Moving Objects

Chapter 7

"Can we do more of this?" I pointed to the textbook. "In our training sessions?"

"Theory?"

"No! Practicing the other stuff," I said with a scowl. Dimitri snickered at me while nodding his head, looking up and straightening his posture. I turned and saw Eddie coming towards us, curiosity clear on his face as his eyes flicked between me and Dimitri. I put my foot back down on the floor and gave Eddie a smirk.

"Hey, what's up?"

Eddie plopped down beside me and rolled his eyes. "You left me alone with Christian and Lissa. It turned into a face-sucking session that I did not want to witness."

I rolled my eyes and laughed. Oh buddy, you just experienced what I have to deal with every time I went to sleep. I made eye contact with Dimitri and I could see amusement in his eyes before he stood up.

"I'm going back onto my shift; I'll see you in training Rose. Eddie," Dimitri said, standing up and nodding to Eddie as he headed out. I pursed my lips and went back to toying with the textbook in front of me. I could feel Eddie fidget next to me.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing, just on edge with trials coming up. Do you think I could ask Belikov if he would do a few one-on-ones with me?" Eddie asked slowly, twirling his thumbs together. I scoffed and turned to look at him, eyebrows raised.

"Why didn't you just ask him when he was here?"

Eddie flushed and stammered a little bit. "Well, I wasn't sure if he was pissed at me or not. I know you told him what I said," he explained.

"Sure he didn't like the fact that you implied I was a slut, but he isn't mad at you. If you want him to work with you just ask him."

Eddie looked at me with pleading eyes for a moment.

"Ohhh. I see, you want me to ask him because he's less likely to say no to me. Is that it?"

"Please Rose?"

I sighed dramatically and leaned back in my chair, flicking my hair over my shoulder. "Alright, but it's going to cost you, Edison," I teased. He looked concerned but nodded his head in agreeance before sticking his hand out for me to shake. I chuckled and shook his hand before collecting my stuff.

"C'mon. We got class to get to."

Dimitri knew something was up when he got to the gym and I was already there. Maybe it was because I was twenty minutes early or because of the look on my face, but he knew I wanted something.

"Rose?"

I hopped off the bleacher and stalked towards him, not intimidatingly but with a sway in my step. I wasn't wearing anything inappropriate, but I knew that he liked the colour green against my tanned skin and when I wore my workout leggings.

"I have a favour to ask," I said with a slight purr coming to a stop in front of him, let a hand brush against his forearm. His eyes followed my fingers as they travelled up his arm. I was shaking slightly in laughter at the perplexed expression on his face.

"Roza, we cannot do this here," Dimitri said quietly but I reached up on my toes and leaned into him. His intake of breath was barely noticeable, but I heard it. I bit on my lip coyly as I pressed a featherlight kiss on his jaw, his hands gripping my arms tightly.

I let my laugh explode as I took in his facial expression, a mix of lust and aggravation.

"Don't worry Comrade. I set the lock to latch after you came in," I laughed as I removed my hands from him. "Honestly though, I do have a favour to ask."
