our broken love story

As we were dancing I felt his eyes crawling all over my body. Like ants running from water Almost. It was a good but a nerve wrecking feeling. I felt butterflies as we met eyes and I smiled ugh. I'm smiling like a idiot.

"So.. Hows life been I guess?" I ask him curiously and he replies "could be better. Everyone thinks I've been sneaking out after curfew. Which I have obviously but-" before he could finish I start laughing "sorry sorry keep talking" oh my God I'm like a fool for him ughhhh. "Right uhm and I could get detention. Which is very annoying like bloody hell what do they want from me??" As he is talking I'm just starring Into his warm brown eyes. They are almost enchanting like. Daring you to get closer to risk it. I caught myself starring at his lips before looking away and he saw that "starring aren't we?" Oh my gosh he saw that "whaaaattt pffff no?" My voice became squeaky and it was obvious I was lying "Mhm sure" he says with a amused tone as he slightly smirks. God he looks adorable.

We kept Dancing for a little longer before the music ended and we parted ways. As I walked to the defense against the dark arts tower I couldn't help but have butterflies. Was I falling for him again? If so this isn't good. I would much rather if we had never talked at all then have had my heart broken.

As im starring at the stars from the tower I feel someone's presence. It's calming yet alerting. I feel protection though. Ive never felt something like this before. Ever..

"Starring at the stars I see?" His voice was deep like warm caramel of course. It was mattheo. It had to be.. I stayed quiet for a few more seconds before saying "yes. They are beautiful tonight." As I said that I felt him move next to me leaning against the railing and I looked at him. He had messy hair very much different from when we danced and... Blood?! His nose was bloody and smeared?? "My God mattheo what the bloody hell happened?!" I say as I move closer to get a better look "Malfoy was being annoying." He said slightly smirking "so you fought him?! God your a idiot."
He acts offended and I just smile slightly
"Hey..! Words hurt yknow." He says still acting as if I hurt him
"well it's the truth am I wrong?" I say grabbing a napkin from my purse to wipe the blood "yes but-" I cut him off "no buts."
And he just rolls his eyes. As I grab the napkin I slowly bring it up to his nose carefully wiping the blood away careful to not cause any horrible pain and I grab his chin and make him look down at me still wiping the blood. I couldn't help but notice his continuous smirk that was growing bigger and bigger by the second. "You look beautiful right now." He says still smirking and I roll my eyes. "Ive always been like this. You've just been too blind to see" I say turning my head up to look at him a amused look drawn onto my face
"Oh really?" He says slowly leaning closer
"Yes really" I say not noticing him closing in on me as I felt his breath on my neck I got butterflies again which I wish would go away but they wouldn't. As me and him met eyes he leaned in more and our lips touched. His lips felt like satin. So soft yet so dangerous somehow. And his presence. It was protective and dangerous and calming apparently.
Mattheo tries to deepen the kiss but I pull away. "Mattheo. We shouldn't." And I couldn't help but see a look of disappointment drawn onto his face I felt guilty but it was right of me to do. If this continued it could lead us both to detention or even worse. Expelled.
"I'm sorry mattheo I really a-" he cut me off.
"It's fine. I don-"
