A/N: So, I don't know if any of you are country fans; but there is a fantastic song called 'Why Ya Wanna' by Jana Kramer. If I were you I would go listen to it on youtube, because it was the inspiration for this fanfic. :)
"All right Katherine?" A tinkly voice chimed in the unsuspecting girls' ear. Startled, she glanced around until her eyes fell on the owner of the little restaurant she was standing in. She gave her a small smile.
"Sorry Jacquie," the girl said meekly. "I'm just knackered." Jacquie frowned slightly, and Katherine made sure to give her a bigger smile so Jacquie would know she was okay. Katherine turned to help another customer who had entered while she was paying attention. After taking their order, she turned around to fix them a spot of tea. She sighed slightly as she heard the chiming of a bell; signaling someone had just entered the restaurant. As Katherine turned around, her eyes locked on the bloke who had just walked through the door. She barely registered the mug slipping from her hands and falling towards the floor with a loud crash.
"Blimey Katherine," Jacquie came as she heard the crash.
"Shite," Katherine swore slightly. "Sorry, Jacquie. It just slipped." Jacquie looked at her and Katherine felt her face flush. Bloody hell, she thought to herself. He just had to come to THIS restaurant at THIS time of the day. She sighed and stood back up. After apologizing to the girl, she turned around to make more tea.
"This wouldn't have anything to do with the bloke that just walked in would it?" Katherine felt her face heat up. Ignoring the older women's question she turned around and handed the girl her mug of tea. Glancing up her eyes locked with bright blue eyes and she cursed herself for looking. Glancing at him brought back the very memory she had tried to forget.
"So, were you lying when you told me you loved me? Was that all a lie?" The young girl bit back tears as she chocked on her words. The boy looked offended.
"Of course not,"
"Sure seems that way, after half a year of flirting with me, and over half a year of dating...you're saying goodbye?" she was impressed no tears had fallen yet. Except she knew why they hadn't yet. She wouldn't give him the satisfaction of watching her fall to pieces over him.
"I still love you Katherine." The way he said it, so full of truth, Katherine felt her resolve failing her. But she shook her head.
"Then why are you saying goodbye! Is it because I still have one more year of Hogwarts left?" He didn't say anything, and his silence gave Katherine the answer she needed. "That's it, isn't it. Bloody hell, it is! You want to go off and not be tied down to some bird still in school."
"That's not it Katherine, and you know it." Katherine rolled her eyes.
"Whatever. Your such an arsehole James Potter. Go to hell." With that Katherine stomped out of the room.
"How can I help you?" Katherine said as James Potter II stepped up to the counter. She chanced a glance him a gulped slightly. He looked bloody fit! He had gotten more muscle on him now, if that was even possible. He was wearing a light blue t shirt that was faded from being worn so many times. Blimey, that was her favorite shirt he had. She felt her face turn red as he smiled.
"The special," James ran his hand through his hair. The action sent butterflies up her stomach. Stop it, she scolded herself, you're not sixteen anymore. She turned around to fix it and her stomach clenched when she heard the next words out of his mouth.
"You look even more beautiful than I remember." Had she not been so sure of his voice, she would never have believed it. Her face turned even more red as she turned back around.
"Thanks." She said quietly.
"Can I ring you up sometime?" He asked after he had handed over the money.
Katherine looked at him, her mouth slightly open. She knew what the answer should have been. So when she opened her mouth, she was more than a little surprised to find an "of course," slip out of it. James smiled and walked around the counter, bloody hell, she thought. He stretched his arms out, and enveloped Katherine in a hug, after a moment she wrapped her slim arms around his waist. He pulled away, and Katherine was shocked that she more than slightly missed his embrace.
"I'll be seeing you," he said quietly before turning around and walking away.
It was later in the evening when James Potter reached into his pocket and felt a folded up piece of paper. He smirked as he read the words written on the paper: 'It won't change a thing.' Well, he'd show her.
