Closest To Heaven That I'll Ever Be

31. Dancing the night away

r

"Evening...Holy hell trouble! You look hot!"

Draco was on his feet within seconds. He looked a little flustered. I may have been enjoying it. "Ade? Merlin...you look...I mean...you're...wow!" He gasped.

I simple smiled. "Nice to see you too Draco. Hi guys!"

"Well my night just got a whole lot better." Blaise smirked. "My new little buddy is here to dance with me." He stood and pulled me with him to the floor.

"Let's make Mr I'm falling for someone who isn't my girlfriend thank fuck - jealous, shall we?" He wiggled his eyebrows at me and pulled me by my hips closer to him.

We began to dance. Swaying to the music. Blaise turned me as I grind up against him. I could see Draco watching us from his seat.

Green was not his colour.

"Aw trouble! You've quickly become my favourite person. Well girl, and that's saying something. I'm not really into girls." He smirked.

I looked up at him. "Blaise are you gay?" He winked. "How did I not know?"

"No one does really. They suspect I'd say but aren't too sure and no one is brave enough to ask. Until you that is." He laughed.

"I won't say anything." I promised.

"It's ok. It's time they knew." He moved his hands down lower to my ass. "Let's see who gets up first. Draco or Theo. Or maybe Mr Potter over there."

I buried my head in his chest. Mortified.

"Ding, ding, ding we have a winner!" Blaise laughed as Draco made his way down to us on the floor.

He pulled me back out of Blaise's arms and into his own. "Leave her alone Blaise. She's not interested."

"Not in me, no," Blaise winked. Draco and I both blushed. "Who needs a drink?"

"Me!" We both answered in unison.

"Adoreable!" Blaise smirked and lead us to the bar. "Alright, Trouble, what's your poison?"

"Gin and lemonade." I replied.

"Draco?"

"What she said." He still hadn't let go of me. "You ok?" He whispered looking down into my eyes.

"I'm fine," I smiled at him. "Are you ok?"

"I...have no clue anymore." He tilted his head to look at me. I was beginning to love when he did that. "So you came out with the girls? Look at you making friends."

"They are a great bunch of girls."

"They are pains in the ass," Draco groaned.

"Ah but we love them like family," Blaise said handing me my drink. "I actually think their little game tonight was fun."

"What game?" Draco asked.

"With Trouble here. Dressing her up for you to admit you feelings."

I was waiting for the "shut up Blaise,' or "fuck off" possibly even a "Yeah right." But Draco said nothing.

"Your silence speaks volumes." Blaise laughed.

At that moment Pansy pulled me to the dancefloor again. Now she was the one grinding up against me. We danced, we drank and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Even Theo stopped sulking and joined in the banter.

Draco made sure I sat next to him, danced with him and no other guy got anywhere near me with him giving them the death glare. He always made sure he was touching me. Rubbing circles on my back, holding my waist as we danced or a casual arm draped over my shoulder.

I didn't mind at all obviously.

I did notice Harry and Ron watching me from afar. George had come over and joined our table hours ago and was currently flirting with Blaise.

How did no one know he was gay?

I was having a blast. Smiling seductively at Draco or catching his eyes as he stared at me. He was driving me crazy.

That was until we were sitting in the VIP section. Blaise and George had disappeared, Pansy too and another round had just been poured. Draco leaned in close to my ear whispering:
"I want to take you away from here. Too many men watching you. Let's go somewhere only I can watch you."

He looked hopefully at me and I nodded. He stood up and I followed and we slipped away while no one was looking. He held my hand as we made our way outside, giggling and smiling. He stopped and looked to me. He stepped closer and lifted his hand to my cheek. I closed my eyes.

"Drakie baby!"

"Fuck!" He snapped and his hand was gone.

I opened my eyes and sure enough, there was Astoria. She ran to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. She kissed him and looked to me.

"Oh it's you. Well look at you, all dressed up. I supposed Pansy did this. That has to be one of her dresses. No offense deary but you don't exactly pull it off." Draco almost growled.

Ouch!

"What are you doing our here with her baby?" Astoria snapped.

"Well...I...was..." he began.

"Just seeing me out. I was heading home and he was being a gentleman."

"Of course he was. Well I'm going to steal him. You head on home. I am sure this place was too good for you. You like the plain and simple life, right toots?"

"Yeah, that's me, plain and simple."

"I thought so. Come one Drakey!" She pulled him with her. He gave me a sorry look and followed her back inside.

Well I wasn't going to head back in now I had said I was going. I might as well go home.

No one will miss me.
