Is This Really Happening?
Swimming With The Dolphins
And the dance continues! Lily can't make a list to save her life, so they'll be in the Bahamas for one more chapter. Of course, Scorpius will be just awesome and probably try to pry at Lily's feelings, while dancing around his own.
So sit back and enjoy! :)
Love always,
Avoline

Scorpius grabbed the notebook and glanced at the list. His brow furrowed as he read over it.
"Lily," he called. She walked into the spacious living room.
"Yeah, Scorp," she answered. He turned and looked at her.
"We could knock out number five on your list while we're here," he pointed out. She shook her head.
"Scorpius, I can't swim," she stated softly. He rose to his feet and grasped her hands. It felt so good, holding her hands. He never wanted to go another day without being able to do that. He wanted to die with her hand in his.
But he knew it probably wouldn't happen. He knew she would probably pass over within a few years, and he would be left to carry on without her. Hell, he had just about decided that when she died, he wouldn't even bother with trying to live. He would just find a quick, painless way to end his own life.
You need to tell her how you feel. Maybe she feels the same way.
"Lily, I'm not going to let you drown," he soothed. "I'll be right there with you. Don't worry about that." She smiled, and he felt his heart break just a little more.
"I know, Scorp," she whispered. He smiled and kissed her cheek.
"Then let's do it," he cooed. "Let's go swim with dolphins. It's not something we can just go do." She giggled.
"But how," she questioned. He almost fell over with laughter.
"Are you or aren't you a witch," he asked. She stared at him, then her face turned as red as her hair.
"I totally forgot about that," she muttered. He smiled at her.
Kiss her. Kiss her. You know you want to.
Before he could blink, her lips were against his. He froze, savoring her taste. She tasted like strawberries. No, sweeter than strawberries. Like raspberries on a summers day. It was paradise, and he couldn't believe that she was kissing him.
And just like that, it was over. She pulled away and smiled.
"So, let's go call up some dolphins," she giggled before darting out the door. He wanted her go, then cursed himself for not kissing her back.
"Stupid idiot," he scolded. "She was kissing you, and you fucking blew it! Why didn't you kiss her back? Why didn't you tell her then how you felt?"
Cause you're scared. You're scared she might assume that you just pity her. You're scared she might not love you back.
He let out a frustrated sigh. He just wanted to say it like it was, but he was afraid he would scare her off. He was afraid that she would make him leave.
He was afraid that she would laugh in his face and tell him that she was in love with one of the Scamander twins.
