A/N: Here it is, drabble number three. Review please? Tomorrow's my birthday, you know. Enjoy!
"I hope and pray each day I live
A little more love I'll have to give
A little more love that's devoted and true
'Cause all I do is think about you"
All I do- Stevie Wonder
Trying Not To Blow
"Fancy a trip to Hogsmead with me, Evans?"
The reply was instantaneous, expected and harsh.
"No."
"Not even-"
"No."
"What if-"
"Merlin, James. NO."
It sure wasn't the worst of her refusals, or the wittiest, but it got the message across clear and strong. No.
The word stung, like so many others before it. So many refusals, which one would be the straw to break the camels back?
James wasn't sure when his fuse would blow, when the pressure would be too much and he would just pop! It wouldn't be pretty, that was for sure.
So, for now, he could just hope. Hope that there was a sliver of a chance that she might just not say no.
And he could try not to blow.
