Okay then. So, here is chapter twenty. Sorry for the over three week wait. I was having some….. *cough* Family *cough* …. issues. Now, a few things before we get to the story. Don't be disappointed, but I don't write sex scenes. I just don't do that. Although this story may be a bit of an 'M' rating, what with all the innuendos in here. Any who…. On with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.
(Hermione pov)
"Flight 128 is now boarding." A flight attendant said through the intercom.
"Okay. Uh, I guess we should go then." Draco told me, picking up our carry-on bags. I could tell he was just as nervous as I was. Maybe even more.
"Um, yeah. Okay." I said, putting my hand in his as we walked through the hallway leading to the plane. Once the flight attendant had taken our tickets and we were comfortably in our seats, I made an excuse to make a phone call.
"Come on, come on, come on!" I said as the phone was ringing.
"Hello?" Ginny answered.
"Ginny! Oh thank goodness you picked up! I don't know if I can do this!" I whispered, trying not to attract attention to myself.
"Do what?" She replied.
"Use your common sense Ginny! What do married people do on their honeymoon!" I said, waving my hand when someone turned around to look at me.
"Oh, Hermione, You can do this. There is absolutely nothing to be nervous about! Now stop freaking out, you're going to give yourself a heart attack!" She said, joking with me.
"This isn't funny, Ginny! This is serious! Draco is all nervous and cannot say a complete sentence to me! I don't know what to do!" I said, well, yelled was more like it.
"Hermione, I'm sorry. But, you need to-" She said, before I cut her off.
"He mentioned our kids, Ginny." I whispered.
"Wow. He did?" She asked, unbelieving.
"Yeah." I said, fidgeting with my new ring.
"Hermione, I want you to listen to me very carefully. Let him take care of you." She said, as if it were that simple.
"Really? That's it?" I asked her.
"That's it." She replied. I saw that the flight attendant was walking over to me, probably coming to tell me to sit down.
"Okay, um, I'll call you later, Ginny. Thanks. For everything." I said, hanging up my phone, not bothering to listen to her answer.
"Miss, The plane is about to take off. I'm going to have to ask you to take your seat." The flight attendant told me, obviously forcing a smile.
"Of course." I replied, smiling back at her, and making my way back to Draco.
"Everything okay?" He asked me, holding out his hand.
"Yep." I said, taking his hand, and sitting in the seat next to him.
"Please fasten your seatbelts. Take off with commence shortly." A female voice rang out through the speakers.
The plane ride took about 8 eight hours. 7 of which were spent in silence. Neither me or Draco knew how to bring up the whole 'I'm nervous about doing it with you' conversation. We both valued our sanity too much. When we landed, it was basically organized chaos. No one could find our bags, we couldn't find our tickets so the authorities thought we were stowaways, and some guy with dreadlocks came up to me and asked me to marry him.
"I hate Jamaica." Draco said, as he and I were walking away from the guy that he had just knocked out. I could only laugh at his frustration.
"So, I see you're the jealous type, Mr. Malfoy?" I said, in an effort to lighten the mood.
Draco immediately stopped, and turned around, a smirk on his face. "Why no, Mrs. Malfoy, I merely don't like people trying to steal what is mine." He told me, putting his hand around my waist, and kissing my cheek, making my cheeks flame with color. "Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are when you blush?"
That made me blush even more. "Shut up." I said, laughing at the pout on his face.
"Well, um, Our cab is over there." Draco said, pointing to a black car parked outside the glass doors leading away from the airport.
"Um, yeah. Okay." I said, walking towards the car. We had both said the word 'um'. the nervous thing was back, and the happy mood had disappeared.
"After you." Draco said, opening the car door for me.
"Thank you, sweetie." I said, trying out the name. Draco only smiled at me, which made me think it was okay. Then, he got into the seat beside me, and we were off.
"Where exactly are we going?" I asked Draco, trying to start a conversation.
"Wait, I thought you knew!" He said, which made me think he didn't know either.
"Driver, where are you taking us?" Draco asked the man sitting in the front seat.
"I was left with specific instructions not to tell you that. But I do have a note for you." He said, handing me a piece of….. Parchment? Oh this can't be good. On the front of the envelope, 'The Malfoys' was written in cursive.
Dear Hermione and Draco,
I'm sorry but I'll have to keep the location of your honeymoon a secret for now. It should take you half an hour to get there, if You landed on time. Don't worry, Sam will explain if you have any questions. And, you'll thank me later.
Love,
Ginny Potter
"So I'm guessing you're Sam?" I asked the driver.
"Yep. Pleased to meet you." He said, tipping his hat.
"Hermione, you've got some weird friends." Draco said, reading the note.
"Says the man who is best friends with Blaise Zambini." I said, drawing a laugh out of him.
"Hey! There's nothing wrong with bl- well….. never mind." He said.
"That's what I thought." I said, playfully putting my hand on his.
Half an hour later, we stopped in front of a house. Just one house, practically in the middle of no where. But it was gorgeous. The most beautiful house I had ever seen. It was overlooking the ocean, too.
"We're here." Sam said, getting out, and opening my door.
"So we are." I said, holding Draco's hand when he had gotten out of the car. "It's gorgeous."
"Well, I wouldn't say gorgeous. Not with you standing here in comparison." Draco said, making me blush.
Sam seemed uncomfortable just standing behind us. "So, If you don't have any questions, I'll just leave you to it." Sam said, getting in his car, and driving away.
"Uh, so, yeah. I'll just, take the bags in." Draco said, picking up our suitcases, and leading me to the house.
The house was even more beautiful on the inside. But I couldn't seem to keep myself focused on anything. My heart was pounding too loud.
Draco put our bags in the living room, took my hand, and walked me to the bedroom.
"Hermione, I don't want you to be scared." Draco said, kissing the backs of my hands.
"I'm not scared. I'm just nervous." I said, trying to avoid his eyes.
"Hey, hey, look at me. You don't have to be nervous. I'll take care of you. I promise." He said, forcing me to look at his stormy grey eyes.
"Okay." I said, nodding my head. He then gently put his lips on mine, picked me up bridal style, and shut the door behind us, shedding our clothes as he carried me to the bed.
*The next morning*
I awoke to the sound of a heartbeat. Draco's heartbeat, in particular. I was lying on his chest, and we were both…. naked?
"AH!" I screamed, jumping off of his chest, and grabbing the sheets to cover myself. At the sound of my scream, Draco fell off the bed, jumped up, and got into an attack position.
"What the? Hermione, are you okay?" Draco asked, not noticing he was standing in front of me completely naked.
"Yeah, yeah I'm okay. I'm just no used to waking up naked, and on a man." I said, blushing when he smiled. "Speaking of naked, um, you're kind of…."
"Oh!" Draco said, looking down, and grabbing a pillow to cover himself. "Sorry, but it's not like you haven't seen me naked." He said, smirking, and making me blush a deeper red.
"So, um, are you hungry?" I said, trying to get my face back to it's normal color.
"Uh…. Yeah." He said, grabbing his pants and walking into the bathroom.
"Okay." I said, smiling as he left the room. I then got up, went to my bag, and put on my robe.
Then last night's 'events' came flooding back to me. The nervousness, the kissing, throwing our clothes on the floor…
"This is going to take some serious getting used to." I said, walking into the kitchen, and getting ingredients for pancakes. Right when I was flipping the last batch over, Draco came up behind me, but his arms around my waist, and put his chin on my shoulder.
"That smells really good, love." He said, taking a deep breath.
"Well thank you. I'm just doing my job."
"And what 'job' would that be?" He said, putting air quotes around the word 'job'.
"Being the most amazing wife ever. After all, if I want our kids to like my cooking, I better start practicing now." I said, making him grin.
"Kids?" He said, turning me around, and leaning towards me.
"Uh, well, yeah. Kids." I said nervously.
"I'd like that." He said, smiling and kissing my cheek.
"Th- the pancakes are g- gonna burn." I said, as he started to kiss my neck.
"Let them." He mumbled against my neck.
"Nope. Sorry." I said, pulling away from him, and giggling at the pout on his face. I then put all the pancakes on a plate, and sat down at the table. "Bon' appetite'."
Draco then sat down at the table, and piled his plate with food. "I didn't know you could speak French." He said between bites.
"There's a lot of things you don't know about me." I said, smirking when he stopped mid-bite, and then put the rest of his food in his mouth.
"Aren't you going to eat?" He asked, when he saw that my plate was still empty.
"Um, no. I'm good. I like to eat a light breakfast, and eat a 'meal' at lunch." I replied, explaining my eating habits to him.
"Oh." He said, looking strangely defeated. "You know, we are going to have to get to know each other better. I'm talking all the little things."
"Um, okay. Why not now?" I asked.
"Yeah, I guess we could now. So do you want to go first?" He said, pushing his plate aside.
"Sure. So, um, I guess I have a lot of little things you should know about. Well, I only sleep on the left side of the bed, I usually don't eat breakfast, I am fluent in French, I like to watch black and white muggle romance movies, I absolutely hate hot dogs, my favorite color is dark pink, and I only use aquafresh toothpaste." I said, finally stopping to take a breath.
"What's a hot dog?" Draco asked, looking really confused.
"Oh. Um, they take a bunch of meat from different animals, mash it together, shape it into a cylinder, and rap it in intestines." I said, watching disgust come over his features.
"That sounds absolutely horrid!" He said, sticking out his tongue and gagging.
"Now you see why I don't eat them."
"Yeah, I do. So anyway, I guess it's my turn. Um, Oh here's something. I don't walk on grass barefoot, I can't stand it when people click their tongue, I can speak a little French, When I stop walking, I have to have an even number of footsteps, I hate blueberries, My favorite color is green, and I'm completely terrified of bugs." He said, scrunching his eyes together when I laughed. "What?"
"That's a little weird. Three things. One, What's with the footstep thing?" I asked, still laughing softly.
"I have no idea. It just feels weird if I don't. Next."
"Okay, Why do you hate blueberries?" I asked.
"They're a sad excuse for a fruit. Next please."
"When you said you're terrified of bugs, do you mean ladybugs and butterflies too?" I said, giggling.
"Well, I'm not afraid of them, I just prefer not to touch them. By bugs, I mean spiders, wasps, and things like that." He explained.
"Aw. My dwakey poo Is afwaid of a iddy-biddy wittle spider." I said, pinching his cheeks.
"Yes I am, and I'm proud!" He said, smiling when I laughed and took my hand off his face.
"Well alright." I said, grabbing his plate and putting it in the sink.
"What do you say we go for a little swim, hm?" Draco whispered, standing right behind me.
"Um, sure. I've just got to do a few things first. I'll meet you in the living room in like 10 minutes, okay?" I said to him.
"Sure. Take your time. I love you." He said, taking my hands in his.
"I love you too." I said, without hesitation. He then kissed me, and went to the bedroom.
"Woooww." I said, leaning on the counter as my legs went week. When he kisses me like that, I get butterflies in my stomach and my legs feel like jelly.
I then went to my purse, got my phone, and hit the 2 on my speed dial list.
"Hello?" A male voice answered.
A/N: yeah yeah, you can hate me for the cliffy. Sorry!
