Tryst -Tom Riddle

MACKENZIE

We soon reached the common room and I gave him his coat back, thanking him. It was 10:00 pm so I went upstairs reminding Aimee about the plans we made for tomorrow.

"Oh dear, I'm sorry. I have made plans with the trio. You wanna join us?" My heart sank. She really forgot? "No, it's alright." I said a bit disappointed. I laid on the bed. Should I stop hanging with Tom and his group? I can't lose Aimee, we've been friends for some time now and this is not how a friendship should end! I didn't realize when I fell asleep but when I woke up, it was 11:45. I decided to go down in the common room.

I sat down on the black leather couch in front of the fireplace.

"Macy? What are you doing up so late?" Abraxas asked me.
" I just couldn't sleep, that's all."
"You seem a bit upset, everything alright?" He asked a bit concerned.
"Yes, it's just Aimee and I had plans to go to Hogsmeade tomorrow but now she decided to hang out with some other girls." I stated, hint of disappointment and a little guilt carried my voice.

"Oh, well I'm free tomorrow, I can go with you. if that's alright with you?"
My lips curled up into a smile. If I'm losing a friend, I making a new one too. But that doesn't mean I want to end friendship with Aimee.
"That's so sweet of you Abraxas, I'd love to."
He chuckled at my sudden excitement and gently pinched my cheeks and said "You're cute."

"Mackenzie, if you don't mind, can I talk to you in private?" Tom asked me.
"Of course" I got up and went towards him. The boys were busy talking about something and didn't even pay attention to us. We walked upstairs into his dorm.

"Why didn't you tell me that Aimee cancelled the plan?" He asked me calmly flickering his wand between his fingers, his eyes fixed on his wand.
"I was about to tell you."
"So you'll be okay going with Abraxas?"
"Yes.."
"Why?"
"Because I didn't wanted to spend the day alone. He offered to go with me so I agreed."

"How about you spend the day with me instead?" His eyes fixed on his wand.
"I already said yes to him, you can join us."
"I asked you to spend time with me. But yet you ignore me and run to Malfoy."

"You were the one who ignored me, Tom. We barely talk. That's because half of the time, Merlin knows where you are and when you are actually there, you don't even open your mouth, like you can't speak. I need someone to talk to, Abraxas talks to me, spends time with me. He's not like you, first you ask me to join and then you just disappear!"
"So you're saying it's my fault?"
"Well yes! Who else is to blame?!"

He studied my face for few seconds before opening his mouth, "You know, Macy, raising your voice while talking to someone is very mannerless of you."
"What? You were being obnoxious earlier."
"Was I? Being tough doesn't suit someone like you."
"What do you mean by someone like me?"
"What I mean is someone so innocent, so pure, so...weak"
"I am not weak!"
"Oh, is it so?"
"Yes! You barely know me!"
"I know more than you think."
"What do you mean?"
"For starters, I know you like me . But that's not all I know.
My eyes widened and I immediately replied
"I don't like you! Who told you that? Also what else do you know?"
"That's a story for another day." He calmly replied.

I pushed him out of my way and walked towards the door and I tried to open it but it didn't. I realized he used the locking spell. I looked for my wand , where is my wand? Bloody hell! I left it in my dorm. How could I be so careless?! I was so lost in my thoughts, I didn't even notice that Tom came and stood behind me. He grabbed my shoulders, turned me around to face him.
"Where do you think you're going?" I shivered at his tone. I think he noticed that because I heard him chuckle.
"Back to my dorm."
"May I ask why?"
"Because this is not my room and I'm done talking with you."
"We are done when I say we are done so you won't be leaving until I say so."

"I am not your servant. Who do you think you are to tell me what I'm supposed to do and what not. And give me one good reason why I should listen to you!"

"Don't talk to me like that!"
He was looking at me like he is figuring out something.
He walked towards me and pulled me closer by my waist and other hand caressing my cheek. He leaned forward and gently roaming his lips against mine. I stood there in shock. I closed my eyes silently enjoying the touch of his soft lips over mine. I was waiting for him to kiss me but he never did.

I opened my eyes and he was just staring at my face deep in thought. I couldn't help but notice how perfect his facial features were. He is taller than most of the boys, pale skin, sharp jawline, jet black hair and greyish blue eyes. He could charm many people with his looks. My eyes were fixed on his face, dying to kiss those soft, perfect lips. I couldn't wait any longer and quickly wrapped my arms around his neck, pulled him closer and smashed my lips against his. It felt like heaven. I could feel him smirking against my lips. He left my lips and moved down to my neck. He kept kissing, sucking and biting my sweet spot and I unintentionally moaned. "See, I knew you liked me." He said in between the kisses.

Do I like him?
But then suddenly I remembered Abraxas saying that Tom hasn't and won't ever like anyone, he just can't do it. Of course he is just playing with me. He's just using me. What did I even expect? This is Tom Riddle we are talking about.

He suddenly pulled away from my neck, his eyes looked sad, his face showing a broken and disappointed expression .
"That is not true." He said and turned around, his back facing me.
I heard him whisper the unlocking spell and the door opened.
"Good night, Macy." He said still not looking at me.
"Good night Tom." I said in a low voice and left. Now I'm pretty sure he's reading my mind. How long has he been doing that?
