A/N: Two weeks!
I know and I apologize for my absence. That's because well, I injured my hand and had no internet for weeks *uggh* and I was busy with other things such as my case studies.
Anyways, I managed to write this much and mind you, it's pretty short. A longer and a better chapter is promised for the next time.
Oh and a huge hug to all those who favorited, followed and reviewed this story! It's the only way I get motivated to write so please do continue to give me your responses!
And here it goes!
I felt my breath hitch as his palm felt rough palm against the bare skin of my stomach, underneath which a couple of butterflies flew as he kissed along the column of my neck.
The night had been amazing; it had just been the two of us.
"Hermione," He breathlessly whispered into my ear as his hand travelled upwards to cup my breast. "You- you're so beautiful."
I felt my lips curling into a huge smile as I threaded my fingers into his baby soft blonde hair and lifted his face to meet his eyes.
His beautiful mercuric eyes.
"I'm not- I'm not beautiful," I said flushing pink. "I-"
"No," He stopped me with a soft whisper and cupped my cheek. "I've always found you beautiful." He further said placing a kiss on my forehead. "All the hatred and name calling was for show."
I shook my head and blushed like a little girl. "Draco, I-"
"Shh," he placed a finger on my lips, causing me to look back into his hypnotic eyes. "Let me show you how beautiful you are to me."
With that his soft lips fell on mine, and I couldn't complain but allow him to take me to seventh heaven and very soon, I could hear him whispering my name like a mantra.
"Hermione, Hermione, Hermione-" He kept saying while peppering my glistening skin with kisses while I moaned in pleasure. "Mama-"
Mama?! Why would he-
"Mama!"
Hermione unwillingly opened her eyes only two find her eighteen month old goddaughter lying on top of her and giving her a huge grin. The little girl squealed and placed a kiss on Hermione's nose before snuggling into her warm embrace.
"Mama," Gina whispered against her neck, to which the brunette replied by placing a kiss on her head. "Mama, me lovey you."
Hermione laughed at the little squirt as she sat up and cradled the girl in her arms. Gina had picked up some words from that hideous, purple dinosaur show and had been repeating them ever since.
"I love you too Gina," the brunette whispered when she heard footsteps approaching towards her room.
"Gina!" Hermione heard Draco call out before his head was popped into her room. "Oh, she's here." He further said with a smile.
"Yeah, she just came to wish me good morning," Hermione said with a nervous laugh, averting her eyes away from the handsome blonde who had now entered her room. The brunette tried her best to fight away his dashing looks and toned pectorals after the dreams in which-
Oh my goodness, since when have I started to see a shirtless Malfoy in my dreams? She asked herself as Draco sat on the foot of her bed. Maybe after I ran into his room when he was in his naked glory-
"Dada!" Gina exclaimed and jumped away from Hermione into Draco's arms. The blonde smothered the toddler with kisses and tickled her mercilessly, bringing a huge smile on the brunette's face.
Draco would truly make an amazing father to their children.
Her eyes widened as she saw Gina placing a kiss on Draco's cheek and the duo laughed before looking back at her. The little girl grinned at Hermione before looking back at her godfather.
"Dada kissy mama!" She exclaimed, oblivious to the look Hermione and Draco exchanged. "KISSY!" she further exclaimed.
"Um Gina," Draco said, grabbling the attention of the toddler. "Mama and I don't love each other," He looked at a very awkward Hermione. "Right?"
"Mama lovey daddy!" Gina giggled, causing Hermione to turn beet red and ignore the wide-eyes Draco was giving her.
"Gina, daddy and I-" Hermione started to coo when Gina gently took her hand and placed into her godfather's. "Gina-"
"Kissy!" The toddler exclaimed while the adults exchanged a helpless look and then looked back at the girl.
Draco looked at their hands and then at the woman sitting in front of him. They had held hands in some situations and he had always felt secure in doing so. However today when Gina forced them to, it felt different.
He truly understood the meaning of fancying the beautiful woman in front of him.
Her face bore no make-up, but only her freckles which were showered under her eyes, her pale skin glistening under the sunlight, her curly mane ties into a messy braid and her eyes; her beautiful chocolate eyes looking quite uncertainly at him.
Why did he ever deny his feelings for Hermione Granger two years ago? They could've been married by now, if Merlin ever wanted them together!
"Draco," Her voice caught his attention. "I think-"
"Let's kiss," Draco cut her off abruptly, earning a surprised look from her. "I mean-"
"I was about to suggest the same," Hermione said with a smile and looked at a very excited Gina. "After all, we've done so much for this little one and I'm sure we can do this as well. It will just be a peck," she smiled shyly. And if you want us to continue, I wouldn't mind, she further continued in her mind.
The blonde smiled and scooted closer to cup her cheek. Their eyes met before they smiled and leaned in for a kiss. Draco paused before their lips met and looked into her eyes. "Just a peck," he murmured before placing his lips softly on top of hers.
Hermione gave out a small gasp at the contact when she realized that Draco wasn't just giving her a peck, but a proper morning kiss. For a moment her heart stopped to decide whether to kiss him back or not. His minty lips were inviting her to trust her instincts and to be with him, Hermione could feel that. Listening to her heart, she placed her hands on his chest, she responded, giving him a message that she was his to have.
Draco broke away and rested their foreheads together, as a huge smile curled on his lips. He heard Gina squealing in joy next to him and then Hermione, who gave out a small laugh.
"You're an amazing kisser Granger," He murmured softly, before placing another kiss on her lips. "Why do I never get the courage to tell what I feel about you?"
The brunette smiled as he placed their foreheads against each other's. "What do you feel about me?" she asked softly. "You know you can tell me, I won't punch you."
Draco laughed and all he did was to pour out whatever he had been keeping shut for Merlin knows when.
"You know, I was glad that Ginny set me up with you for a blind date three years ago." He started. "I wanted to make up for the mistakes I made, however I turned up being an arse-"
"As always," Hermione cut him off with a smile.
Draco chuckled and nodded. "As always," he agreed. "Anyways, I though what I felt for you was just a school crush because I found you agitating and annoying," she laughed. "Hey! I still do alright! It's just that, I realized that I was doing all the nonsense at Hogwarts just to grab your attention." He took her free hand and entwined their fingers together. "Okay, I admit that I've fancying you for a long time Hermione, and I kept denying it. "
"And for these past, I don't know how many months I have started to feel something more for you. That day when my mother passed away, I slept with that bimbo because I was feeling so lonely, I knew you wouldn't have liked it if I burdened you with my problems-"
"Draco, I wouldn't have minded," Hermione cut him off softly. "You know I wouldn't have minded. If you would've kissed me way earlier than that day maybe," she paused and closed her eyes. "Maybe, we could've been together today and not for Gina's sake," She smiled at the giggling toddler. "Because both of us wanted to."
Draco smiled widely before leaning in to place another kiss on Hermione's lips. Allowing him to ask her out was the last thing he had expected Hermione to do. However, Draco promised to himself to show Hermione the world he had planned for her. He was looking forward to spend the rest of his coming days with her and Gina.
Nothing else mattered.
Hermione broke off when she felt Gina crawling into her lap. Laughing at the giggling toddler, she placed a kiss on her head. "Why don't we go for a picnic today?" Hermione suggested. "Just the three of us?"
Draco gave a smile and nodded while Gina squealed in joy. "Yeah, we've never been out for a family outing so why not?" He said with a smile, earning a huge grin from the two girls sitting in front of him.
Draco knew what Hermione was thinking; she liked the sound of 'family' as much as he did.
A/N: So that's it for now, they have taken a tiny step together! :)
