Lately she had been so busy that she had barely even time to think, after she had met Sergej in the mall after he arrived from Bulgaria he had not left her mind and she knew that this was something dangerous, last year she would have been scolding herself but this year with the new vows between her and her best friends she knew that it was right allowing whatever to progress between them, she was not going to hold back her feelings since that was only going to hurt more. She saw nothing wrong with what happened between the two of them and truly just the meer thought of him brought a bright smile to her lips. In fact he had been what made the first week of classes bearable, all the teachers were going over the same things, ethics, what they expected and the course outlines and she swore there were a few times that she would catch herself nodding off to a light sleep and thoughts wondering what Sergej was doing at that moment seemed to be what brought her back to the land of the living. The end of the week turned out to be better though since classes started to get down to business and material was actually covered and she learnt that she was thinking that she was going to like her classes as much as she had thought. Life in the townhouse proved to be a little hectic since there was five of them living there, she was glad that when they had been looking for a place that two separate bathrooms was a must since it almost was like forming a line up when there was more than one of them home. But with their busy lives and the fact that they were all taking different courses they had different schedules and therefore were in and out at different times every day.
She always did manage to find the time to talk to both Sergej and her brothers though and it was nice to know that whenever she needed him Max was just around the corner from the town house, well figuratively of course since it was no more than a very short drive, or walking distance if you were feeling ambitious. It was strange for her to be this close to Vineheart and yet not be attending the school at the same time. After classes today she had rushed home to change and was back out the door within a matter of moments since she knew that today was important and time for the dance practice, earlier in the week she had been accepted onto the team so this was a cause for celebration in her mind. When Sergej had asked if she would like to go clubbing later on tonight she had agreed, even though she was not much of a partier she knew that it was going to mean that she got to see him again and that was at the top of her priority list.

Dance practice did not go on too long since the teacher in the middle of it got a call and she uttered that she had to get going right away before running out the door and they were all released early which only meant that she was not going to have to rush as much to get ready for tonight. A plain black cocktail dress was chosen from her closet since it seemed to have a classy feel yet ended a bit shorter than the dresses she wore to formal functions but not enough for her to be seen as anything less than proper. The straps ran along her shoulders and dipped into a V in the front showcasing the pearl necklace that traditionally lined the girl’s collarbones. X might have had some choice words about the dress but this was pushed to the back of her mind as she grabbed her car keys and slipped into her black flats before heading out the door, she did not tend to wear heels very often since as a member of the German royal family she really did not need to be any taller than she already was. There was no way that a girl was meant to be over six feet and occasionally with heels she tended to be.
Marie had offered to drive her there and back even when she had insisted that she was not going to be driving the girl claiming that she did not have a choice and this way if she did choose to then she would not have to worry about it, she adored that her best friend tended to look out for her in that way as she was dropped off at the front door and light steps carried her into the familiar scene of the Ice Box. She was almost positive that there were going to be people there that the two of them were going to know but strangely enough she did not really care. She took a seat in a corner booth knowing it would only be moments before she would be rescued from sitting there alone

Unlike university students, Sergej was finding that nothing had really changed over the course of the summer. Not yet at least. The school was the same, the headmaster was the same (which meant grumpy and glaring), the teachers were the same and the only difference was that he was now a fourth year, not a third. That was about it considering differences, and he was getting bored. He entered school with no real expectations, so when the first classes started he didn't think it could be any worse than that. He was wrong. By the end of the hour, Sergej was fighting hard not to fall asleep. By the end of the day, he wanted to strangle somebody. And by the end of the week he was back in his normal routine, which meant bored and in dire need of something to do.

The only thing that really cheered him up was a text from Pirzi. The girl seemed to have a sixth sense about when he was even more bored than usual. That was when he normally felt the familiar buzz of his phone, and no matter where he was or what time it was, he usually replied almost at once. Well, unless the headmaster was subbing World History for some odd reason or another. Norris didn't have any reason to like Sergej and the less he saw of the Bulgarian prince, the better. Of course nothing bad had come out of the whole detention deal, actually it was way better than bad, but Sergej wasn't about to try his luck the second time. There was, after all, only one Pirzi to take into consideration and he didn't want to end up helping with theatre productions or whatever. If he had to do something, he would dance, but that was it really.

So the more the end of the week came closer, the worse he felt, because he'd agreed with Pirzi to go clubbing on Friday night, and he couldn't wait to see her. It was still so funny to him that she wasn't at school anymore, but she was still in Rexford. That was a comfort to him, actually, since he cold practically slip out and see her whenever he wanted, though he tried being good. He hadn't made a slip this first week. He was following all the rules and making sure he was under the radar so that when he actually did go out Friday night, no one would suspect anything more than just a night to unwind. Oh he would be unwinding alright. But there would be someone else there to unwind with him. Sure it probably wouldn't be as cosy and homey as the restaurant she'd taken him to in Berlin, but it would still be better. The Ice Box did, after all, know how to serve its clients.

Giving himself a once-over in the mirror, Sergej decided he was presentable. But then, black pants and a deep blue shirt that came off as black always were his traditional colours. The darker, the better. Making sure to leave a note for his roommates, he grabbed his keys and phone and the jacket, heading out with a whistle to his lips. His car had arrived so he would be driving. After all, he didn't drink much and when he was behind the wheel, he didn't touch alcohol at all anyway. So he wasn't going to miss out on anything. Still whistling to himself, Sergej drove off into down, parking swiftly and, after making sure the doors were locked, heading for the entrance. Getting in was easy at this hour, since it was before midnight there was no line and no bouncer. No fee either. Descending into the club, he glanced across the space, spotting a mane of golden hair in a corner. With a sure smirk on his face, one hand in his pocket, Sergej sauntered over towards where Pirzi was sitting. "Hey. I hope you haven't been waiting long."

She was so happy to have the first week of university over knowing that it was going to be the hardest in getting used to the new layout of the school and all the things that were going on there. If she thought that Vineheart had a lot of events it did not even come close to the things that were going on at UM and she was not too sure if she was going to be able to keep up with them all. She knew that this was not needed but she liked to know what was going on so something did not sneak up behind her and stun her when she was least expecting it. With dance class there were going to be a lot of things that she was not going to be a part of but she was still enjoying it all. It tended to go a lot later in to the evening than the one at Vineheart and so she was not overly used to it. They were told that it was going to change once school go rolling into full force and the other gym became usable since they were in the middle of large renovations so she would wait for that day so that it would be in the mornings that they were going to be practicing since that was the time that she loved it the most. There was nothing like waking up and heading to a gym to be put in a brilliant mood by the thing that you loved to do so therefore it was something that he was not going to protest even when the other girls did not seem to be happy about the fact that they were going to need to wake up earlier than they were already. She had always been an early riser and the days that she allowed herself to sleep in she felt like she was skipping out on half the day and this would set her off balance for the rest of the day.

In the last week that they had been at Vineheart she had gotten used to at least seeing the familiar face of the Bulgarian prince in the hallways, while they did not do much talking with the exception of their dancing in the mornings she did enjoy getting to see him every day so this was strange for her in walking around the university and half expecting to walk around a corner to see X or Sergej and never did it happen nor was it going to happen well not for a couple years at least and by that time she would probably be finished and moving onto the next chapter of her life but there was a while that she did not need to think about that though and she was not going to put a damper on her mood since the only thing that was on her mind as she left the dance studio and headed to the townhouse to change was getting to see the boy tonight.

She dressed and was ready quicker than she thought since Marie and Frida were not in the dorm and not around to distract her, that was usually what made her take so long because they always felt the need to talk when they saw one another since they were on such different time schedules now and they needed to treasure the time together when they had it. With a deep breath she finished getting ready and checked the mirror one last time, with Sergej she always felt like things needed to be perfect even though it did not seem like he cared too much about it. She had never felt this way even when she was with Theo so this really was showing her that there was something powerful between the two of them. I guess they would see how this all would work out in the coming year and whether they were able to get over the fact that there was an age difference even though this was not something that had ever mattered to her. Feelings were what was important and she had decided that no longer was she going to deny herself the feelings that she previously would have kept hidden. This was known by both of her brothers and her best friends so there was no hiding nor did she want to.
Little did he know it but X had planted something in her mind that tended to worry her a little. Mentioning that he was a part of the protégés and going to be a King in the next year this was something that made her a little uneasy considering the reputation of the people that were going to be in the Kings this year but she did have to keep reminding herself over and over again that he was not like them and he was not going to be dragged into the things that they took part in.
The icebox looked just the same as it always had so when she walked in it started to bring back a few memories that had been had there and this caused her to smile gently. She passed the few people that were at the front but yet it was still early so therefore it was not too busy as she made her way to the booth at the back and took a seat. She had barely sat and gotten herself comfortable when she looked up and eyes met the dark stare of the Bulgarian prince Her eyes remained there for a moment before she comprehended that he was speaking, asking her if she had been there long and she shook her head. Not at all. I just sat down. She told him with a smile. How are you? How was your week? I feel like I have not seen you in forever. She uttered quietly.

The texts he exchanged with Pirzi on a frequent level were the only thing keeping him from going insane. He didn't even tell her half the stuff that he thought about, because well it was beyond his own comprehension. But he did know that it felt weird looking at professor Delight again, he'd seen her in the hallways of course, but it was the whispers and the gossip that really fueled most of his thoughts. He knew he should just ignore it, but when Pirzi's brother had been mentioned, Sergej's ears had perked up like those on a pointer. He didn't think it was possible that someone as strict and by the book like the headmaster would take a woman who had a child with one of the students back, but it just went to show that they were low on staff members this year, apparently. Sergej still didn't know what to think of the woman herself, and he didn't want to think of her tonight.

So his thoughts had been pleasantly diverted when P informed him of the house warming party she was planning with her house mates. Obviously he was going to be there, this meant a lot to her and he was itching for some good fun anyway. As much as he knew the girls, he was pretty sure that half of Vineheart would be invited anyway, so that meant a definite party with the traditional Vineheart flavour added to the mix, no problems there. He just hoped that no drama would ensue from there on, he knew that P and Marie and Frida probably didn't want any shockers or anything, but sometimes things just happened when you weren't careful with who you invited. But he wouldn't really think about that either, since he had promised to come either way. He wanted to spend more time with her.

Like tonight. She was beautiful, as always, though he was sure her brothers didn't know about dresses like these, that were shorter than what was called proper for formal functions. For his part, Sergej enjoyed these dresses a lot more than the long ones, purely out of selfish reasons. His eyes smoldered when they met hers, the ache diminishing and disappearing. He really had missed being around her, seeing her at Vineheart, passing her in the hallways or just sitting with her and drinking coffee after a good work out. He'd fallen into the routine of the practices at the end of last year without much trouble, and this year he found he woke up at the right hour for no apparent reason, since his former partner was at university and dancing with someone else. He cut the thought short before it could go any further than that.

Slipping into the seat next to her, Sergej smiled. "Good. I didn't want to be late so I left a little early. Vineheart's as boring as it ever was, I'm surprised there aren't more of us out here tonight." His fingers flicked at a strand of her golden hair playfully, but his smile was soft and very gentle. He could not be not gentle with her, she brought out the very best of him at all times. Mira probably wouldn't have been able to identify him as her brother if she saw him like this. Sergej definitely couldn't! He was a lot different in all other situations but with Pirzi. His hand rested on her lower back and he leaned in, brushing his lips across her cheek. Since she'd shown that she didn't care who saw them at the Strip mall, there was no real reason to try and hide what was obvious in the Ice Box. "How was the rest of your week? No more people glaring at you for waking them up or squishing ogres?" he teased her with a mischevious expression in his eyes.

Strangely enough she had not pictured him as the type to text back and forth in the way that the two had been, sure they were busy but it always seemed that when she was finished either a class or dance practice she would pick up her phone and be forced to smile seeing as there was a message there waiting. It was a nice feeling seeing as she did not get to see him as much as she wished after all this was just a transition period where she was getting used to going back to school and the work that was expected of her in the university, next week would be completely different since she would then be used to everything and regular life and things like seeing Sergej, Max, Luna and Franky could be brought back into the mix since they were all missed very much and she found it off to not see them walking around in the same building. The school was large enough that she had not even seen one of her roommates there as of yet and she KNEW their schedules. She was a little nervous of the party that Marie was planning since she had been the one to arrive early to make sure that everything was set up in the town house, though if she knew the French princess right everything would be put in place so that their house was still livable after this all happened, while she could be a little wild and reckless it was not in her nature to host a raging party. Plus even though they were both invited to the party both Ziggy and Beau would be doubling as body guards for the night to make sure that things did not get out of control.

When she spotted him a wide grin crossed her lips as she looked up and teal eyes met dark pair and this caused her heart to feel like it was making a leap into her throat and beat erratically. By now she was sure that he knew how he made her feel but that was never something that was for sure. She knew that X would have a hard time allowing her to wear a dress such as the one that she was wearing, it was not because it was overly short because it wasn’t (not im comparison to some of the other things that tended to be worn by the girls in Vineheart) it was the fact that it showed off long tanned legs that were toned from the amount of dancing she did. She shifted over a little so that he would fit next to her, a smile crossing her face. When she stated that Vineheart was boring as ever and he was surprised there was no more of the students here she nodded. I had just been thinking that when you arrived. Usually nights like these are packed with them. So far I have not recognized anyone. She uttered, she knew that she would not recognize the first years and there were bound to be another couple that were new to Vineheart but for the most part she liked to think that she had at least seen them rest. Brow was raised lightly as he toys with a strand of golden hair but amused smile touched on lips seeing as she did not mind at all. Not when it was Sergej. He moved so that his hand was rested on her lower back and tingles were sent running along her spine in full force with the gentle touch. Butterflies flared up in her stomach as his lips touched her cheek and the normal attraction seemed to be brought back into the mix. She wondered if he knew the effect that he had over her and could see the shivers that ran along her arms and the intensity of teal eyes as they rested on him for a split second before sanity was regained. The time apart while she did not like it seemed to magnify the twos feelings for one another or perhaps she was simply not able to remember accurately in the time that they were apart the way that he was able to make her feel. She could not help but allowing herself to extend her hand gently to allow fingers to run lightly over his forearm as the contact between them was broken and attention then returned to him as he asked how the rest of her week had gone and laughed when he asked if there were any more people glaring at her and if she had been squished by the ogre. Well you are visiting me here and not in a hospital room, so I would say that’s a good sign ogre-wise. She said with a small chuckle as teal eyes sparkled mysteriously as she met his gaze. As for glaring people I was glad when he chose not to sit beside me the next day and I took your advice, let sleeping people sleep. She uttered, really her week had proved to be more busy than she was able to keep track of seeing as all he spare time she had was either catching up with one of Marie or Frida or she was at the barn visiting with her horse that had arrived earlier in the week. She had given the mare the week to settle in as both of them adjusted to a new schedule and new life, well the horses was going to be the same as always seeing as Pirzi had made sure that she had gotten the same stall that she had lived in for the last five years along with the same staff that were handling her. So does the fact that we are at the ice box tonight mean that I get to dance with my real dance partner? She accentuated the word real as it slipped from her lips with a small smirk upturning lips as she watched him. It had been a long time since she had been into the Ice Box, even in the fifth year of Vineheart she was almost positive that she had only been there once or twice and only at the beginning of the year when she had met with Marie here.

It was true, what both of them were saying. Nights like these usually saw the Ice Box packed with students from Vineheart who just couldn't wait to get some unwinding time in from classes. But as it so happened - like Pirzi had pointed out - not many were there that could be recognised. Actually, Sergej couldn't see anyone he would know from the hallways, and he was pretty sure that apart from some unlucky first years he hadn't yet pulled a prank on, he knew most of the people by look, if not by name. But tonight it would be a quiet night it seemed, or perhaps it wasn't as late yet as one would think. Then again it really wasn't, if he looked at his wristwatch he could see that, for the Ice Box, it was rather early, so he had to assume that people were taking some drinks in the dorms or some place else and would come clubbing later. Either way, it suited him fine, he had who he wanted for the night right by his side.

"Yeah I know what you mean, guess traffic's low tonight, but maybe later on the floor will fill up," he replied with a shrug of his shoulders and an easy smile to his lips. It was natural to forget about everyone else when he was with Pirzi. She was beautiful, gorgeous every time he met her, no matter if it was a dance practice or a night out like this one. Sergej had always admired girls, even his sister, who seemed to be so perfect all the time. He couldn't remember ever seeing Mira without make up on or something, and while Pirzi opted for the natural look she still wore some, he was pretty sure about that. That, or she was just extremely confident and even more naturally beautiful, not that he ever doubted that. He was sure every guy would envy him at some point, she and the rest of the graduated girls were the ones that were definitely worth and trouble you went through to get them.

He chuckled softly when she teased him right back, "Well good then. I'd hate to see you anywhere but on the dance floor," he said honestly, smiling. "As for the sleeping guy, let him sleep at home if he's at it." He shrugged his shoulders. There were times during his own classes that he felt like dozing off or something, especially during the more dull science ones, but he never really could, so there was no reason to think about it that way. The professors at Vineheart were less lenient about this than at college, so Sergej couldn't wait to get out and see some more of the world while learning things that would actually help him someday, instead of useless stuff he could look up online at any given time. Wikipedia and Google were friends, not enemies, and he frequented the liaison on a number of occassions.

Her question made his smile turn into a smirk, that suave expression that he had adapted as a facade for speaking to people, but right now it just meant that he was thoroughly satisfied. "That's probably the only reason I'm here tonight. C'mon." He applied light pressure to her lower back with the hand he had there, before slipping from the booth and waiting for her to join him. The floor was more or less empty, though people were starting to arrive in bigger numbers now, so they wouldn't be attracting attention solely to themselves while dancing. And Sergej really was looking forward to dancing with Pirzi again, he just wanted to spend time with her and dancing always brought him back to that warm summer night in Berlin when she'd been so close ... but so far away at the same time.

Maybe the Ice Box was starting to lose its popularity amongst all the students though she did highly doubt that especially under the rule of the new Kings this year they were going to need all the drinks that they were able to get with Fred, Nico, and Dante ‘ruling the school.’ While she had been close with Dante that was only because of her brother and the other two she tended to have nothing to do with which she was glad about since they were nothing but bad news and this was seen all over the gossip blog. She assumed that Sergej would not be much of a fan of Fred considering the fact that the Swiss prince and his sister seemed to be at one anothers’ throats at least every large event if not in the time between as well and she really did not understand how people seemed to find it all that amusing. The two were a force to be reckoned with and in a bad way. Personally from what she had seen of it she tended to take Mira’s side, not because she liked Sergej, but because it legitimately looked as though the princess tended at first to mind her own business when it was in regards to the Swiss prince though he was the one that went out of his way to get under her skin. He deserved whatever was coming his way and knew that she would not want to be on the wrong side of the girl. After all these were the people that Pirzi tended to find a little intimidating since she tended to want to please everyone and was a little bit of a push-over until it was something that she was absolutely passionate about like the arranged marriage this summer. Everyone had a breaking point and that had been what it had taken to get her to hers. Other than that though she tended to be the mediator of the family and as seen as very easy going and cheerful with the uttermost importance being placed on her family and the way that the Germans looked as they were portrayed in the news and other events that would reflect on their heritage. In this respect that was one of the things that made her glad that she was not in line for the throne, she knew that she would have a hard time making decisions where she was not able to please all parties and to decide who was going to be the most worthy. She would also have a hard time not being such a push-over that was wooed to different situations, as long as they did not affect her morals because her morals tended to be something that she stood by with the most faith, well except for the time that she had allowed Theo to kiss her, that did not count she kept telling herself so that she would not end up beating herself up over the fact. It was over and there was no going back and it had been a learning experience and now she was set in making this all right with Nada, when the time came. After all she had been at the wedding so this was to mean that Nada could not have been that terribly angry, now though she was going to do her best to make it up to the girl that was something very important to her.

He did not seem to care either way if the building was full or not and indicated this with a small shrug of his shoulders that caused her to smile lightly. It really was the same for her as well since she did not care who was there and who was not there to see what was going on between them. All that was important was the fact that she was with him. He proved to be an amazing break from the hectic week and even though they had only been together for the last ten minutes she was already starting to feel the ease of his presence settling and a permanent genuine grin placed on her lips. She did tend to wear a lot less makeup than a lot of the girls at the school and that was because she was usually quite busy between dance practice and making her way to the barn so therefore she really did not have time to apply it ten times a day and tended to stick to what was waterproof enough to remain on for the entire day. It was different if she was going to be going out like tonight where she had spent a little more time on her appearance than usual but she did always take care to make sure that she was presentable since you never knew who was watching and with what opportunities to be given. This was something that her father had always taught them. Dress like you are trying to impress someone, not in an elaborate manner but in one that you would not be embarrassed to wear to an important meeting.

It seemed that there was a complete different mentality when you entered college, there was a certain freedom that went along with most of the people being considered adults and there were the people that accepted it properly and then there were the people that were on the opposite end of the spectrum and truly she did not understand why a person would bother paying for the class if they were going to sleep through the entire thing? Was that not a large waste of time and effort and money? It was not like he was doing himself any favours. This was not something that she was going to get too caught up in though since she did tend to overanalyze things and her main focus was on the man sitting beside her. Stating that he would not like to see her anywhere else than a dance floor and this caused smile to widen slightly. He uttered that dancing was probably the only reason that he was here tonight and this caused brow to raise slightly before she then stood beside him with the urging of his hand along her back. Dancing with him was so different than dancing in general, when she was dancing in the practices she needed to keep her mind on the technical aspects and complexity of everything though with him everything seemed to flow so naturally and she felt evenly paired, as if he was able to anticipate even the smallest movements between the two of them. While he might not have the experience with dancing as often as her his observing nature made him a very quick learner. Arms took their traditional spot wrapped lightly around his neck as body was pressed close to his. Nothing was going to get her used to the feeling of being this close with him and the chills that caused the hairs on the back of her neck to stand up.

The fact that Dante now ruled the school wasn't missed on Sergej, given that he was the man's prot?g?, but that didn't necessatily mean that he was keeping a close watch on everything the Spanish prince was up to. Obviously he kept loose tabs, he was one of them after all, but that was about it really. They hadn't contacted him for anything yet, the school year was still pretty slow, but he was sure something or other was going to brew itself to perfection at some point and then all hell would break loose. Possibly it would be something to play against the Queens, seeing as the two groups wouldn't get along this year at all, the people in them were way too different to even consider that. That was something he missed as well, Dario, Xavier and the rest had gotten along with the former Queens to a degree, they didn't wage war against them.

It was all going to be different now, apparently, or that was what he thought at least. It didn't look like there would be anything similar. But of course there would probably be a welcoming party or something held by the riverbed like it usually was, not that he'd ever gone before. This year was different, he was needed and so if something like that happened he would have a hard time extracting himself from it. He didn't know what to think about the whole situation yet anyway, so he didn't know what he would do, but maybe he would break something at that point. It sounded silly, but right now he wasn't looking forward to it all, but maybe that was because the scenery was different here and the company was definitely better than anyone else at Vineheart, not counting his sister and some other individuals, the few that he didn't consider pranking all the time. Just very rarely.

That thought brought him back to Pirzi, since he knew something about a prank pulled on her that she'd shared through her text messages with him and it had made him laugh, though he wouldn't bring it up tonight. Yet. Since it had no purpose other than to tease her he would probably just store the knowledge for later on and not worry about anything but dancing with her tonight. Her twin was far away at Dartmouth and her younger siblings weren't close to look out for her or anything. So Sergej was basically free from any observation (if you could call it that at the Ice Box where gossip flowed faster than cocktails). Of course he understood tha the gossip blog would probably be all over this before the month was done, but oh wel, he couldn't do much about it really.

His thoughts drifted and reformed again when they finally stepped up and she wrapped her arms around his neck. Sergej smiled, his hands slipping around her waist and pulling her as close as possible, his forehead resting against hers. That he had her in his arms now was something he'd been thinking about a lot the more this day had been drawing close. He just didn't want it to end, even if it would at some point. He was a realist after all, so he was surprised at how quickly he wanted something to last longer than reality, and he had to shake himself. He didn't need to think that way. His smile remained intact on his lips as they moved to the slow-beat song together. "I missed you," he murmured gently, moving so that his lips were close to her ear. It was the complete truth, and he never said anything that wasn't.

Sergej and X were still the only people that knew the truth about her ‘dating’ the Spanish Prince, she did not mind that the rest of the school had thought that she had been dating the traditional womanizer. After all it was worth it seeing as she tended to be quite close with Dante and even though she felt terrible for the two twins who were involved in this dirty love triangle of his she knew that she owed it to him to help him out. After all the two twins were going to be the ones that needed to figure things out since it did not seem like Vivien had a problem with being with her sister’s supposed fiancée. It did not matter whether they loved each other or not since it was public knowledge that neither Dante or Gabriella were a fan of the idea but there was a line that needed to be drawn in the sand, and she knew that neither her or X would ever have crossed that line if they were the same gender. She was nervous knowing that Sergej was going to be one of the protégés this year though at the same time knew that he would never allow himself the disrespect of being dragged into the mannerisms of the group, he was better than that and if he had a momentary lapse in judgment she was going to make sure that he knew that he was better than that while she might not be a part of the school anymore or around as often she still did hear about everything that went on. If anything even though she knew that he did not need it she hoped that he would realize that she was there for him. She could not help but be glad that she did not have to attend any more of the stupid parties of the Kings and Queens since a lot of the time she wound up as her brothers date to them. While she did not mind they tended to be laced with drama and something large always happened.

Both her younger brother and X knew about the fact that she had been hanging out with Sergej so therefore when it came out in the gossip blog which the both of them knew was only going to be a matter of time it was not going to be a surprise. All that she wanted right now was to be around him and his presence close to her was addicting, even though they were pressed close together she wanted to be closer, feel the warmth of him close to her and most of all she wanted to kiss him, though the time did not seem right and she was not too sure what he was going to think about it since they were in the public eye now. But still as they talked and her arms were wrapped around his neck their faces were close together and eyes met his gently mesmerized in hue that reminded her much of a cloudy night sky with the lack of stars. This caused her heart to flutter a little in her chest and tension pulled her shoulders rigid. As his forehead touched hers breathing seemed to catch in her throat and she was almost positive that he was able to feel the thumping of her heart in her chest and the erratic beats. It was too soon for her to ever think of the end and really who said that it was going to have to end? While she knew that it was a high possibility she tended to see the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ and know that she did not want to accept it. She was going to do her best to ensure that they gave whatever this was between the two of them a fighting chance. Even though she did not show it she really was a true romantic, she pretended like she would be perfectly happy being in an arranged marriage if it meant that it was going to benefit her brothers rule but deep down she had always wanted to be like every other girl and have the chance to fall in love, if not to just see what it felt like before resuming her duties that she felt to the country.

His lips were close to her ear and she was able to feel his breath along her neck which once again sent chills along her spine and it was not only the fact that he was so close but also the words that seemed to provoke it and a bright smile grew on her lips. I missed you too. All the time. She uttered gently. Fingers trailed along his bicep to run along his forearm and she moved closer to him yet again until her chin rested on his shoulder. The strange part about being around him was just how comfortable it made her and how even though it brought out the nerves it made her want more, dragged her back like an author often did to their readers with a cliff hanger. That was the only thing she could compare it to accurately.

Xavier and Max might have known about the fact that Sergej and Pirzi were spending a lot of time together, but Mira and his brother sure didn't. Sergej hadn't really told anyone about this, not even his best friend or even Dante, who was his mentor in the Kings group and quite a decent guy and a friend. He was actually honoured to be his wingman, mostly because next year he would therefore have a good sense of what was expected of someone in that group. But he hadn't told anyone about this whole deal with Pirzi and he had a feeling things might blow through the roof when it went public on the gossip blog - which it was bound to. He wasn't kidding himself, things like these didn't stay a secret for too long, obviously people took snaps all the time and sent them as tips to the ROYALSCANDAL character that then posted them online. When it hit, though, he would have to be prepared. People would ask questions, a lot of them.

Among them Mira was probably going to be the most brutal and he needed a good defense system against his own sister, which sounded absurd though not if you were Bulgarian. Of course the best defense was an attack, so he would need to make sure that he knew something about her before the gossip blog went online that he could use to throw back into her face. Sergej didn't delusion himself into thinking his sister would just calmly accept the situation as it was. She was a bit too dramafull to do that and he was expecting a fight, actually he was anticipating it, almost like a dog right before he went on the hunt. He would have to act fast to get the information he needed. Maybe it was time to talk to Dante a bit and ask for some help. Actually he could have done this earlier on, the Spanish prince didn't seem like someone entirely bad - just a little bit lost, but he was a good guy, as far as Sergej was able to tell. That seemed like a sound plan right now.

His attention returned to Pirzi and the sensations this whole slow-dance was waking in him. The fact that he was holding her close again was definitely something good, it was something he'd been looking forward to all week. If he would be forced to wait a week before seeing her again every time, well he would complain but he'd take what he got, he felt lucky that she even felt the same way so that she even came to him. To meet with him like this was a step forward, it was very public and it showed that they weren't really going to hide anymore. Sergej didn't feel like hiding though sometimes things could definitely be a lot easier that way. Not that he would go back a step now, it was too late to think that with the actions they were taking and the risks coming with them. But he enjoyed a little adrenaline - if school was boring, at least this could work out to a degree. The thought made him smile.

Her returning whisper made the smile turn into a smirk, and she stepped closer to rest her chin on his shoulder. By now, Sergej was sure she could feel the way his heart was beating hard away inside his chest, cracking against his ribcage and wanting to be free. His arms held her securely, lightly going up and down her back as their feet shuffled to the beat slowly. His lips found the skin on her neck; he couldn't help himself. She was the most intoxicating person he'd ever met. Everything about her invited him closer, to hold her tight and never let her go. He closed his eyes, nose lightly skimming her shoulder and back to her collarbone in a sweeping motion. The world could have ended and he wouldn't have noticed. "This is insane," he finally muttered in a rough voice, "is it normal that you're driving me crazy like this?" His hands tightened their hold on her, almost possessively, his cheek against her own again as he took a deep breath to regain control of his raging self.

She did not have a clue if Sergej had told anyone about this, she also knew that there was a limited amount of time before they were spotted and it was going to become public knowledge so she hoped that he had told all the people that he wanted to know before they found out through the gossip blog, if he felt like there were people that needed to know first at least? She hated that she knew his sister well enough to know that it was going to turn into a whole ordeal and all she could do was hope that it was not enough to scare him away from her. But she did have a feeling that the hot-headed prince would only be drawn closer to her by the fact that his sister would not accept the two of them spending time together. Really Pirzi had never interacted with Mira enough to know what the girl thought of her but she did presume that it was not much since she did not seem to hold anyone in high regards but her close friends. If there was anything that scared her a little it was the prospect of being under the scrutiny of his sister knowing that Sergej was truly different around her but it would not be the same for his sister. None of this was things that she needed to think about though since it was far too soon for any of that since the two were not even dating so really what did she have to worry about? Even though the two were not ‘together’ she did know that her feelings for him would keep her eyes on only him since she could not even picture herself thinking of anyone else this way. It might be early into whatever this was but her feelings were strong and she tended to go with her gut feeling when something important was involved. She loved spending time with him and knew that it was not going to change so where was the harm in this?

She did feel like there was a weight off her chest as she had told both of her brothers though and while she knew that X did not approve at all this was one time where she was not going to listen to him and not going to allow his skeptic words to get to her. If she did not take a risk that she felt was worth taking there was no telling what it could lead to. She knew that if it had been a year ago she would have reacted so differently. She would have probably listened to her brother and pushed him away and ruined everything between the two of them by now but with maturity came the want to take risks and being away from her brother caused her to feel as though she was free to make these risks without getting the brunt of a reminder every day. Plus when they had come back to Vineheart her and Marie and Frida had decided that they were not going to hide their feelings anymore no matter if it was proper or not amongst other things that they had agreed on, it was the start of the new year and this was going to be the perfect chance for a start of some new vows for this year.

The slow dances seemed to really be what brought the two of them together and she wished that they never had to end, loving the feeling of being close with him and the mingling of warmth between them as they danced. For a moment when her chin was rested on his shoulder eyes were allowed to flutter closed but the intensity was far too much for the to remain that way as the whisper seemed to affect him in the same way it had affected her. She was almost positive that anyone that was watching them would be able to see the passion between the two like it was plain as day. His arms held her close to him which in no way did she protest his lips touching her neck gently and the chills continued from as his hands had been running along her back and surely he would be able to see the affect he was having over her. It was rare for two people to feel as connected as she was feeling right now and she knew that they were lucky to be involved in something this passionate and never was it ever going to be taken for granted. She was going to do her best to always make sure he knew exactly how she felt about him. He muttered that this was insane and the strange part was that she knew exactly what he was talking about as he said it and did not even need to question a single part of it and it caused a soft smile to cross her face. It is. She uttered gently in a reply close to his ear. I think this is as normal as it gets between us and I am very glad because you make it very easy for me to be ecstatic with my decision to remain in Montana. She told him. She hoped that since she was a little more settled into the townhouse that she was going to get to see him a lot more often but at the same time she did not want to seem too eager and influence him into seeing her if this was not something that he wanted even though it kind of seemed silly now. The beat of the next song changed into something a little more upbeat where she did not even falter in step to change tempo, this brought the two of them away from one another as graceful steps led him for a moment before he regained composure of the switch and a brilliant smile remained plastered on her face. Tonight was proving to do just what she hoped, confirm what she was feeling for him and allow her to have a good time and relax before the stresses were to catch up with her. Watching him carefully she was able to anticipate his next moves which was what made their dancing together simply so mesmerizing. After a few moves that proved to be a little more complex the song came to an end leading her to be close to him once again with a bright grin looking up at him. She could not help herself as she leaned close to him and lips touched his gently but much too briefly for her liking and probably his own as well. I have been waiting all night to be able to do that. She uttered quietly.

This was all entirely new to him. While Pirzi could perhaps say that she had some experience with anything like this, Sergej definitely couldn't. Sure he'd flirted with his sister's servant a bit, but that really didn't even begin to cover what he was feeling right now. It was like something had exploded inside him and was pushing against all corners to get loose. He didn't know what to think - and thinking was becoming a problem too, though he was clinging to the last remaining bits of sanity before he'd totally lose it. His brother would probably have laughed if he ever got wind of this, though somehow, Sergej didn't think that would help either. It was just somethng he would have to learn how to deal with if he was ever going to be seen with Pirzi in public again, like tonight, or even in a way more public spot or situation. He didn't want to think about things like that though, so he dropped the subject immediately.

Her whisper send a wave of adrenaline cursing through his veins and his hands tightened their hold on her through the material of her dress. It wasn't hard, never hard, never something that could potentially hurt her. Sergej wasn't a brute, whatever else was said about him. Well, at least he wasn't that yet, though the potential to become that was definitely hidden somewhere inside. He kept on telling her that he was Bulgarian; he didn't think she quite understood what it meant really. To him, the term represented the hot-blooded stubborness which he shared with Mira, and a lot of other things. Bulgarians were not known, at least not at Vineheart, for being docile or even overly helpful. Nada was the obvious exception, but she'd been raised by Serbians so there was an obvious difference there in the beginning. Sergej just hoped that he wouldn't exhibit any of the lesser characteristics of his nature at any point tonight.

"Well just so you know," he told her softly, "I'm VERY happy that you stayed in Montana." His lips brushed her earlobe even as he heard the music change, the tempo becoming faster. By now, dancing with Pirzi was no longer a bother or even a chore, it was something he enjoyed, though he wasn't as fast in changing his steps as she was. But his reflexes were still good, which meant he was able to at least catch her if nothing else and then fall in-stride with the beat and into the next dance without much thought. She'd taught him enough to know that it was all about the connection between the partners - and the connection was definitely between them. No one who had a set of eyes on them could deny that. No matter what she did, Sergej couldn't be taken by surprise, it was something he'd found interesting actually - dancing with Pirzi was about as easy as breathing to him at this point in time. He laughed as he turned her, seeing the way she enjoyed herself and therefore having a good time as well.

The song flowed into a different one again, and Pirzi was close to him once more. His arms wrapped around her when her lips brushed against his, sending his blood to a boiling stage. "You're quite incorrigible," he told her matter-of-factly, grinning though, and his black eyes sparkling. But to properly kiss her, he didn't think the Ice Box was a good idea. Not the main dancefloor at least. So he pulled her after him, taking her hand so they'd be able to walk or run or dance or whatever without killing each other. "Come on." He could feel his heart beating with the tempo of the song as he lead the way. While he was okay with publicity, some things were better left not put out into the general public eye, and he didn't think she'd disagree with that. The air outside the Ice Box was cool, but not cold yet, and out of reach of the main entrance, Sergej stopped to pull Pirzi close to him, kissing her fully on the lips, for longer than she had before.

Never had she felt something like this before and she was feeling a little out of her element seeing as when she had been with Theo it would never compare so maybe that meant that she did have some sort of idea since she was able to compare it and to know that she had never felt something this powerful. She knew that this was very special and she was not about to take this for granted. The whisper that was pressed close to his neck seemed to do just what she hoped and this was what caused the hold on her dress to increase in grip but never where she felt uncomfortable in fact the tension between them only seemed to increase and her stomach fluttered with the butterflies that were characteristic for them being together, body pressed close to his until she was able to feel the man’s well sculpted abdomen against lithe body. She understood that he was Bulgarian and this did not bother her since she found that she trusted him. Never had she felt uncomfortable around her and he was simply so gentle with her, in fact sometimes she even wondered what it would take to force the man to a point where he was no longer holding back. She was positive that she could handle it, after all Xavier was her brother and she was not some fragile ultra-feminine girl. Yes, she was a lady but she had grown up with two brothers that were around her age and tended to take part in all the same activities and sports as them so therefore she was far from anything but tough. She was not the type to sit around and carry through with all the girly things like manicures and shopping she loved to be out doing something outdoors, dancing, hiking, rock climbing, swimming and all things like that. Part of the reason she was so drawn to him was the hot-blooded nature of the Prince, it was an allure that really she could not explain. The people that tended to be very hot-headed also tended to be very passionate.

When she told him that he was the reason that she was pleased to have stayed in Montana he uttered to her that he was very glad that she had stayed as well and this caused her to shiver gently with his words. His lips touched close to her neck and she was relieved by the change in music because she was not sure how much she could take before she would crumble from the intensity between the two of them and from there she did not have a clue where it would progress. Dancing had always been a release for her so when the tempo changed she found that she enjoyed this thoroughly and dancing with Sergej was on a complete new level than just dancing with herself or with some non-descript partner. The connection between the two of them was very special and she was able to notice a couple people whos eyes had landed on them and remained there mesmerized with the same feeling as between the two of them. She could not believe that he was having a good time as well which was very important to her. The two were laughing and joking and enjoying the comfortable feeling of being held close to one another she was having a fabulous time.

As soon as it was over she was back to where she had been before with body pressed against his and he stated that she was incorrigible and she grinned lightly. You like it. She uttered with a chuckle. She knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg and that if allowed to continue they might be involved in something very scandalous worthy of the gossip blog in the middle of the Ice Box but they were both much too proper for that, she knew that it was not her style to ever be seen as anything less than lady like even though she had been the center of a few of the blasts last year. He grasped her hand and she moved easily behind him in the direction of the door. She knew that there were a few eyes that were following them and yet she did not really care. She did not care what people were to think of them and that was final. The air was very mild seeing as it did not seem like Montana changed too quickly in seasons so therefore she was comfortable being outside. As soon as they were out of the view of the rest of the building she was pulled close to him and no restraints were held anymore, knowing that it was quite dangerous and she liked every moment of it. There was nothing holding her back when she met his lips this next time. One hand held her close to him while the other ran across the back of his neck lightly. If her brothers saw her now she hated to think what lectures she would be a part of.

Dancing with Pirzi was always something to look forward to. He didn't know whether he'd ever told her that, but obviously she had to know, because she wouldn't consider dancing with him again and he definitely wouldn't be here with her if that were the case. But Sergej was growing fond of dancing, definitely, especially since it meant he got to be close to Pirzi. That didn't mean he was going to be dancing at Vineheart at any point in time, seeing as the only girl he could ever think of being partnered with was away at university. In Montana, true, but that didn't mean that it was any more possible for them to dance together outside clubs like these and such. No, he would dance with Pirzi or with no one else, that was a given and a final.

The beat of the song wasn't even close to the number they'd danced to for her presentaion, but it was closer to what they'd danced to in Berlin. His thoughts flew back to that warm summer night with a smile ,even as he turned her under his arm and brought her close into an intricate design of moves that by all rights shouldn't be something he knew, yet she'd taught him a lot of things during their practice lessons. And then of course Berlin ... ah, Berlin. He would definitely enjoy going back to that quaint little restaurant someday. It had a homey feel to it and he'd enjoyed the music there, and the scenery. It was small enough to keep unwanted guests at bay, and big enough to keep his interest there. It was absolutely right. A memory of Pirzi in the red dress made him smile more, though his steps in the dance never faltered. She had that effect on him.

Pirzi was someone he still couldn't believe was even moving in the same circles as he was. They were after all two years apart, and not so that she was younger. It was a bit out of the conventional, though Sergej didn't particularly care about convention. Heck, his sister was Mira after all, it wasn't like anything was normal about his life right now. Nada was a sister too, something he'd never thought would be possible though now that he thought about it it was pretty logical, given that they were quite alike. He'd just never looked at them in that way before, that they might be twins. Now it seemed he would have to work his way into Nada's good graces somehow, just because he wanted to get to know her better ... his sister. That was just a scary thought, like he'd told Pirzi during their exchange of tetx messages.

She followed him willingly enough, and he laughed quietly. "And you know I do," he told her, turning back to look at her on the steps that would lead them out of the Ice Box with a smirk. Then he was out, away from the club and holding her close to him like he wanted to. His arms wrapped around her, he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up at her touch, sending goosebumps down his arms even as he deepened the kiss. He needed a breather soon though, so he was the first to break it, resting his forehead against her own and taking deep, even breaths. "Insane." was all he said again, though he didn't let her go. He just hugged her close to him.

She wished that there was any way that she would be able to convince him to join the dance program to dance with her though she knew that this was not something that would guarantee that she would have him all to herself while performing and not only that he needed to focus on his own school work as well as the Kings and she would never want to ask him something that would be a burden on that and it was just not practical even though it would make seeing him not only a lot easier but also would feed into something that she knew the both of them enjoyed though dancing together could be their secret weakness for one another that no one knew about. There was going to be plenty of opportunities she was sure that they were going to get to dance together, she was transported back to the time in Berlin that had proved to be so special since that had been when she had really realized her feelings for him and the fact of how strong the intensity between them was. Sure she had a clue the day previous to that night on their picnic but the dancing really seemed to bring it out in both of them and they were unable to keep their hands off one another and she was left feeling like nothing but a teenage girl that was completely captivated and mesmerized by the boy in front of her. The restaurant was a place that she had loved to go and now the memories of being there were even better and surely going to draw her back whenever she was there to visit. To her now Germany almost did not feel like home since it had just been a place that had always been temporary in the last five years, Montana felt like her home since this was where she settled into at the beginning of every year. Even summer that was a few months long did not prove to make her feel like Germany was her home. She had always vowed that this was not going to be the way that it was because she loved the country but she could not help but always feel as though it was temporary knowing that she was going to be expected to marry some Royal and therefore she would be transported off to wherever their home was as soon as this was all over and her time was spent in university. Still she did not know how well this was going to go over and knew that it was only going to be a matter of time before her mother and her were speaking again and the Queen would be back on hounding her to be involved with one Prince or another so she was tending to enjoy the time away from talking with her mother.

All these thoughts were lost the moment that they got outside and he uttered that she knew that he liked this all and a small smile crossed her face gently. She did not even get the time to respond before he was close to her again holding her against him and pressing his lips to hers and her heart was racing and felt like at any moment it was going to leapt completely free of her chest. She was thankful that he was the one that broke away knowing that she did not have the self-control to do so and breathing took a moment to regulate back to normal. Their forehead remained touching and she did not want to move from the way that they were standing but also knew that it was something that was essential. She did not want to go back into the Ice Box though as that did not seem to be something that she was all that interested in. As he uttered the one word it caused the smile to broaden as she moved closer to where a kiss was placed on his cheek gently. Have you ever been the bakery down the road? She knew that it was still going to be operating on summer hours and since it was also an ice cream place that would mean that it would still be open and so with a small grin and stepped back leading him in that direction, she was not too positive whether to remain close at his side after what had happened with them or to give him some sort of space though he would be allowed to decide where this was going to progress to at the moment. The streetlights were dim and the streets were very quiet at this time and it was soothing compared to how stressful life seemed to be lately, strides were long and lackadaisical as she walked by his side with a soft sigh. The only people that they passed by were the occasional couple and the other people were walking their dogs and not even a glance was shot in their direction so it was nice to be out of the spotlight for once. The bakery being a place that she had always loved coming when she had been in Vineheart and it did not fail her when she noticed the sign was flashing open. She seemed to be the master of finding all the hole-in-the-wall places around.
