Ok, so here's chapter 3.

Disclaimer: I still don't own Hannah Montana


Miley's POV

This week has been the longest ever and this is before the bet with Lilly has officially started. Each lunch period consisted of Lilly discussing the rules of the bet and what she expects out of us each day. To my dismay, Oliver didn't really help our cause. Even if he disagreed with everything that Lilly had to say, you would never know because his mouth was always full of food.

Our first date will be at the movies. She's making us watch that new Friday the 13th movie that's premiering. For a second I thought that I could get out of it because neither Oliver, Lilly, nor myself could buy a ticket for a R-rated movie. However, she planned ahead and will be dragging Jackson along to buy the tickets and accompany her while she watches us during our date. Apparently, she wants to keep tabs on me so I don't just leave. Why isn't this girl an evil genius when I'm dealing with Amber and Ashley or even Mikalya?

The movie doesn't start until 7:00 so I had some time at home before I had to go out. Of course, Lilly followed me home today. Lucky me! She spent a half-an-hour in the Hannah closet picking out the "perfect" outfit for our date. She didn't seem to get the fact that most of it will be spent in a dark movie theatre.

It's about 6:30 and Oliver should be over any minute. I don't understand why I'm feeling…nervous about tonight. It's not like this is the first time that I've gone to the movies with him and it's not like it's a real, actual date. We're just pretending to shut Lilly up once and for all about us. Yeah…that's it.

I hear the doorbell ring.

"Oh Miley, your date is here", says Lilly in a teasing voice.

I get up to open the door to reveal Oliver. Are those…flowers in his hand?

"Hey Miley, I got you these", he says as he hands me the flowers. Wow that's actually really…sweet of him.

"Thanks, let me put these in some water and then we can go", I say.

"Look at that, Ollie brought flowers for his Miley", teases Lilly. I just respond by glaring at her. Of course she would use that to torture me.

I was almost finished putting the flowers in the vase when my dad decided to come downstairs. Oh boy, I didn't quite mention this whole thing with Oliver to him. I wonder what will happen to the bet if my dad chases Oliver half-way across Malibu? Daddy has never liked it when I dated.

"Hey bud, heading out with Lilly and Ol…where did you get those flowers?" he asks glaring at me.

"Oh Oliver brought them. Miley and Oliver are actually going on their first date", says Lilly. Oh sweet niblets! Is she trying to get me yelled at and Oliver killed?

"Is that so", he answers. "Oliver come over here boy".

Oliver reluctantly did what he was told. What was daddy going to do to him? Scream at him? Kill him? Oliver was only a foot from him when suddenly…

"Finally!" exclaimed my dad as he picked up Oliver and engulfed in a huge bear hug.

"Mr. Stewart…can't breathe", said Oliver after the shock passed.

"Sorry son, you just have no idea how long I've been waiting for this", he says as he put Oliver down. "Miley you finally picked a boy that I actually like".

"But…" I start to say but Lilly pulls me away.

"Come on Miley, you two Oliver. Jackson is waiting for us in his car", she says.

"Have fun", says my dad as we left the house.

We arrived at the movies soon after. Jackson bought the tickets like he said he would and we were soon in. Oliver and I were seated in the center of the theatre, while Lilly and Jackson were seated towards the back row, so that they could keep an eye on us at all times. Oliver, for some reason, didn't buy seemingly the entire supply of food at the concession stand. He just got popcorn and soda for both of us.

It didn't take long for me to be reminded why I don't watch horror movies. Anyone who enjoys this stuff is sick and twisted. I spent a lot of the beginning of the movie with my eyes closed. After about 20 minutes or so I open my eyes, only to find that I can't see the screen anymore. I then notice that I'm no longer sitting up in my seat. I'm leaning into someone. Not just anyone though. I'm leaning against Oliver. My face is against the side his chest and my arms are wrapped around him. He has an arm around me in a…protective position.

I turn my head towards the screen and there seems to break in the action. I should be able to sit back up straight.

Why isn't my body responding? Ok arms, it's time to let go of our guy best friend. Why aren't you letting go? Why are you squeezing him tighter? I don't know why I'm holding him like this. I mean…it's Oliver, my donut best friend. A thought scarier than this movie just flashed across my mind. I'm not uncomfortable in this position.

Lily is going to have a field day with this when we get home.

Oliver's POV

Wow Miley's been holding on to me for a long time. I'm not going to bother her though. I mean she just stopped shaking and she seems to feel safe at the moment. I'm not going to mess that up right now. To be honest, I'm not sure if she even realizes what's happening right now.

I'm not complaining one bit though. Surprisingly this isn't as awkward as I thought it might be. It's actually quite comfortable to have her holding on to me like this. It just feels right. It's nothing like holding Joanie or Becca. Don't get me wrong, it was nice and I did like them, but this is something completely different. A good different.

The movie is almost over. I honestly have little clue of what happened after the first half hour or so. All I could think about was Miley. I can't think about her like this though. It's not like she could ever like me. I'm just her donut best friend who she's dating on a bet with Lilly. As far as the holding goes, I blame the movie. If we went to see anything else, things would be much different.

After the movie we get up and leave. Miley and Lilly go to the bathroom before we hit the road. I was minding my own business when Jackson came up to me with a smirk on his face.

"So Oken, you enjoy the movie?" he asks.

"Yeah, it was pretty good I guess", I answer rather quickly.

"What you got there?" he asks pointing to the bag of popcorn in my hand.

"Popcorn", I say. What's so interesting about popcorn?

"Interesting…Oliver Oken is holding a bag of unfinished popcorn. That has to be a first", he says.

"So…" I say.

"Dude, you're in deeper than I thought", he states.

Miley's POV

"So Miley how did you like the movie?" asks Lily.

"I hate scary movies", I answer.

"Good thing you had your Ollie then. You looked quite comfortable after you started snuggling up against him", teases Lily.

"Sweet nibblets girl, it was just because I was scared of the movie. It has nothing to do with any feelings for Oliver that you claim I have", I answer.

"Just stay in denial. I'm sure you'll give in to your true feelings before the week is over", she says.


I was disappointed to only get 2 reviews for the last chapter after 7 for the first. I really appreciate feedback and suggestions to improve the story.

Also if you have suggestions for future date ideas, that would be awesome too.
