Thank you to my reviewers. You guys rock. I'm going out to buy you presents right after I post this update.

Just kidding. But seriously thank you for the reviews.

I love you, don't I?

"Thank you, but I don't love you James." Lily fled back to her room. James just sat there staring at the place where Lily had been standing just a minute before.

Lily ran back to her room, tears streaming down her face. James didn't move, he just sat there. A million thoughts were streaming through his head. Then main one being why. He had thought that after all they had gone through in the past, was it really only three days, had changed her mind. But she had stared at him like she still hated him. He had thought that she at least liked him. After a minute he got up and vanished the lilies and the notes. He walked slowly back to his room, a single tear rolling down his cheek.

Lily heard his door close. She stood up and wiped her tears. She felt horrible doing this to James. And it was all because of Jesse. Jesse. The man she hated had never been out of her thoughts for to long. He had made her afraid to love. Afraid to love James. She thought she did. So why had she said she didn't. Lily stood up and walked into James's room.

"I'm sorry," Lily said.

"You have nothing to apologize for. You don't love me. I get it." James wasn't depressed anymore, he was angry. He had told Lily what he had felt and she had rejected him.

"No it's not like that."

"Then, please explain for me. What is it like? Having a guy say he loves you and then just turning him down like that. Without even an explanation."

"James, I didn't mean to hurt you."

"Really, cause you did a good job."

"But I do love you, or at least I think I do."

That shut James up for a second. But only for a second. "Then why didn't you say so before?"

"Because I was afraid, okay." Lily was shouting by this time. What right did James have to get mad at her? "Afraid that I was actually starting to love a guy. After Jesse I hated guys. I swore never to trust one again. And when I did trust someone I felt like I had to pull away. I'm sorry okay. You don't deserve this." Lily stomped out of the room. She wasn't crying. She wasn't any where near it. She started to run down the stairs, noticing that the lilies were gone. So James really was mad at her.

"Stop!" James had followed her. "You don't get it do you, Lily?. I want you to be able to trust me. I want to be here for you. Just give me a chance." he was right next to her now. "Just give me the chance." he was repeated, he was whispering now. He covered her hand with his and looked Lily in the eyes. "And I'll show you that I'm different." Lily looked him in the eyes. She knew that he was telling the truth, so why did it feel so wrong. "Okay," she agreed. James leaned down to kiss her but Lily flinched and drew away. "Not yet." James looked frustrated but he complied.

"Breakfast?" he asked, completely out of the blue.

"Only if you cook." Lily bantered.

"Awww, lilikens, you know I can't cook."

"Lilikens?" Lily asked questionably.

"Yeah! Now that we're dating I figured that I was allowed to give you a nickname."

"And you choose lilikens?"

"You don't like it? I suppose I could always call you baby doll or honeykins."

"And I can call you Jamie pie or honey poo."

"Point taken. So what am I allowed to call you?"

"Well since we haven't actually been on a date yet, or for that matter been "dating" for more then a minute try Lily."

"Well the as for the second part of your argument that will just take time. As for the first part I can solve that tonight."

"Why, what are you going to do?"

"Wait and see, sweetheart."

"Lily."

"Lily." James amended his last sentence. "And all of this leads us back to the subject of breakfast."

"Only if you cook." Lily repeated.

"But I can't cook."

"How do I get the feeling that we've been here before."

"Who knows? I might recognize that staircase but I'll have to check to be sure."

"Cute," Lily grumbled. "So what were you going to do if I hadn't have been here."

"Starved to death."

"You would have done the world a favour."

"That hurt." James grabbed his heart and pretended to faint.

"Fine," Lily said. "I'll cook."

A half hour later James was attempting to choke down Lily's 'cooking' if you could call it that. "What is this supposed to be, Lily? I mean, I know that you said you love me, but did something change your mind? Are you trying to kill me?" James stopped attempting to eat the meal.

"Ha ha." Lily said sarcastically. "I never actually learned to cook most foods. Spaghetti and Mac and Cheese is about the extent of it. Can you do better."

"Well no," James admitted sheepishly. "However by magical means…………" James waved his wand and suddenly a huge meal appeared before them.

"Why didn't you just do that before?" Lily asked, frustrated that she had done all of that of that work for nothing.

"Well technically I did on the roof, but you didn't seem to want that breakfast."

"Oh," was all that Lily could say to that. They finished the meal in silence.

"Okay," James said standing up. "What do you want to do next."

"Well going for a swim in the pool, preferably in a swimsuit instead of clothes this time, sounds good."

"Okay, there should be a spare swimsuit in cabinet by the pool." To demonstrate this James waved his wand again and all of the dishes were gone. Then he went and got the swimsuit for Lily. Lily didn't exactly like it.

The swimsuit in question was a two-piece. It was white and contained only about a square foot of fabric. Total. Lily expressed her opinion to James, loudly. She then waved her wand and it changed into an one-piece. "There," Lily said satisfied. She walked into the bathroom and changed. She dived into the pool and then swum a lap. Then she looked up at James expectantly. "Well aren't you going to get in." "Nah, I prefer to stand here and watch you." Lily splashed him with water. James jumped back, the water barely missing him. He stuck out his tongue like a five-year-old. "Missed me, missed me. Now you got to kiss me." "Come over here and I will." James walked over and kneeled by her. "Hah! You fell for it." Lily splashed him. This time she succeeded in making his entire outfit soaked. James just looked at her shocked. "No you didn't." He jumped in the pool fully clothed and tackled Lily.

A/N

Sorry the chapter wasn't that good. The ending to the last chapter seemed like a good idea at the time, but in retrospect it really wasn't. I couldn't think of anything good to write after it. I now hate the last ending as much as any of you. I also hate summer break now. All my friends are out of town so I have no one to talk to. That is good for my updating rate though.
