Lie To Me

Part 10

Draco Malfoy
I felt bad.
For once in my life I felt bad about how many times I had hurt her and made her walk away.
I forgot about the task and thought to myself that I wanted to be genuine with her.
I truly wanted to get to know her.
Forget the task.

"Do we have a deal?" I asked and she nodded and pulled her cardigan around her as she joined me on her bed.
"Ok." She sighed.
"First I want to say im sorry."
"Thank you."
I grabbed the bottles of whiskey from the floor and sat opposite her. I couldn't tell whether she was annoyed or upset. I assumed it was a mixture of both and I realised it was my fault. I was an asshole to her which was the exact opposite of what I needed to be doing.
"Why are you such an asshole?" King asked and I smirked at the fact that that was her first question. Yet it was completely understandable.
"Because I'm not weak. Being an asshole to people remind people that I'm not someone you mess with." I said and she drank from the bottle.
"Is it not because you're just insecure?"
"I'm not insecure. Not by any means." I smirked and she drank again. "So, whats up with your temper?" I asked.
"I have a very bad temper. It's got me kicked out of two schools. Which is why I walk away from you when you're horrible to me, for your safety and mine." She explained and something in me felt sorry for her.
"What happened at your other schools?" I asked and took two drinks from my bottle.
"At my first school, there was a girl called Marisa. She was the ultimate bitch. One day she came up to me at dinner and obviously had a vendetta. She called me every name under the sun, pulled my hair and poured water on my head. I got mad. Really mad. I used furnunculus on her and she was in the hospital for more than a week." She explained and I rolled my eyes.
"It was justified."
"In my second school, there was this teacher that obviously had something against me. She bullied me. Every lesson she would put me down and humiliate me. One day I'd had enough. I set her classroom and office on fire. Again, she had to go to the hospital." She said and I saw a tear fall from her eye.
"Hey, they deserved what they got. Besides having that mean girl inside of you is a good thing. People can't hurt you."
"You think I don't get hurt? You don't know how hard it was having to move three times. You don't know how bad I feel for what I did. You don't understand how hard it was. Because my record follows me. I regret what I did entirely. I'm not like you Malfoy. I don't like hurting people." She said and I sighed.

I didn't realise how hard it was for her.
I regretted ever making her feel like she couldn't hold in her temper.
I now realised how much she was holding on her shoulders and on her conscience.
I reached out and took her hand in mine, she needed comfort and I genuinely wanted to give that to her.
"Its ok. I'm sorry for ever making you feel like that. But I bet you're scary when it comes out." I said and she giggled a little, making something in cold my heart flutter.
"I am. So don't piss me off" she laughed and I nodded.

After hours went by of learning about each other, laughing, crying and a lot of drinking. By the time we finished the bottles both of us were drunk but I think we both had some sense left.
"You know something Mr Malfoy." She laughed as she leaned her head on my shoulder.
"What?"
"If you weren't such an arrogant asshole, I could find you attractive." She laughed. "But I don't find you attractive because you are a nasty nasty boy"
She laughed and took her head off of my shoulder to look at me.
"I think the exact same thing about you King. If you weren't such an annoying, mental little-"
"Oh shut up." She grinned.

As soon as the words left her mouth her hand cupped my face and she pressed her lips to mine.
I was too shocked to react. Her lips were only on mine a few seconds but I think those few seconds were enough to sober us both up.
She pulled away, her mouth slightly hung open and her eyes wide.
"Erm. I should go." I said and cleared my throat before leaving the room quicker then I probably should have.

As soon as I got into my room I sat down on my bed and gripped the sides of the mattress. I couldn't believe what she did. She had kissed me. A King had kissed a Malfoy. It was enough to make a chill go up my spine.
But as I sat there, I couldn't help but bring my fingers to my lip, my mind wandering to how soft her lips were, and how in those two seconds I felt more than I had ever felt before.
