A few seconds into the kiss I realise what I am actually doing and try to push him away but his hands placed on my waist pull me closer leaving no space between us. We interrupt the kiss when gasping for air. He looks me in the eyes and turns me around so that I am the one leaning against the wall placing his lips on mine; this time even more passionate and heated. His hands wander to my face stroking my cheeks while placing passionate kisses down my chin and neck while softly sucking on it.
What am I doing? A sudden reminder of what's happening makes me push him away. Still startled and out of breath I try to get myself together. What the fuck is wrong with me?
"What the fuck?" He mumbles to himself, looking down. His lips are swollen and red and probably just as ticklish as mine.
"This never happened." I eventually speak out.
"But it did."
"You won't mention this to anyone. We won't talk about this ever again." I glare at him with my eyebrows pulled together. He's still out of breath and so am I. I feel burning traces on my neck. "Did you give me a fucking hickey?"
"Looks like it." He smirks.
"Fucking dick." I groan and trace them with my fingers. "How am I supposed to cover them up?"
"Don't. Let everyone see that you're also just one of many who fell for Draco Malfoy." He is so full of himself. I'd like nothing more than to punch this stupid smile away.
My eyes wander down. "The bulge in your pants tell me that you enjoyed this as well." Without further ado I immediately turn around and enter the restroom to check myself in the mirror. The marks are visible. It'll be hard to cover them up. I don't even have any makeup with me. And I don't know where Kam is. Fuck. I have no clue what's gotten into me. I'm usually not like this. A few girls enter the bathroom within the next ten minutes but none of them have a concealer or anything close to my shade.
"Why'd you want to cover it?" One muggle asks while looking at the marks on my neck. "They look hot."
"Not if it's from a boy you hate." I simply reply. The two girls look at each other and burst out in laughter. "What? What's so funny?"
"You don't let someone you hate get this intimate with you, girly." The other one remarks and I reply with an annoyed groan. "Is he hot though?"
"Some might consider him attractive." I admit.
"Then where's the problem? Is he in a relationship?"
"Jesus have mercy with the girl who ends up with him." I whisper under my breath and continue: "We have a complicated backstory."
"How complicated?" The girl sits down on the sink while the other one brushes through her hair. I've been in here for too long, I wonder if anyone is worried about me. No one called yet so I assume not.
"His father killed mine."
Complete silence. Yeah that was definitely killed the mood.
"Okay yeah, that is indeed a complicated backstory." The one brushing her hair agrees and takes out her phone. "I've got an idea." She types something in her phone and then looks up. "If your friends really can't know you've made up with that guy just use my cousin. He's on his way. Just say he was the one to give you those hickeys."
"He won't mind?" I wonder and she shakes her head.
"Don't worry though, girly. No one will care about that anyway. And sorry-', the other muggle strokes the back of my head, 'for your loss."
I smile at them. Oh, to be a muggle and randomly become best friends with other muggles in the restroom of a club. "Thank you. For everything."
"We got you, babe." The girl hug me. "Now I gotta pee. My cousin will be waiting outside for you. He has light blonde hair."
I nod and leave the bathroom.
"Are you the girl who needs a fake date?" Huch. I turn around. A light haired boy with brown eyes smiles at me. He is cute. I nod. "I'm Logan."
I shake his hand. "Y/N."
"Nice to meet you. So my cousin didn't tell me any details, what do I have to do?"
Gosh, this feels weird. "Um- basically I need you to make my friends believe that you did these marks on my neck." I point at them. "It's a long story."
"Got it." He takes my hand but lets it go when I flinch. "Oh sorry."
"No it's fine. I was just startled." I hold his hand and leave the corridor and make my way to the booth. When I arrive I notice that almost everyone - except Ron and Harry - is already there; most of them look either wasted or tired. Malfoy is talking with the same girl that's been with him the whole night.
"Hey, hey!" Kam shouts as she sees me. Her eyes widen and her hand covers her mouth in surprise when she sees the guy next to me and the spots on my neck. "Yo! My sis is getting dick!"
Everyone's heads turn around and I sit down in embarrassment. "This is Logan."
"Well well. Hello, Logan." Kam giggles. She is clearly drunk and the six empty shot glasses in front of her confirm my assumption. Kieran raises an eyebrow and I gesture him that I'll talk to him later on.
"Nice to meet you." He simply says. He doesn't look uncomfortable at all which is really surprising because I - for one - feel so weird. Malfoy's glances burn into me and I shoot him a pissed stare, hoping that it'll make him stop.
"Tell me, Logan. Do you live close?" Kam bends over.
He replies with a nod.
"Then I know who won't be sleeping in her own bed tonight."
"Kam..." I hide my face in my hands. Turning my face left I whisper him a 'sorry'. "What were you guys talking about?"
"Nothing important. Looks like you have more to say." Hermione interjects, a smirk plastered on her face. Before I can answer we get interrupted by a ringing sound. Logan excuses himself and leaves saying he'll be back in a bit. "Girl we've been here for less than an hour."
"He's so hot though. Does he have a brother?" Kam asks causing Kieran to tilt his head back and groan. "Wait, how far did you guys go?"
I didn't even know his name like two minutes ago. Stop bombarding me with questions.
"Look at her neck. It probably wasn't just holding hands." Fred remarks taking a sip from his drink.
"I-"
"It's so crazy." Kam shrieks.
"Crazy indeed.', Malfoy chimes in ignoring the girl next to him completely. How rude. I feel sorry for her. He's been watching our conversation the whole time while she's desperately trying to get his attention. 'Some might say, unbelievable."
"Shut up, Malfoy." Kieran expresses.
"What do you mean?" Hermione questions him.
A grin grows on his face and he shoves the girl who's been halfway sitting on his lap away causing her to almost fall to the ground. "Just that. It's almost unbelievable how you were able to pull a guy when you were sitting here the whole time."
"I don't have to explain myself to you." I simply reply.
He laughs but it's a malicious laughter. "Of course you don't. But why don't you tell us how those little love marks on your neck really happened?"
I panic. This ass. Why can't he remain silent and pretend it never happened like a normal gentleman would. Can't he see that I am just doing this in order to actually keep this a secret so that no one finds out? I knew that kissing him was a mistake and now he's never going to shut up about it. When I open my mouth wanting to answer I get interrupted by Logan suddenly appearing next to me.
"Listen, dude.' He sits down and puts his arm around my shoulder. Oh he's muscular. "I don't know what you think you know, but she was screaming my name like ten minutes ago so I can guarantee that I gave her those marks."
My lips turn into a thin line and I try my best not to show my shocked face. Hermione's mouth opens and she starts squealing and so does Kam.
"With that being said, I should go." Logan whispers into my ear so that no one can hear it. "I have to get my cousin home. Will you be alright?"
I nod and silently say "Thanks." He says goodbye in the round before leaving the club leaving everyone startled and surprised. "Damn, what is this mood."
"Exactly. We', Kam stands up and pulls me up. 'need to dance. Hermione, you coming?"
"What about us?" Ron questions.
"Stay in your lane, Ronald Bilius Weasley. This is only for the ladies." I reply and laugh if off when he complains about me calling him by his middle name. He hates it when anyone mentions it. We leave the boys behind and make our way to the dance floor where we- well, we don't really dance. We actually fight disrespectful and disgusting boys who grind at Kam. Especially after I almost get involved in a fight we decide to go back to our seats.
"Y'all, we are exhausted. Should we go to the diner across the street and eat something?" Hermione suggests when we reach the booth again. We are all pretty much out of breath or just really tired.
Everyone agrees. When we are about to leave, Kam stops. "Where's Malfoy?"
I didn't even notice.
"Oh, he went with-. There he is!" Zabini points at Malfoy who's leaving a storeroom at the other side of the pub. His shirt is knitted and his cheeks are in a reddish undertone. Behind him there's the girl who's been with him the entire night. Her hair is messy, her lipstick is smudged, and she looks away in awkwardness when I notice her fixing her shirt skirt.
"Yo! That's my man!" Zabini high fives him when he joins us, the girl shyly standing next to him.
"Don't be a fucking jock, Zabini." I groan. It must be pretty embarrassing already because we all know about her doings with Malfoy. And Zabini has the audacity to make it even more awkward.
"I'm just congratulating my man for getting la-"
I slap the back of his head causing him to hiss. "We're going to the diner across the street." I explain to them, without looking at Malfoy though. The girl looks away the whole time but when my eyes meet hers I smile at her assuring that she doesn't have to be embarrassed. I don't know what's going on in Malfoy's sick mind to fuck with someone in a filthy rusty storeroom but that's on them. But the least he could do is have the decency to tell his friend to shut up.
"Are you also coming, Malfoy? I mean you came already but are you coming to the diner?" Oh, Ron. Shut up. I shoot him a deadly glare which makes him look down and mouth a 'sorry'.
"I guess." Malfoy takes his jacket and walks in the direction of the exist without waiting for us.
"Are you coming as well?" I ask the girl, a smile plastered on my face. She hesitates to answer but then replies with a slight nod. We all leave the pub eventually and go to the small place to catch a bite before heading back to Hogwarts. It's still really early but most of us have been studying the whole day which can be pretty exhausting.
"Why's she here?" Malfoy annoyingly slaps the menu on the table when he sees the girl sitting down next to him. We separated the group in two. I am sitting at the table with Kieran and Kam next to me and Malfoy, the girl - whose name we still don't know-, and Zabini in front of us. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Fred and Luna, who's been quite the entire night, are at the table behind us.
"Why not?" Kieran questions back, raising an eyebrow at him and clenching his fists under the table.
"She has no fucking reason to be here." Malfoy grunts and leans back. Her watery eyes soon turn into single tears falling down her cheeks. The poor girl.
"The fuck you talking about?" I interfere. "You had sex with her like fifteen minutes ago."
"So?"
"So?" I repeat with disgust in my voice. "So, you should be a bit more respectful, don't you think?"
"I don't."
This bitch. I take a deep breath and continue, trying my best to keep my voice down so I don't cause a scene. "Weird. Before you fucked her you weren't saying those things. Is that you way of treating women, Malfoy? Tell them sweet things, and then treat them like shit after getting what you want?"
"It works on the naive and stupid ones." I know as a fact that's he's not just talking about the girl sitting next to him, but also the one sitting in front of him. He really still thinks he has any power over me. I kissed him because I wanted to. He really thinks I am that predictable, huh? "In case you are as stupid as you look:', he looks at the girl. 'Get the fuck out of here. I fucked you once and that was it."
She grabs her purse and runs away, sobbing.
"Y/N, please don't start a fight." Zabini silently begs me. "Just let it go."
"I'll go after her." Kam stands up and follows the girl.
"You're a fucking bitch, Malfoy. You're pathetic. You're one of the most disgusting human beings, I know."
He chuckles and leans forward playing with the hem of my jacket. I pull it away. "You weren't complaining earlier, when you kissed me and let me fucking suck your neck."
I hold my breath. He really did it. It took him about an hour to reveal our secret. If this doesn't prove that he's one of the most disrespectful people, I don't know what else does. I've never asked him for anything, but only to be quiet and not mention this kiss to anyone. And he couldn't even do that. My glance instinctually wander to Kieran who's also looking at me, surprise and a hint of doubt covering his face.
"Stop fucking lying." Kieran steps in.
"Why would I? You really believe she had sex with that guy from earlier? She? Come on, man, you know her better than me."
A sudden change in his eyes tells me that he believes Malfoy. I've done some pretty bold things in my life but I never hoked up with a complete stranger. I was able to make everyone else believe it, but not Kieran. He knows me too well. Even better than Ron or Fred. There are certain things I'd never tell them but with Kieran it's different. He knows absolutely everything about me. "Is it true?"
Well, lying is pretty useless now. I look down.
"You're a fucking bitch." Kieran exclaims and I gasp, looking up. Did he call me a bitch? "You're a fucking bitch for not being able to keep your mouth shut, Malfoy." No, he's talking about Malfoy. "What kind of decent man exposes a girl like that? The fuck yOu think was gonna happen? Did you think I'd judge her? You should be glad she even let someone this sickening and pestilential touch her."
"What did you just call me?" Draco stands up and so does Kieran. "Who the fuck do you think you are, huh? Listen, mate, I don't even know you bu-"
"Exactly, you rat.', Malfoy gets interrupted by Kieran. Everyone in the diner has turned absolutely silent. They're watching the ongoing scene. I hear Hermione and Luna whispering asking themselves what had happened. 'You don't know me. Because if you did, you wouldn't be messing with someone who's important to me."
"Oh, she rode you as well?" A sneaky grin covers his face, followed by a provocative wink, makes Kieran loose it completely.
"Let's take this outside."
"Gladly."
They storm out the diner with the wands in their hands. We follow them while Ron and Fred desperately try to stop some muggles from walking after us. "Kieran, just let it go!"
"What the hell happened? I was gone for like two minutes." Kam runs after us. The boys walk towards the courtyard behind the diner and throw their jackets on the ground before pointing at each other with their wands.
"Long story." I simply say.
"Malfoy, Wright! Stop!" Harry attempts to walk in-between them but we stop him telling him it's to dangerous to go there now. "Wright, if any professor finds out-"
"-I couldn't care less." He finishes the sentence and looks back to Malfoy. "I will end this son of a bitch."
"Oh yeah? Try me."
Kieran can get pretty aggressive sometimes but he's not a complete barbaric monster, so he wouldn't seriously hurt him. But Malfoy would. He used one of the unforgivable spells on a muggle earlier and he wasn't even feeling apologetic. He enjoyed seeing his pain and suffering. He's mental. I am seriously concerned that he might hurt Kieran.
"Kieran. He's not worth it." I try to calm him down. "He's just being a dick. That's how he is. Fighting him and risking your own safety won't change him."
"I don't want to change him. I want to hurt him."
"Expelliarmus!" Malfoy speaks. Kieran is able to dodge the ray of magic by a few inches.
"I'm too drunk for this." Zabini sits down next to a bin and leans against it.
"Remind me to never borrow you clothes ever again." I mumble and focus back on the wranglers in front of us. Oh fuck it. I run in their direction and stand right in between their wands. "Stop being fucking irrational and stupid."
"Get the fuck out of my way." Malfoy demands, his jaw clenched.
"Be careful how you talk to her!" Kieran takes a step closer.
"Enough!" I yell. "No one needs this kind of bullshit. Kieran, I don't need you to defend me. I'm perfectly able to take care of things myself." I grab his wand and point it at Draco stabbing his hand with it.
"Ouch!" He grunts and lets his wand fall down.
"We've been nothing for welcoming and nice to you, Malfoy. If you're going to be a dick go somewhere else. But if you want to stay with this group you need to step up your game and start being less cocky."
They both look at each other.
"Maybe we should head back to Hogwarts?" Kam suggests as she steps closer to calm her brother down. She puts her arm on his shoulder and gently strokes it. He breathes out and nods before following her back in to pay for the meal. And so do Harry, Hermione and Luna.
"Can we go now as well?" Zabini stands up.
"Go ahead." I tell him and add a "We'll be fine" when he hesitates.
"What?" Malfoy asks me when we are alone.
"Why'd you do it?"
"Huh?"
"Why did you tell them? I told you, that I didn't want anyone to know."
"You provoked me."
"I said that your behaviour was fucked up because it was!" Breathe. "What is your problem anyway? Why do you always have to be so mean to everyone?"
"Why do you care?"
"I don't. I really don't. But I do when I see you hurting people around you. If you're gonna be all destructive and hateful, be it. But don't drag others down with you. You're hurting people and you don't even seem to care."
"Because I don't."
I scoff. "Of course you don't. You're Draco Malfoy after all. Son of Lucius Malfoy - the great traitor and murderer."
"Stop bringing this up all the time. I told you to stop mentioning my family the last time."
"Don't worry. I won't be mentioning them anymore. In fact, I won't be mentioning anything to you ever again. You're toxic. You're fucked up. And the more I surround myself with you, the more it changes me as well."
"Out of curiosity.', he steps closer. 'How do you plan on avoiding my company?"
"I don't know yet. But I will. Somehow. We still have the same classes, and friends; and we're both Slytherins so it won't be easy. But I will. And I am well aware that you give absolute zero shits on what anyone, except you, wants, but for your own sake, I am asking you to do the same. Just don't bother me. Don't talk to me. Don't even look at me."
He swallows his salvia. "Fine."
I lightly nod. "Fine." And with that I turn around joining the rest of the group who have been waiting for us in front of the diner. A few seconds after me Malfoy arrives as well and we all make our way back to Hogwarts.
