Rose's arms were crossed over her chest stubbornly, pointedly looking away from Al. "Rosie," he said softly, trying to get on her good side again.
"Don't 'Rosie' me," She hissed. "I don't want to sit around and watch you and Scorpius get so pissed you cant see straight," Rose said, her face hard.
Al chuckled – he chuckled! The nerve of that boy! "You can get pissed, too, Rose," he said, his chuckles becoming louder.
Rose glared at Albus. "I actually have a dignity, thank you very much," she muttered as they walked through the door of the Muggle pub.
Scorpius was sitting at a table in the back, tapping a coaster idly to the table as he mulled things over in his mind.
Just a couple of hours ago, he had broken up with Jana. Why? Because he wanted Rose. And that was his goal. To make Rose his. He almost had her in Hogwarts, too.
"Rose," Scorpius said quietly, setting his quill down.
"Huh?" Rose was busy writing her essay. Scorpius sat, transfixed, for a few moments, watching the determination on her face as she wrote. The way her lips pursed while she was thinking, drove him crazy. How he longed to have her lips on his again.
She looked up when she was done, blushing when she noticed Scorpius staring. "Yes?" She asked, a smile tugging on her lips.
Scorpius' cheeks tinted lightly pink, having been caught staring. Rose smiled at him, placing her things in her bag. She placed her hands on the table, clasped together, in front of Scorpius.
"Yes?" She repeated, one brow raised.
Scorpius smirked, and took her clasped hands in his. Rose gasped slightly, glad the library was empty. No one, except Rose and Scorpius, stayed up so late in the library. "Scorpius, I don't think-"
"Shh," He said, standing up, pulling Rose with him. She blushed as he came up beside her, her hands still in his. "Rose," he began, smiling. This was it. Everything in his life was perfect right now. Rose had just broken up with her boyfriend, leaving her single.
"Rose. Im going to kiss you. Okay?" He was grinning like a fool right now. He was going to kiss her again. Have her warm plump lips on his again. She tasted good too, he remembered. Like cherries.
Rose sighed and looked to the floor. "Scorpius," she began. It was almost a plea. "We can't."
Scorpius' face fell. "Why not?" He demanded, his hand tightening around hers.
She yanked her hands from his, and glared. "Because, I don't like you like that," she lied, although her face spoke otherwise .She and Scorpius could never be together .Not matter how badly she wanted him, she would not allow them to get involved. It would make things too complicated. And if they did date, what if they broke up? Al would choose one or the other, and Rose and Scorpius would no longer be friends.
"Fine. Goodbye, Weasley," he muttered, angered at his rejection. He gathered his things and stormed from the library, leaving a very shell shocked Rose behind.
Scorpius stood up and smiled when Al and Rose walked in. She looked even more beautiful when she was angry. "Hey, mate," he said, giving Al a man hug. Rose huffed and slid into the booth, soon flanked by Scorpius and Al on either side. There was, conveniently, no other chairs at this table. Just a booth. Good one, Scorp, she thought.
Scorpius nudged Rose's elbow, trying to get something out of her. "What?" She grumbled, a smile appearing on her lips.
"Listen, Rosie," Scorpius began, Al looking the other direction.
"I'm listening," she said, looking away from Scorpius, trying to keep her anger towards him.
"I should've stayed with you, earlier. I missed you. Please don't be mad at me," he pleaded.
Rose rolled her eyes. "Fine. But Im not hanging around with you and that Jana girl, ever," she said. She decided that she and Scorpius could only be friends. And that's what they were going to be. Friends. Nothing more.
"I broke up with her," Scorpius said, feeling relieved at letting Rose know. He smiled at her.
"Oh?" was all Rose could manage. Jana had seemed pretty intent on something else from Scorpius, and he had seemed happy to oblige to the girl's wishes, after all, he had left Rose to go home with Jana. Her face hardened as she realized what had probably happened between Scorpius and Jana. "Before or after the sex?" She demanded.
She shoved Scorpius out of the booth and stormed out of the pub. "What the hell is wrong with her?" Scorpius exclaimed, his face lined with anger. He groaned loudly and followed Rose out of the pub.
Because his legs were much longer, he caught up to her quickly, grabbing her elbow and spinning her around to face him. "What is wrong with you?" He demanded, his grip on her elbow tightening. "I can have a girlfriend," he snarled. "And I can bloody shag anyone I want to."
Rose fought uselessly to break his grasp, with no avail. "Let me go!" She yelled, hitting his chest with her free hand. She purposefully ignored his question. She didn't know what was wrong with her, honestly. This was what she wanted, right. To be just friends?
Scorpius dropped her elbow and pulled her body against his. He buried his head in her hair. "Merlin, Rosie," he whispered, breathing in her floral shampoo.
What the hell was he doing? Wasn't he mad at her? Wasn't she mad at him? And now he was…hugging her?
Rose buried her head in his chest, her arms around his waist. "Im sorry, Rosie," Scorpius whispered in her hair.
"Me too. No more fighting?"
"None," Scorpius agreed, pulling away from her. "Why do we always fight?" He asked, chuckling lightly.
Rose shrugged. "Dunno. But it get's rather old," she said as they walked back into the pub.
That was how it always worked out. They fought and ended up making up, pushing the fight from their memories, never speaking of it again. They acted like it never happened. It was better that way. To erase the bad parts of their relationship.
Rose pushed Al to the middle of the booth, taking the spot he had just occupied, Scorpius taking his earlier spot. Al ordered a couple beers each for him and Scorpius, Rose opting for a Coke.
She thought over a lot of things while she sipped her soda, while Al and Scorpius proceeded to get drunk, one being her feelings towards Scorpius.
They fought over stupid things, many of which have no clear purpose. Like tonight's fight. What did Rose care if Scorpius had sex with Jana before breaking up with her? Why did it bother her that Scorpius had had a life for a couple of years, a life that didn't involve Rose?
Why did she love him so much?
a/n: so, I think this is kinda confusing, the way I wrote it, but I understood what was happening, lol. Feedback, please?
