I'd-give:you-my:last{b.r.e.a.t.h}--Corliss. =D

[Kota Daniels]

A bright smile spread across Kota's face, as he walked into the Slytherin Common Room. He had just mumbled the password, and slid into the room, seconds before. His eyes twinkled brightly, as he looked into the bright fire. It was a little bit past midnight, and his hair was wet from his late night swim in the Black Lake. He plopped down on the emerald green sofa, and kicked his shoes off softly. They thudded against the floor lightly, and Kota hoped that it wouldn't wake anyone. He doubted it would though.
Kota streched himself out on the sofa, letting his eyes drop slowly. No, he was not tired, nor did he care to go to sleep considering he was going to sleep 'til noon tomorrow anyways. It was Saturday so he didn't see the reason to wake up early. 'If someone wakes me up in the morning, I'm going to punch them so hard...' He thought to himself semi distracted. He then sighed softly, feeling relaxed.
Dakotah's eyes flashed open once more, as he heard a soft crackle coming from the fire. He turned on his side, still staring deeply into the fire's red, and orange colors. He could feel the heat coming from the fire, as it warmed him up. He was still shivering from the ice cold water in the Black Lake. How could people stand that? It was so bone chilling that he could only swim for a couple minutes, before he had to jump out of it's depth.
Kota then laughed softly as he remembered how the ice cold water in the Lake had made him gasp. He must have looked like a God darn fool while he threw his head back, looking at the stars. He had been shivering, all the way while he dived into the darkness of the Lake. Then he had lost his breath, and had to swim back up to the top of the water. He was surprised by how long he had actually stayed in the water. Normally he would have stuck his toe in, and put his pants, and shirt back on. He hated the cold, and was very happy as he continued to feel the warmth of the fire. He sighed once more, feeling his toes un-freeze.

[Corliss Malfoy]

Feet aching, Corliss Malfoy ambled down the corridoors toward the Slytherin Common Room. After a quick bath to calm her nerves, a day of training first and seconds years in the art of Unforgivables really takes it out of you, she decided to take the rest of the night off. Sighing as she cursed a third year for getting in her way, she looked him up and down. "And what are you doing out so late? I'll see that the Headmaster tends to you!" she threatened, an evil smirk on her perfect face. Chuckling to herself, she kicked the boy from her mind and contiuned to the Common Room.
"Pureblood." she whispered, a proud smile on her face. She pushed the portrait open, not caring if she woke anyone. They wouldn't dare mess with her, or any DE for that matter. She was hit by a way of heat, warming her damp, platimun blonde hair. She laughed softly to herself, the sound twinkling around the near empty room. She spotted one of her friends, and a certain boy she happened to like. A Mr. Kota Daniels. She raised an eyebrow at his closed eyes. Hum, no girls around for him to flirt with. Thats a change. She made her way over to the sofa, plooping down next to him.
Quickly, before he had the chance to open his eyes, she pulled her legs up in a criss cross position. "HOw do you do!" she greeted warmly, a friendly smile tugging at the corners of her pink lips. "Fancy seeing you up at this time. No doubt you've taken a dip in the lake?" Her eyes glowing with beauty, she ruffled his wet hair. "How have you been my dear friend? I haven't gotten the chance to talk to you in ages! Oh how I missed our talks. Father said he was worring in his last letter. I haven't said anything about you in so long, he thought we were fighting." she said, leaning back aganist the arm of the dark green sofa.

Kota's eyes shot up as he heard Corliss beautiful voice drift over to him. He studied her with a soft adorable smile on his face. His dimples were at the very edge of his smile, making his smile even more adorable. He lifted himself up on his elbows, where he could get a better look at his great friend. "Well, yeah I sure did take a swim in the Lake. I froze my ass off in the process though. I miss our convos too. Oh and by the way, you are looking mighty fine tonight." Kota spoke sexily to Corliss, as he looked her up and down once more. He flashed her his million dollar smile, and looked back at the fire.
"I know, tell your dad that he's a beast, and I can't wait 'til I see him again. I will get to go over to your house again for Christmas right? Considering I don't want to see my stepfather? I mean we did have fun last Christmas right?" His voice was soft at the end, and he grabbed Corliss' hand, and squeezed it softly. "You can't forget the night under the mistletoe..." His voice faded out, and then he sat up, bringing himself closer to Corliss' soft face.
Kota's hand still held onto Corliss' as he placed his other hand on her face. His big finger rubbed softly along her jaw line, as he looked deeply into her beautiful eyes. "I know I didn't forget it... I hope you didn't." His voice drifted off again, as he leaned even closer to Corliss again. "Too bad there isn't one above us right now... well there doesn't necessarily have to be one for me to kiss you right now. I guess that depends on how you feel though..."

[Corliss Malfoy]

Corliss smiled as Kota explained his adventure in the Black Lake. "No shit you freeze your ass off, though ot woulld be a shame." she said, her voice sounding like velvet aganist the crackling fire. She smile at him, the gesture not seen by many other than her select few friends. "I thought you would miss talking to me." she teased, hitting him lightly on one of his muscly arms. She laughed softly, thinking about how cute he looked. "Well, thats good to hear, seeing I just took a bath and have no make up on or anything of that sort." she said, smiling softly.

Corliss had a feeling that Kota would be a bit flirty and it didn't bother her. Not one bit. She smiled back at him, thinking about his comment. Oh the fun they'd had last Christmas. Snowball wars with October, Kota, and herself. It made her smile to think of all the trouble they'd gotte in when they 'messed' with a cat from a neighbor down the road. "Will do. I think you're welcome anytime at Malfoy Manor. Father will be delighted to see you again." she whispered as Kota lifted himself closer. She smiled at him. It wasn't her normal, relaxed smile. It was, as not many people had seen, a very... Sexy smile.

Corliss felt the boy grab her hand and hold onto it. She smiled as she wrapped her fingers through his. "No, you can't forget that night." she whispered as Kota drew nearer. She felt perfectly at ease as Kota placed his hand on her face, carressing her jaw line. "I haven't forgotten it either, m'dear." she whispered, liking the way she felt having him so near. She watched him, feeling the warmth of his body so very close to her now. She smiled, a tiny laugh escaping her lips. "We need not misletoe, love. I don't feel bad about it. In no way at all." she whispered aganist his lips.

[Kota Daniels]

Kota raised one eyebrow at Corliss' words, and his eyes seemed to look at her with intense love. "That's good to know, Cor. I have a feeling I would have kissed you anyways though."Those were his last words before his lips barely touched Corliss'. He then leaned forward a little more, getting more into the kiss. Kota felt an energy shock go through his body, as their lips met, and this felt exactly the way it should. He parted his mouth, hoping that he wasn't going to fast for Corliss.
Kota slipped his tongue into her mouth, and slid it across the roof of her mouth. He had learned that it was the most ticklish spot on the human body, so he thought they might play a little game. He continued licking the top of her mouth, surprised that she hadn't torn away from the kiss yet. He had to though. It didn't feel right. Him not coming clean before kissing her. "Okay, listen. I have been hiding my feelings from you forever. I really really like you. I actually think I'm in love with you. Would it ever be possible for you and I to be a couple?" he asked, as his eye brows furrowed.
Kota squeezed Corliss' hand as he waited patiently for an answer. His other hand had dropped from her face though, now laying in his lap. His eyes still locked tightly on Corliss' he sighed, as he continued to wait for an answer. He hoped it would be the answer he wanted. 'Cause he wanted Corliss' so bad, and he didn't know what he would do without her in his life. What would he do? He had no idea, but he just continued to pray to God, that Corliss was the one for him.

[Corliss Malfoy]

Corliss harldy heard Kota's words before his lips where on hers. The gentle peck that quickly devolped into so much more. Feeling Kota lean closer to her, she let the gaurd she normally kept up. She moved her fingers through his hair, feeling more carefree than she had felt in so long. So, being Corliss, something was bound to go wrong. God! Why does my life have to be so hard? First Miles, then Avery and Kye, now Rowen and Kota? Really Cor?
Then she felt it happen. The twing that her heart made when Kota moved away from her, his face looking flushed.She smiled softly even though her heart seemed to pound in her throat. "I... Like you too. I just couldn't really tell you because of... Avery. But, but now that doesn't matter and all I know is that I can hardly breath when your around." she whispered, running her hand across his cheek.

[Kota Daniels]

Kota felt breathless as he listened to Corliss speak. "Wait, so you do like me? Thank God!" He said hurriedly. Then realized what else she had said. "Same here, Cor. I feel like I'm not good enough when I'm around you. I fight so hard to try to impress you. It's very hard you know... it seems your expectations are really high... kinda freaks me out sometimes. We always knew this was coming though, right?" He aske Corliss, softly.
Kota drew closer to Corliss, placing his hand carefully on her back. He turned her around softly, to where her back was now to him. It was so easy to move her, considering how strong he was. He pressed himself against the couch, laying her safely on top of him. Her back was now resting softly on his chest, her head resting on his shoulder. He smiled down at her, whispering in her ear.
"So, Cor... since we feel the same way... would you like to be my girlfriend?" He whispered very quietly in her ear. He felt his face grow hot, and he knew he was blushing. 'Shit... I wasn't suppose to blush...' He thought angrily to himself. He just shrugged it off though, waiting patiently for her response. He prayed that she would say yes. He wanted her to be his girlfriend more than anything else in the world. He didn't want anything else except for Corliss. How could Avery had let her out of his grips? She was simply gorgeous, inside and out. He was in love with her, he had been since the first day he had seen her.

[Corliss Malfoy]

Smiling at his words, Corliss leaned closer to him. She gave him a sweet kiss on the cheek. "You need not worry about my expectations. They are high, as any girls should be. You've exceeded them though." she said, her eyes sparkling in the new found love. A laugh escaped her lips. Now, one of her all time best guy friends was telling her that he liked her? What a great night! Oh, what would Niki say when she told her. Her life was getting weirder by the second. Not that she cared one bit. Life was ment to be odd and she liked it that way.

Feeling Kota's hand on her back she smiled again. She knew she was light, and thankful for that small fact. All the boys told her she was crazy light. When she asked if it was a good thing, they had laughed and said it was a blood great thing. "I guess we did know it would happen sooner or later." she said as he placed her on his chest. She liked the way his body felt as she laid over him. Her lovely laugh echoed across the empty room as he adjusted a slight bit.
Taking a deep breath, Corliss tilted her head back so she could see the boy her back was aganist. She had been praying for what he asked her next. "Will you be my girlfriend?" Her heart seemed to pop out of her chest. It was racing like a humming bird's wings as she tried to find her voice. Say yes! Yes! YES! She fought to find her voice as she screamed the answer in her head. Feeling that she would never find her voice, she tried to think of how to answer him without words. After thinking it over for a second, the thought of the perfect answer flung itself into her brain. She smiled as she put the plan into effect.

She lifted her chin up a bit more so she could easily find his lips. She kissed him with more passion than she had ever kissed anyone. She let her hand find its way to his face, pulling him closer if it was even possible. She loved the way she felt when their tongues met and began the rythmic pattern that felt so right. She broke the contact when the need for air was to great to surpress any longer. "Does that answer your question?" she asked breathlessly, a smile etched on her lips.

[Kota Daniels]

Kota's golden eyes had a sort of glint to them, as he stared into Corliss' blue-green eyes. It made him get a wave of affection, towards his best friend, and soon to be girlfriend. He felt Corliss' lips press against his with passion, and he seemed to waste away in her mouth. He could feel himself fall deeper and deeper into the hole Corliss had already made. He was falling in love with her even more than he already had been. It astounded Kota, that he could feel anymore passion, and devotedness to this girl whom was laying softly on his chest, with her lips embracing his. Everything felt so right... so impeccable to Kota, at this very genuine moment in his life.
Kota felt Corliss extract her lips from his, and heard her voice directly after the movement. "Hell yes that answers my question Corly." Ironically pleased with this nickname that just seemed to pop into his head he smiled, a loving smile at his new girlfriend. She was so beautiful, and flawless. He didn't know what to do about her, but he loved her way too much for his own good. Looking deep into Corliss' eyes, he spoke without hesitation, "You're so fine, my baby." He spoke clearly, and with a half smile on his face, which basically tortured girls. They normally had to hold themselves back from kissing him delightfully. He was glad that he now had the girl of his dreams, and that he wouldn't feel the sudden urge to flirt with any girls. He smiled at her widely, his eyes wide.

[Corliss Malfoy]

Corliss couldn't take it. She needed to get away from this before her heart ripped in two. One one hand you had Kota. Her charming, sweet, loving, amazingly hot boyfriend. On the other you had Noah. One of her close friends, sweet, sexy, cunning and evil. She loved Kota but she had fallen for Noah. Damn she was having problems. Yes, she was dating Kota now, as of five seconds before, but Noah was all she could think about. She heard Kota say something. "Your so fine, my baby." or something along those lines. She really wans't there. "No. I, I can't do this." she said, pushing herself up from Kota's warm chest. "I can't b,be your girlfriend." she whispered, tears in her eyes. She needed Nikita, or Tobie or, or anyone. Aiden! Thats who she needed. But where was he? She looked down at Kota, her heart ripping further in half, tears streaming down her soft red cheeks. "I love you... BUt I can't be with you. I guess I'm saying.. I'm breaking up with you." she finished, rushing up the stairs and into her room she shared with some of her friends. She was happy that the boys weren't allowed into the girl's section of the dorms.
