CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

THAT FIRST DREAM

At dinner time I go to my usual place at the table and sit down. Rikki and Mel are already there and so is Louis, who is currently battling Mel in an intense game of tonsil-tennis. Ew.

"Ahem!" I clear my throat loudly and they jump apart. A string of saliva swings down from my cousins mouth and lands against Mel's chin. Double Ew. I gag loudly and Rikki coughs next to me, "Hypocrite!"

"What did you say?" Asks Louis, confused. Mel giggles loudly, knowing what Rikki meant, and Rikki lies through her teeth.

"I said Hogsmeade. Hogsmeade's tomorrow ... you guys are hanging out and doing mushy, romanctic, couple crap I bet so I'll be on my own again ... great."

"You won't be alone, you'll have Lily." Points out Louis and then turns to look into Mel's eyes, "But you're right about the romanctic part."

And for like the next five minutes, I swear, all he does is stare at Mel. And she stares back. And if I look past the horrible akwardness of watching my cousin and my best friend have what seems to be a very private moment, it's actually quite beautiful. The way they hold each other gaze, not embarrassed (though Mel's cheeks are flushed). It's like they are looking into each others heart and soul. I wonder if that's how I look when I look into Caleb's eyes. The beautiful violet orbs that haunts my dreams and thoughts in the most amazingly moving way. It's the look of two people who don't yet know everything there is to know about each other, but can't wait to find out. The look of two people that are falling in love.

All of a sudden, as if agreeing to do so telepathically, they rise from the table and leave. Mel sighs wistfully.

"They look so happy. I wish I had that." She sighs, head on hand.

"I know, it's beautiful. Makes me feel all warm and gooey inside."

"You don't know, though, do you? I'm so jealous right now. You have Caleb, Mel has Louis. I'm happy for you both, of course, but I can't say I don't want what you guys have. When Mel got with Louis, I thought,"Well at least I still have Lily to hang out with" but ... hey now look at you. You and Caleb ... The way those two looked just now, that's how you and he were looking at each other when I caught you earlier. So in love."

"Oh Mel, I'm sure there are loads of boys in this school who would kill for a gorgeous, smart and crazy girlfriend like you. One day you'll meet someone who's perfect for you and you'll walk around holding hands and looking at each other like that and putting everyone off of their dinner."

"Don't forget about the snogging. You and Mel both seem to really be enjoying yourself. Caleb looks like a good kisser, is he?" I laugh and hit her lightly on the shoulder.

"Stay away man-eater, he's mine."

"Hey, don't worry, plenty of fish in the sea. Louis looks like a good kisser too, maybe it runs in the family. Your brothers are single right?" She laughs and I cover my ears and sing to myself.

"I wonder what type of kissers they are." She teases loudly in my ear, "Bet James is they kind of guy who takes control. Powerful, strong, demanding."

"Got me in one, babe." Laughs my brother from behind her. I'm double-over with silent laughter and Rikki turns bright scarlet.

"I - I - em I was just saying ... It was - I wasn't. Oh Shit." She moans and lies her head on the table, mortified.

"It's fine, don't worry about it ... er, Rika,right?" He's right, Merlin knows how he knows that though because nobody (except her Father) ever calls he that.

"Yeah, but everyone calls me Rikki. Rika's Japanese it means countryside but I don't use it. It's not that I don't like it it's just that everyone has always called me Rikki so I ... I'm rambling, I'll shut up now." And in that moment I see the look they give each other and sigh loudly, not that they hear me. It's clear my brother and Rikki have chemistry. After a long pause, James speaks.

"I like Rika." He smiles his most charming smile and I roll my eyes when he winks. "Anyway, Lily, I was wondering if I could have a word. See you around, Rika."

"Bye James." Murmers Rikki, fluttering her eyelashes and biting her bottom lip. She's flirting with my brother. I bet they are together within the month.

I get up and walk out of the hall with James and we don't talk until we get to the Gryffindor common room. I sit down in my big armchair and he drags a footstool so he can sit in front of me.

"So I want to talk about last night. And about you having a boyfriend. First off, I'm sorry for shouting at you. But you have to know how uncomfortable this makes me. You're my baby sister and I love you and I want to look after you. The stuff I was doing at your age ... I keep ... picturing some smart-ass dickhead trying to ...well, you know. But clearly threatening to tell the parents doesn't work and I ... don't know what to do. You're just so ... innocent Lily. Way too innocent for a boyfriend."

"James" I interrupt, "I'm not. And besides, he's not like that. He won't try anything and he won't hurt me. I trust him."

"You shouldn't trust guys Lily. We are smart and sly and dangerous when it comes to girls, because we are all the same and we only want one thing. Some guys will wait for you, treat you right, but ... look, threatening to tell Mum and Dad didn't work so I'm begging you. Please break up with this kid. Don't get your heart broken. Because that's what will happen,"

"James, you don't get it. I can't stop now. It's too late. I'm falling in love with him and I don't care if I get my heart broken because every second I spend with him is worth a million heart breaks." I tell him. It's clear on his face that he doesn't believe me.

"You won't be saying that when it happens. But I obviously am not going to change your mind." There is a long pause and it's clear the conversation is over. The atmospere is tense. "So ... that friend of yours ... Rika ... She's pretty. What's she like?"

I laugh hard for about a minute and then I grin.

"Do you really think your ready for a girlfriend James? Because she might break your heart?" I say in the most patronising voice I can muster. He laughs.

"Would you mind if I asked her to go to Hogsmeade with me tomorrow? Get to know her, see where it leads. If you don't feel comfortable ... well, too bad 'cause I'm gonna go ask her." He says,then jumps up and runs out of the common room to go ask out my best friend. Great.

Then I head up to my empty dorm room and fall asleep doing homework that I was supposed to do earlier but didn't. And I dream the most wonderful dream:

I'm in the shower in the dorm bathroom and I've just finished. I'm fully washed, dried, legs shaved and mosturised with my favourite strawberry-scented cream. I walk out of the bathroom and suddenly I'm in my bedroom back home, still wearing just a towel. But I'm not alone. Caleb is lying on my four-poster bed wearing jeans and a plain black t-shirt. He grins when he sees me and sits up, but doen't get of the bed.

"Come here, Brown-eyes." He says and I go stand between his legs. He puts his hands on my hips, like nomal, but something in his eyes is different. Suddenly he flips me and I'm lying on my bed, under him. My heart is beating double-time, my mouth is dry and my palms are sweaty. Caleb brushes my slightly damp hair out of my face and leans down and kisses me. I see stars behind my eyelids and shivers run through my whole body. His tounge does magic in my mouth and for the first time in my life I'm wet in my ... lady area. His hands move from my hips higher until they reach the sides of my breasts. Then he pulls back and looks me in the eyes questioningly. I nod and he pulls the towel down. My breasts are on full display and he stares at me. I feel uncomfortable, not good enough, and raise my arms to cover myself but he stops me. He looks me straight in the eyes.

"Don't hide yourself from me. Your beautiful, Lily." Then he takes one of my nipples in his mouth and the most amazing feeling surges through me. I gasp and wriggle under him, feeling his erection against my thigh. Suddenly I'm painfully aware of the fact that there is only a towel between us. He lowers his head kissing down to my stomach. Lower and lower until he reaches my core. He keeps kissing me there, his tounge flicking and swirling. So much pleasure I think I'm going to die. I scream out his name and ...

Then I wake up. The early morning sun is streaming in through the window and I stretch like a cat. My knickers are wet and I gasp. I never usually remember my dreams, but I remember every detail of this one. I find myself wishing it was more than a dream.
