Chapter 4
"What are you talking about?"
"What I'm talking about is the fact that Ginny didn't set you up on the date last night just because she wanted you to get out there again. I asked her to do it because I knew you two were still close. For the past few months I've been thinking about you all the time. I missed seeing you everyday like we did when we were in school. Yes I was an asshole most of the time but I still thought you were pretty. I wanted a chance with you but you and the Weasel were always joined at the hip. Now I'm getting that chance and I refuse to mess it up."
"Draco, I don't know what to say." Hermione just sat in silence for a moment while she thought about everything he had just said. He really did like her. He wasn't trying to humiliate her or trying to get anything from her. At that moment, Hermione had a choice to make. She could either ignore everything he was saying and move on with her life or she could believe him and give into what her heart and body desperately wanted.
Draco turned away from her obviously thinking she didn't feel the same way. Hermione scooted over closer to him and put her hand on his thigh. "What if I like you too? What if I want this just as much as you do?"
He turned to face her. "Really?" Instead of responding, she leaned toward him and claimed his mouth with hers. The kiss started sweet and gentle but soon became heated and filled with desire and need. Hermione wanted more than the kiss and started to unbutton Draco's shirt. He pulled away from the kiss and removed her hands from his chest and slid her back over to her side of the limo. "Miss Granger, we still have a date to go on. I set all this up and I refuse to let it go to waste."
Hermione pouted silently. She was excited for the date but was in the mood for something a little more hands on with Draco. She looked at the beautiful man next to her and asked the first question that popped into her head. "Does this mean we're together?"
"Only if its what you want," he replied. She leaned over, kissed him, and threaded her fingers through his. "I'll take that as a yes," he said with a smile on his face. They rode the rest of the way to their destination with their fingers intertwined and smiling as they talked about their days and anything else they could think of.
After about 20 minutes, Hermione felt the limo coming to a stop. She looked out the window and saw one of her favorite theaters in muggle London. She loved muggle musicals. Part of it was from growing up in the muggle world. But she loved the music so much that she didn't think it would be any different if she had grown up in the wizarding world.
She turned to Draco and smiled. "I love musicals! What one are we seeing?"
"Dirty Dancing - The Story. Have you seen it?"
"No. Isn't it American?"
"Originally, yes. I haven't seen it either." He smiled at her
They went inside the theater and Hermione started to go find seats when Draco grabbed her arm. "You don't think a Malfoy would sit in general seating do you?" he asked with a smirk.
"Of course not. Lead the way." So they went up the stairs to a private box where everything was dark green; the chairs, the carpet, even the opera glasses sitting on their chairs were green. It was true Malfoy style. Hermione couldn't help but laugh. They took their seats just as the curtain rose and the show began.
Throughout the show, Hermione found herself tapping her foot and laughing along with the rest of the audience. How had Draco known that she loved muggle musicals, she wondered. It wasn't something a lot of people knew. Even Ginny didn't know. And Ginny was her best friend. Even though she knew it didn't really matter, Hermione was kind of ashamed of anything that kept her tied to the muggle world. She had been teased about during school, mostly by the man sitting next to her, ironically.
Hermione snuck a glance at Draco and saw him totally absorbed in the music and the story. Who knew that pureblood Draco Malfoy would be one that loved muggle musicals? Hermione couldn't help but giggle. He looked over at her, smiled, and threaded his fingers through hers.
Hermione wondered if this is what it would be like dating Draco. Going out every weekend to someplace high class and classy. The Malfoys were still a very famous and influential family in the wizarding community. If Hermione and Draco got serious and went public, she would have to put up with being in the public eye all the time. Hermione decided she would worry about that when and if the time came. She focused on the musical for the rest of the date and enjoyed the music and dancing.
After it was over Draco led her back to the limo and told the driver to head back to her house. Hermione and Draco sat in silence on the ride there but it wasn't an awkward silence. It was just two people that were comfortable just being near each other and didn't have anything to say.
When they got to Hermione's house, Draco got out and walked Hermione to her door. "Do you wanna come inside?" she asked. They walked inside and immediately her lips were claimed by his in a passionate kiss. He bit down on her bottom lip and she gasped. Draco seized this opportunity to slip his tongue into her mouth and explore every inch of it. Hermione moaned at the sensation.
She tangled her fingers in his silky platinum hair and pressed herself as close against him as she could, feeling his member erect with excitement against her groin. She grinded against him and heard him moan in pleasure. She untangled her fingers from his hair and started to undo his shirt. "Are you sure this is what you want?" he asked.
Sorry for the cliffhanger! If you review, I'll update soon!
