Those Hazel Eyes

A.N.: I feel so extremely guilty. I know I haven't updated in a while, but I'm in my final year and the work is killing me! I had started typing a new chapter for this story, but then my dad had deleted it. The pain and horror... I also went on vacation, To Montéal. 8 hours in a plain, not so good for my behind, I tell you..

Chapter nine: Kisses like fire

'Come on guys! What's going on? This has been the worst practise ever!' Oliver said, with a very angry look in his sexy eyes. I like it when he's looking at me like that. Well, he's not looking angry just at me. He's sharing the –rrr- look with the whole group.

And practise hasn't been that bad. OK, Fred almost caused Harry to fall of his broom, George threw the Quaffle in Alicia's stomach and I flew right in the arms of Angelina. But for the rest, everything went very smoothly.

'I want another practise tomorrow.'

Fred and George protested very loudly. Alicia almost started crying and Angelina suddenly looked very depressive. I did my best to look very sexy at Oliver. You just have to keep the passion up in a relationship, right? That's what I read in a Muggle magazine. "Be full of surprises.". That's what I'm doing right now... Although I'm not sure it's working. He's just waving with his arms in all directions and ignoring me... While the rest of the team is laughing at me.

'Hit the showers all of you. Same time and place tomorrow.' Oliver said, he turned around angrily and went to the showers himself.

'No making love this evening, Katie.' Fred said while he whistled. 'He's pissed off.'

'Oh, crap. And I was so looking forward to it!' I said, rolling my eyes.

They all must've missed the sarcasm. Alicia and Angelina are staring at me with huge eyes. Fred and George's mouths are hanging meters open.

'What... How... When...' Alicia stammered, while she was looking for support.

'Don't start guys!' I said while I took off my sweaty t-shirt. 'You know very well that Oliver and I didn't do that thing you guys are thinking about.'

'Katie? What's that bruise on your arm?' Fred asked while he bended over to look at my arm.

Oh holy crap! I had been so bloody careful to hide it. 'Oh, nothing. I bumped to my closet a couple of days ago.'

George snorted. 'Come on, Katie. That bruise is way too big for just a little bump. Look, it's the same size as my hand! Did somebody hurt you, Katie?'

'Who has hurt who?' Oliver stood there with only a towel around his waist, his hair dripping and looking so sexy!

'Is somebody going to answer my question?' That shower clearly hadn't cooled him off.

'Oh, it's nothing. Katie just has and enormous bruise on her arm...' I tried to give Fred the death-glare, but he hadn't noticed.

In no time, Oliver stood next to me and had my arm in his hand. He stroked it very gently. 'Who did this, Katie?' He looked up and stared in my eyes.

'I just remembered that I still have some homework to do, right Alicia?' Angelina said very subtle. She dragged the Chaser out. 'Fred, George?'

'Oh, no. We've done all our homework.' They said and kept staring at us.

Angelina pulled her wand and the twins decided it would be safer for their own lives to run back to the Common Room.

Oliver went back to the showers to get dressed. This was my time to escape! I ran to the girl's showers. If I stayed here long enough, he would give up and go back to the castle. Then I can think about a proper excuse.

It's not that I want to lie to Oliver. But I don't want him to get into trouble. I know him well enough that if I tell him the truth, he would kick the living shit out of Diggory's ass. Like in his second year here at Hogwarts. Flint had damaged his broom and Oliver had kicked him in his ding-dong. He had spent the next three weeks in detention with Snape.

I showered for about an hour and a half. It took me a half an hour to get dressed and another twenty minutes to comb my hair. Then you would think he gave up and left for the Common Room?

I didn't see him. He had turned off the lights.

'You won't escape, Kates.'

I think my heart had stopped beating, at that exact moment. 'For the love of Merlin, Oliver. Never do that again!'

He turned on the lights again. 'I'm sorry, love. Let's talk about this while we go back to the castle.'

I went outside and waited for Oliver who was locking the door.

We didn't say much, Oliver only opened his mouth to say the password to the Fat Lady. I flopped into a couch and kicked my shoes off.
Oliver fetched me a glass of water and took the couch in front of me. He didn't say a thing, he just kept staring at me. He is making me feel extremely uncomfortable. Well, this is it then. I don't think he's going to say anything. So I'll say what he wants to hear then.

'Diggory did it last week.' There, I said it. 'Can I go to sleep now?'

Oliver sighed and stood up. 'Why haven't you said this to me last week?'

'Because I know you are impulsive and you would kill Diggory! Not that I'm saying it would be a bad thing, but I don't want you to get into any trouble.'

He sat down beside me and took me in his arms. 'Oh Kates. I can't let the bastard hurt you and do nothing?'

'Yes, you can! I'll deal with this myself.'

'That's what I like about you. You are so independent and strong and so self-sure. This is just the beginning, love. Who knows what he'll do next.' I snuggled in his arms. He stroked my hair and kissed my temple.

'Kates, I love you too much. He has hurt you, and that hurts me. But if you say that you can handle it, I'll let you take care of it.' He looked deeply into my eyes, and I thought that I would die at that very moment.

I'm sorry it's short, and I promise I'll update sooner!
