I own nothing.
Prompts: gingerbread (possibility; linger; tree)
Pairing/character: JamesII
I looked at the Christmas tree in the middle of the living room. Yes, in the middle of the living room! I thought of putting it in the left corner, where it would stay good, and kind of hidden. But no… "What a lack of originality!" said Nelly, making those puppy eyes and pouting, the way she does so good. So I put it where she wanted it.
Lily did warn me how Nelly liked things differently, because Nelly was different herself, special. With a single look of those blue bright eyes, she could make a man go mad. That´s what had happen to me. One day, Lily is bringing her Auror mentor for dinner, and the next I´m kneeling in front of that same Auror mentor, who I thought would be some old, cranky woman, asking her to marry me.
I never thought I would be making gingerbread cookies in a Sunday morning, just because they were her favorites. The truth is…I never thought I could be this happy and that every time I see her smile I never want her to stop doing it, every time I see her cry, I want to make it better somehow. I never gave anyone the possibility to enter my life, my heart, not truly. But this time it´s different, I´m in love.
I looked one more time to the Christmas tree. I smiled; I guess it does look good in the middle of the room.
Please review :)
