-Hermione Granger-

"Draco! Draco!" I shout, skipping into his office where he's sitting. I slam my hand over my mouth when I see him sitting at his desk with his phone up to his ear. Draco looks up from his paper work, a stern expression is placed on his features.

His eyes are darkened with circles under them, making them even darker. His jaw is clenched and he looks ready to kill.

"Sorry" I whisper and he nods before hanging his head down towards the paper work again.

"Yes. I understandthat-no-no today won't work-well reschedule it!" Draco shouts the last part, his voice trembling, making me flinch. He's never yelled at me like that, it's like his voice belongs to a completely different persons. "Don't forget I still am your boss. Do what I say or you're done kid!"

Draco ends the call and throws his phone to the ground. A loud sound echoes around the room, hurting my ears and head. I yelp in surprise as his phone lands a foot away from me and slides on the hardwood floor only to stop when it hits my feet.

Draco's hands grip his platinum blond hair as his arms rest on the desk. His shoulders are tense and his jaw is clenched.

"A-are yo-"

"No!" Draco growls harshly. He shoots a glare up towards me, a snarl upon his striking features. "What do you want!"

"N-never mind..." I murmur. "It's not important I guess."

Draco sighs deeply before standing up. He starts off towards me but I shrink away from him, my head tucking down and my shoulders going up to my ears.

Draco stops when he notices me flinch away from him.

"Hermione." Draco's voice softens as he says my name but there is still kind of an edgy, sharp tone to it. "If we're going to get married you can't be afraid of me."

I gulp and look up at him. Pain is written across his face as I look at home. "I'm not..I'm not afraid." I tell him, my voice wavering.

"Don't lie to me." Draco says shortly. "I'm not blind. Your scared of me, Hermione." A painful look fights it's way through his tough guy facade.

"I'm sorry..." I drop my shoulders and look at my feet.

"Don't be sorry." Draco, obviously still mad and upset says.

"What... um what was the phone call about?"

"Doesn't matter. What did you want to tell me that supposedly doesn't matter anymore." Draco reaches forward and grabs my hands, pulling me towards him.

I stumble on my feet slightly but catch myself before I trip.

"Well. You know that place next to Bubbas cafe?" I ask Draco and he nods.

"Yeah the therapy place?"

"Yeah well... they had a position open and I applied for it. I didn't think they were going to pick me since I haven't finished school yet...but."

"Wait?! They hired you?!" Draco's eyes light up and a grin breaks out on his face, covering his once angry expression.

I nod and the suddenly happy Draco picks me up at my thighs and spins me around. I hold onto his shoulders, laughing.

"This is a huge deal!" Draco says excitedly, setting me down on the floor. "Baby I'm so proud of you!"

I grin up at him, not sure what exactly to say. "Yeah I start on Monday" I tell him, Draco's eyes are sparkling and lightening up.

"I'm so happy for you!!" Draco grabs my face and kisses me passionately. I giggle into the kiss and wrap my arms around his torso.

I swear Draco's bipolar.

Draco pushes me back against the dark red wall, placing his knee between my legs and his arms on either side of me. I grab the waist band of his black dress trousers and pull him closer to me with a moan.

Draco places a hand gently on my waist and reluctantly brings himself away from me. "I have to work." He groans, putting space between us.

I frown and pull at his waist band again, making him chuckle.

"Babe. Common," Draco grabs my hands and pulls them off of his pants. "I have to work."

"Well after Sunday we won't get very much time together" I pout.

Draco's face falls before a smirk comes back into his face.

"Then you aren't about to get very much sleep."

I laugh and peck his lips before lightly pushing him back and walking past him. "I'm going to go get you a new phone since you smashed this one," I say, picking up his now shattered iPhone. "Try not to break that one"

-Monday-

"Don't leave me" Draco mumbles as I try to squirm out of his arms. "Don't leave me."

"I have to go to work." I laugh and kiss his cheek. "I can't be late on my first day."

"Yes you can. Jus-just tell that-them th-"

"You're tired" I giggle and brush his platinum blonde hair out of his face. "Go to sleep. Then get a hair cut later today. Not too short tho."

"Mmm" he mumbles and grabs at the over sized shirt that covers my body. "Stay in bed."

"Nope." I pop the 'p' and jump out of bed. I shiver as the cold grey stone hits my feet, instantly making me want to climb back in bed.

I go into the bathroom and shower before getting my hair ready, dressing in a white button up shirt with black dress pants and black heels. I put my hair into a bun and do a natural look for my makeup.

I obviously don't have any clients yet so I'm not exactly dressing my best but it is my first day so I don't want to look trashy.

"Bye Baby" I say, leaving our bedroom.

"Byeee" he slurs tiredly.
