"So Liss, did you have your own revealing conversation with Flame Brain?" My beautiful wonder woman asked her best friend and little sestra while also teasing Christian at the very same time. (sister)
Lissa laughed at Christian's nickname but Christian just rolled his eyes. But I could see a small smirk pull at his lips even as he tried his absolute best to hide it.
"Yes, we talked about a lot of stuff. I even explained the coded conversation between you, me and Dimitri at breakfast."
"That's good. How did he take it?"
"Remarkably well everything considered." Lissa smiled.
"That's good, that's very very VERY good." Angel moya nodded. (my)
She turned to Christian. "So, do you have any questions for me, Pyro?"
"Did you really die?" He whispered not wanting people who didn't need to know to overhear him. But I could see the pain and fear, of possibly losing his little sestra, in his eyes. However, the reaction to what he had just said was most definitely NOT a whisper. (sister)
"WHAT?!!!" Both Mason and Eddie asked louder than we would have liked. Thankfully, it wasn't an actual top of their lungs scream.
"Shhh!!!" This time it was both lyubov' moya and her little sestra who responded. (my love, sister)
"That is most certainly NOT something that we want the general public to know. Probably not EVER." She told both of the boys as quietly as possible as she stared them down.
Turning back to Christian she very quietly answered his question. "Yes, I did."
"And Lissa was able to bring you back?"
"Yes, but a spirit user can only do that once in their lifetimes and they have to have a deep emotional connection to the person. So, we need this to remain a deeply guarded secret for just as long as humanly possible. You saw what Victor did. And that was just to keep himself healthy and alive. Now, can you just imagine what would happen to not only Lissa and me but to all the others who can and do use spirit magic if this got out?" Christian paled by at least three shades at just the thought of that. And I probably did too.
"You're right." He agreed.
He turned to Mason and Eddie. "You can never tell any-fucking-one about this. I don't give a fucking hell who in the fuck it is. If or when someone needs to know then Lissa and or Rose will tell them. Otherwise, we all guard this secret with our very lives because their lives are on the line here." Both of the boys nodded and so did I. I was so glad to see and hear just how seriously that they were all taking this. Because lives are actually hanging in the balance of us all keeping this a secret from just as many people as possible.
"I have more than a few questions about all of this." Mason said and Eddie nodded in agreement with him, and I didn't blame either of them. Because I still have questions about all of this, and I already know more than they do.
"Not here, when we discuss this again it will be somewhere where we are safe, and we cannot be eavesdropped on. I refuse to risk the lives of my future wife and her little sestra out of our curiosity." All three boys nodded in agreement with me while Roza moya and Lissa just smiled at all of us. (sister, my)
"Ok, let's just forget that part and table that discussion for, now shall we?" There were nods all around from all of us.
After receiving the affirming nods from everyone, he quickly turned back to Roza moya. "Now, you can seriously do all of that other stuff?" (my)
"Yep." She affirmed with a smile and a nod of affirmation as she popped a grape into her mouth.
"And much much MUCH more." Lissa supplied.
"Amazing." Christian said in a voice filled with sock and awe.
I chuckled. "I don't call her my amazing wonder woman and one-woman army for no reason Christian." I told him with a smile of my own.
And he just nodded before he said, "apparently not."
Bright and early Monday morning, lyubov' moya and I met all of her 'family', who were at the academy, at the fountain in the middle of the quad. Once everyone was present and accounted for, we all made our way together to the airstrip. (my love)
Something that caught my attention was the vastly different amounts of luggage between angel moya and Lissa. Where Lissa had three large suitcases, a medium suitcase, three garment bags, and two overnight bags. For the same amount of time away Roza moya had a duffle bag and a backpack. (my, my)
Once the plane had taken off, Roza moya quickly fell asleep with a smile on her beautiful face while leaning her head on my shoulder. Soon after watching my beautiful love sleep for a few minutes, I allowed myself to follow her into that same deep restful sleep. (my)
I slept for about two hours before I woke up. But when I awoke, lyubov' moya was still sleeping soundly on my shoulder and still smiling. And she was still asleep about twenty minutes later when the jet that Abe had sent specifically for us. Taxied to a halt on the private runway at an exclusively moroi airstrip. Which I'd found out, just recently, was built by the owners of the very same ski lodge that we were on our way to as we speak. (my love)
I wondered if this jet, that we are about to be disembarking from, is one of my Roza's jets that she was telling me about on Saturday. Because even with a dozen people on board, there was still room for another dozen or so. And she did tell me that her smallest jet sat twenty-five passengers and two flight attendants and there are indeed two flight attendants on this flight.
Seeing just how much my beautiful dessert princess and soul mate was enjoying her sleep; I just didn't have the heart to wake her up. But thankfully the fab five and Alberta had all also flown on the jet with us, so I didn't have to wake her. At least not yet.
"Would some of you mind getting our bags? I don't want to wake her until I absolutely have to."
"It will be taken care of Dimitri. I will also sign you both in and get your room keys once we are inside and we will follow the two of you up to your room with your bags."
"Thank you, Alberta."
"She's my little girl, so there is no other choice in the matter and there never will be. Her health, safety, wellbeing, sanity, and happiness are all paramount to me just as they are to all the rest of us." She shrugged and the others all nodded in agreement with her.
I smiled and nodded back at her, and them. I am truly thankful that she and the others all cared for lyubov' moya as much as they all sooo obviously do. Because it's not very often that you find guardians who actually love and adore their charge and vice versa. (my love)
Approximately fifteen minutes later, Alberta was unlocking the door to mine and Roza's room. Just as some of the others carried in our bags and sat them down on the sofa Alberta lay both of our room keys on our bedside table.
Once inside the room, I gently laid dorogaya lyubov' moya down on our queen size bed and took her shoes off. When everyone had left, I locked the door behind them and stripped lyubov' moya down to her underwear. Taking off my tee shirt I very carefully put it around her neck and pulled it down to cover her breasts before I removed her bra. Only because I didn't yet know how she would feel about sleeping next to me naked, or even almost naked. (my darling love, my love)
It is true that we have slept next to each other for the last few nights. And on each of those nights I would sleep in my boxer briefs and lyubov' moya would sleep in the tee shirt that I had worn that day and a pair of panties. Usually boy shorts. Which is exactly why I had put the tee shirt, that I had just taken off of myself, onto her and removed her bra before gently laying her back down in our bed.
Once I was in just my short-legged boxer briefs, I lay down next to her and fell asleep again myself. Just before the darkness claimed my conscience mind, I felt lyubov' moya snuggle up against me and lay her head and hand on my chest. Her ear on my pectoral muscle and her hand lay over my heart. (my love)
"I love you Comrade." She murmured in her sleep.
"I love you too lyubov' moya, more than life itself. More than you will ever know detka." I answered in a sleepy whisper. (baby)
When we woke up the next human morning, angel'skaya printsessa moya and I, along with her friends and guardians. All had breakfast in a private and secluded little breakfast nook, far away from everyone else at the ski lodge, and then we went skiing for the next few hours before lunch. (my angelic princess)
After lunch, Roza moya wanted to go ice skating, and as it turns out she is QUITE good at it. Of course, I should have known that she would be because she'd told me, at lunch, that she and Lissa had gone skating quite a lot while they were in Moscow. Almost every single day they'd said. (my)
"Hey Rose?!!" Lissa called out from where she was standing with the others, on the bank of the little pond that milaya moya desert princess and I were skating on. (my dearest)
"Yeah?" Lyubov' moya answered back as she turned, with a beautiful smile upon her lips, to look at her little sestra. (my love, sister)
"Why don't you and Dimitri do a couples routine?" Lissa asked with a smile on her slightly windburned face.
Roza moya quickly turned and looked up into my eyes questioningly and I shrugged. "If you want to give it a try mladenets then that's fine with me. Just whatever makes you the happiest lyubov' moya." (my, babe, my love)
"I've never gotten to do that before!!" She squealed excitedly as she clapped her hands with a matching smile. Which was all that I needed to see and hear to know that I would happily do this for and with her. So, we decided that we would give it a shot.
(LPOV)
"Look how beautifully, gracefully, and easily that they move and fit together. Just how happy, at long last, that she truly and finally is." I said in awe as I watched as my beautiful big sestra and her soul mate moved together, with such synchronicity and grace, across the ice. (sister)
I am so happy that she is actually finally, fully, and genuinely happy. She has more or less always been happy, to an extent. But since she met Dimitri, there are no exclusions to her happiness. There is no 'she is happy, but...' She is simply happy, and Dimitri has done that for her. As well as all the rest of us that love and care about her. He has made her really and truly happy at long last, and I will never be able to thank him enough for that. And her being happy has made all of us thrilled. Just as long as she is happy, then we are all enormously happy for her. And for him too of course.
"Yes, indeed they do. It's because she trusts him, and not just with her safety but also with her life. And even more importantly, to her, she also trusts him with her heart. She holds nothing back from him and he does the exact same thing with her. There is no way that they could do those lifts, throws, and spins with such synchronicity and gracefulness without having practiced them, for months, first. If they didn't have that much complete and total trust, belief, faith, and love in, with, and for each other." Mommy Al said.
"God, they really are beautiful to watch together, aren't they?" Aunt Celeste said after Dimitri had thrown Rose in the air and caught her just before dropping her back into a deep dip. One of her legs wrapped around one of his hips the other foot on the ice, one arm wrapped around his shoulders. And her other arm thrown straight up above her head and her fingers of that hand gliding across the ice above her head.
"Yes, simply breathtaking. You can see their love for each other shining all around them, it just glows on both of their faces and in their eyes. It's kind of like an aura that they give off, and when they are near each other, like right now, it intensifies and shines even brighter. It burns and shines so bright that it's a wonder that it doesn't melt the ice right from underneath them. I am sooo glad that she has finally found that. Because it is far too rare, especially in our world, and if there is anyone in the whole entire world who deserves it, it is her. She has been through and dealt with so much in her life." Aunt Tamara said.
Aunt Tamara was right, after everything that my sestra has been through in her short life. She really does deserve the absolute best that the world as a whole has to offer her, for the remainder of her life, in every conceivable way. (sister)
