Everyone could tell we had incredible chemistry. Julie was beyond happy that we worked so well together. I think I was probably the only one that was upset. Sure it was an amazing kiss but I after it was over I realized that all it would ever be was a kiss for a scene. Nothing else.
I was utterly exhausted after a really long day on set. So when I got back to the house I had dinner and then decided I wanted to go in the hot tub. About 10 minutes after I got in I saw Liam walking over. I was excited to see him but at the same time I didn't want to seem him. I felt awkward and tense. I didn't want my feelings to get in the way of having a normal friendship. But after the kiss I realized the connection I felt to him was too strong. I couldn't manage just being friends with him. It was going to have to be an all or nothing deal. Either just strictly for business or dating. And since dating was basically not going to happen I had to talk to him.
"Hey!" he said. I smiled and said hey. Was it rude not to ask him to join me? I guess I should.
"Wanna join?" He nodded his head and took of his shirt to get in. Shit telling him it was only going to business was going to be so much harder looking at him like that. It didn't necessarily feel like the greatest time to tell him either. I mean him in nothing but his boxers and me in my skimpy bikini out there alone in a hot tub just seemed a little weird. But I felt like I needed to tell him and get it over with.
"Long day huh? I don't know how you stand all the vigorous stuff day in and day out. It's incredible."
"You get used to it. I'm sure if I was doing physical labor laying floors every day like you used to I'd be saying the same thing. I guess it's like habit. Yeah it's tiring but when you are used to what you do it doesn't seem it anymore." I could tell by the look on his face he was a little shocked by my answer.
"Wow. You seem so strong? It's amazing how positive you are about like everything."
"Thanks. I try to be. But believe me it gets hard and sometimes I can't deal with it." We sat there in somewhat awkward silence for a few moments before we both spoke at the same time. "Liam I have to talk to you—" "Miley there's something I want to talk—"
We laughed and I said "you first." I still needed to get guts to tell him. Besides maybe he was going to say the same thing.
"I want to talk to you about something regarding what happened today. Um well—"
"Is everything okay? Want me to go fir—" Before I knew what was happening he grabbed my face and kissed me hard on the lips. What was going on? I wanted to keep kissing him but had to find out what was on his mind. I pulled away.
"Shit!" He said under his breath. "I'm going to actually get the balls to tell you this. From the moment I laid eyes on you I have wanted to be yours. I don't think you even realize how stunning you are inside and out. I'll admit I was stupid to actually believe some of the things I heard about you through the media. But in the past few months what I've realized is how they are complete and utter lies. You are just so amazing and poised I am in total shock. When I saw yesterday how vulnerable you were with those paparazzi and people it hurt me and I just wanted to protect you. I care for you so much and I'm not saying you have to give me an answer now but I'd love it with could get to know each other more and maybe start something—" He was rambling to much. I needed to stop it. This time it was me who grabbed his face and kissed him hard. We kissed for a while. Like our kiss from on set it felt like the rest of the world melted and it was just the two of us. It was different though, nicer since it was private. Nobody watching us, no acting, totally and completely real and we both wanted it so badly. After about 2 minutes I broke the kiss.
"Everything you said to me…thank you. It means so much. And as if that kiss wasn't enough of a confirmation, I really like you too. Liam you are so real. When you held the door for me the first time we met…no other guy has ever done that for me. The few times we've been together in person over the past few months have just been incredible. You are so kind and down to earth. Thank you for being so amazing. You are such a gentleman, unlike some of the other dicks I've dated." I smirked and kissed him. "We still don't know each other that well so I think we should take it one day at a time and see where it takes us. Ease into it with nothing official or exclusive but definitely something!"
"I agree." He smiled and kissed me quickly on the lips. I leaned in and snuggled up to him putting my head against his chest. His skin was so soft and warm. I could hear his heartbeat against my ear. It was amazing. He put his arm around me. And we spent the next 2 hours talking about anything and everything. Our hopes, dreams, fears, what upset me about my fame, what I liked about my fame what we thought was screwed up about the world, our hope for world peace, our families and friends, our past relationships and why we thought we could be different and more successful than any other screwed up relationship we had. It was such a mature, adult conversation. I was never able to talk so candidly to Justin or Nick this way. I felt so comfortable with him. It was the perfect start to a perfect relationship. Well maybe a perfect start…
