Chapter 26:
"Right Where You Want Me" – Jesse McCartney
I think I'm in love with Oliver Wood… shocking, I know.
I don't even know when I began to fall for him and I can't believe I'm in love with him. I'm showing all the crazy symptoms!
For example, whenever I see him I just get tongue-tied and dazed and he's like the only one I see when seeing him in the hallways. I say the stupidest things to him when he's talking/yelling at me and I get insanely jealous seeing Vivian by his because I don't know what but I feel like I belong there! I've known Wood for six years and she just randomly gets to be his girlfriend! That's just absurd!
And you know what annoys the hell out of me? He most likely doesn't feel the same way with me. I have this gut feeling he doesn't because well he fancies Vivian!
It's so awkward, because sometimes Vivian makes an attempt to have a conversation with me but I always try to act like I'm busy. Yin told she wants to be friends with me but I can't be friends with her because just seeing her I feel so guilty! For Merlin's sake, I dream about ripping off her boyfriend's shirt!
Normally I don't really care about the girl's feelings but I guess its because I sort of know Vivian that I feel bad but ugh, its so annoying. I'm in this stupid shit hole and I need to get out of it or at least tell someone. I can't tell Yin or Noelle because they'll probably think I'm insane and I can't tell Justin because he'll say 'I told you so'.
Although I think about how some people told me about Wood liking me back but I just don't know. Ugh, I hate being in love. Being in love brought a whole lot of responsibility,which I don't think I'm capable of handling. I feel so weak and I didn't like it at all. It's so confusing all of this.
"I think something is seriously wrong with you," Noelle said to me during breakfast.
I looked at her puzzled. "Why do you think that?"
"You're not eating. Last night you couldn't sleep. Yin, we need to take her to Madame Pomfrey immediately!"
"You're right!" Yin looked over at me wide-eyed. What the hell is that? I've never seen an empty plate in front of you! Oh shit, is everything all right?" she asked concerned.
I let out a cough. "Um, yeah. I was just thinking,"
Yin and Noelle both gasped in shock and Noelle leaned over and slapped me.
I looked at her stunned. "What the fuck was that for you bitch?"
"I'm trying to bring you back to your senses. Seriously Irina, you're scaring us. What's going on?"
"Nothing. I just…" I was hesitant to tell them. I looked around and then I saw Wood with Vivian sitting next to him. Her head was on his shoulder and they were looking through a Quidditch magazine.
"Oh Merlin," I heard Yin say. "You finally realized it didn't you,"
"Realized what?"
"You like Wood," Oh shit.
"How did you know?"
"Bitch, you just admitted it," Noelle said with a smirk.
"Oh Merlin, will guys shut up? Let's talk about it outside," I said and quickly stood up. I grabbed a couple of croissants and toast and a cup of orange juice and headed outside.
I took a bite of my toast and looked at Yin and Noelle. They were grinning insanely.
"So tell us, when did you realize it?"
"I don't know, I just woke up one morning and realized I liked him,"
"Well what are you going to do? He's going out with Vivian," Yin said.
"I know, so that's why I'm not going to do anything,"
"You must really like him, you're not even going to attempt to break them apart," Noelle said looking at me.
I nibbled on my toast. I don't know what I was doing to myself. "No, I'm not although I really want to I sort of want to change for him, you know so he'll come rushing to me but I really need your help because I have no idea what to do. By the way, how'd you two know I fancied him?"
"You're always annoying him and there's always some sort of chemistry between you two. I have no idea why he's going out with Vivian because we seriously thought he had fancied you too. But I guess not," Yin said with a frown. "Because of stupid Oliver I owe Jenna money,"
"Why didn't you guys tell me before? And you betted on me?"
"We didn't tell you because you would deny it," Noelle said. "But it was always there. You know its sexy, you two because you can't really be together since there's that 'No dating between team members' rule, but you can have a secret relationship, ask Yin for advice. She knows all about forbidden relationships," Noelle looked over at Yin who was blushing.
"Oh shut up! Oliver's so paranoid isn't he? I mean we can't date other people from other houses because we're enemies on the pitch. It sucks though because Xavier is nothing like that,"
"I would love to have a forbidden relationship actually," I said with a smirk. "The thrill of getting caught any moment. I'm just getting turned on by thinking about it,"
Noelle began to laugh. "Sluuuuuuuut," she said.
I grinned at her. "Thanks. You two can't peep a word or I will not be afraid to use my powers against you guys,"
They both pretended to lock their lips and threw out the keys. "Not a word. But if you don't make a move on him soon then we'll have to spill," Noelle said.
"Oh gosh, I feel sort of bad for Vivian though," Yin muttered sadly. "But I guess it's for the best. I mean, honestly we all know they wouldn't last,"
"You know, it feels good letting you guys know. I thought I was going to go mad from thinking about it on my own you know," I told them.
"You're already mad," they both said in harmony.
I laughed. "Ha-ha, true."
This was the worst day ever to play a game. The game should have been cancelled but stupid blokes would rather risk their lives than pride.
It was raining, heavily and thunder was roaring insanely, that it was just silly. Lee Jordan was making the usual introductions and some announcements when Wood turned around to give us his team speech.
Before he could begin Fred said, "Oliver, would ya give it a rest? We know what to do. We either die trying or die trying to escape your wrath,"
Wood looked at us sort of sad but determined, if it was possible to look like that. "Okay, well since Fred's took the words out of my mouth there's not much for me to say, but this is the real deal. This game against the Slytherins is the biggest one of all. Win for me, the team, our house and most of all our pride,"
"Quit being so dramatic Wood," I said to him annoyed. "Damn it, it's not like we're going to lose on purpose. Have some faith in us yeah?"
"You're calling me dramatic? Look who's talking,"
"It's so annoying how you-"
"Are you two seriously fighting right now? I'm going to go mad because of you two!" she angrily exclaimed cutting me off.
"Look what you've done Labelle," Oliver said looking at me pissed. "We were nervous to start with and now you've gotten us angry. Seriously, can't you be reasonable?"
"Reasonable? You know what, this conversation can go fuck itself, and you should join it too," I said and stomped my way back to the lockers.
"WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING?" Wood asked shouting at me.
"I'M NOT PLAYING!"
"Oh shit. Shit," I heard Katie mumble and she ran to grab my hand. "Please Irina. Don't do this now! We need you! Don't be so stubborn; I can't really play without you there because you're so confident it keeps me confident. Please Irina? You're part of the team and the team needs you!"
I looked into her eyes and she seemed desperate. I heaved a sigh and walked back to the front. Wood gave me a frown and he shook his head. "You're so difficult," he muttered.
These are the moments where I don't know why I'm in love with Wood.
"AND GRYFFINDOR! WOOOOOOOO!"
"That's our cue!" Wood exclaimed and we walked out the pitch.
In just a matter of two minutes I was soaking wet. That's how bad it was but none the less our fans were screaming their heads off. Why, it felt like such a wonderful and sunny day! (Note my sarcasm)
I sat on my broom, every few seconds wiping away water from my eyelids. We've had practice in the rain but today was probably the one of the worst days ever. I was squeezing out water from my ponytail when I saw a glimmer of the snitch. I quickly flew after it.
"AND LABELLE IS OFF!" Jordan's voice shouted. I flew so fast I dodged two bludgers. I sped my way and was so close to the snitch almost and arm length when I felt this was too easy. Something was strange.
The snitch had all of a sudden flown toward me. It fluttered around me and when I was about to grab it, it had fucking…
blow up in my face.
Thank goodness I had a good grip on my broom or I would have fallen all the way to the ground in a second. Smoke had entered my nostrils and I began to cough.
What. The. Fuck.
I waved the smoke away and got pissed. Who in the world is jinxing me!
Only one name came to mind and it was Marie. I tried looking for her face in the crowd when I saw Seth Williams, Slytherin's seeker make a move. I rushed to his side and saw the real snitch. It flew underneath the bleachers and Seth and I began trying to push each other off our brooms.
"Damn it Williams! Fuck off!"
"Oh fuck you Labelle! I need to win this!"
"Don't we both need to? Wood's going to fucking kill me if I don't win!"
"So? If you just sleep with him I'm sure it'll make it all better! Isn't that how you get with the teachers? Although I wonder what you do with the female ones! Some lesbian action huh?"
I was so shocked I almost flew into a pole. "EXCUSE ME? WHERE ARE YOU HEARING THAT BULLSHIT? I DO NOT SLEEP WITH THE TEACHERS!"
HE smirked at me and then flew back out into the pitch. Oh fuck. He was trying to distract me! I fell for the oldest trick in the book! I'm losing it; I'm just fucking losing it!
I flew right behind him, trying to speed up and with all my might I pushed him. I wasn't minding the weather now, since no one could actually see us through the rain. "You filthy piece of shit!" I screamed at him.
"Coming from the girl who sleeps with everyone!" he hollered back.
I let out a long scream of frustration and then began breathing heavily. Come on Irina, control yourself, just win the fucking game and then go and find whoever was spreading that shitty rumour and brutally murder them!
The snitch made a sudden turn to the left and I made a swerve. A bludger unexpectedly hit Williams' broom slowing him down and I looked over to where it came from. I grinned at the Weasley twins. Always can count on them for having my back.
I dashed after the snitch and it was only a couple of centimetres away and I grabbed it!
I stared at it happily and was about to raise it up in the air when a bludger hit me straight on the back of my head.
I was falling down fast and I could see everyone on the bleacher's flashing by. Damn it, I always fall, you'd think I'd learn how to get a good grip on my broom! I waited for the impact of the ground, feeling all the air make its way into my head making me almost unconscious when I felt someone grab onto my waist with an arm.
I heard that familiar Scottish voice whisper, "I can't believe I'm in love with you…"
Madame Hooch's whistle blew and I closed my eyes dozing off. This was a wonderful dream and I had no intention on waking up.
"Today is a fantastic day," Yin said to me as she took a seat on the chair beside my hospital bed. "We won the Quidditch match, Xavier and I made a month, and I definitely aced that test for Transfiguration!"
"Great for you, I'm in the mood to rip someone's head off,"
"Aw, why? Your boyfriend saved you, you know,"
"I thought I was dreaming,"
"Nope. It was completely real,"
Noelle burst into the hospital. "Hey sluts," she said panting.
"What's up with you?" I asked her curiously.
"Oh nothing, I'm just running away from this second year who has this insane obsession with me. What about you guys?"
"Oh nothing. I'm just sitting here on the hospital bed waiting for another disaster to hit me," I casually said.
"Yeah and I'm just telling her how great of a day I had," Yin told her.
"Great, that's great. Oh yeah. Marie is fucking annoying,"
I looked at astonished and looked at Yin. She had a huge grin on her face and we high fived each other. "Finally!" we both exclaimed in unison.
"I'm sorry I never really realized it, but her vocabulary…if I hear the word groovy once again, I will go on a crazy rampage,"
I grinned. "Told you so!"
Noelle rolled her eyes. "Whatever," she said and took a seat. "Oh my gosh, it's like raining so hard outside its ridiculous. By the way, the celebration party is going to be in the common room tonight instead of the Room of Requirements. Are you feeling better to go?"
"Hell yeah! I wouldn't miss the party!" I exclaimed excitedly. "Oh yeah, so um, where's Wood?"
Yin and Noelle looked at each other with a wicked grin. "Your boyfriend's out on the pitch alone cleaning up. Why don't you join him?" Noelle asked looking at me with a smirk.
"You know what, I will. He owes me an apology and a necklace," I said trying to think of an excuse. I got up and Madame Pomfrey walked back in.
"Where do you think you're going?" she asked firmly.
"I feel all better! Madame Pomfrey, you're such a miracle worker!" I told her happily, blew her a kiss and sprinted out of the hospital toward the pitch.
"WOOD!" I shouted looking for him in the rain. The thunder covered up my shouting. The rain was really getting worse. It was a fucking thunderstorm!
"WOOOOOOO-"
"LABELLE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE?" Wood asked shouting at me.
"YOU OWE ME AN APOLOGY!" I screamed back at him.
"I DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING!"
Ugh, he was trying to make this difficult. "OH WAIT NEVERMIND, YOU OWE ME A THANKS! I WON THE BLOODY GAME FOR YOU!"
"OH YEAH? AND ARE YOU GOING TO ASK FOR THE WHOLE HOUSE FOR A THANKS?"
Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you!
"WOOD, DO YOU REALLY LOVE LOCKNEY?"
"WHAT?"
The thunder roared so loudly it had drowned out my scream of frustration. I had been having a lot of them lately; I think my voice box will die soon.
He walked up closer to me; the rain had soaked him to the bone. His hair was falling all over his eyes; his shirt was sticking to his body like glue, shaping out his six-pack, and his pants were dripping water. He never looked so sexy before. All wet in the rain, if only I could capture it in a picture.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" he asked.
"I THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!" I screamed at him and I walked toward him.
A look of shock spread on his face. "I THINK A LOT OF AIR WENT THROUGH YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU FELL!"
"I'M SERIOUS WOOD. I'M FUCKING IN LOVE WITH YOU. I KNOW I SHOULDN'T BE AND I DON'T KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED BUT I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU!"
He rushed up close to me and held my arm and looked me straight into my eyes. "THIS IS A REALLY MESSED UP JOKE, EVEN FOR YOU LABELLE,"
"SO YOU DON'T LOVE ME TOO? I THOUGHT YOU DID WHEN YOU SAID IT-"
He pulled me into a hug and he whispered in my ear, "I've been in love with you,"
I looked up at him and I saw so much love that eyes could hold. I smiled and then I kissed him.
Our body made contact with each other making me feel warmer. I just noticed now how freezing it was.
Our breathing got heavier and I almost forgot we were out in the rain until the thunder reminded us. Oliver grabbed my hand and we ran toward the lockers. We didn't waste a second.
*He pushed me against the locker and kissed me again. Our tongues fought, trying to dominate. I draped my arms around his neck and he pulled up my legs so they were wrapping around his waist. I let out a moan as he touched my right breast and I bit his ear. I pulled myself even closer so his crotch was touching mine. It was bulging out. My crotch was throbbing for his; Oliver let a groan out.
He kissed my neck up and began to take off my shirt. He sat me down on the floor and flung his shirt off his chest. We kissed some more when I took off my pants and began to kiss his chest. I kissed it tracing a heart and then bit on his nipple.
"Shit!" he exclaimed. "Now it's my turn!"
He bit my lip when he kissed me. I began to quickly unbuckle his pants and he pushed me to the floor. My warm body touched the cold floor and he kissed my breasts gently and sucked on a bunch of random places on my body leaving hickey marks.
He looked up at me and whispered, "I don't know when it all started but Irina Labelle, I am unconditionally in love with you,"
"Oliver Wood, I've never hated but yet loved anyone in my life," I whispered back at him.
I love you Oliver Wood.
