If I'm gonna tell it then I gotta tell it all
Damn near cried when I got that phone call
I'm so throwed and I don't know what to do
But to give you part 2 of my confessions

Lily drove home, her mind whirling. What was James thanking her for? Was he asking more from her than she realized? When she reached her apartment, she automatically went inside and, heading toward the shower, heard something she was unaccustomed to hearing.
It sounded like it came from the living room, but Lily was too tired to look. She stripped as she started the shower, and looked at herself in the mirror above the sink.
She was amazed at what excitement did to her expression. It changed her entire facial appearance. It made her more curious about her feelings for James.
As she stood under the flow of the water, hr mind started racing, trying to think about why James would thank her.

James came home later that evening, trying to decide what to do about Sirius and Michelle. Should he continue letting them do what they were doing, or should he just tell Michelle that he knew what she was doing?
Maybe he should just let it go, considering he was doing the same thing.
Hmmm, well I think I'll just let it go and act like I had no idea what Michelle was doing, James thought to himself as he walked into the apartment he shared with Sirius.
As he walked past the sitting room, he heard something that he felt sure was a feminine sigh; followed by a very unmistakable male groan. He was not sure that he wanted to walk in on that, so he decided that a cold shower would be just what he needed.
He headed upstairs, away from the sounds from the sitting room and toward the shower. As he stepped under the spray, his mind started to wander; after awhile, his mind latched onto the subject he'd been pondering for hours.
How was he going to convince Lily that he still loved her, and that Michelle could never replace her?

Be a man and get it over with (over with)
I'm ridin' in my whip
Racin' to her place
Talkin' to myself
Preparin' to tell her to her face
She open up the door and didn't want to come near me

The next morning, as Lily got her things together for work, she heard the sound of noise in the hall. She decided to pack when she came back, and headed downstairs.
The sight of suitcases and extra stuff hanging by the door was sufficient to give her pause.
She looked up as Alice walked into the hall, trying to check that she had every thing she needed.
"And where do you think you're going?" Lily asked, placing her hands on her hips.
Alice jumped; apparently she had been thinking that Lily was still in bed.
She looked up guiltily. "Um, well… uh, Frank asked me last night to marry him, and I uh kind of said yes, so…," she stopped abruptly as Lily started laughing.
"What is so funny? I don't find anything funny about this," Alice said indignantly.
"I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing for you," Lily said, putting as much emphasis as she could while laughing. "Can't you tell between happiness and laughter?" she asked, as she caught her breath.
"No I can't, Lily, you are always serious," Alice said indignantly.
Just then the clock in the hall went off. Lily looked up, and then glanced at her watch. She clapped her hand to her forehead, and rushed toward the door. "I'm late again," she said, forgetting her bag upstairs till Alice mentioned it.
She rushed upstairs, grabbed her bag and ran out the door.

James looked up from the phone as his office door opened. "Michelle, what are you doing here?" he asked incredulously as she kissed him on the cheek.
"What do you think I'm doing here?" she asked right back, sitting on his lap, and making him very uncomfortable.
"I thought you were going shopping today, which is why I was surprised, babe," James said, running his hands down her arms.
"James, here are the invoices you asked for," Lily said, walking in. she stopped short, taking notice of her best friend for the first time that morning.
"Oh, thanks, Evans," James said, professional at once. Michelle slid off his lap and stood up, fixing her skirt.
"Well, I'll see you tonight hon," Michelle said, kissing James and walking toward the door.
"Yeah, I'll see you later," James responded as the door closed.
Lily picked up the invoices she'd dropped in surprise, and stood straight. James looked tired, she reflected as she placed the papers on his desk.
"Lily, why do you look so worried?"
"Huh? Oh, I don't know, it just struck me as odd that you would call me Evans after all these years," Lily thought up quickly, feeling her cheeks warm.
James shook his head, knowing she was lying somewhere in there. He didn't know how close he was to the mark, and Lily didn't speak her thoughts.

Michelle wasn't exactly early and she wasn't exactly late. But she wasn't at dinner the time James had specified. In fact, she was busy doing something; her mother said when James called to find out where she was.
Just as James hung up, the sound of Michelle's coupe engine was heard. James sighed in irritation; his mind had been on someone totally the opposite of Michelle.
"James, sorry I'm late," Michelle said as she sidled in the doorway.
"It's fine; I didn't even notice," James said, taking off his glasses and cleaning them.
Michelle placed her hands on her hips, but before she could say anything, her cell went off. She answered it with her usual, "Hello. What?"
As Michelle talked, James felt lost and decided to dial Lily's cell number.
"Hey, what's up?" Lily said brightly, making James think something was worrying her.
"Oh, nothing," he said, brushing the thoughts forming in his head aside. "Well, I'm a little irritated with Michelle at the moment; but that's to be expected," he finally stated, his eyes watching his girlfriend.
"You lettin' her get away with what she's been doin'?" Lily asked.
"Well, yeah, considering I'm doing the same thing," James sighed.
He could almost see the smile in Lily's voice as she said, "Yeah? Well, that's interesting, because…" her voice faded for a second and then she said, "James, I'm sorry but Alice is leaving tomorrow and I promised to help her pack. Talk to you later." The phone went dead.
"Yeah, wonder when later is," James muttered as he hung up the phone.
