7 Shades of green // D.M

Chapter 6

The next morning, I woke up to the usual strong grip of arms around me. but something was odd. instead of smelling vanilla, Scotch, and old books I got greeted by the smell of green apples mints and strong expensive Cologne. I opened my eyes quickly closed him again because the light with shining through the curtains directly in my face. I opened them a tiny bit until they get used to the brightness when I turned around and saw him. a cold shiver made its way down my spine as I saw the platinum blonde hair next to me on the soft silk pillow.

Flashbacks of last night came to my mind making my view blurry in embarrassment. I slowly lifted the sheets only seeing that we both were naked under them. As I sat up quickly covering my naked body with is black silk sheets, I heard a deep groan. "Come back here its early" he spoke in a deep and raspy morning voice. I felt my cheeks getting flustered in a pink shade as I heard his words. Merlin, he sounds hot, I thought to myself while I was sitting stiff in his bed. I couldn't move. I wanted to but it was impossible. "Amber are you alright?" I heard him asking along with the voice of moving sheets which I assumed are from m him sitting up as well. I felt a tear roll down my cheek replaying the last night in my mind and what I've done. Don't get me wrong the night with him was amazing but how could I forget about ceric? "Darling what's wrong?" he asked while slowly rubbing my back trying to comfort me. "I-" I wanted to start the sentence but I felt the words get stuck in my throat. He must have noticed it since he pulled me on his lap into a tight hug. I couldn't help it but as I hugged him back, I felt tears roll down my flustered cheeks. "Amber what's wrong?" he softly placed a kiss on my forehead and gave his best to comfort me. I know that he wasn't good at such thing, but it still felt nice. After a few minutes I collected all my urge and looked up at him with watery eyes. "I cheated on him Draco. I cheated on my boyfriend and so did you. You cheated on Astoria. Why? Why? Did you bring me here last night?" I felt him tense up as these words left my mouth. "Listen", he began, "If ceric really loves you he'll forgive you. I'm sure about it" he spoke in a calming way, but it only made feel worse. How could he be so calm in this situation? He just cheated on his girlfriend with his best friend. I shook my head and cut him off before the last words could leave his mouth. "Why are you so fucking calm?!" he flinched slightly out of surprise why I just yelled at him. "You just cheated on your girlfriend. With me!" "Amber again, calm down its not that bad- ", "yes, it is you idiot! Why me? You knew I have a boyfriend or better say had a boyfriend." I looked down feeling sadness rush over my body as I realized I might lose him. "Listen I'm sorry I- she broke up with me and I just needed someone to talk to." I huff and look at him "greet because you did anything else than talk. Is sex talking for you? If yes- congratulations, you did it!" he sat there speechless at the number of feelings I was throwing at him.

...

I quickly grabbed my clothes and apparated to my dorm. My clothes got thrown on my bed as I rushed quickly into the bathroom and started the shower. I must get rid of him, of my memories of last night with him, of the feeling wanting him. I stepped under the shower feeling the hot water sprinkle on my soft skin. I washed my body and closed my eyes remembering the way he made me feel as I trace my finger over the hickeys he had left.

The memory of him making me beg makes me part my lips in the trance I was. My mind quickly cleared up as I heard a groaning Daphne stumble into the bathroom. "Amber? You have no idea what happened to me last night" she giggled. I wrapped a towel around my body and stepped out of the shower. She talked at least an hour how great her night was with the Ravenclaw she's been seeing for a couple of weeks now. In the meantime, I got ready, packed my trunks, and fixed her too. Daphne used to sleep in my dorm for the past weeks since, well Pansy had Theo over quite often and as Daphne explained it basically impossible to sleep when they have sex, so she slept in my dorm. I think we might share a dorm next year its more fun than having a dorm by yourself.

...

I stepped out the train with my trunks in my hands and some Slytherins behind me. I said goodbye to my friends and pulled Daphne into a quick hug before I walked towards my parents and greatened them. "Mother, Father" I spoke in a low tone. My mother pulled me into a polite embrace and my father held his hand out to shake it, which he always did even to his daughter. I grabbed my mother's hand as we apparated back home.

...

we landed in our living room along with my trunks which our battler already took upstairs to my room. I missed my room in Hogwarts it was dark, but it had its charm. my room at home was completely different than my dorm. here is back in Austria my room was mostly white with them pastels in it mostly green. I was nervous and kept playing with a ring Cedric gave me as a promise ring. I've sent him and later two hours ago where I told them everything. I'm nervous about it I promised no one would cheat in our relationship- but yet I did it. things I felt pure guiltiness and anger on myself for letting him touch me and being in his trance. I've never noticed I had those feelings for Draco. I guess I was hiding them under my surface because I was happy with Cedric but now everything has changed. I am packed my bags moving the clothes back into my closet makeup back to my vanity and filled my bathroom counter with the daily products I use.

...

Five days passed and I haven't heard a word from him yet. Yet again I found myself wandering around the big library in our house. I love it there I've always been there even as a small child. my father used to take me there and read the books to me that I've wanted for hours. The bookshelves are made out of a dark type of wood I think walnut and there are thousands of old books with a thin layer of dust on them. the room is mostly closed with beautiful chandeliers on the ceiling. but there is one corner with small stairs which leads to the second floor of the library. next to the stairs there is a small area with couches you know warm Grey shade and some coffee tables to put the books on your reading. several plants are there which make the room a lot more comfortable to me and bring some life into the library. I grab myself a book and walked to the corner. I sat down on one of the couches. typical held in my hands- Romeo and Juliet. I think a friend's spoke at least 10 times but it's a classic and the drama. to be honest it quite reminds me of my own love life. I don't know where Cedric is or how he's feeling, I don't know if he received my letter or if he's just ignoring me because afterwards written down on the paper. I don't know if he just needs this time too realize what I did and forgive me or if you're really moved on and forgot and ignores me. it destroys me from the inside out. I barely ate in the last few days, I'm not hungry anymore. I look paler with some purple rings under my eyes. I let myself go, this has to change. my biggest problem is I can't talk with anybody about it. I don't want to tell my friends, I'm too ashamed. the same with my mother. she knew about Cedric but she never met him. A few hours passed in my book came to an end. I closed my book and put it on one of the tables letting myself sink back into the comforting pillows on the couch. I looked outside the huge windows next to the couch I was sitting on. it was almost like a wall out of class, I loved it. today was a cold day for the Austrian summer I wore one of cedric's hoodies smelling his calming scent on it. I watched small water drops roll down the window as it started to rain heavier. I felt tired I haven't gotten much sleep lately. the thought of Cedric and what he will be doing kept me awake all night. I felt my eyelids falling close slowly. I wanted to stay awake, but I was too tired and with too weak to keep them open.

....

A few weeks passed and before I knew it, it was August. My parents and I always used to go to on vacation in August. They have told me where we would go this year so stood there in the hall, thee luggage's all by myself, wondering where my parents were. I heard a loud crack in the air as they suddenly stood in front of me. My father grabbed my luggage and apparated away with it. Probably already to the hotel. I'm not the best with aparating so my parents always must do it for me. I held my mother's hand and felt myself twisting in the air with a nauseous feeling in my stomach. I fell down the sky into someone's arms.

I fell into Draco Malfoys arms.

My parents refused to tell me where we are going because... we are here on an island with the Malfoys? Hell, no this must be a dream.
