The date continues...
Lucius snorted at the challenging look on Ginny's face. Grabbing his napkin, he wiped his mouth, before taking a sip off of his wine.
"Why Mr. Malfoy." Ginny teased. "I do believe you just snorted."
"Don't be ridiculous you cheeky little witch. I am a Malfoy. Malfoy's do not snort."
"Oh okay." She rolled her eyes dramatically. "Whatever you say."
Leaning forward he folded his hands on the table and locked his gray eyes with hers. "Sky blue, turkey, Frankenstein. Have you met my son Draco? Quidditch and having your whole life ahead of you, I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours. I like to make money, Vermont and I'm not wearing any either."
"Narcissa." Ginny said, keeping her eyes locked on his.
"No."
The waiter arrived at that moment with their plates. Lucius leaned back, giving him room to place the meals on the table.
"Bon appetit." The waiter said, bowing slightly.
"Semble magnifique, merci." Lucius said, picking up his knife and fork.
"It wasn't Narcissa? But Draco said you were engaged to her since before you were born."
"I was. But she was not my first." He took a bite of steak and chewed, clearly enjoying the flavor. "That honor went to a blonde Ravenclaw who took my breath away." A small sad smile touched his lips.
"Who?" Ginny asked, taking a small bite of her chicken.
"You would not know her. She passed away many years ago, but I do believe you are friends with her daughter."
Ginny took a bite of chicken and chewed slowly. "Luna? Luna Lovegood's mother? What happened, why didn't you stay with her?"
Lucius took another bite of his steak and washed it down with a sip of wine. "Because I had no choice in the matter. I was betrothed to Narcissa since, as Draco puts it, before we were born. When Narcissa learned of my affair she put a stop to it."
"How? You weren't married yet. You were still in school for Merlin's sake."
"She told her father and he told my father." He shrugged and took another sip of wine. "Narcissa and I have known each other our entire lives. We care for each other like a brother and a sister. But we have never been "in love" like a couple should be. Despite the lack of romantic feelings, Narcissa was very possessive of me. In her eyes, I belonged to her and no one else."
"That's so sad. How did Luna's mother take it?"
"She was hurt. I was hurt. But it was how it had to be. She knew the situation before she became involved with me. Your turn." He said, taking his last bite of steak and pushing his plate away.
Ginny chuckled ruefully. "Well I wouldn't think it's very hard to figure out."
"Not Harry Potter? But he prefers..."
"Men. I know." She shrugged. "That was probably why it wasn't very good and only happened a few times."
"Were you upset when you found out?"
Ginny took her last bite of chicken and placed her napkin on her plate. "No. I was actually happy for him. And Draco. It's like you said, we were really more like brother and sister. Were you upset when you found out about Draco?"
"No. I love Draco. I want him to be happy. I do wish he would be willing to marry and at least produce one heir, but he refuses."
"So now the responsibility falls back to you."
"Yes."
They had moved to the private lounge section of the restaurant to carry on their conversation.
"How do you feel about having to start over, have more babies." Ginny asked, staring out the window at the beautiful starry sky. She shivered a little as Lucius ran his finger tips up and down the bare skin of her spine.
"I'd like to be a better father then I was to Draco. I would like to be in love with my children's mother this time." His voice sounded wistful.
"Why did you and Narcissa finally decide to get divorced?"
"It was time. She wanted to marry Anton. He wanted to marry her. They'd been together almost 18 years after all."
Ginny's eyes widened in shock.
"Narcissa and I's physical relationship ended with the conception of Draco. She met and fell in love with Anton soon after."
"What about you? How many lovers did you have?" Ginny asked quietly, fearful of what his answer might be.
"Not as many as you think." He said, his fingers still rubbing up and down her back. "I did have a long term relationship that lasted for several years."
"How long? Who was she?"
Lucius paused for a moment, deep in thought. "Almost 11 years, I guess. Her name was Marissa, she was American and worked for one of my business acquisitions."
"What happened to her?"
"When it became clear to me that there was a real possibility of the Dark Lord's return, I arranged for her to return to America. It was too late for me, but I didn't want to involve anyone else in this madness. I had already done that to too many people."
"Did you love her."
"Yes. I think I did."
"Why has Draco never mentioned her? He's mentioned Anton."
"He never knew about her." Lucius sighed. "Narcissa and I were very careful to keep that aspect of our lives away from him. We did not think he needed to know until he was older. By the time he was older, she was already long gone, back to America."
They looked up when someone behind them cleared their throat softly. Turning they saw the Maitre d, looking a little nervous. "I am so sorry to disturb you Mr. Malfoy, but we will be closing soon."
Lucius reached into his vest and pulled out his pocket watch. "Look at the time. I had no idea it was so late. No need to apologize Pierre. We should be going. Thank you, it was wonderful as always."
"What time is it?" Ginny asked, slipping her shoes back on and locating her purse.
"It's after one."
Stepping outside, Lucius helped her back on with her cloak. Wrapping his arms around her, he apparated them back to the foyer of Malfoy manor.
"I must apologize. It seems I spent the majority of the evening talking about myself."
"I don't mind." Ginny smiled up at him. "I liked hearing it, I want to get to know you better."
"Well next time, you will have to tell me all about yourself. I insist."
"That shouldn't take long." Ginny chuckled.
"Since it's so late, I would prefer you use the floo for your return trip home. If you still wish to apparate, I would ask to accompany you to see that you make it home safely.
"That's okay, Lucius. I'll just use the floo. Thank you so much. I had a wonderful evening.
He walked with her to the fireplace. "I did too Ginny." Leaning down, he kissed her softly on the forehead.
"Gentlemen?" She whispered.
"Gentlemen." He repeated, watching as she disappeared in a flash of green light.
Ginny walked to her bedroom and quickly changed into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. Yawning, she went into her bathroom and washed her face and cleaned her teeth. She turned off the light and crawled into bed, flashes of the evening replaying through her head. She snatched up her mobile and answered it on the first ring.
"I just wanted to wish you a good night." Lucius deep voice was like a caress.
"You too Lucius. Sweet dreams."
"I'll talk to you soon, Ginny." And he disconnected the call.
