Good Enough - Truth and Betrayal - Chapter 2
Author's notes: Hello, everyone! How's it going? Long time no writing at all. I am sorry to all those people that read the story a while ago that it took me so long to write and upload the second chapter. School was hectic at a time, but since I graduated last week, I thought to myself - Hey! Why not take up the story once again? I had planned to pass this story on to someone else and there were a couple of people that messaged me interested in it, but I never heard of them again.
I took me a while to remember my details and what I wanted to do. Now I need to get used to the story once again. Hopefully, I will have more chapters ready sooner than expected - for certain it won't take months for the next one… of that I'm sure. I wanna thank all the people that reviewed this story… and I had taken many people's advice on using quotations. I hope everyone likes this chapter, and please keep on reading and reviewing as I love when people let me know what they love about my work and what I can improve.

Previously on Good Enough…
"As I was saying… Luna and I have been going out for a time now, and well we… recently decided that we would be taking the next step together."
All of them were celebrating, until Hermione felt all of them were a bit too drunk, shagging in a public place, that's how far Harry went, or was it Andrea's fault? Hermione felt her heart aching for each time she heard their moaning, as tears welled up in her eyes until she couldn't hold her tears anymore.

Finally, they left Andrea home and went back to theirs. Harry and Hermione were blootered. The right strap of her knee-length dress was coming off of her shoulder, as Harry closed their door and stopped to look at her. He unconsciously licked his lips and started walking towards his bedroom, on Hermione's direction. She shifted a bit, she saw him licking his lips and she felt a tight knot forming in her belly.
Harry was coming her way; he was closer and closer, when all of a sudden he passed her. He was walking towards his bedroom. Hermione released a breath she wasn't aware she was holding. She moistened her lips, lingering her tongue and blinking, when Harry touched her strapless shoulder and whispered her name.
She turned around, encountering Harry right in front of her. Surprised, she almost fell backwards, but he held her in place.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa… take it easy." He said amused. "I just wanted to say goodnight, Mione..." He said softly.
"Goodnight, Harry…" She answered back.
But none of them let go. They stayed there, Harry wrapping his arm around her waist, as her hands rested on his chest. The buttons of Harry's shirt were partially unbuttoned. Both closed their eyes and took each other's scent, although combined with alcohol, they could still sense it. All of a sudden, Harry closed the gap between their faces and kissed her fully on the lips. Hermione was taken aback, but immediately corresponded.
Their hands started roaming, exploring each other's bodies. Part of Hermione was screaming to not do it, but the other part could not resist. The alcohol in her body made everything so simple, there were no inhibitions, and Harry seemed to not care at all. They both wanted it to happen. Harry spun her around and started pushing her towards the bedrooms, until BAM! Hermione's back hit the wall, but they didn't care. They were losing patience now, as Harry started grinding against her, trailing open-mouthed kissed from her lips to her jaw to her neck and bare shoulders.
The room was silent, the only noise in the ambience was the sound of lustful passion, heaving and moaning from both male and female. Hermione was not herself and she wrapped her legs around his waist, her dress covering little of her lower body, which made Harry go crazy. He carried her and moved swiftly into her bedroom and SLAM!
Hermione woke up, heaving, all sweaty, wrapped in her blankets, alone. Where is Harry? Not here obviously answered a voice inside of her. Was it all a dream? If it was, it was a pretty vivid dream or a really faint memory. Must've been a dream, there was no trace of Harry being in her room. She sighed and closed her eyes as she licked her lips. It's been the third time this week, dreaming about being with Harry, but this time the line between fantasy and reality was even thinner. After a few minutes lying in bed, she put on her robe and went out to prepare some coffee.
Harry jumped slightly as Hermione opened her door. He stood there for a while just studying her reaction. Quickly he gave her a quick smile.
"Good morning, Mione. Fancy some coffee?" He said holding her mug.
"Thank you, Harry." She said sweetly. "What a night yesterday, eh?"
"Er… yes," He said shifting his eyes and avoiding her look.
"You should remind me next time not to drink as much, everything is a blur!"
"It is? - He added with doubtful tone."
He gave her freshly made coffee and sat in front of her, as she drank it just like a kid drinking hot cocoa. She gave him a quizzical look, and put him out of his trance.
"Harry! What is it? Stop staring at me like that!"
"I'm sorry, Mione… is just that-"Should he say it? No… "I promise I won't let you drink like that again…" Harry said earnestly.
This earned him a slight smile from her. They finished brunch together, and soon their lives went back to normal, or so they thought.
A knock on the door.
"Coming!"
Hermione said coming out of the bathroom. She had just finished taking a shower and only wearing a towel when she stormed off to answer the door, as someone kept on knocking it.
"COMING!"
Knock, knock, knock.
"I said I'm COMING!"
Hermione opened the door to find Andrea.
"Andrea!" She said surprised. "What (the hell) are you doing here?" She added with an insecure tone in her voice.
"Just dropping by to see my lover boy," she answered with a smug smile on her face.
"Oh… of course…" Hermione said as-a-matter-of-factly.
"Where is he anyways?" Andrea asked giving Hermione an up-and-down look.
"He is I believe still in his bed-"
All of a sudden, Harry opened the door of his room, still half asleep and half awake, he yawned.
"Good morning, babe," Andrea said approaching him and giving him a deep kiss on the lips.
Harry broke the kiss and pulled away.
"Andrea, honey, I stink…"
"You know I like you just the way you are, Mr. I-Wanna-Eat-You," she said kissing him deeply once again on the lips.
Harry gave in and kissed her back, as Hermione rolled her eyes. She had forgotten she was just wearing a towel, until Harry opened his eyes while kissing Andrea and looked straight into Hermione's brown eyes. She could feel him devouring her bit by bit with his intense deep green gaze pierced through to her, until Andrea moved to kiss him deeper and Hermione lost his eyes contact. Did we have a moment there? Forget it, Hermione… She went back to the bathroom.
Later that day, Hermione dropped by Tim's hospital. For being a doctor, he was still considered quite a newbie, but he was good at his practice and was respected among other doctors and staff. He usually worked overtime, he didn't mind it and Hermione certainly didn't mind it because he was helping others.
Hermione was looking around for Tim, when she finally spotted him talking to Greg, a tall skinny guy with chiselled facial features, and shaved head. They were chatting nonchalantly when Hermione stepped in front of Tim and kissed him.
"Hermione… not here…" Tim said blushing a little bit, and looking as if he could die of embarrassment over this.
"Am I not allowed to kiss my boyfriend now?" She said a little surprised.
"You know is not that..." He said touching her chin.
For a moment there, Hermione felt there was a little bit of hesitation in his voice. However, she wasn't entirely sure as it would be a whole new side of Tim for her.

"You're an arse! How could you do something like that to me? YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MY FRIEND!"
"Friends don't sleep together!"
"And friends don't lie to each other!"
