Love, such a silly game we play (Draco Malfoy story) part 20

I/t’s been too long and I’m lost without you/
What am I going to do?
Said I’ve been needed you wanting you
Wondering if you’re the same
And who’s been with you
Is your heart still mine
I wanna cry sometimes
I miss you

“I’ve missed you Draco,” I told him. He sighed and pulled me off of him, “why are you in here Adriana?” he asked me. I frowned; leave it to him to ruin the moment. “Well, I wanted to talk to you, but I got tired of waiting up for you so I went to sleep,” I told him starting to get annoyed. “Ugh Draco, I was perfectly happy five minutes ago, but you’ve ruined my mood,” I told him and started to get off his bed but he grabbed my arm pulling me back down. “Wait Adriana,” he started and I turned to face him. “I’ve missed you too, but I was hurt when you dumped me, and I felt worse when you started seeing Blaise, who by the way I overheard him and Crabbe talking about how good of a partner in bed you’ll be. That’s why I want you to be careful around him,” he told me sincerely. I got up and walked to wear he sat and took his hand in mine. “Ginger told me that she has overheard you crying in your room, talking to yourself, saying why me, why has he chosen me for this. Draco you can talk to me about anything, so what’s wrong with you?” I asked him. He snatched his hand out of mine. “Ginger told you this, GIN--” he started. “No, Draco you’re not going to hurt her. But yes she did, come on Draco you can talk to me,” I assured him. “No Adriana I honestly can’t, you already know too much for your own good.” He told me. “Are you sure you don’t want to talk about it?” I asked him. He nodded and I just left it at that. I looked at the clock that was on his wall. “10 more minutes till Christmas,” I said with a sly smile. He smiled back but said nothing. So I got up and started walking towards my room, “where are you going?” he asked. “Back to my room so I can get more sleep,” I told him. “Why don’t you stay in here?” he asked. I sighed, “Draco we both know that that is a bad idea, so I’m going back to my room. I’ll see you in the morning.” I told him and started to walk out. But I ran back to where he was and kissed him on the cheek, it was the least I could do. He smiled a small smile and satisfied I walked out. I plopped on my bed; I couldn’t get Draco off of my mind. I know it’s wrong because I’m dating Blaise, but Draco is my first love. I was starting to develop a headache from thinking. So I got up and went downstairs for a cup of water. I reached for a glass, but nearly dropped it when I heard a noise from behind me. I turned around and saw Draco, “um, hi,” I said. He didn’t say anything and continued to walk towards me; he stopped when he was literally an inch away from me. “Draco what ar--” and his lips crashed against mine. I was shocked and my arms rested lifelessly to my sides. I was debating whether or not to kiss him back. But my body had started to take over on its own. My arms wrapped around his head and my lips started moving in sync with his. His breath was minty and mouthwatering. This kiss was amazing, a lot better than the way I’m kissed by Blaise. Blaise. I pulled away. “Draco what’s wrong with you, you know I’m dating Blaise. You can’t just go around kissing people.” I shrilled. He pointed up and my eyes followed his movements. There was a single strand of mistletoe above our heads. That’s funny, I didn’t notice it when I first walked in. he started to lean in again, and this time I didn’t oblige. He took my face in his hands and lightly pressed his lips to mine. I tangled my hands in his hair and pulled him closer to me. He started kissing me harder and more passionately. I felt his tongue on my lip and eagerly let him in. Our tongues explored each others eagerly. He pulled away and I smiled breathlessly. He brought his lips to mine once more and kissed me lightly. Then he released my face and started to walk away. He stopped at the head of the stairs, “Merry Christmas Adriana,” he told me and continued up the stairs. The smile was still etched on my face as I walked in my room and went on my bed.

I awoke a couple of hours later and was getting ready to go shower when I saw the Weasley’s old owl, Errol. I let him in and he quickly flew on to the bed. Well he flew as quickly as he could I should say. I untied the packages from his legs. Harry sent me a broomstick cleaning kit. From Hermione I got an emerald pendant. From the Weasleys I got violet sweater with my initial on it, from Mrs. Weasley, of course, a model snitch, from Ron, and a box of Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes from Fred and George. I tied my gifts for them to Errol and sent him on his way again. As soon Errol left 2 more owls approached my window. One looked like a Hogwarts owl, and the other was midnight Black with piercing yellow eyes. It was starting to creep me out a bit. I took the package off of the Barn owl first, it was from Hagrid, and he sent me some Treacle Tarts. I was afraid it would have been something dangerous. The black owl was growing impatient and pecked my hand, which had started to develop a scar. I reluctantly took the package from around its leg and opened it. It was a diamond bracelet; I looked around for a note.

Adriana

Merry Christmas, I miss you a lot. You better not be having too much fun there. Just a week until I see you! Hope you like your gift.

Blaise

Blaise is really sweet; I don’t know why Draco thinks he is going to take advantage of me. I sent the two owls out of my room with Hagrid’s and Blaise’s gifts. Draco barged into my room immediately after, “um sure, you can come in,” I told him jokingly. “Mother wants you dressed and down for dinner in an hour,” he told me. I just nodded and went started towards the bathroom, but Draco had blocked my entry way. “Draco move! After all this time I’ve spent here you haven’t noticed that it takes me a while to get ready, and you standing right there isn’t going to make me--” his lips crashed to mine for the third time today. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me. I started kissing him harder, not really knowing or caring about what I was doing. It ended too soon when Draco pulled away. “You have got to stop doing that,” I told him breathing deeply. I looked up, “what was that for, there isn’t even any mistletoe over us.” I told him. He brought his lips to mine once more, though it was very brief and simply said, “I know,” and walked out of my room. He is really making things more complicated for me, I’ve got to tell Blaise about this, but if I do he’d break up with me for sure. But then that would be great, and Draco and I could… whoa what am I thinking. I like Blaise now, and I have to get over Draco. But he makes it so hard with his simultaneous acts of kissing me. I went into my closet and pulled out this very elegant white and red dress. I looked at myself in the mirror and all I could see was my mother. Silent tears slowly flowed down my eyes as I took in the sight. “Adree, you look beautiful,” a voice from behind me said, though I continued to look at my reflection. I felt a hand wipe away a tear and I finally broke away from my reflection and looked at Fathers. “You look exactly like your mother did when she was your age,” he looked down at me smiling, and I could see his eyes were a little watery also. He held out his arm and I looked at him confused. “I’m escorting you down today,” he told me. So I looped my arm through his and we walked down together. “Oh Lucius look at them, it’s like Elizabeth is alive once more.” Narcissa said smiling. Lucius merely nodded, not paying any attention to us. I can’t believe this man is actually Father’s friend. Then there was Draco and when I reached the end of the stairs he took my hand in his and gently kissed it. I smiled. “You look nice, Adriana,” he told me formally. “As do you,” I told him. Father took my hand and led me to the dining table. We all took seats and ate and socialized with one another. Like I’ve said this is not something that I would have ever expected from the Malfoys. “Well I think it is time we exchanged gifts,” Narcissa said excitedly. “here Adriana yours first, its from Lucius and I.” she told me handing me a book, The Success on being a pureblood. “oh, look dear she likes it so much that she’s lost for words.” She said when I wouldn’t open my mouth. “Um, thank you Narcissa, Mr. Malfoy,” I said laying the book on the table. She smiled at me and then she went on to giving out the other presents. My father handed me a book also. “I think you will like this very much,” he told me with a warm smile. It was a scrap book of consisting of pictures of me, him, and…. Mother. “Oh Father, this is the best thing I’ve gotten all day.” I whispered to him, because I didn’t want Narcissa to hear me. “Anything for you,” he told me. “Well I guess I’m the last person who didn’t give you a gift.” Draco told me and he pulled out a small box. I opened it and it was a necklace, with half a heart that said loves. It was pretty but I was a bit confused. He pulled out a matching one that was concealed fairly well under his clothes. His said first. I looked up at him, “Thanks Draco,” I said. Dinner ended a few minutes after that and I walked back to my room, Draco followed me in. “hey, Draco, look about all that kissing earlier today it can’t happen again. I’m with Blaise now, and it just isn’t right,” I told him. He sighed. “I know Adriana, I just couldn’t help myself, I missed the feel of your lips against mines. I missed sneaking into the room of requirement and waking up with you in my arms. I missed your smile, your eyes, that little mole above your lip. I just want you back Adriana. I shouldn’t have let you get away in the first place.” He told me, taking my hand in his. “I miss you too, a lot. You don’t understand how much I miss your touch. Your smirks, the feel of your lips against mine. But there can’t be an us, as long as Blaise is in the picture.” I told him and brought his hand to my face and rested my cheek in his palm. “I can get Blaise out of the picture,” he told me with a smile, though there was no hilarity in his tone. “That won’t be necessary, look it’s me and Blaise now. But that doesn’t mean we can’t be friends, right? Because I couldn’t take it if you started ignoring me again.” I told him smiling. “I guess you’re right, Smith.” he told me with a playful smirk. “Yep, I know Malfoy, now I think it is time for you to go to your room.” I told him and moved his hand from my face. He sighed, but didn’t argue and walked towards the door. “Goodnight, friend,” he said emphasizing the word friend. “Goodnight,” I said with a smile and he walked out.
