So here it is. a long chapter. I hope you like it. see the word bitch is in it...lol
Chapter 11- First Kiss, new beginnings and a would be bitch!
'Sirius darling are you okay?'
'Yes why wouldn't I be?'
'Oh well you haven't stopped staring at that couple across the room.'
'Well...'
'Do you know them?'
'Yeah I do. They're from work but I don't like them very much.'
'Oh that's good.' She said latching on to his arm.
'You know you should ease up on that.'
'No problem, lets go see if they have a decent cognac.'
'Like you would know the difference.' He wanted to say.
'Come one Siri, lets go.' She said swaying closer to him.
'Drop dead.' The thought came to mind but he didn't voice it, if anything she might think he said something witty and laugh that laugh she has. She laughed anyway.
'How come I never noticed her laugh was like a hyena's. Oh this is going to be a great night.' He thought warily.
'Hey I don't mind. I am going that way anyway.'
'Thanks a lot Kyle.' Said Sirius.
'Its no problem, just drop of Sasha for me okay.'
'Yeah sure.'
'No its okay I can apparate back to my flat.' Said Sasha cutting in.
'I brought you here its only fair you're carried back.'
'I guess so.'
Just before this conversation was discussed Sasha had introduced Kyle to Sirius on his insistence. They had come to a mutual agreement an hour ago that they should remain friends and hang out but they have too much fun together than having any serious relationship with each other. So there they were now with Kyle volunteering to carry Sirius's date home.
'Are you sure about this?'
'Yeah man you too are closer to the bride and groom. We'll leave then you guys can do whatever okay. I have to get home anyway.'
'Okay well she passed out and I put her in the next room.'
After they arranged for her to go with Kyle Sasha and Sirius stayed behind to see Gabby and Brice leave.
When Gabby changed to go she to her bouquet to throw. Sirius pushed Sasha forward and she joined Anne and Lily there. The bouquet flew in the air and fell right into Lily's arms. Sasha would have burst out laughing but she looked so shocked that she didn't have the heart.
'Ready to go home?'
'Yeah, just a second. Let me just tell Anne and Remus we're going.'
'Okay.'
As Lily left James standing there she secretly started to panic. What should I do know? Should we kiss goodnight or is that moving to fast. Then again what if we don't what will we do and I can't give him a hug. What would that accomplish? Ok I am just going to go with the flow no matter what and then that whole thing with the bouquet just flying into her hand. Goodness.
Meanwhile James watched as his date walked across the room. If he was going to go through with this he would have to do what he has been telling himself to do all evening. Looking at her it was no problem that he could do it but they've always been good friends. They crossed that line once and it didn't end up well but this time it will go through perfectly if she decided to give him a chance.
'Ok I am back, Anne says we can go ahead and leave. She and Remus will finish things up here.'
'Yeah sure.'
When the two of them arrived at her flat she held the bouquet so nervously and her purse shook slightly in her next hand.
'So goodnight.'
'Yeah Goodnight.' He said stepping closer to her.
'Uh huh.' She said looking up at him.
And then slowly he bent down and kissed her.
It was like something exploded between them because then neither of them couldn't take their hands off the other.
Lily softened against his rock hard Abs and pecks, mainly his chest. Oh no soft. I am not going soft. And she ended the kiss. Both of them were slightly out of breath.
'Err we haven't been that err extravagant in years.' Said James glad at least one of them stopped but kind of disappointed that it did stop.
'Yeah. Um you know its not as if we're strangers.'
'Yeah and technically we're still on a date. Sort of.'
'Hmmm. Um would you like to come in for uh coffee.'
'Sure.'
Lily put the water to boil and rounded the counter and leaned on it to stand in front of James.
'You know I've been dying to kiss you all day.' Said James honestly.
Lily's head shot up.
'Really?'
'Yeah from the minute I picked you up.'
'Well um that's nice.' She said struck stupid by his honesty.
He took a step closer. 'Would you mind if I do this again?'
But he didn't wait for an answer. He leaned forward and gathered her mouth in his. Lily responded right away. I mean how could she after she loved and lost her first love. Kissing him seemed so right. One of his hands was at the small of her back and the other was working its way up her leg. Automatically she swung her legs around his waist. He lifted her up onto the counter step in between her legs without ever breaking contact and continued kissing her.
When his mouth reached to kiss her neck she said, 'would this be more comfortable on the couch?'
'Yeah.'
And with t hat he lifted her easily leaving the water on and placed her on the couch and they continued kissing her but this time he was on top.
'I think if I don't leave now we'll do something and that would be a little to far.' He said after ten more minutes of kissing, nibbling and nipping.
'Yeah I know.'
'I don't need the coffee. I don't think I can sleep after this.' Said James getting up and Lily blushed slightly.
AS he fixed his clothes he looked at the door.
'Well Goodbye.' But instead of walking to the door he walked to where she was in the kitchen and gave a hard but sweet kiss.
'We'll talk more tomorrow.' He said and left thinking he definitely needed a cold shower.
When he left Lily touched her kiss bruised lips. She never reacted like that before. Not to Alan not even to him when they were dating. Remembering their heated moment brought more chills along her spine. Pleasant chills though.
'Well goodnight.' Said Sasha at the entrance of the building. 'No need to walk me up.'
'Its no bother.' He replied stiffly.
'Fine.'
When they reached her front door they found a letter waiting for her. Sasha's name was printed in the front.
'Aren't you going to open it?'
'Yes but it probably from him.'
'Him? You mean that guy is still writing you?'
'Yes.'
'How many letters?'
'Just one more.'
'What did it say?'
'That he'd see me at the wedding.'
'Did you see anyone suspicious?'
'No that's why I think it's some kind of sick joke.'
'Just read it.'
'Your boyfriend ditched you for a blonde, not that I minded. The two of you are over I'm glad. So I saw you leave with another guy. I see you don't like him too much that's good because you only have eyes for me. You looked beautiful today; you should have caught that bouquet. We are to be married next don't worry.
From Yours.'
'You should really tell the authorities.'
'No I'm not telling anyone. You won't either.'
'Fine but I am worried this sicko might be mental.'
'He's not he just misunderstood.'
'Yes well I'm staying her till Anne gets home.'
'What? No way. Get out.'
'Sorry but I cant do that.'
'Fine.' She said as she unlocked the door.
As he sat one the sofa she asked if he wanted tea.
'No thank you.'
'Why do you care so much?' she asked suddenly after they sat in silence for five minutes.
'Care so much about what?'
'You know about the letter thing?'
I've been wondering the same thing. Thought Sirius.
'I don't know.' He said.
She got up and paced for a few seconds the turned to face him.
'Well just stop it.'
Now he got up too.
'Why should I? I mean we're friends or at least I think we are.'
'What's that supposed to mean?'
'Well you're always ragging on me.'
'I am not. You just don't like me.'
Then He quickly closed the gap between them and grabbed her by the shoulders and kissed her. And what got him was that she kissed him back.
'Now say I don't like you.' He said after he released her and she touched her lips as she looked at him. Just then the door unlocked and swung open to show Anne and Remus standing there.
'Are we interrupting something?' asked Anne looking from Sirius to Sasha.
'No why would you think that? Said Sirius.
'Yeah he just saw me to the door. Well thanks and goodbye Sirius.'
'Okay bye.'
'Hold up I'll go to.' Said Remus. He kissed Anne swiftly on the lips and departed with Sirius.
'We were interrupting something weren't we?'
'No Just another argument.' Said Sasha thinking it was partly true.
'Okay.'
And they both got ready for bed.
As soon as Remus and Sirius left the building Remus asked Sirius a question.
'What happened in there? It was so tense that you could have cut it with a knife.'
'Nothing just a little disagreement.'
'About what?'
'Nothing really.'
'I don't understand Padfoot.'
'Well just say we finally ironed out a few things.'
'Okay.' Said Remus but decided to drop the subject for now.
He just wanted to prove something. The kiss meant nothing. I can't face him again. I kissed him back. What made me do that? Oh goodness what do I do now? Nothing. I'll do nothing. Pretend as though this never happened, it was just a flux. It would never happen again. Sasha thought as she lay on her bed. She turned on her pillow and hugged her teddy bear that she had since she was small and fell asleep minutes later.
Lily lay awake on her side thinking about that serious make out session she and James had on the hallway, on the kitchen counter and then on the couch. Her thoughts went back to their dating days at hogworts. It had never been this explosive. Well yes they were only fifteen at the time but he had already slept with someone then but it doesn't count now. After they broke up it took awhile but the friendship they had before they dated was forged again. Even if there was a few jealous points along the way. They got to be friends again and even though she thought about him a lot since they graduated. They hadn't seen each other for over five years but it looked as though that old spark was still there. And what were they going to do about it?
Kissing her seemed like a good idea at the time. What if she reads something into that? Nah she would do that. She made it clear countless time that she doesn't like me and what do I do I kiss her. It was just to prove that I don't hate her that's all. I mean it was not as if I wanted to show her how cute she was when she was mad. Whoa where did that thought come out from? Nowhere man, you just didn't have a descent date in a long time one was too conceited, the other was well I don't know and then this one was practically a drunk. Jeez I sure do know how to chose them. Well I'll just go with the flow. I mean if she mentions it then I'll say something otherwise I'll have nothing to say. Then there are those letters she has been getting. Somehow I have to convince her that those are more than just harmless, I'll give it to the next letter if I can convince her to tell me when she gets the next one.
Lying awake and staring at the ceiling was none other than James Potter. When he got home he immediately went and took a cold shower. He was almost sure if he didn't come out that in another minute he would have caught hypothermia. Okay to him that cold shower didn't do much for him. It just made him want more and even though his teenage days ended four years ago it was as if it came back in full force. He thought being a hormonal teenager was in his past. Now he was sure he needed to talk to her. He meant what he said this has to be done for both their sakes. It was as if after all these years it was now time to finally be together. It was never like this when they were fifteen. Perhaps he really had told her about that stupid mistake when they were younger they might have still been together. They learned from their mistakes so that's why it would be better this time around. Complete honesty that's all there would be to it. Now that he worked all this out how was he going to get to sleep?
'Hey guys.'
'Hi, my we come in.'
'Yeah sure.'
'Are you busy?'
'No, why do you ask?'
'Well you see we have some questions for you?'
'Ok Shoot.'
Sasha and Anne decided that, well since they were practically best friends with Lily that she would share something with them.
'So did James kiss you goodnight?' Sasha said bluntly.
Taken aback slightly Lily still decided that she might as well be honest with them. At least to a certain extent.
'Yes.'
'That's it just a yes.' Said Anne.
'Well what else do you want me to say?'
'Oh well I don't know. Oh yeah how about how was it?'
'It was great. Better than when he was at Hogworts. Does that answer your question?'
'Yes it does. Now was that so hard.'
'So what about you? Did Kyle kiss you goodnight?'
'Well no actually. We kind of agreed that its better we stayed friends than anything else. We have fun together but what good is that when you want something more than friendship?'
'So he brought you home?'
'Actually Sirius brought me home. Kyle carried home Sirius's date. She was kind of totalled.'
'Drunk?'
So Sasha explained how the switch came about.
'And they were arguing when Remus dropped me off.'
'Again?'
'Yeah it was no big deal. We clash for everything.'
'Yeah but you two really have to learn to get along.' Said Lily.
'Don't worry I have a feeling they will.' Said Anne while Sasha glared at her.
Lily decided that if there would be anything to go on between them they should keep it a secret form their friends at least at the beginning, so that they could be actually sure that it will work out and they would be a permanent couple. She just hoped James would go along with it. Then again James didn't say if they were going to rekindle anything only that they were going to talk.
'Well James did say he wanted to talk, I mean what else could he want to talk about? What else would it be after they practically did it in her living room? Anne and Sasha didn't sense anything wrong with her and for that she was grateful because when they were there she kept glancing at the couch and remembering everything. Jeez I can't even admit what we almost did to myself let alone anybody else. Okay what if James told Sirius. I mean he tells Sirius everything.'
She stared at the letter she received an hour ago by owl. She sent back a reply and agreed to meet him where he suggested, at the park. She looked at her watch, which gave her only three hours to get ready. What was she going to wear? She has never really been concerned about her clothes and James never minded anyway, but still...
And she went off in search for her best jeans.
James went and looked in the mirror. After adjusting his shirt he turned his full attention back to his hair.
'Its no use.'
James stared at the mirror and his lips quirked into a smile.
'You can't fix that hair.' Said the voice from the hallway.
Since the door to the bathroom was wide open you can be in the hallway and see inside.
'It's a family curse.'
Turning around James walked out of the bathroom and into the hallway to look at the portrait of his great uncle.
'Uncle Harry it doesn't necessarily have to be a curse.' Said James to the portrait. He was keeping that portrait for a few weeks while his mother was out of town visiting relatives in Australia.
He was glad he was retuning it today, not that he didn't love his uncle but he can be a pain sometimes. James preferred when he was alive, but that was six years ago. He put himself in a portrait so he could last forever, that's why James was never sad when he had died.
'Well my boy in my day we had to have well groomed hair for the ladies.'
'But Uncle your hair is just as untameable as the rest of us.' Said James about the dominative genes that had always been in their family.
'Yes but you youngsters don't care about your looks these days.' James laughed but didn't bother to correct his uncle.
After delivering his Uncle back home, he went back to his flat. Gathering up his clothes from the ground he stuffed it into the closet.
'At least I was smart enough to tell her I'd meet her at the park. This place is a dump.' He thought to himself.
After he realized he should do this with Magic. Taking out his wand he did just that cursing for not thinking about this earlier.
Born and bred a wizard and he didn't even figure to use magic. Then realized that all this thought of Lily being in his apartment or meeting him had his entire mind so occupied that he forgot anything else in this world ever existed. After finishing everything he checked his watch and realized that if he didn't leave know he would be late.
Thinking fast he apparated to the wooded area of the park and walked out carefully. Seeing no one he went to the fountain where he and Lily were supposed to meet.
HE sat down on the park bench facing the fountain.
'Hey there.' Said a voice, which jerked him out of rehearsing his lines in his head.
Turning around he stared into the angel green eyes he came to appreciated every time he looked at them.
'Don't sneak up on me like that.' He protested.
'Oh come on I couldn't help myself. You looked as if you were enjoying some thought so I had to get you pout from la la land and into the present.' She said with a grin.
As she was standing there with that grin on her face he suddenly had the urge to wipe it off.
'Oh really?' and he grabbed her hand and pulled her to him and kissed her hard and sweet. When she responded he deepened the kiss know if he wasn't in a public place there was no telling what he would do.
Breaking the kiss he looked at her now smouldering green eyes that seemed to have deepened in colour.
Not wanting to but feeling the need he said what he'd wanted to say for a little while now.
'Lily I want you. I think its perfectly clear I do.' He said and watched her blush. She unconsciously twisted her self into a more comfortable position on her place on his lap while making him more uncomfortable. Then he continued.
'I want you and me to be a couple. Now I don't want to rush you and I know want those idiots we call friends would say. So how about we just go out on a few dates and see where that takes us.'
As if in answer she reached up and kissed him.
'I'll take that as a yes.' And kissed her back.
Since Gabby was gone for two weeks they hired a new person to work in place of her for the duration. The girl in place of her was Auror in training. Her name was Riana McCloud. Her background was Scottish but it was seen that the girl was a blond bombshell and of course Sirius noticed how could he not and so did all the red-blooded men in the office.
'Now won't you look at that?' asked Sara. 'Its like giving meat to a pack of hungry wolves.' She said particularly chagrin that she had all the attributes to deserve such attention and she was big as a cow.
'I know look at how they are staring.' Grounded out Sasha.
'Hey guys, it'll die over soon.' Replied Lily and Anne nodded in agreement.
Well thought Sasha it would that neither of them has any worries. And noticed that Remus and James was not in the foray. Well it was obvious that Remus was not going to do anything to upset Anne but what was with James?
'You guys are one to talk.' Said Sara. 'I mean Remus is nowhere near her and well Lily you should be glad to know that James isn't interested in her because he is with Remus.'
Lily didn't answer. Oh yeah she was happy that James wasn't showing that little Riana any attention.
'Well I am just glad she is shorter than me. Though that's the only thing I like about her.' Said Sasha.
Just then she broke away from the guys and came sauntering up to them.
'Hi, I think I am really going to like it here.'
'Yeah?' said Sara.
'It'll be so much fun.'
'We not here for fun.' Mumbled Sasha so only Anne, Lily and Sara could hear the sarcasm in her voice.
'They guys here are so cute, I mean Sirius is nice, so in is Anthony but what I really want o know is who are those to on the other side of the room. Did they know I was coming? They didn't even come to welcome me.' She said pouting.
Sara rolled her eyes in a way that said 'Who cares?'
'Well,' she said continuing, 'I think I'll better go then.'
But then she saw Sara.
'Oh my gosh. I have never seen a fat person before. Everyone in my family is thin.'
'Uh Hello Riana I'm pregnant.' Said Sara trying not to show how hurt she felt.'
'Oh well okay then. I don't think I'll ever do that to my body.' And she turned and left.
'Who the h3ll does she think she is?' Asked Anne.
'I have no freaking clue. She didn't even apologize to me.'
'Okay guys maybe we're jumping to the wrong conclusions.' Suggested Lily.
'I don't think so Lily. I mean how can't she have seen a fat person before. Didn't she ever go to school or whatever? I think she was just trying to take a jab at Sara because she thought that she was fat.'
'Yeah I think so too.' Said Sasha.
'You guys just be grateful she'll only be here for a couple of weeks.' Said Lily.
'OH I can't wait.' Said Anne as she looked at how the girl was wrapping herself around Remus and turned around to get her man back. James was gone apparently.
They rest of them followed at Sara's slow pace. When they reached there Anne was saying, 'Remus remember your Mother wants us to go to lunch with her?'
'Yes right, honey. Nice to meet you Riana.' He said and made a quick exit and the rest of them got back to work.
'Thanks goodness you came but we don't have to go for lunch with my mom.' He said the girls as they walked towards their desks.
'Well with that look you had in your eye I figured instead of strangling you for being so close to her I saw you were looking for a way out.' Said Anne.
'I think she is a little boy crazy.' Said Sasha in an angry sort of voice.
'Crazy she is.' Said Remus in a scared sort of voice that had Sara, Lily and Sasha laughing.
'Yeah well just don't talk to her much okay?' said Anne.
'Don't worry I won't. For my own peace of mind.' He said kissing her before going on his way.
