^Dimitri Belikov^

I sat in my room texting my girlfriend Tasha of three years. I am planning to break up with her. As harsh as that simple sentence can sound, it's been a long time coming. I've had my concerns about Tasha for a while now. She clings onto me more, she is always asking where I am going, like for goodness sake woman, we live in Baia, Russia there aren't really many places we can go. My best friend, Adrian agrees with me. He says it's obvious that she doesn't trust me anymore and that I should just get rid of her. Quite frankly I agree with him, but I still think he just wants to get rid of her because apparently his girlfriend doesn't like her. His girlfriend, namely the infamous Rose Hathaway who I hear about every, single day, has supposedly some background with Tasha. Whatever that means. Although I have never met her the way Adrian speaks of her she may as well be a goddess. With her 'endless toned legs' and her 'beautiful dark brown hair' and don't forget those 'gorgeous pools of brown known as her eyes'.

My phone buzzed, knocking me out of my thoughts.

Come over. I wanna introduce u to Rose :D

I shook my head slightly and grinned at Adrian's text. He's been desperate to introduce me to her for ages now. I myself was kind of intrigued to find out what woman could have possibly stolen my best friend, the player's, heart.

Sure mate! Be there soon. Was my short reply. I wasn't the type for long and emotional texts, especially when they weren't needed.

I shoved a blue flanny over my plain white t-shirt and pulled on some faded jeans. I shoved my feet into some converse and then headed out the door towards my car. It was a Christmas present from Adrian. At first I refused saying he was spending too much money on me, but he insisted saying that 'You've put up with me for ten years, that deserves a reward.'

It took me about 10 minutes to get to Adrian's house and I noticed another unfamiliar car in the driveway. It must be Rose's. I walked up to the front door and leant against the doorbell, a tradition ever since he moved out of our shared apartment. It was my payback for ditching me with having to pay the rent on my own.

The doorbell buzzed for about thirty seconds before a very excited Adrian swung the door open and gave me a huge grin.

"Dimitri my man", he said placing an arm around my shoulders and leading me in side, kicking the door shut behind me. He wasn't quite the same height since I was quite tall, six foot seven inches to be precise. He ushered me into the living room where the first thing my eyes landed on was a woman sitting on the couch. Judging by her relaxed posture and dark brown hair I concurred that this must be Rose.

"Dimitri this is Rose Hathaway. Rose this is Dimitri Belikov", Adrian introduced us. Rose turned and for the first time I was able to see her face. Adrian was right, she was gorgeous. She flashed her pearly whites at me and I couldn't help but smile back.

"Pleasure to meet you Comrade", she shook my hand. Comrade, I could get used to that.

She jumped off the couch and made her way towards me, holding her hand out for me to shake. I gladly took her tiny hand in mine and shook it slightly. She was so small I was scared to break her.

"Comrade?" I asked raising one eyebrow at her. She tried to raise one back but failed and ended up raising both.

"Yeah, you got a problem with that?" She questioned. My grin widened as I shook my head slightly looking down at her eyes. I removed my hand from hers before looking down into her eyes.

"Not at all Roza, not at all."
