Chapter 10
"Ginny I think that I am in love! I cant stop thinking about him!" A tall blonde with amazing highlights, wearing a tight power-filled white suit, was standing next to her friend Ginny, gushing about the new "man" she had found and was currently explaining how he was the new man in her life, her new soul-mate.
"Oh? Who is it this time Lancy? Is it someone that we know?" Ginny looked at her and smiled briefly before she turned back her attention to Lancy.
"Yes I am sure that you know him! You and Hermione went to Hogwarts yes? Well then you defiantly know him! He's so courteous and such a gentleman, and I obviously cant forget how HOT he is!" Lancy giggled slightly, pausing for Ginny to signal for her to continue. Lancy always was such a drama queen.
"WELL? Who is it already?" Ginny playfully slapped Lancy's arm.
"Who else? It Draco Malfoy!" Hermione's head snapped in their direction. How could Lancy be in love with Draco? Draco and I have been together for a month now!
"Did we-were we-ever in a, a, a relationship?" I paused for Draco to answer, his face was contorted into a mixture of amusement and something that I couldn't put my finger onto.
Breathing a sigh of what seemed to be slightly of relief, Draco looked into my eyes and smiled. HOW could he smile at a time like this! This is serious! WHAT THE HELL! Damn smiling bastard….
"Actually we were in a relationship, and let me tell you, you were always all over me…seriously you couldn't keep your hands off me!" Draco's smiled morphed into a smug smirk. "I would have been annoyed cause you were always on me at every moment if it wasn't the fact that you were so good in some departments, if you know what I mean."
"SHUT UP! Shut up shut up shut up! Oh my god! I WOULD NEVER EVER be in any relationship with you!" I screamed back at him! How could I fall for a guy like that! What a freaking jerk! Plus the way he's acting it was probably him being all over me trying to get some action. What a loser, ha!
"Oh? Then what about before hmm? You were using me to get to your beloved Mr. Anderson weren't you not?" Draco grabbed my arm tightly and spun me around to face him. His face voided of emotion but his eyes burned me like fire.
"That-that was, um, well different?" I stammered, I felt like such a loser, cowering under his anger like this, but I didn't know what else to do. He had me there, I was using him.
"I'll do it." Draco released my arm. Wait…WHAT?
"Huh?" Oh yeah real smart Hermione. Nice.
"If you want to be with Mr. Anderson then fine I'll help you." Draco's voice rang loud and clear. "I know I am being selfish but this way at least I get to be with you, I can tell you know. That you don't have feelings for me anymore right now. Ginny and I thought that if you get any memories of us being in love with each other then your feelings will start to come back, and the best way to get them to come back is if we maybe be a couple again, even if its fake and even if it never comes back. It has been a long time, but I want you to know that I will always love you Hermione."
I stared at him in shock. What was happening! I just wanted to be with someone, mainly that someone being my incredibly hot boss. And how come he just changes emotions so fast like that? Its not we're in some sappy soap opera…or are we…? (The theme words from Days of Our Lives plays softly in the background.)
"The incident." I whispered, I must of lost my memory of my time with Draco when the potion exploded…I knew I shouldn't have added that bees wax…but I couldn't help it! It was the bees! They were calling me! Telling-no ordering me to put it in there…OMG I'm going crazy…!
"Actually right before the potion bombed on you, we actually broke-up. Funny though because if we didn't break-up we would have been gotten married a week later." Draco whispered and smiled at me sadly.
"That's right! I kind of remember that…I said that we shouldn't mix business with pleasure! Of course most things in that memory were super blurry, so I didn't or couldn't remember your face." I silently spoke to my self, trying to fit all those random bits and pieces of my memories together like a jigsaw puzzle. Also now that I think about it Draco's speech sounded so corny. I couldn't help myself: I snorted and it was loud, I sounded like a pig hahahahahhaa, oh right there are people around me. Draco stared at me curiously as to why I was currently snorting like a hyena and rolling around on the ground, yet again I forgot that there are people around.
"Hermione? Honey?" Draco held out a hand towards me and pulled me up. I had no idea that he was so strong! My arm felt like it was being pulled right out of its socket! Jeez, anger management…hey! Someone shredded the brand new pillow/cushion case that I just bought! WTF! It was super expensive! HOW COULD THEY! WHEN I GET AHOLD OF THAT PERSON I WILL HURT THEM SO BAD THAT THEY'LL COMMIT SUICIDE…and no I do not have issues, that I haven't worked through….
"Draco I think its best if you just leave and go back to work. I'll pack up some casserole for you so don't worry about lunch." Breathing in a huge sigh I ushered him out of the door. "I'll see you back at work…."
"What about Mr. Anderson and 'Operation Jealousy'?" Draco asked, smiling at me with a hint of laughter in his eyes.
"You named it? Already?" Man was I impressed, I would be more impressed if he wasn't some freak ex-boyfriend of mine whom I cant remember ever being with. All Draco did though was smile and leaned towards me. Inching his perfect face closer and closer to mine until our lips met and let me tell you I really felt like chocolate right there because I felt like melting.
Flashback
"Draco! Oh my god! Don't scare me like that! Jeez! What are you doing here in the office?" Hermione asked, giving Draco that smothering sexy look.
"Well honey I was concerned that you were working over-time too hard. I mean we are working on the same project and I left already." Draco leaned in slowly and nibbled on her ear making her giggle. He then proceeded to capture her lips with his making her knees weak and collapsing onto him like melted chocolate.
End flashback
I entered the building of my office before promptly bumping into Lancy, ew. She may have gorgeous hair and impeccable taste in clothing but man was she just UG O LEE! With a capital U! Hehehee man I'm a BIOTCH! Come on the girl had a HUGE, crooked freaking nose like some witch, a lazy eye AND she had really bad acne scars that make her look like she has holes everywhere on her face. Seriously I could probably pour drinks in those scars.
"Oh pardon me. I am so sorry I wasn't looking where I was going. You must be…Hermione right? Joshua talks so much about you!" Lancy held out her hand towards me elegantly. Stupid bimbo. Rolling my eyes I gripped her hand HARD making her wince slightly, ha take that slut! Wait who was Joshua?
"J-Joshua?" Why does that name sound so familiar? Where have I heard it before! Oh yeah now I remember its that dude from The World Ends With You! Man I love that game….
Giggling like a stupid blond (A/N I know I am stereotyping but it works for the story, its not my personal opinion) schoolgirl. "Oh silly, Joshua is your boss: Mr. Anderson! I am surprised that you didn't know that! Almost everyone who doesn't go for his good looks knows that!" Lancy placed her fingers against her lips and giggled once more. "Well if you excuse me I really must be leaving now, I hope to see you in the future." And with that she started walking away. What the hell did she mean that people who don't go for his good looks know his name! I do NOT go for his good looks or his sexy 6-pack or his luscious ass! No I do not! I go for his, his…um, hmm, oh! His leadership qualities! Yeah he is one heck of a leader…hahahaa man I almost couldn't say that with a straight face.
"Ah yes congrats on getting engaged." But she didn't hear me on the account of me whispering, and also possibly from that account that she had already left…how rude. But man was I shocked! I thought that I knew almost everything about Joshua Anderson but in fact I didn't know a thing. I couldn't believe it! I swear I saw all my hopes and dreams just crashing away. Although Joshua Anderson was one hell of a hot name.
I dropped the package of food that I packed up for Draco in front of him. "I hope you like it. I charmed it so its still nice and hot."
Man why was the room suddenly getting so warm? Oh oh it must just be the steamy goodness that is my casserole, I do make a good casserole. But man did I feel slightly dizzy.
"Thanks Hermione, so when are we starting Op Jealous?" Draco clasped his hands together and leaned back on his office chair.
"Huh? Oh the 'Operation Jealousy' um well about that…I don't want to do it anymore." I quietly said.
"WHAT! Why?" Draco jumped out of the chair and stared at me in shock. "Isn't Mr. Anderson 'your future husband' you even have your whole life planned out!"
I didn't want to tell him that I didn't want to continue with the operation for two reasons: 1, I didn't feel comfortable being a fake couple with Draco, especially with that last kiss…why did I let him kiss me anyways. And 2, well I didn't want to try to steal a man whom I didn't know anything about. So I did the only thing to stall…I took out a Twix bar to give my self a moment.
"What are you doing?" A voice from behind me entered the room, turns out the two people that I didn't want to see today were currently residing in my office…that I am currently sharing with Draco until this project is over.
"Oh Joshua! We were just taking a break for lunch. Care to join us? Hermione made this incredible casserole. 3 cheese and mushrooms!" Draco happily spoke while I tried using my tongue to pry all the caramel out of my teeth before I spoke. Great though, even Draco knew Mr. Anderson's first name…and I have been working her for 2 years!
I stood up to greet Mr. Ander- I mean Joshua when suddenly the room started spinning and my head started pounding like crazy. I felt like throwing up but I didn't want to throw up in front of Joshua or onto Draco's shiny shoes! What was happening to me! I have never been this sick at work before! Oh my god!
I could hear voices far away calling to me…wait what the hell? That was way too dramatic REWIND! Stupid author man, this is a romantic-comedy, not some heart-wrenching dramatic sob story jeez!
All I could see was the soft floor constructed of hardwood. Nice and comfy until that is when I fell…hard and you know what somehow I fell hard on my head…how was that possible? I was standing up I should have fallen on my knees or something…ah the weird laws of physics how you deceive us all.
