A/n: Sorry this took so long for me to post, but I had another story to work on. This chapter isn't nearly as long as the first. But enjoy and review anyway.
Chapter Two
I woke to a cool cloth on my forehead, peppermint scented breath tickling my ear. Gasping, I bolted up, immediately laying back down because just then I had gotten a major headache. Groaning, I turned on my side, facing a - get this- smiling Draco. Not smirking. Smiling.
"Are you okay, Ginny?" He asked gently. I closed my eyes, breathing in, and then out.
"I'm not sure…Did I faint?" I asked hopelessly. But I already knew the answer was going to be a yes. Sometimes I just know things.
"Yea you did," Draco said grimly. For someone who usually has a scowl on his face, he can be kinda hot. Whoa. Did I just think that? Shaking my head, my eyes darted around the room, and rested on his face again. Those eyes…I was in love with them. They were so beautiful, switching from happiness to disgust in an instant. Every emotion you could see. I loved his eyes.
"Draco…" I started, but he silenced me. I let out a frustrated sigh. Scratch that last thought about his eyes. This was no time for…ugh…never mind.
"Ginny look. I'm sorry for telling you about my…uhm…feelings for you. I guess I just couldn't help it. You were standing there with this look on your face, looking so…hot…and I -"
I cut him off. "A girl doesn't want to hear she's hot."
He looked surprised. "I meant -"
"She wants to hear she's beautiful," I whispered. I didn't think it was possible, but I think the distance between us was getting closer. I stopped myself from gulping. Usually when I did, it was loud, and anyone in a five foot radius could hear me.
Oh my god. It was. Getting smaller I mean. I did the only thing I could think of: close my eyes, and wait for what was to come.
"You're beautiful."
And then he kissed me. It felt…amazing. There was no other word for it. Even though I knew he was going to kiss me, I was surprised. A thousand thoughts came into my head at once. This is Draco Malfoy. I almost broke the kiss from the thought. So what? It didn't matter. I didn't know if I loved him, but I knew I liked him. A lot. His lips were warm and soft, and I let out a gasp as his tongue rolled across my bottom lip smoothly. I stopped my self from pulling away. Somewhere, deep inside of me, there was a little voice telling me how wrong this was. Telling me to stop, before we take things any further. But I didn't care. Shoving the voice away, I pulled Draco on top of me, opening my mouth, and tasted him as he tasted me.
Even though his breath smelled of peppermint, that wasn't the taste. It tasted good. There was no word for it. It was just so…Draco.
We pulled away for a few breaths of air.
"No," I whispered, shoving him away. I don't know why I did that, but I felt it had to be done. With all these teenage hormones running about the room, I knew that I had to stop it. No matter how much I wanted his lips back on mine.
Draco looked at me for a silent moment and blinked. I turned away.
"I'm sorry," I said, meaning it. "But we can't. And we shouldn't. And you know it."
"Right. We…couldn't." Draco said, all the hope gone from his voice.
"Draco, I'm sorry. Maybe if you were a girl you'd understand!" I said, anger creeping into my voice.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Draco asked, getting up from the bed.
"I don't know, but how you used to treat me all the time, I'd say you were definitely acting like a girl. It seemed like you were PMSing all the time." I said, a small smirk on my face.
"It does not seem like that and you know it!" Draco said, outraged.
"Well you know what, I think it does!" I said, almost laughing.
"Why are you laughing? This isn't funny! If I was a girl…then my hormones would be…very very very wanting."
That did it.
I burst out laughing. I don't know why but this whole fight or whatever is funny. Draco…a girl? That made me laugh even harder.
"I don't think it's funny…" Draco started.
But I couldn't stop. Laughing was my way of relieving all of this stress I was dealing with, and my feelings about Draco at the moment. Imagining Draco as a girl may not have been right, but it kept my insanity.
"I'm…sorry…but…it's…so…damn…FUNNY!" I screeched, clutching my hurting side.
"Well, I don't think it is…If I were to tell you that you acted like a guy, then you would be pretty pissed off at me…" Draco said, and then a smile appeared on his lips. I stopped laughing. Me, acting like a guy? If he started laughing, I would kick him right there.
He kept looking at me for a few quiet moments, and I even began to hear my stomach growl to remind me I hadn't eaten in some time. I could also hear the ticking of the clock that rested above the TV. It almost made me sleepy. And then I began to think that he was just going to sit there, with that dumb smile on his face that made him look…high. Mean, I know, but that's exactly what he looked like, sitting there smiling, that as I began to think about it some more, I almost burst out laughing. But I decided against it, because I didn't want to ruin the…moment, I guess you could call it. So I thought he would stop smiling in a few minutes, and I would be okay, because I would start laughing. Again.
But I really hate being wrong. Because he laughed.
How typical.
