FORBIDDEN FEELINGS part 2

Chapter 1- The Summer

We arrive at the resort. Ron was right, this is bloody brilliant! The apartment is so gorgeous, and we have a room each. There's even a balcony with an amazing view. The pool is so beautiful and there's a clubhouse where you can hang out with your mates. It's honestly better than any Muggle resort I've ever been to. 

We spend the first few days relaxing and tanning. As it approaches the end of June, I spot a good looking guy by the pool. He has brown, curly hair, he's really tanned, and he has brown eyes. He is also really tall and pretty skinny but that's my type.

At the start of July, he comes over to me at the bar and says in an American accent "Hey. I'm Nick and I spotted you from over there. And I just wanted to tell you that you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen"

I blush and reply "Hi Nick. I'm Jessa and I feel the exact same way about you"

"Good start" he sits down "Mind if I buy you a drink?" he smiles. His teeth are literally perfect.

"Sure"

"Hey!" he says to the guy at the bar "Could you get us two Cokes, one with an umbrella in for this fine lady"

"Coming up!" the man at the bar says.

"How'd you know I like Coke?" I ask.

"Everyone likes Coke"

I laugh "I love your accent"

"I was about to say the same thing about you. What school you go to?"

"I go to Hogwarts"

"Oh nice. I go to Ilvermorny"

"Where's that?"

"North America. I imagine yours is in the UK"

"How'd you know?" I say sarcastically.

"Just a guess" he joins in on the joke.

Our Coke's arrive.

"Thank you, sir. Okay, before we carry on this amazing conversation, I'd just like to know your age"

"I'm 14. 15 in September. How old are you?"

"Oh good, I've just turned 15. So, how long are you here for?"

"Urm, I'm here for a month. What about you?"

"Until like mid-August. My family love this place. Are you here with your family?"

"Nah, I'm here with my mates, Harry, Ron and Hermione"

"You got a thing with any of the boys?"

I laugh "God no! People made up a rumour about me and Harry dating but that was far from happening"

"Oh dear. That doesn't sound too good"

Our conversation lasts until we finish our drinks.

"Anyway, I'd love to sit and chat to you all night, but I've got to go out for a meal with my family. I'll catch you later" he says with a wink.

For the next week, I've been meeting Nick everywhere I go. I haven't introduced him to Harry, Ron and Hermione yet but tonight there's a disco at the clubhouse, so I figure this is a great time for them to meet him.

We sit round a table and wait for our drinks. Nick walks in and 'Love is in the air' comes on. Oh God, this song reminds me of Malfoy. Nick makes his way over to me, reaches his hand out and says, "Care to dance, beautiful?"

I blush and say "I would love to"

We start dancing. "Is it okay if I place my hands on your waist?" he asks. I nod and smile. Why did he have to ask? I guess that's kind of sweet that he asked though. We start moving our feet and he spins me round. He's such a good dancer. I remember when I danced to this when Malfoy and I were close. Haha I guess that's never going to happen again. As I stare into Nick's eyes, I feel warm and safe. This is exactly how I used to feel about Malfoy. But for some reason something doesn't feel right. The song ends and people clap. He takes a bow and I curtsey.

We head back to our table. "Who's this?" Ron asks.

"This is Nick" I say.

"Hey everyone. Really nice to meet y'all. What are your names?" Nick asks, politely.

"I'm Hermione Granger. Pleasure to meet you" Hermione says, shaking Nick's hand.

"Hi, I'm Ron Weasley" Ron also shakes Nick's hand.

"I'm Harry Potter"

"THE Harry Potter? The boy who lived?" Nick questions in shock.

"They know me in the states?" Harry asks, confused.

"They know you worldwide, Harry! It's a great honour to meet you, sir"

They shake hands and Nick takes me to his favourite spot in the resort. It's a beautiful cliffside with fairy lights and an amazing view.

"This is amazing" I say, sitting down on the edge.

"Isn't it beautiful" he says, sitting next to me "But not as beautiful as you"

Wow. This is different from when Malfoy took me to a view. Nick places his hand on mine and says "I know we haven't spent a lot of time together, but I really feel a connection. Like I've never felt this way about anyone"

A smile forms on my face. Wow. Nick is just so sweet. But... I kind of miss Malfoy. What do I do? I can't tell this guy that I don't feel the same way. But wait. Malfoy doesn't like me anymore, he made that very clear at the summer ball. Maybe I should just kiss Nick and hopefully I'll forget all about Malfoy.

"Kiss me" I say. Nick looks at me in shock. I smile and he grabs my jaw, pulling me in for a kiss.

This kiss is great. Like brilliant. But I just don't get the same butterflies that I get when I'm with Malfoy. For God's sake. I hate myself.
