...Break-up for Fun...
Quidditch practice is kicking my ass not to mention the workload from my classes. I just barely have enough time to go on one last date with Blaise before I put my plan into action. He swings our joined hands back and forth. "What is it? You haven't said much since we left." he sounds worried. I stop walking and he turns to me. "I have a big event coming up." I hug him taking in his scent. "No, no, no, no, no, no. Please don't do what I think you're about to do." he pleads kissing the top of my head. "I have to." I mumble. I lean back enough to look at him. I run my fingers along his shoulders and kiss him.
He tightens his arms around me and deepens the kiss not wanting to let me go. "It's not for a long time. Just a little bit." I assure him. Blaise kisses me again and again. I hop into his arms not wanting to let go either. I look into his eyes. "Just a little while and then you'll be mine again." Blaise whispers. I nod and he sets me down. The walk back up to the castle is quieter and when we reach the entrance hall, I turn to him with a smile. "I'll see you around then. It was nice while it lasted." I smirk and pat his shoulder before walking away.
"What'd you do this time?" Astoria demands dropping down next to me at dinner. "Well hello to you too." I scoff. "Blaise has been moping and sulky since this afternoon. What did you do?" she snaps her fingers. "I broke up with him." I smirk. Meredith does a spit take. "You what?!" they gasp. I quickly explain and Luna laughs. "Let me know when you two break-up for real and not just because of one of your shutdowns." she giggles. I nod and smile. "Then I should probably notify you that I'll be breaking-up with him several more times before the end of second term." I inform Astoria. She staggers back to her table shaking her head. I smile when I see her talking to Blaise.
His friend Theo claps a hand over Blaise's mouth and I can only guess he started spouting Italian again. I chuckle and turn back to my dinner. Ginny nudges me on the way up the stairs. Blaise is watching me. "Thanks for the experience." I mouth before dragging Luna and Ginny up the stairs. The day of my first Quidditch match I wake early and go for an early morning jog. I've already showered and eaten by the time the rest of the team shows up. Cho sits next to me looking like she's been crying again. I put my head on her shoulder and hum a song that mum used to sing to me. She relaxes and is ready to go by game time. I grab my broom and join the others.
Cho nudges me softly. I nudge her back. We walk out and the roar of the crowd is deafening. I get on my broom and take flight with my team. I remember the captain telling me to keep the plays simple until we were sure Cho could find the Snitch. 'Hack away gently then go in for the kill', as he so very lightly put it. I smile and catch the Quaffle when Davies passes it. I eye the goal and realize the Hufflepuff chasers are on my tail. Davies gives the signal. I hop onto my broom using my tip toes to balance. I do a backflip jumping over their chasers and a Bludger and land safely back on my broom then send the Quaffle rocketing into the middle goal post.
Ravenclaw loses it and the cheers make me smile. I zoom after the Hufflepuff chasers who have reclaimed the Quaffle. I lost sight of Cho but find her circling the sky. She has the Hufflepuff seeker on her tail. Davies reclaims the Quaffle. We play a game of keep away with the other chaser giving Cho time to catch the Snitch. She signals that she's almost got it and Davies passes the Quaffle to me. I toss it with all my strength knocking the Bludgers into the goal too just as Cho catches the Snitch.
I land next to Cho and she hugs me. We start laughing as Lee Jordan announces the final score. The rest of the team lands and gathers around us hugging us. We head to the changing rooms then back to the common room for a victory party.
Harry and Blaise are waiting outside the library when I leave. "Am I in trouble or something?" I wonder. They start in with questions at the same time. I hold my hands up. "I can't understand you two when you're like this. One question at a time." I pout. They pull me over to a bench and precede to question me for the better part of two hours. Harry leaves first since he has detention. I hop up and start back to my dorm. Blaise scoops me up and carries me in the opposite direction.
He puts me down in an old storage closet and closes the door. "You were amazing out there you know." he eyes me carefully. I shrug nonchalantly. "Can we end this little break now?" he asks taking a step towards me. I smile and shake my head. "I'm kind of into this break. It's refreshing. Besides it's only been a few days." I sigh examining my fingernails. Blaise lifts my chin and kisses me deeply. "I'm never letting you go. Now can we end this little game?" he mumbles kissing my neck.
Blaise and I break apart panting heavily as sweat runs down our bodies. My fingers run along his back as he shudders from the last of his climax. His head drops and he kisses my neck and shoulder. Our clothes lay on the floor in a heap and I'm sure my hair is messed up. I laugh quietly at the fact that one little kiss could turn into hours in a storage closet. He pulls out of me and whine in complaint. "You are so pretty baby bird." he whispers. I look up at him and a shiver runs through me. "I think you're bad for my health and we should permanently break-up." I sigh. "I love you too." he chuckles.
I head to the shower to wash the night's activities from my skin then go to bed. I'm able to get an hour of sleep before Mere and Luna wake me. I whine and grumble all the way down to hall for breakfast. "Where'd you go yesterday?" Luna wonders as I pick at a waffle. "Library, then I got questioned by Harry and Blaise for hours." I yawn. Ginny sits down next to me and strokes my hair. "Then how did you get this?" she pokes my neck where Blaise had been a few hours earlier. "Blaise wanted me to end our little break and I said no." I shrug.
"What about when I saw you stumbling to the showers earlier?" Astoria smirks sitting on my other side. "I went for a walk and sat up looking at the night sky. By the time I got up to go to bed my legs had fallen asleep. I took a quick shower before bed. Then these two woke me up after an hour of sleep." I sniffle. Luna and Mere look down at their plates sheepishly. "One last question and we're done. How'd those scratches get on his back?" Astoria wonders. Luuna chokes on her juice. "I don't know. Do you want to go ask him together? You know I 'm not always with him. You can't expect me to know how he got those scratches. Here's an experiment for you to try. Go over there and kiss him and see if you get your answer that way." I pinch her cheek.
Astoria goes bright red and Ginny smacks my arm. I get up and help Astoria to her feet. I lead her back to her table. "I have a gift for you." I whisper in Blaise's ear. He looks up at me and I wave at Astoria. I give him the rundown and he frowns. "So, I think you should kiss her and maybe then she and the rest of my friends will understand how you got those scratches on your back." I explain slowly. Theo chokes on his juice. I sit Astoria in his lap and clap my hands together. They stare at me. "Are you guys done questioning me?" I wonder rocking back and forth on my feet. Astoria nods and quickly remover herself from his lap. I pat Blaise on the back specifically where the scratches are. He smiles at me and I smile back innocently.
Astoria takes me back to my own table. I happily return to my breakfast. "What was that?!" Astoria slaps my arm. "Blaise's punishment for marking me." I point to the hickey and wink at her. Ginny shivers. "Geez! What would the punishment be for him not playing as hard as he can in a quidditch match?" Luna tsks. "I'd break some pasta before boiling it." I joke. Mere frowns, leans over, and whacks the top of my head. I rub my head and pout. "That's childish. Pour some ketchup on some spaghetti and tell him it's freshly made tomato sauce. You should know better the way our parents raised us." Mere huffs. I look at her and our lips start trembling. The five us burst out laughing at the same time.
In true Blaise fashion he starts tracking me whenever he has time to spare. I cave after two because Draco starts teasing him and Blaise looks like he's going to punch him. I'm half tempted to let him but Mere gives me a look. I walk over and wrap my arms around Blaise's waist. "Here to give me another assessment?" Draco sneers. I open my mouth and Blaise raises an eyebrow. "I just came to get this idiot." I reply. The two boys look at me in confusion. "Come on. Mum just sent some taffy. There's a candied pepper one and a snake wine one and a butterbeer one." I lace my fingers with his. Draco looks from me to Blaise in shock.
"I thought you two were..." Draco stammers. "WE were on a break!" Blaise and I huff at the same time rolling our eyes. I pull Blaise down the hall and wait until there aren't any staff, students or gossipy ghost or paintings. I push him against the wall and kiss him. "I missed you too baby bird. Now where's my treat?" he wonders. I pout. "You're not getting it now." I stomp on his foot and walk off. He stumbles after me. He runs in front of me and stops abruptly forcing me to stop. He lifts me up and carries me to a bench. I straddle his lap and look at him. He raises an eyebrow. I rummage in my bag and take out a butterbeer taffy and pop it into his mouth. "Sorry." I mumble.
He rubs my shoulders. "It's almost time for tests before the break. What am I going to do? I can't let you break apart but I shouldn't help you out too much." he hmms. I ignore him and grab my candied peppers. Blaise snatches the container and moves it from hand to hand. I follow it carefully and when he hides it behind him, I lean forward. He uses my distractedness to kiss me. "You're not getting this back until we get on the train to go home." he states. I start to fall backwards and he catches me.
"Please give it back!" I whine. He shakes his head. I lock my fingers behind his neck and smile. "No." he states firmly. "Please baby?!" I whine. He gives my lips a quick peck. "Nope, let's go study." he smirks. I whine, grumble and complain all the way to the library. He leaves me alone for a few minutes to get a book he says I'll need for my studies. I slip a bottle of whiskey and vodka from bag. Before the vial has a chance to reach my lips Blaise snatches it up. I start to throw a fit and he gives me a warning look. He grabs my bag and confiscates all my alcohol, cooking utensils, notes, spices, food, and even the sweets mum sent. All I'm left with are things to study.
"My boyfriend hates me." I sniffle hitting my head on the table. Blaise slides me onto his lap and starts reviewing my Transfiguration notes. "Don't hit your head. It's a nice head with pretty eyes, nose, lips..." he kisses my cheek. I drape my arm over him as I study. "Can I visit over the break?" he wonders. "No, your aunt can. You're only allowed to visit over the summer." I state firmly. "Is it because I made you study?" he asks spinning me around. "No..." I look away. "Baby bird are you going to give me a satisfying answer? Do we need to go somewhere private and talk?" he turns me back to him. "No." I sniffle. "Aww, love. What's the matter?" he wipes the few tears that have fallen. "You're going to graduate before me." I wrap my arms around him and put my head on his chest as I start to cry.
"Cassie please don't cry." Blaise rubs my back. He taps the small of my back and I jump into his arms. I bury my face in his neck as I cry. He sits down on a bench and kisses my cheek. "What am I going to do without you for an entire year?!" I wail. He shushes me and pats my back. "How am I supposed to give you your gift then?" he whispers. I sit up and frown at him. "What gift?" I wonder. He wipes my tears away. "It's too big to be sent by owl. It's too small and fragile to be sent in the mail. Ah, what should I do?" he smiles. "Tell me what my gift is." I say hopefully. He chuckles. "My love for you." he winks. I groan and slide off his lap.
"Ugh, I take it back. Maybe a year away from you would do me good." I shiver as I walk down the hall. Blaise runs to catch up and holds out his hand. I tart to reach my hand out and withdraw it quickly. I stick my tongue out at him and take off running. He catches me without breaking a sweat. I squirm in his arms. "You're so damn stubborn." he laughs. "I'm boycotting your affection until you give me back what you stole." I huff when I realize my escape attempts are useless. Blaise smiles and pulls me to his chest. "What if I give you one of jackets?" he smirks. My eyes go wide in anticipation before I can stop myself. "Give me a kiss first." he smiles playing with my hair. I kiss my fingertips and smack his chest where his heart is.
He groans pretending to be hurt. I fold my arms and start walking. He grabs my hand and spins me around. He keeps me close with one hand and taps his lips with the other. I kiss his cheek instead. "You stubborn baby bird." he tsks. I flip my hair sassily smacking him in the face as I do so and turn on my heel. I temporarily forgot I was trapped in his arms. He turns my head to the side and kisses me. I blush and hide my face in my hands. "You're mean. I need a new boyfriend." I scoff. "Say that again." Blaise growls in my ear. "I need to think about your gift." I smile. He kisses me again and finally releases me. "FREEDOM!" I yell running away.
I pace back and forth unsure of what to do. "What's eating you?" Astoria wonders. "Blaise confiscated all of her goodies. Not one bottle of alcohol was left with her." Luna giggles. Ginny moves beside Mere. "If she loses it, you can be the one to help her then." Ginny shivers. "And I still don't know what to get him for Christmas." I groan. "You still haven't found anything?!" Mere and Ginny gasp. I nod and keep pacing. I told them about the cheesy lines he'd used on me the other day as an explanation to why they hadn't seen me with him recently. Just then an owl swoops down with a parcel. I unwrap quickly and squeal. "Dad sent the pufferfish venom!" I smile. "The what?!" Seamus and Harry growl. Harry and his friends were passing by on their way to Hogsmeade.
"Scatter!" Astoria yells. We all take off running like our lives depend on it. It's just my luck that I run into Blaise and Theo. I bite my lip and tiptoe around them pretending to be invisible. "Not so fast. I thought I confiscated all your distractions." Blaise eyes the new parcel. His eyes flicker with recognition and holds his hand out. I shake my head and hide behind Theo. "Really Cassie. I told you last year no pufferfish venom." Blaise groans. I dodge him using Theo as a shield. "Can I not be in the middle of your lover's quarrel? Didn't I help you enough last year?" Theo groans. I put my hand on Theo's shoulder backing up slowly.
"Are you crazy?! You're going to get me killed!" Theo whispers through gritted teeth while trying to remove my hand. I wrap my arm around his neck. "I'm just temporarily taking you hostage until we're well away from my brother, Explosion Boy, and Blaise. I can't let them take my venom away." I whisper back. Theo sighs but cooperates. Blaise is clearly livid. "Theo. Step away from Cassidy. Now!" Blaise growls. Theo groans. "Sorry!" I whisper in his ear while smiling at Blaise. I run my hand along Theo's and intertwine our fingers. The look in Blaise's eyes goes from irritation and worry to downright murderous. I smirk and take off running with Theo.
I pull him into a storage closet and wait until Blaise passes. I laugh and run my fingers through my hair. We wait until we're sure the danger has passed before leaving. I hide the venom in my trunk and lay on my bed. The others make it up with lunch and we hide out until dinner. Blaise, Harry, and Seamus are standing guard by the door while Neville, Dean, and Ron watch off to the side obviously thoroughly entertained. I yelp and try to turn back but Theo is just coming up from the dungeons looking thoroughly harassed carrying broken rope. It makes me smile and I partially wonder what punishment Blaise gave him.
"Where's the venom Cassie?" Harry asks. I blink up at him innocently. "Venom. Venom. Venom?" I turn to look at my friends. We all have a confused and innocent look on our face. "Don't play dumb with me. I saw it. Blaise saw it. I know you have it." Harry states. "Ah, that venom. I made some tequila out of it and drank it." I shrug. Ron chokes and Dean and Neville lead him into the hall. As soon as they're around the doors they burst out laughing. "I thought I confiscated all of it." I hear Blaise mumble to himself. "Erm, did you forget. My adopted parents are chefs. We've traveled the world with them learning all types of culinary know how. My birth mum was a talented witch who also excelled in potions and my birth father had a knack for getting into trouble." I pat Blaise on the shoulder.
"How did Cassie get away from you earlier?" Seamus wonders. Blaise points at Theo who was trying to sneak by unnoticed. "I took Theo hostage and I hid in a storage closet with him." I explain to my friends. The murderous look returns to Blaise's eyes. "Not like that. We just waited until you passed by then went our separate ways." I explain. "Yeah, what else do you think they were doing in the closet?" Astoria smirks. I pinch her arm. Blaise opens his mouth to speak and I clap my hand over his mouth. I give him a meaningful warning look.
"You didn't have to tie me up like that! I didn't even do anything." Theo shakes the broken ropes in front of Blaise. I fight back a smile. "I'll be sending your parents a letter. We'll see if what you're saying is the truth." Harry mutters. He and Seamus go inside. Luna, Mere, and Ginny follow. "How come you only tied up Theo when Cassie was the one who took him hostage and provoked you?" Astoria asks. "I have a separate punishment in mind for the little bird." Blaise mumbles. He nods for Theo and Astoria to go inside.
"Those were some truly evil tactics baby bird. You know that right baby bird?" Blaise looks me up and down. I roll my eyes. "You don't smell like you've been drinking." he observes. "And you don't look like the unreasonable type that ties up his best friend who was innocent and begged me not to him involve him in our little discussion." I giggle. He frowns at me and crosses his arms. "Rope. Kinky." I laugh and wink. I pat his shoulder sympathetically as I pass on my way to dinner.
Blaise spends the next hour ignoring everyone who tries to talk to him. Astoria laughs catching Blaise's attention and whatever she says his mood does a 180 and his energy triples. I frown and Astoria catches my eye. She looks away immediately. Blaise is smirking now and my intuition tells me I'm in serious trouble. I push my plate away. "I'll see you guys in the dorm." I mutter to Luna and Mere. I hurry from the hall as fast as I can and up the marble stairs. Luckily for me I have a boyfriend who's good at tracking me down.
"So, you needed the pufferfish venom for my Christmas gift but I remember you acting like you hadn't even thought about it yet. You know you're actually quite sweet even though you try to hide it from me." Blaise chuckles emerging from the shadows. I jump and clutch my heart. "You know you're actually quite sweet even though you try to hide it from me." I mimic as I walk past. "Is that all you wanted to say?" Blaise grabs my hand. I kick the back of my foot and sigh. I turn around and give his lips a quick peck. "Goodnight and I love you. Idiot." I smirk and run up to my dorm.
I spend the entirety of Saturday working on Blaise's gift but I need the things he's confiscated. I find him in the courtyard talking to Harry and Seamus. I make my way over and poke his arm. He smiles at me. "I my things that you confiscated." I state firmly. "Can't do that. It's not the end of term and we aren't on the train." he replies. I taking a few calming breaths trying to refrain from hitting him. "I can't finish your Christmas gift without some of the items." I spit the words out. Harry and Seamus are smiling a bit too much for my liking.
"What is it that you need baby bird?" he asks innocently. "My blowtorch, my tools, my vodka, my jewel kit, and my scented oils." I cough. They gawk at me. "I don't remember confiscating some of those." Blaise puts his hands on his hips. "I hid some of them in my notebooks. Others in my cookbooks. I also hid the vodka I need in the candied pepper jar. And before you start scolding me it's for artistic purposes not to drink. I have the whiskey for that." I mumble the last part. Something seems to click in Seamus' mind and he gasps. "Ah, that's what Mere meant when she said you liked buzzy drinks." he snaps his fingers. Blaise starts to tap his foot.
He holds his hand out and I back up. "What?" Harry and I ask at the same time. "She's been mumbling this entire time. I just barely caught a whiff of it. You've been drinking merlot and champagne." Blaise starts searching me. He finds my mini bottle of merlot and hands it to Harry. He holds his hand out and I reluctantly hand over my wand with the wooden carved bird on the end. Blaise examines it for a split second the unscrews the bird from the wand. My champagne, tequila, cbd oil, and mini box of sweets mum had sent. I look away from them whistling as of nothing is wrong.
Blaise holds up the oil. "For my anxiety attacks after tests. It's medicinal." I explain. He folds his arms seemingly unconvinced. "I'm being serious! Ask Mere. She has some hidden in her wand too. Can I get the sweets back while I wait?" I wonder. Seamus focus on something behind me. I turn in time to see Mere turn and walk back inside. Seamus tsks and runs after her. "When mum and dad said you two would cause me a bit of worry, I don't think they told the whole truth." Harry groans. "Do you want to try the oil too? You look like you could use it." I remark.
Seamus carries a pouty Mere out her wand in his hand. From her wand falls her cbd oil, her money for school supplies and the like, a box of sweets, and a gift catalog. Seamus looks up at Mere who's taken to the same whistling approach as I have. I chance it and sneak a look at Blaise and Harry. Harry is holding up a mini tattoo book and Blaise has a mini piercings book. I laugh nervously. "I was just looking." I wave my hand in the air. Blaise turns me too him and looks into my eyes. "Fine I wasn't just looking. I wanted to get to get something for my birthday." I huff. Blaise continues looking into my eyes.
"Astoria and Ginny talked me into it." I confess. Mere nudges me. "You weren't supposed to give in that easily." she mumbles. "I need my confiscated items back." I mouth. After a long private chat Harry, Blaise, and Seamus turn back to us. We're limited to only keeping the cbd oil in our wands. Harry has to go help Ron study and Seamus and Mere go for a walk. I tug on Blaise's sleeve. He pulls me to his chest hugging me tightly.
"You know you can talk to me about anything, right?" he whispers. I nod wrapping my arms around his waist. "I had that dream again last night. The flashy green dream with the screaming. I needed to work on your gift so I just drank a little bit to get over it. Just a little bit." I sniffle as the scream from my dream begins to echo in my head. He kisses the top of my head and holds me tighter. "It's been happening more often and getting more vivid and detailed." I mumble. I end up in his lap as he rubs my back trying to comfort me. "I was so scared." I whimper.
I jump up with glee as I finish Blaise's gift. I hold it up to the moonlight and watch it shine for a minute. I kiss it then wrap it up carefully, put it in a box, and wrap it carefully before tucking it safely inside my bag to take home. It's two in the morning and I yawn and stretch. Mere and Luna fell asleep in my bed and I sigh. I roll them over and climb in beside them.
They have to drag me down to dinner the next day. I yawn tiredly having slept the entire day. My head nearly drops in my plate and I lean on Luna's shoulder. I fall asleep there and wake up on Harry's back. "She lives." he chuckles. "I've been having bad dreams and couldn't sleep." I murmur. Harry sighs. "Is that why you were drinking?" he wonders and I nod. "Sometimes, with people that have gone through terrible things emotionally, physically, or mentally not even the strongest alcohol is enough." I sigh. "What are you a professional speaker?" Harry stops walking. I frown at him. "I was quoting my therapist. You should meet him. He's really good at helping people who've been traumatized." I rest my head on Harry's shoulder.
"Ah, should I?" Harry sighs. "You and Neville. I've already recommended it to Ginny and Cho." I start picking at a loose string on Harry's shirt. I sense Harry staring at me but don't turn to look at him. "Cassie." he calls gently. I twirl the loose string until I realize he's stopped walking. "Yes?" I finally look at him. "It's going to be ok." he smiles. I relax and pinch his cheek. "Ow, ow, ow." he yelps. "I had to do something. You seemed like you were going to say something cheesy next." I laugh.
Blaise is leaning on the wall at the bottom of the stairs. I keep peeking around the corner waiting for him to leave. "I thought you were going down to the carriages?" Mere asks as she approaches with Explosion Boy. I hold a finger to my lips. She tilts her head in confusion and I point down the stairs. "I'm waiting for him to leave first." I whisper. They peek around the corner and frown at me. "You're being childish again, aren't you?" Mere tuts. "He's been asking for his gift for the past few days but the rest of it is at the house. I can't give him a partial gift! I need you two to distract and make sure I have enough time to board the train and hide." I clasp my hands together pleading desperately.
Seamus looks away but Mere cracks under my gaze. "Ugh, fine. You have 15 minutes. You better run." she sighs. I smile and kiss her cheek. Seamus shakes his head and laughs but follows Mere down the stairs. I wait until they've gotten Blaise well out of the way and then run like hell. Panting I collapse into a compartment where Luna is waiting. I hurriedly close the door and smile up at her. "Are you still hiding from him?" she giggles. I nod and shut the blinds on both sides. I curl up on the seat throwing my hood up for good measure.
As the train pulls into the station, I hug Luna goodbye and gather my things. My luck runs at out as I step onto the platform. Blaise pops up out of nowhere scaring me. I clutch my heart trying to calm down. "The hell we're you thinking." I scold smacking his arm. He smiles and holds his hand out. I roll my eyes. "You'll get your gift on Christmas day. Not sooner and not later." I put my hands on my hips. "What if I gave you your gift now?" he wonders pushing my hood back so he can see my face. "Nice try. No dice." I laugh. "Please! I know you got Meredith and Seamus to distract me so I wouldn't notice you slipping by. Just like I know in two months you're going to 'break-up' with me." he rolls his eyes. I smile. "I hadn't thought of breaking up with you for that Quidditch match but now that you bring it up it sounds marvelous idea. It'll be a fun break-up and if you go easy on me in the slightest, we'll break-up for real." I clap my hands giddily.
His eyes go wide in horror. I pull him close and kiss both his cheeks before weaving through the crowds to locate my parents. I hug them and dad looks around. "I wonder where Mrs. Zabini went to. She said she was going to get her nephew." mum mumbles also searching the crowds. I throw my bag over my shoulder and start trying to push them towards the exit. I'm a second too late and the Zabini's pop up in front of us with Meredith. Blaise looks out of it but when his eyes fall on me and he smiles. I look away muttering under my breath and growling. As it turns out while we were at school my family and Blaise's had a few unplanned meetings at the restaurant and got quite close. We're meeting his family for dinner at some restaurant tonight.
The adults are still talking so I load me and Mere's bags into the car. I go to reach for my bag and find it not where I left it but in Blaise's hands. "Give it." I demand with my hand out. He raises an eyebrow. "I can't just whip it out on the street. That's public nudity." he whispers pretending to be appalled and shy as he covers his chest and privates with his hands. I blink at him for a moment then it dawns on me. I start smacking his arm and chest. "That's not what I meant you dirty minded little boy. I meant my bag!" I snap at him through gritted teeth. He frowns and starts to measure the distance between the top of his head and mine. "I'm in no way little." he scoffs.
I growl and cross my arms. He leans down by my ear. "And I'm not half bad down there either as you're well aware." he chuckles and kisses my cheek. I blush and ball my fists up. "All right. All right." he hands me my bag which I snatch and chuck into the car. I look for my parents but they're still talking to Blaise's aunt. Blaise steps closer walking me backwards. He places his hands on either side of me trapping me. "I'm so happy that your family and mine are getting along so well baby bird. I can't wait for you to meet my mum and for her to meet the dark-haired beauty who stole my heart." he smiles. I groan and pretend to gag. "When are you going to stop with the cheesy lines?" I demand. "When they stop having an effect on you baby bird." he smirks.
I look away still fighting my blush. "Can I get a kiss to tide me over until tonight?" he wonders. I turn back to him finding him looking at the sky. I duck under his arm and go to the passenger side door and start rummaging through the glove box. I smile when I find my target. I tap his shoulder and he smiles. I place the Hershey's kiss into his hand and he frowns. Before he can throw a fit his aunt comes over. I wave as she half drags his ass down the street.
