This chapter will be shocking…I hope..!
Again the next day, she waited by the window.
She was always sniffing the rose, until it felt limp in her cold fingers...
After the rose had fallen to the floor, she bent down to pick it up.
She brushed the dirt off the pretty blood-red rose and she fixed her eyes outside.
There was a tall figure in the distance.
It was getting closer and closer.
She looked closely...and this time, it was for real.
"DRACO! DRACO!" she gave a shrill shriek and flung the door open.
"Oh! My Hermione!" he gasped, taking a step backwards.
They stayed hugging for a long time.
"Where have you been? I've been waiting for you! For 10 years!"
"I've been busy..." he murmured, and sheltered his head from the rain.
Hermione looked intently at his face, studying every feature closely.
"You haven't changed..." she sighed and hugged him again."Come in! Come in!" she gestured towards the comfortable but tiny living room.
"Well, actually I'm on business, and I've decided to drop by and say hi." he smiled.
At that moment, the chemistry between them had snapped.
That very moment.
Suddenly, another person materialized next to him.
A woman.
"Hey! Drakiepoo! I've parked the car already! Be quick will you? It's started to rain really heavily."
Hermione looked her up and down.
She did not like the look of her.
Just from under her white leather jacket, she wore a halter top that hung low, straining over her voluptuous breasts. Her black jeans were figure-hugging, yet simple. She wore a baseball cap that hid her fiery red hair. She draped an arm over Draco and smiled.
"So...this is the girl?" the woman cringed as she saw her red sweater and baggy pants. "Not a good day is it?" she laughed at her outfit and whispered in his ear.
Draco said nothing, but cleared his throat.
"Hermione, this is Isabella Roberto. Isabella, this is Hermione Granger." he gestured back and forth between the two women, who had already developed a dislike for each other.
"She's...my wife...Isabella is my wife."
Hermione's jaw dropped, and her focus shifted to the 4-karat diamond ring, shining brightly in the light.
She couldn't believe it. All these years of waiting, he finally turns up...just with another woman, who looked very evil.
The heat between Isabella and Hermione was unbearable…it was like Hermione was staring at Isabella with shock, whilst Isabella was casually giving her dirty looks. Draco cleared his throat and interrupted.
"Erm...I think we'd better go Isabella." he said uncomfortably.
"Bye Hermione! It was NICE meeting you." Isabella added sarcastically and giggled at Draco.
"Bye..." Hermione gave a stiff wave and a forced smile.
Then Draco whispered something in Isabella's ear and she frowned, but walked off all the same.
Draco faced Hermione again, and this time, a cool smile was plastered on his face.
"Hermione. You can give me a call whenever you want. We can maybe go grab a bite or something." he handed her a business card and kissed her lightly on the cheek. "It was nice seeing again." He tipped his hat and walked off.
"Is that ALL I am to him? A little kiss?"
She held the card limply in her hand and soft tears began to fall down her pale cheek.
Just in case, Isabella's just a made up character. hehehe! Thanks Amirah for the name!
