"And here's the pool." He finished. I rolled my eyes playfully. "Whats wrong now, y/n?" He sarcastically asked. I gave him no response. He grabbed my waist as we stood by the pool edge. Chills ran down my back as he brushed his fingers along my skin.

My heart raced a million miles per hour at the current intimacy. I knew he could sense the beating from beyond my chest, he knew exactly what he was doing. 

Draco raised his hands up to my cheeks in which were blushing all shades of crimson. 

"Perhaps you didn't hear me, i asked what was wrong." He spoke. I smiled, staring deep into his pearl-like eyes as he examined every feature on my face, while his hands did the same to my body. I moved my hands up to his and put them by his side. 

"Nothing..." I shrug.

"Your face says different." He whispered dangerously close to my ear. 

Before he could rise from my ear (as he towers over me), i placed my hands over his toned chest and with all my force pushed him into the pool. As he fell, he grabbed my arm, pulling me in with him. I let out a small scream of excitement and shock. 

A massive splash echoed through the large room. As we sank into the water, the silence calmed me. We made our way back to the surface, both Draco and I laughing as we caught our breathe.

His hair was all over the place until he brushed it back, like it was in first year. I laughed as i tread water, watching him stand easily but with a hilarious hairstyle. 

"Bitch." He joked.

"Prick." I bantered. 

Within a blink of an eye, his lips fell into the into his. I wrapped my legs around his waist. He rested his hands around my thighs as my skirt floated in the water. His tongue traced the inside of my mouth, hungrily. 

He had only ever kissed me like this once before, he kissed me passionately. He kissed me like he loved me.

We stopped to catch our breathes. He laid his forehead onto mine as we emitted hot, steamy exhales. 

"You drive me crazy, y/n." He managed to get out through broken breathes. I smiled like an idiot as he spoke. "And why is that?" I tease. He sent me a devilish smirk. 

"Because i think i lov-"

"Dinners in 10!" An ecstatic Narcissa Malfoy interrupted. 

"Oh my-" She covered her eyes in embarrassment. "So so sorry." She continued, "but dinner is practically ready. Ill see you two at the table." 

The woman walked off quickly with a secret smile pulling at her cheeks. I laughed quietly, Draco joined in slightly giggling to himself. 

"I suppose you'll have to wait to tell me." I said as i made my way from the pool. He sighed to himself, getting out from the pool, dripping wet.

My eyes stayed glued to his shirt as it hugged his fit tightly. "You'll have to strip off, my mother isn't a fan of wet floors." 

The blonde ordered, ruffling his hair with a towel. My eyes widened. 

"I'm kidding." He laughed. A sigh left my throat as i covered myself in the warm cotton. He wrapped his arm around me as we walked back to get changed...

...As i descended down the stairs, i felt like a princess in the richest family of the world. 

The dress Draco had picked out was tight fitted with a slit sitting on my right leg. The top was quite loose but i wore a black cropped cardigan which covered my chest as i wasn't just eating with Draco. 

Malfoy wore an all black suit with a green tie and handkerchief in his left pocket. His hair was curtained and his cheeks were a light pink.

As we entered the room Narcissa sat at the head, a smile going from ear to ear as we entered. 

She was wearing a black dress with small flowered patterns running along her torso. "Please have a seat." She offered. We sat either side of her, Draco seemed quite uneasy about the seating arrangement but he'd have to wait. 

"How is everything Narcissa?" I ask as we ate.

She seemed to lighten up at my question, "Quite exhilarating now that you're here." She replied, i blushed. 

"Draco speaks of you a lot in his letters." She carried on. My mind paused for a brief second. He writes about me in his letters? I look up at Draco who is eyeing his mother intensely, I let out a small chuckle. 

"All good things, i hope." I add.

"Oh of course, never a bad word. In the most recent letter he went on and on about yo-" She began.

"Mother-" Draco cut off. His face was flushed, except for his cheeks which were a bright red. 

Narcissa smiled softly, i could feel my cheeks heating up as he looked quite uncomfortable at the sudden talk of his letters about me. 

"I'm in trouble." The lady laughed. I chuckled along with her, Draco let out a small smile. Narcissa and i spoke like best friends. She was an interesting woman. 

She was a very good listener and knew how to make her company comfortable. She had been more of a mother in one day than my actual mother in 17 years.

Draco's POV

Seeing the way y/n laughed with my mother made me love her more than i had ever known i could. 

My mother sent me slight side smiles occasionally. The blonde brunette i call my mother seemed to like y/n, which made me fall even harder for the h/c(ed) girl. Without hesitation, y/n insisted to take the plates in so she cleared the table with a large smile. 

I watched her walk so calmly and elegantly, it made me crave her.

"I really like y/n." A voice spoke from alongside me. I turned to find my mother smiling at the door, y/n had just exited. 

The woman turned to me, "Shes smart, pretty, funny. Your one lucky young man, Draco" She paused for a second, "When you said she was perfect, i didn't think you meant it." I beamed at the appreciation of the girl i learned to love unexpectedly.

"She's heaven sent, mother." I whispered, unaware of the presence of the girl listening from the doorway. Y/n walked back to her seat. 

"Don't bother sitting, love. Get out of here, the both of you need to go and have some fun." my mother happily demanded. I arose from my seat, kissed my mother on the forehead and ran off to wherever as long as it was with y/n.
