A Love Once Lost

Chapter 2: Memories

Lily could still feel his hands on her body, every movement sent and jolt of electricity through her body and she never wanted this to stop. For a brief moment their lips met again and they shared what each had wanted for so long, the other. She cold feel his hot breath as his mouth slowly kissed its way down her body, driving her even more insane than before. God she loved this. Their eyes met this time as he glanced up for her reaction and now she knew tonight was the night. Tonight she'd be with him. As he lowered himself onto her another wave of pure ecstasy wracked her body, but this time she began shaking and somewhere she heard Dani's voice calling her back.

"Lily! Wake up!"

"Wha-what's wrong." Lily's eyes shot open and she could feel herself breathing hard.

"You were breathing really hard and saying James and some other stuff I couldn't make out."

"Oh, that's weird, because I wasn't dreaming." Lily lied while silently scolding herself for even thinking of that night again. Nevertheless, even as she was scolding herself she felt her mind drift back to the endless passion they had shared. God she wished she could have him again.

"OK, as long as you're alright." Dani replied turning back over in her bed, "Night."

"Night." Lily sighed, wasn't it bad enough she had to remember that night when she was awake? Now she was dreaming about it. She shuddered from the thought and closed her eyes again to try and sleep.

~*~*~*

"So…. Lily. What do you wanna do today?" James asked, casually strolling into the bathroom where Lily was putting on her makeup.

"I dunno, what is there to do?" Lily didn't really care as long as she got to spend another day with James.

"Ever been ice skating?" He grinned.

"What are you grinning about?"

"Sirius-"

"No."

"I didn't even finish!"

"All I had to hear was Sirius and ice skating."

"Oh, com'n…. He has his own rink free of people. Please?" James pouted.

"You won't let him pull anything?"

"If he so much as lays a finger on you he'll get his ass kicked."

"Ok, we can go." Lily sighed and gave in.

~*~*~*~

Lily felt James' hands slide around her waist and she shuddered.

"So is my Lily-Billie enjoying herself?"

"I'm not yours you know." You lost me when you chose to break my heart. She silently added to herself.

"You are for today." He smiled, skating to a stop in front of Lily, who half wished he'd kiss her, and half wished he'd fall down on his butt. However, as she glanced into the laughing chocolate brown eyes that were staring at her she felt herself get lost once again. James skated close and held Lily tight, neither ever wanting to let the other go.

"Lily I-"

"GO JAMES!" The voice of Sirius Black interrupted the serene moment and James gave Lily a quick kiss before heading to see his friend. Lily skated slowly towards the two, but was soon swept off her feet by Sirius.

"SIRIUS BLACK YOU PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT OR I'LL HEX YOU!" Lily yelled, laughing. Sirius may get on her nerves sometimes, but she knew she couldn't have a better friend.

"But my Lily hasn't come to see me!" He shouted setting her back on the ice, "And when she does, she doesn't even give me a hug."

"Sirius you know I'd never forget you." Lily couldn't help but grin at her best friend and giving him a hug that almost knocked him over. She had missed him.

"That's better." He grinned, "So when do we eat?"

"Sirius it's hardly 10, how can you think about eating?"

"It's 10 already?" Sirius managed to leave as quickly as he had come.

"Alone again." James eyed Lily like a hawk eyes its prey.

"James, I can ask you anything can't I?" Lily raised her eyes slowly and carefully to meet his, as soon as she did James knew what it was she was talking about, and she whispered barely audible "What was that night?"

"Hell, Lily, you think I know? One minute we were joking and the next…." The boy trailed off.

"We were… together." Lily spoke the words as if the were something that hadn't really happened to her, something completely mysterious.

"It was wonderful though." James caught her eye, up until now, something he couldn't bring himself to do.

"And completely insane"

"And perfect"

"And the passion." Lily whispered, feeling his hands slide down her body as she swallowed hard, it couldn't happen again.

"We were wonderful." James whispered back into her neck and she slowly felt his lips brush against her. It sent a chill through her veins, how many times had she wished for his touch, this moment, the moment she knew that they were meant to be.

"Lily, I want you again." He whispered between the caresses his lips were giving her skin.

"I want you too, James.'" She whispered even softer. She wished she could feel his tongue again, so tentatively and yet so forcefully exploring her mouth. He sensed this and slowly kissed his way to her mouth. His lips were against hers and that was all that mattered for now. Slowly they both wanted, and needed more, Lily opened her mouth and slowly began nibbling on the flesh that was James' lips, but even this wasn't enough, they knew what they could accomplish and they wanted it. Now.

"James, we can't, not here." Lily whispered as she felt James' kisses making their way down her all too bare neckline, "Imagine who could see us." Slowly they parted and stared at each other, breathing heavily.

"Did I miss anything?' Sirius skated up beside them, grinning.

"No, we were just racing."

"Who won?"

"James." Lily said at the same moment James said "Lily" both blushed and tore their gaze from each other. But Sirius wasn't a fool. He noticed James' voice was a little huskier than usual, and the light red mark on Lily's neck.

"So it was a tie?" Sirius asked casually raising his eyebrows.

"Yeah." The couple said in unison, both wondering how much Sirius had seen.

"Ah, well mum's fixed us lunch so we'd better eat, K?"

"Yeah, we're coming." James led Lily off the ice and into the attached dining room, neither noticed the knowing sparkle residing in Sirius' eyes.
