Romione Love Story Chapter 5 - Diya K. M.

(Ron's point of view)

I stared up at the ceiling. My mind kept replaying what happened yesterday.

Idiot.

Why did I go and try to kiss 'Mione? That was stupid of me, she was probably disgusted. That was a stupid mistake. I just couldn't help myself. It's Hermione's fault, really. If she wasn't gorgeous, I would never do that.

My eyes rolled at my thoughts.

You're being dramatic, Ron!

"Ron"?

I turned my head and saw Harry standing near the doorway.

"Yeah?"

"Breakfast is served . . . you coming down?" he raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah, you can go ahead without me. I'll meet you there".

Harry nodded before leaving the room.

I got up from the bed, dragging some clothes before marching myself down the steps.

Once I entered the common room I spotted Hermione in the sofa where we almost kissed.

I took a deep breath before making my way over there. Then I stopped. She didn't see me at first; she was too engrossed in reading the book. Instead of disturbing her, I waited until she noticed me. After a few minutes, she place a bookmark on the page where she stopped reading and close the book.

"Oh Ron, How long have you been there?"

I shrugged, "Just got here."

She nodded "Come sit down." She patted the seat next to her. We sat together in an awkward silence - no one said a word. Well, what do you say to a person you almost kissed?

"So............" Hermione turned to me, "how did you sleep?"

''How did i sleep? I didn't. I stayed awake most of the night just thinking about you.''

I shrugged again. "Umm.. pretty good. You?"

"Same. I slept good as well."

More silence. What's wrong with us? Things haven't been this awkward. Ever.

Hermione took a deep breath and said, "Ron, I . . ."

"I am sorry for last night," she stared at me, "I mean, you were so freaking beautiful at that time. I couldn't control myself."

"Ron" she huffed, frustrated. "You shouldn't assume others reaction when you don't have any idea what they may be feeling."

My brows furrowed. I was confused- "I don't-"

"All I am saying is that have courage to talk with me. Anyways, I forgive you."

Before I had a chance to say anything, she headed up to her room, leaving me with a heated face and a rapidly beating heart.
