It was now time to go to the play. Natasha was getting ready she was choosing between two dresses a knee length scarlet dress and floor length silver dress that she probably would've worn to the Yule Ball.
"Mum?"
"Yes, dear?"
"Which dress do you think I should wear?" she asked holding up to the two dresses.
"Oh, you're going to that play with Amanda tonight. The one that her girlfriend is in."
"And don't forget Oliver," Milo smirked walking in his sister's room.
"How did you know Oliver is going to the play with me?"
"You would never even think of wearing the shorter dress if you weren't going with Oliver."
Natasha blushed. "You know me too well, Mi."
"Thought so."
"I don't want to come on too strong, I told him that we were just going as friends but I know I just want to snog him," she sighed running her hand through her hair nervously.
"I'm sure he feels the same way, I saw the way he was looking at you at my birthday party."
Natasha nodded. Her mum helped her get dressed and combed her hair.
"Doesn't Ash look beautiful tonight, dad?" Milo asked their dad.
"You must be seeing Oliver tonight," her dad smirked looking at his daughter.
"How did you know?"
Silas said. "You're clearly your mother's daughter, whenever we would be out together even before we were dating. She'd wear a dress that would immediately catch my eye and show off those gams."
"We didn't need to know that, dad," Milo and Natasha grimaced.
"Go have fun, sweetie. Don't be back too late."
She finished her goodbyes and made her way to the metro. She would've apparated but she wanted to be more discreet. She got off the metro and made her way to the theater.
"Hey Nat," Amanda greeted her best friend.
"Hey Mandy."
"You look beautiful, who did you bring as your guest?"
"He should be here soon."
Amanda smirked at her best friend. "Oh, obviously a boyfriend judging by the dress."
"He's just a friend for now but I would love to be more than friends again."
Amanda nodded as Oliver joined them he was wearing a suit.
"Hey Oliver," she greeted him casually checking him out.
"Hey Natasha, you look nice," he said cursing himself.
"Thanks, you too. Mandy this is Oliver."
"It's nice to meet you, Mandy," he smiled at her.
"You too."
"Let's go in."
They walked into the theater. As they walked, Oliver and Natasha's hands brushed up against each other a few times. Their seats were quite close since Lilac was in the play. Natasha sat in the middle of Amanda and Oliver.
"You know you look more than nice," Oliver whispered in Natasha's ear.
"Oh, really."
"Yes, you look gorgeous," he amended his statement from earlier.
Before Natasha could respond the play started. Amanda watched her girlfriend proudly.
"It's a shame we just came as friends, I could really go for a snog," Oliver mentioned casually during intermission his hand creeping up her leg flirtatiously.
"Could you now?" she said resisting the urge to shiver at his touch.
"Don't act all innocent, I know you wore this dress to tempt me, Miss Butler," he accused eyeing her bosom hungrily.
Before she could confirm his suspicions the play resumed. The play ended and they met up with Lilac backstage. She was still in costume.
"You did amazing, love," Amanda complimented her girlfriend.
"Thanks."
"Lilac, you remember my best friend Natasha but this is her friend Oliver."
"It's nice to meet you, Oliver."
"You too, Lilac."
"So, all three of you went to school together?"
"Yes, Natasha and I were in the same year but Oliver was two years ahead of us."
Lilac nodded. "I'm starving, can we grab something to eat?"
"Sounds good, you two want to join us?" Amanda asked.
"I'm starving too," Oliver said.
"Why am I not surprised, Oliver," Natasha giggled.
He smiled at her.
"I could go for some food too."
They caught a taxi and rode to the nearest restaurant. Oliver escorted Natasha in. They were seated.
"Can I talk to you alone, Nat?" Amanda asked.
"Sure."
She led Natasha to the bathroom. "So, what's your deal with Oliver?"
"We dated back at Hogwarts. I kissed him after Gryffindor won the Quidditch Cup in 1994. We didn't start a relationship until the next year. I lost my virginity to him right after I finished Hogwarts."
Amanda smirked. "That explains all the sexual tension. We both have a thing for brunettes."
"Are you upset I didn't tell you about our first relationship. To be fair, I didn't tell anyone not even Milo."
"It's alright, Nat. We're all entitled to our secrets."
She smiled at her best friend before leaving the bathroom and rejoining the table. Oliver immediately jumped up and pulled out Natasha's chair.
"Thanks Ol- I mean Oliver," she smiled at him as she sat down.
"You're welcome," he smiled.
The waitress strode over and took their order all but drooling over Oliver. Though, he only had eyes for Natasha judging by the fact that his hand had been resting dangerously close to the hem of her dress since she sat down. After they ordered, they chatted amicably. The waitress delivered the food.
"Be careful, it's hot," she told Oliver resting her hand on his arm flirtatiously.
Oliver said nicely. "I'm not interested, I'm only interested in this beautiful woman next to me."
Natasha blushed at his comment as the waitress walked away. They began eating and continued chatting. They paid the bill.
"I should get home, my family is probably wondering where I am," Natasha said.
"I would offer to escort you home but my stomach hurts from eating too much," Oliver groaned holding his stomach.
"Oh, I hope you feel better Oliver," Lilac said before walking away.
"Do you have any stomach ache potion at home, Oliver?" she asked worriedly.
"I don't think so. You could come to my house and rub my stomach," he suggested cheekily.
"You cheeky bastard."
"I really did eat too much but I think I can stand the pain for the night."
"You sure?"
He nodded reassuringly. She hugged him goodbye and went home.
"How was the play?" Milo asked.
"It was fun."
Milo raised a knowing eyebrow. "I feel like you didn't really pay attention to the play and paid attention to Oliver."
A blush dusted her cheeks. "I did. He looked really handsome."
"It's too bad you two went as friends, I'm sure he would've went for a snog."
"He told me the same exact thing."
Milo nodded.
