It was just one night – and in the grand scheme of things, what did one night really matter? One night couldn't hurt anything, could it? It is, after all, just one night. One night when we were just Ron and Hermione, one night where the world would just melt away – and this night forgotten, shelved away in the deeper regions of our memories. One night where everything wouldn't matter. One night that I wouldn't want to forget, one that... would make me feel like I was the only woman in the world. One where I'd feel safe with his arms around me, oblivious to everything else. Just one night.
I could feel it in my bones as he pressed himself against me, that longing that just begged to be set free. His lips gently touched mine, and heat just coursed through my their veins. I wanted him, so much it was almost a need. Scratch that. It was a need. And as we fell back on the pillows, scrambling for the protection and cover of the white sheet, I allowed myself to take in the moment, feeling every part of his body against mine. Our lips parted, and I struggled to catch my breath as he caressed me – for all it was worth.
"I love you."
Later, I would be able to remember the euphoria, however brief it might have been. I would remember every sound we made, every word he'd spoken, and every place we touched. I would relive that night when I needed to escape, even though I know that the aftereffects of the memory might kill me. I would always remember the way he told me he loved me, how gently he'd held me, and how safe I'd felt as I drifted to into a peaceful sleep – and remember all the times he'd held me when my world came crashing down.
I would also remember, unfortunately, how we both acted as though nothing happened, and how much it hurt to look into his eyes after that.
It was just one night. But it was the one night that would haunt me forever.
Hello guys. It's me. Again. I was thinking of making this a multi-chaptered story... but then again that depends on what you guys want. I'd love some concrit too, if you guys don't mind. Thanks. :)
