The walk to the restaurant was silent and awkward. I kept wondering if Draco meant that he would go on his own or if he meant to come with us. Well, either way I'm glad he came, but he seems kind of tense. Ron had his back hunched and his fists were balled at his sides, Hermione was content that no one was fighting. Draco's arms were close to mine and I had the urge to grab his hand, but I refrained from it, knowing what happened last night and how Ron might react, I don't need to start a war. Last night I thought I heard Draco say that we will be kissing again or something like that. I wonder if that was true or just my dreams messing with me. I was shaken out of my thoughts by Hermione announcing that we were at the restaurant. The outside looked like a log cabin. There were big windows to let in the sunlight and there were some flowers lining the walk way that led into the restaurant. We walked in it was bright and spacious, there were wooden tables scattered throughout the place and it wasn't very crowded. It had wooden floors and they glowed in the morning light. It was nice and cozy in here, which made me wonder if Draco would like it. I would have thought that he would be used to big and extravagant, there's only one way to find out though.
The waiter took us to our table and we sat by a window that you could see a meadow from. The meadow was lush and green with many wild flowers scattered across it's carpeted floor. Draco sat on my left and Ron sat on my right, and Draco was by Hermione.
"Oh, wow everything looks so good," Hermione said scanning her menu. I met her and her eyes pleaded with me to help cut the tension. She smiled at me, but it was a little stiff and her eyes kept flicking back and forth from Draco and Ron.
"Your right Hermione," I said trying to follow Hermione's example, lets just say I failed miserably.
"What are you going to have to eat Harry?" Draco asked eyeing my menu. He didn't notice Hermione and Ron staring at him. Apparently they haven't heard him call me by my name. At least I know I am not the only one to be shocked by this.
"What did you call him?" Ron asked eyeing Draco suspiciously. His left eyebrow rose a little and his eyes narrowed. I readied myself for anything that might happen and to my surprise nothing did.
"I called him Harry." Draco replied cooly setting down his menu on the table.
"Why?"
"Because that's him name."
"I mean why aren't you calling him Potter or something like that?" Ron shifted in his seat trying to assess what was happening. Hermione looked hopeful with the way the things were going.
"I started calling him Harry because," Draco turned his silvery gaze toward me and I felt a shiver run up my spine, "I like him." he said with a straight face and I couldn't help, but stare and I think my chin hit the table. He what?!
Ron echoed my same thoughts. "You what?"
Draco looked him in the eye and said. "I like him."
Hermione was ready to squeal and say I told you it would work out. Ron was speechless all the rage and anger that he had been feeling drained from his face and he deflated before my eyes. He sunk in his seat and stared at his glass with a blank stare. Maybe that was to much for him to take in at once. I kind of want to do what he did. My mind was running a race and it wont slow down to let what Draco said in sink. I finally found my voice and forgot that we had an audience.
"You really do?" I asked raising my eyes to meet Draco's. He smiled a blinding smile that made my heart skip a beat.
"I do." Draco's pale hand reached and out caressed my cheek. My cheeks warmed under his touch and started to burn when I caught Hermione's dreamy eyes and Ron's confused stare. My daydream was broken when the waiter came to take our order. Hermione had to order for Ron, he was still too stunned to react to anything.
I ate my food in a daze, not really tasting anything, but I'm sure the food was good. At least according to the sounds I was hearing coming from everyone while they ate. Draco was making those sounds too and it was distracting the way he ate. He would take the time to savor the food and the faces he made where ones of true pleasure. And it was messing with my brain way more than I would like to admit. He was on his fruit and they must have really juicy because when he bit into a peach some juice slid down his chin and his pink tongue darted out to lick the juices that were escaping and it was very fascinating to watch. The way his tongue came out and... I bet he would taste really good right now.
"Harry," Hermione yelled.
"What?" I shook my head to help clear my thoughts.
"I was asking what are you going to do today?"
I looked at Draco, he continued to eat and he smirked. Oh, Merlin! He probably caught me staring and I haven't even told him that I like him. How could I have not noticed? I was so absorbed in my own thoughts. I'm going to have to think of a time to do it, the right moment. When can that be?
"Harry!" Hermione yelled again. Her eyes were burning holes in my head.
"What? Sorry."
"I was saying you can spend the day with us. You and Draco of course."
"I...uh...,"
"We would love that," Draco said setting aside the bowl that had contained the fruits. I missed the show.
"Great, right Ron?" Hermione elbowed Ron in the side and he finally snapped out of his shock.
"Right." he still looked a little out of it, but he looked like he was doing fine.
"We are going to walk around town," Hermione said.
"That sound great. How about we meet you in front of here at noon and go from there? I have to go back to the hotel and grab something." Draco said with a mysterious glint in his eye. I must be seeing things.
"Okay, see you in a two hours."
We split the bill and Draco grabbed my hand and led me out of the restaurant taking me Merlin know's where.
Yay! Chapter 11 is done
