Chapter Sixteen- This tingling sensation will be the death of me

I woke up to the wonderful smell of pancakes. I blinked at the sun that was shining through the window, and stiffly sat up. It took me a minute to recall last night as I saw Emma asleep right next to me and Dan asleep on the cushioned chair.

I stood up and stretched as I walked down into the kitchen to see Tom standing in front of the stove. I yawned. He smiled at me and my heart fluttered as if it was coming to life high on crack.

"Morning sleeping beauty" he said then looked back to the stove. Thank god he didn't see me blush.

Why right when I realize that I might possibly love him do all these feelings come and threaten to embarrass me? Well I think playing hard to get is out the window.

"I didn't know you could cook?" I asked sitting on one of the stools at the bar watching him. He had jeans on and a plain white t-shirt with a kitchen towel slinged over his shoulder.

He came over and looked at me leaning his hands against the counter separating us. "There are a lot of things you don't know about me Cas" he said as he poked me nose, which I wrinkled trying to drive away the tingling he left upon me.

"Your cute" he said as he flipped another pancake onto a plate and placed it in front of me.

"This isn't going to poison me right?" I asked half kidding half serious.

"No silly girl, why would I want to kill you?" he said shaking his head.

I hesitantly took a bite and felt my taste buds jump for joy. "Oh my god this is amazing!" I said popping another bit into my mouth.

"I know I'm amazing" he smiled.

"You are amazing" I smiled back at him.

"Yeah Tom you're so amazing" Emma said stretching as she took a seat next to me.

"Cassie seems to think so" Tom said looking back at the stove while flipping another delicious pancake.

"Well of course she-" Emma was about to say but I cut her off by elbowing her ribs. She silently cursed.

"What Emma?" Tom said. He was kind of oblivious.

"I said" I cut her off again. "I need to talk to Em for a minute" I said dragging her up the stairs to my bedroom.

Emma was laughing the whole way and once I shut the door I yelled "What is the matter with you?!"

"You finally realize that you like him" she clapped while still laughing.

I blushed a bright red.

She just giggled some more "Hey it's not like I'm going to tell him so chill out, you seem too tense."

"Why wouldn't I be tense? I mean I'm sharing a dream with like a million girls! Probably even more. This is just disastrous. Why? Why? Why?! Why do I have to be in love with Tom Felton? My life is never going to be the same again!"

"Wait" Em said looking as if she was in deep thought. "Love?" she questioned.

"I thought you knew that?"

"Uh no!!" she practically yelled.

"Well yeah..." I said blushing.

I slumped down against the door of my closet. "My life is doomed" I whimpered.

"Cassie Cassie Cassie" Emma sighed coming to sit next to me.

"What? What? What?" I asked annoyed.

"You're so blind!"

"Wait huh? Elaborate please"

"Nope I will not you're going to have to figure it out by yourself, but Cas I'm pretty sure that your life was never going to be the same when you stepped into that rollercoaster."

I rolled my eyes.

"Now I have to go home and get ready for the party will you live without me?"

I sighed "Oh I think I'll manage"

She smiled and left. I grabbed Goblet of fire and went to the pool sitting on one of the cushions reading.

It was coming to the part when Harry was in the library trying to find out what to do about having to breathe underwater for an hour for the second task when I felt something tower over me.

I turned to look and screamed while flinging the book aside and jumping four feet in the air and then tripping backwards about to fall in the pool when Tom caught me, and pulled me forward towards his chest.

There was no space between us. Like literally I could feel all of his muscles even through his shirt and feel his body heat warming me up. And when the wind blew I could smell his cologne. And I could feel his arms around me. I tried to hide my blush but I just looked up to see his face towering over me, and for the first time I saw a smirk, but it wasn't Tom's smirk oh no this was Draco Malfoy's smirk and Damn he looked so sexy. I was literally having problems with turning oxygen into carbon dioxide.

"I didn't know that me reading over your shoulder was going to scare you so much" he breathed and I could taste peppermint on my lips.

"Sorry" I said I was feeling shocking electricity running through my veins. I felt that if I was like this for one more second with him that I was going to die from lack of breath. This tingling sensation was going to be the death of me wasn't it?

He chuckled and let go of me. And went to pick up my book.

My whole body was stinging from his body. It wasn't fair that he could have this effect on me.

As he returned it into my hands he asked "Could you wake up Dan people will be here soon"

I looked at him as if he was crazy "What time is it?" I asked totally forgetting the fact that I hadn't looked at the clock the entire day.

"It is like 6:30"

"Early party?"

"Eh I told you it's just a couple of friends not anything big, will you just go wake him up?"

"Uh yeah sure" I said as I quickly scurried up to the theater room.

Dan was still sleeping peacefully in the chair. "Dan" I sang while shaking him. He mumbled something and turned over. "If you're going to be that way then fine" I said. Then noticed that the Twilight movie menu was still on. I went to scene selection and picked the scene where Edward was deciding whether to leave Bella human or suck the venom out when they were in the ballet room. I turned it up as loud as it would go and covered my ears (because they had surround sound) and pressed play then I heard Robert say "Carlisle" really loudly and Dan fell on the ground and asked "Rob?" I burst out laughing while turning the screen off.

"That's not funny" Dan said getting off the floor.

"Rob? Rob?" I imitated him still laughing.

"Why did you have to wake me up from my beauty sleep?"

"Beauty sleep?" I questioned.

"Yes" he said as if it was nothing.

"Well Tom wanted you to wake up for the party"

"Oh" was all he said as he stalked out the door.

I went back to my room and took a long hot shower. Trying to wash my new feelings away. But it had the opposite affected it just gave me time to think. Which wasn't helping anything.

I got out and quickly got dressed in some jeans and a t-shirt and dried my hair. As I was finishing my makeup I heard Tom yell "Cassie!"

Did I mention I love it when he says my name?

I quickly ran to the stairs to look down at four boys that I had never seen.

I stopped short and walked down the stairs Tom smiling at me the whole time.

"Cassie this is Matt, Lucas, Alec, and Nathaniel... guys this is Cassie"

They were all really attractive.

Matt had dirty blonde hair with beautiful green eyes. He was officially ripped too and I mean like Taylor Lautner ripped.

Lucas had black hair that fell into his eyes and had grey eyes that looked so mysterious. He had some muscles but nothing compared to Matt.

Alec had brown hair that was cropped short and brown eyes. With a cheeky smile and almost flawless lips. He had a swimmers body.

Nathaniel could be Alec's twin they look almost exactly the same except he had blue eyes and his hair was longer covering his eyes and he was glaring at Tom. "It's actually Nathan, but thanks Thomas" he said with a smirk.

I giggled I had never heard Tom be called Thomas. Tom looked like he was about to kill him.

"Anyway this is Cassie?" Alec said.

"Damn Tom where'd you find her?" Matt asked.

"And where can I find one?" Lucas asked.

I blushed and laughed.

"Aw she's cute" Alec said which made me blush more.

"Dan the guys are here!" Tom yelled.

Nathan smirked at Tom then put an arm around me leading me into the living room.

"Yeah make yourself comfortable guys" Tom said rolling his eyes, which made my heart skip a beat.

"We will" Lucas said sitting on the couch.

"Hey are you two twins or something?" I asked pointing to Nathan and Alec.

"Yeah fraternal twins" Alec said. He was basically bouncing off the walls. "Where the alcohol Tom?" He asked.

"In the kitchen where else would it be?" Tom said and I heard him mutter "moron" which made me laugh.

Then the door bell rang.

I went to answer it but Tom beat me to it.

The door revealed two girls.

"Ah" Tom said "Melissa and Rose"

Melissa perked up seeing me. She had black hair that was dead straight and pretty brown eyes. She was short. And she said "Cassie!" and hugged me. I hesitantly hugged back and said "Hi?"

"Nice to see you too Tom" she said walking past him into the house.

Rose was quiet. She had dirty blonde hair and pretty blue eyes.

"Good to see you Rose" Tom said smiling warmly at her.

She blushed. You could tell she was extremely shy.

"Hi Tom, nice to meet you Cassie"

I smiled as she walked into the house.

Tom said "Melissa's Lucas's girlfriend and Rose is Matt's"

"Oh" I said nodding.

"If you didn't get it there my friends"

I rolled my eyes "I'm not stupid"

He just shrugged and I hit his chest. Playfully. He smiled at me.

The door bell rang and I opened it before Tom could.

"The party's here guys" Emma said as she posed I laughed.

Following behind her was Rupert.

"Cassie" he smiled.

"Rupert" I smiled back.

He quickly pulled me into a half hug as we walked towards the kitchen.

"Tom annoying you yet?" he asked.

"No not yet" I said back.

He just smiled.

It had been four hours later. Most everyone was drunk. And I mean Drunk. I had been hit on twice by Nathan. And Matt took Rose home. Everyone was drunk, except me because I don't drink. I was getting bored because nothing seemed funny to me and everything seemed funny to them.

I grabbed Emma's arm as she was dancing she asked over the blared music. "What?"

"I'm going to bed" I said sleepily.

"You sure?" she questioned. At least she wasn't that drunk so she understood me.

"Yeah I'll call you later"

"Ok" she said turning back to the dance floor.

I trugged up stairs and went in my room. Nobody was upstairs so at least I didn't have to hear unpleasant things. I mean even Timber was down stairs having a good time.

I dressed quickly for bed and slipped into the covers. Even though there was music shaking the house I still managed to fall asleep.
