Rollercoaster LOVE

?

"Sparks, you can't be angry. They'd written me asking." George tells me.

"You haven't been around. How do you know?" I asked him.

I was angry. I missed him. I missed our snuggles, talks, games, pranks, and everything in between.

Looking around George takes me by the hand behind a bookcase.

"How could I when you weren't around? I searched and couldn't find you."he tells me.

He backed me on the wall with his arm above my head so I had to face him. I breathed in his cinnamon smell and calmed down. My heart felt like it dropped into my stomach as I looked into his eyes.

"I thought you'd been busy.. you know with Alicia and all." I snap.

"Alicia? Spinnet?" He asks me as if he'd been hanging out with another girl.

I felt him inching closer to me as I nodded.

"There's nothing going on with her," he whispers in my ear. He rests his forehead on my shoulder,"You're killing me here, Amber."

"What do you mean?" I whisper, nervously. Draco made me nervous but this was different. The question I asked could change everything between George and I. I needed to know where I stood.

He picked his head up and looked at me straight in the eyes and kept quiet for the longest 30 seconds of my life.

"Come with me, now." he commanded. He led me back to gather our books as we walked to the common room.

He takes me up to his bedroom and shuts the door. We set our books down on his desk and I sit on his bed waiting to see what he'd do. He was like a predetor now. Making me his prey. I gulped when he stopped pacing and took sigh.

He sits down next to me and pulls me into a hug which I return.

"You don't know then?" he asks me.

"Know what, George?" I ask quietly.

"I like you." he says.

"You what?" I ask.

"Do I need to spell it out for you? Do you see any other girls in my room? Do I allow anyone else to freely come and help themselves to my clothing or my bedroom?" he asks me.

"George.. I assumed you were with Alicia. You'd been spending all your time with her lately." I tell him.

He laughs and shakes his head.

"Ironic, isn't it. I'd been asking her for help on how to ask you out." he tells me.

My jaw dropped. George. George Weasley liked ME back? How could that be? I couldn't grasp it and pulled him in for a hug. Before I knew what I was doing, it felt like gravity pulled us together and I kissed him.

It was soft and tender. It was full of emotions that we'd been holding onto. I felt him smile against me as I kissed him back. Getting lost in the kiss I pushed him back on the bed and felt our tounges fighting for dominance.

Remembering Draco, I pull back. "Shit."

I jump off and run my hands through my hair.

"Amber, what's wrong?" He asks getting closer to me, his voice laced with concern.

"George, I can't do this right now." I tell him.

"What's wrong? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you, especially after every-" he starts.

"It's not you. It's Draco. Well Draco and I." I say looking away.

"What do you mean?"he asks me looking hurt.

My heart shattered. Sure Draco and I weren't together but we hadn't spoken about what happened yet and I'm off snogging George.

"He and I hooked up last night." I whisper.  I feel myself starting to tear up. I'm not the best at processing emotions clearly.

"I need to go." I tell him.

"Amber, wait." he tells me stopping me. I turn around and stare into his chocolate orbs.

"George I need to sort this out." I tell him.

"I know, I know. I just want you to know... if you need time, I'm okay with that. I'll trust any desicion you make." he tells me.

I nod gratefully. George was too good for this world.

"Ginny, what do I do?" I sobbed to her. Ginny and I snuck into the Prefects bathroom, drinking firewhiskey. The tubs in here were practically the size of a small pool. I needed help. I didn't know which way to turn.

"Do you like them both?" Ginny asks.

"Yes. I don't know how to explain it. They're both caring and great guys besides Draco being a douche. I know I'm supposed to marry him one day but.... George is so safe for me. He's gentle and loving. Where Draco seems dangerous. He's exciting though." I tell her.

She nods and smirks. I see her mind working out different solutions.

"Well why not have them both?" she asks me.

"What?"I ask.

"You heard me. Why not date both to see whom you'd like better? Make them take you on proper dates. The second task is coming and I know that George has been trying to help harry solve the egg." Ginny tells me.

"Woulnd't that be wrong of me? Stringing them both along?" I ask her.

"Not if you tell them both that you're confused. Reveal your feelings to them. I know you don't want to but it would help them understand and maybe show you the best parts of themselves." She tells me.

I nod. Maybe it wasn't a bad plan. We drank Firewhiskey for awhile before going back to our common room.  I felt refreshed and decided to find George first. Ginny winked at me wishing me luck.
