Chapter 28-What's a Kiss Between Friends?
Song Used: Good Is Bad By Ricky Barrow/Headrillaz
The next day, I was sitting in the living room with Scorpius who was playing with Mason while Mum sorted the kitchen out. Dad was back at work and boy is he miserable. Uncle Blaise's and Aunt Romilda's case must really be dragging out the worst in everyone. Tamsin was in her high chair with her arms around an overlarge hippogriff stuffed toy. "Scorpius, can you get Mason dressed? I'm taking him to see Roxxy and Liander today" Mum said, refering to her bestfriend Roxanne Morbid. They'd been bestfriend's since they were little girls.
"Yes Mother" Scorpius said, as he readied our baby brother. Aunt Roxxy was married to the Ex Lead singer of the band Morbyd Vampyre. Uncle Liander was a very laid back bloke. Except when it came to the subject of his daughters and dating boys. Everytime they came to visit, I was reminded of teenagers at a muggle Goth rock concert. They looked like a couple of vampire punk Goths. So did their twin sons, Van and Richter.
Roni and Sapphire Rose were a year older than Van and Richter. They were in Scorp's year. Roni was pretty much Goth Punk and Sapphire was strictly Punk. Those two did not get along. There was only one time I'd seen Roni stand up for Sapphire and that was when I was in third year. Sapphire had been viciously dumped in front of everyone in the Great Hall. When Roni had heard of this, she hunted down the prat and broke his nose. After that, Sapphire became bestfriends with Robbie Davies.
She was the only girl he didn't go after and one usually wasn't seen without the other. Anyway, enough about them. I looked up to see mum leaving with a giggling Mason. Scorpius was just finishing his tea and reading the Daily Prophet. Merlin, he looked so much like Dad right now. "Alli, why are you staring at me?" he asked, sipping at his tea. I was holding Tamsin who was holding her stuffed Hippogriff.
"No reason. You just look alot like Dad, sitting there with your tea and the Prophet" I said, smirking as he scowled.
"Don't you have somewhere to be Alli? It's summer holidays" Scorpius said, putting down his teacup.
"Yes, I'm waiting for Al to come pick Tam up so that I can be free this weekend. It's the last week before school starts and I was going to go do some shopping with Jaden and Samson" I answered, placing everything in my extendable baby bag. I wanted to make sure she had everything with her.
"Well then he's probably going to show up with Erien and Blaine who are spending the night" Scorpius said, turning back to his paper. Oh sweet Voldemort's nipple! Erien is coming to spend the night here? What the fuck! Can't I never escape him?
"Oh. Well, I might be out late. Those queens love to shop" I said, trying not to show any type of emotion. Just then, the doorbell rang.
"Could you get that, Alli?" Scorpius said, not bothering to even look up.
So I sighed rather loudly and walked into the entrance hall to open the door. As I feared, Al was standing in front of me with Blaine and Erien. As usual, Blaine looked extremely bored and Erien looked haughty. "Hey, there's my little future Quidditch champion" Al said, taking her out of my arms.
"Nice to see you too Al" I said, rolling my eyes.
"Well so this is what's been making you more mental last term. She's absolutely gorgeous Al, congrats Alli" Erien said, smirking. Blaine looked at her disinterestedly but as soon as she turned and giggled at him, he let out a smile. And it was a genuine smile. Not the usual Zabini smirk thing he does. I guess Tamsin really is a miracle. She can melt even the coldest heart.
"Er…thanks" I muttered, turning to face the dining area. "Scorpius! Your friends are here!" I yelled, making the three of them start.
"Hey mates, come on in. Hey Al, you take care of my niece" Scorpius said, smiling at him. I'm so glad they're back to bestfriend mode.
"You know I will. See you blokes in school" Al said, turning to leave. Later Alli" he said, as I kissed my baby goodbye.
"Later Al" I said, and he turned away. This left me with Scorpius and the other two. Jaden better hurry up with Samson. I just want to get the bloody hell out of here.
"Well he sure has taken to becoming a father" Erien said, as Scorpius and Blaine headed into the dining room for lunch. Erien just leaned against the stair's banister and smirked as he crossed his arms across his fit chest. I hate him.
"Yes, he really loves her and it seems to just come naturally to him" I answered, stiffly.
"Oh why the stiff tone Allisha? I thought we were friends" Erien said, stepping closer to me. Oh crap, he's moving closer. I should just do what my head is telling me and back away. But, like a moron, I stay where I am. As if frozen to the spot.
"We're not friends Erien. Friends don't use Legilimency on eachother" I said, as he stood but inches away. I could hear his breathing, or was that me? I couldn't tell. His hand was pushing a stray lock of hair out of my face. His skin so soft and warm. Every part of me was screaming to run but, I didn't listen.
"That was a mistake on my part. I acted poorly and without thought. Forgive me?" he asked, in his lowest sexiest voice. I wanted to melt right then and there.
"Yes" I said, trying to will myself to move forward. But I couldn't. What was it about Erien Flint that made me act like this?
"Good Girl" he said, leaning in and pressing his lips against mine. At this moment, I grabbed his shoulders and pulled him closer. He ran his fingers through my hair while the other hand ran down my back, sending shivers through my spine. His lips attacking my mouth hungrily, desperately, as if he were a starving man. His teeth nibbled at my bottom lip and I opened my mouth, giving his tongue access. I moaned as his skillful tongue explored my mouth slowly. I dug my fingers into his back and he let out a low groan.
"I think we should stop" I breathed, as his mouth made it's way down my neck. I pulled him closer, his tongue passing over my collarbone and then slowly back up to my waiting mouth. His kisses were intoxicating and I couldn't help but let his hands make their way down my body. I knew it was wrong and I shouldn't have been kissing him like this when I was in love with Al but, I'd been without this for so long that I wanted it. I didn't want him but, I wanted what he was giving me.
"I don't think we should. Just be a good girl" he whispered, as he captured my mouth in his again. He was such and arrogant prat that I wanted to push him off but his lips were so powerful.
"Hey Alli I forgot the-" Al's voice said, cutting off. I pulled away from Erien and pushed him off. The three of us stood looking at one another. Erien seemed to be the only one at ease. Al looked like he was ready to explode and I just stood there like a big red tomato. It was mere seconds before someone finally spoke up. "Eh, I came to get the stuffed Hippogriff" he said, awkwardly.
"Right, let me get it for you" I said, rushing off into the dining room. I covered my mouth in disgust. Here I was snogging the pants off of Erien Flint when all I could think about was Al Potter and who should come and see us snogging but Al himself. How am I going to face him? I mean, I know we're just friends but, Erien is one of his best mates. And he just caught us snogging.
"Here you go Al. See you on Sunday" I said, and he took the hippogriff and placed in in Tam's waiting arms. He gave me an awkward sort of smile-grimace and nodded once in Erien's direction, before leaving.
"So, where were we?" he said, slyly. I was now back in his arms but, the spell was broken. I couldn't do this for a minute longer.
"We are not going to do this again. You need to go upstairs to your friends and leave me alone. Like our first kiss, this was a humongoid mistake. You need to go upstairs now.
"Well at least I know you enjoyed yourself" he said, as he began walking up the stairs. "Oh an Alli, don't worry. This won't change anything between us. After all, what's a kiss between friends?" he said, as he turned and walked all the way up the stairs. Once again, Erien Flint has left me in a befuddled state.
"Bollocks".
A/N: God this fic is full of fillers. I don't know why you put up with it. Anyway, I'd like to thank those of you who are still reading this mundane piece of madness. There are now only three chapters left and I have to warn you that the next one will be a bit rushed. And Yes I also apologize for the shortness of this chapter.
