I heard a tapping far off in the distance but I couldn't see what was causing the sound.

I thought to myself and began to walk towards where I thought it had been coming from.

The sound could not be placed and I became frustrated at not being able to find it.

It suddenly became louder and louder before I closed my eyes and tried to make it stop.

My eyes shot open and I bolted upright and peered out the window.

The tapping continued as I realized that the sound must've permeated into my dream.

I stood up out of bed and walked towards the door.

I placed my fingers onto the knob and twisted, pulling it open.

"I'm surprised you didn't come find me sooner."

"I couldn't get away."

"Girlfriend keeping you too busy?"

I smirked at him but I could tell he wasn't very pleased with my comment.

He closed the door before he reached out to grab me.

I slinked out of his grasp and crawled back into bed, pulling the covers over my body.

"So?"

He walked towards the window and stared outward as he sat down on the windowsill.

"So what?"

I smiled, "I know what you've been wanting to ask me."

"And?"

"So ask it."

He paused for a moment and continued to stare out the window, not looking at me. I couldn't help but notice that he looked incredible with the moonlight grazing his face.

"so how was it?"

"It was fine. We just talked for a while before we came back here and..."

He returned his gaze to me, "and what?"

"Nothing, really. We just kissed."

"Are you going out with him again?"

"If he asks me, sure."

He stood up and walked towards the bed, kicking off his shoes.

He climbed in beside me and rested his head on the pillow next to mine.

I turned onto my side and looked at him as I reached out and placed my hand onto his chin.

He laid in place as I ran my thumb across his mouth before I leaned forward and gently placed my lips on his.

"Maybe you should be leaving."

He pushed me onto my back before he climbed on top of me and rested his elbows on the pillow on either side of my head.

"And why's that?"

His movement caught me off guard as my breathing picked up at an incredible pace.

"Katie might notice you're missing."

"I always go back to my room."

"You mean once you're done with her?"

The smile was removed from his face and I felt bad for saying it.

I could see that he tried to brush off my comment but I could tell that I offended him slightly.

"I'm sorry."

He shook his head, "it's alright... but no, it's not like that. I just like to go back to mine. I don't like waking up in her room."

"Is it really that you don't like waking up in her room or is it that you don't like waking up with her?"

I grabbed his hand and placed it onto my chest as he looked down at my lips, "I don't know. Maybe both."

"Maybe."

"Maybe I should stay here for the night."

"I thought you just said you liked to wake up in yours."

"I might have said that. But I was thinking that maybe I could see if I like waking up here."

"With me."

"With you."

I smiled, "then maybe you should."

"Are you just about ready?"

I laughed, "seriously, Sarah, have some patience!"

I walked out of the washroom and slipped my shoes onto my feet before I followed her out of the door and down the stairs.

I found my heart skipped a beat as I saw Oliver speaking with George in the common room.

"Good morning, ladies!"

I smiled, "good morning, George. Good morning, Oliver."

He bit his lip, "good morning, Elena. Have a nice night?"

I tried my hardest not to smile as I thought of the night before and what it felt like to wake up next to him.

"Very good, thanks."

I was suddenly yanked away from them as Sarah pulled me out into the hall and towards the great hall.

"What's going on with you two?"

"What are you talking about?"

She grinned, "don't play dumb with me, Elena, I already know you better than that. What's happening between you and Oliver?"

"Nothing!"

She glared at me and wagged her finger, "be honest. I'll find out, you know I will."

"Alright, but I know that he hasn't told anyone and I promised not to tell anyone either so you have to keep your mouth shut."

"Can do!"

"Okay. Well, a few weeks ago Oliver kissed me."

"When?"

"Remember that night when the power went out? It was right after everyone went to bed. He pushed me up against the wall and kissed me."

"Hotness."

I laughed, "I know. And so for a couple weeks after that, and to be honest, up until this point we've been having secret rendezvous times together."

"Are you serious?"

I nodded my head. "In fact, we were almost caught by Katie in the lockerroom not long ago."

"And what about Rowan? Why'd you go out with him then?"

"It's complicated. He isn't breaking up with Katie and I'm still going to see Rowan."

"So in the meantime he'll just continue to cheat on his girlfriend? And you might just cheat on your potential boyfriend?"

"It's not like that."

"You're greatly mistaken if you think that it isn't... don't get me wrong, I can understand it, though. I know what it's like to want to be with someone but to feel like you can't. I get it."

"Alright."

"Really, I'm not mad or anything. I just think you two should be careful. You've only just started here and I don't want it to blow up in your face or something."

"Thanks. I'll try to be careful. Really."

"Dare."

I watched Sarah think for a moment as she placed her hand onto her forehead.

A lightbulb went off in her head as she clapped her hands together.

"Okay, Oliver, I dare you to kiss...Elena!"

I could feel my cheeks flush as I looked down at the floor by my feet.

I leaned back against the foot of the couch as I gazed across the circle at Katie.

I could see jealously behind her eyes as she tried to play it off as if it were nothing.

Oliver looked at Katie before he looked at me and nodded.

I stayed in place as he came towards me and kneeled in front of me.

I kept my hands down in my lap as he leaned forward and moved my hair away from my neck.

I felt my heart beating so fast as he closed the gap between us and moved his lips against mine.

It took everything in me not to moan into him as he moved back and bit my bottom lip.

I heard a cough beside me as Fred stared at the two of us.

"And I think that's enough for tonight. Everybody to bed!"

I giggled as I shook myself off and stood up from my place on the floor.

"Well, goodnight everyone."

I heard a few voices wishing me a good night back as I climbed up the stairs and closed the door behind me.

I gasped for air as I realized I had been holding my breath the whole way back.

I slowly pulled the door open and gazed down the hallway.

I walked towards the boys' dormitory and tried my best to remember which room belonged to him.

I took my chances and knocked as I stepped back as I waited for an answer.

The door was slowly pulled open and I couldn't help but think he looked adorable wiping the sleep from his eyes.

"What are you doing here?"

I slipped into his room and shut the door.

"I'm sorry. I just couldn't fall asleep and I had to see you."

He raised his eyebrows, "you had to?"

I laughed, "yes. Is that a problem?"

He placed his hands onto my arms, "of course not."

He guided me towards his bed as he laid me down beside him.

"So about that kiss that we shared..."

He smiled, "you mean that kiss we had in front of everyone?"

"Yes. That one... do you think people noticed?"

"I don't think so. You were quite indifferent."

"Was I?"

He smirked, "you didn't even kiss me back."

"Can you really blame me? Sarah already knows."

He looked worried, "did you tell her?"

"She was suspicious and contronted me about it."

"What did she say?"

"Just that she gets it. But to be careful. She doesn't want things to me bad for me and I appreciate her concern."

He leaned over me and kissed my neck.

"How can things be bad when they make me feel so good?"

I moaned at the feeling of his mouth on me.

I shot my arms up and grabbed onto his back as he bit my neck.

"Oliver."

"I wanna do bad things with you."
