Don't Let Me Fall ~ A Marauders Era Fic ~ Marlene X OC

Chapter 14

A/N: Does anyone else sometimes forget ATYD isn't cannon? Like I had a full on debate with my cousin about Remus's backstory to only realize that I was wrong, not my proudest moment. Also I know that the relationship is kind of fast but remember they have be best friends for over 5 years, and have lived together all those years. :)

The girls were lounging lazily on Samantha's bed, curled into one another. "McGonagall's not going to be happy.. We were supposed to be revising for our NEWTS today, y'know." Sam mumbled. "You worry too much, its not like were the only ones bunking off lessons." Marlene told her, running her fingers through her hair lazily. 

At this moment she had never been so content, she was in the arms of the girl she loved, and she apparently loved her back, what else could someone ask for in life? Nothing could ruin this day, not the war, or the hate, or the fear, because she had Marlene and Marlene had her. "Marls?" she asked quietly. "Hmm?". "When did you find out you liked me?" she asked gazing into Marlenes eyes. Marlene was quiet for a long while, seemingly thinking, "Fourth year.". "Fourth year?". "Do you remember when I feel off my broom in the last game against Hufflepuff? I was in the hospital wing, totally fine but Madam Pomfrey still wouldn't let me leave, you stayed. I sent everyone else away, but you wouldn't budge. I mean I knew I felt something towards you but I didn't know what it was until then. Kind of dumb, isn't it?" Marlene chuckled, still raking her fingers through her hair "When did you know?".

"First year." Samantha informed her. Marlene chuckled at this, "First year? I was absolutely horrid in first year, how the hell did you fall in love with me?". "You weren't that bad!" Marlene gave her a look, "Ok maybe you were, but it was hard not to fall in love with you. I mean here I am on the Hogwarts express, terrified, then this random absolutely beautiful girl sits in my compartment and just starts to talk." She giggled at the memory "I don't think you even took a breath.. I had never heard someone talk so long, but its not like I heard a word you said.. I was, preoccupied.".

"Samantha Joline Riteen! Where you checking me out?" Marlene dramatic accused, a smile creeping onto her face. Sam felt her cheeks turn pink, "Well I couldn't help it! Sorry love, but I was absolutely in love with since day one. And my middle name is not Joline!". it was then Marlenes turn to be flustered, which was a rare sight, she tried to cover it by laughing but Samantha could tell, "What is your middle name?" She asked giggling. "Not Joline." She teased. "Fine don't tell me! Ill figure it out soon.". "Better figure it out before we get married.". She had said it without thinking and she felt Marlene freeze. She cautiously looked at Marlene, who now had a goofy smile on her face and a blush.

Marlene was almost like a female version of James Potter, overly cocky, extremely beautiful, and incredibly kind. You almost never had the chance to catch them off guard, but here was the adorable sight of a vulnerable blushing Marlene and Sam relished it. The light pink that was painted on her cheeks made her light blue eyes sparkle, and the butterflies in both of the girls stomachs stirred. "Do you think were going to fast?" Marlene asked sheepishly. "I don't know, I mean like you said we've known one another since we were 11. I knew I felt something for you since then just didn't have the name for it.".

"Do you have a name for it now?" Marlene asked.

"You know that I do, what do you just like to hear it?" Sam teased.

"You caught me, c'mon give a girl a break!". Sam chuckled at the girl who was grinning at her, she had decided that this was the best day of her life. Here she was, with the girl of her dreams who loved her too, life couldn't be better.

Sam starred into Marlenes eyes lovingly, "I love you." she said slowly.

Marlene just stared at her, taking in every detail, "Say it again.". Sam leaned closer "I love you," and closer, until she was almost straddling Marlene. "I love you." she whispered as she peppered kisses on Marlenes neck, slowly moving towards her lips. She stopped, hovering, the girls' breath meshed together. "I love you." she softly said as she closed the space between them. The kiss was warm and soft, as if in a single second they were going to lose one another, as they continued it became more heated and the passion was gone replaced with lust.

In that moment she had never felt more loved.
