Chapter 2
"Who is it?" the brunette asked, seeming smug at the distress on lily's face. "A friend" Lily replied promptly. "And now we'll be going upstairs to catch up." At this, she grabbed the crook of my elbow and dragged me up the stairs. I caught merely a glimpse of her house before she had roughly pushed me onto her bed. "Whoa there Evans, feeling feisty today?" I smirked as her eyes narrowed dangerously. " Why. Are. You. Here." her clipped tone made my smirk grow wider. "Why, I wanted to see my darling little Lily Flower, course."
She pinched the bridge of her nose, something she did fairly often when in my vicinity, and exhaled. Her eyes opened and I noticed the blaze within them had cooled. Good. I wouldn't need any stiches today then. Her face now held a calculating look, and at this my palms began to sweat. With a certain grace only she could behold, she dropped onto the bed next to me. Slipping her slender arm around my neck, she cooed "I've missed you." Now this was interesting. Obviously she was fibbing, and out to get me. I'd go along with it, just to humor her. As long as her plan did not involve dragons. Then I'd flee. Asap.
"You did?"
"umm hmmmm" she replies, her lips now tracing my jaw. Merlin, I can't think straight if she continues to that. Her slim fingers glide up my face, light as a feather. Her lips now tease me, at the corner of my mouth. "I've been waiting since school let out. I've been… wanting to take you somewhere…as my date." Her whisper blows across my face, as I take in what she's just said. "WHAT?" she jumps back slightly, and shifts farther away from me as she answers, looking anywhere but at me. "There's this party. And there's this one bloke who keep bothering me, so unless I bring a date.." she trails off, looking hopeful. Curse those big, doelike green eyes. Just because she give me, that, that look, she thinks I'll succumb to whatever she wants. As if I mentally scoff. James Potter answers to no one! So why did I hear myself agreeing?
