"Which one do you think she'll like better?" James Potter asked. In his hands were two bracelets. One was silver and linked together in what looked like ivy leaves, and the other was made of tiny white pearls.

"I don't know, she's your girlfriend," Sirius Black answered. He was James's best friend ever since their days at school, and would always remain his best friend.

"So, you should still know," James whined. His hazel eyes were full of concern about the present; he wanted it to be perfect.

Sirius ran his hand through his shaggy black hair and asked, "Why are you even getting her this anyway?"

"Because she's mad at me, and everyone knows presents are the only way to get a girl to stop being mad at you," James responded smoothly.

"What did you do to get her pissed in the first place?"

"I have no clue," he answered with a hopeless smile.

Sirius let out a small laugh before responding, "You are awful when it comes to woman. You don't listen to what they say, never have either."

"Hey, now that's not true," James said defensively.

Sirius had a skeptical look on his face while saying, "Name one girl."

James thought about it for a second before responding, "Lily Evans."

"She doesn't count," Sirius answered while trying to hide his defeat.

"And why not? I dated her for a long time."

"You fucking worshiped the ground she walked on, you were more like a stalker than a boyfriend," Sirius casually replied.

"Shut up," James muttered.

"Fine…I'd give her the silver one."

"Really?"

"No, I just want you to give her that one because I don't think she'll like it," he sarcastically said.

"I'll take this one," James told the man at the counter.

"Jamie, this is for me? You're so sweet," Emmy Sellick excitedly said while giving her boyfriend a huge kiss on the lips.

"You like it?" James asked.

"I love it, baby," she answered while admiring the silver bracelet that swung around her tiny wrist.

"Good," he said while pulling her closer for a kiss. She smiled as she slid closer to him, snuggling against his embrace.

"I love you," she said while grinning up at him. Her blue eyes were filled with warmth, and her chocolate hair was outlining her face in an angelic way.

He didn't say anything though, just smiled down at her, unsure of how to respond. He had said those three magic words before only once to a girl, and she never even heard it. And he wasn't keen on throwing those three words around when they didn't truly come from the heart.

She looked up at him expectantly, waiting for him to respond. "Don't you love me?"

"Love is a very strong word," he said with a small smile.

"James," she sternly said.

"I like you a lot," he told her.

Her face had a sour look to it, making her face go from angelic to hellish. Her lips were pursed together, her icy eyes showed more anger than ever before. She had her arms crossed tightly across her chest, and her breathing became heavy.

Before Emmy could even say one more word of anger, James lent forward and quickly kissed her cheek. "Sorry, baby, I've got to go to work. I'll stop by and see you tomorrow."

With a quick 'pop' he apparated away, leaving his girlfriend speechless.

After a few minutes, Emmy finally regained her composure. She looked at the seat that James had just occupied and heavily rolled her eyes. "You son of a bitch," she muttered.

'Knock, knock'

"Just a second," Lily called. She wondered who could possibly at the door; it was almost 11:00 at night. She quickly got up off the couch, pulling the navy blue blanket over her shoulders.

She opened the door to find Jason. She smiled up at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you, I haven't seen you for nearly a week, and I missed you," Jason replied.

Lily's smile grew even larger as she stood on her tiptoes to give him a light kiss on the lips.

He moved into the apartment and shut the door behind him. He smiled down at the girl in his arms, wanting nothing more than to kiss her; which he did. He expertly wrapped his arms around her diminutive body, forcing her to press against him. She tilted her head toward his, instantly giving in to the kisses Jason wanted. She could hear herself moan as Jason took his lips off of her own. She wanted him back on her, fulfilling her mouth's needs. Instead, he laid his swollen lips on her neck, kissing her intensely.

Jason reluctantly traveled the kisses back to her mouth, kissing her lips fiercely. He slid a hand down to her thigh, and his hand slowly made its way back toward her ass. Lily gasped at the unexpected action, and then settled back into kissing him.

They eventually made their way over to the couch, not taking their arms or lips off of each other the entire way. Lily giggled a bit as she felt Jason brush a few kisses near her breast, which only make him kiss her harder.

He slid a hand up her nightgown, caressing Lily's upper thigh. Lily felt a familiar tingle in her stomach, she always got it when things were getting intimate with Jason.

Just as Lily was undoing the buttons on Jason's jacket, Carina walked into the room. She was stumbling over her feet and fell onto the couch.

Lily jumped as she felt her friend's presence on the couch.

"Oh my God, Carina, are you okay?" Lily asked.

Jason got up off of Lily, looking at Carina. He despised her at that moment, he was so close and she ruined it.

"Well, I better be going," Jason told Lily and planted a kiss on her cheek.

"Bye," Lily responded.

Then she concentrated on Carina. Was she drunk?

"Lily, you wouldn't believe what happened to me today," Carina said, her words were slurred.

Lily looked at her, and asked, "What the hell happened Carina? Are you alright?"

"I'm just peachy! Now guess what happened."

Carina looked at Lily as best she could. "Well, since you aren't guessing, I'll just have to tell you." Carina had a goofy grin on her face, but it soon turned stern (for a drunken fool at least.) "I was at work today and my bastard of a boss came in. You see, he's not a nice man at all."

"No, he's not," Lily agreed.

"Who's not what?" Carina asked her, the effects of the alcohol forcing her memory to be impaired.

"Your boss, you were talking about your boss," Lily sternly reminded her.

"Oh right, I was. You see, he came in today to see me. Then he said he was lonely and tried to feel me up."

"Oh my God. Carina that's serious!" Lily shouted.

"Lily, stop screaming in my fucking ear for god's sake. So I told him 'no' and he fired me for saying 'no.'" Carina concluded.

"He fired you?" Lily was dumb struck. She couldn't believe that her best friend had been fired because she wouldn't sleep with her boss.

"Yes, that bloody bastard did. So I went to the local pub and had a marvelous time."

"Oh God, I'm so sorry," Lily began, but noticed that Carina had passed out, her head in Lily's lap.

Lily slowly lifted Carina's head off of her lap and got to her feet. She pulled her up on the couch, resting her head on a pillow. Lily then proceeded to take her friend's shoes off and gathered a blanket so she wouldn't be cold.

Lily then yawned, and went into her room for some shut eye.
