The Lighter Side of the Sex God

Chapter 10

Jacque's POV

"I wonder what's taking Michelle so long." Draco says. "We are almost to the Great Hall and she hasn't caught up yet."

"I don't know. Do you want me to go see?" I ask. I didn't see Ricky come out of class. I hope he's not in the classroom with her. I hope for his sake; Draco will kill him if he touches Michelle.

"Sure, if you don't mind?" He asks. He looks at me with pleading eyes, so I can't possibly say no.

"Not at all." I turn around and quickly walk back to Snape's class.

I was on my way down the stairs to the dungeons when my mind began to wander.

Flashback

"Oh Blaise." I couldn't hold my moans in any longer. The thought of being caught at any moment made the excitement grow higher.

"Mr. Zabini!" Oh shit! Professor Snape swings the broom closet door open and catches Blaise and me in a rather compromising position.

End Flashback

"See you're starting to stutter, your knees are shaking and your breathing is about to get short." A familiar voice says as I near Snape's classroom.

I realize that the voice is coming from inside the classroom. I tip toe to the door.

I peak through the doorway; I see Ricky holding Michelle and he is kissing her!

I move in a little more and push the door. Michelle turns to face me; her face is red and there are marks on her arms from where he was holding her so tight.

I can't believe what I have just witnessed. I have no idea what to say, so I just stare.

Michelle stares back at me but finally says something.

"Please, let me explain." She says begging.

I can tell it wasn't her fault so she really doesn't need to explain.

"There's no need to explain, come on." I motion to her to leave with me. She grabs her stuff and walks towards me.

Ricky grabs her arm; he tends to do that a lot. She turns back to him.

"If you still want that hand, I suggest you remove it now!" She threatens. He smiles and lets go of her.

She walks past me and out the door. I throw Ricky a disgusted look as he stands there looking quite pleased with himself.

He smiles at me and blows me a kiss. I flip him the universal 'fuck you' sign and walk out.

"What happened?" I immediately ask her. We walk fast up the dungeon stairs.

"I don't know, he was standing there with my notebook and then started kissing me. I'm just –I don't know." She says with a sigh, she covers her face and tears well up in her eyes.

"It's okay it wasn't your fault." I try to comfort her.

She looks at me worried, "You can't tell Draco, please."

I know I should tell him but if that's what she wants then I won't. If it were I, I would let Draco rip Ricky to shreds.

"Okay, if you really don't want me to." I say.

"Thank you Jacque, you're amazing." She stops and embraces me.

We continue walking, not saying a word. We walk to Transfiguration; Blaise and Draco are waiting for us.

"So what took you so long, babe?" Draco hugs her and tries to kiss her but she pulls away.

"Nothing it just took me awhile to find my notebook." She says avoiding his eyes.

"Yea, it was clear across the other side of the room." I say trying to help her out.

"Oh, okay." Draco says. I can't believe that he believes our story.

"Let's go to class." She says hurriedly still avoiding Draco's eyes.

Draco looks at Blaise confused so Blaise looks at me for an explanation and all I can do is shrug and walk into class.

Thankfully class hasn't started yet so we aren't late.

Michelle takes the seat next to me and Draco again looks confused. He and Blaise sit in the seats behind us.

"What's going on? Why are you treating Draco like this?" I whisper.

Professor McGonagall clears her throat and glares at me.

"Today we will be trying to turn our partners into coat hangers." She says seriously.

The class laughs a little, but stops when they see the seriousness on her face, which is actually always there.

Professor starts to ramble, so I ask Michelle again what's going on.

"I'm just a little shook up, okay. I don't need Draco trying to shove his tongue down my throat." She says annoyed.

"Sorry but Draco wasn't the one doing that. Why do you stick up for that asshole Ricky any way? Why don't you let Draco beat the shit out of him and be done with it all?" I say a little louder.

"Stay out of it Jacque!" She screams at me.

"Ms. Gentile! Will you please stay quite and pay attention?" McGonagall yells at Michelle.

"Sorry Professor." She says in a low voice.

"Look, Ricky is dangerous, he can do things that I have never seen any one else ever do. He doesn't care about peoples' feelings. He's ruthless. I don't want Draco to get hurt." Michelle whispers after McGonagall continues her lecture.

"That's bull shit Michelle, Draco is stronger than Ricky and he's really good with his wand," Michelle and I giggle for a second at that one, "There's no way Ricky can hurt him."

"Just trust me okay?" She asks.

I know there is nothing to worry about but I also know that she needs to stay away from Ricky and stop saving his ass.

"Okay." I say.

Draco's POV

"So, what is wrong with Michelle?" I ask. I take Jacque aside after class. Michelle and Blaise continue walking to the Great Hall for lunch.

"Nothing, she's fine." Well, that's a lie! Jacque avoids my eyes so she must be lying.

"Why didn't she sit next to me in class? Every thing was fine in Potions but when you two came back from getting her stuff she was acting odd." I say.

I am tired of people not telling me what is going on! She's my girlfriend; I should know what is bothering her.

"We were just talking about the dance and she started feeling ill so that is why she is acting weird." She says.

Well, why didn't they say so? Now I feel bad for accusing her of something.

"Alright, does she need to go to the hospital wing?" I ask Jacque.

"No, no she's alright just hunger probably." She responds rather quickly.

"Okay well let's have lunch then." We start walking toward the Great Hall; we will catch up to Blaise and Michelle soon.

Michelle's POV

I don't know what to do. I love Draco but this is getting too complicated. I didn't do anything and yet I still feel guilty.

Not to mention Draco gets way too jealous and I don't know why. I mean it's not my fault, there is nothing going on. I'm just so confused.

"Are you all right?" Blaise interrupts my thoughts, good thing he did or I might think something I don't want to.

"Erm, yea, I'm fine, just hungry." I smile to cover my stress but I don't think it worked very well.

"Okay. Well were almost at the Great Hall so we can get some food soon." He says caring.

I expect Draco and Jacque will catch up soon. I hope she didn't tell him anything.

"Hey sexy." Someone says behind me; they put their arm around my waist and hold me tight.

I think its Draco but he never puts his arm around my waist; it's always around my neck. He never holds me tightly either.

I look up and it's Ricky! I push his arm off me.

"What the hell are you doing? Don't you get the hint that I'm not into you?" I yell. I am sick and tired of him trying; it gets me nervous when he's around.

He looks at me shocked. I have never actually yelled at him or stood up to him. It is about time that I do though.

He stands there completely stunned. I wait for him to say something.

"Hey, is there a problem here?" Draco and Jacque show up. Draco runs to my side and puts his arm around my neck.

I feel so warm and safe when he does that.

Ricky scowls at Draco, "No problem, but then again why should I answer to a blonde ferret anyways."

The ferret thing is a sweet spot for Draco; I don't know how Ricky found out about it.

I could feel Draco tense so before he could do anything I grab him and head for the Great Hall.

"Come on Draco, he's not worth it." I say loud enough for Ricky to hear me.

I kiss Draco on the cheek and thank him for saving me but for some reason, it doesn't feel right.

"So you're feeling better I see." Draco says. I don't know what he's talking about so I look at Jacque for an explanation.

She looks at me with no expression at all. Thanks for your help, Jacque.

"Erm, yes, I do. Thanks." I say half-heartedly. We head for the Great Hall and begin eating lunch.

The rest of the day is kind of a blur. I wasn't really paying attention to anything that happened. My mind wandered in thoughts of nonsense.

Dear Diary,

I don't know what's wrong with me. I love Draco, but something is pulling me away from him. Not physically but emotionally. It's Ricky. Ever since I saw him this morning, I haven't been my self. I know I've said it all day but he really does something to me. It's like he casts a spell on me; metaphorically of course.

"May I come in?" Draco stands at the door to my room.

"Yea, just a minute," I say finishing my thought in my diary.

I'll write more later.

Always, Michelle.

"So, what's going on?" I ask as he takes a seat next to me.

"I was about to ask you the same thing?" He says.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh, come on, Michelle you know exactly what I'm talking about." He says; this is really annoying how he knows me so well.

"Well obviously I don't if I have no idea what you are talking about." I snap.

"That! That is what I'm talking about; the all of a sudden bitchiness. Something got to you, and I think I know what it was. Or should I say who it is?"

"Now what are you talking about?" I say, playing confused but I'm really not, I know exactly what he's talking about.

"You know what I'm talking about. Ricky. I know what happened to you guys in the past but I thought that was exactly it, the past."

I kiss him, "Look there is nothing wrong, or going on with Ricky and me. It was just a major shock to see him today. Okay?"

"Fine, but you know that you can tell me anything, right?" He says, looking at me with those gorgeous blue eyes. I feel so guilty that I'm not telling him what is bothering me about Ricky, but I can't.

"Yes, of course. Now leave, a girl needs her beauty sleep." I smile.

"Alright if I must, night baby." He pulls me into a long, deep and passionate kiss.

"Goodnight," I say as he walks out.

'Now, what to do?' I ask my self out loud.
