Lily felt the sunlight on her closed eyes and knew she wouldn't be able to roll over and go back to sleep. She opened her eyes and took in the guy sleeping next to her. She smiled to herself, recalling him finally asking her to be his girlfriend last night over dinner. She slowly unraveled their limbs and tip-toed across his room. She picked up his shirt from last night, flung carelessly on the floor, and put it on. Lily hummed to herself while she rummaged around his kitchen, trying to find out where he kept the coffee. Before last night, they had always gone to Lily's flat.

She heard voices and the sound of his front door and thanked her lucky stars she hadn't decided to explore the kitchen in the nude. She hadn't known he had had a roommate, or roommates from the sound of it. She finally found where they kept the coffee in this apartment- in the fridge, no less- and started up the coffeemaker. Now, it was time to find mugs.

"You know, I thought it was bit early in my career to have groupies, but welcome to my humble abode." Lily heard from behind her. She turned around, thinking Matt's roommate had one weird sense of humor, but her jaw dropped at who she saw standing there.

"James." She said.

"Yes, but don't look so shocked. Who else would you expect in my apartment?"

Lily couldn't do anything but gape. She took back her earlier thanks to her lucky stars. She must have very unlucky stars up there watching over her to run into a past hookup at her current boyfriend's apartment.

"I think you broke into the wrong room." James said, walking over to stand at the kitchen counter. "You seem to be wearing my roommate's shirt. You do have good timing though, this is my first time back here since the last time I saw you."

"I-" Lily said, not even sure where to begin.

"Evans, if you were ready for round two you really should've just returned one of my calls." James rubs his jaw. "I mean don't get me wrong, I love grand displays of affection, but I have to say, this is really toeing the privacy line."

Lily really can't tell if James is joking. Surely he doesn't actually think she broke into his apartment just to talk to him. Anyway, she knows for a fact that he never tried to call her or text her. She was waiting by her phone for an embarrassing amount of time for him to do just that. She thinks she would've noticed.

Another man that is not Matt walks into the kitchen behind James, saving Lily from explaining herself. "I smell coffee!" he announces.

James gestures between them. "Evans, this is one of my roommates and my best friend, Sirius. Sirius, this is Evans."

"Evans, how do you do?" Sirius says, grabbing her hand and shaking it like they were meeting as business associates. "I feel like I'm meeting a famous person, the way James goes on about you. Say, why did you never call him back?" James whacks Sirius on the back of his head.

Lily feels as though she might sink through the floor. This was not at all how she thought today would go. "I feel as though I should explain-" Lily starts.

"Good morning, everyone! Full house in the kitchen." Matt inadvertently cuts her off, standing in the doorway to the kitchen in just his sweatpants. "Lily, I see you've met my roommates. Boys, this is Lily Evans, my new girlfriend." He smiles at her sweetly. Lily thinks her heart just might stop. James is looking between Matt and Lily like both of them have grown a second head. Sirius looks gleeful.

"Lily Evans is it?" Sirius says, looking like he just won the lottery. "So, you," gesturing to Matt, "call her Lily, and you," gesturing to James, "call her Evans. But the two of you have been telling me about the same person." Sirius shakes his head. "What are the chances of that, huh?"

Matt walks over to Lily and puts his arms around her, "Oh, do you know James already then, Lily? Small world! Did you go to one of his little gigs?"

"Something like that." Lily squeaks. "I've just remembered I'm late for- something."

Matt frowns down at her. "But we have brunch plans."

"Well, I got an email last night that I just can't ignore. You know how it is." She pats his cheek and quickly removes herself from his embrace. "Well, lovely to meet you both." She nods at James and Sirius like a madwoman. James looks gob smacked. Sirius looks like it's the best day of his life. Lily practically runs down the hall to the door.

"Are you leaving in that?" She hears James call after her.

Bugger. She looks down at her men's dress shirt and bare feet. She walks the few steps back up the hallway to Matt's room and tries to get dressed as quickly as she can, hoping Matt won't ask any more questions and she can leave to put her head on straight.

She's pulling on her second heel from last night when Matt enters his room. "Let me drive you home." he says. Always such a gentleman. For some reason it annoys her today.

"No, no. I'm just going to take the train."

He frowns again. "Are you sure? What's got you all frantic? I thought you were excited to make it official."

"I told you- it's work. I feel bad for letting that email sit for as long as it has already." Lily makes her way to the door. Matt follows.

"Come on, Lil. It's the weekend." He puts an arm around her waist. Lily turns so they're chest to chest.

"And my job is important to me." Lily counters. "Look, I can carve out some time tomorrow, how does that sound?" Matt smiles.

"Will you promise to put me on your calendar?"

"Yes." Lily stands on her tip toes to peck him on the lips. "Now, let me go. I'll text you later." He releases his hold on her waist and Lily turns around to unlock the front door.

"'Bye!" She hears Matt call after her. Lily lets the door close and then leans against the hallway wall and sinks down until she is sitting on the floor and puts her head in her hands. How in the world is her boyfriend's roommate the guy she had the best sex of her life with but then never contacted her again? She is in big trouble.

She takes the elevator down to the ground floor and pulls her phone out to call her best friend. "You will not believe what just happened, Mary."
