Last Time:
James didn't notice her looking at him, and slipped his shirt on. He walked over to Lily, and sat down on the couch by her. Lily smiled at him, and he smiled back at her. Maybe she would say she loved him too…he sure hoped so. He would die from embarrassment if she said that she wanted nothing to do with him, and he had confessed his love.
Only time would tell!
Present:
"How about we go somewhere Lils?"
"Ok sure James. Want to go to Hogsmeade?"
"Yes."
Lily lays her book down on the couch and slowly stands up. She makes her way out of the common room with James right behind her. They walk through the corridor, and make their way outside. Lily looks over at James, and smiles to herself.
Maybe he is the right guy?
Lily was so confused. Everything was happening so fast. She wasn't sure what was going on anymore. Should she go out with him or should she reject him once again? She wasn't sure. He was acting so different this year….
Why now all of a sudden?
He was trying to mess with her mind. Yep, that explained it all.
They make their way to Hogsmeade, not talking at all. Lily just walks, thinking about the big decision she has to make. James will be crushed if she rejects him, but if she says yes, she has to really like him.
She would sit up all night tonight if she had to, to figure this all out. She would have an answer as soon as James woke up, and she saw him. They went into The Three Broomsticks.
Madam Rosmerta smiled at the two as they walked inside and ordered two butterbeers.
"Mr. Potter and Ms. Evans…didn't except to see the two of you together any time soon."
"Well…Uhhh…."
"Lily and I aren't together."
"What a shame. You two would be a perfect couple."
"Thanks. Come on Lily."
James leads the way over to a table after paying for their drinks. Lily sits down opposite him, and they sit in silence and drink their butterbeer. Lily keeps glancing at James over her glass. They finish up the drinks, and say goodbye to Madam Rosmerta.
They walk outside, and wander around, and go into a couple shops. They browse, and Lily gets some candy at Honeydukes. She grabs a bag full of candy, and pays for it. James holds open the door for her, and she walks outside. They make their way back to Hogwarts. She sucks on a piece of chocolate, and offers James the bag. He grabs a couple pieces and they walk in silence.
When they are almost to the castle Lily decides to ask James a question….
"James?"
"Yes Lily pet."
"I was wondering…why are you so infatuated with me? You have almost every other girl at your feet…yet you chose me, who has never liked you before."
James stops walking, grabs Lily's hands, and looks her right in the eye. He grins at her.
"I have liked you ever since that first time I saw you on Platform 9 and ¾, looking lost and confused. You were gorgeous back then, and you've gotten even more gorgeous as you've gotten older. You were my first kiss. You were the only one that ever turned me down. You were the person that made me want to get up every morning, and live it to the fullest. You were the only person I was ever in love with."
"Oh James."
James looks away and Lily could feel her heart tugging inside her chest.
"Then why did you push me away? You broke my heart hard and fast. I had fallen for you, and you just tossed me away like I didn't matter. You were my first kiss and love, and you just got rid of me."
"I'm sorry Lily. I never meant to hurt you or push you away. I was scared though. When I kissed you that first time I felt so much chemistry…and it freaked me out. You were so reserved back then. I thought that I was the only one that felt that, so I decided to forget about it, and move on, but I couldn't. I was in love, and I have been ever since I first saw you. I never fell out of love with you Lily Evans. I love you with every fiber in my body."
Lily glances into James' eyes, and she makes her mind up and stands on her tippy toes and kisses him softly on the lips.
Lily pulls away, and James's eyes are twinkling and he has a huge grin on his face.
"What was that for?"
"I love you too James Ryan Potter."
James smiles from ear to ear.
"Does this mean you will be my girlfriend Lillian Makaya Evans?"
Lily nodded her head, and smiled, "Yes James…I will be your girlfriend."
James lifts Lily up, and twirls her around, and kisses her softly on the lips. Lily wraps her legs around his waist, and her arms around his neck. James place his arms around her waist, and he stands there holding Lily, and kissing her for a long time.
Lily pulls away, and catches her breath. James begins kissing her neck. Lily plays with his hair, and tugs on it lightly. James pulls away, and looks into her eyes.
"Lily?"
"Yes James?"
"Why did you change your mind all of a sudden?"
"Well…once I heard you say that you loved me, that was all I needed to know."
Lily nuzzles into James' neck.
"We better be going back now James."
"Alright."
James sets Lily down, and they link their fingers together, and walk together into the castle.
"I'm so glad you finally said yes to being my girlfriend. You've made me so happy."
James leans over and pecks Lily on the top of the head. Lily looks up, and meets James' lips.
This is how they should have been all this time…. why did it have to take so long? So many years they could have been together, and they have just gotten together now, during 7th year. So much time had been wasted, and Lily intended to make up for it.
Well that's it so far…. Hope you like it. It's short, but with some much needed info. Please R&R, and the next chapter will be longer.
