Thanxz for all of the reviews, you guys. I haven't ever gotten so many, just by having two chapters up. It's enough to make a girl feel the love... which I do, of course. ::Grin::

Also, I have no idea what's going to happen, other than a few parts of conversation and some of the actions.. red wine rocks man.. hehe. So... I'm pretty much just making this up as I go along.

Right, well, on I go, I guess.... yay?

As James walked into Lé Crunch, he noticed strait away two women sitting alone at a booth in the corner. One was a pretty red head wearing a short black dress with a flared skirt, and the other was a bored looking blonde with thick framed glasses and intriguing teal eyes...

"Whoa," Sirius said, leaning over the feet inches between them. "Check out the babes sitting in the corner over there. What I'd like to do to..." He was cut off by the look James gave him. "What? You don't agree with me?"

James looked over at his pretend boyfriend, his eyebrow raised. "You know, you really are an ass, Sirius," James said, looking at Sirius like he was insane. "And I know you're dieing to know why, so I'm going to tell you the reasons. A, because you are supposed to be my boyfriend, not some girl-crazy dog." Sirius gave him a smile at this, but James ignored it.. " And B, because those two people are my new roommates."

Sirius looked shocked for a moment, and stared intently at the two women. After a few minutes, he turned to James and said, very solemnly and seriously, for once fitting into his name, "Well, you're going to have a Hell of a time staying 'gay', James." And then, without another word, he strode towards them, leaving James behind him.

Sighing, James shook his head, his black hair smacking him in the face. He still couldn't believe that he had told Lily that he was gay. It had all tumbled out of his mouth so quickly, that once he was done saying it, he didn't even have enough time to feel abashed or surprised.

And then again with Sirius. Sirius Black, his best friend from school, the one who had stuck with him through thick and thin, had, of course, been his first choice for his 'boyfriend'. Granted, he was really the only male friend that he had here in the States, since he had left most of them back in England, but even if that hadn't been the case, he still would have picked him.

But everything had happened in a whirlwind since the first lie, but throughout the entire process, the entire notion hadn't really hit him. It still hadn't, to be entirely truthful, but James supposed it would happen sooner or later... hopefully sooner, so that he would be able to fit into his role better.

But for the time being, James was going to try and fit the said role as well as he could, and pray to God that no one found out. With these thoughts on his mind, James strode towards the table, a falsely happy look on his face.

"Hello," James said as he pulled out his chair, a grin on his face. Once he was sitting down in the comfortable dark wooded chair that matched the table that held glasses of water and many expensive plates, he took off his jacket, a difficult feat since he was still sitting. He turned back to them. "How are you two this evening?"'

"Well," the red head said in return, just as the blonde next to her said, somewhat loudly, "No. Fucking. Way." Hearing this, James was became very anxious, thinking that perhaps this woman had seen his on one of his many trips to the local bars that were notorious for singles 'hooking up'. He even started making up an excuse that would hopefully fool the two young women in front of him.

So it's needless to say that James was extremely relieved when, after Lily asked about her partner's use of vulgar language, the blonde went, "This is the James that you've been talking about for the past couple of days?"

"Uh..." Lily said brilliantly, a blush creeping up her pretty face. Though why she was so embarrassed was beyond James' comprehension. "Yea, it is. Why do you ask?"

In return, she shrugged, her jacket moving up and down as she did so. She was wearing a long blue skirt and a form flattering white blouse that was underneath a loose blue jacket. And though she didn't look like anyone that James knew, he felt that he had seen her someplace before.

"No real reason," she answered, her teal eyes roving up and down James' form. "It's just that the first time that I saw him, he didn't exactly strike me as the 'gay' type, if you know what I mean." She gave the still blushing Lily a look that made her face change to a color not much lighter than her hair.

Lily coughed, looking very uncomfortable. "The first time that you saw him, Mel?" She asked, looking between her companion and James. At his side, Sirius went unnoticed, something that didn't happen much when they were at a place full of women. "When, and where, might I ask, did you see him?"

"Nothing fancy, Lils," the woman said, shrugging once again. James noticed that her bun swayed a bit as she did this, and her chose to stare at this instead of the women in front of him. "Just at the bus stop a few days ago." She smirked. "He almost forgot to put on his gloves."

Once James heard this, he looked down from her bun, a dumb expression on his face. Her looked into her eyes, and was suddenly hit with the memory of sitting on a cold bench, his butt practically frozen, and a smart ass of a woman sitting next to him, smoking a cigarette....

"That was you?" James cried, incredulous. The surprised tone was more for the fact that he was highly relieved that she hadn't seen him at a bar, not because he was remembering her for any particular reason.

But apparently, she didn't take it that way, for she asked, quite indignant, "What?" Her teal eyes were glaring at him, and they were locked on his face, most likely trying to figure out his thoughts from his expression. James thought that it was a good thing that he expression was somewhat schooled.

"No reason," he replied after a moment of silence. He was very aware of Sirius and Lily looking at him, their faces almost identical. After a few minutes more of awkward silence, James asked, slightly perturbed at their stillness, "What?"

But before anyone could answer, the waiter came bustling over, a hugely false grin on his face. "Hello, I am Michel. I will be your waiter for this evening. Are you ready to order, or shall I come back later?" When nobody gave out any information, he looked between all of them, a hopeless look on his face. "Or maybe I can just order your drinks for you?"

Sirius, being the first one to regain his awareness to the situation, turned towards Michel and said, in a faux cheery voice, "Yes, I'll have the goat cheese ravioli, and so will he," he added as an afterthought, pointing towards James.

If Michel found it odd that James hadn't answered for himself, he showed no sign as he turned towards Lily and Melissa. After they both ordered (Lily with manicotti and Melissa with plain spaghetti), and Michel went off to find their choice red wine, they are got comfortable in their chairs, getting ready for the "investigation".
