I'm too ashamed to even check the last time I updated :( But I finished one of my other stories, so updates should be a little quicker. Just to recap, Draco found out Ginny just had sex with him to hurt Harry, and he won't forgive Ginny. Ginny stays outside in the cold and begs Draco to let her in but he won't. She passes out and almost freezes to death, and Draco really regrets what he did.
He stays by my bed, stroking my hair and crying softly for what must have been hours. I stay with my eyes shut, in fear he'll realize I'm awake. I want to comfort him, to tell him I don't blame him, that it was my fault for using him, but I can't. I want to tell him I'm in love with him, but I'm too scared he doesn't love me back, and that it's all just guilt.
I gradually relax, and I'm almost asleep when he starts to get out. Instinctively my hand shoots out and grabs his wrist. When I realize what I've done I drop it quickly and feel myself blushing. I feel a hand gently take mine, and I cautiously open my eyes, and he's watching me with a wary expression on his face.
"How long have you been awake?" I don't answer, but he knows anyway. I start to apologize,
"I'm sorry, I was just scared that-" and then I'm cut off by his lips coming down on mine, and through the kiss he tells me what words couldn't have, of his regret and relief, and I try to kiss back reassurance. Our tears mix as his warm mouth warms my still cold one, and his hands wrap themselves in my hair. He pulls back slowly with a soft grin on his face, and he takes my hands again. We both start to speak,
"I can't believe I-"
"I didn't mean to-"
We both laugh, and he takes me in his arms.
"I want to do this right, I can't hurt you anymore."
"I can handle it."
"But I don't want you to have to. I'm going to divorce Astoria, now that I know what love is, I realize that she has no room for it in her heart. I love you, Ginny."
"I love you Draco. Oh, and maybe you should take a shower, you're filthy."
