'Miley are you busy with something today?' Nick asked over the phone. Liam was somewhat pissed. He was trying to ask out his fiancée. 'It's not Miley and you really shouldn't be calling'. Nick didn't like it that Liam was answering and couldn't help contain his jealously. 'Hand the phone over to Miley'. Liam smirked 'I don't think so'.
Nick replied 'Fine by me. Miley said that she wanted me to meet you. So is tonight dinner at her place?' . Liam went along with it and hung up. He couldn't quite figure out why did Miley wanted Nick to meet him. He went downstairs looking all confused and was being snapped out by Miley's question. 'What took you so long?' She asked. Liam walked over to the table and sat down in front of bacons and scrambled eggs. He looked at Miley and said 'Nick called'. Miley frozed. A million questions raced through her head. Liam continued…'He wanted to come over for dinner. He said you wanted him to meet me'. Miley thought of what she texted Nick a few weeks ago because she wanted to show Nick that they can be friends instead without making things weird. But obviously it was a big mistake.
She agreed as they sat by the table and did not say another word to each other throughout breakfast.
As half the day gone by, Miley and Liam started preparing for dinner. It was going to be a awkward dinner they just know it but Miley is marrying Liam and she needs to learn how to face Nick as friends. Miley was doing most of the cooking as Liam watched. Even the thought of Miley cooking for Nick makes him feel uncomfortable…It is hardly possible that Liam can last throughout dinner.
Eventually the doorbell rang and Liam opened up. Nick stood by the driveway holding a bouquet of daffodils. He invited him in and Liam never took his eyes away from the bouquet…Miley told him she was allergic to daffodils…
Nick walked in and greeted Miley. He then went around venturing the house only to see that nothing much has changed around here…the red leather couch, the music themed living room and the country decorations. Liam felt like a sore thumb sticking out in the trio as Nick and Miley was always into the same things. He on the other hand know nothing about music he lived by the beach his whole life!
'Dinner is served' Miley yelled from the dinning room as the boys made their way over. Nick and Liam both reached out for the same chair as they looked at each other awkwardly. Miley avoided the situation by pretending to not see it and walk right back into the kitchen and stayed there for a few minutes with her face buried in her hands.
Nick smiled politely at Liam and said 'Sorry about that, I guess it's your seat now'. Liam smiled back as they sat down. Miley then walked out of the kitchen and sat directly opposite of Nick as they started dinning. It was a strange meal but they were able to survive past it. They then rested for a while by the couch as Miley did the dishes…her intentions were clear. She didn't want to be in the same room as Nick and Liam. She wouldn't know what to say. Liam however started the ball rolling as he asks Nick about their new album. Nick replied straight to the point as he knew Liam was eventually going to ask about 'wedding bells'. He said 'Liam, don't get me wrong, me and Miley are just trying to be friends…' Liam stood up and started yelling 'Friends? You poured your entire heart out to Singapore Manila Cebu already'
Miley heard yelling rushed into the common room. Nick stood up and replied 'Im sorry if that makes you uncomfortable but im a musician and that's what I do' Miley looked as Nick and Liam were standing there looking at her as if they were expecting her to pick a side. Liam scoffed 'Of course im uncomfortable! Miley listens to that song every single day!' Nick looked over at Miley who was shocked. She didn't know how to explain herself. She opened her mouth and a few words came out… 'Nick, I think you should go'
Nick nodded as he walked out of Miley's house and sat in his car. He kept thinking about Miley listening to his song over and over again. He was glad that it still gets to her. Although Miley said she'll always love him, he's insecurity has gotten the best of him after Miley got engaged to Liam.
Over with Miley and Liam, Miley was trying to calm Liam down. She said while walking towards him 'Im sorry, this dinner was a mistake…' Liam nodded as he pulled her into a hug 'Im sorry too, I trust you and I love you' Miley looked up at Liam and smiled. Inside her, she was going crazy. Liam trusts her…Miley cannot even trust herself. She felt really guilty as she knew in her heart that Nick and she are inseparable. She learnt that she could never be 'just friends' with Nick. She walked up to her room as Liam followed and laid on the bed and thought to herself 'Was she really going to agree to this marriage?'
