Can't Resist

At first, a series of not so appropriate words flew through Stephen's head. When Chloe offered to be his girlfriend, he had thought they would just pretend in front of others. He certainly hadn't expected this… Noticing Stephen's obvious puzzlement, Chloe stopped.

"Not exactly what you had in mind?" She asked.

"Uh… no… not quite…" Stephen stuttered..

"So you're just going to half do it? If we're going to pretend to be a couple, we need to be able to do it right!" Chloe muttered with a pissed off look on her face. "Fine with me! See you later." She stormed off, leaving Stephen lying on the cold floor, befuddled.

"Girls…" complained Stephen, walking back to the Gryffindor dorms.

::Chloe's thoughts::

"Yes! Chloe strikes again! Guys will eat any bullshit I feed them. While Stephen thinks I'm helping him get that geek, I'll make sure that he slowly falls for me!! I'm such a player~" ::smirk::

::End of Chloe's Little Conversation with herself::

Wandering aimlessly, Chloe found herself facing a pair of gigantic doors. They seemed to be leading to the outside grounds. Shrugging carelessly, she pushed opened the doors a bit and slipped outside. Chloe suppressed a gasp as she gazed at the beautiful scenery laid out before her. The night sky was clear with many sparkling stars embroidered in it. A bright blue moon shone, making the night seem mysterious and charmed. The beams of moonlight cut through the air and reflected upon the lake, making its still surface glimmer like a new mirror. Afraid of breaking the fragile beauty, Chloe slowly made her way over to the lake's shore and gingerly sat down. Gazing wistfully at the cold water, she couldn't help but wish that she had brought her swimming suit with her. She imagined how good it would feel to have the chilly water caress her bare skin.

"Wait, no one's watching. Who needs a swimming suit??" she silently whispered to herself. "I'll just go skinny dipping and hope the fish don't bite me. Hmm, too bad Stephen isn't here. ::smirk::

Quietly discarding all her clothing, Chloe stepped into the water, causing the surface to ripple like a patch of silk floating in air. The freezing water surrounded her and gave her a sense of pleasure, peace, and tranquility that she hadn't felt for a long time. As she happily waded, she heard a small splash behind her. Turning around swiftly, and found herself staring into a familiar pair of piercing silver eyes.

"What are you doing here?!" Chloe exclaimed in a panicky but hushed voice.

"I saw you enjoying your night swim and couldn't bring myself to reject such an enticing opportunity."

While Draco was talking, Chloe found herself inspecting Draco's great body. Her gaze slowly traveled down but flicked quickly back up as soon as she realized what she was doing. Draco saw this and couldn't help but grin at such a timid side of The Rebel.

"Well, this is all very interesting, but I seriously need to get some sleep. Good night." Chloe said curtly, hurried to the shore, gathered her clothes, and ran to Slytherin dorms. Draco stayed for few more minutes, drifting with the wind, then went in also.
