"She's a beauty" he said sighing dreamily at the perfectly proportioned sandwich in front of him.

"Who is?" Lilly asked bursting through the Stewart's front door.

"Don't you knock?!" he exclaimed flushing and wiping mayo off his mouth.

She giggled. "Hasn't bothered you before" she said, running a hand through her long hair.

Jackson bit his lip and looked at her. Lilly was just a little weird, she always talked to fast, had a guyish personality and always wanted to get into everyone's business. He kind of liked that though, she was a little like him.

Lilly raised an eyebrow. "Jackson? Is Miley home?" she asked, waving a hand in front of her face and raising her eyebrows.

"Nah, she's out with dad" he said, shoving his sandwich out of the way and leaning over the counter.

Lilly nodded. "Kay, tell her I stopped by" she said, turning to leave.

"Wait!" Jackson said running to her and grabbing her hand.

She took her hand away from his and looked at him in confusion. "What's up?" she asked smoothing down her shirt.

"Well, you could stay till Miley gets back" he suggested hopefully.

Lilly watched his face light up as he asked her, and she felt a small tingling in her hand.

"I think I'm just going to go down to the beach" she said shrugging away the feeling and smiling at him.

Jackson's face fell but he covered it quickly. "Oh alright, I'll see you later?" he said softly.

Lilly nodded. "Yah, sure" she said shifting from foot to foot.

Jackson nodded too. "Alright" he said.

There was a long silence. "Ok, I'm going to go now" Lilly said grinning sheepishly.

Jackson nodded, and watched her open the door.

Suddenly something came over him, he ran to her and kissed her, and to his surprise she didn't pull away. He felt her press herself against him. She grabbed a hold of his golden hair and deepened the kiss.

It was over too quick. Lilly looked at him, like really looked at him, it was like she was finally seeing him.

"See ya" she said breathlessly, a small smile creeping on her face, before she left the house.

Jackson nodded slightly, wondering if he had really just kissed his sisters best friend. He bit his lip and turned back to his sandwich.

"She really is a beauty" he whispered, of course, not meaning the sandwich at all this time.
