Ok, so I know that I said I would try to update quicker but….I didn't. =) I've been busy with assignments (I really don't like history right now. Or English ironically enough. We are doing essays. Bleh.) So I'm sorry about the long wait, but you can blame my teachers =D. I hope you like this one. It's about Lily and James.

Lily's POV

I paced nervously around the dining room. I had been doing this for the past half hour and wasn't even dizzy yet. Ok, I was. But I didn't want to admit that. Bloody hell, I'm stubborn.

Tonight was the night. And now that it had arrived, even after the weeks of planning, I was just about ready to have a panic attack. So much for staying calm. For about the hundredth time, I went over the set up again.

'Candles, check, good china, check, champagne, check, his favourite meal, check…..there's something missing….'. I finally stopped my frantic pacing and stood still to survey the room.

'Oh, right…boyfriend', I said to myself, rolling my eyes. Even though I was the smartest girl in my year, I could be so stupid at times. Stress tended to do that to me.

'It's going to be fine, perfect, even if you are the one doing it. But he was taking too long… ', I muttered to myself. I resumed my pacing as I waited anxiously for James to get home.

Another ten minutes later and I groaned in frustration. Patience was definitely not one of my strong points. Where was he?

Just at that moment, I heard the front door open and close. I quickly smoothed down my dress and checked my hair in the glass cabinet.

'Lily! I'm home', he called as he ripped off his cloak. I could here him kicking off his shoes and throwing his things aside as he made his way down the hall.

'Lily? Where are you?'

He stuck his head in the room and froze when he saw my elaborate set up. His eyes widened.

'Hey, beautiful, what's the occasion?', he asked as a grin spread across his face. He walked up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

'No occasion. Just wanted to do something special for you', I replied calmly. I willed for my heart to slow down. Its frantic beating was sure to give me away. James bent down to kiss me softly. Which definitely did not help with the whole trying to slow down my heart beat plan. I pulled away and lead him towards the table.

'Let's eat.'

………………………………………………………………………………………..

Dinner had been perfect, though everything tended to be perfect when I was with James. Ok, this is it. Deep breaths and just ask him. You know what he will say, it's meant to be. Just do it.

I stood up and walked slowly over to James. He smiled at me bemusedly as he watched my strange actions. Then I got down on one knee. And a look of shock graced his face.

'James, I love you. I will always love you, no matter what happens and I want you to know that. I want to make our bond even stronger than it is now. And for the whole world to know how we feel about each other', I stated passionately.

'Lily, wait-'

'James, will you marry me?', I presented him with a simple gold ring, I knew he wouldn't want any diamonds or anything.

James sighed and chuckled a bit. I started to feel uncertain about his answer. Maybe he didn't want to marry me. And that was why he hadn't asked yet. Oh god, I've completely screwed up our relationship haven't I? I tried to stop the tears from flowing but it was a lost cause.

'I-If you d-don't want to m-marry me, I understand', I mumbled miserably. I glanced up at his face to see him staring at me with a stunned expression. He took my face gently between his hands and wiped away my tears with his thumbs.

'Lily! How could you ever think that? Of course I want to marry you! I love you, always have. I just find it amusing that you beat me to the punch.'

I raised my eyebrows at him. He dug his hand into his pocket and pulled out a small, black box which he handed to me. I opened it hesitantly and discovered a beautiful diamond ring. I just stared at it, dumbfounded.

'I was waiting for the right time', James said quietly. Then I tackled him. James laughed happily as I kissed every part of his face and neck I could reach.

'I guess this means we're engaged then?', he questioned casually.

'You bet your ass we are', I murmured. With that he slipped the engagement ring onto my ring finger, then proceeded to pick me up bridal style and start heading towards the bedroom.

'I just have one condition to this whole marriage proposal', he said seriously.

'And that is?'.

'If Sirius asks, I'm the one who proposed'.

'Deal'.

AN: This one was a bit more on the fluffy and romantic side than the funny side. Ok, ok, a lot more. Hope you enjoyed it. Don't forget to review. Please. And if you have any ideas for a chapter just tell me in the review.
