"Are you sure there's no one in there?"
"Merlin, I don't know. I've only checked like five times."
"Fuck off with your sarcasm."
How I even got myself into this mess is unknown? Well, not exactly. Though it would make me seem more sensible is that were the case. I'm sitting here, with Scorpius Malfoy, waiting for my chance to try and get some boy, who's supposedly gay, to kiss me. Sometimes I wonder if I'm as smart as everyone says I am. It doesn't exactly seem like it. Unless taking every dare someone throws at you is smart. Next thing you know, I'll be jumping off some tall building.
"I don't have all day." He said with an exaggerated sigh.
He had been complaining for the last few minutes. I couldn't wait to just get this over with and win so he'll shut up. So I got to work. Shrugging my robes off I smoothed out my skintight dress. Step one to seducing someone: Look as sexy as you can. Well, that was Annabeth's advice. She even made me go as far as wearing these little black pumps. I was surprised I could even walk. This is not my thing.
"Alright, before I go in there... when I wave my hand, you interrupt. Easy."
"Sure." He whispered before reaching out and pulling one of the loose straps of my dress onto my shoulder. "You look... nice. Good luck."
Ignoring the heat rising to my cheeks I turned away from him and took deep breath. Wouldn't you be nervous too? When I opened the door the silence was overwhelming. I walked over to Davis as silent as I could and when I sat down on the table right in front of him my flirtatious side kicked in. Losing to a Malfoy is truly unacceptable so I was going to win one way or another.
"Hi, Landon."
"Uh..." His eyes flickered up and down my body before looking away and I knew this was going to be easy. "H-hi, Rose."
"Relax." I said slowly. "I don't bite... unless you want me to."
The way he started shifting in his seat I could tell he was nervous. He doesn't get much attention from girls since the rumors started going around so this was something different for him. I guess you could think of this as helping him because me flirting with him is definitely going to give him a confidence boost. Maybe. I don't really care, I just wanna win.
"D-do you want something from me?" He asked still looking anywhere but my face.
"Yes. I've heard the rumors going around. I want to know... if they're true because to be honest, I sort of have a crush on you." Right now you're probably thinking something along the lines of: "Oh, she's such a bitch. She's leading him on." but I'm not. At one time I did have a crush on him and if he were to ask me out after this whole dare thing I wouldn't reject him. He's a cutie.
"No. They're not true. I just don't have time to prove them wrong. It's all pretty stupid if you ask me. Three-fourths of the people who say that don't even know me but people are so gullible. Not to mention the fact that I've went out with Lorelei before."
See, I told you. He's not gay. That doesn't mean he's going to be willing to kiss me though. At least I know that I was right. I have to get some points for that right. One hundred points for Gryffindor for proving stupid people wrong. You may all thank Miss Weasley for this fine discovery and I believe everyone should pay their respects to her and apologize to Landon Davis.
"Here's your chance to prove them wrong." I leaned forward, one hand around his neck, about three inches away from his lips.
He hesitated for a second and tried to move away before saying, "Uh. Are-Aren't you and Scorpius Malfoy t-together or something? I really don't want to come in between that. I saw you guys in the Great Hall... seems like you guys are dating. I don't want to be included in your games. So maybe I'll wait until next time? I mean you're beautiful and everything but-"
"It's no problem. We're not even friends." I cut him off because he was talking too much. Funny how he could go from shy to outgoing.
"I don't know. You guys seem like you're... I don't know. Enemies with benefits? I guess."
Honestly, even he thinks me and Scorpius are a fucking couple or something. It's really starting to piss me off because there is nothing going on between us. The next person who suggests we are, or should, get together then I'm going to hex them. Family and friends included.
"Not even close." I said running my fingers through his black hair. "Talk about it later."
"Sorry, but I don't believe you. I see the way he looks at you. Kind of like he knows something that no one else does. Like he claims you. And then you look him like you have him and you're never going to let him go. You're not fooling any-"
Some people just talk too much. Landon should be added to that list so I clamped my hand over his mouth. I definitely do NOT look at Scorpius like 'I'm never going to let him go'. More importantly, what the hell does he mean we're not fooling anyone? We're not trying to fool anyone. There's not even a WE in this whole situation. If he thinks this then there's definitely other people who think the same thing.
"This is the part where you shut up and kiss me. Your mouth is not of much use when you're talking about me and someone else."
Whatever he tried to say was muffled and I was glad I couldn't hear it because it would probably just increase my anger at the moment. I was here to win something not to talk about me and Scorpius. So naturally straightforward was my next option. Grabbing his hands I placed them on my waist before leaning in to whisper in his ear, "You only get one shot. Don't miss your chance."
"Only because I've heard you're a good kisser." And he brought his hands up to my face and kissed. It felt kind of wrong for some reason. Kind of like I was cheating or something. Weird. After a few moments of kissing, I pushed his face into my neck and waved my hand for Scorpius to come interrupt. He came a little faster than I thought.
"Ahem. If you two are quite done, Albus is looking for Rose." His smile was a little too happy for someone who just lost a bet.
Landon looked absolutely embarrassed and a little scared. I guess he was scared that maybe me and Scorpius were actually a couple and he would hex him or something but that wouldn't happen. Hopping off the table, I blew him a kiss.
"Bye, Landon. I'll see you later. We'll pick up where we left off." Merlin that makes me sound like a freaking slut or something.
After we got outside library I stuck my tongue out at Scorpius. I won. He lost. Now I get what I want. Hmm. Any suggestions about what I should ask him for or get him to do? Don't be afraid to tell me. I don't really have any ideas.
"Do me a favor and unzip me?" I asked and turned away from him.
"I'm sorry, what?"
"Unzip my dress."
"We're in the halls!" He whispered and I knew he had to be looking around. I don't see what the big deal is honestly. At least everyone was sleep, we came here a little early to catch Landon. If I were a guy and some girl asked me to unzip her dress I wouldn't think twice about it. You know since all boys think about is sex. Or so I've heard constantly from my mother and father since about two years ago. I think James told me that too, once.
"If you're so worried hurry up before someone comes!"
Then I felt his hands on my back before he started to pull the zipper down. The only sound in the halls was the sound of that zipper coming down so slowly. I think he was trying to make as little noise as possible but it definitely wasn't working. If anything it sounded like a chainsaw. Not to mention the fact that his fingers seemed to be making way too much contact with my skin. And when he pulled the zipper below my waist I stopped breathing. The air was heavy between us... tension.
"Done."
"Uh... thanks."
"My eyes are closed so you don't have to worry or anything."
True to his word, when I turned around his eyes were closed. Letting my dress fall, I was standing half-naked in the hallway so I hurriedly grabbed my skirt out of my bag and pulled it on. What do you think I'm going to do? Stand there? Yeah, right. That's the last thing I want to do. Shouldn't be doing it in the first place. Somewhere between buttoning and reaching for my shirt I had said okay and Scorpius had taken that as permission to open his eyes. So when I turned around and met his eyes my hand immediately went to cover them.
"Thought you'd get a peek?" I asked. Shoving one arm through my shirt and then switching to cover his eyes while I put my other arm through.
"Thought you'd let me?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
No really. What is that supposed to mean? Is he implying that I'm sort of whore or something? That's just mean. I am not a whore in the least. Yes, I kiss lots of boys, but not lately. At least I'm not going around kissing all these boys while I'm in a relationship.
"Oh, nothing." Was his reply.
"If it was nothing then why would you bring it up?"
"If anything you brought it up."
"Oh, yeah. Just blame me for everything." I countered and rolled my eyes even though I knew he couldn't see me.
Before he could catch another glimpse I spun around and went to work buttoning my shirt as fast as I could. Which ended up being not fast at all because my fingers kept slipping and at one point I had missed a button and had to start all over. Wait, why was I buttoning my shirt in the first place? Why was I getting dressed in the halls? Because, like I said before, I'm killing two birds with one stone. I'm trying to seduce Scorpius at the same time since he basically said that I couldn't.
"Let me help."
I wasn't sure if I had heard right but I got my answer when I felt his arms wrap around me from behind. Then I watched as he buttoned my shirt for me, his chin resting lightly on my shoulder. Much faster than I could do. At first I didn't really care but when he got higher his hands brushed against my chest and I stopped breathing again and tensed. Yeah, a little too much touching for me at the moment. He apologized though and stopped.
"A Malfoy dressing a girl. This is a surprise." I laughed and turned to face him. I needed to break the silence.
"It would have made more sense if she didn't undress herself."
"Maybe if you asked nicely she would have let you."
"I don't have to ask. She does what I tell her to do when I say to do it." Looking into his eyes I couldn't help but smile. It was times like these, when his 'Malfoy side' shown, that I remember he's a lot more dangerous than I think.
"Ha that's funny because I won the bet. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that mean you'll be doing what I say to do?"
Ah, the look on his face was priceless. I seriously thought about letting him off the hook at that moment but being in control is a good feeling. Although not as good as revenge, which I will get when I think something up. The possibilities are endless. I'm going to have so much fun thinking something up. You know what... maybe I'll get Annabeth to do it. She seems to be good at stuff like this. Am I wrong?
"Did you have fun with Landon?" He asked with that same smirk on.
"He's a prat if you must know and he's not gay so you definitely don't have a chance. Parkinson's a better fit for you anyway." So what. I think he's a prat because he just judges my relationship with my enemy but doesn't like that he himself is judged. Or something like that. I don't know.
"No thanks. I'm working on something actually. What did he say exactly that has you pissed at him?"
This is the part where I tell him everything Landon said and regret it when he starts laughing. I don't know if he was laughing at how mad I was or that Landon actually said those things. I mean who tells someone you barely even know that he knows about their 'relationship' with someone they don't have a relationship with. That doesn't even make sense in the least. If I weren't trying to win a dare I would have given him a piece of my mind because he clearly needs one.
When I got to the part about him thinking we were 'enemies with benefits' Scorpius looked like he was actually considering it. Too bad it takes two to tango. Unless he's willing to do it himself. I'm not really sure how that would work unless, once again, he's going to be enemies with his right hand.
By the time I was done explaining I was back in regular school uniform and trying to get back to the Gryffindor tower. No heels, no dress. Just regular skirt, shirt, flats and robes. I never thought I'd be that happy to get those clothes off. This whole getting dressed up thing isn't for me.
"So let me get this straight. You're angry because he thinks we have a relationship? Sounds sensible." Sarcasm before, sarcasm now.
"Yes! Do I not get to be angry once in a while?" Or am I always angry but just not like this? I don't know.
"Actually you do. Every single second in your life."
Stopping, I glared at him. I do not remember being angry every second of my life. I wasn't mad when James was chasing me. I was actually scared for my freaking life. Or that time I kicked him and Albus. I felt pretty happy. Mostly satisfied but yeah. Happy.
"I'm not angry all the time." I whispered to disguise the fact that he was annoying me now.
"Yeah you are."
"EVERYBODY JUST KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT ME NOW, HUH? They know more about me than me! Now that sounds sensible." Taking a deep breath I took a second to make sure no one was around. "Maybe I need someone to make me happy." Absentminded flirting alert.
"I can do that."
The next thing I knew I was against the wall and he was making me a little too happy by pressing little kisses to my neck. I didn't really mind. Funny thing here, that he can make me happy. Shame that he can make me just as angry in seconds. Anyway, why was I thinking about this when I could be enjoying myself in far more entertaining activities.
So when his mouth finally found his way onto mine I pulled him closer to me. Sometimes you have to let yourself be happy. At least that's what I was doing until I heard something. I practically threw him off me.
"I think someone's coming." I stated only to have him smirk again. BOOM! Here comes some more sarcasm.
"Already, Weasley? You must really control yourself." I must admit, I laughed at that. I thought it was pretty funny.
"Not even close. No offense but you're kind of boring. And I'm going to take my leave before someone finds us and comes up with even more rumors. Don't want that. It'd be a distraction during our wedding, no?"
Dear Rose,
As much as I enjoyed your kissing I have to say that I don't really want to see you again. It's just this feeling that you're not really going to be dedicated to a relationship if there's Scorpius Malfoy around. And I know you said you didn't like him but honestly, you're not a very good liar. You should really practice that by the way if you're going to keep lying about your feelings for him.
Landon Davis
P.S: You should be really careful where you're going to kiss Malfoy. The halls aren't as quiet as they seem.
Dear Landon,
If I have to tell you one more time that's there's nothing between me and Scorpius it isn't going to be pretty. You're a little too persistent for me. If you want to play freaking matchmaker go find someone else. I don't want to participate.
Rose Weasley (Bet you want that to say Malfoy)
P.S: Merlin, we kissed. Alert the Ministry! Everyone does it. Doesn't mean anything. I think someone's a little jealous. If you like to peek so much you should join.
Author's Note: Don't ask. No really. DO NOT ASK. This was during a storm so I don't really give a flying party if there's a mistake or something. Rose might be a little ooc I think. Just pretend everything makes sense and you'll enjoy. Posting even though I shouldn't. fml.
