{Strawberry Tea} Sequel.
Atlas Raye Malfoy the kid of the Harry and Draco Malfoy. Along with the rest of his chaotic siblings, and cousins. Not to mention the boy he's head over heels for Asher Wren Weasley. The only problem with all of it, is th...
I couldn't sleep. The only time I got any sleep was when Ezra wasn't with me. There were no windows, but I could tell that the sun was starting to come up by the way he shifted around restlessly.
His arm wrapped around my torso as he held me tightly. I turned to face him and sighed. "Are you up" I murmur and his eyes fluttered open. "Well now I am" he grumbles his eyes glancing towards the door.
He immediately retracts his arm from my body and yawns rubbing his eyes. "Did they come in?" He asks and I shake my head. "No" I answered and he groans. "How do people sleep like that? It's so uncomfortable" he whines, stepping off of the bed. He picks my shirt up and throws it to me.
I pull the shirt back on, rubbing my eyes. They were burning. I was desperate for sleep. "Atlas always cuddled me" I smile remembering how he held me through the night with no complaints. "Yeah, but if what you're telling me about Atlas is true he's way bigger than me" he laughs and I nod looking him up and down.
I was terrified of Ezra when we first met. He immediately came onto me. I cried silently while his hands traveled my body. My 'parents' smiled as he touched me everywhere.
Kingsley cheered watching us. I just let the tears stream down my face, the look he first gave me was awful and sinister. "Why don't you go get to know each other in your room Asher" Ginny cheers and that's exactly what we did.
Once the door was closed his playboy look was gone and he rolled his eyes. "They're awful" he hissed.
Ezra (22)

That's how we got here. He knows everything about me and I know everything about him. We've kind of been our own little therapist for each other. "Here get in bed" he grumbles, slipping off of it once again.
"I can tell you didn't get any sleep" he whispers and I nod wiping my eyes again. "But what if they come in?" I mumble, making my way towards the bed anyway. "I'll jump into bed with you if I hear anything" he assures me and I exhale climbing under the covers. The warmth instantly made me drowsy.
As much as I wanted to stay up I couldn't. My eyes shut and I cuddled close to myself. It was something I wish I could have enjoyed more of. Sadly it was short lived though as Ezra jumped onto the bed.
I laid flat and opened my eyes wide to find him over top of me. "Mmm good morning love" he coos, kissing my cheek. I tear up and he gives me a sympathetic look. "Good morning" I choke out staying still.
Suddenly he looks back and chuckles a deep chuckle. "Hey" he sits up and I prop myself onto my elbows to see Ginny in the doorway. "Awe don't stop, I just came to unlock the door and get you guys for breakfast" she cheers clapping happily.
He grins at her rubbing his hand over my shoulder. She tilts her head to the side with a smile. "We'll be right down" he calls laying over me again. "Isn't that right baby boy" he continued kissing my forehead.
"Wrap your arms around my neck" Ezra quickly whispers before coming back up. I nod and do as he says before replying with a quick hum "mhmm right down" I make sure to say it loud enough for her to hear.
She lets out a content noise. "It's nice seeing you happy" she closes the door after that comment. No click. Ezra rolls off of me and I break down into tears. "Asher I'm sorry, Buddy I had to make it believable" he sits next to me wiping my tears.
"I'm sorry, I'm tired- I-I want to go home" I whimper and he pulls me into a hug. "Shhh it's okay, I'm going to get you out of here" he mumbles and I shake my head. "Us, we're both getting out of here" I remind him and he chuckles, pulling me off of the bed. I cough into my arm and the pain in my throat is worse than usual.
"Let's get some breakfast, and then you can sleep" he sings, pulling a shirt on. I wipe my tears away and run my hands through my hair trying to calm it.
Ezra takes my hand and squeezes it reassuringly before we make our way out the door. Walking through the living room my eyes glance to the door. If only I could just- "Asher no" Ezra tugs my arm.
I nod and he helps me into the kitchen. "Good morning!" Ginny smiles, setting the last plate down. Kingsley already had his glass of rum in front of him. "Morning" he grumbles while taking a drink.
"Good morning" Ezra puts his playboy act on moving his hand to my waist. "Good morning" I answer meekly, with that he lets go of me and I move to my seat, Ezra next to me.
The three immediately dug into their food as I picked at mine. My body hadn't been digesting it too well lately. If I eat too much I'll throw up and that makes the adults angry with me.
Clearing my throat I look at Ginny. I trusted her more. "Can I get some meds soon... or herbs maybe?" I asked, knowing I wasn't going to make it much longer. She opens her mouth to answer but gets hit in the head by Kingsley making her shut up.
"Come work for daddy and I'll give you whatever you want" he smirks, drumming his fingers on the table. I tense up and Ezra's hand finds me as he tries to comfort me, but seem uninterested at the same time.
"W-what exactly do I-I have to do" I stuttered, staring at the food on my plate. "You'll come down with me and do whatever the guys pay you for" he laughs like he said the funniest thing in the world.
"Whatever they want?" I repeat the words not thinking I could go through with that. I'm going to die, if I don't do it, but at the same time if I go with him they could kill me. Why am I considering this? I'm so scared.
"Can I think about it" I sigh deeply. "Oh of course dear" Ginny smiles resting her cheek in her palm. Kingsley stands from his chair and I freeze. Flinching with every step as he drew nearer and nearer.
His hand went around my shoulder and he leaned close to my ear. "Sooner or later you will be in there working for me- so you might as well start sooner rather than later" he chuckles before patting my back. Just like that, he was gone, and my... Ginny was sending me a hateful glare. "Look at that you ruined a perfectly good breakfast" she groans into her hand her happy mood suddenly gone. "Sometimes it's so hard taking care of you... no lunch" she then points to the door.
I stand without any hesitation fine with the punishment. I looked to the front door as I passed it and realized I didn't even know where I was. There was snow on the ground. I don't have shoes. I have nothing.
My eyes swept across the room landing on Kingsley who was sending me an amused look. Biting my lip nervously I continued to my room shutting the door behind me. He knew what I was thinking. If he gets too angry he's going to bring it up! Then Ginny will get mad and she's mean when she gets mad.
"Breathe- don't hyperventilate" I remind myself pacing around the room. The door begins to open and I stop in my place. It's hardly been 5 minutes. He can't be mad already. Ezra pops his head in and I relax. "It's just you" I whisper as Ezra closes the door behind him holding his arms out for me.
I run over and fall into his arms sobbing. "You can't do it," he whispers, rubbing my back. "Let me do it for you, I'm used to it" he looks the other way while saying this. I know how much he hated it.
"No you can't go back... you took this job to get out of there!" I hiccup while he shakes his head. "No- buddy. I heard the guys talking about you. '17-year-old beauty, fragile, pale, and tiny, easy to break' don't get me started on their methods of breaking you" he groans walking me over to the bed.
"You are 17, I couldn't let them get to you... Buddy, I took this job to take care of you- I couldn't let what happened to me... happen to you" he explains helping me under the covers. "I'm sorry" I apologize, fighting back my tears. He should be the one crying, not me.
"I'm used to it by now, so get some sleep and we can talk in a bit"
