Okay, scrap that last comment I made about this being an epilogue, because I enjoy writing on this way too much! This is gonna be the last chapter and after that there will be an epilogue. (This time though, it's true ;) )
Ginny had forgotten how great it was to get back in action again. And to be honest, it could have been worse, although she could think of five other people she'd rather have had sex with than with Draco Malfoy. He was not bad, oh no, he wasn't bad at all, but he was different from all the other guys she had ever slept with. The point was, even though they had been both in great need of each other, his moves had been gentle all the time, and remarkably enough he had not been selfish and he hadn't tried to hurt her either.
After he rolled off her, she breathed once, she felt great, actually.
"You know, normal people snuggle together after having sex," he said after a while.
"No thanks, we're not normal people," she exclaimed.
"Oh it's funny you refuse my offer because to me you look like a snuggle-after-sex-type."
"I'm not snuggling, not with you," she said, obviously annoyed about the comment he made.
"Weasley, for once, act like a human being and come here."
Ginny shook her head slowly and she moved her legs over the edge of the bed, but before she could get of the bed, Draco had catched her arm.
"Is it because of me, of because you're not in the right mood? I'm afraid I can't change the first reason but I can try to change the second," he said while he moved towards her and touched her chin with his index finger to make her face him.
She stared into his eyes and he stared into hers, that was all they did, and for more than ten seconds their breathing was the only sound to fill the silent room. When Draco closed the gap once again, she thought he was going to kiss her right on the lips, but she wasn't entirely right about that. He planted a chaste kiss on the left corner of her lips very softly, and then he moved his lips to the other corner of her mouth where he kissed her once again, a bit longer this time. He then withdrew his face a few inches, still letting his finger keep contact with her chin.
She grabbed his hand in slow motion and held it with her own, then she cupped his jaw with the other and she kissed him the same way he had done. Only this time, she started in the left corner of his mouth and made a path of kisses further away from his mouth, to his jaw and then back to his mouth again, where she left one soft but lingering kiss.
"Was that enough for you?" she whispered, and she was surprised about how hoarse her voice was.
She didn't wait for him to answer, but she stood up and walked away.
"Where are you going?" he asked, his voice sounding as unsteady as hers, meaning he was affected pretty much as well.
"I'm going to take a shower, if you don't mind," she answered, and added with a hint of a smile, "oh, and before you're going to ask...no, you can't join me."
She walked towards the bathroom and slammed the door behind her and locked it, she hoped he was not going to use alohomora on the door or blow it out or whatever. She rested her back against the cold material of the door, closed her eyes and she touched her lips with her finger. She sighed and realised that there was defininetely no going back to how it was.
That was for later though, now, it was showertime. Before she could step under the showerhead, she heard a muffled knock on the door of their hotelroom. She grinned because Draco was still naked in bed and he had to solve this on his own, she was not going to do it for him.
Somehow he had managed to get to the door without being exposed too much, because fifteen seconds later she heard him opening the door.
"What?" in all those years she'd known him, he had never lost his rudeness against other people. Or against muggles, for that matter.
"I'm sorry sir, but I have to tell you this, as a part of the hotel regulations. People have been complaining about you and your err...roommate, being noisy."
She imagined Draco rolling his eyes.
"Yeah, well, then isolate the walls better" she heard him say. She had to laugh softly, for once in their lives, their thoughts had been the same.
The door slammed and Ginny had to keep her breath down not to laugh out loud. She quickly let the water pour down on her.
After eight minutes she was done. She dried her hair and put on some underwear as fast as she could and opened the door again.
"See? Women can shower fast as well!" she said triumphantly.
Draco ignored her once again and brushed past her. He still smelled of greed and lust, and she thought the smell of it was amazing. She had to hold back her breath not to pin him against the wall right there. She walked away and settled on the bed once again.
He broke his record, because after six minutes he returned from the bathroom again, be it wet and still naked. He didn't seem to care about her seeing him like that anymore, which was pretty rational in a way, but also a bit weird. At least she had the chance to glare at his rather muscular body once more.
"See something you like?" he said while putting on his boxers.
"Oh shut up."
Draco shrugged and asked, out of the blue,
"Did you know you tend to be very vocal during sex? Do you always do that or was it just this time because you liked it so much because the guy you were with was so great?"
"No...yes...I mean...oh shut up already!"
"Don't deny that you liked it, Weasley. 'Cause of you will deny it, I'll ask our neighbours if the noises you made sounded like you enjoyed yourself. I bet that they'd agree with me if I say that those noises sounded like you actually did enjoy yourself."
"You decided to sleep in the bed eventually, it was your own decision! Your own! And you rolled on me at night and there is where it all started!"
"Those are your words, but who insisted that I should sleep in the bed? Who wanted to relieve my sexual tension when I needed it the most? You, Weasley, you," a sly smile appeared on his face, "I thought it meant nothing, unless you really wanted to."
"I didn't insist! And I didn't necessarily want to!"
Draco said nothing but he wiggled with his eyebrows before putting on his shirt and trousers.
"Oh, get the hell out of here, Draco!" she raised her voice.
"It's still Malfoy to you!" he said, also raising his voice, be it in a more more subtle way.
"You didn't seem to care this morning," she remarked and she raised an eyebrow.
This time it was Draco's turn to be embarassed, as his pale cheeks flushed a bit. From his reaction she could tell he was thinking back about that morning, maybe even the details.
Great, now both parties were embarassed.
"I should go," he said, trying not to show how embarassed he was by packing his suitcase.
"I should go, too."
"Good, it's up to you to hand in the roomkey," he stated, while he locked his suitcase and grabbed his long coat that was drying on the heater.
"Fine," Ginny shrugged.
He walked towards the door, but before leaving, he turned around one more time.
"If you ever might need me, to, you know, blow off some steam, you know how to reach me, just send me an owl," he grinned.
Ginny's face reddened again, for another time this day.
"This was just one time! It will never happen again, you hear me? Never!"
"You know what they say: never say never," he grinned, and with that, he opened the door walked away.
Ginny shook her head and dropped her whole body on the bed and placed one hand on her forehead and rubbed it. She realised she still hated Draco, but a part of that hate was replaced by...she didn't actually know what it was. She needed to figure that out sometime, but now was not the right time for this. After five minutes, she stood up, but when she looked out of the window, there was nothing to be seen but a rainy, empty street. She walked back into the room to pack her suitcase and she left.
