Chapter 2
They had been stuck in the Room of Requirement for about 3 hours now and James was getting bored. Lily was happily reading her fifth book. He had been doing his homework but cheering charms could only get so interesting. Wait cheering charms... he had a conversation with Lily when he was under the charm. She said that she would go out with him.
"Hey Lily."
"Yea"
"Do you remember the conversation from this morning?"
Lily looked up from her book with a curious expression on her face. "Yea, why?"
"You said that you'd go out with me."
"No I didn't"
"Yes you did!"
"No I didn't!"
"Yes you did!"
"No I didn't!"
"When I asked you, you said sure, why not. That means yes!"
"Yea but then you asked if I meant it and I said no."
James looked thoughtful for a moment. "But technically, we're still going out. You never clearly stated that you refused to go out with me."
Lily let out a groan of expiration. "Fine, then I break up with you now."
James smirked. "So you admit that you said yes when I asked you to go out with me?"
"No!"
"Then how could you break up with me?"
Lily buried her face in her hands and sighed. "Forget it; this conversation is going no where." She went back to reading her book.
James sighed. Well, it was amusing while it lasted he thought. He picked up his charms text book and attempted to read the chapter on cheering charms. James groaned in frustration. He couldn't concentrate. Finally giving up, James threw the book on the table and looked up at the ceiling. The one time that I get to spend time with Lily, she's reading her books. What a waste.
While thinking about Lily, James pulled out a half melted bar of Honeyducks best chocolate from the pocket of his robes and took a big bite (There's the chocolate I promised you ß I luv those simile faces!).
Lily thought that she smelled something sweet. Was that chocolate? Then her craving for chocolate hit her full force. "James" she said, pausing to choose her words carefully. "Is that chocolate?"
"Yes, why do you ask?"
Lily debated with herself for a moment. To ask him or not to ask him. That is the question (sorry, I couldn't resist!).
"Could I, well could I have a piece?" she asked shyly.
James looked thoughtful for a moment. "No."
Lily's jaw dropped. She was positive that he couldn't refuse her. "Why not?!"
"Cause it's mine." In truth, James was having fun teasing her. At least I won't be bored now he thought while grinning mentally.
"Just a little itty, bitty, piece?" asked Lily while giving him the famous puppy eyes. Ha she thought. He can't resist the puppy eyes!
"No."
"Oh just shut up and stop being selfish!" Lily snapped. Her damn craving wouldn't leave her alone.
"But Lily, this is my chocolate. I don't have to give you a piece if I don't want to." James was grinning impishly. She looks so cute when she's angry. Unknowingly, he had voiced out the thought.
Lily just blinked and stared at him. "Excuse me?"
The sudden realization hit James. He blushed and stuttered out "I-I meant that um you um looked um."
"Keep going" said Lily thoroughly enjoying James's discomfort.
"Hey do you want a piece of chocolate or not?" said James quickly changing the subject.
Lily immediately forgot what James had said moments before. "Yes! Now can I have a piece?"
"Do you really want it?" Lily nodded her head eagerly.
"Then come and get it" said James smirking holding the chocolate high above his head.
"You prat! That's not fair! You're taller than I am!" Lily fumed. She tried jumping up to get it but James was too tall. James was quite amused. This beats charms homework any day.
Lily unfortunately caught the amused glint in his eye. "You think this is funny don't you?" She accused. "Well I'll show you James Potter!"
And with that she looked up at the ceiling and shouted "Room of Requirement, I need a stool!" Magically, a brown, wooden stool appeared in front of her. Smugly, she stepped on it and reached for the chocolate. But when her hand closed around the chocolate, she lost her balance.
James quickly slipped an arm around her waist and pulled her against him. "Thanks" she breathed and made the mistake of looking into his eyes.
Suddenly, she was aware that her hand was on his hand that held the chocolate and their faces were inches apart. Those eyes...Lily thought while staring deeply into James's hazel orbs.
Lily's eyes look so much prettier up close James unconsciously thought. Those bright emerald orbs...
He too began to realize the closeness of their bodies. He began moving his face closer to hers; slowly...
He's coming closer! Lily thought frantically. But why am I feeling this way? I should be pushing him away and calling him a prat. Instead, I find myself moving closer...
And closer...
And closer...
And then...
A/N: Ha! I left you a cliffy! I'm so evil! So do you think that they'll finally kiss and admit their feelings or will Lily push him away? Find out in the next chapter of Chocolate. Make me happy and review! Only then I'll write
