I love the way my parents met. It is such a funny story, and Dimitri and Rose are perfect for telling it, so here's the story of how my parents met, but in Dimi/Rose style.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters! In fact, I only own some of the events that will keep you intreaged into this story. I don't want to bore any of my readers, now do I? :)
Thanks for reading!
Reviews are encouraged and give me comments on how to make the story better!
In the January snow, Rose walked to her class at WSU in Pullman, Washington. She gripped her coat against her chest, worried about getting a cold or some disease and she heaved her way though the field. Her math books were weighing her backpack down so she heaved it. She smiled and hoped that all this work of hauling math books would help her become a great math teacher (A/N: don't ask me why my mom chose to be a math teacher…). She also laughed at her best friend Lissa's comment about her choice. "Why on earth would you become a math teacher?! It's your least favorite subject!" Truth was, it was her favorite subject.
She stumbled in the snow, almost tripping. She regained her balance, wiped her dark brown hair out of her eyes and began walking.
"Tasha!" She kept on walking as she heard someone yell the name. She wasn't Tasha. She was sure of that, but there was no one else in this field. "Tasha!"
Rose turned around, seeing a man about her age, trudging toward her. His hair was a bit shorter than shoulder length, tied behind his neck with a small hair tie, but leaving some strands that couldn't fit, left in his face. She could make out his chocolate brown eyes staring toward her. He was tall, about maybe 6 foot 6 inches, towering over her 5 foot 7 ½ self.
She kept her own brown eyes on him and she stopped walking, letting him catch up to her.
When he was right next to her, he scrunched up his face and he blushed a bunch form embarrassment.
Rose smiled. "I don't know who the hell Tasha is, but I'm Rosemarie. Rose for short." She held out her hand. He smiled and took it.
"Pleased to meat you, Rose. My name is Dimitri." He replied. She could hear a bit of a Russian accent on his voice.
"Dimitri…" she whispered to herself, making a note of his name. "Nice to meet you, too, Dimitri…"
They began to walk together, telling what they were majoring in, and college things like that.
"So you want to be a mathematics teacher?" he asked, just to make sure he heard right.
"High school geometry and algebra to be specific, I always excelled in those two classes. Calculus was just a blur…" she replied, pulling her hair behind her ear. He looked down at her, then back on the field. "And you…"
He turned to look at her, with a confused expression.
"You want to be a chemical engineer?" His confused look turned into one a smiled.
"Yes…I love to work on my cars and since I live out in Kennewick, I want to work on the Hanford site. It's good pay." He said, and then glanced at his watch. "Crap."
"Care to explain?" She asked him?"
"I have a lab in like fifteen minutes and I need to get across campus. It was lovely to meet you, Rosemarie, but I have to go." Dimitri said, beginning to run toward the tall buildings.
"Bye Dimitri! We should catch up some time!" Rose yelled back. Dimitri looked back and smiled.
"I'd like that…" he said and he ran off, leaving her in a day dream about her new comrade…
"Comrade…that is a nice nickname for him…" she thought. She wanted to yell at him, but he was gone.
She looked at her own watch and realized she was going to be late to her own class. She sighed and began to pick up the pace. On the way, she mumbled.
"Ugh, curse men…"
Hola! So how did you like the first chapter? It's not much, but trust me, it will get good soon. I am planning on having her go to a frat house for a party and she will meet Dimitri again, but with his girlfriend Tasha.
In real life, they didn't see each other at a frat house party and my own father didn't have a girlfriend, but then the story wouldn't interest you as much! So yeah, I will improvise as much as I can :)
Also, I will have a great scene where my mom watched my dad wash his car! It's a very nice scene if I do say so myself.
Ok well, I'll update soon! Or try to, High school is a pain and you can never get things done with volleyball and an extra class.
Adios, me amigos!
