Of Dates and Agreements

Tonks sat at Headquarters thinking about Remus. She knew he would never ask her on a date but her thoughts kept straying to the "what if plain". Like what if he kissed her that day in the hall? Would he have asked her out then, or apologized? She was leaning towards the latter. After all she had learned about the man he did not seem the type to go for a relationship. She believed that his condition had made him shy towards women.

However, she was young and knew how to gain a man's attention. Making him jealous seemed like a good idea, but, who could she use to make him so. Bill perhaps, no, he was head over heals for that French girl that worked at the bank. Kingsly was married so he was no use for her. Sirius was her cousin, there was just no way, it was to sick to think about.

"Who can I use? Who can I use?" She muttered to her self.

"Who can you use for what?" A voice asked from the doorway.

She fell out of the chair she was laying in backwards with a startled yelp. She looked up from her spot on the floor to see Charlie Weasley grinning like a baboon at her.

Charlie! Why hadn't she thought of him? He was her age and a good looking man. They had attended school together and had briefly dated back in fifth year before they realized they were meant to be friends and nothing more. How do I go about getting him to do it though, would he make fun of me or be shocked with my wanting Remus? Well, there was only one way to find out. After all, she thought to herself, if he laughed she could always Obliviate him later.

"Whotcher Charlie," she said, "Do you feel like going on a date tonight?"

"A what?" he answered back confused

"You know, a date, you take me out to eat, we dance, and then you walk me to my door and kiss me goodnight."

"Tonks are you feeling okay? You just asked me on a date and I thought we made it clear in fifth year that you and I just do not work."

"But I need to go a date with you," I wined.

"Why?" he asked.

"Promise you won't laugh?"

"I will do no such thing. The last time I promised not to laugh and did you hexed me. I learned my lesson."

She knew she had to tell him but she did not have to like it.

"IneedtouseyoutogetRemusjealous," I mumbled hurriedly, turning as red as the man's hair in front of me.

"Come again in English please," he said grinning at my blush.

I gritted my teeth and muttered, "I need to use you to get Remus jealous," and waited for the laughter I knew would be coming. Instead to my surprise he said, "Okay."

"What?" She asked.

"Okay, I'll do it."

"Why?"

"Because you like him and I think you will do well together."

"You know that you will have to play the part right, opening the door, dancing, and the good night kiss."

"Yep, I will pick you up tonight at about six. You may want to wear something nice. I am thinking going to the Wand Tip will do the job nicely. I will drop a couple of hints to Remus about our plans and you just act excited. I guarantee we will make the man so jealous that he will kiss you by tomorrow."

"Thanks, I owe you one," I said softly.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That night I stood in the entrance hall of headquarters in my best dress robes waiting for Charlie to arrive. I saw Remus walk down the stairs. He could not seem to stop staring at me.

"You look breathtaking," he said.

"Thank you," I murmured.

Just then the front door opened almost like I had planned it. In the doorway stood Charlie looking great in his robes. He walked over to me and handed me a dozen roses of various colors and said, "They reminded me of you," and then pulled me into a bone crushing hug that would have done Hagrid proud. He pulled back and said, "You look fabulous," and hugged me again. He held his arm out for me and we left the house both saying goodnight to Remus. The last thing I saw before the door closed was him standing there with a primitive look in his blue eyes. My mission was working.

Remus stood looking at the door that had just closed in his face thinking of the young couple who had just left. When Charlie had told him about his date with Tonks that night he had wanted to rip Charlie's throat out. Though he could not explain why, and just now he had wanted to hurt him more than ever. He walked back up to his room and opened his wardrobe and pulled out his best looking robes. He was going out to dinner tonight. He changed all the while giving himself reasons why this was the right thing to do. Tonks was like family and it was his job to watch out for her when Sirius could not. It was not because he liked her. He finished getting dressed and walked downstairs and out the door and Apparated to the Wand Tip, where he knew they were at. He sat down at the table the host had given him and ordered some wine and then glanced beside him to see Tonks and Charlie laugh about something. He set back and watched the events of the date unfold ignoring the pit of jealously growing in his stomach with each passing moment.

"Tonks, look to your left. I think you have a stalker."

I glanced over and there sitting at a table a few feet away, was Remus, sipping a glass of wine and looking at the menu. I smiled at Charlie, "It's working, its actually working," I said gleefully. Charlie just grinned and whispered.

"Lean over and touch my hand," when I complied he grabbed it and kissed the palm. I heard Remus murmur, "No self control," and grinned and pushed my seat closer to Charlie's.

When dinner arrived, Charlie fed me small bites of his food and I did the same for him. After we ate he asked me to dance. A slow number was playing and I laid my head on his chest and sighed, 'If only he was Remus this night would have been perfect,' I thought to myself.

"Soon, he will be yours soon," Charlie whispered to me.

"He is seething with jealous rage right now by his look. I think its time we leave and go back to your place for that goodnight kiss," I nodded my head in agreement and we went back to our table to gather our things.

Remus sat through dinner, the seed in his stomach growing larger with each glance at the touches the two of them shared. How could he be so open in public for goodness sake? As he watched them dance Charlie whispered something in Tonks ear and they went back to the table to gather there things. Charlie paid the bill and so did he. He got up and followed them out of the Wand Tip straight to Tonks flat where Charlie pushed her against the front door and started to kiss her. This was more then he could bare he walked up to Charlie and said, "Good evening."

Charlie pulled away from Tonks like he had been caught doing something he was not supposed to be doing.

"What are you doing over hear Remus?" asked Tonks.

"Just taking a nightly stroll, it really is lovely outside this evening."

"Well, Tonks, I have to go," said Charlie, "Early day tomorrow," he gave me one more peck and left.

There I stood on my doorstep looking angrily at Remus. Who looked like a chagrined dog. I grinned to myself. He thought I was mad at him for chasing Charlie away, this could be an advantage.

"Before you let out on me, could we go inside so we don't disturb anybody?"

I nodded yes and opened the door. We went in and up the stairs to my flat. I opened the door and shut off the alarms. Before turning to him and doing the best acting I had ever done in my life.

"Remus, I am not a little girl that needs to be looked after. I would appreciate the next time I am on a date with Charlie for you not to follow us around all night. Despite what you think, I have no need for a keeper!" I finished with an expressive sigh.

"I was not following you Tonks, we just happened to be at the same place at the same time."

"A freaky coincidence, I must say."

"Why would I follow you?"

"Remus, why would you be at the Wand Tip without a date?" I asked with a smirk. I knew that I had just won by the blank look on his face and the way his eyes avoided looking into mine. I caught Remus' gaze and held it. There was a gleam in his eye that had not been there before. I waited for the story I was sure I was fixing to hear.

"I was meeting somebody there last night, she did not come. I wonder why? Anyways Charlie Weasley is so immature. Why are you dating him anyways? You could do so much better."

"Why Remus Lupin, if I did not know you better I would think you were jealous of Charlie."

"Me, Jealous?" he scoffed, "Of that immature git, you're kidding right?" He knew he had gone too far when Tonks gave him a glare that could melt a glacier.

"Git! You are calling Charlie Weasley a Git. Am I hearing this correctly? This is coming from the man who is the king of Gits! Charlie Weasley is a gentlemen, something you will never be Remus Lupin! Charlie is caring, gentle, and funny for your information. Not dry all the time like some people I know, and further more, Remus, when I am about to kiss him keep your thoughts inside your head and let me do it! I am a grown woman, not your little sister! I can decide whom I want to kiss and when I want to kiss them! I don't need a protector! I am a grown woman and its time to start treating me like one!" I finished my tirade with a huff and stared at Remus as though daring him to reject what I had just uttered.

"You want me to treat you like a woman?" Remus asked in a deathly calm voice.

"Yeah," I replied.

"Okay, remember you asked for it," he reached out and grabbed the back of my neck pulled my head back and kissed me senseless.

He thought she would pull away, not drag him closer and kiss him more passionately. He was supposed to be teaching her a lesson, but instead, she was teaching him one. Her lips were intoxicating and he could not get enough. She tasted like ice cream on a hot summers day.

Tonks was enjoying the kiss immensely she had dreamed that he would kiss her like this for months. His lips ravaged hers and she answered back with a hunger so intense that it surprised even her. Who would have thought that Remus could kiss like this?

Lupin yanked away from Tonks' lips, good lord the women could kiss. How did this happen? One moment she was yelling and the next they were kissing. He needed to sit down, so he did, right on the floor and she sat next to him.

'Why did you kiss me back?" He asked.

"Because," I said shyly, "I like you."
