"Are you nervous?" Onyx asks, clasping a gold dainty necklace around my neck.

"Not really, Cedric's a good friend so it shouldn't be awkward," I reply, glancing at my reflection in the mirror.

I was currently wearing the green dress that Narcissa had gifted me this Christmas.

"No, I mean are you nervous about what the boys will say when they inevitably find out?" Onyx corrects, while standing behind me in the mirror and examining my reflection.

"I don't really care, to be honest. All three of them need to start associating with the other houses more anyway" I say, annoyance present in my voice.

"Enzo is going to flip his shit when he finds out that you're going on a date with Cedric," Onyx says suggestively.

"Tell me about it. That's why I've been avoiding him all day," I reply.

"Well, that's a problem for later. For now, let's just talk about how fucking good you look," Onyx looks me up and down as I turn around to face her.

"This is why I love you," I say with a smile.

"You better," She replies.

She glances at the clock hanging above our door and quickly grabs a pair of shoes. "Shoot, I promised Blaise I would meet him in the common room. Apparently he is 'having a crisis'," She makes air quotes with her fingers and rolls her eyes playfully.

"Have fun," I say sarcastically, as she makes her way out the door.

"You too," Onyx calls out.

"But not too much," She adds, peaking her head back through the door with a devious grin.

I laugh and she closes the door, leaving me to finish getting ready.

Only a moment later, three loud knocks sound on the wooden door.

Knock.

Knock.

Knock.

"Did you forget your key again?" I call out, walking across the room to let Onyx back in.

I open the door to a familiar face, but not the one I was expecting.

I jump back slightly at Lorenzo's tall figure leaning against the doorway.

"Fuck, you scared me Berkshire," I scold him, pushing him slightly in the chest.

I feel his breath hitch slightly as we touch and he smiles.

"You look good," Enzo says, grazing his eyes over my figure in an unashamed manner.

"You don't look too bad yourself," I reply and gesture for him to come inside.

I couldn't deny that he looked great. He was wearing gray sweatpants and a white t-shirt that squeezed his arm muscles, making them appear even more prominent than usual.

He walks in and leans his back against the far wall.

"Why have you been avoiding me?" He asks firmly, furrowing his brows.

"Hello to you too," I reply sarcastically.

He raises his eyebrows at me, urging me to answer his initial question.

"I don't know what you're talking about Enzo," I reply innocently and look away.

"Oh please, Maria. You are the smartest person I know, so don't try to play dumb now," He says matter-of-factly.

"I don't know what to tell you Enzo. I haven't been avoiding you," I say stubbornly, crossing my arms.

"Oh yeah? So what are you all dressed up for then?" Lorenzo asks, sizing me up once again.

"A date," I answer simply.

His eyes flicker and I can see the possessiveness slightly engulf him.

"With who?" He asks, stepping away from the wall and taking a few steps toward me.

"Cedric."

He rolls his tongue against the inside of his cheek and takes another step in my direction.

"Cedric?"

"Mhm," I reply.

"Didn't know you were into Hufflepuffs," He remarks, a coldness behind his words.

"I guess I'm into anyone who is straight up with me when it comes to their feelings," I say, clearly insulting him.

"And what is that supposed to mean?" He responds, taking another step so that he is only inches away from me.

"It's supposed to mean that I am done," I say, staring up at him.

"Done with what?" He asks.

"Done waiting around for you to be honest with me. I don't care if you like me anymore Enzo. I really don't. And I am not going to sit around hoping that you one day will feel the same. It's a waste of my time, especially when I have other options," I articulate calmly.

I grab my bag and turn back to him before he has the chance to respond.

"I am going on my date. Just lock the door behind you," I say, turning around to leave.

"No, you're not," He huffs.

"No I'm not what?" I stop to look back at him.

"You're not going on a date with someone else," He states.

I cut him off before he can continue.

"I think you may be forgetting that you don't own me Enzo. I can do what I want. And what I want is to go out with someone who actually shows that he is into me," I answer, turning back toward the door once again.

Enzo grabs my arm, pulling me back toward him.

I look up into his eyes and a familiar heat grows inside my body.

"I think you may be forgetting that I am into you Maria. I am so annoyingly, undeniably, gut-wrenchingly into you that it is all I can think about. That you ignoring me for less than a day affected me so much that I had to come to your room just to hear your voice. That the thought of you going out with a different guy makes me sick to my stomach. That I just want to grab you and make you mine every time I see you," He confesses, his chest rising and falling with every word.

I swallow, digesting his unexpected words.

"Then do it Berkshire," I finally reply, staring up into his warm eyes.

"I dare you," I add in a whisper, leaning in so that our lips are only centimeters apart.

He pulls me in with one hand on my waist and the other on my cheek.

Our lips connect in a long overdue kiss.

Enzo picks me up and I wrap my legs around his waist as he lays me down onto the bed.

After a moment, he pulls away.

"Call off the date," He says breathlessly, looking down at me and searching my eyes for an answer.

I nod in agreement and he pulls me in once again.
