Bridgette walked into the sitting room later that night, ringing some of the water out of her hair from the melted snow. Her parents were out with the Diggory's, leaving her to entertain Cedric and Leslie.
She sat down on the couch in front of the fire, reaching behind her to get a blanket.
She sighed when she saw that it was too small, throwing it on the floor and getting down onto her knees so she could light a fire in their ancient fireplace, rubbing her hands together once she got one started, and then sitting back down, curling her feet underneath her body.
"Hey Bridgette," Cedric said walking into the room and sitting beside her on the couch, "I brought you some hot chocolate."
"Thanks," she said, taking the warm mug from him, her fingers accidentally brushing against his as she did so.
He smiled and whispered, "Careful, it's hot."
"Ok," she said, slowly blowing on the liquid before she took a sip of it, "you didn't like...drug it or anything did you?" She laughed and looked over at him.
"Dammit, she found me out," he muttered, grinning.
"Jerk," she muttered before drinking more, letting the warm chocolate warm her body.
He chuckled and sipped his hot cocoa before sighing. "Your cousin seems...nice," he said, smiling a little.
"Sure she does," Bridgette replied, drinking some more, she glanced over at him and saw that he was looking at her.
She smiled and looked away, continuing to drink. "Bridgette?" he asked and she turned back to him.
"Yeah?" she replied.
"Here you guys are! I was looking all around! Brrr I'm so cold," Leslie said, walking into the room and sitting next to Cedric, leaning her head against his shoulder.
"We've been here the whole time...I think I told you I'd be in here," Bridgette said, glaring over at Leslie. She didn't know why she was acting this way. Leslie could have Cedric...she didn't care at all, "I'm off to bed guys. Have...fun," Bridgette said, getting up.
"Bye, Honey Bee!" Leslie exclaimed, waving at her.
"Bye," Cedric mumbled, sighing and taking a sip from his mug as Bridgette left the room.
She walked quickly up the stairs, hearing Leslie giggle as she did. She was probably making some wise joke about Bridgette or something; she had always been that way, saying stuff as soon as someone left the room.
Leslie was always a huge flirt, something that had always bothered Bridgette. When they were growing up in New York, Leslie would always steal all the guys from Bridgette.
She sighed as she closed her bedroom door, pulling off all of her clothes and putting on her boxer shorts and a tank top before she snuggled into her covers, falling asleep soon after.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Say goodbye to Cedric, honey, we've got to get going or we'll miss our plane," Tina said gently, seeing that Bridgette was on the verge of tears.
"Mummy, do I have to? Can't I stay with Ceddie and Amos and Diane?" Bridgette asked, turning around to look up at Tina.
"No sweetie…you have to come with daddy and I, we've talked about this honey," Tina said softly.
Bridgette pouted even more and sniffed before turning around to face Cedric. "B...bye Cedric," she said softly, her eyes downcast.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bridgette slowly started to get up, throwing her covers aside as she stood up, her mind still trapped in the dream. She stumbled out of bed and slowly made her way out of her room.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Don't be sad, Bee Bee, we'll see each other again," Cedric said, trying to get her to look at him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She pushed open Cedric's door and lay down on the bed next to him, causing him to stir.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm going to miss you Ceddie," she cried, throwing her arms around him and crying before pulling back and pressing her young lips on his.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Little did Bridgette know that she was doing this in reality too.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bee, sweetheart, it's time to go!" Tina called and Bridgette kissed Cedric one last time before getting into the car behind her mother, climbing to the back seat and waving sadly to Cedric from the back window.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bridgette?" Cedric asked, shaking her awake.
"Mmmm, don't...wanna go," she mumbled, throwing her arms around his neck subconsciously and resting her cheek on his chest.
"Bridgette," he said, trying to get her awake but she just pulled him closer. He could have sworn she was crying in her sleep.
He shook her gentle a couple more times, "Bridgette, wake up Bee," he said, shaking her.
Her eyes slowly opened and she blinked up at him. "What are you doing in my room?" she asked. She immediately jerked into a sitting position, pulling the covers tight against her chin even though she was dressed.
"This is my room...you just walked in and...Laid down next to me," he said slowly.
"What? Why would I do that?" she asked.
"I don't know…but you were acting weird, maybe you were having a dream, I don't know," Cedric replied. She looked at him strangely before tilting her head to the side and leaning in closer to him.
Cedric instantly leaned toward her and their lips met. Bridgette didn't know whether she should pull back at first, or continue the kiss, so she let her instincts take hold and leaned in a bit more.
Cedric wrapped his arms around her and pressed his tongue against her lips. She opened her mouth for him and moaned as his tongue explored her mouth.
She didn't know why this felt so good, so right, being there in his arms, but it just did. Very slowly, as if it didn't even happen at all, she pushed him down onto the bed, lying on top of him.
If he was even a bit surprised, he didn't show it. His hands moved beneath her shirt and slid up her back as her lips moved down to his neck.
His hands slowly made their way to the front of her body, hesitant at first, but any sign of it disappearing as she moaned with his touch.
His hands left feather light touches on her stomach and breasts, making her extremely horny.
"Oh...Oh Cedric...touch me Cedric," she whispered breathily.
He slowly lifted her t-shirt over her head and threw it to the floor, using one hand to cup her breast.
"Ohhh," she moaned, reaching out and grasping his erection in her hand, smirking softly as she felt how hard he was over his boxers.
He groaned as she slid her hand beneath his boxers and started to stroke him fastly. "Oh God, Bee," he moaned softly.
She grinned and kissed him softly before suddenly getting up and walking out of the room, taking her shirt with her.
"W-What, where are you going?" he asked, sitting up.
"My room," she said simply, an unreadable look on her face.
"But whyyy?" he whined, pouting a little.
"Listen...you're with Heather and...Well yeah," Bridgette said, "Plus...it just, my mom would like it too much I mean...you're just, yeah, bye Cedric."
He opened his mouth to speak but she walked out and closed the door, sighing. She must have been led to him by her dream...but she didn't know why she kissed him.
She REALLY didn't know why she had gone that far with him. She was still heartbroken over Brent. And then there was Anthony...wait, it was only 1:00, that meant it was 8 in America!
She immediately ran to her phone and dialed in his number, waiting anxiously as the dial tone rang. "Hello?" Anthony's voice said.
"Hey, this is Bee," Bridgette said happily, "How are you Anthony?"
"Oh my God, Bee! I'm...I'm great, how are you?" he asked.
"I'm, well...not great," she said, laughing awkwardly. This was the first time she had talked to Anthony since September.
"It's so good to talk to you again," he sighed.
"I know...I've missed you so much," she said quietly so her parents wouldn't hear her.
"What's bothering you Bee?" Anthony asked.
"I...well," she started to say, "I was used, and I'm so confused right now Anthony."
"Tell me what's on your mind Bee," Anthony said softly.
"Well…there was this boy at my school that I liked, and I thought he liked me too. Well…one thing led to another and we ended up sleeping together and then he just left me right after," Bridgette cried.
"Wait, he took your virginity then left?" Anthony asked in shock. Bridgette nodded even though she knew he couldn't see her.
"Yeah and I went to Cedric for comfort and...and now we're on Christmas break and he's staying here and we kissed and I'm just so confused," she said.
"Maybe you should talk to him about it," Anthony suggested slowly.
"He has a girlfriend...Heather I think her name is," Bridgette explained. "And I don't want to be with him! I hate him!"
"Well then, this should be really easy for you to figure out Bee...listen I don't mean to rush you or anything, but I have to go...I'm sorta going on a date," Anthony said.
"Oh...h-have fun," Bridgette said quietly.
"It was really good talking to you...and good luck with everything...bye," Anthony said before they both hung up.
She sighed and put the phone on the cradle before crawling into her covers, looking out the window as snow fell to the ground.
