"Pass the popcorn" Lilly says smiling as she reaches over Oliver towards the popcorn bag in Miley's lap.
"Get your own" she says pulling the popcorn away and lightly laughing. "Lilly is always taking my popcorn. Its my popcorn!" Miley thinks and then after a brief game of keep the popcorn from Lilly, she gives in. But mainly because poor Oliver was getting trampled as Lilly tried her best to get at the bag.
"Come on guys! Im not a floor mat." He protests attempting to push Lilly off of him as Miley finally gives in and hands her the bag of popcorn. They then turn back to the movie. Oliver had picked it out so it wasn't a chick flick. But everyone still seemed to like it. Mainly because it had Orlando Bloom in it though. Miley and Lilly were practically in love with him!
Suddenly Lilly's phone starts to ring. Oliver just looks at her with his expression saying he was clearly annoyed by the interruption. But Miley knew there was more to the phone ringing than just another caller. The ring tone was playing "This is the Life" and Miley gives a slight grin at Lilly who blushes slightly. Miley knew she only uses that ring tone for her crushes.
"Uhh I think I'm going to take this outside." She says gleefully as she jumps up and runs for the door. Within moments the door is open and slammed shut. Miles could tell she was excited about the call. "But who could be calling her? She hadn't told me about any new crushes. Hmm perhaps she will tell me later." she thinks and turns back towards the movie.
"Wonder what got into her?" Oliver says benignly, completely oblivious to how special the call was to her.
"Ahh its prolly someone she has been dying to talk to." she responds not wanting to give away the secret of the ring tone if he didn't already known.
"Oh well thats cool." he says and they both turn back to watch the movie.
After a few more minutes Miley begins to notice that Oliver had gotten alot more fidgety since Lilly had went outside. As if he was nervous about something. She couldn't quite put my finger on it though. She then pokes him in the ribs and tells him "Settled down or you're going to fidget a hole into the couch."
Meanwhile outside...
"Hello?"
"Lilly?"
"Yes this is her" she answers. His voice sending chill bumps down her arms.
"Hey its Jake, whats up?"
"Oh nothing, just over here at Miley's watching a movie. How about yourself?"
"Pretty good pretty good, just sitting here thinking about some things and reading some lines for my newest movie."
"Oh really what kind of movie is it, Mr. Zombieslayer?" She asks pretending not to know. 'He's such a hunk on tv, if only he was my hunk' she thinks dreamily. But quickly pushes the thought of them dating out of her head. She didn't know how Miley would take the idea of that. Since Jake and her hadn't been broke up two weeks yet, and she was already drooling over him. 'Snap out of it, he wouldn't be calling you if he wasn't at least a little interested in you.'
"Well it's not about zombies at all. My agent thought it might be a good idea for me to try something different. Ya know add to the resume and all."
"Oh thats sounds neat, whats the movie called?"
"It's called 'On the shores of our hearts', its basically a love story" he says gently as if he was nervous about what Lilly would think.
"A love story! Well that is something different I must admit" she responds then realizes it may have been taken the wrong way. "But it sounds cool. Where are you filming it at?"
"Right here in Malibu. Kinda works out for me."
"What do you mean?"
"Well remember how I told you I had been thinking about some things? Well it wasn't really some things I was thinking about, rather some people."
"I don't follow Jake, what are you talking about?"
"Well Lilly, I've been thinking about you... and me" he says with a slight nervous undertone.
"Oh... wow..." Is the only thing that comes out of her mouth. 'What are you thinking girl, say something other than that. Don't leave him wondering, ask him what he is thinking.' "So what were you thinking about us?"
"Well I don't really know how to say this, but uhh.. Lilly I like you" then there is a moment of silence before finishing with "Alot. And well I was hoping you would be my girlfriend."
"Jake Ryan, are you asking me out?" She asks as if it was a dream. Then lightly pinches her arm and realizes that she is not dreaming. 'I think Jake Ryans really asking me out!'
"Well umm yes. So what do you think?"
"What about miley? You two just broke up a few weeks ago. What would she think? I don't want to make her mad."
"Well Miley and I had our differences. We only dated a few days anyway."
"What do you mean you had your differences?"
"She never told me who, but she liked someone else. And we finally agreed it would be best if we saw other people. Me and Miley dating just wasn't meant to be. However I do think I was meant to meet you, and I can thank Miley for that."
'Wonder who it was' she thinks. Miley had just said that her and Jake split up over some differences and she didn't really talk about him much after that. Who could she have been so into that she left Jake Ryan, the hottest boy on earth! Well that doesn't matter at the moment though, Jake is probably nervously waiting for my answer. Lilly then turns her attention back to the phone call.
"So what do you think Lilly, will you be my girlfriend?"
"Of course Jake! I'd love to." she says with more joy than she has ever felt. She then quietly sings 'I got Jake, I got Jake' over and over in her head. The happiness almost overwhelming her.
"Awesome! Ive been so nervous lately. Wondering and wondering what your answer might be. Wondering if you would reject me."
"Jake I would never reject you."
"Glad to hear that. So you want to go see a movie this weekend?"
"Sure, what would you like to see?" she asks as they begin their first conversation as an official couple.
Meanwhile back inside...
"Oliver your squirming again"
"I know Miley I just.."
"Got ants in your pants" she says laughing.
"No I'm just a little nervous."
'Nervous? Why would Oliver be nervous, it isn't like were doing anything different than usual. Were just watching a movie like Lilly and us always do.' "What are you nervous about?"
Oliver looks up towards the door as if to make sure no one was listening in. Then looks back at me. "Miley I have been thinking alot lately." He begins but ends up spilling the popcorn as he blindly reaches. "Woops, sorry Miles."
"Its ok, we can always make more. Here you pick that up and I'll go to the kitchen and pop us another bag in the microwave." she says hopping up and heading for the kitchen. Reaching the kitchen she rummages through the cabinets. 'Hmm Cheerios, corn flakes, ahh there it is!' she says mentally as she reaches into the way back of the cabninet for the box of popcorn bags. Retrieving it she throws one in the microwave and moves to the refrigerators for a drink.
"Hey Oliver want something to drink!" shes yells reaching for a Pepsi.
"Sure throw me a Mtn. Dew." He says throwing the old bag of popcorn in the trash. Standing up he gracefully catches the mtn. dew up side his head. "Hey! What was that for?" he exclaims rubbing his head and picking up the can.
"Sorry, you said throw ya one though." I then hand him another mtn. dew and place the other back inside the refrigerators. 'Maybe I'll get lucky and Jackson will open that one. I still owe him one for that last prank he pulled on me.' Miley thinks as she remembers when Jackson replaced her shampoo with a giant bottle of toothpaste. 'I don't even know who would need that much toothpaste in the first place!'
"So umm Miles, like I said I've been thinking alot lately." he begins stammering again. Obviously nervous about something.
"Whats wrong Oliver? What have you been thinking about?"
"Well I don't know how to say this, but umm uhh.."
"Oh come on Oaken spit it out. You can tell me anything. I'm your friend." she says laying her hand on his shoulder to comfort him.
"Well ok, but promise you won't hate me?"
"Of course not Oliver! I would never hate you" Why would she hate Oliver? She would never hate him. He was the very reason she left Jake for after all! And even though she never told anyone about that, it was still hard for her sometimes to hide her true feelings for Oliver.
"Well Miles, I love you! And I wish we could be together, ya know more than friends. Like you as my girlfriend." He then turns around his back to me bowing his head down. He was embarrassed, embracing himself to be rejected. His arms began to shake as he awaits for her response after opening up his heart to her.
"Oliver." She begins putting her hand back on his shoulder and turning him around a little. "Oliver look up." she whispers to him and places her hand on his chin. Then gradually lifts his head to face her. A look of almost pure terror on his face. As if waiting to be slapped.
'I know she doesn't like me' Oliver thinks. 'What was I doing letting her know how I feel. Ive ruined our friendship now'. He then slowly begins to look away. Afraid to look at Mileys expression.
"Oliver, I feel the same way about you."
"What, you do!" he exclaims the nervous burden lifting from him.
"Yes, you're the reason I left Jake a few weeks ago. I want to be with you too Oliver."
"I don't know what to say Miles. I never dreamed you felt the same way."
"Then don't say anything." she says pulling him closer. The closer they got, the more special it felt. And as their lips met, the world stopped. And for that moment nothing else mattered. They were finally together.
Then a sudden "Ding!" broke there long awaited kiss. Both slowly pulling apart and looking to the direction of the noise. Miley knew the popcorn wasn't done she had put it in for 5 minutes. 'I knew it hadn't been 5 minu...' Miley begins then stops mid-thought.
The timer hadn't went off on its own...
A/N: Hmm I wonder who cut the microwave off. Guess you'll have to find out next chapter. R&R please.
This first chapter was originally written in first person, but was later changed to third person to go along with the rest of the chapters. I will do a new draft of it and fix the problems of 1st/3rd person grammatic errors. But until I have the time to do so please understand that this problem is only on the first chapter.
