For Real at Last

A/N: Yep, here it is—the end, the last chapter, the finale. To those of you who have been with me since the beginning, J.E.A.R.K. Potter, griffindor-girl 12, NJ MacReiley the Helpless Romantic, and bri007, you guys are the best! To all the rest of you, I love you too I plan to start another story soon so if you think you'll be interested then put me on author alert. Love ya! You guys kept me going and I actually finished. Now, on with the story.

Three days. It had been three long, torturous, days and there was no sign of James. He wasn't in any of his classes or at any meals.

"Maybe, you should go ask Sirius." Rebekah, ever the voice of reason, put in.

"But what if he never wants to see me again?"

Rebekah just stared at her.

"Oh, alright, I'll go ask him."

Lily cautiously made her way over to Sirius, scared and excited at the same time.

"Uh…Sirius, could I have a moment?"

"Yes Lily?"

"Do you know where James has been lately?"

"In bed, but according to him, 'the depths of despair'." Sirius made those annoying little quotation marks with his hands.

Lily felt herself perking up a bit. "Why, did he say?"

"Again, according to him, 'Without Lily life isn't worth living'."

She gave a squeal and hugged Sirius about the shoulders. As far as she knew she'd never squealed in her life and Sirius was looking a bit stunned by her outburst himself.

Most people, still remember the day, head girl Lily Evans exited the Great Hall at a dead run.

Of course, only Lily knows that she slowed to a crawl as soon as she reached the staircase to the boy's dorm. It wouldn't do to rush in there all flustered and red. And there it was, his door. Strange, how intimidating it looked.

Was she really quite sure that James was the man for her? Yes.

And with a resolved air she pushed it open and stepped inside.

"I told you Sirius, I'm not getting out of bed."

Lily smiled secretly to herself and then pulled back his bed curtains.

"Actually, I thought you might like some company."

James's eyes almost popped out of his head as she knelt next to him on the bed and leaned so her face was quite close to his.

He was only in his boxers, which Lily thought was rather convenient because he looked so good with less clothes on.

"You see, I heard that my boyfriend, James Potter was feeling a it down so I decided to see what I could do about cheering him up."

She put one hand on his chest and the look he gave her almost made her side split from pent up laughter.

"Boyfriend? I thought you broke up with me."

"Well, of course I had to break up with you because we can't start a relationship on the wrong foot and now I think we should for real date with for real benefits and lots of for real snogging."

Lily was now kissing her way up his neck..

"Uh…Lily does this mean what I think it means?"

"Potter, do shut up. Sometimes you talk entirely too much, and usually at the wrong time. Like now, for instance. I love you and you love me, so let's move on."

She was making her way toward his mouth.

"You love me!"

Lily sighed, "We're not going to get to the making out bit are we? You're going to want to talk."

"Lily I love you so much."

"I heard. You were in the depths of despair."

"Sirius is such a gossip. Do you really love me?"

"So that's a definite no to the making out?"

He didn't answer her so she finally said, "Yes, I love you."

James put his hands on her face and brought it down to his. He then gave her what had to be the best kiss of her whole life.

"I haven't had a bite to eat or a shower for three days Lily."

She gave another loud sigh. "I knew it was too good to be true. I finally have you where I want you and now you'll probably faint from hunger.

He made as though to pull her against him.

"No way James, first things first."

"Lily, I've waited a lot longer for you than I have food. You just told me that you love me and that you have me where you want me, which I might add, is in bed, and now you expect me to just get up and eat after a turn on like that?"

Lily laughed and kissed him.

"I knew you wanted to shag me."

"Be that as it may, James I'd rather you have a shower first."

With quite a bit of grumbling he headed to the bathroom. When she was sure he was actually in the shower Lily toyed with the first button on her robes.

Really who could resist a broad shouldered wet James?

She sauntered toward the bathroom door.
