modrocker423: Ok, first I'd just like to say how sorry I am it has taken me so long to post another chapter. The holidays took up a lot of time and then the week back at school was murder. No joke. But now the schoolwork has started to mellow out, thankfully. Once again, I'm really sorry! Secondly, I would like to thank everyone who has reviewed on this story. I know there's not much to it...yet. ::grins:: But you guys have stuck with it and your support means a lot. Thirdly, I'd like to make another apology on how short the chapters are. I wrote these first few chapters so long ago. I'm not trying to make any excuses or anything, I just want the readers to know that this is not my best writing and once I start writing new chapters, it will hopefully be better and more your taste. Ok, so, enough of my babbling...
Enjoy!
Chapter Four: Car Ride
"I can't believe we're actually married!" Lily exclaimed joyfully, barely able to sit still in her seat. She looked over at James and saw him fussing with his hair, causing her to grin slightly.
"Yeah, me neither," James replied absently as he continued to ruffle his hair with his hands.
"What are you doing?" Lily asked in mock snappishness, her grin still in place.
"They threw all that rice into my hair...and now it's not coming out," James said in a huffy voice, making him sound like an upset three year old. Lily noticed this and her grin broadened. She then scooted closer to James.
"Well here, at least let me help," she responded and grabbed onto James' hands and pulled them out of his hair. When he gave her a questioning look, she continued, "I like the rice in your hair." Lily smiled and let go of James' hands.
"You think?" James asked, raising his eyebrow in mock surprise.
"Yeah...I think it's a great new look for you. Plus, I've heard that rice is a really good hair nutrient," Lily replied, trying hard to keep her face straight. When James gave her a look, however, she burst out laughing. James grinned and stuck out his tongue at Lily.
"You're so immature," Lily said, still giggling.
"I know...that's why you love me," James responded in mock arrogance. He flashed Lily one of the smiles she loved and ran his hand through his hair, causing some pieces of rice to shower down onto his lap. Lily started giggling once again.
"What?" James asked, unsure as to what Lily could be laughing about.
"Just...memories. You used to always run your hand through your hair when we first started dating, until I eventually trained it. My training must have slacked off somewhere," Lily said when she managed to stop giggling, although a smile was still plastered to her face.
"Bad hand! Bad!," James scolded, slapping his hand. He turned to Lily and continued, "Sorry, sometimes it just has a mind of it's own. Maybe you need to retrain it."
"Maybe I do." Lily grabbed onto James' hands and played with it for awhile before grabbing onto one of his fingers and bending it backwards.
"Oww!" James exclaimed, pulling back his hand and rubbing his finger. When he noticed Lily laughing triumphantly, he said, "Ok, now it's on" and began tickling her unremittingly. Lily fell backwards on the car seat with James on top of her while never ceasing her laughing.
"Ok, ok, truce!" Lily said breathlessly as James continued to tickle her.
"Nope, not until you give me a kiss," James responded stubbornly, still tickling Lily.
"James, please!"
"That's not what I asked-" James started to say until he felt Lily's arms wrap around his neck and her lips make contact with his. James stopped tickling Lily and rested his hands on her waist as he kissed Lily back. Just as the kiss started to get heated, the car door opened.
"Woah you two! Save it for the honeymoon!" Sirius' voice announced amusingly. James and Lily stopped kissing and looked to the car door opening, where they saw Sirius and Remus standing at the entrance, both with grins on their faces.
"We gladly will, Sirius," James replied. Before he got off of Lily, he bent down and whispered, "We're not finished here" in her ear. Lily's face broke into a smile, which James returned before he sat up. He grabbed on to Lily's hand and got out of the car before helping Lily out.
"Yeah, we'll be thinking of you when we're on the nice warm beach together watching the sun go down and-" Lily started to say until Sirius cut in.
"-and making out-" Sirius said until he was cut off by Lily.
"-and watching the sun rise in the morning-"
"-after having hot-" Sirius started to say until Remus elbowed him hard in the ribs. "Ow! That wasn't very nice. The full moon must be coming or something," Sirius grumbled, rubbing his side.
"Of course it's coming. It comes every month," Remus replied snappishly.
As Sirius opened his mouth to say something back, Lily cut him off by saying, "Now don't make me put you on a time out, Sirius." Sirius stared at her for a couple of seconds before an evil grin crossed his face. Lily noticed this and started backing away. "Oh no...don't you touch-" Lily started to say until Sirius grabbed onto her and threw her over his shoulder playfully.
"There. I believe you're much better up there, Lily," Sirius commented, grinning at Remus, who looked unamused, and James, who returned the grin.
"Sirius! Put me down!" Lily yelled, struggling in her hold.
"No, I agree with him-" James started to say until he was cut off by Lily.
"James!"
"I mean...Sirius, put my wife down," James said hastily. Sirius shot him a grin and set Lily on her feet, where she immediately slapped him.
"Ow! What was that for?" Sirius exclaimed, holding his stinging cheek.
"For being a jerk," Lily snapped.
"You better watch out, mate. Your wife's abusive," Sirius said to James.
As Lily started to round on Sirius again, James took a hold on her arm and replied, "Now Lily, there's plenty of time to beat up on Sirius after the honeymoon. For now, I think we should just focus on getting on our plane."
"Agreed," Sirius said hastily and scurried away to help with the luggage. Lily started to walk over to the limo driver to thank him until she felt James slap her butt. She squealed slightly before turning around and staring at James accusingly. She saw James holding up one of his hands while the other was pointing to it guiltily.
"I'm telling you, it has a mind of it's own," James said while grinning. Lily smiled in return before grabbing onto James' hand and dragging him with her to thank the limo driver. After the two thanked the driver, they joined Sirius and Remus and all four walked into the airport.
