The City That Never Sleeps

Draco woke up the next morning with Ginny kissing him on the cheek. He opened his eyes, expecting to see Ginny next to him, but she wasn't. He rolled onto his back to find her smiling down at him. He groaned and rolled back over.

"Get up you lazy bum!" she said, hitting him on his butt. "Jesse made eggs benedict and it's delicious."

Draco pushed himself out of bed and threw a tee shirt on over his pajama pants. Ginny came up from behind him and hugged him around his middle. He turned in her arms and kissed her softly.

"Come on…you're missing an amazing breakfast," Ginny said. She took his hand and led him out to the kitchen.

Jesse, Liz, and to Draco's dislike, Chris were already at sitting at the table and eating.

"Good morning Draco," Liz said, smiling up at Draco and Ginny.

"Good morning," Draco answered. He and Ginny took a seat at the table across from Chris.

They all ate in silence for a bit until Liz decided to speak up.

"What should we do today?" she asked to everyone.

Everyone shrugged his or her shoulders except Ginny. "Shopping," she said right away. "And then I was hoping to go to Coyote Ugly." (A/N: I know that is a movie but that's the type of place I picture Ginny working at when she was here. So please forgive me for my lack of imagination and stealing the name.) There was a glint in her eyes that made Liz give an evil laugh.

"Okay, so we'll go back to Coyote…after we go shopping," Liz said.

----------

And shop they did. Draco was actually afraid to get in her way for fear of being trampled. He had never seen anything like Ginny shopping.

She would spend about an hour in one store. The first half of the hour would be spent looking at the clothes, bags, shoes, jewelry, and other things the store held. The second half hour was spent trying the clothes on more then once.

Liz and Ginny shopping together was one crazy experience. And they insisted that the men come along with them.

They dragged them from store to store, making them hold their bags. Ginny had even insisted on buying Draco new clothes.

They had spent two hours in that store. First Ginny walked around and found clothes to try on for the first half hour then tried them on during the second half hour. Then she walked around for a half hour and found clothes for Draco, which he tried on for the last half hour.

He had never seen one person spend as much money as Ginny did shopping.

By the end of the whole shopping brigade, Draco was tired. Then Ginny reminded him that they were still going out to the bar tonight and he had to get dressed.

Draco sighed and stood up from his laying position on the bed. He dug through his suite case and pulled out a black short sleeve shirt. He took the one he was wearing off and pulled that one over his head, leaving the jeans he was wearing on. The shirt fit him perfectly, showing off every muscle he had.

He turned around to tell Ginny he was ready and nearly fainted. If he were in a cartoon, his jaw would be on the floor near his feet. He was speechless. He had always thought Ginny was a beautiful, hot, woman, but he had never seen her look like she was on fire.

Ginny wore a white bustier with black straps that tied around her neck. It completely showed her stomach and a teasing amount of her breast. Her hair was down, falling over her shoulders and covering some of her bare skin. All she did for makeup was the smoky eye effect.

But that wasn't what made Draco go gaga and drool. What made Draco do that was the pair of black leather pants she wore on her legs. They looked like they were painted on; they were so tight.

Ginny looked up from fastening a chain belt and caught Draco staring. She laughed and walked over to him. Putting her finger under his chin, she closed his gaping mouth. "Draco it isn't polite to stare." She walked back to the dresser to brush he hair.

Draco blinked and shook his head. "Gin…you…wow," he stuttered out.

Ginny laughed embarrassingly. "Thanks. I didn't think they would fit," she looked down at them.

Draco smirked as he walked over to her. "Oh!" He put his arms around her hips and turned her towards him. "They fit," he whispered huskily into her ear. He kissed her ear then started trailing kisses down her neck.

Ginny's eyes fluttered closed and she tilted her head to the side to give Draco more access to her neck. She emitted a soft moan when he kissed the sensitive spot where her shoulder and neck came together.

Draco smirked and gave that spot extra attention.

"Gin! Come on, let's go!" Liz yelled from the living room.

Draco growled against Ginny neck.

Ginny smiled and grabbed his hand. "You'll have fun," she kissed him quickly but passionately. "I promise."

----------

Coyote Ugly was a biker bar that was below the streets. It was packed full of people, just the way Ginny remembered it. The bar was in the back of the room where there were four girls dancing on the bar to the music pounding out of the speakers.

They got passed the bouncer and made their way deeper into the room. They didn't stop until they were standing at the side of the bar.

"Cassie! Cassie!" Ginny yelled.

A woman with dirty blond hair that fell to her chin turned around. Her light brown eyes sparkled with joy when they landed on Ginny.

"Well if it isn't Miss Ginny!" Cassie yelled over the music as she walked over to Ginny.

Ginny hugged the girl around her neck. "Did you miss me?" she asked, pulling away from the hug.

"I miss the money you brought in!" Cassie yelled, laughing.

Ginny rolled her eyes. "Very funny!" she yelled. "Anyway Cassie, this is my boyfriend Draco. Draco this is my old boss, Cassie."

"Hi Draco!" Cassie said shaking his hand.

Draco shook it back, smiling. He turned to Ginny. "I thought you worked for some fashion company?" he yelled.

"I did! I worked here on the weekend for some extra cash!" Ginny yelled back.

"Try a lot of extra cash!" Cassie yelled.

"Cassie!" Liz screamed throwing her arms around the blonde.

"Liz!" Cassie yelled backed in the same tone. "You aren't working tonight!"

"I know but Gin's back! You didn't think I was gonna let her have all the fun," Liz yelled, shoving Ginny with her hip.

Cassie nodded her head towards the bar. "You guys wanna do it like the old days?" she asked, raising an eyebrow suggestively.

Ginny and Liz both nodded their heads, a very scary smirk on their faces.

"What's going on?" Draco whispered into Ginny's ear.

Ginny tilted her head back to talk to him. "Just go stand near by Jesse!" she told him.

Draco nodded and pushed his way to the bar next to Jesse. Jesse looked over at him.

"Where are the girls?" He asked.

"They're still with Cassie!" Draco yelled back to him.

The music stopped playing and Cassie took the microphone. "Listen up everyone!" she yelled into the microphone. "We got a little treat for you tonight! Our good, dear old friend Ginger has come back!" At that time Ginny and Liz jumped onto of the bar. "So with Lizzer, they are going to show you all what a real good time is! DJ play something good!"

"Ginger? Lizzer?" Draco asked Jesse raising a confused eyebrow.

"That's their pet name for the bar," Jesse explained.

The DJ spun the disk, and then the beat of What's Your Fantasy blasted through the speakers. Ginny threw her head back and laughed. This was the song that put Ginny Weasley on the bar dancing map.

Ginny and Liz moved to the song in what could have been the most provocative dance ever. They grinded with each other, touched themselves, and teased the crowd of people in the bar. Then as the line "We can do it in the pouring rain" was said, Cassie and the other girls in the bar took the tap, switched it to water, and sprayed it on Ginny, Liz, and the people in the bar.

Yes, it was just like old times for Ginny. Now soaked, she started flipping her hair around and dancing even harder, receiving catcalls from the guys and girls in the bar.

Draco watched Ginny positively stunned and speechless. He couldn't believe that the hot, sexy, goddess dancing on the bar was his. Hell, he couldn't believe that it was Ginny Weasley who was dancing on top of that bar. Her family would have kittens if they could see her now!

Getting caught up in the excitement throughout the bar, Draco added to the people catcalling up to her. Ginny, seeing Draco catcall to her, kneeled down in front of him, bit his bottom lip, then licked it seductively. She stood up and winked at him.

Draco wasn't the only one left speechless.

----------

Draco woke up the next morning when the sun's rays filtered through the window and hit his face. He stretched his arms in the air and yawned. He looked down at his chest where Ginny was sleeping.

Her head was on his shoulder and her arm was thrown over his stomach, keeping him close to her. He kissed her messy mop of red hair and rubbed her bare back. He lay back in bed, closing his eyes and thinking about last night's wonderful events.

They stayed at the bar until the sun started to rise into the sky, announcing morning. They were all a little drunk as they left the bar and hauled a cab to bring them back to the apartment. When they did arrive to the apartment building, they all noisily made their way upstairs to the apartment. Yes, it was a very fun and crazy night, ending with some wonderful sex for Draco and Ginny.

Ginny groaned and buried her face into Draco's shoulder. Draco chuckled and kissed her head again.

"I hate morning," Ginny mumbled. She pulled herself closer to Draco, trying to block out all the sun's light.

"Actually," Draco looked over at the clock. "It's three in the afternoon."

Ginny groaned. "Then I hate sunlight," she said grouchily.

Draco chuckled and rubbed her back some more. "So what should we do with the little bit of remaining day?" he asked.

Ginny propped her head up on his chest. "We can go to Central Park and walk around. Get some ice cream," she suggested.

Draco nodded, not really caring what they did, as long as he was with Ginny.

"Okay," Ginny said, pushing herself off the bed. She got up and quickly dressed in bark blue jeans and a red long sleeve shirt. "I'll see if Jesse and Liz want to come."

"Okay," Draco said. "I'll get dressed," he said and got out of bed. He threw on a pair of baggy jeans and a long sleeve, light blue shirt.

Ginny poked her head back in. "We're leaving in five," she said.

----------

Central Park was pretty empty for a Sunday afternoon, especially for a beautiful Sunday in September. The air was warm with a cool breeze and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. It was perfect.

Liz and Jesse went to take a walk around the park by themselves, leaving Ginny and Draco with Chris who had tagged along.

Draco went to buy Ginny an ice cream and left her sitting on the bench alone with Chris.

Ginny never took her eyes off him as he got up and walked to the ice cream trolley. He was everything she ever wanted. She just wished she could open up her heart and let him know how she felt.

"You really love him, don't you?" Chris asked from next to Ginny. He had been watching her and she had been watching Draco. He could read every emotion that passed her face when she looked at him.

Ginny looked over at Chris then quickly looked down at the ground embarrassingly. "Yeah," she said timidly.

Chris smiled at her and patted her hand. "You deserve to be happy Gin," he said.

Ginny looked up at Chris and smiled warmly at him. It was like an understanding that passed between them. There was obviously some tension between them because of what happened three years ago. But it had seemed to be thicker with Draco in the picture. Now it was like both were okay to let go of the grudge they had been holding against each other. Ginny's for Chris cheating on her and Chris for Ginny just leaving and coming back three years later with a new boyfriend.

Ginny patted his hand back. "Thanks Chris."

Draco came back over and held an ice cream sandwich out to Ginny. "Here you go," he said.

Ginny took the bar. "Thanks baby," she said and starting opening the package.

----------

It as the next morning and Draco and Ginny were enjoying a quiet breakfast together, alone. It was a bright and beautiful Monday morning. Liz and Jesse were both at work so Ginny and Draco had the whole apartment to themselves.

But it was too nice to be inside. Again, the weather was perfect. The air was cool and big fluffy clouds sailed through the air.

Ginny was looking through the paper, sipping her coffee, when she came across a small article about an new animal that was just brought into the Bronx Zoo.

"We should go to the zoo," she said, raising her head to meet Draco's eyes. Draco raised an eyebrow and shook his head slowly. "Oh come on! Have you ever been to a zoo?"

Again Draco shook his head. "But I don't think looking at animals through a cage accounts as fun for grown adults," he said.

"Well you never know until you try!" Ginny said, exasperated.

She stood up then pulled Draco to his feet. She grabbed her purse and Draco's wallet off the counter, and then dragged Draco out the door, into the elevator, and out of the building. Then she took him down into the subway. She bought them both a metro card and they hopped onto a subway car, after figuring out which one to take.

"Are we really going to a zoo?" Draco asked, holding onto the rail tightly as the car sped through the tunnel.

Ginny looked up at him from one of the seats. She smiled sweetly at him. "Yes we are!" The train stopped and the doors opened. "This is us," she said, jumping out of her seat. She walked off the train with Draco behind her.

They walked up the stairs to the street where Ginny stopped and looked around. She wasn't too sure where the train was going to stop. But fortunately, the subway came out a little way down the street from the zoo.

"So where is this zoo?" Draco asked from behind her. He was hoping that they got off at the wrong stop and they had to walk twenty blocks and Ginny would just forget about it.

"Right there," Ginny said, pointing to a spot diagonally across from them. She grabbed Draco's hand and dragged him across the street. "I promise you'll have fun," she said once they got there.

----------

Sure, Draco was skeptical at first about the whole 'going to the zoo' thing. The whole idea of looking through cages that had animals in them didn't appeal to him. A zoo was for little kids and their parents.

But to his surprise, he had a good time. He had a very good time. They saw all different types of animals from birds, to lions, to fish. Now Draco had seen animals like this, but he had never seen such a variety of these beautiful animals. He was so used to the magical creatures, that the way these animals lived and looked amazed him.

He also learned a lot about Ginny. He learned that she wanted a monkey as a pet or a chubby pink pig that rolled around in the mud. She also has a phobia of snakes or any type of reptiles. She wouldn't go near the reptile house. She kept at least ten feet between herself and the building.

Draco had chuckled and brought her closer to his side. "And here you are with a Slytherin," he had said to her. She just glared at him.

Ginny had never had as much fun going to the zoo then she had today. Draco was really enjoying himself and that made her have an even better time.

When she lived here, she would come to the Bronx Zoo at least two or three times during the warm months. She loved looking at all the different animals and it still amazed her how they survived being non-magical.

They spent the entire day there. They would walk around and look at all the animals then go back and look at them again. Now they just stepped off the subway and were making their way back to the apartment.

The sun was setting, the pink and purple color shining off Draco's hair. The air was also becoming cooler making Ginny move even closer to Draco for his body heat.

They passed by a tiny park that was taken up by a huge fountain. It was white marble and a shell cup design was mimicked three times. Each time the shell rose higher on the marble piece in the middle, which also had shells carved into it, it decreased in size. Water sprayed out of the top and each level.

Ginny smiled as she looked at the fountain. Memories of splashing around in the fountain came back to her. One of the reasons she bought her flat in England was because it looked over the fountain in the park across the street and it reminded her of New York.

"This way," Ginny said and pulled Draco over to the fountain. She had to go splash around in it like old times.

"What are we doing?" Draco asked, following her.

Ginny looked back at him and smirked. "You'll see," she said. Draco raised a scared eyebrow and watched as Ginny pulled her shoes and socks off. "Take your shoes off" she ordered him.

With his eyebrow still raised, Draco pulled off his sneakers and socks. "Again…what are we doing?" he asked.

"We are going to play in the fountain," Ginny said, giggling. She put her shoes at the edge of the fountain and stepped into it.

"Are you mad?" Draco cried.

Ginny giggled and shook her head. "Not scared of the water, are you Ferret?" she teased. She kicked water onto Draco.

"That's it Weasel!" Draco said, laughing. He jumped into the fountain and started splashing Ginny, who splashed back.

It turned into an all out splashing war between Ginny and Draco. They would splash each other and try to dodge each other's splashes, which wasn't the easiest thing to do. At one point, Draco grabbed Ginny and stuck her under one of the sprays of water, drenching her. But it wasn't like she was wet already. She yelped and tried to get out from under it while Draco just laughed and held her under. Then he let go of her and ran to the other side of the fountain.

"Oh you are gonna get it Malfoy!" Ginny yelled pushing thick wet strands of hair out of her face. But before Ginny could actually retaliate, someone spoke.

"Didn't I tell you that the next time I find you in this fountain, I was gonna have to take you in?"

Ginny stopped whatever movement was going to make and turned around. Standing there with one hand in his pocket was a cop. Ginny smiled and jumped out of the fountain. "Officer Marks!" She cried.

"If it isn't Miss Ginny!" he said smiling back at her. "I could tell it was you by the hair. And you are the only one who I have to tell not to play in the fountain," he chuckled.

Ginny went to hug him but he motioned to her current wet state and shook his head. "I thought you were retiring?"

"I am. This is my last year working," Officer Marks told her. "Where have you been? Kinda quiet without you to stir up some trouble."

Ginny laughed. "Paris and then back home to England," she told him.

Draco walked up behind carrying his shoes and hers. When he heard the cop he thought they were in trouble. Deep, deep, deep trouble. He had jumped out of the fountain right away and was amazed to find that Ginny was on friendly terms with the cop. Actually it was more like he was relived to find that Ginny was on friendly terms with the cop.

"Well who is this young man?" Officer Marks asked looking at Draco.

Ginny looked back and smiled at Draco. She hugged his arm. "Officer Marks this is my boyfriend Draco. Draco this is Officer Marks. If it wasn't for this man right here, I would have spent many nights behind bars," she laughed.

The two many exchanged hellos and a friendly handshake.

"Well I gotta get back to work," Officer Marks said. "I got other people to bust. Don't you go jumping in any more fountains," he said to Ginny waving his finger firmly.

Ginny laughed. "I had to do it like old times," she said shrugging.

Officer Marks laughed. "Take care of yourself Ginny," he said, patting Ginny on the shoulder. "Draco," he said, nodding his head in Draco's direction. He turned and left.

"Bye!" Ginny called after him. "God I miss this," she said, watching Officer Marks disappear around the corner.

"You miss getting caught by the cops?" Draco said teasingly.

"Hey, I was a good girl!" Ginny said in mock defense.

Draco laughed and kissed her head. "Come on, let's go back," he said.

Ginny nodded her head in agreement, now shivering. Maybe it wasn't a good idea jumping in the fountain in the middle of September. Then again, she didn't care; she had fun.

Ginny and Draco put their shoes on. When they were done they stood up. Draco wrapped his arms around a chattering Ginny, and they made their way back to the apartment.
