Hi my cheesy chums!

You hate me because of that cliff hanger don't you! Well your lucky it's my spring break and I have no life. Well that's not true, my life –and my wallet- just went on vacation to Florida to shop for winter houses, and my other bestest friend ran away to go backpacking threw Italia with her aunt. I took my vacation last week, and I GOT A TAN! Yeahhh! I no longer look like a complete freak.
L8R!

Chapter Six: A Diss and a Kiss

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

He pushed me away.

I have to admit, this was not something I had expected. I was totally shocked beyond mortification. I barely heard what he was saying "Look, Lily you're-" I just held up a hand and shook my head. And the lines flowing from my tongue that I was saying next was totally not something I thought would ever come out of my mouth.

"It's okay, I get it." Which was not true, I totally didn't get anything any more. Why the hell had I done that? ME! Of all people!

"Lily, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to snog you if you're going to regret it later." James looked rather depressed actually. Like a kid whose mother just told him he couldn't have dessert for a month.

I gave an icy laugh, and stood up, and started to move outside, back onto the balcony, it had its own furniture, a white bench with white pillows and gold tassels, and the too chair had pillows to match which just seem to confuse him more, "Potter," he winced at the cold voice that was coming out of my mouth, internally I did too. "I said I got it, okay, you didn't need to feed me some bullshitting lie. Just go away."

"What the bloody hell do you mean lie! That was the absolute friggin' truth!" He stood up and followed me outside.

"Potter for your information, I was not planning to have to regret anything until now! And the chase is over now, okay! I kissed you! Move on to the next girl and leave me alone."

"Move on?" Potter's voice level had dropped dramatically "Move on, form the most fabulous, gorgeous and caring person I've ever laid eyes on?" I didn't have to see his face to know that he was pissed. "What the hell do you think this is some sort of game?" He took my silence for a yes, "You do don't you? Merlin, the girl I have been trying to get for the last four years thinks this whole damn thing has been a game." He gave an icy laugh o rival my own. "Brilliant."

"It's not like you did anything to convince me otherwise! You've slept with half the girls in Hogwarts!" I stood up and saw him wince at this, "See! You don't even bother to deny it! Can you blame me for saying no? Your reputation is not the greatest one! And now that there's finally a chance-" I stopped; no way was I admitting that now. It was a secret that intended to take to my grave, I walk past him back inside.

"Now that what?" he looked like there was something that he already knew, but was waiting for confirmation. Well, no way was he getting that here. I opened my trunk, which looked rather small at the foot of such a magnificent bed, and grabbed a random book out of it. I was going to read on my bed until he left, ignore him, just ignore him. He would get bored and leave eventually. I closed my trunk, turned around and almost walked straight into Potter's chest as he stood not even a foot away from me. How the hell did he get there so fast? How could I not have heard him? "Now that what, Lily?" He was trying to catch my eyes so I deliberately shook off the hand that he had placed on my shoulder and tried to move around him. Tried being the operative word, as James then grabbed me and spun me around. "Now that what! Tell me, dammit!"

"Why?" I yelled back in his face "So that you can use it against me at a later time? I don't think so!"

"Then answer some of my questions!"

"Like what?"

"Did you mean it when you said you weren't planning on regretting anything?" He whispered as he took another step closer. In response I took another step back and looked into his now dangerously dark eyes defiantly.

"Yes." I moved around to sit on the bed. I swung my legs up and opened my book. After a few minutes I looked up and saw Potter staring at me, I realized that all I was wearing was the lacey green underwear that Evangeline had made me wear under the sweater and a t-shirt that Mrs. Potter had slipped me into. I could see Potter checking out my legs. "What." I snapped at him, causing him to look back into my eyes.

"Uh- No- nothing. I-" he swallowed, and shook his head, as if to rid himself of an annoying buzzing sound. Then he looked back at me with a set face, eyes blazing in determination. What he is determined to do I have n idea.

I rolled my eyes and went back to reading Pride and Prejudice the book I had grabbed out of my trunk and left him standing there. I shouldn't have been as surprised as I was at his next move, I mean I hadn't even heard him behind me when I was going threw my trunk, but I was. Surprised, I mean. He gently, but firmly, pulled the book from my grasp, snapped it shut and set it on the bed side table. Then he grabbed my legs and pulled them off the bed so that I was facing him. "Potter- what do you thi-"

He grasped my face between my hands and kissed me firmly on the lips. My hands made their way up his chest and around his neck, making him move his arms around my waist and pull me towards him. If you couldn't see my under wear you sure could now. He lightly nipped my bottom lip as he pulled away. "Everyone is swimming, want to join them?"

I smiled, "Let me change."

"Sure, I'll meet you back here in ten minutes." He kissed my lightly again on the mouth, "Unless…" he smirked suggestively.

"James, just go." I laughed, heading over to my trunk.

I pulled out my green bikini that Alice had bought me for my birthday. It was dark green, the same color as my eyes and had a bunch of exotic, colorful Hawaiian flowers embroidered on the breasts. It had a bamboo circle connecting it together on the top and on the bottom, I tied the shell- studded straps in tiny bows so that the ends dangled down my back. I was just brushing my teeth in the huge marble bathroom that branched off my room when James entered in black trunks. I slid into my white, bohemian skirt and we both headed down to the lake in the back yard.

Lily gasped when she saw it. It looked more like the ocean than a lake. She could she straight threw the bright blue water at the many magical and muggle plants at the bottom.

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

James's POV:

"We've got to swim a ways." James led her over to wear the others had dumped her stuff, dropped his towel and headed into the lake. "The others went into the caves under the waterfall. It's just across the lake, don't worry it's not…" James turned around and saw Lily wading threw the shallow water towards him. She's gorgeous. And she was. Her swim suit had been concealed by her towel and her skirt on the way down from her room, but now that they were gone you could see how well green accented her eyes, how the suit showed off her curves.

James, mi'boy, you got it bad. A voice that sounded quiet a bit like Sirius said in the back of his mind. He shook it away. Lily was staring at him, with a questioning face. Obviously she had asked him a question.

Instead of answering and sounding like a completely idiot, he took a step forward and closed the space between them in, what he thought, was a mind blowing kiss. It was just as good as all of the others, her lips burned his skin, making him want more. No, need more. He wrapped his arms around her, her fingers running threw his hair, making it hard for him to concentrate on anything. His left hand moved down, closer to her waist, while his right arm moved upward until he could finger her hair. He pulled her closer, and felt her breath hitch as he ran his fingers over the waist of her bikini. She pulled back smiling, and I smiled too, knowing that I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight with that kiss on my mind.

"Come on, let's see what sort of idiotic scheme Sirius has chosen to entertain everyone with." I took Lily's hand, causing shivers to run up my spine and led her to the water fall on the other side to the lake. I forced myself to look where I was going but more than once my eyes skimmed over her body. We past under the water fall into the caves that I had found with my sister Fantine last year and saw the boys plus Marcella and Alice sitting on one of the top ledges (A/N: think of this as a HUGE cavern with the ledges coming out of the wall like stairs, only these ledges are all HUGE, but all different sizes, think of them as about the size of you room each, 'kay?) Floating balls of light illuminating what every game they were playing. I lifted lily up onto the first tier, then we made our way up the rest of them, finding some of the trash that the Marauders had left around during our various expeditions. When we finally got to the top tier everybody hugged Lily, saying they where so happy that she was better, and yada, yada, yada.

"So, do you guys want to play our game?" Sirius asked brightly, a little too brightly.

Lily and I nodded to each other warily, then Lily said to Sirius, "Sure, why not. What are we playing?"

"Truth, Dare or Would You Rather!"

Oh Merlin.
