Chapter Sixteen
Lily giggled as Sirius kissed her neck softly. It had been almost a week since she had made her decision. Sirius' hands trailed down Lily's naked torso towards the hem of her skirt, she stopped his hands and gently pushed them away. She sat up and leaned against her headboard.
"Is something wrong?" Sirius asked, his handsome face etched with concern. Lily shook her head.
"No, I just don't feel like it right now," Lily stood up and put on her shirt.
"You've been really distant lately," Sirius observed, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Sirius," Lily snapped. After seeing his hurt expression, Lily's voice softened. "I'm sorry Sirius, I didn't mean to snap at you. I've just been a little out of it lately," He put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer. He kissed the top of her red hair as she lay her head on his shoulder. Lily looked up at him from her position. "I'm really tired Sirius, I think I'm going to take a nap. I'll see you in the morning," She pecked him on the lips and started to change her clothes. Sirius got up and left the room, when he was gone, Lily abandoned the task of changing into her pajamas and sprawled out on her bed. For the past six days, Lily had been feeling, empty, like something was missing. She couldn't help but feel like she had made the wrong decision. Many times when she was with Sirius, she felt the urge to say James' name instead of Sirius'. And when she had time to think, the only thing that was on her mind was James. It had become apparent to her in the last six days that James was the one for her, but she had already made her choice. She couldn't change her mind now, not when she had already chosen Sirius. She couldn't hurt him again, although her heart ached for James, Lily still cared for Sirius a great deal and she didn't want to be the cause of another quarrel between the two friends or another heartbreak for him.
Most likely the shortest thing I've ever written, but its just to get something up and it reveals a lot and it relieves that horrible cliffie. :-D See? Big things come in small packages!
