Disclaimer : I own nothing except the plot !!

I hope u guys like it and please tell me if i should continue ..

Pacing in my room in the not-so-bad apartment i own .. That's what i seem to be doing for the past week.

I can't do this..

I flopped down on my bed and stared at the ceiling .. I suddenly smelled something burning. Oh Bloody Hell !!

I ran to my kitchen downstairs and quickly got the cookies i was baking out of the oven.

"Oh my god .. Not again!! " I groaned . This is the third time i burn these damn cookies. Madam Rosmerta is going to be pissed. She has been asking for these for a week now. It doesn't take that long to bake some cookies !

After graduating from Hogwarts, i decided to open my own bakery. Practically every single person that has tasted my cooking encouraged me. I managed to bake, cook and do everything in between without using magic. I loved the feeling of sugar and flour between my fingers, the sweet scents of vanilla and chocolate filling the air around me and the feeling of accomplishment once i see the result of all the hard work. It was my own little heaven..

I bought a small shop next to my uncle George's shop and luckily found an empty apartment above it. He was my biggest supporter because of all the chocolate chip frogs he managed to eat. I was settled and running in a week's time. Business was good and i had the best and most respectable customers from all over the wizarding world. And to think i was only twenty one !

Opening my own bakery is just starting to seem like a bad idea. I can't seem to concentrate on anything lately. Not since he decided to visit my humble shop ..

FLASHBACK :

I was out back getting a bag of chocolate when i heard the bell to the bakery jingling. Hurrying inside to check who it was i almost fell flat on my face. Pushing the curtains aside with my hips and hurrying to the counter while trying to adjust the bag of chocolates on my hip..

"Welcome to Simply Sweet .. Are you looking for something special ? ?" I said cheerfully.

The figure that had entered turned to me and looked up. I gasped !! Bloody Hell ..

"Scorpius ?? "

"Rose ?? " We both said at the same time.

I stood staring and finally the bag of chocolate decided to fall ! Excellent !!

I knelt to try and pick up the blocks of chocolate that managed to escape the bag and i felt him kneel down with me.

"Let me help you with .. "

"You don't have to.."

We both said at the same time, lifting our heads. I was now staring at Scorpio Malfoy. Our faces inches apart . I could feel him breathing in deeply then breathing out. The soft breath caressing my face. He closed his eyes then waited a moment before helping me up.

"I didn't know you worked here." He said slowly after helping me with the bag and carrying it back to the kitchen.

"I don't work here.. I own the place." I said laughing slightly at his face. He seemed shocked at first but managed to cover it up rather quickly.

" Well.. That is unexpected. I thought that with all you're perfect grades you'd be the minister of magic or something by now. I never knew that you were serious when you mentioned you wanted to open you're own bakery." He said also laughing slightly.

"Well you never bothered to actually know me Scorpious. I .. You know what .. It's not important. You must have come here for a reason .. So, What is it ?" I said feeling the past sense of being unworthy. I always felt unworthy and unimportant in his presence.. Or any Slytherines's presence for that matter !

"I .. I just needed a birthday cake for my mother. It's her birthday and i heard that this was the place the best .. so here i am." He said and i could've sworn that i saw a flash of hurt in Malfoy's eyes at my tone.

"Oh .. Well. Come with me then and you could pick out a cake or you could just tell me what you want if it's a special order and i could make it .." I said leading him up front.

I watched him walk around the bakery looking at the various cakes trying to chose. He was the same Scorpius Malfoy. He was slightly taller now and more built. His hair was the same platinum blonde color but it was longer now and slightly fell into his beautiful eyes. Yes, Scorpius Malfoy would be called handsome.

Thinking back to our Hogwarts years, i remember how Scorpius used to be. At first sight you would definitely know that he was a Malfoy, with the looks and the attitude. But i always sensed something different. He had this presence that always managed to strike my interest. Of course he never gave me the time of day but when he did i always sensed that he was never actually the person people saw. That he was somehow different.

We hadn't really talked throughout the years except maybe for the last year. We had a sort of understanding .. Respectable behaviour considering our family history. Unlike his fellow Slytherines who always made me feel like dirt, he was sort of neutral. He was always on the side lines watching his friends calling me names and making fun of me. He never spoke a word to me but i could always see that look in his eyes. A look that i could never understand, not even now.

"Rose ?" I heard his voice snapping me out of my memories.

"Sorry .. Did you choose ?" I asked looking at him .

"Yes , I'll take that chocolate one" He said looking at me with that same look that he had all these years ago.

"Ok .. Just a moment." I took a few steps around him and then grabbed what he wanted and wrapped it up. I handed it to him and he paid.

"Thank you Rose .. " He said smiling slightly. " I will see you soon i hope. "

"Of course." I said feeling this warm feeling inside that told me something was definitely wrong.

END FLASHBACK

And i did see him soon. He came into my shop everyday for the following month.

I was actually shocked at first thinking that he only came to pick on me or something but then i figured that he wasn't. He came in everyday. When i went down to open up the shop, he was standing there with two steaming cups of coffee. He would spend the day helping me around the store and tasting some of my new "inventions". Then, when it was time for closing, he would leave promising me to come the following morning.. I thought he might get bored of the monotonous routine or simply get bored of me.. To my surprise.. he wasn't.. We actually came to define ourselves as .. friends. A Malfoy and a Weasley.. Shocking !!

And now .. why I'm so jumpy and unable to concentrate .. Scorpius Malfoy hadn't set foot into my bakery for the last week and i was actually worried. What happened .. He promised me that he would come .. He didn't !!

Each day i found that i craved his company and the simple, trivial things we talked about more and more ..

So .. watcha think ??!
