Chapter 14:
Although Hermione had two of her friends with her, she was still shaking from head to toe. What if Ron doesn't like her? what if he thinks she is crazy? Hermione thought about all this when two voices came into her head.
Oh mione, stop shaking! just relax! you don't have anything to lose!
yeah hermione. listen to ginny.
Hermione nodded sadly then something suddenly dawned on her. did ky just read her thoughts? she looked over at ky who was smiling widely. she looked over at ginny questionably. ginny smiled and nodded. she whispered, "all my girl cousins can." hermione nodded understandably. here goes nothing. she thought. she took a deep breath as she, ginny, and ky reached the boys. they unlinked their arms as hermione and ky went to pay for the dress. ginny walked over to harry and stood on her tip toes and kissed him on the cheek then on her way down to her normal height, she whispered in his ear, "wanna go for a walk?"
"anything for you hun." was harry's reply.
"you guys are so corny!" ron said looking disgusted.
"after what you just said..." if looks could kill, ron would've killed harry right then and there. ginny looked confused as she walked out. waiting for an explanation, she looked expectantly at harry who avoided her eyes. his weakness was ginny's pout which she put on right now.
"god gin. don't make me tell! ron will kill me!" harry asked her pleadingly.
"please harry?" ginny begged. harry sighed.
"fine but promise you won't tell ron i told you?"
"promise."
"ron...erm...sorta...er...umm...likes...hermione." harry endedin a tone barely above audible.
"soooo ron is in like with hermione?" ginny asked grinning madly.
"fine fine. he loves her but shhhhh."
meanwhile, ron sat impatiently in the store as hermione and ky paid. 'god why does she have to look so pretty!'ron thought to himself. ky turned around and looked at him funny. damn i forgot!he turned around and faced the other direction so that he didn't have to look ky in the eye. (a/n: that rhymes lol!) he heard the girls coming towards him and stood up really fast and turned around. just as he turned he collided with hermione.
"oops. sorry mione!" ron cried helping her up off the floor.
"thats okay ron." she gave him a dazzling smile. she reached up and swept some imaginary dust off his shoulder which made him blush.
"awww hermione's flirting with ron! you can't make it anymore obvious hermione!" ky added the last part to add more of a twist.
"KY! you weren't supposed to tell!" hermione exclaimed blushing harder than ron if that was possible.
"oops! it slipped! sorry!" ky said shrugging and walking by and out the door. hermione followed but was stopped by ron.
"wait. hermione...is that true?" ron asked hesitantly.
"well umm..." she said shifting her gaze. uh-oh! the plan is getting mixed up! ky help m-. her thoughts were cut off when ron leaned down and kissed her. it was the best kiss she had ever gotten. it filled her up from her lips to her toes. she was disappointed when he pulled back.
"sorry mione..." ron muttered as he started to walk out. hermione put an arm on his arm to stop him.
"don't be." and she kissed him again but with more passion. little did they know that 3 pairs of eyes were watching and secretly betting when the wedding would be.
