This was originally co-written with 23Nelly almost TWO years ago. For some reason, I felt the sudden urge to edit this. Every single sentence has been re-written and many things have been added. This sucked before but now it is a lot better. YAY!


"Mhmmm" Hermione moaned into a warm chiseled chest. She cracked her eyes open to get a better look at his beautiful torso. Hermione began to trace each contour and curve as she attempted to memorize it all over again.

"That was great love. Just give me five minutes and we'll go again." Draco sighed into the pillow as he turned to face Hermione. She chuckled quietly as she lifted herself up to look at his face, already knowing that he'd be fast asleep in five minutes. "Alright," she agreed, throwing her head back against the pillow and just laid beside him, running her hands down his chest.

I am so lucky, Hermione thought as she looked at her companion sleeping softly. She was well aware that many girls would die to just have a single romp with the blond playboy. After all, what girl wouldn't want to have some great (and meaningless) sex? She blushed as she thought of all the naughty places and positions they shagged in. All around her flat, his and even some places in public they definitely shouldn't have had sex in, such as the ladies loo in the Muggle restaurant across the street from her office. She could see Draco's chest rising and falling as he slowly fell into a deeper sleep. She could just feel the tears forming in her eyes again as she remembered that she couldn't fall in love with him.

Even though Draco had convinced her that the thing going on between them was purely platonic on both ends, it didn't stop Hermione from wondering why they always saw each other at the end of the day. Why he would appear with gorgeous models during the day but end up in her bed at night? It wasn't like they wouldn't put out; in fact, they were always fawning over him.

"Why did I even say yes to this stupid thing?" Hermione whispered to herself. She threw her hands over her face and groaned. Part of Hermione knew that he couldn't live without her either and that he couldn't stand a day without being in her presence. But then the more logical side of her saw the truth – Draco Malfoy liked sex and he liked shagging her and that he didn't want to date anyone.

"This is crazy." Hermione groaned loudly again, making Draco stir slightly. The whole forbidden shit! I hate the secrecy, the lies, everything I have to hide from people…about us.

"But for some reason only Merlin knows, I completely addicted to you," Hermione whispered as she turned to look at his peaceful face on the pillow next to hers. She could never stop looking at his face. She loved his hair. The way its' silky strands wound fall around his face and curls slightly at the ends. She even thought his eyebrows were fantastic. Oh and that nose, the way it nuzzled her neck in all the right places. And his lips. The amazing things he could do with those lips. Even when he wasn't kissing her, his smirk would always have her weak in the knees.

"I love you, Draco." Hermione whispered against his lips as she lightly kissed him. She glanced at him one last time and rolled out of the bed as quickly as she could and went to his bathroom, closing the door quietly. She ran her hand through her hair in a lame attempt to get rid of her 'I just had sex' look and transfigured a bottle of Draco's shaving cream into a hair brush. She yanked through her hair with the brush and nearly yelled in frustration when it hit all the tangles.

She hated this no strings attached relationship that they had. Sometimes, she just wanted to give up on him and find herself a good guy who would love her forever. Unfortunately for her, she also knew that she couldn't move past the blond.

Hermione looked up at the mirror she had tried to avoid while she in his bathroom but couldn't. She stared at her reflection through the now faded message left on the glass in red lipstick. It was from their first night together all those months ago. Suddenly, she could just feel it in her soul that what they were doing was wrong and she knew that she had to put a stop to it. Hastily, she pulled out her lipstick from the pocket of her trousers and scribbled a new message over the old one onto the glass.

Draco,

I love you but I can't do this anymore. Call me when you're ready to be in a real relationship.

-Hermione

She could see the kiss she had she left along with her Floo address in her first message. The same note that had stated it all. That's what had caused her heart to be shattered through their stupid fling.

Just a single note and a kiss.
