hopelessly hopeful
LILITH MARIE EVANS
Lily Evans
head girl

❝she was a beautiful dreamer. the kind of girl who kept her head in the clouds, loved above the
S T A R S and left regret beneath the EARTH she walked on.❞

“that’s what i like to hear–” grinning as she nudged her side, “merely stating facts–” she teased, “how are things going with the good ol’ date?” quirking a brow.

❝yeah yeah, quit it. you know i’m only so good at taking compliments,  my ego can’t take that much pumping.❞ she grinned, her shoulders rising and falling as she glanced around. ❝i think they’re going pretty well? i keep losing him…❞

        admitting to such a thing should’ve left him terrified — it was all he worried about since the beginning, that he would hand himself over and she would toss him aside like she had done so many times before. he wasn’t though … terrified. not at that moment, not with her lips against his, and certainly not as he lifted her up and placed her on the desk behind them. 

      they were an unhealthy mixture of lust, chaos, and brilliance. it seemed dangerous, almost lethal — but it didn’t bother him anymore. he would much rather lose with her than win with anyone else. 

       his hands fell down, gathering the base of her dress without fully separating himself. finding the bottom, he let his arms travel upward, nails dragging softly against her porcelain flesh as they searched desperately for the underwear they wished to rip free. he would claim his fingers had a mind of their own, but who would believe him? tugging them down and down and DOWN, james finally came up for air before removing them completely. it was then that he stood up and looked at her … really looked at her. he couldn’t quite describe her or the feelings she brought forth. all he could say was that lily evans was easily the most beautiful thing he’d ever laid his eyes on. he used the word ‘THING’ not because she was a possession for him to own, but because it included all the things he might’ve forgotten. it was enough to leave him speechless. & frozen.

this time like so many others, lily found herself falling into the comfort of his arms, her body relaxing against his soft touch, her resolve melting away as his lips wiped any sense of insecurity away. he was home to her. there was no use in even trying to describe how complete she felt when he held her, how his gentle caress was enough to set her soul at ease. she was dark and twisty but when his strong arms cradled her closer it was like the sun poked through the dimmest corners of her being. what they had went beyond lust, it was so much more than something she wanted. it was something she now NEEDED

his fingers left behind trails of electricity, jolting her nerves and coaxing soft whimpers past her parted lips. all she could think about were his words, how he’d admitted he was hers and how desperately she wanted to prove the statement was also true on her behalf. words seemed to fall flat so she settled for showing him. her eyes fluttered open as he pulled away, the harsh cold that his absence left was clearly unwelcome. time halted around them and there was nothing left to do but look at him. drink in every inch of his handsome face, appreciate his beautiful caring eyes and his unruly hair. the essence of JAMES POTTER

the boy she’d never expected to love but couldn’t imagine living without. a soft smile crept onto the girls lips, acceptance washing over her. though there was no telling what was to come, she didn’t care. she LOVED him. more than she dared ever to love someone else. she wanted to say it, she wanted him to know it. slowly the girl reached down to remove her heels, her eyes still locked on his despite the loud clang that filled the room when each shoe dropped onto the cold cobble floor. ❝you’ve got me, JAMES POTTER. I’M the one that’s YOURS.❞ her voice was barely above a whisper as she pushed herself off the desk momentarily, reaching for the zipper on her dress and letting the silky fabric cascade off her pale frame. she was positive marlene would have a fit but it was the last of her worries. she wanted james to take what was rightfully his. 


fnnigcn:

      he listened to her apologies and her incessant questions with a subtle smile painted across his features. he appreciated her concern, but he finally felt like maybe his dark days were ending. he wasn’t sure just yet, but the fact that he arrived sober was one starting point — but he was certainly thankful that the punch was STRONGER than anticipated. long story short … there wasn’t much she could do now (or so he thought until her final question). “ i … actually might. soon. maybe. if you were serious. ”

image

her concern faded slightly as she watched him, the ease with which he stood before her. sure, it didn’t completely disappear, but she was content to see him at least alright. it was more than anyone could ask for really. ❝i was, it’s a once in a lifetime offer, i’d say you should take it before it’s gone. ❞

vancesemmes:

“you’re alright, yeah?” eying the redhead as her smile widened, “bloody gorgeous – she truly outdid herself this time around” 

image

❝of course, i’m great. i’m good.❞ lily chuckled softly, hiding her blush behind the palm of her hand. ❝oh STOP. you’re too much. she had fun and i appreciate it a lot. ❞

okbenjy:

  that makes two of us , lils.   –but you did great with the set list.  will i be hearing some rockin’ rollin stones soon?    he joked , though half of him was still hoping.  taking a long sip from the dark rosy liquid ,  benjy looked around them.     so , where’s your date?  

image

❝thank you very much, i take pride in it. oh yes love, i’ve sprinkled a couple of them into the mix just for you, promise.❞ lily grinned, nodding quickly. she shrugged, looking around for edgar. ❝i think we got separated when i had a minor crisis to sort out but i’ve got to find him soon. what about yours, where’s em?❞

        james remained quiet, his jaw clenched tightly as he listened to every single word that left her mouth. he listened so intensely that he might as well have just placed his ear right up against her rose-colored lips. he held on fiercely to every syllable as if searching for clarity — as if looking for a clue as to whether she was REALLY speaking those words. “ … i AM yours. ” he admitted breathlessly, crushing his lips desperately against hers as he wrapped his arm around her waist and yanked her closer. he had no more patience for words, no more patience for breathing. all he wanted was to know the taste of her tongue and the heat of her body, to remind her of one of the many things he could give her.

often people spoke of fireworks when describing their perfect kiss. others turned to the fateful chime of wedding bells to describe the joyous feeling of finally kissing the person they yearned for. in lily’s case, she didn’t feel fireworks or hear bells. the only way to best describe it was HEAT. like a crackling fire starting at the tips of her toes and slowly engulfing her in the warm flames. like molten lava bursting and spreading through her frame. like the sun hitting her soft complexion on a warm summer’s day. because that’s what james potter was to her, he was her sun. he was warmth. he could burn her but he always provided a light. he was good and kind and infuriating and confusing. but he was HERS. a soft sigh of relief fell past her lips as she melted into his arms and happily parted her lips, allowing her tongue to run along his lesser lip, her arms immediately wrapping around his neck as she pulled him in closer, reluctant to let him go. he was HERS. and she was HIS.

               james was taken aback, her words catching him off-guard as he remained silent. his expression appearing unreadable despite the bitterness building deep within his stomach. he had asked her. he just wasn’t fast enough. and maybe he shouldn’t have been, but he found himself angry at her for having said yes to that guy in the first place. “ … i am TRYING. ” he shouted, his emotions getting the better of him, a complete clash against the calmed demeanor he had when first walking in.

               “ okay? i am trying MY HARDEST not to look at you because every time i do, it makes things worse. you think i wanna be here? surrounded by friends and all i can think about is you? … how i can’t have you? how when i said i wanted to be non-exclusive you didn’t even TRY to fight me on it? ” he was already halfway across the classroom before he realized he was even walking, his hidden thoughts spilling from his lips a mile a minute. “ you think it doesn’t bother me watching that guy touch you knowing full well i practically gave him permission to? you think it doesn’t drive me nuts? you think it doesn’t make me sick? the last thing i want to do … is look. at. you. ”

image

                                 ❝i’m SCARED i’m going to LOSE you. and i’m trying, i’m really TRYING to be happy. i’m trying to be happy with the idea of having to share you when every inch of me is screaming that you’re M I N E and i don’t want to share you.❞ hot tears threatened to shed as she watched him, her mind racing with his words. he was confusing her with what he said and the actions that had led up to this point. he wanted them to be non exclusive, he said it was best. and now everything was turning into a right mess. 

                            ❝so STOP looking at me. because i love you and i can’t breathe I CAN’T BREATHE when you look at me because it hurts, because you’re not mine and i keep trying to let loose and do whatever the hell it takes to keep you but i can’t breathe.❞ her screams died out towards the end of her sentence, the weight of the last couple of days she’d spent ignoring him finally taking a toll on her. she was exhausted of fighting her need to be close to him, of pushing aside her obvious feelings for him. she didn’t move away or push him away, simply because she COULDN’T. all she could manage to do was look up at him, their faces merely inches away. the most ironic fact to note was how she was previously going on about how she couldn’t breathe and yet with him finally standing close to her, it was like she could finally take a breath of fresh air and that realization nearly broke her.

❝hey it wasn’t a lone effort. james sorted about as much as i did. thanks em, mar got me into this ridiculous get up… do you really think i look alright?❞
