"Bridgette, wake up," Cedric said, gently shaking Bridgette awake.
"Whyyy?" she groaned.
"Because it's one in the afternoon," he said.
"Why didn't you say so?" she asked groggily, sitting up, her eyes squinting from the bright light. She slowly got up, stretching a bit before falling back down on the couch and closing her eyes, "I don't care."
"Come on, you can't sleep the day away," he said, laughing.
She turned away from him and pulled the covers over her head. "Five more minutes," she groaned.
"Fine, I'm going to go take a shower," Cedric said, standing up.
Once he was gone she threw the blanket off of herself and got up, yawning and stretching. She ran a hand through her messy hair before heading upstairs to her dorm.
She yawned before opening the door; her eyes shooting wide open as moans filled the room, coming from Alexis' bed.
"Oh God," she whispered, clutching her stomach. "I think I'm gonna be sick!" She turned right around, slamming the door behind her and running from the room.
She leaned against the wall just outside the door, closing her eyes as she got her breath back.
She opened her eyes and walked down the stairs, going over to the boy's dormitory. "Cedric!" she exclaimed, banging on the door.
After a few moments he opened the door in a towel, his body still dripping wet, "What is it Bee?" he asked.
"I...I caught them...oh God, I'm sorry I forgot you were in the shower," she gasped, laughing a little.
"Them? Alexis and Brent? Wow...they really don't wait do they," Cedric said, a frown on his face, "And it's alright...I'm going to go finish my shower now Bee." She laughed a bit before shyly turning around and walking back towards her dorm room.
She put her hand on the doorknob when the door opened and Brent appeared. "Bee..." he began but she pushed past him.
"Get out of my way," she said.
"H--hey Bridge," Alexis said from her bed.
"Try LOCKING the door next time, or at least pulling the curtains shut all the way," Bridgette said as she walked into the bathroom.
When she came out of the bathroom, Alexis was sitting there, waiting for her. "Bridge, we need to talk," she said.
"No, Lexi we don't' need to do anything," Bridgette said, picking up a pair of jeans and a shirt before gong back in the bathroom to change.
"You can't freeze me out forever," Alexis said.
"Yeah, I can!" Bridgette called from in the bathroom.
She quickly pulled her clothes on before walking out of the bathroom and heading straight for the door before Alexis could stop her.
She went down to the common room where Cedric was waiting for her. He patted the seat next to him on the couch and she sat, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Did you talk to Lexi about it?" he asked her.
"No. And I don't plan on talking to her about it, or anything else, ever again, and don't you dare try to talk me into it either Cedric," Bridgette said.
"I won't," he said, wrapping his arm around her.
"Good, because then I would've had to be mad at you," Bridgette said, sighing and taking in his aroma, he mainly smelled of soap, but she liked it. She smiled up at him before placing a kiss on his cheek and resting her cheek on his shoulder, staring into the burning embers of the fire.
July 3rd, 1993
"Bee, Cedric's at the door!" Tina called up the stairs.
"Tell him I'll be right down!" Bridgette exclaimed, putting the final touches on her makeup.
She put another coat of her favorite cherry lip gloss on, rubbing her lips together before slipping on her new green flip flops and running down the stairs.
"Hey!" she exclaimed, running up and hugging Cedric. "Ok, mum, we'll be back before midnight!" she said. "Ok, have fun!" Tina exclaimed, smiling brightly.
Bridgette rolled her eyes before they walked over to Bridgette's car, since Cedric couldn't drive seeing how he had only ever lived in the wizarding world.
Once they were in the car, Cedric leaned over and kissed Bridgette passionately. His lips moved down to her neck and she giggled. "Cedric! Not here!" she exclaimed.
He grinned and she started the car, soon taking off for the nearest cinema. In the 4 or so months that they had been together, they had taken it very slow to say the least, Bridgette not actually kissing him on the lips until the first week of March, let alone French kissing him until the end of April.
"So, are there any good movies out?" Cedric asked. "Well...I heard there's this really good movie that just came out but you wouldn't like it," Bridgette said.
"Oh really? What's it called?" Cedric asked, placing his left hand over her right hand which lay on her lap.
"The Notebook," she said, laughing a little. "It's about this couple who were together for a whole summer and became inseparable but the summer ended and their relationship fell apart." She looked over and laughed at the look on Cedric's face. "See, I told you, you wouldn't like it."
"Well...yeah no, how about...Star Wars? Or that really funny looking movie that just came out, Wedding Crashers?" Cedric asked.
"Wedding Crashers...I've wanted to see that," she said. "It got good reviews...supposed to be really funny."
"Yeah, well I want to see it because Vince Vaughn is the funniest man alive," Cedric said, laughing as they pulled up in front of the cinema a few minutes later.
"I beg to differ...Jimmy Fallon will always be my favorite funny man," Bridgette said, stepping out of the car.
"Yeah, whatever," Cedric said, walking over to her and wrapping his arm around her waist.
"That was fuckin' hilarious!" Bridgette exclaimed as they walked out of the theatre.
"I know! I told you Vince Vaughn was the funniest man alive!" Cedric said, kissing the top of her head as they walked back out to her car, wanting to get out of the sticky heat as soon as possible. It was unusually warm for this time of year.
"You've convinced me!" she said, stepping into the car and putting the key in the ignition.
"It's only 11...we still have an hour to kill, you wanna come over and swim for a little bit?" Cedric asked.
"Sure why not? I'll have to stop by my house to get my suit though," She told him, backing out of the parking spot.
"Ok, no problem," he said, leaning over and kissing her cheek.
She smiled at him before taking off down the road, turning the radio onto her favorite channel and rolling down the window to let some breeze into the car, which didn't have air conditioning.
"I need a new car," she mumbled, laughing a little. She always said that but she never got a new one because her car was from the United States and refused to buy one from the UK because of the seat change.
"That's what you always say," Cedric said, laughing as they pulled up in front of her house.
"Ok, shhh, my parent's go to bed early most of the time," Bridgette said.
"Ok," Cedric whispered as they got out of the car. He walked over to her and wrapped his arm around her waist as they walked up to her house.
She slowly opened up the house, which was dead silent when she walked in. They carefully made their way upstairs to her room; her parent's room was downstairs so they'd have to be careful not to make any noise when they walked over it.
She turned to Cedric and pressed a finger to her lips as she slowly opened her bedroom door.
Once inside her room she sighed and walked over to her dresser, opening the drawer that held all of her bathing suits.
He smiled and walked up behind her, sliding his arms around her waist, kissing her neck. "Cedric," she whispered. "Not here! They might wake up!" Cedric kissed her one more time before moving back and sitting down on the bed.
She sighed and closed her eyes, randomly pulling out a swimsuit, she couldn't see it anyways since her room was so dark, and then she took Cedric's hand and led him back downstairs.
They tiptoed back down the stairs and outside, crossing the street to Cedric's house.
"You can change in the pool house, I'm going to go upstairs and get my suit," he told her, pointing to the pool house in his backyard.
"Ok," she said, leaning up to kiss him before going into the backyard.
She made her way silently into the pool house, taking off all of her clothes once inside.
She pulled the bikini bottoms up her legs and held her top over her front, groaning when she realized it needed to be tied.
She held it over the front of her body, moving aside the curtains of the pool house so she could see outside, sighing when she saw Cedric come outside in his swim trunks.
She stepped out and waved Cedric over. "It needs to be tied," she said, smiling at him.
He grinned, setting the towels down before walking up behind her and tying both of the ties securely in place, "Is that good?" he whispered.
"Yeah," she said, his voice sending shivers down her spine.
"You can't possibly be cold, it's so fucking hot out here," Cedric said, laughing a bit as he felt her shiver.
"I'm fine," she said, smiling up at him. They walked over to the edge of the pool and Bridgette skimmed her foot along the surface. "It's cold," she said. He grinned and pushed her in.
She emerged a second later, gasping, "Bastard!" she exclaimed quietly, swimming over to the other side of the pool as he jumped in.
"I'm sorry, the opportunity was just there," he said, laughing.
"Yeah, sure whatever," she mumbled, swimming around and trying to warm herself up; the water surprisingly freezing.
"The water isn't that cold," Cedric said, swimming over to her.
"It is too!" she replied, swimming away from him.
"Is noooot!" he exclaimed, splashing water at her.
"Stop!" she shrieked, swimming away as fast as she could, laughing a bit as she did.
He splashed her again, swimming even faster to catch up to her.
She laughed and hopped out of the pool as she got to the side, sticking her tongue out at him once she was out.
He laughed and swam over to the side of the pool, looking up at her. "Come back, Bee!" he exclaimed. "I'm loooonely."
"I don't appreciate being splashed Cedric," she said, sticking her nose in the air and placing her hands on her hips, though she couldn't keep a smile from reaching her lips.
"I won't splash you anymore," he said, grinning. "I promise." She looked down and smiled, jumping in again.
When she emerged from under the water Cedric smiled at her and backed her against the side of the pool, staring into her eyes.
