Hey guys! Sorry I didn't update for like FOREVER but I was working on school and other things. I also didn't really try to update but after looking at all the reviews I got, it's hard not to! You also might want to refresh your memory.

"Tasha? What are you doing here?" I tried to sound nice, but I was nervous. She smiled and I noticed her eyes were red from crying. I know I didn't like her but seeing her heartbroken reminded me of how I felt when Dimitri was considering leaving.

"Hey Rose, do you mind if I come in? I'd like to talk to you about Dimitri," Tasha asked. She sure didn't say his name kindly, that's for sure. I nodded and stepped aside to allow her entrance. She sat in a little chair by my desk and I sat on the bed.

"First of all I'm sorry for barging in the gym like that, I just didn't expect that to happen!" I laughed. Hey I wouldn't either would you?

"It's ok Tash. I'm just glad it was you and not a student or something! I'm sorry you had to see that though.... I knew it had to hurt." She gave me a sympathetic smile and messed with her hands.

"Yeah it did. I've known him since I was little and when I asked him to be my guardian, well I was almost positive he'd say yes! But when he declined, I thought it was because he was so loyal to the princess, him and his stupid pride. I never considered the fact that he loved someone else." A tear slid down her face and she hastily wiped it away.

"I was selfish and thought I was the only one who really got him you know? The way he acted, I never would've noticed he loved you, but I'm glad he loves you Rose. You're good for him. I know he regrets letting his charge die, but you help him focus on something other than his job. I want to apologize getting in the way. I thought you just didn't like me for some reason. I now know why. I was taking away the man you love! Please forgive me Rose." I was astounded. I never would've expected her to apologize.

"Don't worry. It was something I should've expected, with us sneaking around and all. I accept your apology."

We stood up and she hugged me. She pulled away and put her hands on my shoulder. "If he hurts you, call me. Knowing him for 20 something years, I can tell you his weak spots." We laughed and soon she had to leave. We said our goodbyes and I fell backwards on my bed. This was a long day!

I fell asleep and had a dream about Dimitri. It was the most realistic dream ever. We were just talking, but I could smell him. "Roza, Rose!" I was gently shaken awake. I groaned and opened my eyes. I almost fell off my bed I was scared so bad. Dimitri was leaning over me.

"Hey cowboy, what's up?" My voice was slurred. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. "I'm sorry to wake you up Roza, but you slept through practice, and Tasha stopped by to tell you bye but you didn't answer. She got worried, I came to check on you since you disappeared and didn't attend classes,"

"I slept through my classes!? Holy crap! I'm sorry I missed practice," I babbled. He smoothed my hair and pulled me into his lap. "Don't worry love, you had a stressful morning," he joked. "but if you don't go to classes today, the teachers will worry. So up!" He pushed me of his lap making me stand up. He smacked my butt and told me to scoot.

I laughed and went into my bathroom to get ready. Dimitri was in a really good mood…….

Sorry it's short. I have ideas for the next chappy and might start on it today.
