Ginny was the happiest that she had been in a long time. She was with her first love and he made her feel like a princess, there was only one problem. Every time that he hugged her; it felt like a friend or a brotherly hug. Every time that he kissed her; it was on the forehead. She didn't understand. He said that he loved her, in the hospital, and kissed her but after that it changed.
Did he really love her or was he just saying that so she would try and get better. They were having a wonderful time together but every time she started flirting with him he would quickly back away and change the subject. Maybe he saw her as damaged goods or maybe he just wasn't interested in her that way anymore, but if that is the case then why does she keep catching him staring at her?
When she walked out of the bathroom yesterday, in a small towel, she thought that he was going to faint. The way that he was looking at her made it obvious, so she thought, what was on his mind. But once again when she came onto him, he backed away. She was so confused; she didn't know what to do.

Harry was happier than he had been in a long time. He was with Ginny, the love of his life. She made him feel like he was on top of the world. There was only one problem. How long was he going to be able to keep up this charade?
Every time he hugged her, he had to pull away. Every time he kissed her, he had to pretend that he was kissing Hermione. After that kiss in the hospital, he had to restrain himself. The desire was almost too much for him to contain.
He loved her more than he thought was possible. They were having a wonderful time together but every time she began to flirt with him, he had to pull away. He wanted her, wanted to be with her, wanted to be one with her.
Yesterday, when she walked out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel, he thought that he was going to pass out. Hopefully she didn't notice his state and couldn't read his mind through his expressions. When she came onto him, he almost gave in to his desires, his wanton thoughts.
It was becoming increasingly more difficult to resist her. He was so worried that he would give into her; he didn't know what to do.
***************************************************************************************************
Ginny had come to a decision. One way or another she was going to find out what Harry's true feelings were. She got dressed in a small pink tank top and a miniskirt and walked into the living room. Harry was on the couch, relaxing; when she came in.
She squeezed between the coffee table and him. Making sure that her assets were as close to him as possible. She sat down, seductively, beside him.
"So, what are you doing?" she asked, flipping her hair over her shoulder.
He just looked down at the floor and mumbled."Nothing."
"Harry, what's going on?" she asked.
"What do you mean?" he replied, still not looking at her.
"Do you love me?" she asked.
"Ginny, you know I do." he said.
"Then why won't you look at me? Every time that you kiss me, I feel like you are one of my brothers. When I try to get close to you, you back away like I am a slug or something. Do I repulse you?" she asked.
"Gods no, Ginny. It's taking all of my self control not to kiss you every second of everyday." looking into her deep brown eyes.
"I don't understand." she said questioningly.
"After everything that you have been through, I thought that you needed time to, I don't know, deal with it all. I didn't want to push you into anything that you might regret later." he explained.
"Regret? Harry, you are all that I ever wanted. The first time that I saw you at the train station, I knew. If we were to, you know, I would never have any regrets." she said.
"I just didn't think that it was the right time. When you came home with me, that first night, I almost gave into temptation! But I realized that after all that had happened, you were vulnerable and I wasn't going to take advantage of that. After all the horrors that Damien inflicted upon you, you just needed someone to care about you, to love you, and I do love you. That s why I didn't push you. Right now, in your heart, there is still a place for Damien. Not love, more like revenge. If we were to be intimate, yes most of it would be our love, but a small part would be revenge. I don't want that. When we are together for the first time, I want it to be all love and that can't happen until Damien is completely out of your life." he said as he reached up and caressed her cheek.
"So that's why you kept pulling away from me." she said.
"Ginny, you could never repulse me. You have no idea how hard it has been for me. I mean, the other day, in that towel, I almost gave in. I felt like just throwing you down on this couch and kissing you. I knew that if I ever started kissing you, I would not be able to stop and it would end up going too far, and right now I am feeling the same way." he said, smiling.
Ginny started blushing. She reached up and grabbed his hand that was on her cheek. Slowly she turned her head and gently kissed the palm of his hand. This sent a surge of electricity shooting through his entire body making him shiver.
"When did you become so wise?" she asked, kissing his palm again.
"Bloody hell." he growled.
He couldn't resist her any longer. He reached his arms around her and pulled her close to him. Their chests were pressed firmly together. They could feel each other breathing. Harry pushed a stray hair out of her face and kissed her deeply. Her lips were so soft, her skin like silk under his fingertips. When he finally pulled away, his body was on fire.
"That felt so good." Ginny said, running her tongue across her lips.
"Too good." Harry said, catching his breath.
"You make it sound like a bad thing." she said with a puzzled look on her face.
"It's not that. It's just, if we keep this up, I won't be able to stop." he said.
"And what's wrong with that?" she said, starting to get flustered.
"Like I said before, it's not the right time yet. When the right time comes, trust me, I won't hesitate." he said.
"Fine." she huffed as she got up and stormed out of the room. She knew that he was right but it was still extremely frustrating for her.
Harry sighed and thought to himself, "Time for a very cold shower."
