Loved By You. (A Severus Snape Love Story)

Chapter Fourteen: Mind Games

I lay on my back, wearing only my bra and my panties, breathing deeply as Tom hovered above me panting, with a hand on either side of my head to help his balance. His shirt had already been pulled off and was now currently lying in a heap on the floor, with both hands on his belt I paused for a second although I wasn't sure why. Slowly I started to undo the belt but I couldn't help the sinking feeling in my stomach before I had to stop again.
"What's wong." Tom asked looking down at me slightly worried and confused.
I paused for a minute not quite sure what to say.
"I'm sorry Tom, but I don't think I can do this." I sighed, removing my hands from the waistband of his
trousers.
"What are you talking about?" He asked as I pushed him off me moving towards my bundle of clothes.
"Listen you're a nice guy, you're sweet and I think I like you but I don't want to do this." I said. " I know I said I did and this was I wanted but I'm going to be honest now; I don't want to sleep with you, not like this anyway. I don't want to be what everyone thinks I am, but sometimes I feel I have no choice. I know now I do have a choice and I know what I want and this is not the way to get it. I'm sorry." I finshed, pulling on my jeans as the to of us sat on the edge of his bed.
"I understand... I think." Tom said, rubbing my shoulders from behind. "I know you're a nice girl underneath this whole façade, but just remember I'll always be here if you change you're mind." He offered.
"Thanks... I think." I laughed, pushing his hand off my shoulders and pulling on my top. "See ya." I called rushing out the door and hurrying back to Hogwarts. 

As I suspected Draco didn't dare ask any questions when I returned to him but he was particularly quiet. I suppose he sensed our date hadn't gone too well.
After that Draco stayed away for a few days but he had the worst timing possible because after the escapade with Snape I needed to do something drastic.
For the rest of the weekend Snape was no where to be seen about the school, I was almost certain he was avoiding me. But I knew he wouldn't be able to keep it up for long and he would have to face me first thing on Monday morning.

By the time Monday came Draco still hadn't really had a proper conversation with me but I was planning on fixing that, I had to or everything else I had planned would be screwed.

I sat alone in the great hall as usual, fiddling with my tie as I waited for Draco and his crew to join me. When eventually they did come, Draco put some distance between us and let Blaise take the seat next to me. After putting up with Blaise's crude comments for nearly 15 minutes I had had enough and forced the boy at the other side of Draco to move so I could finally talk to him.
"Draco." I said catching his attention but he still didn't look too happy. "Come on, you have to speak to me some time, what's wrong?" I asked agitated. There was no way he could have found out bout Tom but it still made me nervous.
"The date was disastrous, you were clearly bored out you're mind while I tried so hard to strike up a conversation, I'm just not so sure you like me is all."
"Oh come on, if I didn't like you you'd know, I'm just not really into all that lovey dovey stuff, I don't like dates, you know that's the first time I've actually been on one, so I'm sorry I was awkward."
" If you don't want to go out with me Aria, you might as well say." He sighed.
"Stop it Draco, I'm not going to beg you. You know I want to go out with you but if you're going to be like this then I might as well forget about it."
"Ok, I'm sorry, you're just the first girl that's made me feel like this, I'm never usually this insecure."
"There's no reason to feel that way Draco, besides I prefer it when you're a little more cold hearted anyway." A smile crawled it's way onto Draco's lips and I couldn't help but laugh. My eyes drifted past him and up to the staff table, when they met Snape's he blanched and quickly averted his eyes but I could tell when I looked away he was still catching some small glances.
Draco was now hovering dangerously close to my face and grinning madly. Instantly I grabbed his face and forced my lips onto his. Within seconds he had slipped his tongue into my mouth and I was slowly moving onto his lap. Our heads moved in unison and just as things were heating up my grandfather stepped up to his podium and dismissed up from the hall.
