Rebellious Little Malfoy (complete)

52

Christmas Eve was as wonderful as ever, Remus and I spent it alone and away from his parents, it made me feel more than special, I loved every second.
He treated me like royalty and I didn't deserve him, I really didn't.

It was getting late, and we decided to head back inside. Remus insisted that I had a bath to warm up, then he said he would make me hot chocolate and we could talk or read or anything that I wanted.

With a large smile on my face, I got into the steamy bubble bath, thinking about Christmas and how lucky I felt with Remus around.

I warmed up after a while and decided I would get out, I got changed into some pyjamas, before going to find Remus.

He wasn't hard to find, as he was sitting on my bed, waiting for me to return, I noticed that he was reading a book about who knows what, and hadnt noticed that I had entered the room.

I quickly jumped onto the bed, landing in front of him with a bounce, he gasped in horror before mock glaring at me, but I pouted and he instantly caved in and smiled at me.
"Did you have a nice bath darling?" he asked and I smiled at the now familiar nickname.

"I sure did." I laid my head on his lap, looking up at him, studying his face carefully, there was scars from over the years evident on his cheeks, but I loved him no matter what he looked like, he was wonderful and I didn't care about the scars.

He had placed the book down and was gently stroking my hair.

"Remus?" I began, and he tilted his head slightly, so I continued, "I love you." I mumbled, and for a moment I didn't think he heard, because he stared at me with no expression, but before I could ask if he was ok, his lips were firmly placed on mine.
I leant up into the kiss, hoping it never ended, I was so madly in love, and it made me so very happy.

When Remus finally pulled away, I was gasping for breath, so was he, but that didn't stop him from saying, "I love you too Bells." And with a blush on my cheeks, I simply stared at the wonderful person who I loved with everything I had, I felt alive.

We were interupted from our moment as Hope called us for dinner. Remus helped me sit up before whispering in fear, "My father is home, I hope that you don't mind." And I gently placed my small hand on his much larger face.

"Your father can hate me all he wants Remus, but I will always love you, and his hatred is worth every second of your love." I said with a soft smile.

And once again, I felt Remus' soft lips on mine.
