Forever Young

Hello all! Super short chapter today! I was in a goodish mood because I've gotten lots of reviews, favorites, and follows these last couple of days and that made me pretty happy! Plus yesterday I was in Philly until like 10:30 and didn't get home until like midnight so my mom let me stay home from school today. I was in Philly for a rehearsal. For those of you who don't know (which is most of you) I'll be performing in the Dunkin Donut's Thanksgiving Day Parade with my dance company and I was at Philly for that rehearsal. Lets just say it was a long night. Well I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 16: In the Nude

Cassidy's POV:

It was a little after noon when I heard a noise downstairs. I shot up in bed and looked around. I was still in Sirius' room. I looked down and realized I was still nude. I pulled the blanket up higher around my naked body. Then I heard the noise again. I looked over at Sirius who didn't stir at all. The noise sounded a third time causing me to get out of bed and pull on my sports bra and knickers. I grabbed an abandoned Quidditch Jersey off the floor and pulled it over my half naked body.

I grabbed my wand slowly made my way down the stairs that led out into the living room. I looked around and saw no one. Although there was ashes around the fireplace leading me to believe that someone came through the floo. Another noise sounded in the kitchen. I jumped and turned in that direction. I couldn't see anyone from where I was standing so I slowly crept in that direction. As I entered the kitchen I saw no one in there.

"What the bloody hell," I whispered.

"Looking for something?" a voice said behind me. I shrieked and fell to the floor in a little ball trying to protect myself from the intruder.

"Merlin Cassidy," the voice said. "It's just me. Remus."

"What!" I screamed. I looked up and saw Remus Lupin hovering above me with a confused look on his face.

"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you," he said sheepishly. "Sirius invited me over yesterday. Didn't he tell you?" I gave him a look. "Guess not."

All of a sudden we hear footsteps pounding the stairs. In about 2 seconds Sirius is in the kitchen in wand pointed at Remus and me.

"Remus?" he asked confused. "I heard her scream, Cassidy why did you scream?"

I rolled my eyes, "Because I heard a noise down here and I didn't know Remus was coming over you dolt." Sirius' eyes grew wide at the realization.

"Right," he said. "I knew there was something I forgot to tell you." I rolled my eyes and began to head upstairs when Remus stopped me.

"Cassidy," he started. "Why are you wearing Sirius' Quidditch jersey and nothing else?" I stopped cold in my tracks and looked down. Shit! I completely forgot!

"Umm…" I stuttered. "Well you see, I umm…. Sirius?" I said looking at Sirius who also suddenly looked worried. Remus then rolled his eyes and placed a hand over them.

"You guys had sex… didn't you?" He said blankly.

"Maybe," Sirius drawled out. We both looked at him and gave him a look. I then turned around and made my way upstairs. I entered my room and began to shower. Once I dried off I wrapped my towel around myself and made my way into my room only to find Sirius sitting on my bed waiting for me.

"What do you want Sirius?" I asked annoyed.

"Can we talk?" He asked.

"Can it wait until I'm fully clothed?" I asked gesturing to my towel clad body. He blushed and nodded then left the room calling that he'd be waiting downstairs. I began to change. I pulled on a blue flowy tank top and blue patterned flowy shorts. I dried my hair and left it natural then went downstairs. Sirius was waiting for me in the kitchen.

"Is Remus going to lecture us?" I groaned sitting down at the counter. Sirius shook his head.

"No, Remus is here to helps us figure out what the hell we are going to do." He said.

"What we are going to do about what?" I asked. He rolled his eyes.

"About us stupid." Sirius snapped. I glared at him and he gave me an apologetic glance. "Look Cass we can't keep going in circles around each other. I like you and you like me. The only thing standing in our way is your bloody boyfriend."

I sighed, "What do you want me to do about it Sirius?"

"Break up with him for merlins sake!" He shouted at me.

"I can't very well just break up with Andrew and then two minutes later say I'm in a relationship with Sirius," I snapped.

"And why can't you?" Sirius snapped back.

"People will say things Sirius," I said lowly. "Mean and horrible things. And they won't be about you. No they'll be about me! And I really don't want to give anyone another reason to talk about me and stare and call me names and gossip about my personal life. No! I refuse." I stated crossing my arms.

Sirius sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. I looked at him with sorrow in my eyes. He looked back at me and then reached out and wrapped his arms around me.

"Are you ok?" He asked. I nodded my head.

"You sure?" he asked once more.

"I'm fine Sirius," I told him pulling away. "Honest."

"Was that your first time?" He asked awkwardly. I shook my head.

"Unfortunately no," I said looking down at me feet. "I wish it had been." I admitted honestly.

"Williams?" He asked bitterly.

"Diggory," I said eyes shut embarrassed at the thought. I felt his hand on my back and I rested my head on his shoulder.

"Don't worry though," I said. "You were much better." I could feel him smiling at the thought of this and I smiled to. In all honesty sex with Sirius was much better with him than with Amos. Sirius was kind and gentle and knew what he was doing. Amos was awkward and had zero clue to what had been going on.

"Thanks Cass," he said. I smiled and kissed his cheek. We were silent for a moment before I said what I had wanted to say since this morning.

"You heard me, didn't you?" I asked.

"Come again," He said confused.

"Last night - well I guess you could say early this morning – when I said I loved you. You heard me didn't you?" I asked again. I looked over at him and I could see a faint blush spreading over his tanned cheeks.

"Yea I did." He admitted. I nodded confirming that's what he was talking about this morning while I was eating breakfast.

"To answer your question from earlier, yes." I said. He looked at me confused again.

"Yes, I meant that I loved you."

And a little lovey doviness for the end of the chapter! I hope you enjoyed! I hope everyone has a fabulous Thanksgiving! Look for me in the Dunkin Donut's Thanksgiving Day Parade even though you have no clue what I look like...Wait...

XOXO,
