Episode 2: The Procrastination of My Life
Chapter 2
The rest of the day was spent with the girls doing their History assignment which was just to read twenty pages. After their activities earlier, they decided that they really didn't have time to read their sixty pages of Psychology if they were going to go out on a date tonight.
When they were finished, they got ready to go out to dinner. Miley wanted to take Lilly some place nice since she figured they both deserved it after their first week of college. Mallory already texted Miley asking if they wanted to have dinner with he but she texted back say no because she and Lilly were going out. Mallory actually invited herself to go out with them but Miley quickly told Mallory that it was a date for just the two of them. Miley was already starting to have doubts about Mallory. She just had a bad feeling but she figured she would just let it go and enjoy her night with Lilly.
After they finished getting ready, Miley drove them to a fancy restaurant. Sure, she knew it was probably expensive but she wanted to give her Lilly the best.
They walked in and were seated pretty quickly. There was music playing and a few couples dancing on the dance floor over at the other side of the restaurant.
"Miles, how did you find out about this place? It's probably so expensive," Lilly said looking around the restaurant.
"I looked it up besides, I was Hannah Montana, it's not like I can't afford it. I wanted to take my best girl to the best place because that's what she deserves."
Lilly looked at Miley and reached across the table for her hand which Miley graciously took.
"You're too good to me Miles," Lilly said with a smile. Miley responded by lifting Lilly's hand up to her lips and giving it a gentle kiss.
Miley smiled at Lilly, she really did love her. She almost couldn't believe that Lilly was really hers. She was about to respond when an older lady walked up to her. "Excuse me, Miss Stewart?" Miley looked up and smiled at the lady who was holding out a pen and paper. "Would you mind giving me an autograph? My granddaughter is a huge fan."
Miley smiled and said, "Of course, what's her name?"
"Brittany," the older woman said as she handed Miley the pen. Miley signed her name and wrote a message. The older woman thanked her and walked off. Miley and Lilly continued to talk as a couple of more people came up to Miley to get an autograph. Some even asked Lilly for an autograph once they realized she was Lola.
When their dinner came, people left them alone to enjoy there dinner. "Dang, I love my fans but I thought going to a fancier restaurant would mean less people coming up to me."
Lilly looked at her, "Miley, people love you, it comes with the territory. You knew this would happen once you took off the wig."
"I know I know, I'm just being grouchy. I just wanted you to have a nice time-"
"I am having a nice time Miles," Lilly said as she smiled Miley. "I know that whenever we go out, we won't have as much privacy as we used to but I want to be with you so I can live with it."
Miley smiled and nodded. "I'm glad. I just know Mamaw-"
"Miley Stewart, I am nothing like your Mamaw. I will not start an argument with you just because we can't have time alone in public." Lilly said, cutting her off.
"Yes mam," Miley said as she took another bite of her food. She knew Lilly was right but she couldn't help but wonder. Could Lilly deal with it? What if she woke up one morning and decided she couldn't deal with it and broke up with her. Miley didn't think she could handle that.
"Miles?"
"Huh? What?" Miley asked, not hearing Lilly's question.
"I asked if you liked your food."
"Oh, yeah, it's fine."
"Miley, is everything ok? I can tell something is on your mind."
"Lils, are you sure you can deal with this?" Miley asked.
"Deal with what?"
"You know, this." Miley said again. When she realized Lilly couldn't tell what she was talking about she said, "You know, fans coming up to us constantly and asking for an autograph. The paparazzi will also be on us whenever we go out. Are you sure you can deal with that?"
"Of course I can deal with it as long as you're with me," Lilly said with a reassuring smile.
Miley smiled, "Then forever?"
"Until the day I die Miles," Lilly said as she squeezed Miley's hand.
After they finished eating, a son g came on that Miley remembered from her childhood. Her father used to sing it to her mother but he changed the words around so it fit her but this song was exactly what Miley thought of Lilly. She quickly took Lilly's hand and led her over to the dance floor. Miley put her arms around Lilly's waist as Lilly put her arms around Miley's neck. The music filled the room as the two girls swayed back and forth and Miley started softly singing the song to Lilly.
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Lilly smiled up at Miley and rested her head on Miley's shoulder. She had a flashback to when she and Miley went to their senior prom. Oliver was on tour and Jesse was busy doing something in his new band so she and Miley just decided to go together. They would slow dance and make fun of the other couples. Little did they know, they both had growing feelings for each other.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue
Miley gently ran her hand through Lilly's silky blonde hair as the rest of the world faded around them. She sometimes still couldn't believe that she and Lilly got to the point that they did in their relationship. In fact, sometimes it felt like it was all a dream.
That is why all the girls in town
Follow you
All around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Miley changed the part where she was supposed to sing all the girls in town to all the boys in town. Lilly giggled softly as she noticed Miley changed the lyrics. It was true that all the boys in high school liked Lilly. Lilly didn't always notice it but Miley did. She didn't realize then but she always got a tinge of jealousy when another boy would ask her out.
On the day that you were born the angels got together

Close to you
Just like me, they long to be

As the song ended, Miley and Lilly stayed in their embrace but Lilly lifted her head from Miley's shoulder and looked into Miley's blue gaze. They leaned in and shared a soft kiss then they pulled apart and smiled back at each other as they went back to their table.
After they paid for their meal, they walked to their car and were halfway there when they heard a familiar, nasally voice behind them.
"Hann-, oh I mean Miley!"
"Oh no, Lilly mumbled. Miley slowly turned around and came face to face with Traci Van Horn, the squeaky voiced girl that was friends with Hannah Montana and enemies with Lola Luftnagle which now the world knows as Miley and Lilly.
"Hey Trace, what's up?" Miley said putting a fake smile on her face that could fool everyone except Lilly.
"Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm running into you and, um, what's your name again?" Traci said looking at Lilly.
"Lilly, my name is Lilly. Doesn't surprise me that you don't remember my name," Lilly said crossing her arms and glaring at her.
"What every, Miley, I can't believe you never told me your secret, we are best friends." Traci said, totally oblivious to the look Lilly was giving her.
Lilly rolled her eyes and scoffed, "Oh please, you probably wouldn't even speak to her if she wasn't famous while me, her real best friend, cared for her way before I knew she was Hannah Montana." Miley could tell Lilly was getting pretty mad so she wrapped her arms around Lilly's shoulders. Lilly looked up at her and smiled while putting her arm around Miley's waist.
Traci noticed how close they seemed to be, in fact, she always did. "What's going on with you two?"
"Oh, um, well, Traci, Lilly and I are dating. We love each other," Miley said as she squeezed Lilly's shoulder with her hand.
Traci started laughing and said, "Ok, that was a good one, I know you're trying to get back at me for the prank I pulled on you with Jake." When she saw that neither Miley nor Lilly were laughing, she stopped and said, "Wait are you two serious?"
"Yeah," Miley said with Lilly nodding, the glare still on her face as she looked at Traci.
"Oh, well, it is getting a little crowded here. Hasta la pasta," Traci said as she turned and walked off. Miley rolled her eyes and mumbled under her breath, "Finally." Lilly laughed and lightly smacked her belly as they went back to the car.
When they got to the car, Miley opened her car door for Lilly and closed it when she was in the car then Miley walked around the car and got into the driver's seat. "Why did we have to run into her," Miley asked.
"I don't know, she was your friend, not mine. She just served great food," Lilly said with a smile.
Miley shook her head slowly, "You and your food. Is there anything you love more?" Miley said, teasingly.
"Hmmm," Lilly said acting like she was thinking.
"Hey, that wasn't a trick question!" Miley said as she looked at Lilly. Lilly laughed and leaned forward and kissed her lips.
"I don't love anything or anyone as much as I love my Miley," Lilly said as she laid her head on Miley's shoulder.
"I love you too," Miley said. She kissed Lilly on the top of her head then drove out of the parking lot. When they got back to their dorm room, Miley took out her phone to check for any messages.
There was a group text for her and Lilly from Oliver saying:
'Hey guys, hope you're having fun in college! I wanted to tell you that my band will be coming and performing near you and was wondering if you wanted to come? You guys can hang out backstage.'
Miley looked up at Lilly who was also checking her texts. She met Miley's gaze and smiled, nodding her head. So Miley sent a quick text back saying that they would be there. Then she sat down on the bed and opened her next text. It was from Mallory.
'Hey! Have you started on the Psychology homework? If I remember correctly, you were a huge procrastinator back in school."
Miley smiled and texted back that she and Lilly were saving that for last. Miley was always the procrastinator. Miley thought back to a memory of when she and Lilly were thirteen.
"Come on Miles, we need to get this math homework done," Lilly said as Miley was picking out another movie.
It was Sunday night and Lilly had spent the whole weekend with Miley. They finished all of their homework Friday night except for math. They hated math but whenever Lilly would suggest them going ahead and getting it done, Miley would find something for them to do that was more fun.
"How about we watch another movie Lils," Miley said as she grabbed one of the newest romantic comedies to come out on DVD.
Lilly sighed and laid back on Miley's bed. "Anything for the queen of procrastination. Hey, have you begun that book we have to read by next month?"
Miley was messing with the dvd player as she said, "Does the cover page count?"
Lilly rolled her eyes and chuckled, "I wish I had gotten that far."
Miley laughed as she laid down on the bed next to Lilly. "I now step down as the procrastination queen and name you the new queen."
Lilly grabbed a pillow and hit Miley in the face with it. "In your dreams Stewart."
"Hey!" Miley yelled as she laughed. She grabbed a pillow from behind her and hit Lilly with it until they were having a pillow fight.
It was a while before they got their math homework done.
She smiled at the memory as she closed her phone. She was never as close to Mallory as she was Lilly. Lilly was just special. Maybe it was because she had been in love with her for years and didn't realize it then again, maybe not. Maybe it went deeper. Lilly was a really nice and caring person who would do anything for her. That proved to be what was needed after her mother died. Miley didn't think she would have ever gotten through that if she had never moved to Malibu and never met Lilly. Funny how one little decision can change your life forever.
A few seconds later, Lilly walked out of the bathroom and stood between Miley's legs and put her arms around Miley's shoulders. Miley smiled and wrapped her arms around Lilly's waist and rested her head on Lilly's belly.
"Thanks for dinner tonight Miles, I really enjoyed it," Lilly said as she ran her hand through Miley's hair.
Miley sighed against Lilly's belly as she said, "I did too Lils. Of course I always love doing things with you. You're all I need."
"And you're all I need," Lilly said as she bent down and kissed Miley on the top of her head. Miley lifter her head up so that she could kiss Lilly but then Lilly's cell phone went off indicating that she got a text message.
"Oh shoot," Lilly grumbled as she took out her phone. She opened it up to see a text from Destiny asking if Miley and Lilly wanted to go to the beach with her and Emily tomorrow. She looked from her phone to Miley as she said, "Hey, Destiny and Emily want us to go to the beach with them tomorrow. What should I tell them?"
Miley looked at Lilly and said, "Well, tomorrow is Saturday and we still have psychology and that English paper to write."
"That's true," Lilly said, "but Emily said that she could surf and you know I haven't surfed in a while. Plus, our homework can wait," Lilly said as she texted Destiny back saying they would be there.
"Gosh Lilly, your becoming worse than me," Miley said as she rolled her eyes. Lilly poked Miley in the ribs.
"You take that back," Lilly said.
"Will not, it's true."
"Yeah whatever," Lilly said as she leaned down and gave Miley a deep kiss.
After a few minutes they pulled away as Miley stood up. "Alright, let's go to bed."
The next morning they got up at around nine o'clock and met Destiny and Emily for breakfast with the agreement that they would all go to the beach together afterwards. Miley and Lilly put their swimsuits in and just wore some shorts and a t shirt over it.
They all met down in the cafeteria and got their breakfast. Lilly saw that Emily brought her surfboard.
"Hey, you surf?" Lilly asked with a huge grin in her face.
"Yeah, I love it. I've tried to get Destiny to try it but she won't." Emily said smiling at Destiny.
"You know how bad I am at sports Emily, I lose my balance super easily."
Miley cut in and said, "I do too Destiny, that's why I usually just watch Lils. Besides, she's cute when she surf's," which caused Lilly to blush slightly and gently elbow her girlfriend. Miley put her arm around Lilly's shoulders and kissed the side of her head.
After they finished eating, Miley drove them all to the nearest beach that Lilly had found while she was driving up to Stanford. When they got their towels and everything unpacked, Lilly got out her bag of suntan lotions.
"Gee Lilly, how much suntan lotion you got there?" Destiny asked. "You have enough to cover a whole army."
Miley laughed and put her arm around Lilly's shoulders and said, "That's my girl, she always carries everything we might need. My favorite is the toilet paper with aloe."
"Hey, I can't help that I'm prepared for anything," Lilly said.
"I know and that's why I love you," Miley said as she gave Lilly a kiss on the lips.
When they pulled away, Miley reached into the bag and grabbed suntan lotion. "Alright Lils, turn around so I can get your back."
"Come on Miles, I'm about to go surfing, it'll just come off in the water," Lilly argued but the look Miley gave her told her that this wasn't a fight she was going to win. When they were thirteen she had told Miley the same thing so Miley didn't argue with her about it. She wound up having a terrible sunburn afterwards. "Fine," Lilly grumbled as she turned around.
Miley squirted some lotion in her hands and started putting it on Lilly's back and shoulders. She looked up to see Destiny doing the same with Emily. Usually this would have not caught her attention, but she saw the look Destiny was giving to Emily and how Destiny was trying to make sure she got every part of her best friend.
She had been wondering if there was something more than just friendship between Destiny and Emily. They were just more affectionate with each other. Kind of like she and Lilly used to be before they admitted their love for each other.
She looked back down at Lilly and could tell by the look on her face that she was thinking along the same thought process. She decided that she would talk to Lilly about it later. It was obvious that Emily and Destiny had something. They may have just been too afraid to admit it. Just like she and Lilly had been.
After they thoroughly applied their suntan lotion, Lilly and Emily picked up their surfboards. "Ok, we'll be back in a little bit, depends on how good the waves are," Lilly said as she gave Miley a quick kiss. When they pulled away, Miley noticed Emily and Destiny giving each other a lingering hug.
"Ok, be careful," Miley said as Emily and Lilly walked off towards the ocean. "She looked at Destiny and said, "Come on, we'll get our surfer girls some drinks and a snack for when they come back.
They started walking towards the nearby snack stand as Miley looked through her wallet to make sure she had brought her credit cards. When she saw that she had, she took out the credit card she was planning on using. "I remember when Lilly and I lived at my old house, before we got the ranch house, my house was right next to the beach. My brother actually worked at the snack stand. Unfortunately it was run by a little rug rat named Rico. There was no such thing as a discount."
"Yeah," Destiny said as she picked up a small rock and threw it in the ocean. Miley could hear the far away tone in her voice and she looked over to see a far-away look on her face.
"Is everything ok, Destiny?" Miley asked, concerned.
"Miley, can I ask you something?" Destiny asked, stopping to stare out at the ocean where she could see Emily surfing.
"Of course," Miley said.
"When did you realize you were in love with Lilly? How did you know?"
Miley was taken a back for a few seconds but quickly recovered when she thought about Lilly. "Well, I think it was when I realized that I couldn't be without her. When I was in Paris, all I could think about was her. There I was, in a beautiful city like Paris that so many people dream of going to, and I hated every minute of it. I even slept with her hat because it smelled like her," Miley said as she laughed at the memory. "But then, whenever I was around her, my heart would beat faster. I would get terribly jealous when she and Oliver kissed or flirted with each other. I wanted it to be me who did that with her. I started noticing how beautiful she was. Her blonde hair fell over her shoulders, her beautiful blue eyes. Her smile, her laugh. She was just perfect. No one else could match up to her."
Destiny smiled then turned back and started walking towards the shack again.
Miley followed and said, "Why? Do you have someone you're interested in?"
"Yeah but I'm afraid to tell them. I don't know how they'll take it."
Miley realized Destiny used 'they' instead of 'he or she.' She decided she needed to fish for more information. "Well, I'm sure if he's a true friend, he won't stop being friends with you just because of that."
"She." Destiny mumbled softly.
Miley's head whipped around. She really wasn't shocked but she had to pretend she was. "Destiny say what!?"
"The person I'm in love with is a she. It's Emily," Destiny said.
