DRACO P.O.V
Stuck at the Pratchett party once more. After seeing picture after picture of the new "it" couple when I came to the states I figured I better come check on her. Least she seemed happy. I grabbed a drink from a nearby waiter's tray and headed outside and there she was once more standing in the garden rose in hand. She stood her red hair elegantly done up, her back facing me and the strapless white dress pooled at the bottom.
"What about your plus one?" She asked turning to face me.
"She dumped me."
"Ranee?" She asked in slight shock.
"Yeah, right into my plan."
"Really you made her dump you?"
"I simply made life absolutely unbearable for her. And surprisingly it worked."
"I'm somewhat impressed, least you have a chance at happiness now."
"No, I don't, not without you Leila."
"Draco not here." She said turning to face me. And I kissed her, I couldn't hold back. She separated from me and glared. "Draco are you crazy we could be seen!" She exclaimed.
"I'm..." she grabbed my wrist and snuck me inside and up several flights of stairs. "You have a nice home." I commented on the way.
"Thanks." She answered smiling. She entered a room and then grabbed my collar kissing me like I've never been kissed before. It was like the first kiss we ever shared times ten. I wrapped my arms around her and brought her close to me. She ran her fingers through my hair, then her hands went down and she began to undo the buttons of my shirt.
"Wait." I said grasping her hand.
"What?" She asked breathless.
"You're sure?" I asked.
"I said you could have it didn't I?" She stated.
"Wait you and Shane haven't..." She shook her head and immediately I was kissing her again as my shirt came off with ease. She slipped easily out of her dress and revealed her well muscled body, she wore no bra with the dress , I immediately placed my hands on them. I backed her up to the bed and as soon we landed started kissing her on her lips her neck and kept going down. With expertise I removed her panties and looked up at her. Looking straight in her eyes.
"Be gentle." She whispered.
I wanted to stay here forever. In this place, with her in my arms. "You better get back down to your party." I mumbled. She took a deep breath in.
"I don't want to." She sighed, but got up anyway and slipped her clothes back on. "Do I look good?" She asked.
"Beyond stunning." I answered propping myself up on my elbow.
"Does my hair still look good?"
"It would look good if it was green."
"Draco I'm serious!" She exclaimed smiling.
"Yes, not a hair out of place."
"Okay." She said leaving the room. I laid back on the bed and sighed.
I got back up put my clothes on and went back to the party. "Draco I'm glad you made it!" I looked over and saw Shane approach Leila on his arm.
"Hey Shane."
"I hear Ranee dumped you."
"Yeah, thank god." I answered.
"Hey babe can you go get me a drink?" He asked Leila. She nodded kissed him on the cheek and left. He patted my back and we walked outside onto the patio. Staring down at the passing cars and people.
"I don't know how you can stand it here, with all the noise." I stated.
"When you grow up with it, it grows on you. Lillian loves it, when we went to a small village in Spain to spend the night, she couldn't sleep, she was scared because it was too quiet."
"Wow."
"But you know what the worst part about that was Draco?"
"What?"
"I couldn't comfort her. No matter what I did she wouldn't calm down." I listened intently and looked at him, "It's true in all situations, she doesn't respond to me emotionally, it's just motions for her, but when she saw you tonight Draco her eyes lit up. She was suddenly extremely happy, like a joy I had never seen since we came home two months ago. I can't do it anymore, I can't be with her knowing there's someone better. I made a promise to you Draco, I promised I would do anything to make sure she was happy and I'm going to do that by giving her up."
"What about the arrangement?" I asked.
"I'll deal with that."
"Found you." I heard Leila say.
I came out onto the patio and saw Shane and Draco leaning on the railing. Shane suddenly rose and practically leapt onto me. I dropped the glass causing it to shatter and the liquid to stain the bottom of my dress. He grabbed my face and kissed me passionately. But I knew this kiss, this was another kiss goodbye. Afterwards Shane walked back to the party and it was just Malfoy and I on the patio. "May we go to the garden?" I asked. We made our way there and as soon as we got there he kissed me tenderly. Something I hadn't experienced from him before. This kiss this new type of kiss was unlike the goodbye kiss in the broom closet or the goodbye kiss form Shane this kiss, this kiss was hello.
