I am just going to take the oppurtunity to answer a few confusions pointed out by a people about the last chapter. Thank you for pointing out to me what colour of eyes James has! I had actually no idea, I'm going to keep his eyes dark brown though, just since it's in the last few chapters. The question about when Sirius came in at seven when he was meeting Lily at nine, well...He decided they would go early lol, but thanks for pointing this out to me! Anyway, here is the next chapter! Enjoy xxxNoemiexxx
Lily
"Where do you want to go?" Sirius asked me with a grin as his arm held on to my waist gently. I bit my lip.
"You're tricking him Lily, you're using him..." My mind whispered, making me feel guiltier than ever.
"The Three Broomsticks should be good. They have some sort of karaoke going on." I grinned back at him, trying to ignore the stupid voice in my head that made me want to cry.
"The Three Broomsticks it is then." he winked at me, leading the way. I was too happy to care where we were going tonight. James Potter had kissed me...finally kissed me! Who cares if I'm a cruel and horrible person! Right now all I cared abut was the strange tingle in my lips which had started the minute we had been interrupted. And then he had asked me to meet him tonight in the Astrology tower...I didn't know how exactly this was going to be done, seeing as I was on a date with Sirius...but that didn't matter right now. I glanced at my watch and saw that it was only eight at night, I had plenty of time to spend with Sirius.
As we arrived at the pub, music pounded our ears as we stepped inside. A short and drunk wizard was singing to the tune of a muggle song called One Love whilst his wand threw sparks up at the ceiling. I grimaced as he continued to slur the words. Sirius laughed and began to whistle and clap as the song came to an end. I grinned at Sirius' playful attitude as we found a table.
"What are you having?" He asked me as the waitress began to walk over to us.
"I'll have a butter beer." I smiled at him, hoping that he was paying since I had no money whatsoever.
"Two butter beers," He grinned at the pretty waitress, before turning back to me. The waitress lingered for a moment slightly longer as she drooled over the younger guy, before walking off to get our drinks. I gritted my teeth and just about managed to refrain from slapping her. I continued thinking about what evil things I could do to her before I realised that something was wrong. Something deep down inside me was tying itself into knots. I slowly began to realise that this wasn't simply because of a dumb waitress, this was because of Sirius.
"You're having feelings for Sirius when you've just finally kissed James? You are mental Lily Evans. Pure mental." The voice in my head sighed as it confirmed what the feeling inside of me was.
Two guys?
TWO GUYS?
Lily what have you done?!
James
I tapped my foot on the floor, impatient to see Lily. I glanced at the clock and found it saying nine o'clock. Maybe I should go to the tower now...She might be back early from her date.
I realised that they would have only arrived at Hogsmeade an hour ago. No date lasted only an hour, not even a bad one...
I cursed my stupidity and went back to tapping my foot.
"Peter, you talk the biggest load of shite I've ever heard. Tamsin would never go out with you in a million years, let alone say you were 'fit'." I heard Remus argue with Wormtail.
"She did! I heard her say those exact words! 'That Peter is so fit.' I heard her Remus!" He replied with a squeak. I shook my head and continued listening to the conversation that I was supposed to be taking part in.
"Did she say Peter Pettigrew?" Remus questioned him, his eyes flashing slightly as the debate began.
"No, but I was right beside her! I heard her say it!" Peter retorted with an angry expression.
"She could have been talking about any Peter in the whole school! Like Peter Craigs or Peter Jacobs or Peter Williams or Peter..." He continued, listing the Peters he knew off his fingers.
My mind decided replaying my kiss with Lily would be much more fun than hearing my friends argue.
The touch of her lips had been soft, warm, teasing...Merlin her mouth had tasted so damn good...I had been on my way to dinner when I had spotted her on the sofa.
It had taken her a few minutes to register anyone else was in the room before she had looked up, locking gazes with me. I couldn't get her out of my head...And I hoped to God she hadn't forgotten me.
Sirius was one hell of a charmer, as he had repeatedly told us all. It wouldn't take long for him to move in for a kiss and then Lily would be his...
Lily
Throughout the night Sirius had been moving closer and closer to me. I hadn't really noticed until he was so close that our knees were touching.
"Lily...Would you mind if I...?" He looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I didn't understand what he meant before he began to lay kisses on my neck.
"I don't know Sirius...I like to be sure how I feel about someone before kissing them..." I murmured as he kissed my earlobe, my traitorous mouth let out a soft moan as my weak spot was found once again.
"Well I know how I feel about you...I know that I want to go out with you, that I want to kiss you and hold you..." He listed, getting closer to my mouth. My heart pounded in my throat.
"Sirius, wait." I told him, pushing him away from me gently.
"Not yet." I whispered in his ear, giving him a sad smile before glancing at my watch. It was already ten past ten. My eyes widened and I began to pack my bag.
"Where are you going?" He questioned me with a hurt gaze.
"I have to go Sirius, but I'll see you tomorrow in school sometime." I told him, before seeing how hurt he looked.
"I'm sorry, I'll see you tomorrow for lunch. I have an essay to do that I completely forgot about." I lied, standing up and beginning to walk away, biting hard on my lip.
"Right...I'll see you tomorrow..." I heard him say quietly. I paused in my footsteps. The least I could do was end the date well.
I quickly turned around and laid a kiss on his lips, not realising that this one little movement would make things even more screwed up than before…
The kiss wasn't rough, not as passionate as it was with James, but it still made me slightly weak at the knees.
"Bye Sirius..." I whispered, before hurrying out of the pub, leaving a young witch to continue singing 'All You need Is Love' in a high pitched voice.
And on to meet guy number two...
James
I stood up. She obviously wasn't coming. Sirius had succeeded and I had been left looking like a class A prat. I stood up, about to leave the tower, just as the door swung open. I turned to find Lily breathing heavily in the doorway.
"Hey..." I smiled at her, walking over to where she stood, panting for air.
"One second...Let me get my breath back..." She replied in between breaths. I laughed and pulled her towards me. I felt her body stiffen and her breathing stopped.
"Got your breath back?" I asked her in a quiet whisper. She fluttered her eyelashes slightly as she looked up at me.
"I think so..." She grinned as I looked at her lips. If she knew that I was looking at her lips with such intent, it was obvious when she licked them and bit them with her top teeth lightly.
"James...?" She whispered with a questioning tone.
"Yes?" I replied, tilting my head slightly.
"Hurry up and kiss me will you?" She grinned, putting her hands around my neck and pulling me closer to her.
"Lily, I want you to go out with me..." I murmured against her lips as we kissed with more real passion than I had ever kissed a girl with before.
"But you have a girlfriend, and I have a boy-" I cut her off at this point and kissed her deeply, not wanting to hear the word boyfriend escape her lips.
"I'm dumping Alecia tomorrow..." I told her, kissing her down her neck.
"Oh..." She said quietly, her body suddenly stiffening. I waited for her to say the same thing about Sirius, but she continued to be silent.
"Well?" I asked her, taking a step away and looking at her with a raised eyebrow.
"I can't dump Sirius-" she began, shaking her head as she spoke.
"Why not?" I questioned her, interrupting what she had been about to say.
"I can't tell you..." She whispered, looking up at me.
"Lily..." I said in a slightly warning tone, not wanting her to say what I thought she was about to say.
"I have to keep going out with Sirius if you ever want the chance of going out with me." She murmured looking at me with those amazing eyes of hers.
"Lily, you can't go out with someone you don't love." I blurted out, not realising I had just used the L word.
"James, you've been out with half the school and you've never loved any of them." She retorted coldly.
"That's not true." I told her, taking a step towards her.
"Name me one person you have loved who you have been out with. Alecia Spence? Jessica Briggs? Toni Coral? Emma Watts?" She listed my previous girlfriends.
"I love you Lily." I told her, taking another step towards her. She shook her head...not what I had been expecting.
"How come you never noticed me James?" She suddenly asked me, looking straight into my eyes. I paused at the question, not having a clue how to tell her I was just a blind twat…
"Maybe we should wait until you've loved me for six years." She commented, heading towards the door. I continued staring at her in shock, not knowing what to say.
"And I did your stupid essay!" She said, before leaving the Astrology tower with a slam of the doors. I let out a held in breath and decided that what I had just said about loving her wasn't true, even though my head, body and mind disagreed. There was no way I loved crazy Lily Evans. No bloody way...
Please R/R, don't hesitate to point out any more mistakes I've made :D thanks for all the reviews xxxNoemiexxx
