Chapter 10: A First Night

It was pretty cold in the car. Cedric saw how Cho shivered sometimes and he tried to hold her as close as possible to warm her. Though, he was careful. He had no idea if Cho's mother knew of him being her daughter's boyfriend, or if Cho wanted her mother to know. So he just held her as a friend. Sometimes he squeezed her waist softly though, as a sign it was all okay. He studied her lips, wanted to kiss her. He had suddenly so many things to say but did not dare to break the fragile silence in the car. Cho seemed not at ease while driving to her parent's house and cuddled close against him. Cedric smiled softly while taking one of her hands in his and he pressed a little kiss on it, he just couldn't resist.

Her mother didn't notice how her daughter laid one leg over his knee and crawled a little on his lap. He dared to kiss her softly, making no sound. It was exciting, they both seemed to feel that they could get caught but it gave Cedric quite a rush, how he kissed Cho while her mother focused on the road. Deepening the kiss, he rubbed his hands slowly over her back and Cho smiled daring, pressing one knee between his legs for only a single moment.

Then she fell back on her place and they both chuckled. Cho's mother stared over her shoulder at the two teenagers, and smiled a little unknowing, like she suspected something but wasn't quite sure what.

As they arrived at the house it seemed to be empty. Cho muttered softly and held Cedrics hand while walking to the front door.

'Where's dad?' she dared to ask.

'Working.' A short answer sounded from her mother and the little girl gazed down. Cedric watched the woman a little angry. Why did she upset her daughter like this?

That evening Cedric dragged his suitcase upstairs to Cho's bedroom. She was already there and looked around through her old chamber. He put down his stuff and approached the girl, who seemed to have quite a hard time and he took her hands, standing behind her and kissing her neck.

'Are you alright?' he whispered.

She was silent for a moment, leaned the back of her head against his shoulder and he placed this little tender kiss on her lips. She smiled.

'I'm okay.'

He turned around so she faced him and sat down on the bed, holding her hands and pulled her down on his lap.

'Shall I just stay here tonight?' he muttered.

'Where else would you go?' she asked almost panicking and he felt how her grip tightened. Softly Cedric placed a kiss on her forehead to calm her down.

'I don't know, I thought maybe your mother wouldn't agree on us sleeping in one room. But I won't go baby.'

'Like she cares.' Cho huffed and she looked at her bed. 'Will you just… sleep here, in this bed? We never did that before, only when we kissed for the first time.'

He smiled softly, a little teasing.

'Well, then we did sleep in one bed, not?'

'Yes…' she whined. 'But I mean that was the hospital wing, and we were just together and you didn't even lay under the blankets with me but on top of them. And I needed to go before you woke up.'

Cedric chuckled, stroking her hair and shook his head grinning. Silly, silly girl. Like he wouldn't love to sleep next to her. For both it was somehow exciting, even though probably nothing would happen.

'Off course I'll sleep here.' He muttered. 'I will search my PJ's for a moment.'

'Can't you just…' Cho started but she quickly gazed away and petted her fingers on the bed, nervously.

'What?' Cedric smiled friendly, even though he knew what she wanted to ask.

'Well, just… without your… shirt?' she giggled.

Cedric lifted his eyebrows teasing but then he daring opened his blouse and took it off, wearing no tie today and he grinned at her.

'Like this?'

She blushed madly and he had to chuckle, walking towards her and holding her closely. She nodded a little against his bare chin.

'Yes… like that.'

She hopped through the room and ended up at his suitcase, digging in it and pulled a clean shirt out. Her innocent smile betrayed her.

'Can I…?'

Cedric rolled his eyes and wiggled his eyebrows.

'You can, Miss Chang.'

She giggled once again while she stepped out of her jeans. He never watched her changing and looked a little insecure to the door, wondering if he should go.

'Cho?'

She looked up, her hands lingering at the third button of her blouse and she smiled. He opened his mouth to ask if he had to leave her for a moment. She didn't seem bothered by his presence though.

'What is it, Ceddy?' she muttered sweet and he ran his fingers through his hair.

'Do you want to… change your clothes… in private, or can I stay? I don't know what you prefer…'

She smiled a little shy, walked towards him and he felt how her lips pressed softly on his chest.

'You can stay.'

He nodded softly, his lips brushing over her forehead for a moment before she broke away from him and continued with unbuttoning her blouse.

He didn't know where to look, what to do so in the end he just laid down on the bed and watched her, how her beautiful body got exposed when she dropped her blouse on the ground and he swallowed a little.

'You're alright Cedric?' she asked when she saw him looking almost gasping for breath and he nodded a little, laid back in the pillows and sighed gently. She sat down on the bed as well, only in her underwear and she pressed her hand softly on his chest.

'I never thought you would actually be shy about this stuff.' She muttered softly while she laid her cheek on his bare skin as well. His heartbeat fastened and he took a deep breath, smiling a little boyish.

'I'm not shy.' He said while stroking through her hair, moving a little so he was able to feel more of her bare skin.

'Then why do you look like you can faint any moment?' she just asked.

'You stunned me.' He replied gently, running his fingers carefully over her spine and felt how she moved herself, laying her foot on his leg and he trembled. She did the same.

'Quite…exciting, isn't it?' she muttered while he enjoyed the trail of kisses she placed on his jawline.

'Quite…' he muttered and he pulled her up gently, so his lips were able to touch his and suddenly she crawled on top of him, her bare skin touching his. Little electric shocks moved through his body from any point she touched him.

Cedric kissed Cho, deeply and passionate his tongue stroking over her lips once in a while. She was the one who opened them first and he took her hands, exploring carefully. They laid there on the bed for a while, before he dared to touch her a little more. She was just so beautiful and appealing and he trembled. His fingers ran up and down her spine, touching the lock of her bra but he stopped there, smiling softly and breaking the kiss. He felt how she twitched when he touched the lock. It wasn't the time to continue.

'It's okay…' he softly said and he pulled her down on his chest. She laid there a little heavy breathing and he was quite sure she could feel him. But she didn't seem to be bothered by it and kissed his shoulder.

'I love you…' she muttered and she stroked through his hair comforting.

'I love you to, Cho Chang.' Cedric replied and kissed her forehead, pulling the blankets over them both. 'You want to put on the shirt?'

'No…'she yawned softly. 'It's perfect like this.'
