Thank you everyone for reviewing. and to those who just read the story.
Lily runs into Remus and James' room when she hears James yell. As she gets inside the room she notices why James was yelling. Jenna and Remus are in bed together…naked. The sheets are all tangled and almost falling off, there's almost none covering the two bodies. What happened in here, how long has it been going on, why didn't she tell me, Lily wonders. Thousands of questions run through her head as she stares at them. James notices that Lily's come to see what he yelled about. Remus and Jenna wake up, they were asleep, they see Lily and James. Remus quickly pulls the cover so that it covers all of their bodies. He sits up, Lily turns away.
"Holy shit! Prongs what are you doing in here? You said we'd meet here at 5:00… I mean…Bloody hell…" Remus stumbles on his words. James turns away. Lily runs into her room and grabs a robe. She runs back into James' room and tosses it at Jenna.
"Here put this on." She says. Remus is already out of bed with his boxers on and he and James are sitting down in the chairs. "Come on, we'll go back to our room." She turns to James and Remus. "We'll be in there." James nods. Remus smiles at Jenna, but stops when he sees Lily glaring at him.
"So Remus what was going on in here? I mean it's not like you to do that." James asks him.
"I don't know, we were…I mean it just happened." Remus mutters.
"Never mind, Lils and I are going to the pool; you can come if you want." James says
"Sure. I'll be ready soon." Remus tells him.
Lily and Jenna get in their room. Lily locks the door; Jenna just follows her to the couch kinda senselessly. They sit down.
"Jenna what happened?" Lily asks. Jenna bites her lip.
"Well we uh…umm…we didn't plan on it. Don't think I'm a slut or anything. Things kinda got out of hand; he didn't make me or anything. We both wanted it. He was so sweet, and I have never been able to resist that. And…" Jenna blabbers on.
"Jenna, stop. You're blabbering. You don't have to explain why or anything, I just wanted to know what happened. I've known you how long and you never told me you were even thinking about it. It's ok though, I understand." Lily says. "James and I are going down to the pool if you want to join us. I'm gonna get ready."
"Ok, I'll join you. I'll change out here." Jenna says. Lily goes into her trunk and grabs her suit. She goes into the bathroom and gets changed. When she comes out Jenna stares at her.
"What? Do I look that bad?" Lily asks her seriously. Jenna shakes her head.
"No, Lils that's an amazing suit. You look great, come on let's go next door and get the guys." Jenna says. Lily throws on her jeans and a tee and they go through the door between the rooms. James and Remus are sitting down; they get up when they see the girls. When they get down to the pool area they peel off the clothes they wore. James watches Lily. Everything seems to go into slow motion for him. She peels off her jeans, pushing them down to the ground and stepping out of them; she takes off her t-shirt too. She notices James watching her.
"Whaaat? Why are you staring at me? Jenna was staring too." Lily asks. She doesn't think the suit looks that good on her. Everyone else thinks it looks gorgeous. It's a brown and pink bikini. The top ties behind her neck; it has ruffles along the pieces that tie and its brown on the outside and pink on the inside. The bottoms are low cut bikini bottoms, they have small ruffles on the sides (A/N: this is an awesome suit that I want to get. It's by Guess. I'm not good with descriptions.)
"Oh sorry Lils, I didn't realize I was staring." James tells her. Wow she looks amazing, he thinks. Lily, Remus and Jenna hop into the pool from the side. James walks down to the diving board, he dives in. Lily swims out into the deep end. Suddenly she feels a hand around her ankle, she gets pulled under. She opens her eyes and sees James; he's swimming up to the surface. Lily grabs his ankle and pulls him back under. She swims up to and breaks through the surface. James comes up a few seconds after her.
"What was that for?" Lily laughs. James laughs with her.
"Hey, you pulled me under too." He tells her. She splashes him and swims over to the side and looks over the edge. She sees Remus and Jenna sitting in the hot tub, she smiles. She feels a hand on her shoulder and turns around thinking its James. Its not, Lily looks at the guy. She recognizes him, kinda. He looks like a guy she went to school with before Hogwarts. He has shaggy, dirty blond hair that falls into his eyes. His eyes are a bright blue, so blue you'd think you could swim in them. His body is one that most guys only wish for. (A/N: think Chad Michael Murray, drop dead gorgeous.)
"Do I know you?" she asks him. He looks at her.
"Are you Lily Evans?" he asks her. Lily nods. "My name's Marcus Parker. We went to Troddendale Elementary together at one point."
"Oh hi, yeah I think I remember you. How are you?"
"I'm not bad, you?"
"Me neither." She says. Wow this guy is hot, she thinks. James watches them. What's that guy think he's doing, he wonders. She's mine. He watches them talk, he's on the other side of the pool. He swims over to them and puts his arm around Lily.
"Lils, why don't we go join Remus and Jenna?" he asks. He looks at the other guy. "Oh sorry, I'm James Potter and you are?"
"Name's Marcus Parker. Lily and I were talking why don't you go join you're friends and she can go after?" Marcus tells James semi-rudely. No one speaks like that to James, well only Malfoy and Snape anyway.
"Marcus." Lily says sternly. "James I'll join you in a second. I just want to set a time to catch up with Marcus here."
"Ok." James says unsurely. He's not sure about this guy, he doesn't like him. James Potter is jealous of this guy who Lily is only talking to.
"James, it's ok. I swear I'll be there in a sec." she tells him. She kisses his cheek and he jumps out. He goes over to Remus and Jenna and hops into the hot tub. Remus senses that James is upset.
"What's wrong James?" he asks. James doesn't answer; he's too busy staring at Lily and Marcus. Remus follows his eyes; he sees Lily and the guy. "James...earth to James." James snaps out of his own little world.
"James, she likes you, just give her some time." Jenna tells him, she noticed the same thing Remus did.
"I don't think that she'll come around. She's been really different lately. Look at her over there with that guy Marcus. I might as well give up."
"Don't, if you do you'll never get her and you'll loose what could be the best thing in your life. I see the way you look at her. James, there's love in your eyes." Jenna explains. He watches Lily and Marcus, Lily's laughing at something he said.
Meanwhile Lily and Marcus are still in the pool, leaning on the edge.
"So Lily was that guy your boyfriend?" Marcus asks. She shakes her head. "Do you have a boyfriend? I mean a girl as beautiful as you must have one."
"Ummm…nope, no boyfriend. Though my friends are very protective." She says. Lily blushes; no one ever tells her she's beautiful. Well James does, but he does it to get her to go out with him. Marcus said it because he thought it was true…right?
"Well then, I was wondering if you wanted to go out. Maybe for supper tonight at 'round 5:00?" he asks.
"Uh sure, why not. I should go see my friends, I'll see you later." She says. She hops out of the pool and goes over to the hot tub. Lily hops in across from James.
"So what did the guy want?" James asks Lily.
"Oh, I'm gonna go out to dinner with him tonight, just to catch up." She says.
"You're going out with him, as in a date?" Jenna asks. Lily shakes her head.
"Just to catch up, we haven't seen each other since I was 8. We actually use to good friends, but then he moved and we stopped contacting each other. It's ok if I go right, I mean we weren't doing anything special tonight right?" Lily asks. No one can think of anything they had to do so it was fine for Lily to go out. She just has to tell Mrs. Potter. "James, do you know where can I find your mom? I need to ask her if I can go out tonight."
"Ummm…she could be in my parents' room. It's next to mine and Remus'."
"Thanks I should go ask her now." Lily says. She gets up and leaves the hot tub. She grabs a towel and dries off. She wraps the towel around her and picks up her clothes; she leaves and goes to her room. Lily has a quick shower and gets ready for dinner. She walks over to the room on the other side of James and Remus'. She knocks on the door. Mrs. Potter comes and answers.
"Oh hello Lily, can I do anything for you?" she asks. Lily nods.
"I was wondering if it was ok for me to go out tonight with a friend. I haven't seen him in years and we bumped into each other today."
"Yes, that would be fine, though maybe you should take James with you. I don't know if I like the idea of you and some boy off in Paris together alone."
"I'll be fine really. I doubt we'll go far, maybe just to one of the places around the corner. Thanks though." Lily says. Just then she hears a man's voice in the room behind Mrs. Potter, it doesn't sound like Mr. Potter.
"Baby, come back in here." The voice says. Lily doesn't stay to hear an explanation; she runs over to her room and goes in. Jenna is back, Lily guesses that Remus and James are in their room.
"Hey Lils." Jenna notices the shocked look on Lily's face. "Lils…what happened?"
"I just went and asked Mrs. Potter if I could go out tonight and…and there was a man in her room."
"So?"
"It wasn't Mr. Potter and they were…well you get my point. What do I tell James?" Lily asks her. Jenna shrugs as they hear the door between the rooms open. James walks in.
"Tell me what?" he asks. He sits down with them in the sitting area. Lily doesn't know what to tell him, she doesn't want to tell him what she heard. It would probably get upset, but at the same time he should know what's going on with his parents.
"Oh nothing." Jenna tells him. "Hey Lils isn't it time for you to go meet Marcus?" Lily looks at the clock in the room.
"Oh yeah." She says. As she leaves she back at them. "Don't wait up."
"James…are you ok?" Jenna asks him. "Don't be down about this. She'll come back to you, if they go out she'll end up hurt. Maybe you, Remus and I should go out for supper."
"I think my mom wanted us to have dinner together tonight, I don't see why she let Lily go out with that guy."
"They're just friends James." Jenna tells him. Remus enters the room as Jenna hugs James to comfort him. He shakes his head, Remus gets jealous so easily. After that afternoon though it takes more to make him so. He sits down beside Jenna when James moves to a chair.
"So what are we up to tonight?" he asks them. He puts an arm around Jenna's shoulders.
"I think I'll stay here with my parents, they wanted to spend some quality time with me." James tells them. "Why don't you two go out? Go have fun."
"You sure you don't want to join us?" Remus asks. James nods, he goes back into his room. He grabs his guitar and sits down in the sitting area. Remus and Jenna leave to go out for dinner. He hears them leave. He strums away, James doesn't sing now. He doesn't feel like singing, just playing, it helps to get some of his frustration out.
