The Rose and Dragon.

"What restaurant are we going to?" Elizabeth asked while looking at the window. Draco hasn't said anything yet about the restaurant they were going to and she was growing more curious by the minute.

"It's a surprise." Draco simply said.

Huffing she texted her friend Song.

E: Draco is taking me out tonight for my birthday but won't tell me where we are going.

S: It must be a surprise! Don't worry to much about it. Have fun and enjoy yourself. See you this summer!

Draco noticed Elizabeth growing antsy by the minute. Chuckling he grabbed her hand and gave it a kiss.

"Draco! Focus on driving," Elizabeth was trying to be serious but he caught her smile of satisfaction from his affection.

"I can't focus with you in that dress." Draco saw Elizabeth blush furiously which made him to laugh. He rarely laughed like that anymore and each time she heard it she would get chills.

"I have to make a stop at the hotel before we have dinner." Draco said and drove to the hotel. In 20 minutes time he pulled up to the parking space reserved for him by the front door. The doorsman nodded to them both and took watch over his car.

Placing his hand on the lower part of Elizabeth's back he guided her to the elevator and pressed the 5th floor button.

"What are we doing Draco? Why are we going to the banquet room?" Elizabeth was looking at Draco when the doors opened. Draco gave her a small smile and turned her to walk into the banquet room. Before opening the heavywood doors Draco said Happy Birthday and gave her a peck on the cheek.

"Thank you but what-"

Before Elizabeth could talk anymore Draco opened the doors.

"Happy Birthday Elizabeth!" A chorus of voices shouted to her.

Turning instantly to the room Elizabeth saw a crowd of people standing at tables all smiling at her. There were people she went to school with, her dad, Mr. and Mrs Sun with April, Mr. and Mrs. Chan, and some employees. She gawked at the room before her. There were crystal chandeliers, the tables were set with fine china, dozens of roses were in vases on the tables, a mini stage was set up and there was a DJ playing some hip hop music. The purple lights enhanced the beauty of the room.

Naturally Draco placed his hand on her back and guided her to their table where his parents and April and her dad were sitting along with an older man and a guy around their age. He didn't remember inviting them, who were they? Before they got the chance to sit down Elizabeth shrieked excitedly as she saw Song walking towards her.

"Oh my god! I thought you weren't coming until the summer?!" Elizabeth asked Song with a couple tears in her eyes. Song had been away at college in America for the past year.

"Draco sent me an invite and I couldn't miss your birthday." Song and Elizabeth hugged each other. "God I've missed you so much." Song wiped a couple tears away.

"I've missed you too. I'm stuck with Draco most days." Elizabeth said and tried to make it sound like that she didn't like being with him.

Song raised her eyebrow and gave Elizabeth an all knowing smile. Song knew that Elizabeth liked Draco, a lot.

Lightly touching her waist Draco said he'd be back and walked to their table. His touch and closeness did not go unnoticed by Song.

"Have you told him yet?"

"Not exactly in words but with other things?" Elizabeth said it more than a question. "I'll tell yo more about it later, I promise. Let's get something to eat!"

Since Elizabeth showed up numerous people have gone up to say their Happy Birthdays to her, they were eating, talking to one another, or dancing on the dance floor.

Meanwhile Draco was talking to Mr. Daniels and he had introduced Draco to the two men next to him.

"Draco I'd like you to meet Mr. Chambers and his son Luke Chambers." Mr. Daniels introduced the two men to Draco who shook their hands politely.
"Mr. Chambers here owns Chamber Yachts and several jewelry businesses throughout the world." Draco was rather impressed with Mr. Chambers, he couldn't say so for Luke Chambers though. He looked rather bored one minute than another he was smirking at the passing girls.

"Oh there is no need for such formal introductions Daniels. My son and I are here to relax and celebrate a birthday party. By the way where is the birthday girl?" Mr. Chambers said with an English accent.

"She should be around here somewhere," Mr. Daniels stood a little taller to search for his daughter. "Draco would you go and fetch her please. I would like her to meet the Chambers."

"Of course Mr. Daniels." Draco excused himself from the group and left to find Elizabeth. He didn't want to bring her back to those two men. Draco didn't get the best vibes from Luke Chambers.

Pulling out his phone he called one of his employees, more like his assistant, and told him to have the rapper come out now. Draco was delaying Elizabeth going to meet those men.

"Elizabeth!" Draco found her by the food bar with Song, Kai, and Jong. "I need to speak to you in private please." Without hearing her answer Draco pulled her behind a giant pillar towards the back of the room.

"What's wrong Draco?" Elizabeth asked flushed from having to keep up with him in her heels.

"Your father brought two men for you to meet, a father and son." What was Draco saying?

"And?" Elizabeth looked up at him curiously.

"Well.. I don't get the best feeling around the son." What the hell am I even saying? I sound so stupid right now. I don't get the best feeling around the son? She probably thinks I'm being silly right now.

Elizabeth chuckled. "Draco I think it will be fine." Elizabeth looked over to her dad and saw them two men next to him. Whoa, the son was kind of good looking. "Uh oh."

"What." Draco said sternly.

"The son is good looking!" Elizabeth teased him. She figured out that Draco was jealous. "Maybe I should go over there and introduce myself." Elizabeth started to walk away but Draco pulled her back and pushed her up against the pillar.

Putting his hands on either side of her head he leaned in and gave her a glare.

"Is someone jealous?"

"There is nothing to be jealous about."

Elizabeth laughed at his attempt to be calm but, it wasn't working. Draco desperately needed some sort of reassurance. "I think you are a. Listen Draco, sure he is good looking but he isn't really my type." Elizabeth straightened his tie and looked up at him hoping that would help.

"Well what is your type then?" Draco voiced got huskier when he leaned in.

"Dark hair," Elizabeth looked up at Draco's hair. "Dark eyes," then his eyes. "And a deep voice," and lastly his lips.

Draco watched her eyes flicker over him and noticed that she bit her plump bottom lip when she finished talking. Bringing one hand down he let it slither down her neck, her arm, and hip before resting it on her exposed lower back. Elizabeth held his tie and slowly pulled his face down to hers. Closing her eyes she risked the chance of kissing him. Their lips gracefully met. With almost familiarity the kiss deepened into hunger. Draco was having a hard time controlling himself when Elizabeth would whimper from his tongue gliding over her lips.

Pulling back Draco had to steady Elizabeth from not falling. After a few short moments Elizabeth finally spoke.

"That will forever be one of my most memorable kiss." Well that was my first actual kiss.

"Happy Birthday Rose." Draco was pulling her in for another kiss but was interrupted by a scream.

"DPR Live is here!"
