Chapter 5: Dora-holics
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute," Nymphadora said, leaning up on her elbows. She had been laying down beside me once again in bed. But something made her snap to attention. "We had pizza that day," she said.
"No we didn't," I replied. "It was Chinese."
"Are you absolutely sure?" she asked raising an eyebrow. "I could've sworn it was pizza."
I shook my head. "I'm positive. I had never eaten Chinese until that day you took me out to the park." I adjusted my arms behind my head.
Nymphadora laid back down and tapped her bottom lip with her index finger. She began to wonder out loud. "But if I didn't have it with you, then who-" She stopped short, great realization coming over her face. "Oh yeah…"
I looked over at her and cocked an eyebrow. "What is it?"
"Oh nothing," she hummed, and she gave me her impish smiled.
"Dora, something you'd care to share with the class?"
She sighed and gave in. She looked over at me. "You remember Willis, don't you? He was in the drama troupe way back when?"
My eyebrows furrowed. "He was that real tall one with the curly hair, right?"
She nodded. "He played Oberon."
"Yes, I remember. What about him?"
Her eyes hooded a bit. "Well…we went out once." Seeing the alarmed look upon my face, she went on quickly, "It was only once, it was only once." Taking a breath, she went on, "Willis asked me to eat with him one night after rehearsal, but this was about four months before I knew you had feelings for me. But we're the ones who ended up going out for pizza."
I folded my arms across my chest and tapped my fingers in slight irritation on my elbows. "And then what happened?"
"Then I told him thank you, but I wasn't interested, and I had far too much going for myself at the moment at the Ministry!" she gasped in exasperation.
"Good."
"Severus, I've been married to you for nearly twenty years. Don't start getting huffy about a guy I dated once before I even really knew you."
I sulked. I admit it. To this day, I'm jealous. I love my wife, and I hate hearing about the men in her life before me. Although I have met some of them, and most of them are stand up gentlemen, I'm still jealous and I know in my heart I'm the one she's meant to be with.
Hello. My name is Severus Snape, and I'm a Dora-holic.
"Severus, the staring thing."
I closed my eyes and shook myself. "Sorry love," I mumbled. Taking a deep sigh, I went on, "Anyways, the point is, you introduced me to Chinese cuisine, and we sat in the park watching soccer, but very little mind you. We talked mostly, but the whole time I kept wondering if you wanted me to stay, or if you were trying to intimidate me and get me to bolt."
"What?" she said her face screwing up.
"Yes."
"Severus, I was into you!"
My eyebrow rose again. "You were?"
"I was dropping hints about dating and everything! Didn't you pay attention correctly? I was totally flirting! Even you can't be that thick…"
I hesitated…but Lord, how I hated to. "The point is," I went on, "I asked you to dinner."
"You half-wit," she chided, flicking my shoulder.
I looked back at her and smiled. In one swift movement, I took her in my arms and began nuzzling her neck. She giggled and half heartedly tried to shoo me away. "What I'm trying…to say is," I replied between kisses, "I was never so impressed with you as when we got back to your office that afternoon…"
