Ch. 4- The Nature of the Relationship

"Samantha Athena DeVega Black!"

Draco had tried to be nice and understanding, he had tried to compromise and loosen up. He really did try.

This though, this was the last straw. It was fine when she moved some of her clothes into his closet and his drawers. Did it screw up his whole organized system? Yes, but it was necessary.

He only complained minimally when she brought her shoes over and when they would not fit in the closet she lined them up under the bed, and by the door and where ever else she decided to throw them after wearing them.

At that moment he tripped stumbling before catching himself to look down and see one of Sam's many spiky heels.

She put her pillows on his bed, her robe and soaps in his bathroom, her coffee mugs in his kitchen. But putting her bloody muggle contraptions in his office, his sanctuary, that was going too far and he wasn't going to stand for it any longer.

"SAMANTHA!"

"DRACO! What are you yelling about now?" Sam asked calmly moving into the study and plopping on the couch.

"What am I…What I am yelling about? I'll tell you what I am yelling about. You! You, and your…STUFF… have seemed to have found their way into every corner of my life messing up all semblance of order I have tried to cling to since you've gotten here and now you have spread yourself out into my office with whatever this THING is and I will not stand for it Samantha, I will not." Draco finished dramatically flailing his arms at the speakerphone and laptop that were currently sitting on his desk.

"Glad you got that off your chest?" Sam asked raising an eyebrow at Draco's dramatics and crossing her arms over her chest defensively.

"It has to stop Samantha or I swear…"

"What? What are you going to do? I am so sorry that my being here has disrupted your perfectly planned out life schedule." Sam responded sarcastically, " Don't you dare threaten me, hate to break it to you sweetheart but I live here too."

"This is my home and my rules!"

"EXCUSE ME!"

So, yeah they had fights, probably more than was usual or healthy. But the make-up sex was always good and they eventually were able to come up with solutions.

They were currently pressed against each other on Draco's desk breathing heavily. Laptop, phone and all other desk items laid forgotten on the floor.

"This isn't working." Sam said sitting up on the desk.

"Really?" Draco asked looking down at their sweaty naked bodies. "I thought that worked pretty damn well."

Sam rolled her eyes and wrapped her arms around Draco's hips to pinch his ass. "That worked fine. I meant living here, in your house."

"I didn't mean to say it like that…"

Sam cut off his apology, "It's true though this is your house, your space, it's not ours. You told your mother we were moving in together, we wrote it in our contract that we were going to look for a place together. I think we should do that sooner rather than later."

"Okay, we'll start looking for a place. Together."

He got up from the desk stretching his arms over his head and then offering Sam a hand to help her.

"So?" he asked as they got dressed, "How was your day at the office Sweetheart?"

"Well Darling, I might just have the juiciest bit of gossip there is to be found these days." Sam responded in a georgian-peach accent.

"Oh do tell." Draco said putting his elbows on the desk and his chin on his palms, much like a kid listening to a story.

Sam leaned over the other side of the desk, she had yet to put her shirt back on and Draco was momentarily distracted.

"Well, I had the one and only Mr. Zabini come visit me today."

"Does he ever work?" Draco mused.

"and he has informed me that he is taking Ginny Weasley on a date."

"How'd he manage that?"

"Well, let me tell you…"

Did they have issues? Sure but the fact that they could still have conspiring conversations about their friends love lives and Draco always kept a pint of Ben & Jerry's in the freezer made Sam think that they would just make this thing work. It was the nature of their relationship.

"Too big, too old, too small, that's just too much in general."

"This is going to be a thing isn't it?" Draco asked from the other side of the breakfast table where he was attempting to read the Daily Prophet.

Sam put the home listings she was rifling through down. "What do you mean by 'a thing'?" she asked placing her elbows on the table and her chin on her clasped hands.

"I mean another thing to add to the list of things that we are going to attempt to do together and we think it's going to be easy until we get into it and it turns out that we both have completely different tastes and it's going to result in an argument."

Sam pursed her lips, "No this will not be a 'thing'."

She went back to her magazine but put it down almost immediately, "Why do you have to be so negative and assume that we are going to start a fight over this?"

"I thought we weren't making this a thing?" Draco asked putting his paper down.

"We're not. but if we were, you made it a thing not me." Sam said standing up and grabbing the magazine to take with her. As she walked past Draco he grabbed her arm to still her so he could give her a kiss on the cheek.

"Fine. I'm sorry I brought it up. You are right, I'm wrong and I think you should forgive me and allow me to take you out to an incredibly fancy restaurant so I may show you off and we can do it in the bathrooms under the snobby noses of London's elite."

Sam laughed, "Why Mr. Malfoy you certainly know how to charm a woman." She said sarcastically walking away.

When she reached the door she turned back towards him, "I'll be done by 7. They better be nice bathrooms."

Author's Note: Yup, Draco and Sam are a little twisted, but we like them that way. My finals start Tuesday so I figured I'd write a chapter to distract me from my ridiculous workload. Hopefully you'll all feel in the procrastinating mood and will take the time to read and review my story :) Thanks for the support so far and anyone who is taking finals, good luck!
