Chapter 4

'Whoa, what's with all this colorful smoke? And the... bubbles?!' Lily wafted her way through the multicolored haze to where the towels were stacked. Taking off her clothes, and dropping it carelessly on the white leather lounge chair and she walked towards the huge bathtub in the middle of the room holding one of the towels.

James vaguely heard someone open the door, underwater. But quickly dismissed it, because Lily was next door, and surely, fast asleep. He submerged again, and started playing around the bubbles and foam. He lathered some on his nose and hair, making him look much like a clown.
'Is it my imagination, but is there a woman walking towards me? Am I dreaming?' he tried staring at the "person" but without his glasses, his efforts were futile. Everything was just a blurry image to him. 'Is it an angel?'
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Lily stooped down and dipped her feet in the already prepared tub.
'Mhmm...nice. What a nice aroma... are my eyes failing me? Is there a person in here?! JAMES?!' sure enough the figure moved closer, and she flung herself back from the water.
"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! "
"GAH! Lily?! What are you doing here?!" James scrambled to put on his glasses as he squinted her, trying to make sure it really was her. "Were you PEEKING on me?"
"NO I WAS NOT! And you looking like a freaking clown for Christ's sake."
"Of course you weren't. I think I look sexy... you can't resist me can you?"
"I didn't hear anyone answer my knock so I came in!" Lily scrambled to get the towel around her, scooting away from the tub as possible sliding across the cold marble.
"You knocked? I didn't here anything, I was underwater."
"You dimwit! Why were you underwater in a hot tub?! You'll burn your face!"
"I knew you loved my face..." he smirked, moving closer to her.
"I-I... you know what, I'll take a shower tomorrow morning. This is pointless."
"No wait- I'm getting out already. It's all yours." James stepped out of the bathtub and proceeded towards the towel stack.
"EEEEEK! Cover yourself!" Lily screamed as she tried to cover her eyes, but it was too late. She had seen most of his body, not mentioning his very finely toned six-pack. And that down under... ( XDDD!!! ) James smirked as he moved closer to her, still towel-less.
"You've never seen a guy's body before Lily? I'm surprised."he leaned over her and plucked a towel from the stack and started drying himself off.
"If you're getting out- JUST GET OUT THEN!" Lily shouted angrily, but she couldn't stop the color rising in her cheeks.
'When did he develop such a fine body? Hmm Quidditch really suits him...' she tried to rid the images from her head, because if she thought about those any longer she'd have a massive nosebleed. ( )
"You know, I never knew that even Lily could blush in the presence of yours truly." He appeared suddenly close to her face, peering at her with his intense eyes. Taken aback, Lily pushed him hard in his chest, and made a run for it with her clothes in her hands.
"Just leave me alone!" she cried out, then slammed the bathroom door that connected to her room. He heard a click on the other side, and a few minutes later, quiet sobbing. He quickly dressed and walked over to her door.
"Look- Lily, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you or anything. Just... give me a chance this year alright?" he whispered softly, staying there for a few seconds before leaving to his room.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
On the other side, Lily sat on the floor leaning against the door. Tears splashed down uncontrollably. But why? Just the very presence of James would make her cry here onwards? Or him... unclothed? (hackcoughcough one happy Hoyin indeed 3) and he called her Lily instead of just "Evans" for the first time in all these years.
'LILY! Stop thinking about that! Shit ... nosebleed...'
Give him a chance this year? Haven't I given him enough chances before? Every time I opened myself up to him, the very rare occasions when I'm not smacking or yelling at him, he never grabs it!
'But you have to admit, he's hot. it's like, I'm seeing him in a new light, the way the other girls see him as. An incredibly sexy womanizer with a relatively charming personality. Not mentioning the great bod. He really grew up, and I'm such a hypocrite.'
"Apollo! What have I done?" she moaned hugging the poor cat, which woke up from it's peaceful nap to become Lily's pillow.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The next day Lily woke up to a gorgeous morning with the twittering of birds, and the delicious smell of breakfast wafting through her doors.
"It's a beautiful day! I feel like I can take on the world!"
Striding over to the bathroom, making sure James wasn't in there; she quickly slipped into the shower humming happily. Taking the towel and wrapping it around her, she jumped into the hot tub creating a little flood around it. Squealing like a little girl that just received her birthday presents, she experimented with some of the bubble bath tabs which filled the room with sweet scents.
"Surely you can't be a morning person?"
Lily quickly lowered herself and looked at the speaker.
"Well I can be a morning person over the weekends."
"Huh. I see."
"Didn't I lock the door?"
"Yeah, but for some weird reason, I could open it from my sides. Strange isn't it?"
"Uh-huh. Now get out."
"No need to be so rude Evans-"
"Back to last name formalities already?" she asked softly.
"Huh?"
"Nothing."
"I'm just gonna brush my teeth, unless you want me to go in there with you..." He whispered huskily staring straight at her.
'I hate those eyes. It feels like his eyes can see through me!'
"Do what you like." She said shortly.
"Seriously?!"
"No I'm not serious!!!"
"Well I am."
'Why is he doing this? He's scaring me.' Lily sank in even lower, hoping his eyes can't see everything.
