When he pulled his lips away from mine, I just stared. In those few precious seconds, I held Sirius's intense gaze, not because I wanted to keep on staring, but because I could not tear my eyes away from his. My stomach was doing weird somersaults and my skin was really hot and flushed.
I was downright embarrassed but I refused to admit it, especially to Sirius Black.
My throat constricted and I drew in a sharp intake of breath to calm myself. This was so not happening.
"W-what did you do that for?" I stammered, half giddy with relief when I managed to find my voice.
"Mmm, that shut you up, didn't it?" Sirius smiled infuriatingly at me. That stupid, suave bastard.
"It sure did, in case you didn't realize your lips were totally pressing into mine."
But then, Sirius became serious. (Pardon the bad pun, it just cracks me up every time.)
He ran a hand through his hair. "Gee, I don't know what use sorry would be, but I'm still sorry." He broke into a grin, his pearly whites shining at me.
For the second time that night, I stared at him. This time, I was fighting really hard to stop the smile that was threatening to turn the corners of my lips upwards. For someone who spoke honeyed words so naturally, it was a really lame apology.
But I guess he is Sirius Black after all.
"You know what, I just need to sleep," sighing; I smiled wanly, knowing my battle was lost.
"Night." I did not really feel like contradicting my turbulent feelings, so I refrained from saying 'Good night' because I felt far from good.
"What?" Sirius looked a bit surprised at my abruptness. "I was hoping since I did a no show today… we could go try out your animagus tomorrow."
I was still mighty angry at being taken for granted. After all, this wasn't the first time. A surge of anger ran through me and my voice hardened. "No thanks, I wouldn't want to go anywhere with a dog." I tried to make it seem like a joke by smiling forcefully, but it ended up looking like an ugly grimace.
"Oh, some other time then." His eyes drooped and he looked real sad… Like a poor, melancholic puppy with really big chocolate eyes, you've just got to help it! Arghhhhh!
Just kidding.
"Hey, Sirius, get out of my way. You're standing between me and sleep." I complained grumpily.
"Well, whatever. Good night, my darling!" Oblivious to all the cold stares and curt sentences I had been giving him, he scooped me into a big bear hug. "Sweet dreams," he whispered in my ear.
"Yea, yea, yea. Any sweeter and I would be diabetic." Muttering sarcastically, I trudged up the stairs and soon, collapsed on my bed.
But then, when I was all alone, I realized my thoughts were so much louder.
Why did weird things always happen to me?
SIRIUS KISSED ME DAMN IT! EW!
I started screaming face down into my pillow. When I finally sat up, I rubbed my lips self-consciously and my face scrunched up in horror before I started screaming into my pillow again.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEW.
Sirius made me seriously (bad pun, again) maddddddd!
STUPID, SUAVE BASTARD!!
A/N: Ahhhh, it's been months, even years. Don't mind me; I'm struggling along with school… But I'll try my best to update. Thanks for all those reviews, much loved!
Holidays are approaching and I'm re-reading my harry potter books, so it can only mean good news, I think! Again, I'm really really sorry for this lousy and short chapter.
FYI: If you noticed, chapters shall be written in Jolene Carter's point of view unless otherwise stated.
