Chapter 6: More news for the 'happy couple'

I was awoken from the sunlight peaking through the cracks of the shades to my window. Draco's snores were heard from the other side of my bed and as I was about to get up from lying down, I found that I couldn't. Draco's arm pinned me to the bed whereas it was wrapped around me. I shook the arm and it only made his snores louder. Glimpsing out of the corner of my eye I saw Draco's face practically on my left shoulder.

" Draco," I whispered. He still wouldn't wake. " Draco Malfoy," I said a little louder.

" Jessica, I love you," were his only words, but from what I could see, he was still quite in slumber land. With my free arm, I pushed my elbow into his chest, but merely hard. With an 'oof' and a snort he opened his eyes.

" Draco, um…could you let go of me please? I'd appreciate it," I calmly said. He briskly let go and got out of the bed.

" I'm so sorry," he tried to say.

" It's okay. I understand you were just sleeping." He smiled and I did too.

' Did I just have a nonviolent conversation with Draco?' I asked myself as we walked to his room so he could get his clothes. I watched him rummage through his closet.

" Having troubles?" I asked politely. He turned to me and nodded. I walked to his closet and scoured through it finding odds and ends. I finally chose attire he approved of; blue jeans and a white casual top. We strode back my room and he went in the shower first while I waited. He came out looking really nice and clean cut that I had to compliment. " My don't you look nice." He made a weak smile and paced with me to my closet. I searched for my clothes and I couldn't decide on what to wear and asked Draco to help me.

" It's only fair," I said when he looked bewildered and then shrugged. I set the apparel on the bed; a light blue top with slacks and a white blouse with a black mini skirt.

He gazed at them and after a while he asked, " Do you have something better than this?" I looked at him as if he was crazy, but nodded and he walked into my open closet. I watched him from the threshold and couldn't help but giggle.

' Wait..Jessica…are you giggling?' I asked myself. Draco distracted me from my thoughts when he held up the clothes.

" How's this?" he asked with a look of anxiety. A pair of blue jeans and a black tank top was in his trembling hands.

" It's prefect, Draco," I said and snatched it. Briskly I took a shower and put on the attire. With one last look in the mirror I opened the door and saw Draco's eyes grow wide. " Are you all right?" I queried.

He returned back to normal and said, " Yes, I think..it looks great.." We were still in my room when my mother's voice called us to the dining room.

" JESSICA AND DRACO GET DOWN HERE AND HAVE SOME BREAKFAST! WE NEED TO DISCUSS MORE OF YOUR WEDDING!" Descending the stairs, we found our parents conversing on a matter which they didn't want us to heed whereas they quieted down when we approached the threshold. " Well if it isn't the happy couple! Come, sit we must discuss more of the affairs for your wedding!" My mother motioned for us to sit at two open seats next to each other at the head of the table. Two house elves appeared from the kitchen door with two platters of food. I graciously took a muffin and a cup of coffee as well as waited for my mother to continue with her speech.

" Now Draco and Jessica, we need to determine what you two are doing for your honeymoon," she finally began.

" It'd be wonderful if we could go to America," I uttered after the long silence. I eyed Draco, whom resembled a look of delight.

" Yes, I agree with Jessica. I think we should go to America," he disclosed and waited for our parent's approval. They exchanged looks and nodded.

" I'm glad we got that situated. I would also like to inform you that we're going to the shop today to get the gown and suit for the wedding," she finished and the room was muteness for the rest of breakfast. Narissca and my mother shoed us to the fireplace and handed out the floo-powder.

" We are going to Abella's boutique for Bridal Garments," My mother made known before we left. I was sent through the flames to land into a large shop full of many wedding attires of all colors. Getting off the floor, I waited for everyone to arrive. We roamed through the boutique and my mother showed me many dresses.

" What about this one?" she asked as she held a brown gown in her hands.

" Ew…no mother. I will not wear a brown dress for my wedding," I answered. She inquired on many dresses: a blue one, purple, green, and a pink one. I said, 'No' to all of them leaving my mother to yet again search for another one. Finally after hours of shopping I found one that my mother approved of. It was a white gown with glitter painted into roses. I adored it and broke into a run for the dressing rooms to try it on. The dress was a bit on the tight side of things, near my bosoms to be exact and as I tried to zip the dress up. For some odd reason, it got stuck half way up my back, causing me to attempt to pull it with anxiety. It wouldn't budge and I made a little noise of frustration.

" No need to be upset," a voice uttered. A mirror stood in front of me, and as I gazed upon it, my reflection wasn't alone. Draco's appearance was standing inches from behind me. I jumped and turned around to see his famous smirk, playing on the pale face of his.

" Draco, you're not supposed," I whispered but he put his hand in front of my mouth, quieting me. He beckoned for me to rotate so that my back was to him, letting him to zip up the dress. I felt his fingers tug on the zipper and finally pull it up, but he didn't stop there. After zipping my dress for me, he moved his hand onto the back of my neck causing me to shudder. He chuckled and gazed into the mirror to set his eyes on me, while smirking. I felt my stomach do many somer saults. He rested his hand on my left shoulder and turned me to face him.

Gazing into his eyes, I noticed that there was something different about them. Though it wasn't their appearance that made me anticipate the difference. I could actually see love in his eyes. His head slowly moved so that his face was inches from my ear. " My don't you look stunning," he whispered into it. Goosebumps appeared on my arms and my face became hot. Moving his head back to face me, we were centimeters apart. Suddenly it hit me; I was falling in love with Draco, right there in the dressing room.

" Do you really think so?" I queried. He nodded and aroused his head to touch mine. His lips groped mine and we shared a kiss. Time felt as if it had stopped, for I couldn't remember where I was. It was until I heard my mothers voice filtered the air that I abruptly let go. I gave Draco an anxious look and he returned it with a smile.

" Don't worry, let me guide you," he said and let go of my shoulders. He grabbed my hand and gave it a soft squeeze while leading me out to show the mothers the gown.
