A/N So I have decided to do their entire seventh year, so it might pick up on the timeline. I'll try and make the transition smooth. Thank you all for your reviews…. They tickle me pink!! I'm upping the ante on the next chapter! 3 reviews for the next one are needed. I own nothing.
Chapter Fourteen
She snuggled closer to the warmth. Her whole body hurt to move. It occurred to her suddenly that her pillow just moved. She open her eyes confused, blinking in the blinding light from the window. She groaned, wondering why that hurt so badly. She saw nothing but flesh, tan and smooth. Lily suddenly became very aware of the heart beat against her ear.
"Lily? How are you feeling?" That was James' voice. Her mind was pulling blanks. What in Merlins name happened last night? She frantically thought back. She remembered going to Hogsmead. Her and Alice went to the Three Broomsticks. Sirius and Remus were there. Sirius and her had had a drink off… Oh sweet sugar quills. That explained the splitting headache. Now she lay in her bed, with her head on the bare chest of James Potter.
"What happened last night?" She didn't dare move to look at him. The tone in her voice told him that she didn't mean the entire night, just between them. She was concerned about what happened between them.
"Nothing." He assured her. She looked up at him, her eyes full of apology and concern. "Well actually… you did kiss me."
"That's all?" She seemed to be in disbelief that that was all that happened.
"Well… You were drunk…" James trailed off, words failing him. He didn't know how to explain what happened between them last night. He didn't need to, memories flooded her mind. James had rejected her out of respect for her. She felt so relieved and confused at the same time. Lily also remembered telling James she liked him. She was hoping that he wouldn't bring it up. That wasn't exactly the way she planned on telling him. James was now getting out of her bed.
"James, wait." Lily whispered, not quite sure how to express herself. He paused picking his shirt up off the floor. "I just… Thank you. For everything." She blushed looking down at her bedding.
"What are friends for?" James told her emotionlessly, then quickly turned and walked out of the room. He missed the look of devastation on Lily's face shortly before her silent tears escaped her beautiful green eyes.
A/N you'll find out in the next two chapters why James acted like this!! Promise. He has good reason, and I had to throw in a road block, they seemed to be falling in love to fast. Its only Halloween!!
