⌈CHAPTER 29 ⎮⎮ TENSE⌋

Draco Malfoy (POV)

I woke up sweaty and panting. I hated how that moment replayed in my head like it was never going anywhere. It was just a nightmare but yet I lived through with that. I checked the clock seeing it was 8am. I never woke up this early even for my classes.

Then I remembered last night.

I swear I hated myself for what I did to Esme. I thought I would get over it but I haven't after all it's what made me who I am. It haunted me seeing her on top of me.

It's the reason I like being dominant, I will never allow someone to dominate me again. Even if it's the slightest thing, it angers me when someone has the littlest control over me.

She didn't deserve that though, seeing her eyes pool up because of me always felt like a punch to the stomach, more than that. It always had an affect on me. Whenever it was her, I felt... bad. No one else.

I made my way to the shower and let the hot water hit my body. I had no clue what to say to Esme, I knew she will ask so I had to think of something. Once I was done I got out and put my clothes on as if I were ready for the day.

When I walked out of room, I looked at Esme's door. I slowly put the handle on hers and noticed it was locked.

I sighed and continued my way towards the kitchen where I found my mom already preparing breakfast.

"Good-morning dear!" She smiled, "How did you sleep?"

 "Fine." I lied.

"Esme must still be asleep," She said, "Sit Draco, I'll prepare your plate."

I went to go sit down, "You already ate?"

"Yes you know how early I get up." She served the plate of food for me and I slowly started eating it. I really didn't have the biggest appetite right now.

I was halfway through my meal when Esme came in. She seemed to have been wearing a sleep gown but had a robe over her. Her hair was up and her eyes looked slightly puffy but it wasn't so noticeable.

I couldn't take my eyes off her though.

Even though she didn't look at me once, she said good morning to my mother and then sat down in front of me.

"I hope you slept well for your first night," My mother served her a plate.

"Of course." I knew Esme's smile was fake.

It was quiet from there, neither her or I said anything.

"You both are awfully quiet." We both looked up at each other but Esme quickly put her head back down.

"Well maybe if you both had some privacy you'll start talking." She chuckled, Esme faked smiled to that remark.

"I'll be in the study room if either one of you need me." We both nodded as my mother walked out.

There was still nothing but the sounds of us eating. I knew I had to start something up, "Um... Esme."

I knew she heard me but she still didn't look up, "Last night... I'm sorry I had... just something in my head..."

She finally looked up at me but didn't say anything. I noticed she finished her plate and walked over to put it in the sink.

Wait no-

She's walking out.

She didn't even bother to talk to me.

I hated this but why...
