After the Storm Chapter 1 {Sequel to Reconnected}

Miley's POV

I squeezed his strong hand and leaned in to his muscular chest listening to his heart beat softly against my head. His chest vibrated as he spoke. "Where do you want to eat tonight? It's your choice. "I looked up into his soft brown eyes as we continued down the busy street of LA. "How about Sushi Palace? I'm in the mood for sushi." He looked down at me and brushed a stray piece of my long chestnut hair behind my ear sending a shiver down my spine as his finger brushed against my cheek. "That sounds great." I smiled at him. "Cool." He leaned in and kissed my forehead softly.

I sat across from him and smiled weakly knowing that I was going to have to tell him sooner or later. Nick is my boyfriend. He deserves to know. I stared at him carelessly. His curly hair was complemented by dark skinny jeans and a white Ralph Lauren Polo. He was too perfect. His voice interrupted my thoughts. "Miley? Are you okay?" I shook my head. "What? Yeah. I'm fine really." He leaned closer towards me from across the table. "No, you're not. I know you too well Miley Ray. Tell me what's up." I watched as he leaned even closer to me and raised an eyebrow. I could feel my body tense up and I began playing with at strand of hair. "Miley!" I immediately relaxed my body and looked him straight in the eye. "I'm leaving for Georgia to film a movie. We start production tomorrow." I looked down not wanting to see his facial expression. He didn't even respond. After a while I began to get nervous, maybe he was going to break up with me. Finally he spoke. "That's what you were nervous about?" I looked up and smiled sheepishly. "Yeah, kind of." He took my hand and squeezed it. "I totally understand. We'll just have to spend a lot of time together tonight." He smirked. I smiled at him, happy that he took the news really well. "Okay, that sounds great."

We finished our sushi and headed over to Nick's house. I was so excited to spend time with him. It was the middle of his tour and I was leaving tomorrow. We hadn't had one on one time since I surprised him in Texas. It had been a while since I had been comfortable in his warm embrace. I dropped my purse on the floor in his room and walked over to one of his guitars that was lying on his bed. I picked it up and started plucking a few strings. "Have you been writing any new songs lately?" Nick came over and sat next to me. "I've been so busy on tour, it's been hard to find time." I let go of the guitar as he took it out of my hands and started playing a song very familiar to me. I closed my eyes and listened to Nick's smooth sexy voice. "Hello beautiful, how's it going? I hear it's wonderful in California. I've been missing you its true. But tonight…" Memories filled my head of all the times Nick would sing this to me on tour. One stood out in particular. {Flashback}

"Hey Smiley. You sounded beautiful at sound check." Nick walked over and sat on the edge of the stage next to me. "Thanks Nicholas." He picked up an acoustic guitar and started strumming a melody which soon collided with his beautiful voice. I smiled and closed my eyes and listened to the lyrics. Hello Beautiful, I've been missing you its true. I opened my eyes and looked at Nick when he finished. "I wrote this for you Miles. I want to play it every night just so I am reminded of you, beautiful. "I felt my cheeks turn bright red. No one had ever written a song for me. I leaned in and kissed him lightly. "Thanks Nick." {End of Flashback}

The memories instantly disappeared when I felt Nicks hand caressing my cheek. I opened my eyes to see him inches away from my face. I could feel his hot breath against my neck. "I love you Nick. " I whispered. "I love you too Smiley." He whispered before closing the gap between our lips. He led my hands so that they wrapped around his neck while he place his around my lower back pressing our bodies together. I could almost see sparks fly as I ran my fingers through his thick curly hair. Our lips were moving in perfect rhythm and our hearts were beating rapidly. I finally smiled and pulled away from the kiss. Nick reluctantly did the same. "That felt amazing." I whispered. "I've missed kissing you Miles." He smiled. I looked at Nick feeling my cheeks turn light pink. "I've missed kissing you too."
