Chapter 6: Choices

Several days had passed since they had shared dinner, and James was constantly over at Sirius and Lily's apartment, to the delight of Lily.

James and Sirius spent most of their time together, chatting and catching up with each other, playing a game of wizard chess and even when they got really bored they played a game of gobstones.

While they spent time with each other, Lily would avoid them. She constantly said that she was having lunch with Paula or Jackie or even Remus, and she was persistently doing paper work or working at the Ministry. Lily found it too hard to be around two men that she loves so much, that she can't choose between the two of them.

She knew she had to make a choice sooner or later, because she couldn't go on like this, avoiding the men she loved. She had different feeling for both of them.

With Sirius, she loved him very much. It was the sort of comforting love, where she knew that she was safe with him. Of course they had a lot of fun in their relationship. He constantly made Lily laugh, whether he was trying to be funny or not, he always seemed to place a smile on Lily's face. Sirius was handsome all right, he had the features of a god. With his long, dark hair, and his eyes, like pools of chocolate, that Lily felt she could melt into. His facial features weren't also what girls loved about Sirius, it was his charm, his sense of humor, his cheekiness and not to mention his body.

James on the other hand, was similar yet very different from Sirius. When James and Lily had been going out there had been a whole lot of passion and love. It was hard to explain, but whenever they made contact with each other, there was a spark, that sent warmth to spread through her body. James was very sincere with Lily, Lily knew everything about James and visa versa. James shared the same good-looking features. With his messy but cute raven hair, that gave him that muddled boyish look, his hazel eyes that were always hidden behind a pair of round-rimmed glasses. Girls went for him, because they knew they would receive the loving attention that was expected from a great relationship.

Now all Lily had to do was choose.

It was a stormy Wednesday night, James and Sirius were playing a quiet game of chess, while drinking mugs of coffee and Lily was sitting on the couch reading a book, which she had borrowed, from Remus.

There was silence, until James broke it, "Lily, what book are you reading?"

"Um, The Wizard and the Omen, by Meredith McKenzie," said Lily, as she looked up at him.

"Okay, never heard of it," James said, smiling as he took one of Sirius' pawns away.

"Damn, Prongs, you've always been able to beat me at this!" Sirius complained, loudly.

"I'll tell you why you never win, Padfoot. You don't have any strategies. You just go in there and play, without thinking of your actions," said James, smiling broadly at Sirius.

Lily could not stop herself from laughing, she let out a small laugh, but stopped once she saw the glare from Sirius.

James winked cheekily at Lily, saying, "It's true, isn't it, Lily?"

Lily shrugged, not sure who to take sides with.

James smiled, as he ordered his king to take Sirius' king.

"I won, I put you out of your miseries, Sirius," James said, laughing as he stood up, dusting his robes off.

Sirius stood up, and said, "I'm going to bed then. Goodnight Lily," he stood up and kissed her cheek softly.

"G'night, James," said Sirius, angrily, as he stormed off to the bedroom.

Lily laughed, shaking his head, "He doesn't like losing," she said, as she put her book down, placing her bookmark in.

"I know, he's always been like that," said James.

Lily nodded, standing up.

There was an awkward silence before James broke it, "I better get going then," he said.

He leant forward to kiss Lily on the cheek, but Lily turned her head slightly in a split second. James' lips landed on Lily's.

They both froze, staring at each other.

James placed a soft kiss on her lips, before he pulled back quickly.

"I'll see you later," he said hurriedly, as he apparated out of the room.

"Okay," Lily said quietly, as she placed her fingers over her lips, where James had placed the kiss.
