"Get a room you two" I heard Fred yell and realised he was talking to Draco and me. Yep, that's right, me and Draco are making out in front of all the Weasleys (except uncle Arthur and aunt Molly) again. Bill and Fleur are having a barbeque so everyone's playing happy couples ... well everyone but Ron and Hermionie; they kept glaring at each other and making snide comments. You know getting a room does sound like a tempting idea.
"Shut up!" I snapped more at my own thoughts than at Fred.
"Wow Keira. Amazing comeback. I'm not sure but that might have been harsh enough to scar me for life." He mocked. I opened my mouth to make some witty smart-arse remark ... only I didn't have one. 'What's wrong with me.'
"Are you ok?" George asked sounding mildly concerned and slightly amused.
"Yeah, you not acting like yourself" Fred added
"Usually you have an answer for everything" George continued
"And you can't shut up even if you wanted to"
"Oh piss off before ... I smash you heads together so hard that you'll ... conjoin and become Siamese bloody twins." I ranted annoyed because they were right.
"Well that was lame" Fred snorted
"But I guess it will have to do." George finished and they wandered off.
"Meh" I whined and buried my head in Draco's shoulder in shame. I heard him chuckle. For some odd reason part of me wanted to laugh too but instead I bit him.
"Hey" he yelled, "What was that for?"
"Just wanted too" I mumbled into his shoulder. I thought he'd say something back but he didn't, so I decided to stay where I was for a while.
"What's wrong?" Draco asked softly.
"Nothing" I sighed.
"Liar" he whispered.
"Really?" I laughed "Me? A liar? That's absurd"
"What's wrong?" he asked again. "Is it the nightmares?" I thought about it for a second, it's true the nightmares I've been having since the Flint fiasco could be the reason for my strange behaviour, not that I'd admit it.
"I'm just stressed, not surprising really" I replied "I'm gonna go get a drink"
"Ok" Draco said not sounding thoroughly convinced as I headed to the kitchen.
A guess a drink was a light understatement, what I should have said was I'm going to the kitchen to down a bottle them relax and take my time wit a second bottle and the grab another bottle on my way out. Not that it matters I guess, I think most people were happy that I was a bit more relaxed. Well when I went back outside I was pleasantly surprised to find Draco and Bill laughing and joking and looking like they'd been friends for years. Instead of interrupting I found someone else to talk to. I was actually having a pleasant conversation with Ginny when another guest arrived. He apologised for being late and made the rounds saying hi to everyone. "Hey Gin" he said once he got to us and gave her a hug and a peck on the cheek. He turned around to greet me and almost managed to hide his shock at seeing me there.
"Potter" I said as a way of greeting not bothering to at least try and sound friendly.
"Grey" he replied icily
"Actually it's Malfoy now" I told him brightly and showed him my ring finger. I couldn't help but laugh when his jaw dropped.
"Your kidding right?" he spat
"No she's not" Draco said from behind me and possessively put his hands on my hips.
"Malfoy" Harry hissed at Draco
"What?" I asked innocently and Harry just glared at me.
"Pott-" Draco started but I elbowed him before he said something stupid
"Be-" I said but was interrupted
"Friendly?!" Draco exclaimed, "Please don't tell me you want me to be friendly to that bastard"
"Hell no" I replied "Just civil, for everyone else's sake"
"Aww look, the Draco Malfoy is on a leash." Harry mocked
"Shut up you prat. My little secret's out and if I were you I'd play nice or else everyone will know yours too" I said viciously.
"You wouldn't" he growled
"Try me" I replied with a grin. I managed to win our staring contest and he stalked off to talk to someone else.
"You just put Potter in his place" Draco said clearly impressed. "I think I underestimated you"
Later I was once again sitting in Draco's lap trying to have a conversation with Charley, Percy and Raia about the recent crackdown on the importation of firewhisky. Only Draco was trying his best to distract me, to put it in simple terms he just wouldn't keep his hands to himself. He even bit me a couple of times and told me he "Just wanted too". He was doing a good job of winding me up. You'd think somebody would have said something about it but no, they just ignored it and carried on with the conversation, apart from Charley who would shoot us glares but that just encouraged Draco.
"Stop it" I hissed so only he could here me.
"Why? It's fun" he said with a smirk.
"No, it's torture" I whined.
"Exactly" he whispered and I felt shivers shoot down my spine. I tried my best to ignore him again but after five minutes I realised I had no chance of managing it.
"Right" I said standing up dragging Draco with me "We should be going, I promised Addie I'd go shopping with her early tomorrow morning so I need to get some sleep."
"But it's seven o'clock" Bill said looking at me with a knowing smile.
"Well I didn't say how early I was meeting Addie" I replied and stuck my tongue out.
"Whatever, G'night Keira." he laughed and then nodded at Draco "Have fun mate"
"Will do" Draco replied before I apparated us home.
When we got home I collapsed on the sofa trying to contain myself. I was so close to jumping on Draco bloody Malfoy it was unreal. He just laughed and sat next to me saying nothing. After a minutes silence I was still struggling to control myself. "Soo Keira ... a knut for your thoughts" he said jokingly probably having a general idea about what I was thinking anyway. I considered telling him exactly what I thought.
"Sod it" I said and swiftly moved across the sofa so I was straddling him and kissed him hungrily. He quickly took control and turned it into one of those rough passionate kisses that leave me breathless and his hands began to wander as I started on his shirt buttons. Then he pulled away slightly. I looked at him puzzled.
"Your not going to change your mind this time are you?" He asked looking at me cautiously like I was a ticking bomb. Instead of answering him I decided to kiss him again. Apparently he was satisfied with this as I felt him smirk and he whispered "Good" as he pulled away and apparated us into the bedroom.
I woke up the next morning feeling happy and like myself again. I wasn't surprised to be using a naked Draco as a pillow. I remembered everything that happened last night and it didn't actually bother me like I thought it would, it didn't bother me at all, I had enjoyed myself. All of the stress that had built up was either gone or just didn't seem to matter. I didn't have a nightmare last night and I didn't have to worry about that stupid bet. 'THE BET!!! I can't believe I forgot about the stupid bet!'
"Draco, wake up" I said nudging him gently.
"Hey Keira" he yawned as he regained consciousness "Your naked"
"As are you" I said smiling. He smirked as he realised what had happened.
"I knew you couldn't resist me" he said cockily
"Are you sure about that, could just be the acts of a desperate woman" I teased
"Yep, I'm sure" he replied and I laughed. "And just so you know, you were worth the wait ... but only just"
"Gee, thanks" I snorted then paused "Soo what was the date yesterday?" I asked because I honestly didn't have a clue.
"Why?" he asked as if it was a stupid question ... which it sort of was.
"I want to know who won the bet" I said getting to the point.
"Oh well ..."
"Get on with it" I whined and prodded him
"Yesterday was one month since we made the bet so I guess you win."
"Seriously?" I asked excitedly, I was quite a competitive person.
"Yes" he sighed.
"So you're my slave for today?"
"Yes" He sighed again
"Awesome" I said ecstatically
