LAST CHAPTER

…Your mum she's the most beautiful woman in the world, I still haven't seen or meet anyone that even comes close to your mum." James looked down and saw that Harry was fast asleep, "Alright I get the hint, you don't want to hear me getting all slushy over her, fine" then he gently put him down in his crib.

Down in the kitchen Lily had heard everything.

Chapter 5

"That is him sleeping," said James coming down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Good"

"Where's Sirius?"

"Chatting up the neighbour," said Lily pointing out to the garden where Sirius was talking to a tall blonde woman.

"Unbelievable he finds someone to hit on anywhere," laughed James softly.

"Some things never change," laughed Lily.

"Yeah… I guess they don't," said James staring at Lily intently.

"Hmmmm…" said Lily then they heard Harry cough on the baby monitor.

"Uh how long has that been on?" asked James.

"Since he was born"

"Oh…uh"

"It's alright, it's nice that you told him that story. I never knew you weren't planning to propose. You had the ring in your dormitory," said Lily.

"My… uh mum gave it to after she met you"

"We had only been going out 3 months when I meet her the first time"

"Yeah and she loved you almost as much as I did," said James noticing just how close he and Lily were.

"So she gave you the family ring, when we'd only been together 3 months?"

"Yeah, you know my mother she always thought she was part psychic"

"Yeah I guess. You'll probably want it back, I mean it's a family heirloom… I guess you'll need it again one day," said Lily.

"No, no you keep it"

"It's yours, you should give it to your next wife… I'll get it, it's upstairs"

"No, it's yours, it will always be yours. I couldn't give it to anyone else"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, if nothing else I want Harry to have one day"

"Alright good, I love that ring"

"I loved giving it to you," said James lowering his head.

Before James could do anything, Lily had brought her lips to meet his.

He seemed to be unsure of how to be, it took him a second to realize what was going on and to respond. Lily wrapped her arms around his neck and placed his hands on her waist and soon they were, on her cheek and stroking her hair. Lily gripped her arms around his neck and clung there, certain that if she let go, she would fall straight to the floor. She could feel his tongue running across her bottom lip as the kiss deepened, and Lily automatically opened her mouth upon his, not minding the intrusion in the least. He was just as intoxicating as ever, she had missed his kisses so much She pressed herself against him harder, a groan escaping as his kisses became more impatient.

As soon as she pulled away, Lily felt her heart drop she suddenly felt as if a part of her was missing.

"Yesssssss," said Sirius bursting into the kitchen as Lily and James guiltily sprang apart.

"What?" asked Lily.

"I just got us dates with two hot blondes," said Sirius triumphantly, "You and me Prongs Saturday night"

"Uh I don't think I'm in the mood," said James, uncertainly looking at Lily.

"Come on, Prongs hot blondes… Oh Lily I…" said Sirius.

"It's fine. Lorraine is nice, so is her sister I'm guessing that is who you are talking about," said Lily.

"Uh yeah, I guess it's weird for you… you know after…" stuttered Sirius.

"What after being married for 6 six years? Don't worry it's fine, I think you guys would have fun," said Lily each word bringing a sharp pain through her heart.

"Come on, you don't even have to bang her, just amuse the sister so I can bang that one," said Sirius.

"Excuse you," snapped Lily.

"Uh I mean treat her with the utmost respect, and then when she is ready make sweet love to her… in a public bathroom," grinned Sirius.

"Like that is so much better," said Lily rolling her eyes.

"So come on Prongs please," pleaded Sirius.

"I said I'd watch Harry on Saturday night, Lily is going out to dinner with Clara," said James.

"It's alright my mother can watch him," said Lily.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah of course, she's always moaning she hardly gets to see him"

"Alright okay. But I'm only doing this for you, I'm not interested in any blonde okay?"

"Fine, fine. He'll change his mind though as soon as he gets a hard on, he won't care where he sticks it," said Sirius.

"You're being vulgar now," Lily snapped.

"Sorry," said Sirius sheepishly then he looked at his watch, "Anyway I better go, I've got a date, see you"

"Bye"

"See you later mate"

Sirius went outside and apparated, leaving James and Lily alone in the kitchen.

"Look Lily… I…" started James.

"Shhhh don't say anything," said Lily then she grabbed his hand and led him up stairs….

10 minutes later

"Whew wow," panted James lying down next to Lily on her bed.

"Yeah," said Lily. She had just had her first orgasm in months, so her mind was a little hazy.

"I… uh guess I should call Sirius and cancel that double date," said James.

That brought Lily right back down to earth. She abruptly stood up.

"Why would you do that?"

"Well we… us…"

"I'm sorry James, I don't know what happened… I just… maybe it would be best if we forgot about this…."

"Really?" said James crestfallen.

"Yeah, I'm sorry. I was just caught up in the past… oh forget it I was as horny as hell," said Lily deciding to be totally honest.

"Fair enough," said James laughing softly at Lily's total honesty.

"I hope this doesn't change anything… you know make things awkward between us, you know Harry and everything."

"Of course not," said James, "I'll just get going then"

"Okay. Are you sure? Do you want some tea or something?"

"No I'm fine. I'll come by on Thursday to see Harry"

"Okay"

And both of them went about their business, both feeling a heartbreaking disappointment, and the pain of knowing that they might never get the person they loved back.
