Close To Me [Draco Malfoy]

8

That morning at breakfast, Kimberly couldn't get the smile off her face. Her parents eyed her with a strange look.

"You have been hanging around with Draco a lot recently. Are you two getting along well?" Mary asked siping her tea as a smirk emerged on her lips.

"He is my fiancé," Kimberly stated with a dumb look as she nibbles on a biscuit.

Leonardo scoffed. "I'm not stupid. I saw you two sneaking off to balls and dinner dates."

"Dinner dates? Oh father you make me laugh," Kimberly stated laughing as she held her stomach. She over did it as she fell off her chair and rolled on the floor laughing.

"A lady doesn't roll on the ground. That is inappropriate," Mary scolded her daughter.

Kimberly quickly stopped laughing and stood off the ground. She dusted her dress off and sat back down at the table. She apologized and continued to eat.

"What colours did you chose again for the wedding, dear?" Mary asked politely as she cut her pear into slices.

"Dark green, of course!" Leonardo stated as he cut his daughter off from speaking.

She looked down. "Yes, father."

Mary cleared her throat. "We have a wonderful wedding gift being built at the end of the road," Mary stated. Kimberly right away knew it was a mansion being built for Draco and her to live in.

The end of the road was far from the Raven manor though. She was glad.

"Where have you decided to go for your honeymoon?" Leonardo asked biting into a red apple.

"Somewhere near the ocean, where there is sand. A beach house honeymoon," she told her parents as they agreed on how wonderful that'd be. "I'm going to go to the garden," she excused herself and stood from her chair.

She left the dining room area and headed to the back of the mansion where a screen door was. It was falling off the hinges from being opened so often by Kimberly. She sneaked past the fallen door and skipped into the garden.

She ran her fingers along the pedals of the flowers and sniffed a few here and there. Deeper she went into the garden. She twirled. Her dress gracefully following her movement as she spun around.

Her foot, catching a lose brick on the ground, sent her tumbling to the ground. She shut her eyes, ready for impact as a squeak left her lips but she hit nothing. Arms were wrapped around her waist as her back laid hard against a broad chest.

"Be more careful," Draco said sternly as he pushed her up and made sure she was on her feet before letting go.

"Draco!" Kimberly scolded. "What are you doing here?"

"I thought I'd climb up to your window this fine morning but it seems I stumbled upon you twirling in the garden," Draco told her with a raised eyebrow.

"You seem, correct," she said quietly.

"May we walk?" Draco asked as he stuck his hand out.

"We shall," she said politely as she placed her hand in his. They walked through the garden. Kimberly stopped and laid herself down in the bay for wild flowers which were a foot or two high.

Draco laid down next to her. Her hand found his and they laid their silently. Kimberly counted the clouds as Draco counted how many times his thumb ran over her smooth hand.

He thought it over in his head before saying, "I love you."

Kimberly stayed silent. He loved her. He meant it. They barley knew each other yet he has fallen in love with her. She too realized she felt the same.

"I-."

She was cut off by an owl flying over them, dropping a light package on her chest. She sat up surprised.

Draco stood up. Kimberly watched as he fumbled to find the words before he left.

"Draco? Draco, wait!" she cried out but he was already gone. He must have ran.

Kimberly shook her head and eyed the package. She decided she'd open it later with her parents at dinner as she laid on the flowers again. The package laid next to her as she sighed heavily.
