A/N: See how fast I updated? It's all because of all the wonderful reviews you guys sent in. So I'll make a deal, if we can hit just as much, if not more reviews then the next chapter will be up tomorrow.

I want to apologize to my beta, Victoria, for constantly forgetting to send her the chapters for her editing. That's because I don't really see her as a beta. She's like a friend already!

By, the way, if you yahoo or hotmail, let me know that way I can add you guys up!

Disclaimer: Disclaimed.


It's our last night in Atlantis and I can't help but feel sad.

"You okay, babe?" Adam walks over from his bad to mine.

"Its just," I sat up. "I don't want to leave."

"All things come to an end." He kissed my forehead and I couldn't help but pull away slightly. "What's really on your mind?"

"I," I close my eyes trying to think. "I'm fine."

"You've been really distant lately. I feel like we don't even talk anymore. I mean you're here but I feel like I might as well be back home." Adam shook his head.

"I'm sorry," I replied. "It's just the thought of leaving my friends is finally sinking in and I know that its shallow but is it worth it?" I sit up and look at him.

"I can't answer that, only you can."

"Oh, Adam." I busy my face onto his shoulder. "I don't even know what I want anymore."

"Yes, you do." He lifted my chin and looked into my eyes. "You're just ashamed to say it. Everyone knows what they won't but no one ever really has the courage to say it."

"Hey, you two. We'll be downstairs." Lavender called from the other room.

"Be down in a sec." I called back.

"This isn't about your friends is it?"

I look at him. "Course it is."

"Harry Potter is finally giving you the time of day and now you want him." He said in a whisper and stood up from the bed.

"Harry always gave me the time of day." I said in defense. "Adam, look at me."

"I can't." He shook his head.

"Adam, please." I stood up and placed my hand on his shoulder.

"Look at me and tell me that you're not in-love with him." He finally turned around.

"I don't love him." I looked down at the floor.

"Look me in the eyes and say it." His voice was coarse.

It took a lot of strength to face him. "I don't love him." I shrugged.

"Don't lie Hermione." He shook his head. "I don't want you to hurt just because you can't be with the man you want to be with. I don't think we should be together anymore."

"I am with the man I want to be with." I said honestly.

I was with the man I wanted to be with, right?

He didn't look at all convinced with what I just said. "You," I pointed to his chest. "I love you."

"Not as much as you love him." He shook his head.

"Stop it!" I grabbed his hands. "I've never been this happy in my life."

"You could be happier." He shrugged. "We're not going to end up together, Hermione."

"How can you say that?" My voice cracked. Suddenly the wonderful week we had spent here just vanished into this air.

"Look into the future? Is it my face you see," He cleared his throat. "Or Harry's?"

"I do not want to lose you." I shook my head. "Don't let me go not now, please."

"It's in your hands." He shook his head.

We decided to have a quiet dinner to finish off our vacation.

"To friends." Lavender offered the toast. "Even the weird psychopathic ones!" We all laughed not really knowing who she was implying. "Sorry, Harry." And that was a dead give away.

"To Hermione!" Harry winked at me. "So that wherever the wind takes her, it'll lead her straight home."

I smiled at him. "Thank you. I will take this opportunity to make a speech. I will never forget our scuba diving adventure."

"Where Lavender decided to make out with the hammer head." Ginny put in making us all laugh.

"I will never look at sharks the same way again." She pretended to look sick.

"New Year's Eve!" Ron clapped his hands.

"Oh, we don't want to go into details about that." Ginny covered her ears. "Eew! Sister in the table."

"Jet skis." Adam and Harry slapped hands.

"Walks on the beach." Luna leaned her head on Ron's shoulder and the candlelight made her blue eyes shine.

"The cove!" Lavender put her hand over her heart.

"And the cute guy you met there." Ginny laughed.

"That too. And the guy we met by the pool, in the town, oh and the janitor was pretty cute too." She wet on.

"Lavender, eew!" Ginny wrinkled her nose. "You're not supposed to do every single guy you come into contact with."

"I do not." She rolled her eyes. "I collect, then select."

"More on the memories!" I didn't want to get Lavender on that mode.

"Bungee jumping!" Ron yelled, I think he had a little too much wine. His face was as red as his hair.

"Bungee jumping?" Harry huffed.

"Oops, wrong trip." He burped.

"Eew!" Us girls said simultaneously.

"But my favorite." Lavender wagged her pointer finger. "Is when Cho left! Sorry again Harry."

"That's cruel." Ginny crossed her arms. "But I totally agree." The two girls giggled.

"One last walk on the beach?" Lavender asked. "Please, please, please."

"Okay, so two of you are drunk. I guess we can handle that." I laughed. Ginny helped Lavender to her feet and Luna helped Ron.

"No Lavender. Don't even think about it." Ginny backed away from Lavender's face.

"I love you, Looney Lovegood." Ron smiled. "I love every single Looney part of you, especially your doe caught in headlights eyes."

"Thanks." She laughed. "I think."

"I'm going to marry you." He nodded.

"Let's not go that far." She lifted him.

"No, I am." He nodded his head. "I'm going to marry you someday. Yup! Yup! Yup!"

"I'll just go get the camera in the room." Adam stood up from the table and gave me a quick kiss.

"Do hurry." I smiled at him. "So the drunkards are way ahead, you want to go follow them?" I look at Harry.

"Sure." He stood up quickly. Before I could do the same he offered me his hand.

"Thank you." I smiled.

"So this is going to be the last time we are ever going to just bum together?"

"Harry, you just said bum." I laughed. "I think Adam is rubbing off on you."

"Perhaps." He nodded his head. I hadn't realized we were already so near the beach until the waves had touched my toes. "Look at those goons"! He pointed to the four who were already way ahead.

In attempt to remove my sandals I bent down but my timing as impeccable as it met with the waves allowing the tide to take my sandal.

"My sandal!" I yelled running into the water not even bothering about getting all wet. Harry decided to help. I've got to tell you it is not easy trying to get a hold of your sandals when the waves are coming in and when its dark.

"I've got it!" We yelled in unison. I felt a something hard hit my head.

"Ow!" I cried and stumbled. Harry did the same but for some reason he had landed on top of me.

"Hey."

"Hmm." I smiled starting to feel the wine hit. "I think I'm getting a little tipsy."

"You?" Harry shook his head. "Never. But we did get your sandal." He lifted it to my face allowing the droplets of water to fall over my cheeks.

"Ah!" I put my hands up to cover my face but instead they had brushed along Harry's chest. I quickly pulled back and blushed.

"You look beautiful?" Harry asked more than stated. He seemed be asking himself. He moved his face closer to mine but I made no move to pull away.

"I wouldn't kno—" Harry cut off my sentence and kissed me.

I always dreamed about what it would be like to kiss Harry Potter. And in those dreams they were perfect. I even imagined the situation, about how we would declare our undying love for each other and how I'd put his arms around my waist and we'd come together like pieces in a puzzle.

But it wasn't the scene I had imagined. In fact, it was so much more romantic. And the kiss was ten times better than I could ever dream about. The way he tasted like the ocean that we had just waddled in was enough to drive my senses insane.

You know how everyone just says there are sparks when you kiss someone?

The kiss we were sharing had more than just sparks, there were fireworks and a band and lots and lots of confetti. My heartbeat was so loud that it was pounding in my ears almost like I was about to go deaf.

Was it because his entire body was pushing against mine or because of the moment that we had just shared? Or was it because this was all I thought about from the moment I realized that I was in love with him?

At that moment, I knew, this is my first kiss. Regardless of the fact that I had kissed a few guys before it was nothing like what I was experiencing just now.

And in just a few seconds he pulled away.

He put a strand of my hair and smiled. "Wow."

I shut my eyes and tried to savor the moment. The next time we did that I'd try not to think about all those things that had just run through my mind and concentrate on the kiss more because it seemed to be so quick.

I felt my cheeks go pink.

"You're flushed." He finally got off me.

"Yeah, well." I sat up but felt my smile fade away when I saw the person I had forgotten about.

Harry had such an effect on me that I'd forget everything when I was around him. My world revolved around him, it was almost pathetic.

"Adam." I managed to breathe out. Instinctively I stood up and began to walk towards him.

He shook his head furiously and was backing away from me. "Don't even try to justify it." He turned his heel and ran.

"Adam stop!" I yelled and tried to run after him. It's not easy running wet on the sand much less with one sandal.

He kept walking.

"Adam!" I began quickening my pace.

"Its over Hermione!" He yelled and ran.

"Let me explain!" I called.

This sounded like such movie but I honestly didn't know what to do anymore.

"Please!" I cried but he kept walking.

The people in the hotel began to look but he made his way through and out.

"I can't talk to you right now!" He shook his head.

"Adam! Adam!" I was beginning to get frustrated.

He just kept running and running through the dark and I could barely see his figure. I saw a flash of light and heard the squealing of tires.

With all the energy that was left in me I managed to shriek, "Adam!"


A/N: Dun,dun,dun,dun! (2x) Now, all you have to do to end this cliffhanger madness is review! I'm giving you all two options.

I'll make him okay and end this entire story with the next chapter.

Something will happen and this story will prolong but still have its happy ending (maybe) and you can only choose this number if you promise to support (by reviewing) because I wouldn't like to do this on my own because it is so much more fun when you guys are there!

So tell me what you think because the sooner you review the sooner the next chapter will be up! Thank you!

God Bless!
