think
we left off here...
"You know you're only hurting your son
by this, hes going to live his whole life in a big lie created by his
scrupulous father"
"Sit down Alexia, because I have no patient for stupid women" and I swear I could only glare and sit because other wise Oliver was in danger. All of this felt like some sort of nightmare, a nightmare or a movie, but all I wanted was to desperately wake up and run to Oliver and tell him to forgive me for being so mean to him.
"Ally?"
"Draco, hi" I said smiling, hopefully my smile would
seem real enough.
"I thought you didnt want to talk to me?"
"I told your father to meet us here because Im going to give
you both good news"
"What news?" Draco said
sitting down and looking at me. There was hope in his eyes.
"I
want to marry you, if your offer still stands"
"Are you
serious, Im so happy, you dont know how hard it has been for me to
work when all I can think about is you"
I had to suck up the
words I wanted to scream. I wanted to tell him that his father had
forced me that I would never love him the way I loved Oliver and that
I didnt want to marry him, that I wanted to marry no one except for
Oliver.
"When do you want the wedding to be?" He asked
once we had order something to eat.
"Uh-"
"if
you dont mind me saying I think the wedding should be in less than 3
weeks because this wedding has already been held off long enough.
Reporters from the daily prophet have been dying to get a scoop of
you two and before the wedding, Ive already arranged for both of you
to give an interview Wednesday,"
I had to cover my fists
under the table. That was only 2 days from now. "Father I think
Ally wouldnt like that, we want-"
"I think your father
has a good point," I said agreeing with Lucious.
"Are
you sure?"
"Yeah" I said as he grabbed my hand and
squeezed it. I felt so bad because he truly looked happy. I wished I
could feel the same but all I could think about was that if I didnt
agree with everything I would never see Oliver again. And I wouldnt
see him once I married Draco but at least I had the comfort of
knowing he wasnt dead because of me
"I
dont understand why it is you want to marry him, you said-"
"I
was confused Stacie, okay, just leave me alone, I like this dress"
I said looking down.
"That dress, youve tried a million times
and now you want it?"
"Yeah, its just a wedding, Im
only going to use it for a few hours and then Ill be gone
remember?"
She nodded defeated. I could tell she was so
confused and probably thought I was crazy but it wasnt like I could
tell her, not this time, no, I really couldnt.
"Well I
really-"
"Just tell her I want this dress okay?"
"Whats up with you, youre always mad now, its like you
changed"
"Im just in a hurry" to get home and
cry!.
"Okay fine, forget going with me to buy a dress, youre
too angry to be honest"
"God, what do you want me to
say?"
"Tell me why youre going to marry Draco, is it
because Oliver found someone else?"
"No, he can be
happy with who ever he wants, now go and tell the lady that I want
this dress"
Stacie rolled her eyes and walked away leaving
me to punch air and curse out loud.
When
we finally got out of the store Stacie was back down and cool. She
was smiling at me.
"Okay, lets go eat, sorry about you know"
I nodded and sighed.
"Lets go eat, I am so hungry" I
said rubbing my flat stomach.
"What do you want?"
"Food" Stacie chuckled.
"No kidding" She
said sarcastically.
"How about just some fries or something?"
She nodded and ordered.
"Im going to find us a seat" I
said looking around the malls food corner and finally found a place.
It was so crowded I didnt see who happened to be sitting behind me
until I was already sitting and Stacie was making her way back with a
tray of food for the both of us.
"Youre so nice, Oliver"
I turned slowly. It had to be another Oliver, I kept telling myself.
Every girl would be all over him if it was the true Oliver.
But I
was really asking for too much because it was Oliver and he was
wearing a hat and sunglasses so it wasnt easy to tell him apart but I
knew it was my Oliver, I just knew. Especially because he saw me and
stared.
"Oliver?" Katie was waving her hand in his face
but we couldnt break eye contact. I wanted to scream out loud and be
angry at god for putting him in front of me once again, what was
this, some sort of plot from god to break my heart even more.
Especially because Katie was next to him eating and hanging out with
him when I couldve been the one.
"Sorry, Katie, what?"
"Forget it, youve been spacing out all day" She said
and grabbed her soda, she seemed unaware that her boyfriend was
staring at the girl he truly loved, because I knew he still loved me,
no matter what, he loved me, he always would, just like I
would.
"Thanks" I said turning around and grabbing a
fry
. "Do you want to leave?" Stacie whispered,
quietly.
"no, I dont have a reason to" I said and drank
from my soda, but my hands were so shaky that I had to put it
down.
"Why is it that hes always around, I swear its like hes
a stalker" I shook my head.
I dont know, but it doesnt matter
"Then why were you shaking?"
"Because I was cold"
"Oh please you better come up with something better than
that"
"Stacie, please, stop, okay?"
"Fine"
I turned around the corner and headed for the exit when I
felt a hand grab my arm. I knew who it was with out having to turn, I
knew because those fingers felt so soft and warm against my skin.
"Oliver-"
"Talk to me, last time you told me
you hated me, but now youre going to talk to me"I nodded and
looked ahead. Stacie was already walking away. I finally turned and
took my arm back.
