Hermione couldn't keep the smile off her face when she got home. She smiled walking into the house and into the bathroom. She smiled when she turned the water on and smiled when she peeled her chocolaty mess of a dress of and slipped under the hot water. She started to sing really loudly to "Walking on Sunshine." And in the back of her mind she thought she heard a poof, but quickly dismissed the idea. She grabbed her favorite strawberry shampoo and lathered her head. She could feel the warm water cascading down her body and it loosened all her muscles. She reached up and felt her lips, enjoying how they felt slightly swollen. She felt absolutely delicious and a little tipsy and the hot shower was really bringing that out. She shut the water off and climbed out of the shower, slipping and sliding and laughing the whole time. She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her middle and as she was walking out of the bathroom slipped right into the arms of Charlie.
"AAAAHHHH," she squealed as her towel slipped.
Charlie grabbed her around the waist, just about dropping her as he felt his hand come in contact with skin. "Oh shit." He said as he looked down and seen her body was totally uncovered.
Hermione frantically tried to pull her towel up to cover her body, "Charlie what are you doing here?" she asked trying to sound more confident then she felt.
"Um, I ah Um, Well you see, you um." Charlie tried to stutter out.
Hermione finally got her towel somewhat in place and looked up in his eyes and started laughing. "Dragon got your tongue?"
Charlie was blushing so red, and he let go of her to cover his face, "Hermione I'm so sorry, you just forgot your purse and I brought it back. Omg."
Hermione laughed a little, "I thought I heard someone apparating, but I thought it was all in my head."
Charlie smiled slightly his face still so red, "I'm really sorry; I should have just dropped your purse off and left."
Hermione smiled at him, "Well if you had done that I wouldn't be able to do this," she quickly pulled his head down to hers and kissed him deeply.
He wrapped his arms around hers, careful not to pull her towel off and enjoyed the feeling of his lips moving in sync with hers. He'd be lying to himself if he said he just wanted to bring her purse back. As soon as she apparated away he wanted her back in his arms. He couldn't remember the last time a woman had affected him as much as she had. She was beautiful and intelligent, and he wanted her all to himself.
When they pulled back from the kiss, Hermione laid her head against his chest, enjoying the sound of his heartbeat as he rubbed patterns on her bare shoulders. "Tell me the real reason you didn't go Charlie?" She asked.
Charlie chuckled, "Because as soon as you left my arms, that's the only place I wanted you too be."
Hermione smiled up at him, "I'm going to go change into my pajamas okay? Will you promise to stay here until than?"
He nodded and kissed her forehead, "I'll be here as long as you want me too."
Hermione smiled and pulled out of his arms, making sure her towel was still in place and quickly walked into her bedroom. She decided on flannel shorts and a tank top, not wanting to be too sleazy. She quickly towel dried her hair as much as possible and decided against blow-drying with her wand. She just wanted to curl up on the couch with Charlie. She realized this is exactly what she needed tonight; she needed someone who she cared about and cared about her to curl up and just be with her. She hadn't been lying to Harry when she said she still didn't know if she deserved to be loved, but she had a good feeling about Charlie. He hadn't tried to take advantage of her, or even ogle her that much when her towel had slipped. He was a perfect gentleman.
She walked out of her room to Charlie sitting on the couch, a fire going in the fireplace, with a bottle of wine and two glasses and it made her heart leap in her chest. He looked up at her and a huge smile broke out on his face. She quickly snuggled up onto his chest. "I think this is the most romantic thing someone has ever done for me."
Charlie rubbed his nose in her hair, "You're a special woman Hermione, and you deserve to be spoiled."
She snuggled deeper into his chest, "So this is all in your plan to woo me than?"
He could feel him smiling, "Is it working?"
She giggled, "It definitely is."
Sorry about the short chapter, wanted to keep it short and sweet.
Well now you're going to have to wait until Monday to see what happens.
MWAHHAHAH. I'm evil I know. Review away.
