Chapter 09 – Making Up
As soon as Kayla entered the house, she went straight up to her room and flopped on her bed. She knew that this was going to be a boring summer. Lily was going to Italy for the most of the summer to visit with family, and even though Kayla was invited, Kayla's Mother decided that her daughter needed to stay home, so now Kayla was stuck at home with two parents that she couldn't stand for three months with nothing to do!
Kayla groaned and turned over onto her back to stare at her deep red ceiling. 'Damn Sirius Black for making my life so miserable!' she cursed him. 'But I wonder what he's doing right now. Probably in the kitchen bothering the house elves for food or maybe bugging his parents already,' she thought, and got an amused smile thinking about how predictable he could be sometimes.
It was a tradition for Sirius that whenever he got home that he bug his parents and rid the kitchen of nearly everything to eat. How that boy didn't gain a pound was beyond Kayla's comprehension. With all that he ate you'd think that he would weigh more than a muggle elephant! But he never gained a pound. Much to Kayla's disgust.
Kayla sighed as she realized that she was still thinking about Sirius. "Pathetic Kayla. You haven't been able to think of much else for the past few months. Get over it! He just wanted to have sex with you; something that you are not, and never will be willing to do. With anyone." She said venomously to herself.
A knock suddenly sounded at Kayla's door and she bid them enter.
"Good-evening Mistress Kayla," one of the Cameron's human servants smiled as she entered Kayla's room.
Kayla smiled at the girl. Her name was Breanna Walters, she was 16, with straight, short black hair and dark brown eyes, and she was a little plump in the middle, but still looked beautiful with her cream colored skin and her radiant smile.
"Nice to see you again, Bre," Kayla smiled as she sat up and crossed her legs Indian style. "What are you doing here?" she asked.
"I was just coming up to see if you required anything at the moment," Bre, as most people called her, answered. She had grown up with Kayla, she herself being born in the Manor, so the two were pretty close considering their differences in rank, and Kayla was more of a sister than a Mistress to her. Kayla had given Bre English lessons, teaching her how to speak right, how to write, how to do math, and everything else that Bre would need to know to become something later on in life.
"No, I'm okay, Bre," Kayla sighed. "How about you? How's life been for you at the Manor?"
Bre smiled. She had been waiting to tell Kayla this for weeks! "Well, you remember that boy from the village whom I told you that I had a fancy for?" Bre asked as she sat down in one of the black chairs by the bed.
Kayla nodded her head with a smile. She knew where this was going. "Well, a couple of weeks ago I was out shopping for some new linens, and I sort of . . . ran into him! It was more like I collided with him actually, but that's not the point. He helped me up! And then he introduced himself to me. As if I didn't know his name! And we got to talking, and suddenly it became dark, and bam! He kissed me! Me! He kissed me! And then, he asked me out!" Bre nearly screamed in her excitement.
Kayla laughed at the excitement that clouded her friends face. "Congratulations Bre!"
Bre smiled and then asked the same of Kayla, "How's everything at Hogwarts?"
Kayla's smiled disappeared and she groaned while she fell back on her bed. "Last year sucked!" she informed the girl.
"Why is that?"
"Many reasons. First of all, I think that James and Lily have a thing for each other – the were making eyes at each other all this year, and they'd go off sometimes alone. And then Black. Ugh. Don't get me started on Sirius! The little bastard wants only one thing from girls, and that's sex! Does he want any kind of relationship other than that with a girl? NO!" she steamed.
"You like him!" Bre nearly shouted in amazement. Over the years, she had heard enough of Sirius Black to last a lifetime. But not once had she ever heard Kayla speak of him in that tone. She was usually amused by his antics to get her.
Kayla practically glowered when she heard that. "No I don't."
Bre smiled knowingly and got up. "I best continue my work before I get in trouble. I'll talk to you soon Mistress Kayla."
"And don't call me that!" Kayla yelled to Bre's back as she left the room.
"And I hate it when you're right too." Kayla muttered under her breath as she buried her head in her pillow and fell asleep.

One month later, the man that Kayla had found herself dreaming about suddenly showed up.
"Sirius? What are you doing here?" she asked as she continued to eat her breakfast in the over large dinning room.
Sirius came over and sat across from her. He looked up at her with a smile and began heaping food from the platters that litter the mahogany dinning table onto a white and crystal plate.
"Can't I just come and visit my girlfriend?" he asked with a raised brow as he took a bite of food.
"No. 'Cuz first of all, I'm not your girlfriend, and second of all, I'm willing to bet that you're only here to eat and try to get laid," she retorted with a frosty glare in his direction. "And how'd you know where to find me?" she asked.
"Bre told me that you were eating still, so I figured that you were in the dinning room. And I was right!"
"Right," Kayla drawled as she continued to eat and study him. He actually looked quite . . . handsome today in his baggy dark blue jeans and his slate gray turtleneck sweater.
"Why are you staring at me?" Sirius asked as he smiled. He knew why she was staring, but he still wanted her to admit it. Although he had a feeling that she wouldn't.
"I'm not!"
Sirius smiled at her and shrugged. "I was thinking-"
"Good Lord help us all," Kayla muttered with a roll of her eyes heavenward.
"-that maybe we could go out to Diagon Ally or something today. I'm bored being stuck at home, and James is off with his parents somewhere in Wales, and Remus is being moody, and I've decided that my boredom is more important than being able to grip things, so here I am," he continued as if she hadn't said anything.
"Who said that I'd hurt your fingers?" Kayla asked sweetly. So sweetly in fact that Sirius became wary. "Who said that I wouldn't aim lower? Towards a part of your anatomy that is particularly . . . special to you?" she grinned evilly as she saw the blood leave his face.
Sirius gulped and barely managed to fight the urge to reach down and make sure everything was where it was supposed to be. "But you don't want to do that! You- you want to know what it feels like first, don't you!" he stuttered.
"You're so vain Sirius Black," Kayla said as she rolled her eyes and got up out of her chair.
"Well? If we are to go to Diagon Ally today, don't you suppose that we should get moving?" Kayla asked as she got to the dinning room door and looked over her shoulder to see that Sirius was still sitting in his chair.
"Huh? Right. Sorry."
Sirius then got up and headed towards the fireplace. "So, just how much do you want me Kayla?" Sirius asked moments before escaping her punch by jumping into the emerald green flames and screaming 'The Leaky Cauldron.'
~*~*~*~*~*~
By the time that school was ready to start, Kayla had forgiven Sirius completely. The reasons were still unknown to her, but something about him just makes her feel . . . free. And the only other person she had ever gotten that feeling with was Lily, but with Sirius, it was in a slightly different way.
The two had met up with Aria, James and Remus in Diagon Ally to purchase their school things, Lily was still in Italy for the summer, and so she was getting her things there.
Kayla found out what it meant to be kissed senseless, and what it felt like to feel . . . boneless. One thing that no one would ever be able to deny was that Sirius Black certainly knew how to kiss. And boy did he!
But to Sirius' endless irritation, Kayla never let him do more than kiss her. Every time he tried to go further, she always pulled back from him, but he no longer pushed her. He found it was easier to live when he didn't push her.
Currently, Kayla was pacing the limited space in their section of the train, worrying that Lily was going to miss the train.
All of a sudden, she saw a beautiful girl with Auburn hair and sparkling green eyes in a emerald green turtleneck and black pants. Lily! She realized with a sigh of relief.
Authors Note! I'm not going to describe this because it's in Entranced, and I don't really want to look back to get what happened.
Kayla noticed Lily eyeing James, and James doing the same. They did like each other!
Suddenly, Lily, Aria and she decided to go and get dressed. When they came back, it dawned on Kayla that the guys had never seen the tattoos that they got awhile ago.
'I wonder if they'll note the meaning of them,' she mused as she watched with amusement as Sirius jaw fell when he gazed at her and saw the tattoo curled around her arm.
Later, after the feast, as they were all walking up towards the common rooms, Sirius came up behind Kayla and whispered softly in her ear.
"Meet me in our room tonight. Midnight." He whispered before stepping away and with a wink in her direction that luckily for him no one noticed, headed towards the Gryffindor common room.
~*~*~*~*~
Later that night, as the clocks around Hogwarts bonged the hour of Midnight, Kayla could be found in an empty room snogging Sirius Black to her hearts content. She felt his hands brush under her shirt and thought nothing of it. He then slowly-maybe as if to let her know what he was doing and give her time to pull back- ran his hands up her rib cages to cup her breasts.
'Oh, God this is heaven,' she thought as his hands molded and cupped.
"I love you, Kayla," he whispered as he pulled away, shocking her. Scaring her.
"Sirius-" Kayla whispered as she backed away from him.
