Did you ever love somebody

So much that the earth moved

Did you ever love somebody

Even though it hurt to

Did you ever love somebody

Nothing else your heart could do

Did you ever love somebody

Who never knew

Did you ever lay your head down

On the shoulder of a good friend

And then had to look away some how

And to hide the way you felt for them

Lily and Sark

                Lily opened her eyes and sat up quickly. She laughed when she realized she was in her room. "Ow." She put a hand on her head. Hangover.

                "You got one too?" Sark passed by her bedroom door. He stepped inside for a minute and looked around. "Hurts don't it?" He muttered leaning on her door frame. His head was killing him, but he couldn't help the image that popped into it. He didn't mind it either…

                Lily looked up at him and smiled. "I can handle it." Sark smirked as she turned her head toward her mirror. "What's wrong?" She squinted in confusion.

                "Huh?" Sark snapped out of his 'daydream' and moved his head towards hers. His blue eyes locked on her green. "What?"

                "You just looked… steamy for a second." Lily laughed and clutched her head again. "I'm not even old enough to drink. Thank god I only drink once every six months." She got up out of bed and looked down, making sure she had something on. She sighed. A tank top and her pajama pants.

                "Steamy?" Sark narrowed his eyes. "What does steamy mean?" His own hangover was getting larger by the minute.

                "You know." Lily opened her drawers and pulled out black jeans and a black tank-top. "Like you were in the middle of a really hot day-dream." She raised her eyebrows to make her point.

                "Oh." Sark stood up straight when he realized that she noticed. "Sorry…" He blushed.

                "Ok… I'm gonna go take a shower." Lily picked up her clothes and walked past Sark. "Go cool off!" She yelled behind to him.

                "Yeah." Sark muttered as he walked to his own room. "I'm supposed to cool off while you're in the shower." He was muttering to no one in particular. Going to his bed, he climbed onto it and stuck his head under a pillow. But that only helped to make the image larger and larger.

                Out of breath and pissed off that he couldn't control himself, Sark stood up and started to get dressed. He had the week off so he wasn't going to waste it. He also knew that Lily had the week off, but he didn't care… or at least he didn't want to.

                His hangover was subsiding, so he decided to go out and see what was up in the world.

                Ten minutes later he was on his cell phone. "Yeah. I'll meet you there in five minutes." Sark smiled and hung up the phone. One of his other friends, Ricky, had wanted to meet up with him for a while, but Sark never had time. So, now he was going to.

                "Rick!" Sark yelled when he got to the parking lot of a small hotel, but it had a great café.
                "Sark!" Ricky jogged over to his friend and grabbed his hand in a handshake. "Come on. I need lunch, I haven't eaten since yesterday morning and it's one o'clock already."

                "Yeah." Sark laughed and walked next to his friend as they entered the café.

                Two hours later, the topic over the two coffees had turned to women.

                "So, I have a girlfriend. Kelly. What about you? I heard your living with one…" Ricky raised his eyebrows.

                "No, it's not like that. Lily and I work together and our boss got so tired of us fighting… he made us partners and made us live together…" Sark nodded, but his eyes were a little glazed over.

                "Ok, so it's not Lily. Who is it, cause I know that you got someone on that dirty mind of yours." Ricky laughed and took a sip of his drink.     

                "Yeah, I have someone on my mind. Thing is that I don't want to have her on my mind." Sark fidgeted and moved his drink around in his hands.

                "Oh. You want someone, but you don't want to want them?" Ricky smiled and looked down at the drinks.

                "Yeah. She's just got this thing about her that makes me crazy. She's my best friend, she's my worst enemy… she's the girl I want, but can't have." Sark paused and looked up at Ricky. "She's the one girl that I don't want to feel like this about."

                "And why are you telling me and not her?" Ricky exclaimed. "You never were the shy one."

                Sark nodded. "She will kill me if I tell her…" He glanced down at his watch and jumped up. "I gotta get going…" He smiled and grabbed his jacket. "It was great to do this…" Sark smiled and ran out of the café. Ricky just sat there and laughed.

                "I'm not late!" Sark yelled as he jumped into the house.

                "Who said you were?" Lily walked out of the kitchen and smiled sweetly at the look he was giving her.

                "Smart ass." Sark muttered and threw his jacket down. "When do you want to go? Dana and Charles are expecting us." Sarcasm was usually in his tone when he mentioned them. "Why do we even have to put up with them?"

                "Because they are our boss' friends and they expect us." Lily picked up her jean jacket and smiled. "You only hate it because you have to pretend that I'm your girlfriend."

                Sark laughed as his eyes followed her out the door and then his feet. As he locked the door, Lily turned around and watched him.

                She never really took in all his features. Eyes, she knew them well. Blue and gorgeous. Dark blonde hair that fell into his eyes when he didn't do the whole gel thing. Black jeans and a dark blue shirt were his usual clothes if he didn't have work. He also had a leather jacket on too.

                "Hello?" Sark waved a hand in front of Lily's face. "Yeah, I'm not the only one with the steamy daydreams." He laughed and pulled her to the car.

                Lily smiled and blushed slightly. "I hate you." She muttered as she slid into the seat. He got in too and smiled at her.

                "Lillian!" Dana walked down the steps of her house to meet the two. "Sean!" Charles followed behind her and gave Lily a hug and Sark a handshake. "Come in you two. Dinner is ready and you two look starved."

                Sark frowned as he walked up the steps, Lily at his side.

                "You two still together…" Charles brought up the subject even before they got to the last step.

                "Yeah." Lily lied and put her arm around his waist, pulling him closer. Sark sighed and smiled a sincere and fake smile. It was a tough job, but he could put up with it.

                "Obviously, Charles. They wouldn't be here together if they weren't." Dana walked into the house, Charles and then the 'couple'.

                "You changed the hall around, Dana." Lily observed as Sark took her jacket off her. She smiled at him and looked at Dana.

                "Yes, do you like it?" Dana walked over to the door to the dining room.

                "It's gorgeous Dana." Sark smirked at the hostess and then looked over to Lily.

                "Come you two. Dinner is in here." Charles walked into the dining room.

                Lily realized that Sark was staring at her. "Come on. And be on your best boyfriend behavior." She took his hand and walked into the room with him.

                Half an hour later, dinner was pretty much over for everyone. Topics were hard to come by in this house.

                At some point, Sark made a remark about work, even though he had the week off. And he mentioned getting up early.

                Lily handed Sark his jacket and had started to get hers on, when he started helping her. She spun around after it was on and looked at him.

                "What?" Sark looked a little confused.

                "Nothing…" Lily shook her head.

                "Wait. I want a picture of you two together." Dana pulled out a camera from a small table in the hall. "Come on, get closer."

                Lily moved a bit closer to Sark and let go of his hand. He took the opportunity to slide it around her waist. They both smiled and waited as Dana took the picture. Immediately Lily let go of Sark, but he kept his arm around her.

                "Can I talk to you for a minute?" Lily looked at Sark and pulled him into a room connected to the hall.

                "What?" Sark looked at Lily, confused. "I'm just being a 'boyfriend'."

                "You don't have to try so hard." Lily looked away.

                "Excuse me?" Sark looked surprised. "I'm not trying hard at all…"

                Charlie called from the hall. "Are you two fighting in there?" They heard footsteps coming towards them.

                "No, we're not fighting." Lily called back, trying to get him to stop coming to them.

                "You two gonna come back?" The footsteps continued.

                Sark didn't take his eyes off Lily. The footsteps were getting closer. Lily looked up and saw his eyes staring at her.

                Suddenly he was kissing her. What the hell? But she was kissing back.

                "You…" Charlie walked into the room and that's when Lily pulled back. "You're not fighting…" Charlie smirked and left them alone again.

                "Were leaving." Lily went into the hall, not caring if Sark was behind her or not. "Thanks Dana. Goodbye Charlie." Lily went out the door and then stood on the steps waiting for Sark.

                "We'll see you." Sark went outside and stared at her before actually started down the steps.

                Lily waited until they were back at their own house to ask. "Why'd you do that?" Sark ignored her and got out of the car, taking out his key to open the door to the house. "Answer me." She ordered and stood in front of the door, blocking him.

                Sark sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Right thing to do at the time." He tried to move her out of the way, but she stayed still. "Will you move?" He got frustrated.

                "No." She snapped. Then her voice got quieter. "You shouldn't have kissed me." The tone of her voice said differently. "I hate you." She moved out of the way so he could open the door, but he stood there.

                "You hate me?" Sark looked at her, confused, angry and all other emotions all at once. "God, Lily will you stop with the 'I hate you' stuff." His hand ran through his hair again. "Cause you're confusing the hell out of me."

                "What is so confusing?" Lily asked him, her own voice showing a little anger. "You and me have hated each other since we met. What the hell changed?"

                "A lot." Sark gulped. "A lot, Lily." He opened the door and stepped inside.

                "Sark?" Lily followed him inside. He spun around and waited. The look in his blue eyes was blinding with all sorts of emotions. She didn't know which one to start with. "Why'd you kiss me?" She repeated her question.

                "I already told you…" He turned towards the stairs, but Lily reached out and grabbed his arm, turning him back.

                "I don't believe you." She countered. Her hand was still on his arm, making sure he wouldn't leave. "Give me an answer…" Pleading, she let go of him.

                Sark sighed and bowed his head in defeat. Bringing his head back up he looked her straight in the eyes. "You know why." He spun around and climbed up the stairs, leaving Lily standing there and staring.

                Lily continued to look up the stairs and then turned around. She still had her jacket on, so she grabbed her car keys and went out.

                It took her longer then usual to get to 'La Vie'. "Hey, Emma!" Lily called when she got inside.

                "What are you doing here?" Emma gave her friend a hug.

                "Needed to get far from Sark." Lily told her and kept her mouth shut as she walked to were it was a little quieter.

                "Is he getting on your nerves?" Emma questioned her.

                Lily started to think. He wasn't on her nerves, really. He was more on her mind.

Have you ever prayed the day would come

You'd hear them say they feel it too

Did you ever love someone

Who never knew

                "No, he's not on my nerves…" Lily looked down at her hands. "He's on my mind… all the time and I don't know why." She looked confused and broken down.

                "Really?" Emma looked at Lily as if she was crazy. "You two hate each other…"

                "I know… but he gives me these looks that make me think he doesn't hate me." She stopped short and looked at Emma. "And I don't hate him."

                "You sound as if you're in love." Emma smiled.

                "No." Lily snapped. "I'm not in love with Sark, Sean." She said his first name as if it was different.

                "Yeah you are…"

                "I gotta go." Lily stood up and went out side. Her car felt cold inside and she tugged her jacket as she started it.

And if

You did

Well you know I'd understand

I could

I would

More then anybody can

                "I'm not." Lily whispered as she stopped the car right before a bridge. She stepped out of the car and walked onto the bridge. There weren't any cars, so she walked over to the middle.

                Leaning over to look at the water, she sighed.

Did you ever love somebody

So much that the earth moved

Did you ever love somebody

Even though it hurt to

                Her face reflected in the water and she looked closely. She wasn't in love. This wasn't love. Lust maybe, but not love.

                "So why do I feel so bad?" Lily questioned herself.

                God, maybe I am. Ever since he got back from Taipei she's been like this. Every little thing that he's done has made her imagine. From when he smiled at her to when he kissed her.

                I kissed back. Lily smirked and got back in her car. Maybe… no. She shook her head, a few tears falling out.

Did you ever love somebody

Nothing else your heart could do

Did you ever love somebody

Like I love you

                Lily pulled the car into the driveway and got out. As she opened the door she realized that the tears were still on her cheeks. Whatever.

                She looked up and noticed that Sark was standing there, jacket on as if he was going to leave.

                He's not going anywhere.

                Lily moved forwards as Sark walked down the steps.

                Once she was close enough to touch him, she put her hand on the back of his neck and pulled his lips down to hers.

                Sweets… that's what he tasted like. That and coffee. Her top two favorite things in the world.

                She'd have to add kissing him to the top of that list.

Like I love you

                They never noticed the rain…

Like I love you
