A second chance at Love. [L.B.]

- chapter 10 -

Even since that day, I've only grown closer to Enzo.. and his charms. But, I know I can't give in just yet. Whatever it was he did to those poor girls— it's never going to leave me.

"Amesford." I heard a deep voice as I turned around. "Uhm.. Nott?" I responded, trying to remember his name. "That's me." He said, I nodded. "What did you need?" I asked. "There's a party at the Slytherin common rooms. Now, we don't usually invite Gryfindork— Gryffindors." He coughed. I tried not to roll my eyes.

"Why the exception for me?" I asked, an eyebrow raised. "Always an exception for Enzo's girlfriend." He answered with a sly smirk. I could feel heat rush to my cheeks. "I am not his girlfriend." I said sternly. "Yet." He shrugged.

I remained silent, looking away. "So I take it you're coming?" He asked. "Only if I get to bring my friends." I said. He laughed. "You mean the mudblood and blood traitors?" He asked. "Fine, bring them. The more the merrier." He said before I could speak.

"Goodbye, Amesford." He hummed, walking away. I scoff silently.

💐

"It's just a party!" I groaned, trying to convince the four to come along. "A party hosted by your soon-to-be-boyfriend." Ron scoffs. "God, why does everyone assume that he's my boyfriend?!" I yell. Ron stays quiet, looking down.

"Please, you guys. Do this for me." I sigh, pouting my lips. Harry rolls his eyes and sighs. "Fine, okay." He says finally. I smile. "As long as he's not in a 10 meter distance." Ginny sighs. I nod my head.

Hermione, Ginny and I picked out dresses the whole evening. Decided how to wear our hair, what jewelry to wear.. blah blah.

Finally, Ginny decided on a short, full-sleeved white dress. Hermione wore a medium-length red dress and I decided on a pink one which reached right above my knees.

"Let's go, I think Harry and Ron are already there." Ginny said. We began walking towards the Slytherin dorms, hearing distant music already.

I quickly muttered the password which Enzo had given me a few days back. Upon entering, we were greeted with the nasty smell of alcohol and beer. I tried looking around for Enzo but I was quickly blocked by a familiar blonde.

"You made it!" Draco smiled, his eyes landing on Hermione. I'm sure he had to bite back his tongue from throwing slurs her way. "Great." I heard him mutter. "Potter and Weasley are there." He said, not even looking at them.

"And Enzo." He dragged teasingly. Hermione and Ginny quickly pulled eachother away from us and walked towards where Harry and Ron were sitting. "Follow me." He said. I sighed, walking behind him.

"Look who I brought, Enzo." He said, throwing an arm around my shoulders as my eyes landed on Enzo, busy in conversation with Parkinson before he heard Draco's voice.

His eyes landed on me as he quickly got up. Parkinson had a scowl on her face. I chose to ignore her. "Cici, I didn't know you were coming?" He said, staring at Nott behind him who smirked.

Draco practically pushed me onto Enzo before speaking. "Alright, we're all playing spin the bottle." The Slytherins in the room whooed. Enzo gave me a slight smile before sitting across me.

I sat beside Parkinson, a brunette haired girl on my other side. Zabini got out a glass bottle, placing it on the floor. "To make it more interesting.. whoever the bottle lands on have to play seven minutes in heaven." The brunette smirked. Zabini chuckled.

She spun the bottle as it landed on Zabini. Expected. The room was silent as the two went in the closet. The only sounds were the light snickers of Theo and Enzo and muffled moans.

I did not belong here.

Once the seven minutes were up, Zabini and The brunette girl took back their seats. I could see the smudge on her lips and the red lipstick stains on Zabini's shirt.

"Amesford. Your turn." Nott said. I swallowed hard, feeling Enzo's stare on me as I spun the bottle.  The bottle slowly came to a halt, landing on the person in front of me. Enzo.

Nott, Draco and Zabini wolf-whistled as Enzo rolled his eyes at them. He quickly got up, walking towards the closet before waiting for me to follow. Was he actually going to do this?!

I quickly followed behind him as he shut the door and the cheers muffled.

Enzo sighed, leaning against the wall behind him. "I'm sorry, about all of this." He said. "I know you don't like parties like these— I don't know why Nott invited you." He said. "It's fine. I think." I sighed.

We were silent for another minute. I took in his scent. God, I really wanted to kiss him.

He took a step closer, closing the distance between us.

Five minutes left.

My breath hitched in my throats as his hands found its way to my hips. I leaned in closer, our lips brushing against eachother. His head dropped down. A shiver ran down my spine as I felt his hot breath on my neck.

Four minutes left.

I pulled myself closer towards him, placing my hands on the sides of his neck as he began leaving a trail of kisses down mine. I threw my head back in pleasure as he began sucking on my skin.

Three minutes left.

Finally, his lips intertwined with mine. Our tongues fought for dominance. The grip on hips tightened as I held onto the buttons on his shirt, slowly unbuttoning them as he continued to kiss me.

Two minutes left.

My cold fingers came in contact with his bare abs. He took a sharp breath, pulling away from the kiss, leaving behind a string of saliva. "Fucking hell, Cici." He chuckled, practically groaning at my touch.

One minute left.

His hands left my hips as he began unbuckling his belt. I blushed hard before trying to unzip my dress.

Just as I'd gotten half naked, the closet door opened. I think I might've screamed if Enzo didn't shut it as soon as it creaked. "Your seven minutes are up, Berkshire!" I heard Draco yell, followed by laughs. "Asshole." Enzo muttered, pulling his pants on.

I giggled, zipping my dress. "My dorm tonight?" He asked. I smiled. "I'll see you." I said as he smiled back. We quickly walked out as he ran a hand down his hair.

His friends grinned at him as I resisted the urge to laugh.
