Yep. They finally talked it out. And they are "together," but no smuttiness yet. Lily will explain herself at the end of the chapter. :)
So sit back and enjoy this chapter.
Love always,
Avoline

Lily watched from the safety of the jeep as a pride of lionesses slowly approached the large, but wounded, zebra. She never though she would get to see this in person. She glanced at Scorpius's awe-struck face as they watched. She was focused on the biggest lioness, who was clearly the one in charge. The female moved forward, unseen by the injured prey. The other four followed suit, surrounding what would soon be dinner. Lily held her breath and waited for the predators to strike.
Out of nowhere, the biggest lioness charged and latched her mouth around the zebra's throat.
The rest of lionesses attacked, bringing the equine to the ground and rendering him incapable of escape.
Kind of like what's wrong with me...
Lily felt her face drop. She really did not want to think about that right now. Although, it was a good analogy. Aunt Mione would be proud.
"What's wrong, Lily," Scorpius whispered in her ear. She turned to him and smiled.
"Just thinking," she answered. "It can wait, thought." He nodded.
"Do you want to go back to the hotel," he questioned. She sighed and nodded. She really didn't want to ruin this for Scorpius, but she just couldn't make herself go any further. His arm slid around her shoulder, and she snuggled into him. He could make everything seem alright. He could make her forget about all of her worries.
And he was hers.
She smiled as the jeep turned to go back to the hotel. He could have any woman in the world, yet he wanted her, needed her, loved her. She could make him do whatever she asked. She still couldn't believe the power she had over the best looking boy in Hogwarts. She could have never imagined the he was doing all this because he loved her. No, she thought he was doing it because he was simply being a good friend.
And his face when he told her. She would never forget seeing that much terror in his eyes. And he wasn't worried about dying. He just wanted to be able to tell her that he loved her. He just wanted her to know that he would always love her.
Then he admitted that knowing she was dying was hurting him. It was killing him to know that he would one day lose her, but he was putting his feelings aside to focus on her. If she had known that it would hurt him that much, she would have never told him.
He deserved to know. It would have been cruel to let him think everything was okay when it wasn't.
She closed her eyes and inhaled his scent. The knowledge that she was dying was hurting him, true, but had she not told him, he would have awoken one day to find her dead and not know why. Telling him at least gave him time to come to terms with it before she passed.

"Lily," Scorpius's voice called through the darkness. "Lily, wake up." She slowly opened her eyes. "Come on, Lils, wake up. We're at the hotel." She closed her eyes and smiled.
"Did I fall asleep," she inquired. His laughter filled her ears and warmed her heart.
"Yeah," he answered. "Kinda scared me till I saw that you were breathing." She sat up and looked at him.
"You mean you thought I was dead?" He nodded. "Scorpius Malfoy, you are becoming more paranoid than my brothers!" He grinned as sheepishly as he could.
"I can't help it, Lils," he replied. "I've been this paranoid since you told me." He helped her out of the jeep and walked her to her room. "Plus, I still have one more goal in mind." She giggled.
"I'm sure you do," she responded, "but you'll have to wait." He looked at her dejectedly.
"Why?" She kissed him reassuringly.
"It scares me, Scorp," she explained. "I don't want to take that plunge just yet. What if my heart isn't strong enough to handle it, Scorp? And Dad would blame you for it and he would never let you forget and you would have to live with that and-" His finger rested on her lips, silencing her in an instant.
"I see your point," he soothed. "I'll wait until you're ready, Lily." She smiled.
"Thank you," she whispered. His lips met hers in a passionate kiss.
"It's I who should be thanking you," he countered. "For giving me the honor of loving such an amazing woman."
