Ginny stared blankly at the array of items Draco had given her. "These were all girl's stuffs, does this mean that he knows? What does he expect me to do with these?" thought Ginny. Picking up the box, Ginny headed straight for the blonde's room and walked in without even bothering to knock. That was a huge mistake because she promptly fainted at the image before her. Draco was staring back at her into nothing but a pair of boxers.
"Sorry! I'll wait for you outside," Ginny squealed before running out of the room and slamming the door behind her. Leaning against the door of Draco's room, Ginny felt her face burning, she knew she must have been looking like a ripe tomato then. Suddenly, Ginny felt the door open and she fell backwards into the arms of a warm body.
"Enjoyed the view?" Draco asked.
"Sorry…I…I," Ginny felt herself shiver at the close proximity of Draco, and then she remembered her purpose of barging into the blonde's room. Turning to face the blonde, who now donned a pair of jeans and a simple t-shirt, Ginny held out the box at him.
"What am I suppose to do with this anyway?" Ginny asked in a huff.
"I thought you'd look really nice in that" Draco smirked as he looked at her.
"But…but…I'm suppose to wear that thing? I'd look weird," Ginny blushed and looked away, unable to look straight into his penetrating eyes.
"I thought you looked really good in the dress you wore for the ball?" smirked the blonde.
"But…but that was different. I…I…" Ginny tried to explain but was interrupted by the blonde.
"What's so different? They're both dresses." Draco said matter-of-factly.
"That's not the point. The point is, I can't wear girl's stuff." Ginny pronounced each word clearly.
"But you will," smirked Draco, "For my sake." Then the blonde turned back into his room, closing the door behind him, leaving a completely baffled Ginny Weasley staring blankly at his room door.
"What?!!!" Ginny yelled at the door as soon as she regained her string of thoughts.
"My death. He is definitely going to be the cause of my death. Ooohh…I can't believe him. 'But you will. For my sake.' That's all he says. What makes him so sure anyway?" Ginny huffed and dumped the box on her supposed bed. The contents of the box spilled out giving Ginny a closer look of the dress. Maybe she shouldn't have looked, because the minute she set her eyes on the dress for a second time, she fell in love with it.
It had sleeves which were long and flowed so she didn't have to expose too much skin. "Draco must have realized that I hated to have to expose too much flesh," thought Ginny, "Snap out of it Ginny Weasley. He is not a kind, sweet and understanding person. No, Wait, yes he is….." Ginny debated with her mind for quite some time before taking a third look at the dress.
"It's so pretty and it's comfortable as well. Oh well, might as well wear it," Ginny thought as she gathered the dress, and dug around for her underthings before heading into the bathroom.
Minutes later, she emerged from the bathroom and looked into the full-length mirror that was in her room. The dress fitted her perfectly. It's almost as though Draco had taken her measurements while she was sleeping in his arms. The flowing sleeves made her look as though she were an angel. Just as she was about to slip on the pair of stilettos, a deep male voice spoke.
"Let me help you with that." Turning around, Ginny watched Draco move towards her with elegant steps, dressed in a formal suit with his hair neatly groomed and shining. Draco took hold of her stilettos and slipped them on her feet carefully. Just like a prince putting on a pair of glass slippers for a princess. With that done, Draco took the pearl necklace and draped it around Ginny's neck lightly, as though he were afraid that he might hurt her. Having secured the necklace, Draco turned her around, leaned forward and whispered into her ear, "You're beautiful."
"Thanks." Ginny blushed as she looked away from him. But he wouldn't let her. He brought her head up so that their eyes met.
"Don't look away from me. I want to see your eyes and how much you like me, no, love me. I need to know." Draco spoke with a seriousness Ginny seldom hear. Ginny nodded and waited in silence for him to kiss her like he'd always do, but it never came. Instead, Draco led her down the flight of steps to the dining area.
The flames from the candles that were placed on elaborate stands lighted the area. The long dining table had a set of cutlery and a beautifully sculpted goblet at each end. Draco led Ginny to one end of the table and helped her with the chair as she sat down. Then he proceeded to the other end and sat down.
"You may serve the food," Draco told one of the house elves which were attending to them.
It was the best and most extravagant meal of Ginny's life. Everything in the Malfoy family seemed to be so prim and proper. "I wonder if I'll ever fit in," thought Ginny as she sipped her apple juice form the goblet. "Wait a minute, why would I want to fit in? It's not like I'm going to marry him or something. Oh no, I did not just think that. Marry him??? Now I'm confused." Ginny thought as she blushed.
"I don't recall adding any alcohol into your goblet. Surely apple juice wouldn't be the cause of your unstoppable blush, would it?" Draco smirked as he watched her.
"No…no…I'm fine, I just need…need…some fresh air," Ginny stuttered.
"Is that so? Then maybe we should end this meal prematurely and proceed with the evening's programme," Draco smirked.
"Programme? What's he planning to do? Surely not…He promised not to…he wouldn't…" Ginny thought as she felt herself getting really nervous and nerves were something she didn't like.
"I'm fine with it," Ginny finally said, after she managed to keep her composure.
"Right then, this way please." Draco smirked as he took her hand and led her into a room that had beautifully decorated walls and a small stage.
"Welcome to the ballroom. This is where we Malfoys entertain our guests. You may begin," Draco said as he turned to face the band of elves, which had quietly sneaked on stage while Ginny was busy admiring the walls which had pictures painted on them. Each picture telling a different story about the history of the Malfoys.
Draco took Ginny in his arms and began to twirl her around the room, just like the time when they were at the ball in school. Never breaking their eye contact, Ginny was utterly mesmerized by the mysterious silver orbs, which were staring at her. They were mysterious but also familiar. Suddenly, the music stopped and Draco bent down to capture Ginny's lips with his own.
Shocked by his sudden action, Ginny was unable to think and eventually decided to let her own emotions rule over. She circled her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. He, on the other hand, took it to be a cue to go on and so he did. Deepening the kiss, Draco pulled Ginny nearer with his arm, which were around her waist. But he was caught completely unprepared when Ginny took the initiative to lick his lips, begging entrance to his mouth. She was completely submitting herself to him. This caused the very much male blood in him to surge beyond normal level and he knew he needed dominance. With his tongue, he explored her warm mouth and held her so tight she was practically leaning on him.
Ginny broke off the kiss, gasping and panting.
"I forgot to breath," commented the red head.
"I'm not prepared to let you," smirked the blonde before kissing her again.
"I want you. I want to touch you. If there were a way, I want to mark you and make sure everyone knows you're mine," Draco said between the little kisses that he was planting along Ginny's neck. Ginny nodded, unable to speak as her lines of thought were all in a mess. He sucked hard on one of the sensitive spots on her neck, causing her to gasp. She knew she would have a problem trying to hide the hickey that would form on her neck, but she couldn't care less.
Draco reached to the zip at the back of her dress and tugged at it. This brought Ginny back to her senses. "He mustn't. He'll know I'm a girl and all this will be over" thought Ginny. With that, she jumped away from him.
"I…I'm sorry." Ginny whispered.
"It's okay, I know. You're scared. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. I promise I wouldn't do it again. Come here, I want to kiss you some more." Draco said as he held out his arms to her.
"Stupid, Draco Lucifer Malfoy, You're the dumbest nut head I've ever had the misfortune to meet. She doesn't know that you know. You're suppose to think that she's a boy." Draco mentally berated himself as he waited for Ginny to move towards him.
"Kissing is fine" Ginny smirked before turning to face him.
"Was that a smirk? I must be a bad influence," Draco smirked before bending down to kiss her again.
The night ended when the clock struck twelve, and when Draco suddenly pulled away from Ginny, murmured something about needing sleep and leading her back to her room at top speed.
Meanwhile, Ginny was on her bed, trying to figure out why Draco pulled away in such a haste. "Did I do something wrong? Or will he turn into a vampire a twelve midnight, that's why he wanted me in bed?" All sorts of absurd ideas came to her mind until finally she surrendered to fatigue and fell asleep.
Ginny's Dream
"I want you. I want to touch you. If there were a way, I want to mark you and make sure everyone knows you're mine. I love you, Ginny" said Draco as he leaned forward to kiss her.
end of dream
"What?" Ginny exclaimed as she opened her eyes. "He called me Ginny. He knows."
"Wait a minute, I was dreaming. I'm still in my room. I must have been dreaming," thought Ginny as she fell back into bed.
"That was close. One second late and I'd have been discovered. Stupid Draco, you really shouldn't have barged into her room to tell her you love her and that you know her secret," thought the blonde to himself as he sat on his bed.
"But I can't take it anymore. Don't you see what a kiss has done to me? It was just one kiss and this happens, and I had to send her back to her room. This is so unfair, she's so close and yet I can't touch her the way I want to." Draco thought as he eyed the bulge in his pants.
END OF CHAPTER
Hey to my readers,
How's the chapter? I know how some of you are going to murder me for not letting her find out that he knows her secret. But please dun flame me. I sorta thought it would be a waste to reveal things so quickly. But I promise to end the story at chapter 20, which means everything will be said and done in 5 chapters. As long as there is at least one person reading my story, I'll finish it.
