Hey! Sorry for the extremely long wait, but my life's been a bit chaotic and so I really just couldn't find any time to update. Sorry again and enjoy!

Disclaimer: As usual, I own nothing.

LOTS OF SCOROSE HERE! :D

Rose's POV:
That night I couldn't sleep. Not one wink. Every time I closed my eyes, an image of what happened just a while ago replayed in my mind. Sighing, I sank back into the pillows, trying in vain to get some sleep. HA. Not going to happen with me. Sure enough, as soon as my eyes shut, the images immediately started to replay in my mind.

Him leaning down and kissing me.
On the lips.

Me, standing there shocked, and then.. and then, inevitably kissing him back.
Me, Rose Weasley, kissing Scorpius Malfoy.

Weasley. Malfoy.

!

I'd been kissed before.

It's not like it had been my first kiss. In second year, Jake Truong had kissed me for a dare. At the time, I hadn't known. Of course there was Nicholas. And then.. just now...

But I'd never been affected by a kiss like this one. Never. Never had a kiss left me craving so eagerly for another. Never had any kiss left awake at night. Never had any of those kisses ever felt just so.. so.. just so damn good. Never. Except for now.

There was also something else. I had a boyfriend. I had fucking cheating on my boyfriend... even if it only was a kiss, the guilt in my heart could crush a mountain. Though I knew the guilt no where near outweighed the pleasure I had felt when he had kissed me.

Nicholas's kisses had been sweet and all, but this one... this one had been fast and rushed and needy.. and just made me feel wanted. And the fiery feeling in the pit of my stomach that had still not yet been extinguished.

Sigh.

Too bad we would never work. First of all, he was a Malfoy. Second of all, I didn't even know if he had felt this feeling thing either. Third of all, I had boyfriend. And my boyfriend didn't seem like he was getting bored of me or anything.

Feeling like I had to do something, I got out my bed, wrapped my robe around me, deciding to go drink some water, for my throat and mouth had gone dry just thinking about the kiss.

The pitcher was sitting on the table in the common room with some cups surrounding it but I wasn't alone in the common room. Something else was there. Or should I say someone else.
Guess who?
Scorpius. Just sitting there, looking into the fire. Merlin knew what made me do it, but I went over and sat by him on the couch.
Really.
I should be a Gryffindor.

He turned his head toward me, his eyes stormy and dark. My heart sped up.

"Scorpius-"
"Rose-"
We both began at the same time.
He smirked. Of course. This was Scorpius Malfoy after all. "Ladies first," he said. I took a deep breath. "Well really, all I have is one question."
He raised his eyebrows. "And what might that be, Rose?" "Don't act like you don't know. Don't act like it never happened. Don't you dare Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy. And if you do, so help me, Malfoy. Why in the world did you kiss me?" I asked, my temper already flaring up.

"Well Rosie, it sounds like your complaining it ever happened. Judging by the response that you had given, I was pretty sure you enjoyed it." he retorted, that damn smirk still on his face.

"Ha! Don't give yourself such airs Malfoy. I did not enjoy it."

"Oh, really Weasley?" he retorted, his face moving closer.

Oh, Merlin. He was not. No! He could not be doing it right now. Every instinct in my body screamed at me to run away, and yet I didn't.
His face neared mine, only centimeters away.

"Then tell me to stop," his voice huskier than it had been seconds ago.

His hand slowly cupped my jaw, slowly tracing the outline of it and going up to caress my cheek. He bent his head down, peppering little kisses along my jawline, down to my neck, where he gently bit at the skin there. Oh dear Merlin help me. I couldn't help it. I moaned. Then, laying me down against the couch, he finally, finally pressed his lips to mine. Again. And kissed me. Over and over and over. Then he slowly pressed his body on top of mine, though not quite pressing with his full weight. His lips moved with mine, possessing them with fierce pleasure. His hands slipped under my robe, caressing the bare skin there.
Everywhere his hands touched, heat sparked, not helping the fire in the pit of my stomach. I slid my hands up his back, pressing him down closer to me.
"Rose.." he rasped.

His voice suddenly jerked me out into reality. I pulled away from suddenly. Disentangling our bodies, I got off the couch, spared one glance at his confused, hurt, look, his swollen red lips, and eyes, dark and stormy.

And then, I did the only thing I could think of.

I ran.

-

Naturally he had chased me. And while he was a faster runner than me, I was smaller. I mean like, my body was more petite and tiny than his, so I could hide in little corridors and places where he couldn't see me. So I stayed in my hiding place for a while until I was sure he was gone.

I was so surprised he hadn't heard the loud fast thump thump of my heartbeat. I couldn't let this happen. How could I forget Nicholas? He was nice and sweet and caring. How would he feel if he found out?

So I was walking back when I heard a moan. And then another one. The moan goes, "Oh Nicholas.. don't stop!"

Well, okay you don't need to be a genius to know which Nicholas this girl is moaning about, because there is only one Slytherin Nicholas. I recognized the voice of the girl too: dear ol' Hollowhead.

So I go, following the sounds, and I come into a small little room, and sure enough, it's Nicholas pressing Hollowhead up against the wall, snogging her like there's no tomorrow.

So much for sweet, kind, and caring, huh?

So I kinda try and slip out of there, but my foot crashes into some little bell on the floor, Merlin knows what it was doing there, but anyways, as you probably guessed, it goes bbbrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiingggg.

And I jump like a foot in the air cause it was loud.

And now the two snog buddies are staring at me, and Nicholas goes, "Rose! What are you doing here?"

I snort. I really don't care that I've been cheated on. OK, maybe, I feel some a feeling of ok-maybe-I'm-not-as-pretty-as-her-but-if-you-wanted-to-break-up-you-could-have-told-me-was-I-not-good-enough? Not that I'm complaining, because this whole guilty feeling has vanished with a Poof!

So I just snort again and say,"I could ask you the same thing Mister," and just stalk right out of there, and cool and aloof, not giving a shit.

And when I get back to my bed, safe from anymore snogging incidents, I realize the enormity of the situation I'm in. I know it will be awkward with Nicholas and all.. but then Scorpius?

What are you supposed to say to someone whose been your enemy for like the past 4 years straight and who you end up snogging for like an hour than run off?
Not to mention we're going to have rounds together next week!

It's not like can tell anyone: Zanna will just smirk and say, "I told you so." Maddie... Maddie will just keep trying to pretend that she's not jealous of James's new girlfriend and not really care. Albus... he'll freak out and tell the whole Weasley-Potter clan with that big mouth of his.

Sigh.

With no one to turn to, I just close my eyes, and this time, surprisingly, I fall asleep.

-

A/N: And finally! It's done. You have NO idea how long this chapter took. I'm so happy to finally have some SCOROSE...
WELL... all I can say is sorry for the late update... and PLEASE REVIEW. It'll really make my day!
