Dark Waters Require Warmth

Chapter 12 - Coffee Shop Drama

Bellatrix for once woke up before Hermione and decided she would bring her sleeping goddess of a girlfriend breakfast and a coffee. She rolled out of bed and quickly threw on a black tank top, a corset and a long black skirt. She added some black doc martens and left the room as quietly as possible, to not wake Hermione.

She headed down the hall and asked the front desk person where the nearest Starbucks equivalent was. Out of the corner of her eye was someone who she recognized almost immediately and she knew she only had a couple of seconds before she could leave without being seen. She was about to leave the hotel when she heard someone yell out to her, "Bellatrix, is that you?" 'Fuck me.' She thought as she turned around and faced the woman who she least expected to see here.

"Hello Layla." Bellatrix tried to sound as civil and nice as possible when she just wanted to walk out the door without speaking back. The woman in question was wearing a long, tight, white dress and she had her light brown hair up in a messy bun. Her emerald green eyes were covered with glasses that Bellatrix knew weren't even prescription glasses. She rolled her eyes and prepared herself for this conversation.

What she didn't expect though was for the woman to walk up and envelop her in a hug. "Please let go of me. We are no longer close enough for you to hug me." Bellatrix pulled away from the hug and scoffed due to the hurt look on Layla's face.

"But it's been such a long time. I've missed you!" It had really only been three years, which to Bellatrix wasn't even long enough.

"Mhm. So what are you doing here?"

"I'm on a vacation with my... um friend." Layla smiled suspiciously.

"Well, have fun."

"What about you Trixie?"

"Do not call me that." Bellatrix thought about just walking away from her but she didn't want to get kicked out of the hotel for yelling if things got worse.

"I just thought it was nice seeing you. I hope you have a nice time staying here. We should get back in touch! I would love to see you again." Layla wrapped her arms around herself and looked at Bellatrix with puppy eyes.

"I don't have a phone so no. And I also have a girlfriend now so I'd prefer never seeing you again, if so help me Satan. Goodbye now." Bellatrix turned to walk away and she heard the woman behind her fake sniffle as if she were crying. She knew she was faking because the woman had never shed a tear in her entire life. Her heart was too cold to give a fuck about anything to cry about it.

Bellatrix finally ended up at the coffee place and ordered an overly sweet Frappuccino and a breakfast wrap for Hermione, and a black coffee for herself.

"Oh, fancy seeing you here!" 'Kill me now.'

"Did you follow me?" Bellatrix almost thought about climbing over the counter and throwing a drink at her but she knew that Andromeda would kill her if she found out about this situation.

"Of course not. You think so little of me Bellatrix. We used to be so close."

"Ya until you had to go and ruin it, which I thank you for because I met the most wonderful person in the world. If you didn't go off and cheat on me with several women, I would still be stuck with your ass." Bellatrix picked up the food she ordered and hoped that if she got back to the hotel quick enough before Layla's order was ready, that maybe she wouldn't find where her room was located.

"Bella! I already told you I was sorry! I loved you."

"Oh ya. You really showed it with fucking someone on OUR bed while I was sleeping right next to you. I'm not as fucking stupid as you treated me and I hope your 'friend' gets out as soon as they can." Bellatrix picked up the drinks and threw Layla a sarcastic smile. "Have a nice time Layla. Hope I never have to see you ever again."
