***

Well, lunch with Blake was actually a lot of fun and just what I needed, he's such a great guy. I'm actually really happy I decided to come to the States no matter the events that have been currently taking place. But yes… those … events… were discussed with Blake. It's odd, I never was able to talk to Dad about boy problems, but with Blake it's a lot easier and he actually has good insight having known James since he was in diapers. But yes, it has been decided that I should apologize to James for what I said and hope he'll forgive me. And according to Blake that should be a given, James is a softie at heart (though I still have trouble believing that…) so he should in theory let bygones be bygones.

But here goes nothing!

I walked into the door expecting another scuffle between the boys to be taking place. Blake had some urgent duty in the Auror Department, see he's actually really high up on the scale… the head of all Auror branches in the Americas actually. So he was called into work constantly.

That's beside the point however. The two boys weren't there… only a little note in James's scribbled handwriting.

Off to the beach, be back later.

Oh, well, then I'll apologize later. I shrugged it off and got ready myself, it was around 5 and the sun would still be up for a while, and I wanted to catch at least a few more rays of sunshine before the day was out.

I had barely stepped onto the beach when I heard an excited voicing calling me over. Glancing around I saw a small blonde in a neon pink bikini jumping up and down in the distance. I laughed, knowing it had to be Lee. I haven't talked to that girl since yesterday and it already feels like its been ages.

As I got closer I instantly regretted not turning back the second I stepped onto the beach. Because of course there was Sirius, flirting with a grinning Lee. And where there was Sirius there was James and vice versa. No matter what they were doing or where the were.

"Hey hun!" Lee cried, happily giving her a hug.

"Hey Lovely." Lily grinned.

The bright Asian girl's eyes widened with excitement, "Oh you're a clever one! I haven't heard that combo yet!"

Sirius looked a little confused, "Evans you're a dyke?"

"Psh, as if, Lily dearest can wrap a guy 'round her fingah in a sec, but my middle names Love so Love-Lee! Get it?" she asked excitedly.

Gosh it seems like that girl never runs out of energy, I'd love to see Sirius try to keep up with her.

"Er, Sirius… can you tell me where James is?" I asked quietly when Lee was distracted by one thing or another… most likely a something shiny, or a cute lifeguard…

He looked a bit taken aback, "Did you just call me by my first names Evans?"

"Er.. Yes?"

He rolled his eyes, "Your not asking just to tell him how much a prick he is just so your cold heart can crush his spirits even more?"

I couldn't help the hurt from appearing from my eyes, " am I really that horrid of a person?" I asked in a small voice the emotions of this morning rushing back to me as I tried my hardest to fight them off.

Sirius did not notice, or choose not to, the pained look on my face, "Yeah, I'd say you are."

"Well, I just wanted to apologize for what I said." I mumbled having managed to stop the emotions that started bubbling up inside of me. Really I needed to get a grip on myself, I couldn't become an emotional wreck every time James was even mentioned.

This time Sirius took pity on me, "Yeah, he's over there, Sam's teaching him how to surf… though I think the bloke is cheating with magic." He tried lightening the situation as Lee came back from her flirt session with the lifeguard at chair number 14.

"Get his number?" I grinned, having learned most of her habits after only a day.

She grinned, "Naturally!" and proceeded to drag a stunned Sirius. Oh yes, that boy has just met his match.

Ok now this was ridiculous, I head been waiting here for 20 minutes while James and Sam took their sweet time talking to all the girls who had congregated around to watch the two 'hotties' surf.

Damn them and their gorgeous bodies.

Oh woah. What? Now Sam… he's a beast, I'll be the first… and was the first… to call him the God of all that is Sexy. But Potter… so what if years of playing quid ditch had sculpted his lanky skinniness from 1st year into a muscled Adonis with droplets of water teasingly running down those perfect abs as if saying 'oh you know you wish this was you' and that his hair took on a sexy messy when wet, not its usually annoying I'm-gonna-run-a-hand-through-my-hair-because-I-can look. Not to mention the adorable exhilaration his hazel eyes held after riding a particularly rough wave to shore.

Ok. fine. He can be a disciple in this new religion of mine.

Finally Sam noticed me, making my heart jump into my throat and my stomach drop, god this boy was gorgeous.

"Lily! How's life been without me?" He grinned wrapping an arm around me, muscles flexing. James gave me a pointed look before going to flirt with some girl.

Oh someone was gonna get their eyes gauged out. Stupid whore, taking away his attention while I actually had some thing important to talk to him about and not which breast looked bigger. Did these American girls have no tact?

Sam laughed, most likely at the dirty look I was sending the busty dirty blonde who had started cowering slightly.

"Jealous are we?"

I blinked, breaking my glare, "Excuse me?" I laughed. I was not jealous of that overly pretty slut with her D cups compared to my barely Bs.

Sam just laughed once more, "It's ok you're much prettier than Amber, only thing that she can get a guy with is her boobs. You hun, you got brains."

I smiled at the sweetheart, I swear he was perfect boyfriend material, "Thanks, you're not to bad yourself."

"I try babe, I try." he replied, swaying his hips a little and he strutted around me, causing me too giggle. Then a tap on my shoulder distracted my with my flirting with Sam. I turned to see James's annoyed eyed, a bit of jealously flashed through them, making my heart flutter. He still cared.

"Is there anything in particular you wanted?" he asked, voice cold.

Ok… so he cared… he was just reallllllyyyy angry. Yeah… not good, he only ever used that tone with Severus, and we all know what goes on between those two boys. EW NOT IN THAT WAY!

"Uh could we talk in private?" I mumbled; shaking my head free of my random thoughts, my hands playing nervously with one of my bikini ties, eyes glancing at all the girls intently listening in on our conversation.

"So that you tell me how much an asshole u think I really am?" he asked scathingly.

"To apologize." I sighed quietly, so that none of the nosy floozies would hear.

James looked surprised to say the least, "Er, ok, take a walk with me I guess…" he was honest to goodness surprised that I was going to apologize to him, the second time that day none the less. We quickly left the group, the girls quickly moving onto Sam.

"So umm…" James trailed off. I have never seen him so unsure, he didn't know what to expect from me right now, I could easily bitch him out and leave him broken on the beach.

"I'm just really sorry I blew up at you like that James, I really had no right and I completely over-reacted, especially after you had been so sweet last night."

"Well, it was kinda Padfoot's faults, he's the one who took it out of context." he tried rationalizing.

"But still, I'm not actually that horrible of a person am I?" I asked quietly, fearing the worst. Again this boy surprised me.

"Do you honestly think that badly of yourself?"

I gave him a small nod. I mean I wasn't a Petunia, but I was pretty bad, I mean look how much I had hurt him! I'm insensitive, have no sense of humor, overly studious, horrible temper, and not that pretty. I'm no troll but compared to girls like Amber I fade out of view.

He laughed out loud at that one, "Lils, your witty and sarcastic, your gorgeous and more unique than any girl I've ever met, your responsible and smart, and most of all your just you. No questions asked, you'll help those in need, no matter how much they do or don't deserve it, you're always looking out for your friends, and always stand out. Not just because of your hair either, it because you just have a presence that draws others. They know they can trust you, they know they can like you."

I stared at him, eyes open wide, I'd never been under such an onslaught of compliments. He really did like me didn't he.

"I never knew you though so highly of me…" I replied to his little speech, being speechless myself.

"Did you think my feeling for you were that shallow?"

"I don't know…"

"Lily wanna-"

My breathing hitched, oh no, James don't do it. I'm not gonna say yes, I can't possible say, don't make me hurt you anymore than I already have…

"-be friends?"

"N- What? Oh, um yeah!"

He laughed at my confusion as if he knew what I had been expecting, without warning he gave me a peck on the cheek, a hug, and run off to the gaggle of girls. I can't say I was completely sure what just happened.

***

Ok first of all, the Love Lee thing was totally unplanned, I only realized that once I was writing it, but yes, Love had more of a role then just some random amusement. Also hopefully that sums up the drama between James and Lily, for now of course… but the upscale hardcore stuff is done haha and hopefully to your satisfaction, this chapters kinda short… AGAIN (ONLY 5 PAGES?!?!?), but idk it just fit to end it there, next chapter will be more for just amusement and there will be a really big discovery, I tried giving some clues in this one and I hope it wasn't too obvious. OH and if anyone was expecting Jesus to come back… well he's pretty much dead, though I'm playing with the idea of Amber, just a few clues for future chapters!

Thanks! You have no idea how special your reviews make me feel! Especially cuz I kinda hate my really spaced out writing, but it just makes more sense to have it be spaced out and stuff… idk… but again thanks!!
