My One and Only
Reviewers:
¤Daffy-Thanks so much! Is this really the only LJ fic you've read when they're friends first? Wow! I think I've read a few, but that might've been on another site altogether!
¤Becka5- Yeah, I hope it's an okay beginning. I haven't posted as often as I planned, but school has been really busy lately.
¤Jillian Ryn- Thanks for all the compliments! Yes, Truth or Dare. It's not what you're expecting I bet, it's not even what I was expecting. He he
¤Shree- Yes, too many couples. I know. He he.
¤Everyone!- Thanks so much for reading! I love reading all the reviews!
A/N: Okay, this next chapter I wrote in a hurry, so it's not my best. I don't really like it all that much, my muse took me in a completely different direction than I would have liked. But it'll have to do! He he.
WARNING! This is an R rated chapter right here, I think at least. It just what they are talking about in it that might make it R. But, anyways.
Chapter Three- Truth, Dare, and More Truth
"I can't believe we're playing truth or dare!" Sarah groaned. We all laughed.
"Fine Sar, since you're so cheerful, how about you start?" Sirius suggested.
"Whatever. Celia, truth or dare?"
"Uh, truth I suppose." Celia said nervously.
"Okay then. Have you and Remus done it yet?" The couple looked at each other.
"What do you mean it?" Celia said slyly.
"You know perfectly well what I mean!" Sarah said; throwing a couch pillow at her friend.
"Well, there are many it's! Don't you think? Let's see, kissing, French kissing, necking-" Cel counted off on her fingers.
"Have you and Remy had sex then?" Sarah pushed.
"Oh, well that's all you had to say. Jeez! Beat around the bush why don't you!" It was clear she had already known what Sarah meant.
"So-"
"Yes." Celia said in a matter-of-fact tone. James, Sirius, and I let out whistles and cat calls, causing Remus and Celia to blush slightly.
"Truth or dare Lily." Celia said.
"Truth."
What's wrong with dares!" Sirius whined.
"Shut up you! Now Lily, have you and James ever kissed?" Celia asked.
"Yes." I stated.
"On the lips?" She squealed.
"I answered your question, now, Isabella, truth or dare?" Lily said, ignoring the annoying whines from everyone as James winked mischievously at me and we both laugh.
"Dare." Isabella said, which was followed by a soft "Finally" from Sirius.
"Kiss Frank."
"No!"
"Why not?"
"Well, for one thing, he's dating Alice! And it's pretty well set they'll be getting married! Absolutely not, I refuse!" Bella explained.
"You gotta if you wanna keep playing." I told her.
"Bella, I have no problem with it. I know Frank wouldn't do it in his choice, go ahead." Frank looked slightly shocked that Alice would agree to it. Bella sighed and leaned over to kiss for five seconds as counted by me.
"Alright, Alice-"
"Truth."
"What're you most scared of about leaving Hogwarts?"
"That's simple! Voldemort of course! That guy is a psycho, isn't he? And almost half of us are training to be Aurors!" Alice said. Frank put a reassuring arm around her.
"Siri, dare I presume?" Sirius nodded like a little kid. "Okay, snog Peter."
"There is no way in hell!"
"Fine, Remus."
"No way! I'm out. That's revolting." He shuddered as everyone laughed.
"Ah, c'mon Padfoot! I thought you loved me!" Remus said in a would-be hurt voice.
"Fine then, James?"
"I ain't kissing no guy. Got that Alice?" Everyone laughed again at his bluntness.
"Oh really-" Alice started slyly.
"Truth!" He said in a slightly panicked tone, but then finished calmly, "I pick truth."
"Where have you kissed Lily?" We both rolled our eyes.
"What is up with all of you and Lily and I today? Jeez!" He exclaimed. "But, the cheek.forehead, pretty neutral spots-"
"Neck? That's a pretty neutral spot for me." Sirius implied.
"No, and silence from the losers please." James held up his hand in a girly way.
"Is that all?" Celia whined.
"Yes." I answered defiantly.
"Valerie, dare?"
"Why of course!" And this was followed by a "That's my girl-" and then a quick "Sirius! Shut up!" from everyone else.
"The first time you had Padfoot in bed was he any good, to you?" Sirius choked.
"Honestly? He was okay."
"Hey!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Hey yourself! This is truth or dare, you gotta be honest. Besides, your better now-"
"Oh please spare us the details." James moaned.
"Pete, truth or dare?"
"Dare, I guess-" He spoke nervously.
"Go to Mrs. Potter, start crying, tell her you didn't get your afternoon snack and get her to make you some of that yummy 'Puppy Chow' she whips up." Puppy Chow was Mel's specialty. It was some kind of cereal covered in powered sugar. Peter got up and soon they heard loud sobs coming from the kitchen.
He came back, carrying a large bowl full to the rim and smiling happily.
"James, truth or dare?"
"He just went!" Sarah protested.
"Dare." James said ignoring her.
Snog Lily until we," he gestured to everyone else in the room, "decide you're done." James looked at me.
"Are you okay with this?" I knew he wanted me to say yes, he never backs out of a dare.
"Yeah."
"Bloody brilliant Pete. Never thought you had it in you." Sirius whispered as James leaned down and our lips connected. I felt a shock, which startled me.
James must have felt it too because he pulled away and gave me a questioning look.
"C'mon you two! We don't have all day! Remus said impatiently; grabbing a handful of 'Puppy Chow'.
"Let's get this over with, shall we?" I asked as I put my hand behind his neck and pulled him down. His lips were gentle. After a few seconds I heard Val say,
"That ain't a snog! C'mon guys!" I smiled, some best friend she was. James moved his tongue across my lower lip and I let him enter my mouth. I could hear catcalls and barks. (Probably from Sirius.)
He had his hands around my waist by now and mine were around his neck. I was playing with the hair on the base of it. I had no clue how long we'd been at it. He was being careful with his tongue, as to not go to far. We fell with a 'thunk' on the floor. James was on top of me.
~¤~~¤~~¤~~¤~~¤~~¤~
Her lips were so soft! She tasted like strawberries and cream, which totally drove me wild. James Potter! Don't think such things about your friend. Ugh. But what was that shock in the beginning? Lily had felt it too.
"Okay, pull him off. They've had enough." I heard Sarah say. The truth was I hadn't. No! C'mon, I don't have any feelings for her! Shit James! I was pulled up anyway. We were both breathing heavily.
"Kept us at it long enough." Lily said, getting off the floor.
"You can't say you didn't enjoy it." Val said slyly.
"Yeah, but-"
"We're just friends." We both finished. We looked at each other, laughed, then hugged. I kissed her cheek and we sat down again.
"Now that's scary. Reading each other's minds! Brilliant! Yes.but scary." frank said shaking his head.
"I'm done playing this game." Celia said.
"But not everyone has had a chance to go yet! You all were to busy trying to get Lily and James together!" This was true. Our friends had never pushed our relationship this much.
"I say we go into Hogsmeade. Freshly made butterbeer sounds nice." Valerie suggested.
"Hogsmeade it is! Let's go!" Sirius said. Remus, Celia, Alice, and Frank (Basically all the couples) followed them. They left the Potter Place with a last goodbye. Peter and Sarah left after that, saying they had things to do around the house.
"I'm going to go too. I'll see you in Diagon Alley before school starts." Isabella said. Then she left in a puff of green smoke. That left Lily and I all alone again.
"Well, I certainly have no place to be! How about you? I didn't want to go to Hogsmeade. Those couples make me sick sometimes!"
"Me too girl, me too." I said. It was getting late. "Let's go watch a movie, shall we?" Lily nodded.
We raced to my room (I won) and chose the movie The Bone Collector. She always gets scared during it, but denies it every time she suggest we watch it again and I point it out. She changed into a pair of my boxers and little spaghetti strapped shirt she said was called a 'camisole'. I got out of my clothes and pulled on some warm fleece pants and a white t-shirt.
We both climbed into my bed, her in front of me, and I wrapped my arms around her as she turned the movie on. I couldn't help but smell her hair as it started. I had no idea what was going on with me.
~¤~~¤~~¤~~¤~~¤~~¤~
This is by far the scariest movie I have ever seen! I keep trying to watch it just to prove to James that I can watch it. But I can't. Every time it shows that taxi I shriek!
When the movie finally ended I was fully turned away from the telly and my head was by James' chest. He was chuckling as he gently stroked my hair.
"As much as I hate to say this, you're right. I totally despise that movie!" James laughed. We were silent for a few minutes when all of the sudden I said,
"I can't believe Celia and Remus have had sex!"
"Like you haven't." James said in sarcastic tone.
"No!" I told him.
"Oh." He said quietly. Then he shifted his body uncomfortably.
"Wait-you have?" I said.
"Well.yeah."
"When?"
"6th Year."
"Oh." It was my turn be uncomfortable. I thought I knew everything about James! He tells me everything! I'm his best friend (not including Sirius) and I just find out he's not a virgin! That puts me out a bit.
"So, why haven't you-?"
"I haven't found the right person."
"Whaddya mean?" I sat up and so did he. I looked straight into his hazel eyes.
"Look, I want my first time to be.special. With someone I love, you know?" He nodded, but looked puzzled. "Did it hurt?" I continued quietly, putting my head down to break eye contact.
"No, it only hurts girls their first time. But she seemed to." I held up my hand.
"Save the details for Sirius."
"Okay."
"Who was it with, James?"
"Uh-"
"Never mind! I don't want to know!" I said quickly. "Was it one of our friends?" He rolled his eyes at my complexity.
"It was Sarah."
"Sarah! Our Sarah? Sarah Matthews!"
"Yeah."
"But you never dated." James chuckled.
"No, no we didn't. It was kind of a one time thing." I had the sudden feeling he was talking to me as if I were a child.
"I can't believe this! Am I the only virgin in our group! There's Alice, Frank, Sirius, Val, Celia, Remus, YOU!"
"Isabella-"
"Nope. Muggle boyfriend. Summer before 6th year. What about Pete?"
"Hufflepuff."
"Aargh!" I groaned and slammed my head back down on the pillow. "The only one! I thought for sure Sarah would lose it after me! She's so good. Well, not recently I suppose. Did you see her today?"
"Yeah, she's hot." I choked on my own spit and went into a coughing attack and fell to the floor, bringing James and all the covers, which we had been tangled up in with me. He started cracking up while I stopped coughing. Then I joined him.
"It's not really funny James!" I persisted.
"I can't believe you reacted that way! I say one of our friends is pretty and you totally flip!"
"You said hot."
"Lily, you're hot." Was he trying to reason with me? Because if he is. I'm confused.
"Uh, thanks James.?"
"No, no! I mean, you are! But, my point is that it's okay to call my friends hot! Doesn't mean I'm gonna try to snog you senseless or anything. I mean, look at it this way: If I wanted to do that, I would've by now, right?"
"You did this afternoon." I said slyly.
"Dare!" He explained.
"Right." I said sarcastically. "Prove it."
"Prove what?"
"That you didn't want to kiss me, and that you didn't enjoy it."
"Can't. It would be lying. The kiss was nice, and who wouldn't want to kiss you? But I can tell you that it honestly meant nothing to me. I shrugged and he grabbed my waist and kissed me gently.
"James-"
"I'm trying to prove a point, Lils, shut it."
~¤~~¤~~¤~~¤~~¤~~¤~
Okay, so I'm not trying to prove a point to her. I'm trying to prove it to myself. What was with this sudden attraction with Lily? I had to kiss her again to make sure it was just some fluke thing. I continued on for another minute then pulled away and grinned.
"Ah, nothing. Told you." She laughed lightly.
"Fine. Whatever floats your boat." I gave her a quizzical look. "Forget it. I'm tired, let's go to bed." We climbed back on the bed.
"Night Lils." I whispered; kissing her forehead.
"Mmm." She replied into my chest as she fell asleep.
