We stayed up all night telling stories of what we had done the past 6 or 7 years. Lissa had Queen duties most of the time. Christian spent a lot of time teaching morio self defence at court and Eddie was the head of team 'find rose' as they called it. I did feel bad that they kept on looking for us but never succeeded as my father hid us very well.
"So how bad is court? Is it strigio?" I asked curiously. I mean this is why they are here.
"Well..." Lissa started and a wave of guilt and fear went through the bond.
"Lissa its okay just tell me." I said concerned. Something was scaring her but I couldn't tell what.
"Okay but please dont be mad. I just needed to do it. I needed to see you!" She said starting to cry her eyes out. I was very confused and so was Dimitri. Chris comforted her and she sobered up enough to say what she was going to.
"I lied on the phone. There isnt any trouble at court in fact its been absolutely fine even if I had ti do it without my best friend." She cried. I just stood up and left. I walked out into the cold dark outside and sank down and held my knees to my chest. How could she lie to me? She could have just told me that she wanted to see me I would have understood. Why did she have to do all of this make me fear that she was hurt? I still loved her like a sister no matter what. It hurt so much to think that she feared my reaction. I mean what would I do attack her? No way I'm a mature woman, a mother of three and a wife.
I font know how long I sat out there but I suddenly felt the warmth of Dimitri's arms wrap around me pulling me into his lap. Thats when I broke.
"Does she really think that I wouldn't let her stay if she wanted to come? I felt it through the bond she was scared of my reaction. Am I that feared?" I cried into his chest.
"Roza. She was scared because she didnt understand that you still loved her like a sister and that you would through them out. When you walked out she sat there for half and hour crying because she thought you hated her. And no you are not feared but loved deeply. I love you so do our kids and your adopted family." He said in my hair. He kissed my forehead and took me in his arms. I felt sleepy and fell into a deep slumber as he carried me inside. I felt the warmth of his body leave mine as he laid me on the bed. I instantly got up.
"Roza, love,sleep. You need to rest." He said sweetly to me. He has always managed to get me to do stuff even with my stubbornness.
"Fine but I need to change these jeans and this jumper will back me get all hot and flustered during the night." I sighed as I made my way to my drawers. I pulled out a pair of shorts and a sleeping shirt. It was actually one if Dimitri's larger shirts. I used it a lot when I was pregnant and now I just wear it for comfort. I went into the bathroom to change, tying my hair in a messy bun and sleeping only my pjs on, going nude underneath. I walked out to see Dimitri laying in our king sized bed.
"You still amaze me with your beauty my gorgeous wife." He beamed as I laid next to him.
"Yeah, yeah whatever." I said too sleepy to even continue the conversation. "I love you" I mumbled as my eyelids closed. My head layed on his chest. The last thing I heard was his deep chuckle.
