One Kiss From You
Author's Note: Here's chapter three! I'm on a roll on this fic! I hope you like it!
Chapter Three – A Slap Across The Face"James, I don't think I can do this. She hates me, and you know that" Sirius said while playing Wizards' Chess with him in the Common Room.
"Don't worry Sirius! Just be yourself"
"What kind of date are you going? Formal or just hang out?" Remus asked
"Hang out" Sirius replied quickly
"Ever thought of giving her something special?" Remus asked again
"Like what?"
"I don't know…chocolates? Flowers?"
"Any ideas James?" Sirus asked him
"Well…she likes chocolate, red and white roses. Um…she doesn't like white chocolate though. Oh! You can buy her a new dress!"
"Isn't that too early, James? It's just a date"
"You're right. Well, give her chocolates and flowers. That should do, she's a simple girl"
"Okay. Now, where shall I find chocolates and flowers?"
"Go to Hogsmeade…" Peter suggested
"Come with me, Prongs"
They were in Hogsmeade and were looking around. They stepped inside Honeydukes. Sirius bought the Honeydukes Chocolate. Then they went to a Flower Shop and bought a bouquet of red and white roses.
"There you are, Sirius. Are you ready tonight?"
"I think so" Sirius said
"You'll do fine"
At 5:40, Sirius was inside the Boys' Dorm and fixing himself. He had on a black shirt and denim jeans.
"Do I look okay?"
"Yes…don't forget about that pickup line I told you" James said smiling
"What pickup line?" Remus and Peter asked
"I'll tell you later"
"Okay…I'm going now"
Sirius left the room and waited by the fireplace.
In the Girls' Dorm, Lily was fixing Desiree's make-up and the other girls were busy with Desiree's hair.
"Lily! I don't wear make-up!"
"Don't worry! Just eye shadow and put on this banana lip gloss" Lily handed the lip gloss to Desiree
"I look ridiculous" Desiree told herself
Her black hair was tied up to a bun and there were chopsticks. Desiree had on a baby blue halter top, a white skirt and a pair of sandals.
"There…you're ready"
"I don't want to go out with him…"
"Aw c'mon, Des. Give the guy a chance" Ingrid Freeman, one of the girls told her
"Yeah…" Lily agreed
"But why do I have the feeling that he's the kind of guy that gets you as his girl and dumps you in two weeks!?"
"He's not like that…"
"I hope so"
Desiree stood up from the chair and walked out of the Girls' Dorm. Sirius looked up and saw Desiree walking down the stairs. Sirius stood up and stared at Desiree as she walked down the stairs. Desiree reached the bottom of the steps. Sirius walked towards her and looked deep in her green eyes. Desiree sighed.
"Yes, I know…I'm beautiful" Desiree let out a smirk, "No one told me that since my days back in Beauxbatons"
"Here." Sirius handed her the chocolate and the flowers
Desiree looked at him in amazement and took the chocolate and flowers from his hand.
"Thanks" she said silently
"Shall we?" Sirius held out his hand (arm) and Desiree, surprisingly, took it
"Let's go" James whispered to the guys and the three of them followed Desiree and Sirius.
"What are the boys up to now?" Lily whispered to Ingrid
"I don't know…but I know they have a plan…Remus has a camera in his hands" Ingrid said
"Let's follow them"
Lily and Ingrid followed the boys out of the Common Room.
"Tell me…why did you ask me out?" Desiree asked Sirius
[Song playing: Shape – Sugababes] Sirius and Desiree just arrived in a fancy restaurant in Hogsmeade. Sirius got a table for them.
"Well…"
"I know you like me…"
"Yes…"
"I noticed…from the chocolates and flowers…yes, I know you like me…"
Silent fell between them when Sirius spoke up.
"Do you…"
"Do I what?"
"Do you like me?" Sirius asked going slightly pink
"I can't answer that. I just went out with you tonight because James told me so. My first impression towards you was that…you're just not right for me. I've been hurt once and I don't want it to happen again. I'm sorry"
Desiree stood up from the table and walked out of the restaurant. Sirius followed her.
"Desiree!" He called out
"Don't come near me!" Tears formed in her eyes
"Look…I know you don't like me but I like you! Give me time and I'll give all the time in the world so you can be with me!"
Desiree stopped and turned to look at him.
"Yeah, the same guy once told me that once. Look, even if you give me all the time in the world, that won't happen and will never happen!" she yelled at him and continued to walk away
"What if I did something that'll open your eyes and change everything what you think about me?"
"And what would that be?" Desiree asked
"This"
Sirius grabbed Desiree's arm and pulled her to him, giving her a kiss. Desiree retrieved her arm and slapped Sirius across the face. Desiree ran away from him and ran towards the castle.
"Damnnit!"
"Padfoot! What went wrong?"
Sirius looked at his left and saw his friends, Lily and Ingrid appear.
"What did you do that made her slap you?" Lily asked all concerned
"She knows that I like her and her first impression towards me was that I wasn't right for her. She's been hurt once and she doesn't want to be hurt again. She said sorry, got up and left…causing this whole thing to happen"
"Did you use the pickup line that I told you to use?" James asked
"No, even if I told her that…this would still happen"
"What pickup line?" Lily asked
James sighed, "If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together"
"Oh"
"I remember this pickup line, it's gross, you might not want to hear it" Ingrid told them
"What is it?"
"I have an F, a C and a K…all I need is U"
"What? I didn't get that…" Peter scratched his head
Ingrid sighed, "rearrange the mentioned letters"
Peter thought for a minute then his face turned to a sour one, "Gross…where the hell did you get that?" Ingrid shrugged
"C'mon…let's go back to the castle…" [end of song]
Desiree sat on her bed, crying. She removed the chopsticks on her hair and letting it fall down. Then she heard voices in the Common Room. She recognized the voices.
"Sirius…you can't give up just like that" Remus snapped his fingers
"But I did…three minutes ago" Sirius covered his face with his hands, "Look, I love her…and not just any kind of love. I loved her since the day she came to this school"
"We know…we know…but, she doesn't love you in return"
"I know that…but…if only there's a way that she can love me back…" Sirius ran a hand through his hair, "any ideas?"
"Promise her…promise her that you'll love her all your life…and nothing will ever come between you…" Lily said
"Lily's right. That's the only way"
"Fine…I'll try…"
"Don't try…do it" Ingrid said encouragingly
I know that was short (was it?) but I hope you like it! Thanks!
