AN: Okay, I was watching 'The Proposal' with my friends and had an idea for a new Fic. So I thought, why not?

Chapter one is just a brief beginning to the rest of the story, and I hope you guys like it!

Oh and sorry for any grammar mistakes or spelling mistakes I made.

Summary: What if it was hate at first sight? Well, for the past three years actually. Rose finally graduated after a year in the Academy and she and Dimitri are guarding Lissa and are living with Eddie, Christian and Adrian.

But what if someone comes saying that Rose was to guard another Royal Moroi due to one of the queen's many 'brilliant' ideas.

The only way out? Marrying the one guy Rose hates most. Dimitri Belikov.

But will she follow her original plan of marrying him and then getting a divorce? Or will she change her mind in the end and fall in love with him along the way.

I was just about to end my shift as I heard footsteps from behind me.

That was weird. I didn't feel nauseous or anything but I'm not taking any chances especially when it comes to protecting my best friend.

I took out my steak and whipped around to see a shadow move.

I ran after it and I saw a tall figure. I jumped on it and before I could pierce my stake through its heart, I saw his face.

"Belikov." I spat. "Should've known."

I hated him. I didn't know why but I did. He has stupid girls going all gaga over him with his stupid Russian accent and his stupid chocolate eyes.

I mean, sure he was sort of hot but, dammit, what am I saying?

I then realized that we were on the floor and I was above him. "Any time now Hathaway."

"Ugh" I said, as I got up. "Physical contact with you. I think I have to go bathe in acid now."

"Physical contact with you, I think I'm going to throw up." he said, brushing the dirt off his pants.

I knew he hated me too. I still can't believe how I'm still alive after working with him for two years.

We all lived in a big house which Lissa's parents left for her after they died. I'm talking HUGE! The Dragomirs had good taste when it comes to houses. Lissa and Christian are talking marriage, Adrian's with us and Eddie's Christian's guardian. Not to mention Tasha cones every once in a while and starts flirting with Dimitri.

She kept saying how lucky I am to be working with that moron. If you want him, take him. The sooner, the better.

"You know Belikov, I dream of you almost everyday." I informed him. "I dreamed that you got hit by a bus and died. What a miracle if it came true."

"So do I, Hathaway. So do I." he replied with a grin on his face.

I didn't know much about him though. He was a Russian loner who is utterly annoying, well, that's what I think and so secretive all the time.

He was the one who found Lissa and I when we ran away from the academy three years back and I hated him ever since. I guess you could say that it was hate at first sight.

I was walking back to my room when I heard the doorbell rang. Everyone was asleep, except for Dimitri and I, so I went to open the door. A Dhampir from the court was at the door. I've seen him a few times before. Noah was his name.

"Noah? What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I need to talk to you Rose." I opened the door wider as he stepped inside and we went to the dining room.

Be sat opposite me and he said the words that stunned me.

"You're being requested to guard another Moroi."

"WHAT? I can't leave Lissa! Who am I supposed to guard?"

"Some kid who's about to graduate. He's a royal." he answered.

"I can't leave Lissa! Is there any way to get out if this?" I was starting to panic. I know, THE Rose Hathaway does not panic but still...

"Well," he said coolly, "I can change it. I'm in charge of your case and I get to make the final decision. There's nothing but Lissa to hold you back here so..."

"But Lissa and I have a bond. They can't risk loosing that!" I tried to defend myself.

"Yes, but she has Belikov. And the kid you're going to guard is another Royal, last in his line. He's just as important as Lissa. Except that he doesn't specialize in Spirit. Plus, the queen thinks
that this way, he would get to know Lissa. The queen has something in store for them." he justified.

Oh crap, I needed to think of something and fast.

I scanned the room. Hit him on the head with a vase? Nope. Blackmail him? But what do I know about him? I met him a few times before and Dimitri has told me a few things about him...that's it!

Just as Dimitri walked in on us, I said "I'm engaged to Dimitri." really fast.

Both Dimitri and Noah screamed "What?" Dimitri looked at me wide eyed and gave me the Are-you-insane? Look.

I winked at him, signaling for him to play along.

Damn, I was going to owe him big time.

"You...and Belikov?" Noah pointed to us. He started to laugh, knowing that we hated each others guts.

"Yes. Apparently we fell in love." I explained as Dimitri sat next to me but Noah continued staring at us, still not convinced.

Oh my god, I can't believe I have to do this. I'm going to scrub my hands and vigorously wash my mouth after this.

I reached out to grab Dimitri's hand and he was surprised by this. I had the don't-you-dare-blow-my-cover look.

I took his hand and kissed it. My god, that's one thing I thought I would never do in a million years.

Dimitri backed me up a little. "Yup, I'm in love with Rose so much, it kills me." he shot me a look. I rolled my eyes.

"In fact, I'm going to bring her to visit my family back in Russia." Damn it, I completely forgot that he was going back. I mentally smacked myself. Great. I'm going to Russia.

I held his hand in mine and it was so big, so warm, so nice-what the heck am I thinking?

I shook the thought away as Noah said "You think the queen will be okay with this? She doesn't even like you, Rose!"

That was true. Damn, didn't think of that. Oh wait, BLACKMAIL!

As I was about to open my mouth to say something, Dimitri interrupted me and said "If you tell her about us, we'll tell her about you and your long time wayyy too friendly relationship with one of her favorite niece's guardians. Does the name Leah ring a bell, Noah?" he raised his eyebrow.

I had to admit, he was good.

Noah gulped. "Fine. But I'm going to have to check on you two to see if this thing is real. I'm going to ask questions not only to the two of you but also to the people around you. Do you understand?" he warned.

The two of us nodded in reply.

"I have to get going." Noah said as he stood up and Dimitri and I reluctantly walked him to the door...hand in hand.

We bid our goodbyes as we watched Noah leave. I closed the door and let out a deep breath I didn't realize I was holding.

"Oh my God!" I screamed, banging my head against the door. I got myself in deep shit right now.

What seems like a few minutes of silence passed and I realized that I was still holding Dimitri's hand.

We both seemed to realize it at the same moment and let go so quickly as if our hands were on fire and I screamed "Ewww!" the same time he exclaimed "Ughhh!"

I thought of holding Dimitri's hand. I shivered. Ew. But they were so big and warm...oh my god, what is happening to me? I shivered once more at the thought.

I looked at Dimitri in the eye as he asked "What happened, Hathaway?"

Okay, so that's a short introduction to the story. I hope you liked it!

I've already written chapter two and it's filled with humor and it's WAY longer.

So the more you guys review, the faster I'll update!
