Miss Americana

Chapter 7

What the fuck Malfoy?! Way to be a cockblock." Blaise shouts back, standing up and making his way over to Draco. Jewels runs over to me, I pick her up and hold her close. "Why do you care if I kiss Kaylee?" Blaise asks, his hands in fists at his side. "It doesn't matter, just stay away from her." Draco says, moving closer to Blaise. "Whatever." Blaise says, turning and storming up stairs to his dorm. "Why were you kissing him?" Draco asks, walking over to me and sitting on the couch beside me. "He was the one that kissed me. Besides why do you care? We were 'nothing'." I say using my fingers as quotations. "Dammit Kaylee! We aren't nothing!" Draco shouts, making me sink back into the couch. "The person you saw in the Astronomy Tower was the real me, I promise." He says, reaching over to bring my head up to look at him. "Kaylee, look me in the eyes." He says pleading with me, but I avoid his eyes. "Please." He says quietly, I move my gaze and look him in his eyes. "I promise." He says, reaching over and grabbing my hand. "Yo-you bring out the best in me. When I'm around you, I want to be a better person. I've never had this happen before and it scares me. It's like I'm enchanted by you." He says, staring into my eyes as a small smile creeps onto my face. "I know what you mean, I feel the same. When I met you it was like I fell under a spell almost right away. Despite what my parents and friends have said it doesn't change how I feel about you. I can't help but feel drawn to you and everything about you." I tell him, still staring into his eyes, his eyebrows raise at what I'm saying. "I'm never going to be good enough for you, but I want to try. Just please be patient with me. I've never had something like this so it won't be easy for me tell the whole world about it right now. Please just remember that who I am when it's you and I is the real me." He says, bringing his hand up to my cheek and rubbing his thumb across my skin. "I want to show you how good someone can be to you. When I love, I love with everything I have. You deserve that Draco." I say, looking over at him. He leans closer to me and kisses me, his soft warm lips pressed to mine. Without looking, I reach down and set Jewels on the floor by the couch. My hands move to him, one in his hair and the other around the back of his neck pulling him closer to me. I keep pulling him closer, our lips still moving and exploring the others as I lay back on the couch, he follows laying on top of me. Our kisses become longer and more passionate as he slips his tongue into my mouth wrestling it with mine. I plant kisses on his cheek, across his jawline, and down his neck as he breathes heavy in my ear. He pulls my chin back up, pressing his lips to mind again. We break away from the kiss and Draco sits up on the couch leaving me laying there breathless. "Draco I-" I begin to say as I sit up. "You feel it too?" He asks, blushing. "Yeah I do." I say smiling, feeling like a little school girl with butterflies in my stomach. I hear Jewels scratch at the bottom of the couch, I lean over and pick her up. "This is your Niffler you told me about?" Draco asks, smiling over at me. "Yeah this is Jewels." I say looking down at her. He moves his hand closer to her, she sniffs him and friendly nudges his hand with her head. "Wow she's never done that before. Even Blaise had to bribe her with something shiny." I say laughing a little, a bit shocked how well she was acting towards Draco. "We should probably get some sleep." Draco says, reaching over and tucking some hair behind my ear. He leans in and kisses my cheek. "Goodnight Kaylee." He says, standing up from the couch. "Goodnight Draco." I say, smiling up at him. I hold Jewels by her feet to shake out any objects she stored away while exploring the common room. She has quite the assortment of items, I laugh and shake my head looking at her stash. I leave her new toys in a pile on a side table on the way up to my dorm. I put Jewels in her cage, get changed, and climb into bed. I pull Draco's blanket up, holding onto it close as I slowly drift to sleep.

I wake up the next morning feeling great. I can't believe what happened last night. I hop off my bed, put a pair of black leggings on, a green sweater, and black flats. I head down to the common room and see Blaise sitting on the couch. I try to quietly leave without him seeing me, but that fails. "Hey Kaylee! Wait up." He says loudly, jogging over to me as I make my way to the door. "I'm sorry about last night. Can we hang out again later after the game?" He asks, grinning at me. "Umm I'm not sure. I'm spending time with uh- Hermione. We're going to- going to study." I say scrambling to think of an excuse. "But it's Saturday." He says, with a confused look on his face. "Yeah I know." I say as I start walking towards the door some more. "Did I go to far last night?" He asks, hurrying in front of me, stopping me in my tracks. "Look Blaise, I don't want to hurt your feelings but I just don't see you in that way. I'm sorry." I say, looking down at the ground. "Oh- right. Okay, I'll see you around." He says, turning and walking back to the couch he had been sitting on. I leave the common room and hurry to the Great Hall. "Hey Kaylee, you coming to the game later?" I hear Harry say behind me. "Oh hey Harry, yeah I am. Good luck out there." I say, smiling over at him. We walk together to the Great Hall. "Are you going to come sit with us for breakfast?" He asks, looking over at me. I glance over at the Slytherin table and see Draco perk up as he sees me, his facial expression changes when he sees Harry next to me. "Umm I'm actually going to sit at my house table, but thanks." I say, looking back over at Harry. "Right, no problem." He says, giving me a side hug. "I'll see you later." He says as he turns towards his house table. "See ya Harry." I say, heading towards my table. I sit down across from Draco, he doesn't look very pleased. "What's the long face for?" I ask teasingly. "What were you doing with Potter?" He asks in an annoyed tone. "He's one of my friends. Come on, you know I'm friends with all them." I say, shaking my head and laughing a little. "Just wait until we beat their asses in Quidditch later." Draco says, smirking. "I know you don't need it, but good luck later Draco. I've heard all about how good of a seeker you are." I say, smiling at him from across the table. I put some food onto my plate and start eating. "I'm the best there is." Draco says proudly. I see someone sit down a little ways down the table, I turn and see Blaise making me quickly look away. "Just don't be going and getting yourself hurt." I say, joking but also a little worried. I know how brutal Quidditch can get. "Don't worry about me." He says, giving me a small smile. "I need to go get ready for the game, but I will see you after the match yeah?" He says, standing up from the table and giving me a wink. "Yeah you will definitely see me after." I say smiling and winking back. I watch as he leaves the Great Hall and disappears into the castle.
