Strangers in the night
Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night
Up to the moment when we said our first hello little did we know
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away
and
Ever since that night we've been together
Lovers at first sight, in love forever
It turned out so right for strangers in the night
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away
Lilly gasped when the cold air hit her, they were standing outside. James carefully closed the door behind them. Everything was covered with white frost, and the moonlight made it sparkle.
"James." She whispered, "You didn't tell me I slept trough the rest of the autumn."
"You didn't, but when you weren't here to enjoy it there wasn't any reason for it to stay," he whispered in her ear with a soft voice.
"That's sweet." She turned her head to look at him and smiled.
"You probably hear things like that all the time. Alex says Tom's a real romantic," James said as the walked away from the castle.
"To tell you the truth," she said almost embarrassed, "he isn't, not to me at least."
"He isn't? You deserve better." James pulled off the cloak.
"You mean I deserve you."
"You deserve someone romantic, someone that trusts you, someone that loves you, all of you; your temper, your mood swings, your laugh, your smile, your voice, someone you don't have to lie to. Some one you love."
"James, I don't think 16 year olds love anyone; not really love." Lilly started to walk around stretching her legs.
"Do you know what love is Lill?" He walked up next to her.
"No, and I don't think you know either," she said, stretching her arms over her head.
"I don't know what love is, but I'm starting to get a pretty good idea. I think love is when the person walks in to the room and your heart starts to beat faster. When just looking at her makes you want to wrap her up in your arms, listening to her breathing. Just wanting to be near her seeing her as often as possible, even if that means being beaten up. Everything I feel for you Lill." He took her hand as they walked.
"Today maybe, but what about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow," he looked in to her frightened green eyes. "I'll love you just as much as yesterday, if not even more." She turned away from him and kept walking.
"You're so sweet I almost want to believe you." James grabbed her arm and drew her close.
"Why don't you Lill? I mean it with all my heart."
"James, I've seen you break half the female hearts in this school; if I give you mine you'll get bored and destroy it."
"I'll never break your hart, I'll never get bored with you. I'll never ever hurt you."
"You know, you're making it really hard for me to cling to the part of me who wants to hate you."
"Personally I think that's a good thing." He kissed her cheek and let her go."
"James, you can have most the girls here, why settle with me? You can have the prettiest girls in school. What do you want with little, not so pretty, can't even get the boys to notice me, Lillian Evens?"
You are the prettiest girl in school. And the boys do notice you, they are just afraid. Too much brain, too much pure classic beauty." Lilly turned away, and James knew why; she was blushing. James had never made her blush before, in anything else than anger.
"You're like this to all the girls, aren't you?" Lilly stopped and looked out over the lake. She didn't want to look at James; she just wanted to get her self-control back. James was breaking down her trust in that being with Tom was right for her, and she hated it.
James could se she was shivering; suddenly he remembered she wasn't wearing her winter cloak, only a thin one.
"No, I'm not like this to all the girls." No reaction. "Are you cold?"
"A bit." Before she had time to think she felt the warm soft material of James' cloak around her shoulders.
"There, don't want you to catch a cold now."
If I have your cloak, you'll get cold."
"I'll be fine." He started to hum. She couldn't help singing, James was surprised, Lilly's voice was sweet, careful, but somewhere in there was the potential to be great, strong.
"May I have the pleasure of this dance?" James took her hand.
"Certainly." She could feel his arm around her waist, pulling her close. He looked into her eyes, people says the eyes are the windows to the soul. But that couldn't be right, she hadn't changed her mind about him while she was asleep. They were warm, loving, open, for a moment he thought he'd be forever lost in these eyes. They were probably the eyes she looked at the world with, the eyes that meet her friends, professors and anyone she didn't fight with every day. But now the moon reflected in her eyes, there was a smile on her lips and the cold made her cheeks rosy. He kissed one of her cold cheeks. He looked over her face. Except from her rosy cheeks she was pale, and there were dark shadows under her eyes.
Lilly didn't know why, but the kiss left a tingling feeling on her skin. She couldn't look at him.
"Lill," he put his hand under her chin and maid her look at him. "I'll never break your heart, trust me." Lilly was about to tell James that he probably would, when something cold hit her face. She looked up. Snow, it was snowing, beautiful white crystals falling from the sky.
"It's snowing!" she said exited.
"Yes." He brushed some snowflakes away from her hair. "Let's get inside." She smiled and nodded.
A/N: I'M BACK!! So, what do you think? I think they are getting some way, or maybe not. I'm not really sure….
