paused and sniffed the air, "Is something burning?" "дерьмо(shit)," he cursed in Russian. He dropped the towel and ran to the kitchen. I giggled and followed out of the bathroom into the kitchen, "Is the bacon okay?" I asked jokingly. He smirked, "It's fine. Rose," He asked turning serious "You don't think you're" I cut him off before he could even finish that sentence, "No! There is no way in hell." "Are you sure? I mean it's been 4 days in a row now." He was concerned, I could tell, but there was also a hope lining his features. I walked over to him and hugged him, "Dimitri I'm positive. There is no way I am you Know that I know that. It's a fact." "I know," he kissed the top of my head "Just hoped." I hugged him tighter, "Me too." He stayed like that for a few moments. "It's 8:00." "Oh my God! I got to go!" he laughed at my shock. I ran to my room got dressed, kissed Dimitri bye, and ran off to court. Time to go to court and see if Tasha Ozrea is guilty of murder.
