Chapter 3 – Decisions on Where To Sleep
"Nick! Can you help me with the tent?" Miley asked, struggling with sticks and sheets.
Nick approached her and placed a hand on her back. "Of course." He said.
He grabbed her wrists and started to teach her how to adjust the tent.
"Thanks." Miley said breathlessly.
Nick chuckled. "Anytime." Nick said, his face an inch away from hers.
Miley brushed her lips against his and turned to face Jackson, who was gathering wood.
"Need help?" Miley offered. Jackson's face was red and he was carrying more than he should.
"No thanks." Jackson puffed. Miley shrugged and checked on Joe.
Joe was poking at a dead animal and Miley scolded him and told him to help Jackson.
Lilly and Kevin were unloading everyone's things and placed them on the ground.
"Okay. Lilly and Miley in one tent, Joe and Nick in the second one, and Jackson and I in the third." Kevin said simply, wiping his hands on his denim shorts.
"I have a better idea! Lilly and I in one tent, Nick and Miley in the second one, and Jackson and Kevin in the third one." Joe commanded.
"Nice try. I know you'll be making out or something." Kevin shot back.
"Please? One night!" Lilly exclaimed.
"What do you do in the tent?" Jackson asked, feeling overprotective of Miley.
"Talk. Kiss. Talk some more." Miley stated.
"Sounds interesting." Kevin said sarcastically.
"It is." Nick insisted. Miley and Lilly were as red as tomatoes. The thoughts in their head were, Sharing a tent with my boyfriend? OH MY JONAS! That would be the best way to get to know each other better. And I'm SO not going to do 'it'.
They giggled and the boys glanced at them.
"What's so funny?" Joe asked exasperated.
Miley shrugged. "I'm going to go see if there are any lakes around here." She said.
"I'll come with you. I wouldn't want you to be eaten by a bear." Nick said, grabbing Miley's hand and they ran deeper into the forest.
