Always

Chapter 18

Draco
I kissed her. I mustered up the courage and kissed her. I kissed the most intelligent, beautiful, funny, caring, amazing woman in the world. And she liked it.
Of course it wasn't at all how I had planned it. I planned on pulling her away from the party, my excuse for that was that I simply needed air, and walking over the bridge. I love That bridge. To other people it probably has no significant value, but for some reason I just love it. Anyways, I planned on staring into her beautiful brown eyes, pulling her closer, watching as the moon's pale light reaches her face, which I'm sure would have created an even more romantic moment, then I was going to capture her lips in a kiss. Nothing over the top, just simple sweet and romantic. Obviously, that's not what happened. But in its own special way, it was romantic too. With the slow song playing in the background, her standing there, already so close, her looking up at me with her large brown eyes, it was like she was begging me! I couldn't help myself, so I kissed her. Just a soft kiss, to see if she wanted me as I wanted her.
I couldn't tell at first, maybe because she was shocked, or maybe she just didn't want to hurt my feelings? Whatever the case, it took her a second to return my kiss. I couldn't help but feel discouraged. So I pulled her away from the dance floor and sat us down on one of the couches. After sitting in silence, I finally apologized for kissing her, she look at me as if I was retarded. Which made me feel even worse. But she took my hand and said she wasn't sorry for it, and that she actually enjoyed it. That sent me over the moon. I was so ecstatic! She laughed at my reaction and then started up a conversation, that's another thing I love about her, it's so easy to talk to her. That night, was the best night of my life, I could feel love, actual love from another woman who loved me, and that is something I haven't felt in a long time.
