Chapter 4

I woke up to a wicked hangover and pounding head. Ugh it’s

been a while since I drank so much…

I carefully got up to get some water and pain killers but

wasn’t until I reached the sink and I noticed the glass and where my keys were

sitting and the events of last night fully came back to me.

“Oh god” I groaned as I remember throwing myself at Dimitri.

The poor guy that was nice enough to help me to my apartment. I’ll have to go

apologise to Dimitri at some point but right now all I need is to lay in my

comfy bed and sleep. Thank god I don’t have classes until tomorrow which I’ll

have to prepare for when I’m feeling better later tonight.

I woke up later to my phone ringing, good thing was I wasn’t

as hungover as this morning and my head wasn’t pounding either. I looked at the

caller Id to find it was Eddie, answering and putting it on speaker while I

found what I needed for a shower.

“Hey Eddie what’s up?” “Rose are you okay?” “Why wouldn’t I

be?” I tried to sound as normal as possible.

“Well… Adrian told me about the date last night and how you

drank so much?” All I could think at that point was oh shit what has he said?

“I’m okay now but I did have a wicked handover this morning,

what else did Adrian say?” “That’ll teach you for drinking so much,” as he

started laughing on the other end, “not much really just said the date could

have gone better and that you weren’t really into it.”

“Oh okay, well I’m going to go so I can shower and start

prepping for classes tomorrow, I’ll speak to you later” “Okay bye Rose”

I quickly jumped in the shower and my god it was the best

shower I could have ever had on a day like today. After speaking to Eddie I

just didn’t know whether I could face Dimitri right now, and honestly I was

actually embarrassed for throwing myself at guy when I’d finished a date

minutes beforehand.

I’d just pulled all my supplies out for my classes when I

remembered I need to check the mail. I grabbed my keys and walked out the door

and downstairs, only to see Dimitri standing near the door talking to some guy.

The same guy I saw with him last night.

His friend noticed me and when Dimitri saw he was staring at

something behind him he turned around, we made eye contact before I quickly

looked away. To be honest I was ashamed of what I did last night. I quickly made

my way to mine and Lissa’s box which of course was full when I opened it and

there was a little note from the post office saying there was more mail there.

I internally laughed, between the two of us we have so much mail I think it may

be helpful to invest in a P.O. Box.

I was flicking through to see what was for me and important

when I heard Dimitri say goodbye to his friend, I started panicking as I heard

him walk up beside me. I could feel his gaze on me, I risked a sidewards glance

at him but couldn’t look him in the eye.

“Hi…. Rose” He sounded a little nervous, probably because he

thought I was going to try and jump him again. “Um Hi Dimitri” I quickly shut

the box and started to walk towards the stairs only to have Dimitri follow me.

I got to the stairs leading to the third floor and looked behind me to see him

staring at me and still following me.

“Um are you following me Dimitri?” He chuckled. Like

literally chuckled at me asking that question, and when I looked at his face

there was amusement all over it. “No Rose I happen to live on the third floor.

Well actually right next door to you.”

My jaw dropped open. I knew I’d see him frequently but I had

no idea I’d see him practically everyday, this was going to be harder then I

thought. “Right.” Was all I could say before continuing to my apartment and him

to his.

I unlocked the door and was about to walk inside when I felt

his hand grab my wrist, “Rose can we talk?” I sighed and turned around and

looked at him, I glanced down at his hand on my wrist which shot warmth around

where it touched, I looked back up to him and saw him realise he still had a

hold of my wrist so he let go.

“What did you want to talk about?” “Umm Rose I think you

know what considering you can barely look at me for more than a couple of

seconds.” “I don’t want to talk about what happened last night.”

“Roza we need to. You went out on a date, came home drank

and even kissed your date then when I help you to your apartment and made“Roza we need to. You went out on a date, came home drank

and even kissed your date then when I help you to your apartment and made“Roza we need to. You went out on a date, came home drank

and even kissed your date then when I help you to your apartment and made  sure you drank some water you threw yourself

at me. Then when I finally came to my senses and told you I couldn’t do it you

practically begged me to stay.”sure you drank some water you threw yourself

at me. Then when I finally came to my senses and told you I couldn’t do it you

practically begged me to stay.”sure you drank some water you threw yourself

at me. Then when I finally came to my senses and told you I couldn’t do it you

practically begged me to stay.”

“I know and I’m sorry Dimitri. The date wasn’t that great

and I wasn’t even into the kiss but I didn’t think I’d see you downstairs.

Thank you for helping me to my apartment though I clearly needed it with how I

felt this morning.” I’d said all this while staring at the ground, felt tears

well up in my eyes and fought to hold them but they started to spill. “Roza,

look at me.”

When I didn’t respond, he cupped my chin and slowly tilted

my head up to look at him before he wiped the tears off my cheeks. “Roza please

don’t cry. I’m not angry at you.” “It’s not that Dimitri, it’s… um.. it’s just

I’m ashamed of what I did last night. I knew I shouldn’t have thrown myself at

you but it happened. I’ve had a rough few months so getting drunk was my only

release.”

Without warning he pulled me into a hug. He was so warm I

felt my body start to tingle and warm thanks to him. “Roza, don’t be ashamed,

sometimes people do stupid shit when they’re drunk, I’m just one of those guys

who won’t take advantage of a girl who is drunk especially when she’s been on a

date with another guy. But if you ever need someone to talk to you can always

come to me, you can trust me. Okay?”

“Thank you and I don’t know what it is about you but I do

trust you.” I gave him a small smile “I gotta go Dimitri I’ve supplied to

organise for classes tomorrow.”

I walked into my apartment and locked the door.

That went well I think, but I can’t shake this butterfly feeling in my stomach

whenever Dimitri’s around.
