Give up

Lily's POV
I sigh as I attempt to read by book, my dark red curls sprawled out over the pages. I'm in the common room, comfortably curled up on my favourite chair.  I find myself loosing focus and my eyes casually gazing around the room until they land on a certain marauder.
His mop of messy black hair is swept to the side as he resells with Remus, his glasses miraculously staying perfectly in place as they push each other around. I can't help but stare as his shirt it lifted up slightly to reveal the beginning of his chiselled chest, my heart rate increasing slightly at the sight. I can't seem to force myself to look away.

Me and Potter haven't exactly had the best relationship if any at all but lately I feel like I may be slipping into the trap that so many before me have. No, I can't. Lily Evans doesn't fall for anyone! I need to keep my head clear and not mess around with stupid teenage boys.
The memories of my past thoughts and opinions on dating anyone in my year or even school start to fade as I watch him. I don't know what's the matter with me. He's arrogant, a bully, a bit of an idiot, granted sometimes he does make me laugh and I suppose he is very talented and smart and..wait, No Im not thinking of good things about him.

Suddenly Peter appears at the portrait hole all red and out of breath. "Si..Sirius...court...court yard..n..now!" He pants. James and Remus immediately stop fighting and run towards him looking excited.  His dazzling smile spread across his face and his eyes positively gleaming. I can't help but feel nervous at the effect he's starting to have on me. Oh no come on Lily his is ridiculous pull your self together. No way, it's not happening. I am not and will never be in love with James Potter. Out of the question. "Oh wait" he shouts just as he's about to leave the common room, his strong muscular arms resting on the sides of the exit.
"Go out with me Evans?" His loud beaming voice bellows. "Nope" I reply not making eye contact. I didn't even know he realised I was actually in here. "Okay, I tied" he says leaving with Remus and Peter who I can just about hear telling him it's never going to happen and he should give up. "I'll never give up on her" he tells them. I can honestly say I think my heart actually skipped a beat. Everyone is staring at me and I'm finding it extremely hard to pretend I'm not very uncomfortable right now. I can feel my cheeks burning with embarrassment but i also know it's because of the fact that I may just be giving in to him.
Maybe I don't want him to give up.
