Lexi's POV

"Say you're mine," he says, almost screaming, and I can tell from his look that he did it completely unintentionally.

"Excuse me?" I ask, shocked, because I didn't expect something like that after all this. And by something like this, I mean the greatest sex of my life. I look thoughtfully in his direction and don't catch a single glance from him.

"What did you just say?" I ask a second time, this time a little less dismissively. My question wasn't meant to seem dismissive at all the first time, I was just so surprised by his statement. Understandable, isn't it? Who would have thought that I, of all people, would hear such words coming out of Draco's mouth, huh?

"Nothing... Um... I was just thinking out loud." he stammers out nervously, still not making eye contact.

"And why would you think something like that? There must be some truth to it, right?" I slowly grope my way out.

Not that it comes across wrong, there would be no greater happiness for me at this moment, but we barely know each other to have a relationship. It's all happening too fast for me.

I feel it all going to my head far too quickly and desperately search for something to cover my body. Within seconds, my heart starts up again and my breathing becomes heavy. I stand up, reach for my dress, slip into it and say goodbye and thank Draco.

"I... I'm sorry, I can't do this right now. I'll go upstairs and change for bed." I say shakily as Draco also gets up from the floor and puts on his boxers as I leave the room.

"Lexi! Wait up! Shit... I'm sorry..." I hear him say in an increasingly quiet voice. It breaks my heart to just leave him there after what just happened.

As I leave the room, I hear draco shouting around and hitting everything. With my legs still shaking, barely able to hold me up, tears run down my cheeks as I stumble up the stairs, my shoes in my hands. The rumbling and shouting of Draco becomes quieter and quieter until I close the door to his room behind me and his sounds immediately fade away.

My body immediately slumps to the floor as the door slams into the lock and I lock it with a key, not intending to get up from there anytime soon. A few minutes pass, crying and thinking why I reacted the way I did, when there are footsteps outside the door. I hold my breath, hoping it's just Draco's mum or dad, but I can hear that someone stop just outside Draco's door.

"Lexi?" is what I hear him say. Draco. His voice full of regret and remorse.

"Go, please," I sob out.

"I will not leave until I have told you something. Either you listen to me or you don't. I'll just sit on this side of the door, but I want you to hear this." he says as the pressure of the door presses against my back as he sits down.

Tensely I wrap my bent knees around him and rest my head on them. A small last tear rolls down my cheek as Draco begins to narrate.

"Do you know how we know each other? Well, sure, from school and classes. But do you know why I took all this on myself? No, I'm sure you don't, because the love potion affected your memory. Listen to me. The first time I really noticed you was on the train to Hogwarts, I was sitting next to you and you were reading that poetic book, what was it called? 'You'll come back to yourself'? I'm pretty sure that's what it was. Why am I so sure? I bought it shortly after I read a few lines from your book. I was so fascinated by you because you were completely unfazed when I sat down next to you - other girls at school would go crazy. But not you - you didn't bat an eye at me and calmly continued reading your book." I can hear the dreaminess in his voice and I have to smile because that really sounds like me.
