Ch 6: The Kiss That Started it All
Lily POV
I walk in the kitchen to find Lorcan making breakfast for us. "Good morning, Lily." He sounded too happy.
"Lorcan, it's seven o'clock in the morning. What are you are doing at this hour in morning?" I yell at him. It has been a few weeks since the party. Lorcan started his new job at the Daily Prophet. We got into an easy routine, having breakfast together, going to work, and coming home and complaining about our co-workers.
"Making breakfast. Do you want you want some?" Lorcan smile a bright. I nodded and Lorcan pilled food on my plate. Lorcan and I ate in silence.
After work I made my way to the Burrow for dinner. Before I can step in the house, I could smell Grandmum cooking.
I walk in and see my grandmum at the stove. "…Ginny where is that daughter of your. I need to talk to her."
"I don't know Mum." My mum yelled from across the room. "She an adult." I laugh and my grandmum turns to me.
She puts on a smile. "Lily, where have you been?" She comes and gives me a hug.
"Hi, Grandmum." I look over her shoulder to see my mum laughing. "Hi, Mum." Mum gives me a 'good luck' smile and leaves the kitchen. Why would I need luck? Grandmum finally lets me go.
"Lily, sit down." She points her spoon that she is using to a chair at the table. I take a seat because Grandmum seem serious.
I gave her my most winning smile. "What can I do for you, Grandmum?"
"Don't think that you can use your sweetness on me, young lady." She turns back to the stove. "We need to talk about something." I look how no one is in the kitchen when Grandmum wants to talk. When the kitchen is full of people.
"What would that be?" I asked.
"From what I hear is that you are living with a man." Grandmum handed me a cup of tea.
"Yes, I'm." I took a sip of it. "He is my roommate." I look at over my tea. I put down my cup. "Grandmum, you know Lorcan."
"It's not right." Grandmum put the lid on the pot.
"Grandmum, we are just friends. And Mum and Dad lived together before they were married, so did Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione. Nothing is going to happen."
"Fine. Don't do anything you are going to regret." I went over to her and gave her a hug to tell her I loved her.
I made my way to the sitting room, where my family sat and not talking. I see my mum in the corner talking to my Aunt Angelina. I walk over to her. "Thank you, Mum."
I see a small smile on her face before she turns to me. "Sorry, dear. I had to hear about it before you got here. She told why did I raise you to have a boy in your flat when you are not even dating." She laughed. I roll my eyes at her. "Don't roll your eyes at me." In her mother tone.
"Sorry." I turn to find a place to sit. I see there is a place by my cousin Victore. I make my way over to her. "Hey."
"Hey." She grabs one of her childern who are running in the house. "Remus, why are you running around in the house?" She asked her oldest son.
"Dora chasing me." Remus said. He is looking where Dora is. I hear can her father got her for running in the house.
"Why was she chasing you?" Victore asked her son.
"I might have took her favorite doll." The five-year-old answer.
"Go tell her you are sorry." She let go of her son, who ran to his sister. "No running in the house." Victore yelled after him. She turns to me. "Sorry about that. Don't have children."
I laugh. I could see myself having Lorcan kids. Black hair and his blue eyes. And maybe we could throw a couple of redheads in there, too. It put a smile on my face.
"Lily are you okay there?" Victore broke though my head.
"Sorry." I blushed.
"It's okay. I know that picturing his children can make you smile." I look at her like I don't know what she is talking about. She laughed. "I did the same thing with Teddy." Her blue eyes sparkled.
"I don't know what you are talking about." I said. I look around the room so I didn't meet her eyes.
"Oh, I know. It happens when I was coming to terms with my feeling for Teddy. And from what I hear you have a man living with you."
"Yes and we are just friends." I see her bright smile.
"And I said the same thing to your mum and Aunt Hermione before Teddy kissed me." She giggled like a girl on her first crush.
I roll my eyes. "How are you and Teddy doing?" I asked to change the subject.
Her smile told me that she knew I was changing the subject. "Well we are going to have baby number four. Teddy and I have to find a bigger place now."
"Wow. Number four. You and Teddy can't keep your hands off each other." I laughed. "Where is number three?" I look around and didn't him.
"He is taking a nap and Teddy is watching him." I smile. You could tell she really loved her children. I hope one day I could find that. "So, tell me how is it living with Lorcan Scamander, who is just your friend." She asked.
"It's good. We have breakfast in the morning and work. We come home and hang out." I told her.
"So, that what roommate do." She laughed.
I got up and left the room. I heard Victore laugh behind me. I went into the March crisp air. I walk around the garden until Grandmum called me in to eat. I kept quiet the rest of the night.
Lorcan POV
Where was she? She should have been home six hours ago. I hear the door open and close. I get up and stop her before she went to the back. "Where have you been?" I yell at her. "You should have been home six hours ago. You don't owl or floo. I was worry sick about you."
Lily stares at me like I gone nutters. She lifts one eyebrow. "I was at my grandmother's." She tries to get by. I don't let her by.
"You couldn't tell me where you were going after work." I growl at her.
"Last time I check I didn't have to tell you were I go after work." Lily yells back.
"Yes that would be nice. So I don't have to worry about you." I was yelling too.
"Last time I check you are not my parents or brothers. So, I don't have to check in with you." Lily's green eyes were a dark forest green.
I grab her head between my hands, I lower my head. "Would your brothers do this." My lips touch hers. They are soft was petals. Lily's arms wrap around my neck. I move my hands off her face, down her back; I pull her closer to me. I let go of her lips and make my way down her neck.
"Lorcan…" She sighs my name. It sounds like heaven on her soft lips. She pulls out of my arms. "We can't do this." I look in her eyes, she means it. I let her go and watch her shut her door to her room.
