Chapter 6: The Spy is…
The next night Paula, Sasha, and Emily went home. So now there were only six girls left in the house. Tensions were running high as some girls began to fall in love with James. Of course, I had strong feelings for him, but I was becoming fonder of him every day.
I lay back in my bed and sighed. I missed Emily greatly. She turned out to be a wonderful friend. Emily promised to call and write to me. Sleep soon over took me but someone burst into the room and pushed back the drapes to reveal a bright sunshine. Jocelyn peeked over my bed.
"Lily wake up!" she whispered excitedly.
I yawned. "What?"
"James is coming to spend the day with all of us!" she exclaimed. I think she was head over heels for James.
"When?"
"In ten minutes."
"Wake me up when he gets here," I said drifting off to sleep once again.
"Okay," whispered Jocelyn and she quietly exited the room.

Dream
The sun was shining outside as I rocked back and forth in the hammock. My eyelids fluttered closed. Something warm grabbed my hand and I smiled.
I opened my eyes and used my other hand to shield my eyes from the bright sun.
"Hey beautiful," he said.
"Hey," I said softly.
"You have enough room on there for me to?" he asked.
I laughed and patted the spot next to me. He climbed onto the hammock and laid his arm across me. He grabbed my hand that was lying on my stomach and played with my fingers. Then he laced our fingers and rested his head against mine. He turned my head so I was looking at him. I strained my neck forward and planted a juicy kiss on his lips. Apparently he wasn't done …
End of Dream
I awoke to someone opening the door quietly. I kept my eyes shut and rolled over, hoping they would go away. Someone crawled into my bed with me. Why would Jocelyn lay in bed with me? I freaked out, so I turned around. But instead of Jocelyn, James was staring back at me. His hazel eyes bore into mine.
"Bloody hell James!" I exclaimed, "You scared me!"
"Who did you think I was?" he laughed.
"One of the girls, which is a scary thought," I said. "What are you doing here?"
"Jocelyn told me to come wake you up," he smiled his famous lopsided grin.
"Well isn't she an ass," I smiled.
"Do you want me to leave?" he asked uncertainly.
"No, you can stay if you want," I said turning back around.
He didn't move, but he did slip one arm around my waist. My eyes bolted open. He pulled me closer and I relaxed. James sat there running his hands through my knotty hair. I was so at peace, I could have fallen asleep again. We sat there for sometime, just comfortable in the presence with each other. All a sudden I was completely awake. I turned back around and pushed myself up. James' arm was still looped around my waist.
He smiled. "Finally awake?"
"Somewhat."
"I had a lot of fun on our date," he whispered inching his head closer to mine.
"Me too," I said softly looking into his gorgeous hazel eyes. He had the most gorgeous eyes on the face of this planet.
"We'll have to go on another one soon," he said even softer.
I nodded. "Yes, yes we will."
He leaned in closer and brushed a piece of flyaway hair out of my eyes.
"Your eyes are beautiful," he whispered.
I blushed looking away. James put his hand underneath my chin and turned my head back to him. Our eyes locked and there was a familiar twinkle in them. Something all too familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it.
"Don't feel ashamed of your beauty."
Everything about this show vanished. There weren't five other beautiful women competing for his heart. We were long lost lovers rekindling the fire that was once blown out. He stroked my cheek softly. My skin scorched. He leaned in once more and our lips touched. At the faintest touch, fireworks exploded somewhere in my stomach. We kissed slowly relishing the moment. We broke apart and he rested his forehead against mine. If I wasn't falling for him before, I was now.
Then Nicole came barging into the room.
"Oh I'm sorry," she said not looking sorry at all.
James' head was still resting against my forehead.
I sighed. "You should go."
He moaned inwardly, "I'll see you around." James gave me one last wink and exited the room with Nicole on his arm. She smirked at me when James couldn't see.
I fell back onto my bed and sighed. I felt scared, because I just realized I was falling for James. He is always so sweet to me, like he knows exactly what I like or want or need. James is so… perfect. But I wanted to get to know him better before I went head-over-heels for him.
Jocelyn rushed in a few minutes later. She smiled once she saw me.
"Okay, spill sister!" she said eagerly.
"Nothing happened," I said getting off my bed. I felt faint. James is such a good kisser.
"I don't believe you one bit, but let's go to the pool. Grab your suit," she said. "I already have my bikini on."
"Okay, hold on," I said pulling my bikini out of the drawers.
I stepped into the bathroom and pulled up the bottoms. My suit was white with green stripes. The sides of my bottom tied together. Then I tied my top together and wrapped a towel around my waist.
Jocelyn linked arms with me as we hopped down the marble staircase.
"I'm going to slip and fall on my ass," laughed Jocelyn as her eyes concentrated on her feet.
"No you won't," I laughed right along with her.
"Wait until James sees us in our bikinis," smirked Jocelyn, "he is goin' to pass out cold."
I giggled. "I'm too pale though."
Jocelyn snorted, "You are so not pale."
"Yes I am! Look at my stomach, it's practically white!" I exclaimed, pointing at my stomach.
"Boo-hoo. He'll think you're hot anyways."
We ran outside into the sunshine. My bare feet started to burn against the hot cement. I dragged Jocelyn to the pools edge.
"Let's do a cannon ball and get them all wet," I said nodding my head over to were Nicole, James, Molly, Gabby, and Fawn sat.
"Three…"
"Two…"
"One!" we yelled and splashed into the pool.
Jocelyn and I surfaced laughing our heads off. We couldn't tell if the girls were mad because a wave of water cascaded over our heads. It was James, and he looked gorgeous without a shirt on. He dived on top of me and we began to wrestle. His fingers brushed against my thigh, and I gasped and pounced on him.
"You are so naughty James," I giggled.
He chuckled. "Oh well. You know you liked it."
He grabbed my arm and pulled me under the water. James' hands found my face and brought it to his. His lips touched mine and fired seared through both of our bodies. We broke apart as soon as it happened and resurfaced.
I smiled at him and swam to the side. A ding was heard near the patio door. Our attention was drawn to where Chris stood.
"Ladies, if you would accompany me into the house please?" he asked.
We all grabbed towels and wrapped them around our bodies. The air conditioned house made my body shake with cold. We all sat on the couches.
"I have a special guest here," Chris began. "This time on the show, there was a little twist. A spy was living amongst you, posing as a bachelorette. In fact she is one of James' best friends, and is actually engaged to someone. Her journey has been hard and rough on this show. She told me she made some wonderful friends and that she never meant to hurt anyone. She has been reporting back to James with information that goes around in the house. Here is your spy…"
Emily turned around the corner, and her eyes were red and puffy. I gasped and all the other girls did too.
"I'm so sorry to have done this to you all," she sobbed.
Molly swore loudly. "So you told James everything that we've done?"
She nodded.
"Dammit," Molly muttered.
"I'm so sorry."
I got up and embraced Emily in a hug. Jocelyn soon followed me and wrapped her arms around Emily. We talked with her for a little bit. The other four were too stunned to even want to speak to Emily.
"So who's the lucky guy?" I asked after Emily calmed down.
"Remus Lupin."
My jaw dropped.
"What?" asked Jocelyn.
"I know him; I went to school with him."
Emily nodded. Now it all made sense, well most of it did. Then my realization kicked in.
"Bloody hello," I muttered. "So if you know Remus then you would have known… me?"
"No, we only met each other two years ago," she said not catching on.
"Remus and I were really good friends at school. How did you meet him?"
"James introduced me to him. Remus is one of his best friends. They were called the…"
"… The Marauders," I finished for her. "Oh, hell no. It's not him, no way! How could I have been so ignorant! How would I not know it was him? He has a ton of explaining to do!"
"Lily what are you rambling about?" asked Jocelyn, not understanding this at all.
My anger was getting the better of me. The spite fire I used to be was coming back. "I'll be right back."
I ran outside. The sky was darkening, and I could faintly see James in the hot tub. I walked over to the hot tub quickly.
James looked up and said, "Lily what's wrong?"
"Potter, isn't it?" I laughed cold-heartedly. "How could I be so stupid? I knew Arabella and Sirius were setting me up for disaster."
"Wait, wait, how do you know them?"
"Wake up and smell the roses Potter! We went to school together!"
"You're not making any sense," he said getting out of the hot tub.
"Evans, Lily Evans… ring a bell?"
He looked at me closely. "Oh my good Merlin. How could I not know this was you? Of course you don't look anything like you did back at school. Your hair is browner now and you grew a lot since 7th year. I should I have known it was you!"
"We haven't seen each other in over five years! Oh I am so going to kill those two! Wait, you didn't remember me at all?"
"I'm disappointed to say that I didn't."
"So after all those years at school of trying to not fall for the "Potter Charm", it just happens like that? This does not make sense; I'm not making any sense. I'm going crazy! Maybe I will wake up from this horrible dream." I sat down on the side of the hot tub. I pulled my legs up to my chest.
"Now Lily," James said sternly, scooting out of the hot tub, "you can't say this was all horrible. You didn't remember me either?"
"No I didn't. You look a lot different from school. Your hair is longer and still messier. You don't wear your glasses anymore. I just didn't remember you!"
James shook his head.
"Not all of it was horrible," I sighed. "I'm still mad at Sirius and Ari for making me do this. And you for not remembering me at all! Good Merlin, I'm loosing my –"
James silenced me by putting his lips on mine. I melted into the kiss and ran my hands through his hair.
"So this is what I have been missing all those years?" I asked touching my forehead to his.
He chuckled. "Yes, that's exactly what you have been missing."
I stepped back. "I can't believe it's actually you."
"Do you want to start over?" he asked.
"Yes," I smiled.
"I'm James Potter."
"Lily Evans, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too," he said. "Do you mind if I kiss you?"
"Not at all," she laughed.

Sirius & Ari
Ari was seated on the porch outside of the Potter Manor. Sirius and she had just eaten dinner with the Potters. Ari looked up at the stars. Someone wrapped their arms around her waist. She didn't need to turn around to know who it was. She smiled and Sirius sat on the seat above her.
"Do you think they know each other yet?" asked Ari, entwining her fingers with Sirius's fingers.
"I bet," he said, "she was pretty surprised to see me though."
"I just hope that she doesn't kill him when she finds out," sighed Ari.
"She won't," whispered Sirius and kissed Ari's neck.
"I hope your right," she smiled.
