Life Goes On
Chapter 12
"I should get going" Draco said "Now that you have filled me to the brim with cookies and milk, I need to get home and digest", both laughed, they had been sitting on the floor in front of the TV with a plate of now finished cookies and two now empty glasses of milk Hermione fighting to keep her eyes open surprised at how much she was enjoying his company, he made her completely forget everything that was wrong in her life namely the frustration she felt regarding Ron, he made her remember the reasons why having a significant other was so great
"Yeah, its late and I might fall asleep if I stay up any longer" she said getting up, reaching to take the plate and glasses but Draco had been quicker he picked both up before walking to the kitchen and depositing them in the sink he then walked over to the door "thanks" walking over to stand by the door as well
"What for?" he asked
"Well just for being here, it was really nice to talk again you know" she said
"Yeah" he said "I won't lie, I missed talking to you too, even if you were a huge pain in the arse"
"I was not, you were the pain, stalking me all the time" she laughed running a hand through her hair bringing it all to rest on her right shoulder, mesmerized by the simple action Draco stared for a few seconds before snapping himself out of it
"Firstly I wasn't stalking you and secondly you weren't complaining" he said raising his eyebrows at her a smirk on his face
"Either way, you should leave now" she said looking down
"Why do you do that?"
"Do what?" she asked
"Do something to derail the subject or end the conversation when it's getting good" Draco said
"And there he is, I was sort of hoping that the ferret side of Draco Malfoy wouldn't make an appearance, but alas"
"Oh don't act like you don't like it" he said taking a step closer to her "You'll cave in, you'll come to realize that all the anger or whatever feelings you have are all just to cover up what you're really feeling: lust" he reached a hand up to caress her cheek "don't worry, I feel it too" her breathing became labored
"Malfoy-" she breathed out
"Shut up Granger" he said, before lifting her chin and closing the distance between them, as soon as she felt his lips on hers she couldn't help but moan, his hand slid to the back of her neck pulling her closer to him as he probed her lips apart with his tongue, bringing her hands to his chest as she allowed his tongue into her mouth enjoying the taste of cookies still there as it slid against hers, she bunched his shirt in her fists pulling him closer to her, as the kiss grew deeper they began to grope at each other, her hands now around his neck and his at her waist holding her close his fingers touching the warmth of her lower back under her sweat shirt, she sucked in breath at his cool touch, noticing the sudden stiffening in her body he pulled away giving her one last peck, he looked down at her, her eyes still closed and lips slightly parted
"I thought you were leaving" she whispered finally opening her eyes
"I would if you let go of my shirt" he said smirking at her longing to just kiss her again, looking down at her hands that were fisted in his shirt she let go quickly
"Sorry" she said, he removed his arms from around her waist reluctantly, she reached over and opened the door
"You have plans for tomorrow?" he asked
"Well I actually planned on staying in for the weekend, just me and a bunch of junk food"
"You want company?" he asked
"I don't know if that's a good idea" she said
"Scared I'll kiss you again?" he asked, not really looking for an answer as he strolled out of the apartment without another word.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you I would be out of the country during your birthday" Trevor said, he had called her the following morning, hearing his apology she realize that she hadn't even though about him since their first date, his being away since then didn't help much
"Oh, it's ok really" Hermione said shrugging her shoulders then leaning against the door she had just closed after being out to get some pizza
"Ok, well then we haven't had our second date yet, how about it?" he said
"Oh, um ok" she said "what did you have in mind?"
"How about a movie and dinner?" he asked, just as she was about to answer him there was a knock on the door
"Trevor can you just hold on for a sec" Hermione said into the phone before opening the door to find Draco standing there with a paper bag in hand and a smile on his face, she couldn't help the fluttering in her stomach at seeing him "um, can I call you back?"
"Yeah sure" Trevor said hanging up the phone
"What are you doing here?" she said to Draco
"Well I said I was coming back" he said walking past her into the apartment and to the kitchen counter to put down the bag he was carrying "and I'm hungry so we have to eat"
"And you couldn't eat alone?" she said closing the door and walking to where he was standing
"No" he said, taking out the contents of the bag which consisted of a few boxes of Chinese food
"You eat Chinese food?" she said putting the pizza box on the counter and looking into the paper bag and finding a tub of ice-cream "Oh you got ice cream, now you can stay" he walked further into the kitchen looking in the cupboards until he found plates and spoons
"Are you ok?" she asked him as he leaned against the counter just next to her
"Yeah" he said opening up the pizza box and grabbing a slice
"Why don't I believe you?" she said
"I just had a bad day" he said
"I need to change" she said "I'll be right back" she walked to her room and changed into a pair of sweat pants and a tank top, coming back out she found him sitting on the couch food spread out on the coffee table "I think I know what would make you feel better" she said walking into the kitchen
"What are you talking about Granger?" he said looking over to her, she came to the couch with two glasses and a bottle of vodka, he chuckled "ok maybe that will work"…
