Chapter Ten: Mixed Messages
Jezzy rolled over in bed and hit a solid wall of man. She smiled to herself and then realized she wasn't in her room. She sat up and looked around. His room had been very dark last night and she had been a little... busy at the time. She stretched and groaned. He grabbed her and pulled her close.
"You're awfully loud when you stretch." She smiled and kissed his arm.
"I'm hungry." She whispered.
She felt him laugh. "We did work up quite an appetite this morning."
"And last night." He laughed again.
"I could have a house elf bring something in."
"No, I need to get up anyway. I haven't been working out."
"You don't need to work out."
She smiled and kissed his shoulder.
"I don't look like this because I sit on my ass all the time. I'll just go do a couple of laps in the pool."
It turned into an hour and a half of laps. She started to get
tired midway through and pushed herself as long as she could. She swallowed a bunch of water and came up sputtering. That's when she decided to get out. Draco was standing at the edge of the pool with a towel for her.
"You're going to kill yourself one of these days." He commented.
She smiled and took the towel. "What?" She asked innocently.
"Do you realize how long you were in there?"
She shrugged. "I'm out aren't I?"
He rolled his eyes.
"Where were you last night?"
She stopped drying her hair. "Uh..."
"Where is 'Uh'?"
She slapped at him and walked away.
"You didn't answer my question!" He yelled after her.
She ignored him and went to the kitchen. Lucius was instructing a house elf on what he wanted for dinner that night when she walked in. He stopped and smiled at her.
"That is all." He said to the house elf, dismissing it.
She walked up to him, undid her towel and cocked an eyebrow.
"You're mean." He whispered.
She was just about to step up on her tip toes to kiss him when to door to the kitchen opened. Draco stopped in his tracks. All he saw was Jezzy standing in front of his father, looking up at him and him smiling down at her. They both looked at Draco, smiles still plastered on their faces.
"What?" He asked, completely oblivious to the situation.
"Your father was just telling me a joke." Jezzy said.
"My dad doesn't tell jokes." Draco scoffed.
"On the contrary son."
"What was it then?" He folded his arms and cocked his hip.
"What do you call a Hufflepuff with two brain cells?"
Lucius asked.
Draco shrugged.
"Pregnant."
Jezzy busted out laughing and Draco's jaw dropped. I was actually funny. He laughed and shook his head.
Lucius smirked. "Did you need something?"
"Yeah, actually. I was going to ask about throwing a back to school party. Here at the Manor."
"Fine."
"OO, I could sing!" Jezzy clapped her hands and jumped up and down, making her breasts bounce.
Both Draco and Lucius stared at them. When she saw this she rolled her eyes.
"I'm up here."
Lucius and Draco gave her twin smirks. She rolled her eyes again and left the kitchen.
She went up to her room to change her clothes and decided to invite Maria to the party Draco was planning. She pulled out a quill and parchment and wrote out a quick invitation. At the end she asked if Maria could sing. She needed a partner for the song she had in mind. She sent off the letter with the Malfoy's owl and took a shower. When she was totally dressed she noticed that the owl had returned. She opened the reply and read it.
Jezzy,
I'm so glad you got my letter. And yes, I would love to come, when is it? I can sing. What were you planning? Let me know!
Maria
She realized she had no idea when it was and went to go find Draco. He was in his room.
"Hey, when's the party?"
"Friday."
"Cool. Me and Maria are going to sing for you."
He cocked an eyebrow. "Aw, for me."
Jezzy smirked and left the room. She wrote back Maria and told her everything, then asked her to come over tomorrow to practice. Maria said she would. Great, now everything was in order for a kick ass party.
Friday night, before the guests arrived, Jezzy and Maria were helping the band set up. Maria had turned out to have a really good voice. Blaise was helping Draco set up the bar and Lucius had decided to read in the dungeon.
Jezzy told him that was boring. He had smiled, kissed her and told her that he would rather be locked up then around a bunch of drunk teenagers. She had pouted and reminded him that she was going to be there and she was eighteen. He had kissed her deeply and asked her not to drink too much this time. Jezzy blushed and promised she wouldn't.
Maria had developed an instant crush on Draco and asked all kinds of questions about him. Jezzy had finally introduced them, without being drunk this time, and they seemed to like each other.
They had decided to do a duet together, Jezzy and Maria. Once the guests started to show up they set the DJ to work until they were ready to go on. Once everyone was there, or most were anyway, Jezzy whispered to the DJ that they were going to perform next. He nodded and after the last song was over, he introduced them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to put your hands together for Jezzy and Maria! These two lovely ladies are going to perform a hot song for you tonight. So give it up!"
Everyone clapped and Jezzy and Maria walked on stage. The music started and they began to sing and dance to Rockstar, by Prima J:

Why don't you take a picture? It'll last longer
The crowd went nuts. They were a hit. They walked off the stage and the DJ started another great song. Draco and Blaise walked up to the both of them and Draco grabbed Jezzy around the waist and spun her around. She squealed and slapped his arm.
"Put me down."
He did and kissed her cheek. She could smell the Fire Whiskey on his breath. Maria frowned at her and pulled her off to the side.
"Are you with Draco?"
Jezzy laughed. "Hardly. I'm seeing someone much... better." She said with a cocked eyebrow.
Maria laughed. They went off and got a couple of drinks. After she grabbed one from Maria, she sipped it, remembering her promise to Lucius. Her boyfriend. It was still so weird.
"Why aren't you drinking?" Maria asked.
"I am."
"Hardly."
"I promised I wouldn't."
"Oh, you're boyfriend?"
Jezzy blushed and nodded.
"So where is he?"
"Uh, around." She said vaguely.
"Well, can I meet him."
"He's not really a 'people' person."
Maria shrugged and said she was going to go find a boyfriend for the night. Jezzy laughed and sipped her drink again. She made her way upstairs to her room to change her shoes because her feet were hurting her and as she passed Draco's door he came out. He smiled drunkenly at her and grabbed her arm. She started to protest but he dragged her forcefully into his room.
"Draco let go!"
He didn't listen and spun her around, crashing his lips painfully against hers. She pushed him away and he started to lean to the right. Clearly he was hammered.
"Draco, you should go back downstairs and enjoy the party."
"I want you."
"Well, you can't have me." She said.
"Why not?" He slurred.
"It's just a 'no' Draco. It's not going to kill you."
Suddenly he threw her down on the floor and fell on top of her.
"Goddamnit. Draco get off!"
He tried to smirk at her but it turned into a silly grin. He reached for the zipper of his pants and tried as hard as he could to pull it down. She wiggled, trying to get out from underneath and he chuckled.
"You're just making things worse."
"Well, get off me then."
"No, we're gonna... do that thing."
"What thing?" She asked hoping he would forget what he was doing.
He put his head down on her shoulder so he could think, but he didn't come back up.
"Draco?" Jezzy started to laugh.
He had just passed out on her.
