It's been a fortnight since I laid eyes on Ominis. From the moment we had that close encounter in Potions class, I've been dodging him at every turn. I'm wracked with guilt for leaving him alone, but I just can't bring myself to confront him. Every time I think back to that almost-kiss, my mind races with a million thoughts. I know deep down that I have feelings for Sebastian; they've been there since my very First day at Hogwarts, and while I do care for Ominis as a friend, I can't betray Sebastian like that. After all, Ominis is his best mate. I made my way towards the library, knowing I wouldn't run into Ominis. His collection of Braille books meant he rarely had to visit the library. Whenever he needed something, he would have his books specially ordered. Back when Sebastian was around, we would occasionally spend a day or two in the library, and I would read to Ominis. Sebastian would help us sneak into the restricted area. Nowadays, Ominis has generously dedicated his time to teach me Braille, and we would study together in the undercroft.
As I strolled amidst the towering shelves of books, my mind kept wandering back to the days when Ominis, Sebastian, and I were inseparable. I made my way towards the distant corner of the library, yearning to discover a book that I knew was not even in existence. My intention here was not to study but to seek refuge. Lost in my thoughts, I failed to notice someone sneaking up behind me until their hands reached out to snatch the book I had randomly plucked from the shelf. As I spun around, I was taken aback to see that the person standing before me was none other than Ominis. Merlin, he has finally tracked me down. Holding the book in his hands, Ominis began to flip through its pages, feigning interest in its contents. "Is this what you've been neglecting me for? Sitting alone in the library, buried in your studies?"He exclaimed, snapping the book shut. As I reached out to retrieve my book, Ominis pulled it away from me with surprising speed. Though I knew he was only teasing, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of annoyance. After all, he hadn't done anything wrong. It was my own fault for neglecting our friendship. Despite this, the smug smirk that crept across his face only served to irk me further.
"I'm not sure what you're talking about," I replied, taking a step back as I realized how close we were standing. Normally, this wouldn't have been an issue, but now I couldn't help feeling nervous whenever he was near. As Ominis let the book slip from his grasp and let it fall to the floor, my heart skipped a beat. He suddenly placed each hand on either side of me, trapping me against the bookshelf. His body drew closer and closer to mine, and I instinctively placed my hands on his chest to stop him. But it was too late; he was already so close that I was sure he could hear my heart pounding in my chest. Even though I knew he was blind, I turned my face away from his, feeling flustered and red as his body leaned over mine. Had he always been this tall and intimidating?
"Come now, Rose, that's not true. It's been two weeks, and we both know you've been avoiding me. Your distance is piercing my heart," Ominis said, his hand sliding under my chin with a tight but tender grip, turning my face to meet his. His gaze was intense and almost terrifying, but I could see the pain in his eyes. "Do you hate me that much?" he asked, his voice laced with hurt.
His question caught me off guard. I couldn't believe he thought I hated him. He was someone who held great significance in my life, and the mere thought of making him feel that way was unbearable. I tried to speak, to reassure him, but my words failed me. I was filled with emotion, and my throat felt tight. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized how much I had hurt him. I cared for him deeply, but I struggled to find the right words to convey that to him. I was overwhelmed with unfamiliar feelings, leaving me struggling to find the right words. Was this love? It felt like my heart was about to burst with the intensity of my own emotions. As Ominis leaned in closer to me, my heart raced with anticipation. Was he going to try to kiss me again? I held onto his shirt tightly, closing my eyes and holding my breath, unsure of what to do. But just like last time, our lips didn't meet. Instead, I felt his warm breath against my neck, causing every hair on my body to stand on end. My face flushed with heat as my hands gripped onto him even tighter, and my body instinctively drew closer to his. It felt like my legs were about to give out from under me. Ominis' hand that once held my face to his was now clasped tightly around my back, holding me steady as if he knew I would fall if he let go. I could feel his breath on my ear as he whispered, "Please..."
Ominis wrapped his other hand around me, lifting me up effortlessly. I wrapped my arms around his broad shoulders to steady myself as he carried me to a nearby table. He gently placed me down on top of it and cupped my face, pressing his forehead against mine. I was at a loss for words; the desperation in Ominis' eyes kept me silent. I held onto him tightly, not wanting to let go as he continued to speak.
"I cannot contain my emotions any longer. Please allow me to express how deeply I admire and love you... My admiration for you is not something that happened overnight. It has been growing steadily over time. Your intelligence, kindness, and compassion have always left a lasting impression on me. You possess a unique ability to make everyone feel valued and appreciated, and your positive outlook on life is infectious. During my darkest moments, your unwavering optimism has been a beacon of hope. Your strength of character is something I have always admired. Despite facing numerous challenges, you have never allowed them to defeat you. Instead, you have emerged stronger and more resilient. Your determination to succeed is truly inspiring, and it motivates me to strive for excellence in all aspects of my life. However, it is not just your admirable qualities that have captured my heart. It is your love and affection that have made me fall deeply and irrevocably in love with you. Your love is unconditional, and it has given me the courage to be myself. You have accepted me for who I am, flaws and all, and that has made me feel loved and cherished beyond measure. You have become an integral part of my life, and the thought of living without you is unfathomable. Your presence has brought me immense joy, happiness, and a sense of direction. I cannot envision a future without you by my side. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, experiencing all the highs and lows that life has to offer, together."
The words of Ominis resonated within me, stirring emotions that I had never experienced before. In that moment, my heart was consumed with a deep affection for him, and any doubts that I had previously harbored vanished into thin air. My feelings for Ominis surpassed those of mere friendship, and I found myself caring for him in a way that I had never cared for anyone before. Feeling his warmth and strength surrounding me, it was as if we were the only two people in the room, lost in our own world. Ominis' lips finally brushed against mine, softly at first, then with more urgency. I responded to his kiss, my heart racing with desire. In that moment, I knew I was his, completely and utterly.
As our kiss deepened, I felt a surge of emotions that I couldn't quite comprehend. Ominis' hands roamed over my body, igniting a fire within me that I had never felt before. I moaned softly into his mouth, unable to control the overwhelming sensations that were coursing through me.
Finally, we broke apart, gasping for breath. Ominis looked at me with a mixture of tenderness and hunger in his eyes. "I need you," he whispered, his voice rough with desire. "I need you more than anything." I nodded, unable to speak. I knew that I wanted him just as much as he wanted me. And in that moment, nothing else mattered.
Ominis pressed his lips against mine once more, but this time with a fierce and intense passion. I responded eagerly, yearning for his touch. My hand glided up his neck, and I entwined my fingers in his hair, relishing the sensation. We were lost in each other, consumed by the passion that had been building between us for so long. Ominis' hands continued to explore my body, sending shivers down my spine. I could feel his desire for me, and it only fueled my own. Without a word, Ominis laid me down gently, his eyes never leaving mine. I watched as he loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his muscular body to me. My heart raced as he climbed onto the table, hovering over me.
In an instant, the wave of pleasure subsided, and I was jolted back to reality. We were still in the library, surrounded by other students, with only a handful of bookcases separating us. I attempted to sit up, but Ominis' body held me firmly in place. Panic surged through me as I realized the possibility of being caught in such a compromising position. "Ominis, we need to stop. We could get caught," I pleaded, attempting to push him out of the way. However, his size and strength proved too much for me to budge. "I assure you, my love," Ominis whispered in my ear. "No one will catch us." I felt a shiver run down my spine as he continued to caress my neck with his lips. I knew what we were doing was wrong, but I couldn't resist his touch.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching, and I panicked. "Ominis, someone's coming!" I hissed. But it was too late. We were caught in the act. It was Garreth Weasley making his way around the corner, his nose buried deep in a book on potions. However, when he lifted his head, he was struck with disbelief and froze in his tracks. Ominis and I laid there in silence, exchanging glances as we watched Garreth try to make sense of the situation. Garreth nervously cleared his throat before speaking up.
"Uh, hey guys," he said, his eyes darting around the room to ensure he had entered the correct place. "Great weather we're having... today... in the library?" he finished, his voice trailing off uncertainly. I felt my face flush with embarrassment being caught in such an awkward position. I covered my face with my hands, hoping to hide my shame. Ominis let out a deep sigh and stood up, buttoning his shirt as he made his way towards Garreth. "Ah, Garreth, just the Weasley I wanted to see," Ominis said, his tone laced with anger. I could see that Garreth was terrified, and I couldn't blame him, not after the event with Leander in the Great Hall.
"Hey there, Ominis, I can see that you're busy, so I won't take up your time," Garreth said nervously, looking to me for help. But I knew better than to interfere when Ominis was upset.
Ominis threw his arm around Garreth's shoulder, causing him to stumble back a bit. Garreth let out a whimper of discomfort. "Come on, Garreth, your interruption was surely important," Omnis said, turning his head to glance at me. "Forgive me, my love, but I won't be able to escort you back to your common room. I have pressing matters to attend to," he continued, tightening his grip around Garreth's neck and dragging him towards the library's exit. Garreth cried out for help and waved his arms towards me, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
I rose from the table, hastily straightening my disheveled attire after our intimate encounter. Standing alone in the library, a surge of disbelief washed over me. Did that truly occur? Did I truly engage in a passionate embrace with Omnis Guant? And more importantly, did I desire to experience it again? Shaking my head, I navigated my way out of the library and retreated to the comfort of my common room. Today had proven to be far too overwhelming for me to comprehend, and all I craved was to bury myself beneath the layers of my sheets.
