What I find is pleasing and i'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing, there's no peace of mind

Estelle Cirillo

"Stella" The voice said from outside the door, waking me up from my sleep.

"Stella!" It said louder but I just nuzzled my head into my pillow, going back to sleep.

"Oh Merlin, Wake up!" Suddenly, someone shook my body and my eyes shot open, revealing Draco in a white polo and black pants and as usual, his belt with the snake emblem was around his waist.

"What the bloody hell are you doing here? It's already summer yet I still can't get rid of you!" I said then groaned into a pillow as Draco laughed then I groaned in pain when he jumped onto the bed, his body landing on mine.

"Get off you big oaf" I scoffed, pushing him away. It was a few weeks after school ended and all I did was eat, sleep, sing and read.

"Get dressed, your mother wants you down for breakfast although, I do say you look fine just like that" He smirked and knowing that I just had a tank top and pajama shorts on, I smacked his chest. I got up and groggily walked to my wardrobe, still wanting to sleep in the comforts of my bed. I didn't really have the energy to put on a whole outfit so I just grabbed one of Elijah's hoodies that I stole and put it on.

"Oh I got you a present as well" Draco said as I pulled the hoodie down my body, "Present? It's not my birthday?"

"Yeah, I know. It was supposed to be your gift during Christmas but it wasn't ready yet" He replied and I turned around, walking back to my bed and laying down on the space beside Draco. He pulled out a black velvet box from the pocket of his hoodie then gave it to me with a smile.

"I always knew you were obsessed with me Malfoy but I didn't know you were going to propose" I joked and he just chuckled, "No! Well, at least not yet" He said I wore a confused look on my face but grabbed the box from his hand. I opened it and gasped, it was a gold necklace that had two charms in the middle, one was a gold letter S and one was a gold star with diamonds in it that shined in the sunlight.

"Thank you!" I squealed then I sat up and hugged Draco as he said a quick your welcome.

"Do you remember the Christmas party?" He chuckled and I nodded my head as I took out the necklace, "Yep, i'm your star" I smiled, nudging his shoulder. He smiled at me then held out his hand, signaling for me to give him the necklace so he could put it around my neck so I did. I turned around and grabbed my hair to one side and Draco looped the chain around my neck, making me suck in my breath as I felt his cold ring briskly make contact with my skin. Once he clasped it, he let it go then I felt the charms against my chest and it was the perfect length as it sat a few inches above the family heirloom necklace. I turned around again and was about to say something to Draco when I heard my mother shout.

"Estelle Marie!" And not wanting to be scolded I immediately got up and grabbed Draco's hand dragging him out of my room and down the stairs, heading straight to the dining room where I saw my mother, my father, Elijah and Cedric sat at the table.

"Cedric!" I smiled then went to him, giving him a quick hug then going to my usual seat beside mother, Draco sitting right next to me.

"Isn't that my hoodie?" Elijah asked as he chewed on his omelette

"Uhm, no?" I said, making father chuckled lightly as he ate. Draco started to eat as well and I smiled at him randomly, making him look at me weirdly but smile nonetheless. We sat there in silence as we ate, none of us wanting to talk as we savored the food that we were eating although, when mother finished, she turned to me and started to talk. "We're going to stay in our Mansion in Cannes for the whole summer" Mother said and I almost choked on my food with excitement. I hugged her, bombarding her with thank you's which made her chuckle though, what she said next made me hug her even tighter. "Draco and Cedric are coming as well, we already talked to Amos, Narcissa and Lucius, they accepted whole heartedly." She smiled I hugged her tight then pulled away then ran to Cedric giving him a hug then ran to Draco, doing the same as well then sat back down on my seat.
