Chapter 4:

Brande lay in the warm bath , surrounded by white sweet smelling bubbles . Her hair was tied up in a messy bun on top of her head . The morning sun shining through the window made the room warmer . Her mother and auntey should be back tomorrow , she wondered why and where they'd had to go , her mind then drifted to the young blonde a few doors away from her own , she hadnt seen him since he left her room last night .

The warmth of the sun and heat from the water was making her too hot, she stood from the bath and grabbed a towl , she dried off her body and lotioned herself down. She sat infront of the mirror and let her hair fall in messy curls down her back , she added make up and pulled on her underwear. She suddenly heard a voice , a faint voice as though it was coming from a far .

She walked over to the bedroom door and opened it quietly and looked out into the hall .

She heard it again! It was a girls voice , it was louder since she had opened the door . And then it hit her ...Draco must have a girl with him.

The more she thought about it the more her stomache notted and pulled .

She slammed the bedroom door shut and walked over to her bed and slammed herself down on it angrily .

Thats great , she thought, what am i going to do all day !

She couldnt just go and knock on his door while he had another girl there , what if he told her to leave? Now that would just be embaressing .

She jumped off her bed and into her wardbrobe and pulled a pair of grey sweats on and a white tank top , she pulled on some pink socks and left her room .

She walked past draco's door walking slowly to try and catch any conversation but she heard nothing, she carried on through the corridors and down the stairs , this really was a huge house and she may aswell explore it while she had the chance. She turned into another hallway and collided into a hard object causing her to bang into the wall, she looked up to see draco staring down at her with a frown .

" what are you doing " he asked

She stood up straight " just exploring ..why?"

His face softened " nothing ..just curious"

" well i had to do something , im bored in my room and i hear you've got company " she smirked at him

His frown appeared again " how do you know"

" I heard it ...i mean...herrr" she smiled sweetly

He raised and eyebrow and smirked " jealous?"

She grinned back up at him " i dont see theres anything to be jealous of dear cousin " she walked past him but she was pulled back by his hand wrapped around her wrist , he pulled her close to him , there faces almost touching .

She waited for him to say something but he didnt , he stared into her eyes , curiously, asif waiting for her to say something or do something , she looked down at her wrist where his hand still lay , locked on tight asif holding on for dear life.

She scanned his face , taking in every feature burning it into her memory , his eyes a brilliant grey, they held so many emotions , hate , love,lust ,curiosity,fear ,happiness. With out even realsing what she was doing she threw her arms around his neck and pulled her body close to his resting her head into the curve of his neck , she felt his arms slither around her waist bringing her as close to him as she could possibly be , leaning his head to hers .

" i miss my mom" she whipered into his neck , he shivered feeling her warm breath against his cold skin " you have me" he whispered back, she pulled back a few inches their arms still wrapped around each other, she looked at him " you dont understand ...you've had family all your life..i havent " .

He leaned his head down closer to her for a minute she thought he was going to kiss her but he just rested his forhead against hers still looking into each others eyes " i get it i do ...but you have family now "

"But know shes left me again " she pouted , he laughed quietly "shes only gone for two days she'll be back"

" i no" she said quietly " you'll never leave me will you" she asked him , he didnt reply straight away , he closed his eyes and slowly opened them " no... ill never leave you " with this she smiled and pulled him back into a huge hug squeezing him tightly .

"draco " she said her head resting against his neck

"Hmmmmm"

" make her go "

She looked up at him and smiled " make her go and we'll go out and do something "

He looked down at her face , her wide puppy eyes pleading with him, how could he say no? " give me ten minutes " he smiled

She clapped her hands together " ok im gonna go change" she reached up and kissed his cheek

" come on" he said holding out his hand for her " I'll take you back to your room " she grabbed his hand as they both looked down to inspect them , asif they expected something to happen .

She looked back up at him slowly meeting his stare and smiled , he smiled back , and with that they walked along the corridors hand in hand , the pictures on the walls following them with there eyes , small smiles growing on the faces.

They walked through the halls in complete silence , catching a gilmpse of each other every now and then . They walked past draco's room to brande's

" what are you gonna tell her" she asked turning to him leaning up the door

" tell her my mother wants me to meet her about somthing , ill just make something up" he laughed

"ok, well just knock my door when she's gone " she said opening her door and stepping in , she turned and stuck her head round the door watching him walk to his room , he turned to face her before entering and smiled before walking in his room.
