Peace out.
An Emerald Ring
Chapter 4: Because It's Sunday
Ginny peeked through half opened eyes around the room, the sun was shining through a small window, illuminating the black stone floor. Suddenly she was aware of the gentle breathing against her hair, and the arms holding her close to...someone.
Ginny's eyes shot open. Something was wrong. She wasn't in her dormitory, and she was being held by strong arms, the man's body moulded to fit hers. Then it all came back...Malfoy. She twisted around in his arms to see if he was awake, and just trying to fool around with her, but his eyes were closed and he was breathing in the tell tale rhythm of sleep.
He looked so...innocent, even the lazy, tired, riddle tongued Malfoy she had spoken with the other night had not looked innocent, but when he slept, he looked like an angel. A look of peace gently caressed all his features, making her wish she could make him this happy when she was awake.Unlike her brothers, he slept silently, he hardly even moved. A piece of hair fell across his face again, just as she remembered the night before. This time though, he was asleep, and there was no reason for her to dampen the urge to brush it away. She she took the small lock of hair gently between her fingers, and lifted it, and placed it with the rest of his hair, and smiled as it just fell back down again. This time, when she brushed it away, his eyes fluttered open, blinking once before he was fully away. He looked into her brown eyes and allowed a small smirk to grace his face.
"Morning Kitten." He whispered. Ginny full out smiled.
"Good morning." She then sat right up and stretched. Pushing the covers off and getting out of bed. She walked over to her cloths and pulled on her robe and shoes.
"Do you have a hair brush I could borrow?" She turned and asked Malfoy, who was still sitting in the bed, watching her.
"You are perfectly groomed Kitten, what do you need a hair brush for?" He asked, and if Ginny hadn't known better, she might have guessed he was being playful.
She just rolled her eyes and smiled.
"I need to get back to the Gryffindor common room, and you promised to walk me." She pointed out.
"It's Sunday." He said, as if this explained everything. He got out of bed and stretched, Ginny was once again struck by how naked his chest was. She turned her head away to hide her blush, but she felt his hand under her chin.
"Should I be flattered by this lovely blush?" He asked, with something half way between a smile and half way between a smirk. Ginny didn't know what to say to that. So, she just repeated her earlier question;
"Do you have a hair brush I could borrow?"
"Why are you leaving?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I need to get back to Gryffindor tower."
"It's Sunday."
Suddenly Ginny was hit with a major flash of Deja vu.
"Argh! We already had this conversation Malfoy!" Ginny snapped, now thoroughly annoyed.
"I know Kitten."
"Oh....Bite me!" She said and turned towards his bathroom to see if she could find the damned hairbrush herself. But she was once again stopped, he put his arm around her waist and gently nipped her ear lobe, then, placing his mouth very close to her ear, he whispered;
"A tempting offer..."
Ginny, though she knew she should be feeling abused and embaressed, maybe even angry, giggle.
"Your in a good mood," She said pulling away and once again heading towards the bathroom.
"Are you going to stay?" He asked.
Ginny suddenly realised that she could show him how infuriating it was to not be given a straight answer.
"It's Sunday." She said, running the brush through her garnet waves.
"Exactly my point, Kitten." He retorted playfully. He really was in a good mood. He didn't know why, but his heart felt light and his troubles small, he really wanted the little lion cub to stay.
She sighed and looked back at him.
'Stay in your place, Kitten'
"Why do you want me to stay?
"Because it's Sunday."
Ginny grinned.
"Oh, I understand now." She said sarcastically.
[A/N] ohhhh! I love my Malfoy and his riddles. Normally, I would think things were going a little too fast, but I think they are going okay for this particular story. Ginny is a naturally trusting girl, and so far, since he saved her, he has been nothing but kind to her, so she figures it would be okay to joke around with him. Draco doesn't know why he is so friendly towards her, but he is realising that he would like to get to know her better...trust is a new thing for him. And Ginny Weasely trusts him. There is my little explanation. No sneek peek for this chapter, as I don't even know what is going to happen. And have you noticed that the line, 'Stay in your place, Kitten,' keeps popping up? hint hint, nudge, nudge

May the stars be with you always.
