Patience

Chapter 91

for today's chapter, listen to Someone To You by Banners bc it's my number 1 dancing in the rain song. happy reading guys, gals, and non-binary pals :)

About a week later, I wake up ready to crush Gryffindor. We've got a match against them today and Irma has been training us like crazy to prepare. Though my muscles are crazy sore, I'm ready. I put my quidditch robes on and braid my little braids into one big braid. I lace up my embroidered boots and head out the door. Everyone else has already departed and the common room is oddly empty. I bet the whole house will be at the game today.

"Hey E!" Cedric says, coming up behind me. I smile.

"Hey Ced. You ready for the match?" I ask him.

"Ready as I'll ever be. I just need to catch the snitch before Potter"

"Hell yeah you do. Though I love Harry, you'd better whoop his ass or I'll whoop yours" I tell him and he laughs.

"Yes ma'am" he replies, chuckling. We get to the pitch and I spot Oliver a distance away. I want to go up to his but most of the team is already here so I don't, making my way to Seiko and the team instead. Oliver notices me though and flashes me a grin. I return it before directing my attention to Irma.

"Alright team. You know what to do" Irma says, looking at us very seriously.

    "Win" we all chorus back. Heidi looks like she's trying to stifle a laugh. I grin at her and Seiko bursts out laughing.

~*.'~*.'~

    "That's ten more points to Hufflepuff! Sorry Em, but FUCK HUFFLEPUFF! My bad professor. My bad" Lee cries, begrudgingly changing the score we're up by 30 points and I feel fantastic. We're playing great but George keeps sending bludgers my way and pretending like he's not. It's bloody annoying and I'm about to steal Irma's bat and hit one at him myself. Surprisingly, Hydra looks furious with him.

    "Macavoy is in possession of the quaffle she passes to Preece, who passes to Em, I mean Rosewood. She shoots! She misses! Better luck next time Em. I can't wait to see how that conversation plays out later. Wood you'd better get ready for angry Em. Though I suspect you've seen that before" Lee says, eyeing me suggestively. I give him the finger and keep flying, trying to avoid another bludger and George's glare. I race around, trying to get possession of the quaffle. Suddenly, Lee's booming voice cuts through the air.

    "Diggory's seen something!! He's seen the snitch! Potter is racing after him but Diggory is quite a bit ahead! He's reaching and reaching and HES CAUGHT IT! PRETTY BOY CATCHES THE SNITCH!! HUFFLEPUFF WINS!" Lee shouts. I'm grinning like a mad woman and Seiko is screaming. Heidi and Malcolm join in on the cheering, pumping their fists in the air like crazy. We all go to the ground and hug. Even Hydra joins in for a second. Just a second, but still.

    "You did it Ced!" I cry, wrapping my arms around him. We cheer and cheer some more as most of the Hufflepuff house comes over to where our team stands, screaming and waving their flags excitedly.

~*.'~*.'~

    "Coming to congratulate me?" I call to Oliver as I see him approaching. He grins wildly at me and doesn't say anything until he gets right near me. Like, right near me. His face is inches away from mine and his hand is on my waist.

    "Good game darling" he whispers into my ear. I can hardly breathe.

Then he kisses me. This has happened before between us but, he renders me breathless every time. How does he do it?

    "Is that the only reason you came over here?" I whisper back. He shakes his head and I give him a curious look. He's about to say something but before he can, it starts to rain. Not very hard but still raining.

    "Yes!" I shout and back up. I love the rain. I always have. I twirl around letting it all fall on me. I mean, why not? I was about to shower anyway. Might as well have some fun before I do. I look at Oliver and he's grinning at me. It's full on pouring rain now. It's odd how the weather can go from nice to pouring rain within minutes. Oliver comes up to me to say something.

    "May I have this dance m'lady?" He asks, holding his hand out. I take it and take up position to dance with him. I can barely hear or see anything but none of that matters right now. The only thing that matters is him. He's wearing the ring I gave him and I can feel it pressing against the back of my neck. He kisses me all over. My neck, my hand, my forehead, my nose, and finally my lips. His lips are wet and kind of salty. We're both drenched but it doesn't matter. We dance for what feels like hours and the rain isn't letting up. I don't care though. If anything, it makes this more beautiful. We're dancing and I run away, about to run back into his arms. I think he says something but I don't really know. I can't hear over the rain.

    "What?" I yell, trying to see if he was talking. Again, I think he says something but I can't tell what.

    "What?" I try again.

    "I said, WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND?!" He shouts, louder this time. I walk over to him, speechless.

    "Yes Woody, I'll be your girlfriend" I say finally, gazing up at him. He's grinning and I swear it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. His hair is messed up and sticking to my head but now he isn't just Oliver Wood, he's my boyfriend.

    "Really?" He asks, as if he didn't think I would say yes.

    "Yes really! Now fucking kiss me before I regret that answer!" I yell, smiling. He quickly obliges, kissing me in a way that we've never kissed before. It is soft and sweet and yet rough and passionate at the same time. He lifts me up, and I wrap my legs around his waist. His hand is on the small of my back and then our kisses are no longer sweet. They're desperate and hungry, as if we can't get enough of each other. Though I suppose we can't. These kisses are full of lust and the tension that we've had building up, waiting for this exact moment. Every kiss before this was just practice for this kiss, a kiss between boyfriend and girlfriend. This is everything.

Question of the Day:

IT'S HAPPENING MAY DAY MAY DAY THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME I REPEAT THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME!!! THE OFFICAL SHIP NAME EITHER (or yall can say you hate both and create your own) Rosywood or Emver ?!? Now, a question to go down in history as the question the came after Em and Oliver got together. You are about to fight, what song comes on in your sound track? I (Bella) would want to beat some people (not that i expect to win at all) to 'Better Than Revenge' by T Swizzle. I, Sienna, would probably say the same or maybe Forever and Always by taylor swift (aka mskingbean89)
