~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
James tapped Lily's shoulder. With a flip of her auburn hair she turned to face him.
// Great.you have her attention.what should I say??? // James was panicked; he knew he should have thought of what to say before he walked up to her.
"Hi." James sputtered, unable to think up anything else.
// Hi?! That's all?! // He silently scolded himself.
"Hey. I thought that I would never see you again." Lily said with a cute smile that turned James into mush.
"Yeah, uh, me too." James said, staring at Lily's features.
"Why don't you sit here with me?" Lily asked politely.
"I'd like that."
James pried his eyes away from her long enough to pull a chair out from under the table. The chair screeched slightly against the tiles floorings of the café. There were a couple books on the table.
*** Flashback ***
17-year-old James Potter walked casually by the lake. His hair was tousled and his necktie was strung down from his neck. He was quite disheveled. He was enjoying the peace and quiet that he felt he deserved.
// Gah! I have way too much to do! There's quidditch, classes, NEWTs, my parents- // James's thought were cut off by a voice.
"Having a bad day?" The sweet voice inquired. By the tone he could tell that it was a girl.
James looked around the grounds; there was no one around but him. It was late afternoon and he didn't know of anyone that would come out at that time; everybody was usually socializing or doing homework.
"Where are you?" James called out, scanning the grounds with his eyes again. Nothing.
"Up here." The voice said in a softer pitch than before. He looked up to see a beautiful young woman in a tree not so far away. He swiftly walked over to her. He climbed up the stout tree. Once he got up there he saw that the tree had a rather spacious top that was mainly flat, excluding the extending branches.
"Hi." The pretty girl said almost in a whisper. "I'm Lily."
Lily's features were soft and modest. She had a slender figure in contrast to her big heart. Her hair was a flaming red and her eyes shone like emeralds.
"I'm James."
"I know." She said, with a slight smirk on her face.
James was puzzled. She knew who he was, but he had never seen her before.
"How do you know me?" He asked, inching closer to her in the hollow of the tree.
"Everyone knows James Potter. Hehe." Her laugh was just as sweet as her voice.
"What are you doing up here?"
"I like to sit here and read until the sun goes down. It's a really pretty view from up here." She said, gesturing to the sky. James noticed for the first time that there were a couple of book at her side.
"Oh. So, Lily, tell me more about you." He said, turning on his charm.
An hour later they were still talking and the sun was just about to disappear for the day.
"Ooh! Look up, the sun's going down!" Lily whispered, delight in her eyes.
Instead of looking up James just looked straight at her. "Yeah, beautiful."
Lily turned her gaze towards James.
Brown eyes met green and they leaned in for a kiss. It was an innocent kiss, but full of meaning.
*** End of Flashback ***
James snapped back up from his little reverie and saw that Lily was looking at him oddly.
"Are you okay? You just spaced off for a minute." She asked, concerned for the subway-stranger.
"Uh, yeah. I'm fine." He said, regaining his composure.
// You still don't know this guy's name! // A voice in Lily's head reminded her.
She was about to ask him what his name was when his cell phone went off.
He pulled his phone from out of his jacket pocket and checked who was calling.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go now. Meet me here tomorrow, same time?" James asked in a hurry. His phone was still ringing and his look was getting more and more flustered.
Lily nodded.
// It must be his boss or something like that. // Lily thought to herself.
"Bye, Lils. See you tomorrow." James said, leaving the café in a rush.
// Lils? No one ever called me that except for.James. //
