Okay, so, after all this time, I've decided that I have to finish this story. I loved it, and once upon a time, I had great plans for it. So these plans have been brought back to life. I am hoping to finish this story soon. Wish me luck and keep me on it!!!

Previously:
It was the most amazing kiss of her life, so much slower and more passionate than their previous one. Was she supposed to be with Draco? Didn't she love Harry? She didn't know what to think, so she let all her thoughts go and continued kiss the beautiful man on top of her.
Chapter 13
She didn't know how long she had been laying there, him on top of her, kissing her, but it was just in that moment that she noticed his hands roaming all over her semi-naked body. When one brushed a lightly over her breast, she pulled away from him.
"Draco…" She started, but his eyes got wide and he practically jumped off of her and into one of the armchairs closer to the fire.
"I'm sorry, Gin. I don't know what came over me. I just wanted to kiss you so bad and then when I did, I just couldn't stop it was just so…" Draco trailed off, dropping his head into his hands. He looked so pitiful, but she couldn't help but laugh a little. Ginny got up and knelt by his chair, pulling his hands away from his face. She wasn't prepared for the defeated look on his face, the sad look in his eyes.
"Draco, what's wrong? Was the kiss that bad?" She asked, confused.
"I just… It's just…" He shook his head. "I wanted to kiss you, so bad, Gin. But, you…you like Potter, or that guy Cormac…you don't want me. And don't deny it. I saw the look on your face when you pushed me away." She reached her hand up to cup his cheek and smiled softly at him.
"Draco…that song I wrote…it was about you. I am attracted to you, and I've been mulling over it for weeks. I thought I loved Harry, but there's just something about you, something I feel when I'm around you that I need to explore. Our friendship, well, I don't want to ruin it with a relationship, but I don't know how else to find out what's between us." He smiled, but quickly looked confused again.
"Then why did you push me away?" Ginny blushed, all down her body, he noticed because of her limited amount of clothing.
"I…well…I've never done anything but kiss a guy. And even then, I've never done more than just a peck, never snogged anyone. But we were lying there, doing more than I had ever done with a guy, and I felt your hand brush over my…my chest and, well…I got nervous." He laughed.
"I'm sorry, I honestly didn't mean to do that. And I didn't mean to make you nervous. I actually figured you had done a whole lot more with some of your other boyfriends." She shook her head and blushed again. He smiled, leaning to kiss her on the forehead, then stood, pulling her up with him. "So, does this mean you'll allow me to take you out on a date tomorrow night?"
"Sure, Sunshine, I'd love to." Draco smiled again and leaned in to softly kiss her lips.
"Well, we better get some sleep. Go ahead and take my bed. I insist." He lightly pushed her toward his door, but she resisted.
"Only if you'll join me." At that comment, he wiggled his eyebrows. "But no funny business, mister, just sleeping…in the same bed…with you holding me." He laughed.
"Okay, Gin. If you insist."
She liked being held while she slept, Ginny decided. She had been lying awake for twenty minutes or more beside her…friend…boyfriend…she wasn't sure what he was now. But she knew what she wanted, her head spun with thoughts. What did her new…relationship with Draco mean, especially in the case of Harry? Obviously she knew she liked Draco more, but did it mean her feelings for Harry weren't real? Or were they simply platonic?
Ginny shook her head, deciding it didn't matter. She knew the feelings she had for her Sunshine were more than she had ever had for Harry.
Your Sunshine, huh? When did he become yours?
'Last night.' She smiled and slid out of his arms, wanting to take a shower and knowing her bedroom door was unlocked now.
As Draco slowly started to wake up, his thoughts were on the night before, Ginny was his now.
'Gods, I'm dating….well, sort of dating a Weasley.' He smiled. 'I hope my father's turning in his grave right now.' Then he reached out for her, to hold her in his arms again.
His eyes snapped open when his arms encountered empty space and he realized she wasn't there. Had she left in the middle of the night, deciding she liked Potter better, that she didn't want to be with him? Had he scared her? Had the night before been too much for her? He groaned, smacking himself in the head and getting up to take a shower. He had a feeling it was going to be a long day of practice.
He walked to practice weary of the conversations that were sure to take place that day. Draco was mulling over what he would say, how he would make everything right between them, as he walked through the doors of the Great Hall and right into a mass a red hair. As she whipped around, the view didn't change much. Her cheeks were flushed with embarrassment, but she smiled brightly up at him.
"How did you sleep last night, Sunshine?" She asked innocently. He couldn't decide if it was an honest question or if she was just mocking him. He started to throw an insult back at her, but held it back, thinking about what she had told him the night before. Maybe she was as innocent, if not more than she looked. Draco decided the only way to know was to test the waters. He leaned down to kiss her lips softly, cupping her jaw with his hands and tilting it up to meet his own. She responded eagerly, but he could feel that she still had her guard up, she was still nervous about what was happening.
"Amazingly well, Cherry. Where did you disappear to?" He asked, wanting to know why she wasn't by his side when he woke up.
"Sorry, I was just laying there awake for awhile and I didn't want to wake you up, you looked too peaceful. So I went to take a shower." She answered. "You know that Tara was spying on us last night, right? My door was probably unlocked since you kissed me." He just shrugged and smiled, whatever Tara was doing, she could keep up, because he liked it very much.
