Oh. My. God. It has been FOREVER. And I am SO sorry. Its been about 1.5 YEARS. Well, lets just get on to the story.
GOD! Malfoy is the world's biggest pervert! I know where he was staring and it certainly was not my face. What was Malfoy doing? Had he been in my room? I got dressed into my pajamas and looked around my room, but everything seemed to be in place, so I went to bed.
I woke up the next day, stretched, and got out of bed. The sun was shining and it seemed like it was going to be a really nice day. But when I started walking down the stairs, everything went horribly wrong. Being the clumsy person I am, I just had to trip. I squeezed my eyes shut and braced myself for impact against the cold, hard floor, but instead I felt something…soft…and warm… I slowly opened my eyes, and I was staring into a pair of worried grey eyes. Then I realized that I was in Malfoy's arms at the bottom of the stairs. I quickly pushed him away, which turned out to be a bad idea since I landed with a thud on my butt. My mother quickly came rushing over and said, "Are you okay Herms? That would have been quite a fall," She then turned to Malfoy and said, "Oh thank you so much Draco darling. You saved her!"
Draco smiled and said, "No problem Ms. Granger. Wouldn't want Herms to get hurt, now would we?"
My mother smiled, "Oh you're a sweetheart Draco. Here, finish your breakfast. Hermione, you too!"
I groaned and got up off the floor. I sat down at the table next to Malfoy, but we managed to eat breakfast without any incidents. I quickly finished, put my plates in the sink, and tried to go out the front door fast enough so that Malfoy wouldn't notice, but just as I went out the door, I heard him say, "Hermione! Wait up!" I sighed and slowed down a tiny bit. So much for that. I got in the car and a few minutes later he sat down next to me.
We drove to Café Ole, but when we got there, none of my friends were there yet. I quickly texted them, letting them know I was there and would save a table. Malfoy and I went inside and sat down on a table, in silence. We awkwardly stared at each other for a minute or two, then as he was about to say something, a waitress came over to our table. "If you are going to sit here, you have to pay for something."
I quickly replied, "Oh, I'm just waiting for a couple of my friends to come,"
"Sorry honey, store policy. You gotta buy something or wait outside."
"Fine. I'll get something." I stood up and started walking towards the cashier, with Malfoy following behind me. I decided to order a Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino, my favorite, when I noticed Draco staring blankly at the cashier. "What do you want?" I asked him.
"I don't know what these things are." He said quietly and looked down.
"Oh." I said, surprised. I had forgotten that Malfoy didn't go to Muggle coffee shops. "Well, I think you'll like the White Mocha Frappuccino. It'll match your hair." I ordered our drinks and when we got them, we headed back to the table.
Malfoy stared at his drink suspiciously, but took a small sip through his straw. "This is really good!" he exclaimed, with a surprised look on his face. He took two more long sips of his drink and then looked jealously at mine. "I want to try some of yours."
"No way!" I pulled my drink away from him, "This is my favorite!"
"Please!" he begged, "Pretty please with whipped cream on top?!"
"Ugh, fine." I gave in to his begging and let him have a small sip of my Frappuccino.
"Mine is better" he said smugly.
"What?! Impossible. This is the best drink there is." I said, disbelievingly. "Let me try yours. I let you try mine!" He tried to keep his glass out of my reach, but I would not give up without a fight. I finally grabbed it, leaned in, and put my mouth to his straw to take a sip. Suddenly I heard someone say my name. I looked up and saw Donna, Kevin, Alice, and Jacob staring at me and Draco. I looked down and suddenly noticed that during our struggle, I had somehow ended up sitting in his lap! How was that even possible? I quickly got up but in my rush, I got up too fast, slipped, and fell into Draco's arms…yet again. I blushed a dark red, and straightened myself up. Oh no. Jacob. I looked at him and he was glaring at Draco, but with some sadness in his eyes. "I'm sorry, I was just trying to try his drink because he tried mine but he wouldn't let me and that's not fair because I let him try mine…" I decided to shut my mouth before I said anything more stupid, "Jacob. Can I talk to you?"
"Yeah." He stepped a few feet away and I followed. "Hermione. Are you with Draco? Because, I really like you and I thought you liked me too, but maybe I was wrong. If you're with him, I'll just back off, okay?"
I was horrified. "No no no no no! I am SO not with Draco! He—I—we—I really like you too! That was just…nothing! Nothing is going one between Draco and I!"
Jacob's face brightened, "Oh! Well, I guess if we both know that we like each other…Will you be my girlfriend? I nearly fainted.
"Yes! Of course! You don't know how long I've been waiting for this moment!" I exclaimed dizzily.
Jacob smiled, then suddenly leaned down, and kissed me right on the lips! That time I did faint.
So yeah guys, sorry again about the gigantic delay. Unfortunately I really can't promise that there won't be another 1.5 year delay to the story, but I will try REALLY hard to update again AT LEAST sometime in August.
BUT. It will give me a lot of motivation if I see reviews! Seriously. Even one word would make my day, so REVIEW PLEASE!
Love you guys! 3
