Nora's POV

"Do you really have to go?" Draco asked as I stuffed a hoodie into the bag I would be taking to my house. "I won't be going for the winter holidays, so my parents want me there for the week. I'll be back after my sister's birthday"

"When is her birthday again??"

"December one," I replied and looked into the wardrobe. Arms snuck their way around my waist, as Draco hugged me from behind. He placed a kiss in the crook of my neck and mumbled, "I'm gonna miss you"

"It's just a week, not even a week, five days" I turned around to look at him. "I would miss you as well," I said as I wrapped my arms around him.

"But I think I wouldn't be able to talk to you much on the phone, my cousins are gonna be there. I'm meeting them after a long time" I blurted, realization undertone.

"You've gotta be kidding me" He looked at me, disbelief painted across his face. "I'll try. Don't throw a tantrum and waste the time while I'm here"

I smiled at his grumpy face and slightly stood on my tippy toes to kiss him.

When I was about to pull away, he held me close by my neck, not allowing me to pull away.

"I love you" he whispered once he pulled away. "I love you too" I pecked his lips one last time before getting back to packing.

After a few minutes, I was done with the packing.

Exams ended yesterday and my Mum wanted me to come home since my cousins were coming from the US. I hadn't seen them for a long time, I was excited.

But I wasn't excited to see my sister. I had been worrying about my parents sensing the tension between me and my sister. They would want to know what we were fighting about.

I became anxious at the mere thought of my parents finding out about my relationship. It would probably come to light by accident, I wouldn't have the courage to tell them it myself.

I swallowed hard to clear the lump forming in my throat. "What's up?" The blond asked, handing me a coffee cup. "Nothing. I'm just worried about my parents finding out about us" I took a sip of the drink, the warm liquid calming some of my nerves down.

He wrapped his hand around mine saying, "Don't worry. There isn't anyone there except you and your sister who could tell your parents about us. You won't tell and I'm sure your sister wouldn't either"

I nodded and took another sip of the drink.

It's gonna be a long five days, I thought sighing.

"Mum!" I yelled walking into the house. "Kitchen" my Mum replied. I walked to the kitchen to see my Mum cooking and my sister, Caleb and Noah sitting in the dining table.

"Hey, you guys" I greeted and sat next to Noah. "Hey, hi"

"Nora, go keep your bag in your room and come"

"Mom, It has been ages since I saw them, lemme catch up with them" I complained. "You can catch up after you fresh up. You traveled for 6 hours, go take a shower first!"

I rolled my eyes and got up from the chair, picking my bag up. "Is Alyssa here?" I asked on my way out of the kitchen. "No, she had some exams to attend." Noah said. "But her snaps are saying otherwise" he shrugged.

I chuckled and climbed up the stairs. I pulled my phone out and texted Draco.
