Hey guys! So you didn't make it to thirteen, ten is pretty close! Thank you for the wonderful reviews! Please don't be mad at me about this chapter, I have yet to figure out what is going to happen in it. (If you haven't figured out yet, when I sit down to write these things, my head is pretty much blank.) Okay now you can get me to shut up as I present Chapter 3 in Unexpected Love! (Don't forget to review with your comments, questions and ideas!) Erin

She sat there in shock looking into his eyes. She didn't know what to say, it was all too quick. Before she could even start to think straight, he leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. When their lips parted, he looked at her with a smile and said, " I think I should go and cancel the contest."

"Why?" She asked, still in obvious shock of what just happened. "Because I found my first place," he replied and kissed her again.

After a few moments, she could finally think and decided to ask him the big question on her mind. "Why did you always pull the pranks and get mad and........" He silenced her by putting a finger to her lips. "Because I thought you hated me, which I think you still do, and because you look really hot when your mad at me." She swatted him on the arm, and tried to express her feelings in words.

She opened her mouth just as the door to the Gryffindor common room opened and Sirius yelled out, "James are you up there?" "Sorry," James whispered looking upset at the intrusion, "I gotta go." As he walked out Lily peeked out through the door to see what was so important. "Did I score or what?!?" he said pointing to several hickeys the size of golf balls on his neck. "And look at what else?!" He tore open his shirt to show about 50 girls numbers. (a/n Let's just say that all the girls at Hogwarts have cell phones or something!) "Remus only got 43! He's pretty mad about that ! Ha, it just proves that I'm more of a hunk than him!

At this comment Lily tried hard to stifle a laugh, but it unfortunately didn't work. Sirius looked up at the girls dormitories, and smiled a sly smile. "Which reminds me, what ARE you doing here?? Girls are really starting to get ticked out there that you didn't show. Saying how they spent hours getting ready! There's got to be a reason, and if I know my best friend, which I do, (James rolled his eyes at this) I'm betting there's a lucky little lady in there." He finished his speech very impressed with how quickly he figured it out, his finger still pointed to the girls dormitories.

"What?" James replied dumbfounded, as he couldn't quite come up with a response. While he said that Sirius noticed something. "Come closer" he said grabbing James by his robes. "What the hel-" He was cut off by Sirius smirking as he looked at something a dark pink on his finger. "You had lipstick on your lips James, and unless you have a shocking little secret about what you do in your spare time, I think you my friend, have just had a very good mid-morning snack!"

"No, GOD, I just realized why guys are always given the reputation of being perverted!"

"Ohh my boy....she turned you down didn't she? I never thought I'd see the day! James Potter was turned down by a girl! It could be headlines! No one will ever believe it!"

"Sirius, I know I already said this to you today, but you've gotten into the habit of me having to repeat things for you so I'll say it clearly as to not confuse you! FUCK OFF!! And yes, just to satisfy your curiosity, she hates me, and I doubt that she'll ever change her mind about that! Now can you please leave me alone, I need to study!"

"Study?! Wow, you must have really liked her to now be stu-" "SIRIUS!!!" "Right right, fuck off, I'm already ahead of you on this one! I'll see you around then! Cheerio mate!"

Lily sighed as she fell onto her bed. She never said she hated him or even not like him. She just wasn't sure, but as she thought back to her shocked face, she could see why James took it that way. Her head was swarming, he was a damn good kisser, and he could be very sweet. Then again he could be very deceptive and sly. "But wasn't he doing that because he liked me?" she asked to the air. When no reply came she sank into her bed and cried. There was no fear of anyone intruding since all prefects had their own rooms.

Valentines day was coming up she realized as she sat up after a few hours. Her eyes were puffy and her face all red. Their would of course be a dance and a banquet, and tons of girls in love. Sirius and Remus would no doubt be seeing who could have the most dates at a time without any of them realizing, probably with some dumb thing for the looser to do. She would probably be sipping a butter beer from the sidelines, turning down guys with a frown on her face. James would probably be swarmed with girls all around him making eyes and flirting. The teachers would all no-doubt be too drunk to realize that about half of the couples would be retreating to their dorms early for a little valentines day "treat."

The days went by in a blur as Lily and James carefully avoided each other. A day before the Valentine's Day dance, a white owl dropped a letter on the pillow of Lily's bed with a single red rose. As she went to bed that night she noticed it lying there. She picked it up and looked at it curiously. As she filliped the card open, a smile came to her lips as she read the heartfelt words.

I know I already know the answer to this but I thought I'd ask anyway. I like you a lot Lilly, and I know you don't feel the same way but I had to get this out. When I wake up I see your smile and when I go to sleep I hear your voice. I don't know how it happened, but one day I wanted to see how I could annoy you, and the next, I wanted to see how I could make you notice me. Valentine's day is going to be very lonely without you, as I can't see myself with someone else. Okay here's my question, but I already know what you'll say so here it goes....Will you go to the dance with me? James

She smiled slowly , and to her surprise, found that her heart answered his question immediately. It was late, and she noticed that she was wearing a skimpy little satin nightgown, but she didn't care, she had to tell him her answer personally.

James woke up slowly, having felt something land on his bed. As his eyes opened, he saw Lily in a revealing little nightgown and a smile on her lips. When he saw her his eyes opened wide as he started to ask why she was here when he was silenced by her finger.

"I came to give you my answer to your questions," she smiled seductively.

So what do you guys think? Should I change the story to an R rating for the next chapter? Where do you want it to go? I wasn't too happy about how this chapter turned out, but think it will play a big part in the story! I'm trying for 13 reviews this time! ; ) I'm flattered that when you review my story you say you love it, but please share ideas! This story took me over 2 hours to write, cause I had no ideas!
