Hey ... Thanks for all the reviews. I hope you guys enjoy my story ..

Chapter 2

James..

James...

James...

I suddenly woke up as I heard my cell ring. It was Brad .. I could have sworn the ringtone sounded like 'James... James...James'

Or maybe it was just me..!

" What?" I answered.

"James is leaving. In 5 minutes."

"WHAT?"

"Yeah! Today's the 22 nd you fool!"

" Omg.." I squeaked

"If you hurry up you can still say bye to him." said Brad in a tone which clearly suggested that I SHOULDN'T do so

Well.. Brad hated James. Not hated exactly, they were friends. Whenever I was with the two of them , they looked friendly enough to me. But Brad was my Best Friend, kind of like my older brother. So he was sort of.. Okay, VERY protective.

He had warned me that James Potter was dangerous. I didn't listen to him and got what I deserved. James left me for some other girl. I know I should have listened to Brad.

But Brad doesn't know ... He doesn't know what happened yesterday...

"Well! Too late. He just left. Anyway , I've got to go now. I'll talk to you later, okay?"

" Ok" I said trying my best to hide my disappointment.

Oh no, Oh no..

I could feel a lump forming in my throat. He's gone. Omg.. I didn't say bye. Omg.. What have I done?

Flashback

"Hey! My parents have gone out. You are leaving tomorrow and I really want us to talk." I said on the phone trying not to sound too desperate.

" I'm going to Jason's place for dinner. Can't we talk on the phone?"

"No, I can't. I have to meet you for this."

"I'll call you back in a while." he said

2 mins...

5 mins...

10 mins...

Oh! I can't stand this anymore, I thought as I furiously dialled him.

" Where are you?" I nearly yelled

There was a pause and I heard him speak cautiously as he was talking to a deranged person

" I'm at Jason's place. I'll call you tommorow."

Who the hell does he think he is? I'm not going to see him tommorow. Oh no, I won't ! That'll serve him right. Bloody arrogant berk!

I grabbed my cell and furiously texted him

' I dunno why you didn't come. I really wanted to talk. It was sort of imp for me. Anyway, all the best. Don't bother staying in touch since hopefully we'll never meet again.'

Good.

Flashback over

I blinked back my tears furiously and got up from my bed. Nicky, I need her!

" Hello?"I heard her voice and already felt myself calming down

Or maybe not..

" Nicky. He's left." I sobbed

"Oh, baby! Forget him. I know how it feels."

"I didn't say bye. Omg... He's gone.I'll never see him again." I whispered

" Who knows? Maybe you will." she said reassuringly.

"Yeah right! Maybe after 10 years!" I said bitterly, tears rolling down my cheeks at an alarmingly fast rate.

"Haha! 10 years later, you'll be like the hottest neurosurgeon in the country!"

" You think so?" I sobbed

"I know so, love! Besides, he'll probably be FAT! " she said laughing

"Or bald.." I said, a smile forming on my lips

"Or worse.. Fat, bald and married!" she said

"Ewww. I bet he'll marry some boring, old hag!" I giggled

"Oh, yeah! She'll be a total cow! So forget him, k Lils?"

"Yea.. Thanks Nicky. I love you."

"Love you too."

God! I loved her. I'm sooo lucky to have her in my life. So what if James Potter was the most perfect, charming, hilarious, intelligent, sexy guy I've ever met and I'll never get to be with him?

K. That somehow didn't make me feel better.

No, this should not affect me. Nicky 's right. I have a lot to achieve in life.I closed my eyes as I saw his face in my mind, his beautiful features still crystal clear .. Goodbye James Potter...


10 years later..

"Yes mum! Please.. Okay, I will. I promise. What? No! Don't start that again, please? K! I love you. Byee"

I rolled my eyes as I checked my reflection in the mirror.

" Marriage talk?" asked Nicky

" Yeah! You know how she is Nicky!" I sighed as I sat on the sofa beside her.

" Well. She's being unreasonable. I mean, look at you. You are only 27 and you are the hottest neurosurgeon in the country! " she said

" Aww.. " see! Sometimes when she talks like that I wonder why I don't just marry HER!

I hugged her and said sadly,

" But now you'll leave me too."

"Awww... Lils." she said as she hugged me back. I gazed at her sapphire and diamond Tiffany's ring which was flashing in front of my eyes as she patted my arm.

"You'll go with rss and live in some posh flat! I hate you ." I said and got up , wearing my Burberry trench coat.

Nicky didn't reply. Well.. It was going to happen . There was no point denying it. Sir Richard Stuart the Second.. rss.. I hated that bloke! How dare he propose to Nicky so soon? K, though I had sort of hooked them up , I never could have imagined that they'll end up marrying each other.

I mean.. Nicky's SHORT! She's like a tiny little pixie! Barely 5'5 ! Though she's like totally hot. She's got beautiful blond curls and the most mesmerizing steel grey eyes in the world.

rss, on the other hand is .. TALL. Like 6 feet 3 inches tall! He's got straight, spiky brown hair and electric blue eyes. They look sort of funny together. I mean they both are hot!

But together..

I scrunched up my nose as I saw them in my mind, walking down the aisle.

" Lils! Stop thinking about how ridiculous me and rss will look like when we walk down the aisle or whatever it is you are thinking of!"

Wtf? That was creepy.

"I wasn't . I was thinking about.. One of my patients." I said as I checked my watch. Tag Huer , birthday gift from mum and dad!

Bugger! I was late!


" Taxi!"

There. I got in and shut the door.

"Hey! I got in first." I heard a deep voice beside me.

Not again. I hated it when this happened.

I turned to look at him, cursing under my breath.

Oh no, oh no, oh no

Thud.. Thud ... Thud..

My heart was beating faster as I gaped at him. The rhythm of my heart beat was far too familiar.. Even though the last time it had beaten like that was 10 years ago...

Omg! What do I do? Why isn't he reacting? Okay , we both were staring at each other. Now what?

" You 'fellas need a ride or not?"

said the taxi driver

" Starbucks." I heard him say, not really registering his words.

All I could think at that moment was..

Wow...

K. He WASN'T fat! His 17 year old self was lean and skinny. Now.. Mmmm.. I could clearly see his broad shoulders, his slim torso and the curve of his muscles on those well toned arms even though they were all hidden beneath a ? Ooh..nice!

" Lily..?" he asked

Wow. K! He WASN'T bald either. His hair looked even better now. The glorious jet black locks falling into his gorgrous hazel was perfect. If he looked good when he was 17, now he looked nothing less than Adonis!

"Hi James.." I said finally
