Hello!
I would like to thank you all for the amazing reviews! They truly inspire me to write more. And I positively noticed that those who have reviewed on the first chapter reviewed on the second as well!
I'm sorry for the late updates, I hate when an author takes ages to write another chapter. But here it is! I made it!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
I hated being weak. I was so fragile and hurt it irritated me. How long was it going to take me to be strong again? How long till the confident tough woman came out? The truth was that on the inside I was still a girl.
It was after a while that I noticed that Scorpius had followed me.
Compose yourself Rose.
You are not hurt.
You are fine.
Just need to stay calm.
You are feeling great!
Okay don't exaggerate.
Breathe.
"Rose."
That one word made all my cool disappear.
"Uh hey Scorpius." My voice was too high. "Hello Scorpius." I tried with a lower tone.
There was an awkward silence.
"I'm feeling brilliant!"
"You know, you are a terrible liar. Are you going to ignore that I just saw you run away upset? And besides your voice gets all high and squeaky when you lie."
I shot him a glare. "First of all I am a badass liar." I said slightly sarcastically.
"And second, why do you even care?"
Scorpius stayed silent.
"You should have told me."
"Oh yeah sorry, 'hey Scorpius, wanna be my fake boyfriend? By the way I once found my ex-boyfriend fucking my best friend, okay?', why didn't I start with that?"
"You don't even get the uncomfortable position you put me in."
"You know what, you are so right. The next time anything that turns my life upside down happens, I'll be sure to keep in mind how that will affect you."
"Can you just stop with this sarcasm?"
"Not when you are making my bad break-up about you."
"Don't you get that I became part of this situation the moment you invited me here?"
"Our relationship is fake! You don't have to care about what happened to me. Nothing is real." I continued.
"Why are you angry with me?"
"I am not angry!" My voice was near to yelling. "Sorry." I apologized.
"I care about you. You're my friend." He justified himself.
"A friend you haven't seen for nearly four years. "
"And who's fault is that?" He replied.
"That's not fair. You have never sent me a letter either."
"If we aren't friends, then why did you ask me to come here?" He said irritated. I was surprised that Scorpius was losing his calm, but the fact that I was the reason why scared me.
"I don't know." I whispered.
"Why did you accept?" I retorted.
He concealed everything before speaking again.
"I don't need to answer you." He said coldly.
"They are starting lunch, let's go." He added.
"Yeah." Was all that I managed to pronounce.
We were seated next to some friends of the bride and groom.
"I'm Betty, Henry's cousin."
"I'm Gabriel, her husband."
"Diana, just a distant friend of the newly wedds."
"A pleasure, I'm Scorpius and this is my girlfriend Rose. Rose is Al's cousin." As he introduced me he avoided eye contact with me.
"Oh of course! Albus, such a delightful lad." Betty commented smiling. She was quite nice looking, a bit chubby and she seemed like a friendly woman.
Gabriel was not very charming, not very tall nor fit, his beard needed some trimming and it looked like he was going bald.
Diana looked like a very cute woman, her skin was dark, she was petite, her brown hair was short and her eyes were hazel.
After that short introduction and some hand shaking, the waiters began serving.
"You must know Albus from a very long time. There is one curiosity I have been dying to ask. How was he as a child?"
"You will never believe this, and he will probably murder me in my sleep if I tell, but he was a terrible baby!" I commented."Always destroying James's toys."
Betty laughed. "That's very hard to imagine! I've always pictured him as the perfect m-"
Gabriel coughed dramatically. "- second perfect man." Betty finished.
"Once," I grinned at the memory."when he was around five years old, he ate his mother's lipstick and they had to bring him to the hospital!"
At this point even Gabriel and Diana started laughing.
"So have long have you two been dating?" Diana asked, trying to make conversation. The meat was now being served.
"Ugh tw-" "Fou-" Me and Scorpius started saying contemporarily. I stepped on his foot with my heels to make him shut up. He wept and I had to try my best to hide a satisfied smile. People often forget the power of a heel.
"We have been on and off actually."
"She is hard to stay angry with." Scorpius commented sarcastically, earning an understanding smile from Gabriel.
His lips formed tight line and his jaw was clenched, it was obvious he was still angry with me.
"If only that were true." I muttered silently under my breath.
"Sorry Rose you said something?" Asked Betty.
"We manage to pull through."
Scorpius smiled awkwardly as he had heard what I had said previously.
"Hope you are enjoying your steak." He said. "Honey."
"Extremely." My response was flat.
You've gotta love passive aggressive conversations.
Oh Merlin why was I being so hard on him? He was only caring for me. No, he didn't really care, Rose, he was just kind.
Everybody was talking, I could vaguely see their lips moving. They started laughing about something Scorpius said.
He was very handsome, that blonde hair, those gray eyes. I wondered what he would look like without a shirt, he probably would look drop dead gorgeous. And I just loved his face, so muscular an- oh shit! He's looking at me! Quick Rose, look casual!
"Uh, Rose?"
"Sorry, what was the um... the question?"
"Would you like another glass of wine?" The real question is are his lips soft or rough?
"Y-No. No, I don't." God Rose! What planet are you on?! Scorpius equal not cute, friend, well sorta friend.
"Sorry, could I borrow Rose and Scorpius for a second?" It was Al's voice.
"Oh of course."
"Come with me." He whispered to us.
We started walking farther away from the Wedding.
Albus looked stressed, he anxiously looked around himself to see if no one was coming.
"I lost my wand."
"When were you going to tell us that?!" I scolded him.
" No, you don't understand. I lost my wand here."
"Oh fuck."
"That is appropriate." Scorpius commented.
"They won't recognise it. It's just a stick."
"Sometimes it blinks a red light." He said slowly.
"Albus! Why would you bring it here?!"
"I never leave my wand."
"That's what I said, but Miss Sarcasm here left hers home."
I stuck out my tongue at him.
We searched everywhere possible. But with no success.
"We'll have to summon it and pray that nobody notices a stick magically moving." I sighed.
"What does pray mean?"
"Not now Scorpius!"
"I guess that's the only option." Albus agreed.
"Accio Albus's wand!" Scorpius pronounced and in a couple of seconds the object came flying into his hand.
"That was a close one."He said relieved as he passed Albus his wand.
A crashing sound came near by.
"Oh bloody hell." Scorpius said looking at the source of the sound.
Right next to the shattered glass was an awfully surprised Jane.
I hoped you enjoyed it! If you noticed some mistakes or if you think there is something I could've written better, do tell me by leaving a review or sending me a message.
