“Well, well, well, what do we have here?”
Turning, Ginny was surprised to see Blaise Zabini stroll up to the bar. He took the seat next to her, flashing her a grin. Well, she wasn’t surprised that he was at the resort, but she was surprised that he was choosing to sit with her at the bar. The two of them weren’t really friendly with each other, especially after Theo and Ginny had broken up.
“What are you doing here?” she asked, arching a brow at him.
“Well, we’re here on a mini-holiday to have a good time, and I saw a pretty, single witch sitting at the bar all alone. I couldn’t resist coming over to socialize.”
This weekend was Harry and Draco’s bachelor party, so in true Malfoy fashion, Draco had brought everyone to a Caribbean resort for the weekend. Things had been tense between Ginny and Theo, but she was glad that she didn’t have to spend much time around him and that most of the weekend was open for them to do whatever they wanted. Most of her time was spent with Harry, Ron, and Hermione - all of them avoiding Theo like he had the plague.
“We’ve never been friendly,” Ginny pointed out. “And I’m not really in the mood to be socializing if I’m being honest.”
“Doesn’t mean I can’t start being friendly now,” Blaise said. “Look, let me at least buy you another drink. What are you having?”
“Sex on the beach,” Ginny replied, her lips pulling into a small smirk. She waited for him to make a scandalous remark, but to her disappointment, he didn’t. In fact, he looked pleased with her drink choice.
“Perfect,” Blaise said, his voice dipping lower. He waved over the bartender. “Can we get two sex on the beaches over here!”
“I didn’t take you as the mixed drink type,” Ginny muttered quietly.
“What do you think I drink?” Blaise asked, chuckling quietly.
“Bourbon or scotch on the rocks,” Ginny answered with a shrug. She pushed away her finished drink and accepted the new one from the bartender. Taking a sip, she smiled. “Thanks for this.”
“Nah, Draco is the bourbon or scotch on the rocks guy,” Blaise said. “I love fruity and mixed drinks. They usually pack more of a punch, but go down smooth.” He took a sip of his drink and smiled.
“Makes them dangerous,” Ginny commented.
“Most smooth things are.”
“Are you warning me to stay away from you?” She arched a brow at him.
“You think I’m smooth?” Blaise countered, grinning at her wickedly.
Ginny sputtered, nearly choking on the sip of her drink she just took. When she finally got it together, she glared at him. “That’s not what I said, Blaise, and you know it.”
“That’s what you implied,” he said, shrugging his shoulder. He winked at Ginny. “Thank you, for that.”
Ginny opened her mouth to say something sassy, but her eyes widened and she froze as she saw someone coming towards the beach bar.
“What’s wrong?” Blaise said, immediately looking around for whatever it was that made her free up.
“Theo’s coming over here, and I don’t want him to talk to me,” Ginny muttered, looking around panicked. She tried to figure out where she could escape to. Looking at Blaise, she came to a decision just as Theo was about to walk by.
Leaning forward, she quickly pressed her lips against Blaise’s. He made a small noise of surprise, but she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed herself against him. When Blaise emitted a small moan, Ginny slipped her tongue inside his mouth, deepening the kiss. While it had started out as a distraction, she was starting to enjoy the kiss… Her insides warmed as she kissed him.
Blaise groaned, before nipping her bottom lip. He pulled away, smirking at her. “I think he passed us.”
Ginny licked her lips, staring at Blaise’s mouth before his words registered in her mind. “Oh, yes, I think he did.” She looked around and didn’t see Theo anywhere. “I… Sorry I didn’t say anything before kissing you. I just saw him coming, and knew I needed to cause a distraction or whatever.” She bit her lower lip. “Or try to make myself not noticeable. People kiss at bars all the time, don’t they?” she sounded unsure.
“Ginny, love, you could never be not noticeable,” Blaise said softly, reaching over and pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “At least not to me,” he added in a whisper.
Ginny blushed. “Well, I owe you one,” she muttered.
“I might cash you in on that favour sooner rather than later,” Blaise admitted, taking another sip of his drink.
“Oh jeez, what did you have in mind?” Ginny asked, sipping at her drink as well. Her stomach fluttered at the thought of him asking for something sexual in return. Not that she would do it, but she was curious.
“Skinny dipping in the ocean,” Blaise said, grinning excitedly. “The water is delightfully warm, and if we wait until later tonight when it’s super dark, no one will notice.”
“That’s very naughty of you, Blaise,” Ginny said. “What if you get caught?”
“You mean, what if we get caught?” he corrected her. “We’ll think of something.”
“I don’t know,” she muttered.
“Come on, you know it’ll be fun,” Blaise said, almost begging her.
Ginny leaned over, placing her hand on his leg. “Well, we better drink a few more of these drinks if I’m supposed to be swimming in the ocean naked later on.”
“Sounds like a plan to me!” Blaise said, grinning. Picking up his drink, he held it up, waiting for Ginny to do the same. Clinking their drinks together, he said, “Let’s get it done!”
“Cheers,” Ginny murmured, knocking back more of her drink. “Another round!” she shouted to the bartender.
Sure enough, later that night, two people were caught by security, not only skinny dipping but engaging in other indecent public behaviour, in the ocean. It was a night that neither of them would ever forget.
