For I Couldn't Live Without You

Extreme Psycho

Chapter Fifteen – He's gonna marry me

"We're going shopping!" Narcissa shouted as she walked into Lucius's room.

The boy groaned before rolling over in his large bed. He pulled the black cotton sheets over his head before muttering something very nasty under his breath.

"Lucy," Narcissa pouted as she moved to light the lamp, "You promised we'd go down to Diagon Alley."

Lucius grumbled before throwing the pillow over his head, "Cissy, it is too early."

Narcissa snorted as she sat on the edge of his bed, "You promised."

"Then later," Lucius yawned as Narcissa pulled the pillow from over his head, "Cissy, no!"

Narcissa giggled before kissing his moist cheek, "I think you were drooling again."

Lucius groaned before rolling away from her, "I hate you."

Narcissa rolled her bright blue eyes before lying down on the bed beside him. She crawled her way to him and kissed the back of his ear gently, "You don't hate me."

"Well right now I hate you," Lucius growled as he pulled his hair over his face, so he wouldn't have to look at her.

Narcissa whimpered in an exaggerated way. She wrapped her arms around his waist and scooted till there was no room between them. Lucius chuckled before grabbing one of her pale hands and kissing the edges of her knuckles.

"See, you love me," Narcissa smiled as he continued to move her fingers along his marble lips.

Lucius nodded before kissing her palm, "Mm-hmm."

"Will you take me to Diagon Alley?" Narcissa asked as she breathed into her ear.

"Will you let me take a shower first?" Lucius whispered causing her to giggle.

Narcissa nodded as her arms moved from around his waist, and she rolled away from his sunken form. He revolved out of the bed and stretched his arm over his head. He then ran his fingers through his snarled hair.

His gray eyes fell on her as she sat happily on top of the sheets. "You can wait in here if you want. I won't be long."

Narcissa nodded happily, "Okay."

"No peeking," Lucius teased before Narcissa threw the pillow over to him. He just laughed as he moved into the bathroom.

She pouted as she fell upon his remain pillows. A smooth laugh left her throat and she smiled as she closed her eyes once again.

Narcissa beamed at Lucius as he led her away from the dress shop. He started muttering about how she didn't need anything new, and then started to pull her by her hand. Once safely away his hand moved more to hold her hand in a gentle embrace.

"We should stick to the list," Lucius suggested as he pale fingers caressed the outside of hers. She giggled as she moved to bump her his against his legs.

"I just wanted a lovely dress," she pouted, "Darlene said, you had something special planned for me."

Lucius rolled his smooth gray eyes, "That girl cannot keep a secret to save her life."

Narcissa smile brightly as she squeezed his hand gently, "I promise to stick to the list."

"No questions about tonight?" Lucius asked as his perfect blond eyebrow arched on his forehead.

Narcissa just gave a flash of a mischievous smile. Lucius face fell into pathetic frown, "She told you?"

"She said we were going out to dinner," Narcissa jumped in her place, "She didn't say where, though?"

Lucius laughed at her wobbling figure, "That I will not tell."

Narcissa pouted before letting her chin rest on Lucius's broad shoulder. Lucius chuckled once again before touching the tip of her nose with his finger, "No pouting, Cissy. This is my surprise"

Narcissa stuck out her lip, but pulled herself away from his body, "You are no fun."

Lucius smiled sadly at her before pulling a small list out of his pocket, "Back to business."

"I'll get the books," Narcissa added happily as she grabbed the list. "I want to pick up that new novel by Jacob Tupelo."

"You and your silly romance books," Lucius stated with another roll of his eyes. "Then I'll go pick up school supplies."

"Awesome," Narcissa smiled before skipping off to the bookstore.

Lucius shook his head in amusement before walking towards another shop.

Narcissa sat on the ground, her back leaned against the edge of the bookshelf. The novel rested in her hand and she bit her lips in rapture as he eyes scanned the pages. Her mind was swimming with the wonderful sentences of the fresh book. She was so absorbed in the pages that she didn't even notice the dark figure walk towards were she sat.

"Is that a wonderful book, Miss Black?" The voice asked darkly. Narcissa jumped at the smooth, cold voice and soon was full of free. She shuttered as her pale blue eyes focused on the older Malfoy standing above her. She gaped at the man and he chuckled cruelly at her form.

"Did I frighten you?"

"What are you doing here?"

Abraxas chuckled darkly again and leaned against the warn bookshelf. "I needed to buy a book; seems you are doing the same thing as well."

Narcissa hated the casual tone of his voice and snorted, "As a matter of fact I'm buying mine and Lucius books."

Abraxas jaw soon set into an angry frown, "So, is my poor excuse for a son here?"

Narcissa rolled her eyes as she stood up with her book in her hand. "I will not have you talk about him in that way."

Abraxas snarled as the girl threw her thin book into her basket, "Still think so highly of him. I thought you'd have your doubts after living with him. But I'm sure his manners of persuasion change your mind every time."

Narcissa gaped at what the older man was implying, "I will have you know that you will not talk to me like that."

"Come now," Abraxas smirked at her obvious discomfort, "There is nothing to be ashamed of. You are both young and full of needs and wants."

Narcissa felt dumbfounded with every moment he continued, "You cannot speak to me like that."

"And what will you do?" Abraxas snarled.

Narcissa hand inched towards her wand and Abraxas face fell into amusement.

"Don't be silly girl," he started coldly, "I don't think you have it in you."

Narcissa dropped her hand, "State what you want?"

"I want nothing," Abraxas replied smoothly, "I'm just concerned with your well-being."

Narcissa mocked his cold laugh before leaning against the bookshelf coolly, "Oh, really?"

"I know Lucius can be difficult," Abraxas added in sympathetic tone.

Narcissa rolled her eyes as she turned away from him.

"He has quite a temper and can lash out at the stupidest things. Have you noticed this?"

Narcissa snorted, "His temper is no match to mine."

Abraxas set his jaw again and Narcissa chuckled at him cruelly. "If that was all, I'll be leaving."

Abraxas fumed as she picked up her basket, "He's won't commit to you."

The low hiss caused Narcissa to stop. Her heart pounded in her chest as the man stopped directly behind her.

"Boy hates commitment," Abraxas smirked, "And that won't change for you. You're his childhood crush, and nothing more. You have fun now, but wait until you want something more—something you cannot have."

"You're wrong," Narcissa whispered. She was unsure whether she believed herself or not. It was all too much.

"Is that so?" Abraxas laughed. "Do you honestly believe he'll change his views for you?"

Narcissa felt her heart fall into her stomach. She tried to grasp for an answer, but everything was failing her. Her heart stopped pumping, her lungs stopped flowing, her feet remained to the ground, and no intelligent thought could be deciphered.

"Leave. Her. Alone," Lucius growled as he came stomping into the store. He pushed his father by the shoulder and the man stumbled away from Narcissa. "I do not want you around her . . . ever!"

Narcissa watched as Abraxas snarled at his son before brushing past them in a fury. He stopped inches from the door to add one last threat, "You will be back, Lucius."

Lucius snorted before watching the man he once called 'father' leave. He then turned to Narcissa and wrapped her in a deep hug. "Ignore him."

Though his words were sincere, Narcissa could not. Her mind fathomed the possibility that her and Lucius would never become more than what they were.

Narcissa threw another dress onto the bed before sinking onto the floor. Her breath was ragged as she brought her legs to her chest and leaned her chin against one of her poorly shaved knees.

I am so stupid. She thought as her crystal blue eyes closed slowly. What Abraxas said means nothing. Absolutely Nothing. So there's no point dwelling on it. Lucius loves me and one day—"Who am I kidding?"

"I don't know what to commit on first," Bellatrix's smooth voice stated as it flowed its way into Narcissa's large room. Blue eyes moved to the rough face of her sister and sighed helplessly.

Bellatrix waltzed into her room and lifted a small pink dress from the bed. "Is there a reason you're in nothing but your knickers?"

Narcissa could hear the amusement in her sister's voice and groaned loudly. "Lucius is taking me to dinner."

"I think he'd like that outfit," Bellatrix teased before moving to her younger sister's closet.

"Ha, ha," Narcissa snapped as she placed her legs straight against the ground. Her eyes searched as he sister rummaged through her closet.

"I haven't seen you in awhile," Narcissa commented, knowing that there was no way to escape her sister now.

"Been out," was Bellatrix's simply reply as she came out with a light blue empire waist gown. "This will do."

Narcissa smiled as he sister snapped her perfect elegant fingers, and made her way to the mirror.

Narcissa followed her sister to the mirror and lifted her arms straight in the air. Bellatrix pulled the tiny dress over her body before lowering her arms.

"Now, maybe you'd like to tell me why you're talking to yourself?"

Narcissa blushed as her sister moved to her vanity and pulled out a smooth silver necklace and two small pearl earrings.

"I meet Abraxas in the bookstore today," Narcissa frowned as she sat on the stool in front of the mirror.

Bellatrix shook her head, causing her long black hair to fly to all sides, "Abraxas is a powerful man. You shouldn't mess with a man like that."

Narcissa growled as Bellatrix slipped on the cold necklace, "He won't leave me alone."

"You know why," Bellatrix added as she gently placed the pearl earrings in place.

Narcissa turned toward her sister, her eyes wide, "The question is how you know?"

Bellatrix shrugged before moving forward and pulling up the sleeve of her left arm. Narcissa watched as the black material moved to expose the soft glimmer of black ink. Her eyes wandered the large skull and the snake coming out of its mouth.

"Mom's going to kill you for getting a tattoo," Narcissa replied as Bellatrix pulled back.

"This is exactly why you shouldn't mess with a man like Abraxas," Bellatrix teased as she pulled down the fabric of her sleeve. "You don't know what he's capable of."

Narcissa frowned deeply before feeling her sister playing with her golden hair, "He told me that Lucius will never marry me."

"We don't know that," Bellatrix replied kindly. Narcissa jumped at her sister's smooth and polite tone. Her sister chuckle deeply, "I love you, Cissy, you know this, right?"

Narcissa let her pale lips curl into a smile, "Well it's hard to tell sometimes."

Bellatrix chuckled again, "Well I do. And I care for Lucius deeply."

"I'm surprise then," Narcissa stated, causing her sister to drop her smooth hair, "That you haven't asked him to join your group."

"I have asked," Bellatrix whispered as she picked up the hair again and curled it around her want. "I just didn't want to upset you."

Narcissa sighed, "It's his decision."

"You have no ploy in the decisions he's already made?" Bellatrix asked coldly as she pinned her sister's hair together.

Narcissa shook her head, "I admit it would scare me . . . but Lucius is free to do as he pleases. I just want him to marry me and love me forever."

Bellatrix smiled, "You truly are silly."

Narcissa stared into the mirror blissfully, "I just know what I want."

Bellatrix stood back, "Lucius cooked you dinner."

Narcissa spun around to face her sister, "What?"

"He learned how to cook last year," Bellatrix shrugged. "He thought you'd like a meal not cooked by house elves."

Narcissa blinked before smiling widely, "Really? He did that for me?"

Bellatrix made an awful gagging sound before walking to the door, "You are a horribly silly girl."

Narcissa ignored her sister and turned back to the mirror. You are dead wrong, Abraxas Malfoy. Lucius will marry me.

Narcissa shoved another piece of sourdough bread into her mouth. She smiled up at Lucius as he giggled at her eager face.

"That good?" Lucius tease as she ate the last remaining bits of her mash potatoes.

Narcissa nodded, "I never knew you could cook."

Her enthusiasm only made his smile widen. He chuckled before leaning over the table to kiss her soft cheek.

Narcissa smiled as she leaned into his silky lips, "It was very good. I hope I'm lucky enough to get dinner again."

Lucius pulled back and nodded, "An occasional thing. It's rather tiresome."

"Its highly impressive," Narcissa smiled as she left her seat to walk around the terrace. Lucius watched her with his thin gray eyes and smiled as she came to stand beside him.

"Why are you doing this?"

Her voice was thin and full of anticipation. He smiled sadly at her before grabbing her pale hand and kissing it gently. "Why did you do all this for me?"

His voice caused shivers to appear up her spin and she had to grab hold of his shoulder. He chuckled and her mind flew to what he was asking: Why did she let him leave here with her? She smiled before sitting on the edge of his knee.

"You know why," Narcissa whispered as she kissed his sturdy jaw line.

Lucius kissed her cheek, "Then you know why I made you dinner."

"Because you love me," Narcissa teased as she laid her head against his shoulder.

He ignored the tease in her voice and nodded his head slowly.

Narcissa smiled as she watched his head nodded to affirm her answer. She blushed as his fingers moved to rub the edges of her cheek.

"Can't believe we go back to school tomorrow," Narcissa sighed as she felt the hand rub light circles on her cheek.

Lucius nodded again as he stared at his fingers, "Another year."

"It's a last year for you," Narcissa laughed before feeling a gapping hole open inside her chest. She pushed down the lump that filled her throat. However, it was too late for gray eyes where looking at her in concern.

"Let's not bring that up now," Lucius suggested as he kissed the tip of her thin nose.

Narcissa nodded, "It just upsets me."

"I won't be far," Lucius shrugged as she lifted her head to stare into her eyes.

Narcissa nodded again as she rested her forehead against his. "I really do love you."

Lucius smiled before letting his lips glide over her cool red ones. The moment they connected she pushed herself closer to him. She twisted her fingers into his light blond hair in order to bring herself closer. Lucius wrapped his hand around her waist before pulling back.

Narcissa shook her head in disappointment before kissing his lips lightly again. Lucius chuckled around her lips before puller closer then she was before.

A/N: I really like this chapter. I like the way the way Lucius and Narcissa can both cause Abraxas some pain. I love the way that Bellatrix isn't crazy yet. I know that many have been asking how Lucius is going to be a Death Eater. Well it's complicated—just kidding. I have it all worked out and it's coming soon. Things will get nasty soon before they get hurray!

I appreciate all of your reviews, and hope some more for this chapter. Please continue reading. And remember I love you—Extreme Psycho.
