"I hate you, too." - Draco Malfoy Fanfic

Chapter 15

"A lot of people tell me I'm a bit dreamy. But I like the idea of that. Of being somewhere else."

"Malfoy, I swear to Merlin-"

"Stop calling me Malfoy." Draco unbuckled his belt, tossing it to the side. "I am very uncomfortable." Eden spun around so her back faced him. 'Why can't I call you Malfoy? Everyone else calls you Malfoy."

"Why did you stop calling me Draco?" The sound of fabric thudding to the grass drifted to Edens ears and she fought down the urge to steal a peak of him. "Don't you dare take another step, I am in my underwear." She huffed.

"As am I." He shrugged and Eden did steal a peak at him this time. "Can you just think this over for a moment. You hate me and there is a perfectly good stream over there." Eden pointed behind her--hoping her finger landed in the right direction. "Afraid you won't be able to resist me?" His voice was closer now.

"Your ego astounds me, Malfoy." Eden bent her knees, lowering herself so the water reached her chin. "You didn't answer my question before." Draco plunged his legs into the water with a small splash. "Because I know it pisses you off."

"Because you just know me so well?" Draco scoffed--he was a lot closer now. Eden turned, her eyes meeting with Draco's chest--more muscular than she had imagined. They were barely a foot apart. "What-" She looked up, meeting his gaze as he towered over her. Thank god he still wore his boxers.

She straightened, refusing to be intimidated by him and all his.. tallness. "Do you remember the first time you stood in my way?" She lifted her chin defiantly. "You punched me in the face." He recalled with greater amusement that Eden would have wished.

"Such a pretty face. It would be a shame to mess it all up again." Edens eyes blazed like green ice. "Pretty?" Draco cocked his head ever-so-slightly, grinning. It took great effort for Eden not to scoff. "Did I say that?" She raised her brows. "I don't think I did."

If Eden where to stand on her toes, their noses would touch--the thought sent a jolt through her as Draco's breath tickled her forehead. "Do you think you're being all brave and domineering for this?" Draco's hands twitched at his side. 

"Because, if so." He brought a finger to the end of her chin. "You are giving me entirely the wrong idea." He smirked, raising her chin even higher before she stepped back and out of his reach. Fine, you win this one, Eden thought bitterly.

"You are repulsive." She slowly ducked under the water, coming back up on the other side of the waterfall--her dark hair clinging to her skin. The space behind the water fall was small with signs of erosion. It would fit only three people, Eden guessed.

The splashing of the waterfall, the drops of condensed water dropping to the surface--and even Edens breath echoed across the stony walls. There was a sudden movement, and then Draco broke the surface--blonde hair plastered to his own forehead before he brushed it back with one hand.

Edens heart did a quick leap before she looked away. He scared me, she thought. That's all. "No treasure." Draco's voice echoed in disappointment. "I stuffed it all in my bra before you got here." Eden hummed, running her hands up the caves wall. 

Draco watched as the water slipped down her bare arms towards her shoulders. He had wanted to paint the collection of silver streams and Willows that sat outside the waterfall--but now he thought perhaps this would make a lovelier picture.
