While I was doing my homework at one of the tables, Draco was giving me a massage. He was sitting in a chair behind me. I couldn't concentrate that well while his hands were on me. I don't know why but today I could not concentrate with him near me. It's not like we were going out or anything.
"Draco, can you..." I started but then he pressed really hard on my lower back where the pain was.
"What?" he asked leaning over the chair he was sitting in.
"Never mind."
Abbie looked over at me and smiled. She mouthed 'I told you!' I glared at her and went back to my paper. After ten more minutes I still couldn't concentrate.
"I'm getting up...I'm going to go to my dorm," I said while getting up. I grabbed my stuff and headed towards the stairs. Draco gave Abbie a look then followed me up the stairs.
He grabbed my arm and made me turn around. "What's wrong? I thought you said that you had a bad back ache."
"I did...I still do but I don't know." I knocked on the brick to get my key forgetting that he was there.
"You don't know what? Did I do something wrong?" He stared at my back starting to get angry.
"No, no, of course not." I turned back around to see in his eyes that he was confused. "It's just today when you were touching me," I looked up into his eyes and touched his arm,"I couldn't concentrate and I don't know why." I shook my head and leaned on the door to my room. "Usually when you touch me I'm fine but when I was sitting there trying to do my homework and you were touching me I couldn't think. I couldn't get my mind onto my paper."
"What does that mean?" he asked putting his hand on the wall still looking confused.
I laughed and looked at him. "I don't know."
He shook his head. "I told you, you drive me crazy."
I grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him towards me. I smiled at him and he smiled back. "You know you like it."
"I think..."he started and leaned closer to me. "I'm starting to drive you crazy just by touching you." He put his hands on my waist and I shivered.
"Don't even try it, Draco." I glared at him.
"Try what?" he asked so innocently. He grabbed my key out of my hand and unlocked the door.
"What are you doing?" I asked as he slowly pushed me into my room and he came in with me.
"Nothing." He closed the door behind him and turned on the light. "I've just never seen your room. You've seen mine and I've never seen yours."
"Uh, huh," I said putting my books down not believing him. I turned around and saw him relaxing on my bed. "Do you mind?" I asked laughing.
I walked over to the bed while he was still on it and lied down with him. He grabbed your brown bear that you've had for thirteen years and looked at it.
"That's Dragon," I said taking him.
"You named a bear, Dragon?" he asked laying on his side to get a view of me.
"Yes, I don't know why either. I guess because I saw..."I looked over and smiled at him.
"You saw what?"
"I saw Draco, the dragon, in the sky. You know the star?"
"Yeah, I do. Kind of funny really."
"Yeah." I said blushing a bit. I don't blush.
I turned to my side holding Dragon in my arms and stared at him. He kissed my forehead and looked over at my nightstand to see what time it was when he saw a picture of three people. One he noticed was Snape and he looked happy?
"Who's this?" he asked pointing to the woman next to Snape.
I looked at it and took it from him. "Th-that's my mom."
"And is that you?" he asked pointing to a younger version of me.
"Yeah." I sat up staring at the picture. I put my hand on it and rubbed my moms face. "She was so beautiful and my dad was so happy." I felt tears threatening to come into my eyes. I felt myself holding Dragon close to me now. I felt Draco sit up next to me. He was staring at me. I looked at him and smiled a little bit. "Like I said before, you're lucky to have a big family. Some just,"I looked at the picture again and a tear rolled down my cheek. "Some people don't have that kind of luck."
"Alexis..." He wiped the tear away.
I looked up at him and smiled. "Yeah?"
"Do you mind if I ask how your mum died?" He put his hand on my knee and I smiled again.
"She was sick. My mom never liked to show weakness and she never complained. No one knew except for my dad." I felt tears threatening to fall from my eyes now. "I remember some nights they would argue about her sickness. He would make potions and want her to take them but she didn't want to. She said it was the way life was. He would argue back how she would be leaving me and him. She would be leaving a lot...And all she would say is," I looked up into Dracos eyes and tried to smile but my bottom lip started to tremble and tears sprang from my eyes,"That's life."
Draco leaned in towards me and hugged me. I cried into his shoulder and I didn't mean to. I hate crying infront of people. It shows weakness, I guess I was like my mother. I let go of Draco and wiped my tears.
"I'm sorry, I hate showing weakness."
I looked into his eyes. "Like your mother?"
"I guess I am like her."
"I think you may be stronger and more stubborn than her but that's why I like you."
I smiled up at him and he kissed me. He kissed me with...I don't know what. It's something I have never felt before. I kissed him back and put my hand on his cheek. The kiss depend and I felt his hand on my waist. He went to move in closer to me and we both felt something in our way. We let go of each other and looked down to see Dragon in our way. I giggled and he laughed a little boyish laugh.
"I think I better get going anyway. It's getting late," he said while getting off the bed. I put my picture back and kept holding Dragon as I walked him over to the door. Before he opened it he turned around and put his finger under my chin. I looked up while it was still under my chin and smiled at him. He kissed me softly and said,"No more crying in my presence, it makes my heart melt."
My smile turned into a grin and I nodded.
"One more thing," he said. "Would you do me the favor of accompanying to the Seventh Year Dance?"
I bit my bottom lip and looked up at him with my cute eyes.
"Is that a yes?" he asked smirking.
"Yes."
He kissed me once more and left. I locked my door and leaned against it. I can't believe I just spilled my heart out to this boy.
