CHAPTER TWO: Dangerous Game
I feel your fingers -
Cold on my shoulder -
Your chilling touch,
As it runs down my spine –
Watching your eyes
As they invade my soul -
Forbidden pleasures
I'm afraid to make mine.
Natalia Gianinni. Nat Gianinni. Nat Black. Natalia Black.
Sirius Black. Siri. Siri-poo.
I gave a snort of laughter at this thought, which wasn't really a great idea seeing as Sirius was currently trying to inhale my face. He jerked back at the sudden explosion of nasal air in his face, giving me an incredulous look.
"Bloody hell, Nat!"
"Sorry…"
"What was that!"
"I, uh, I laughed," I answered lamely, crinkling my nose.
"That was a laugh?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Bloody hell… Was I that horrible?"
"No! No, of course not, Sirius! I was just thinking of something…"
"What?"
Hmm, let's see. My name with yours tacked on. The nickname Siri. The nickname Siri-poo.
I snorted again.
"What!"
"Sorry, sorry. It was … 'Siri-poo'."
"Siri-poo!"
"Er, yeah…"
"You're not gonna start calling me that, are you?"
"No! No, of course not! Bloody hell, no!"
"Good…" He then returned to kissing me, trailing down my neck and shoulders, where I had on only a short, midriff tank top. I tipped my head back, closing my eyes at the wonderful feeling, but my overactive mind came up with another, which made me laugh out loud this time. "Bloody hell!" Sirius exclaimed, jumping up and off me. "What is it this time!"
"Si-Si."
"What!" He scratched his head, looking rather amazed, but not in a good way.
"I'm sorry, Sirius… Sit down, please. Come here…" He hesitantly obliged, placing his hand gingerly on mine, as if I was going to explode any moment. The thought of this almost made me laugh again, but I held it in. "Hey, I don't bite…"
"Worse. You laugh."
I chuckled softly.
"See!" But he grinned. It was that devilishly handsome grin that I loved so much. Stupid grin…
"I thought you liked me laughing!"
"Not when I'm trying to snog!"
Snog? Try "inhale"! "Sorry, Padfoot. I'll stop laughing when you're trying to inhale me."
"What?"
"I said I'll stop laughing when you're trying to snog," I lied flawlessly. I was quite the actress, if I do say so myself.
"Okay, thanks." He returned to his work, pushing up the tank top and lifting it over my head, so that I raised my arms with it around my wrists. He kissed my chest for a while before moving down my stomach. He played with my belly button while running his fingers lightly down my spine, causing me to shiver and let out a girlish giggle. Then he came up and stared straight into my blue-grey eyes with his own blue-grey ones. I felt I could look all the way into his soul, but for some reason, I shrunk back, almost fearful as he began to unbutton my jeans.
"No, Sirius…"
"Natalia, keep your clothes on!"
We both jumped at the voice. It was Allie, coming back in with James – hand-in-hand. I quickly tugged my shirt back on over my chest and refastened my jean button.
"Yes, Aludra." I sat up, combing through my wavy red hair to tame it. "So, what's going on?"
"What do you mean?" Allie asked innocently, but I noticed that she tensed.
"That." I pointed directly at where James' hand held fast around her own.
"Oh, er, yeah. That…"
"Yeah, that. Explain."
"Yeah, Prongs, spill! I'm your best mate!" Sirius complained.
"Well, uh…" Allie began, but she stopped.
James quickly finished for her. "We're together."
Sirius' jaw dropped, but I raised my eyebrow. "About bloody time!"
"What?"
"Allie's only been going on and on about you every night her in diary since third year!"
"Nat!"
I feigned a look of shock. "Oops! Did I say that out loud?"
"Natalia!"
I shrugged, grinning. Remus opened the door just then, saving me any further trouble. He had his eyes covered with his hand, the other groping around as he stumbled in.
"Alright, Moony?" James asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah. Have they stopped?"
"Yes, Remus, we stopped. Now sit down, Prongs and Allie have the most wonderful news!" I batted my eyes playfully, which he seemed to stare at a moment longer than was necessary before looking at the pair.
"We're together," spat James, getting it over with quickly.
Remus froze, jaw dropping. "Together as in…?"
"She's my girlfriend."
"Merlin… Are you sure?"
"Remus!"
"Sorry, sorry. But why?"
"I…like her. And she likes me." I couldn't help but notice that his expression as he said this was rather pained. Allie didn't look much better. I decided to rescue them, but first I'd have a little bit of fun with this lie they were attempting to pull off.
"So give her a kiss."
James blanched. Allie turned red. Apparently, though, I was the only one who had picked up on the falseness of this new event. The others were just quite bemused.
"Go on. If you two are really together, giving her a kiss should be nothing, right?"

Author's Note: Hi, everyone. This is La Mariposa. You can call me Carp. Don't ask how or why, but it's short for Mariposa. Lol. Anyway, I'll be writing for Natalia Gianinni. And I'm very tired, seeing as it's 1:28 AM right now. So I'm gonna put this up now.
