Always

After a long cold shower that was very much needed, I was now running late for work. I grabbed my phone and sent a message to Hermione.

Me: Running late. I have so much to tell you!

Hermione: Is it Ron related?

Me: Maybe…

Hermione: Well hurry up!

Laughing I put my phone down and walked to my closet. Grabbing a simple pair of black work pants and a long sleeve blue shirt that had the back slightly cut out, I pulled my hair back into a bun and waved my hand to glamour some makeup on my face as I had no time to actually do it the non-magical way. I grabbed a napkin and the extra croissant that luckily Ron left me and went to grab my keys. Deciding it would just be faster the magical way, I grabbed my work back and headed to the floo to Hermione’s office. I arrived and she let out a startled yelp.

“Warn me if you’re going to do that!”, she scolded but was laughing. I laughed back at her.

“Sorry, I just figured I was already so late, it would be easier to just use magic today”. I walked to my desk to set my back down and then walked back to her office and shut the door.

“Wait, we need to call Gin”, Hermione said. She grabbed her phone and called Ginny. Before she could even hang up Ginny was walking through the floo in Hermione’s office.

“What happened? Are you dating? Did you kiss? Ginny started in with the questions before she even made it all the way out of the fireplace. “Oh my gosh! Did you have… sex”, she whispered. I laughed her

“Goodness Gin, one question at a time.” I grinned at her, and she motioned her hands for me to hurry up. “After the nightmare incident – which I’m assuming he filled everyone in on?”, I inquired. She nodded her head yes, frowning slightly. “Well after that I asked him to sleep with me”. She gasped at that.

“Oh, come on, we’ve been sleeping in the same bed for years. You both know that. That’s nothing new”, I sighed at her.

“I didn’t think it would continue once you moved in together”, Hermione said.

“Oh, that’s not even the good part,” I laughed.

“Well get to it”, Ginny interrupted again.

“I would if you stopped interrupting” I glared at her. She motioned as if she was locking her lips. “Anyway… we slept in the same bed and when we woke up… we kissed. I kissed his neck and when I pulled away, he was just looking at me, and I don’t know who leaned in first, but we kissed… a lot. But then, the doorbell rang”, we both groaned at that. “It was Mum. Anyway, she was only there for a minute, but as I was walking back to my room, I heard Ron… in the shower… moaning…” I whispered; I could feel the blush on my cheeks from the memory.

“Oh my gosh! Was he… ya know?” Hermione asked curiously, her mouth open in shock. I nodded yes.

“Oh yes he was. He got dressed, just pants, no shirt, and… we made out some more. He had his hand up my shirt, but I looked at the time and I was already running late… well here we are.” I finished, still blushing wildly.

“So, is this new? Or how long has this been going on?” Ginny inquired.

“Pretty much all summer. We give quick kisses here and there. Sometimes we kiss a lot. But we haven’t talked about anything more serious”, I said, a slight smile on my face thinking of all of our stolen moments.

“He does not act this sweet and nice around anyone else. I have no idea how you got him to behave like an actual human being”, Ginny laughed. I laughed at her and shrugged my shoulders.

“Magic”, I giggled.

“So, what now then?” Hermione asked.

“Well before he left for work, he said rain check on the kissing… and said we can talk about me being his girlfriend!” I squealed with excitement. After sharing in my excitement, Ginny left, and we got to work.

Ginny popped back through the Floo at Grimmauld Place and immediately called out for Harry while dusting herself off.

"Harry James Potter", she shouted, he came rushing down the stairs, tripping over his own feet.

"Ow. Gin what is it? Are you okay?", Harry asked with concern.

"Did you know Katie and Ron have been kissing all summer?", she demanded. By the look on his face, the answer was yes. "HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME?", she shouted at him and slapped his arm.

"Ow. Ginny! I assumed Katie told you! and besides, I don't make it a habit to talk about my best mate and someone who might as well be my sister", Harry said, rubbing his shoulder. Ginny laughed at kissed her boyfriend.

The day was going so slow. I couldn’t wait to get home. I pulled out my phone and noticed a text message from Ron.

Ronald Bilius Weasley <3: Thinking about me?

Me: Always

Ronald Bilius Weasley <3: And what exactly about me are you thinking???

I was smiling so big I thought my face would be stuck like that. I paused to think about how I should respond.

Me: Thinking about your shower and your hands…

Ronald Bilius Weasley <3: My hands?

Me: Mmhmm… of them up my shirt and maybe how they would feel… in other places…

Ronald Bilius Weasley <3: ………

Ronald Bilius Weasley <3: I can’t wait to see you later. I miss you beautiful

Me: I miss you more. Now get to work :P

I put my phone away and tried to concentrate on the paperwork in front of me. It was nearly impossible at this point. Only three more hours now until I could go home to him. I took my phone back out and turned on some music to distract me and help me concentrate on my work.

Finally, it was time to go home. I barely walked in the door when Ron pushed me against it. I let out a startled gasp. He grabbed my wrist and pinned them above my head, his mouth instantly attached to my neck. I moaned and dropped my bag to the ground.

“Hello… to you... too”, I gasped. He looked at me before pressing his lips to mine. He dropped my hands and lifted me up by my legs. I wrapped my legs around his waist and placed my arms around his neck. I opened my mouth to deepen the kiss. He moved us over to the couch, placing me in his lap.

“I’ve been… thinking... about… you… all… day”, he said in between kisses. I nodded my head but didn’t respond back. His hand moved to my back, pushing me closer to him. Our mouths were moving in sync. I ground my hips down on him, I could feel him through his sweats. I moaned into his mouth. His hands moved up my shirt and cupped my breast. I wasn’t wearing a bra; due to the shirt I was wearing. I could feel the surprise in his face. He reached for the hem of my shirt when both of our phones rang.

“Seriously?” he groaned.

“Are you fucking kidding me”? I said at the same time. I groaned and moved off of him so he could get his phone.

“Hello” he said, though I couldn’t hear who was on the other end. I couldn’t help myself and started kissing his neck. He resumed his massage on my breast. “Yeah, I’m with Kat… yeah okay” he put the phone on speaker.

“Hello?” I asked.

“WE'RE ENGAGED!!!” both Ginny and Harry yelled into the phone.

“WHAT??? THAT’S GREAT!” I yelled.

“Congratulations” Ron said.

“We are going out for drinks to celebrate,” Harry said.

“Join us please” Ginny added. Ron looked at me. I sighed at having to put things on hold yet again.

“Of course. Where and when” I replied, reaching for Ron’s hand, and lacing our fingers. After finishing the phone call, I sighed and excused myself to freshen up before we left. I kept on my shirt but changed into a pair of simple blue jeans and black flats. I took my hair down from its bun and let it flow down my back. I reapplied the glamor of makeup I had on my face and walked back out to Ron.

“You look stunning” he whispered in my ear and sucked lightly on my neck. He sent chills down my spine. I grabbed his hand and walked out the door before I decided to forget all about celebrating with my friends. We chatted about our day on the way to the bar, our hands interlaced the whole time. We headed inside and saw Harry up at the bar and the rest of friends at a table in the back. I walked to the table and hugged Ginny, while Ron went to the bar to get our drinks. The boys returned and I smiled as Ron handed me a Jack and Coke.

I started talking with our friend Theo about work at the ministry with Hermione and what projects we wanted to work on next. I turned back to talk to Ron and noticed his ex-girlfriend Lavender had joined our group and was leaning seductively on Ron, trying to get him to kiss her.

“Excuse me,” I said quickly, excusing myself from the table. I walked as fast as I could towards the bathrooms. I wiped away the tears from my eyes. It’s not like Ron and I were actually dating. I had no right to be jealous. He had a right to kiss whoever he wanted; I just couldn’t watch it.

“Kat… Kat wait”, I heard Ron calling my name. “Katie please”, he begged. I stopped walking and waited for him to catch up to me without turning around. He reached for my arm, turning me to face him. Once he saw my tear-stained face, he pulled me into the bathroom and locked the door behind him. He lifted me slightly, so I was sitting on the sink counter, while he stood between my legs. “Kat why are you crying?”, he asked, cupping my face with his palm, and wiping my tears away with his thumbs.

“I’m sorry. I know I don’t have a right to be jealous. We aren’t actually dating, so you can kiss whoever, but I thought…” I was interrupted by his lips on mine.

“I didn’t kiss her Kat; I wouldn’t do that to you. I came to follow you. I don’t want anyone except for you”. He placed his hand on my thigh and leaned down close to me. He was going painfully slow, so I leaned up to meet him. Our lips moved together. Slowly at first. But the kiss deepened quickly, passion and lust taking over. Our lips needing to be on each other. Ron started kissing down my jaw to my neck. He sucked on the spot right under my ear causing me to moan. I wrapped my legs around him tighter, trying to close any distance between us. Ron pushed me so that I was leaning back on the mirror behind the sink. His hands roamed the bottom of my shirt, squeezing onto my now waist.

“Please”, I moaned. Not needing anymore, he quickly lifted my shirt over my head. His eyes widened at my bare chest bouncing from the removal of my shirt.

“You’re so fucking perfect Kat”, Ron said before putting one of my nipples in his mouth, flicking the sensitive bud with his tongue. I could feel Ron’s fingers playing with the hem of my pants. I pushed him away.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to go so fast…” he started to apologize, but I cut him off quickly.

“No. No. I just want to continue at home, not in the bathroom of a bar. Our bed is more comfortable”, I smiled at him, nibbling on his ear. Ron handed me my shirt quicker than I’ve ever seen him move. I put it on, not bothering to adjust my now messy hair. He grabbed my hand, and we ran back out to the bar and out the door. I could hear people calling our names but ignored them. Ron dragged us to the ally next to the bar and apparated us home. Ron ran us up grabbed my hand to drag me, willingly, to my bedroom.
