Chapter 7
Oh, My God! It's Four O'clock!
Have you ever had one of those mornings when your mind wakes up even before you open your eyes? Well, this morning I did, and I was totally shocked when I smelt a vaguely familiar colon, and the warmth of a body next to me, and the weirdest thing was I felt totally safe.
I finally decided on opening my eyes. I rubbed my eyes gently and looked up at Jake's sleeping body. I stared at him for the longest time. He facial expression looked so peaceful compared to it last night at the beach.
I reached up and traced his face, just like I had done last night, before we fell asleep. Jake moved a little as I touched him and I pulled my finger back quickly, because I was scared I was going to wake him.
I was debating on getting up and taking a shower or staying in bed and waiting for Jake to wake up. After about five minutes of just staring at him, I figured I should take a shower while I waited for Jake to wake up.
I moved Jake's arm; that was wrapped around my waist and got off my bed, stretched. I walked into my closet and grabbed my towel and tank top and a pair of faded blue jeans, then walked into my bathroom and turned on the warm water and stripped down and hopped into the shower.
When my shower was done, I quick got changed into the clothes I brought with me into the bathroom, and then walked back to my room to find Jake still asleep. I smiled and walked over, pushing some hair out of his face.
He looked so tired, I figured I would just let him sleep, and I would go downstairs and bring him some breakfast up.
I quickly threw my hair up into a ponytail and walked down my stairs into my kitchen where my dad and Jackson were eating pancakes.
"Mornin' daddy, hi Jackson." I said as I jumped down the last two stairs.
Jackson grumbled a hello, obviously annoyed I woke him up last night.
"Good mornin' Miles. How are you doing? Did you sleep after your 'dream' last night?" my dad asked a little worried.
"I'm fine daddy and yes, I did sleep." I said cheerily.
"Why are you so happy-pappy this morning?" Jackson asked curiously, like he knew Jake slept over.
"Um… I don't know, its Saturday… which means, no school?" I said trying to sound convincing.
"Sure…" Jackson said narrowing his eyes.
"Okay then…" I said as I grabbed five pancakes.
"Whoa, Miles, I don't think you need to eat, that much food!" My dad said as I grabbed some bacon and eggs as well.
"What can I say, I'm a growing girl, and I need my food, plus I have a concert tonight and I don't want to go hungry!" I lied trying to pick up both plates without dropping them.
"Alright darlin' if your still hungry, just come back down and I'll make you some more." My dad said before I ran up the stairs carrying a plate full of eggs and bacon and another plate full of pancakes.
I balanced the plates on top of each while I opened the door to find Jake still asleep which I wasn't really surprised by. I smiled then remember I need drinks, "Crap…" I set the food down on my desk and hurried back down the stairs.
"Darlin' please don't tell me that you already ate all that?" My dad said once I hopped down the stairs.
"No, I remember I need a drink." I said trying to sneak two glasses and the orange juice bottle up the stairs without Jackson or my dad noticing.
"Why do you need all the orange juice?" Why did Jackson pick today to be observant? Why? Why? Why?
"Um…" Come on Miley think of a lie, and quick! "Because my throat is really sore and I want to um… make it wet, by drinking?" wow that lie was pitiful!
"Whatever…" Thank you for not pushing the matter Jackson!
I quickly ran back up the stairs and opened my door to find Jake sitting at my desk eating. I quickly shut my door which caused Jake to jump in surprise.
"Miley!" Jake jumped.
"Shhh!!!" I quickly ran over put my hand over his mouth. "My dad and Jackson are still downstairs!" I whispered.
Jake removed my hand and apologized quietly. "Its okay, they should be heading to the gym shortly though."
"Okay. Hey, Miley?" Jake whispered.
"Yeah Jake?" I said as I put the orange juice and the glasses down.
"Thanks, I really appreciate this…" Jake pulled me into a tight embrace.
"No problem, Jake. If you ever don't want to stay at your house, you can always stay here." Jake pulled back and put two fingers under my chin and kissed me lightly.
"Thanks Miles. I love you." Jake rested his forehead against mine.
"I love you too." Jake pulled back and sat down on my chair in front of my desk and pulled me on his lap.
After we were finished eating I walked downstairs to see if my dad and Jackson had left yet, which they had.
"Okay, their gone." I said to Jake once I walk back into my room.
Jake sighed. "Okay, I'll meet you at the beach at two." Jake kissed my forehead.
"Okay." Jake kissed me again before leaving. I followed him downstairs and grabbed my guitar and walked out onto my patio and started to strum it.
If we were a movie
You be the right guy
And I be the best friend
That you fall in love with
In the end we be laughin'
Watching in the sunset
Fade to black
Show the name
Play that happy song
I sighed putting my guitar down.
Just then, my cell rang.
"Hello?" I answered my phone watching some kids down at the beach flying kites.
"Hey Miley, it's Lily." She sounded a bit depressed. Which made me remember mine and Jake's bet, that Oliver would make a move on her tonight or not.
"Oh hey… how did you 'date' with Oliver go last night?" please say he made a move! Please!
"One! It was not a date! And two, it was fine, we just watched some movies and got dinner at Rico's." Damn! Now Jake is going to dare me to do something really stupid… but maybe he will forget? I thought to myself. "Miley? Hello Miley? Did you hang up?" Lily asked breaking me from my thoughts.
"Oh sorry… I was thinking…" I said absentmindedly.
"Oh okay… so how did your date with Jake go last night?"
"It was good, Jake got the balcony table again… and guess what else?!?! Cody's dad is the head chief and he is working part time there!" For some reason I was happy to be talking about Cody.
"Cool. Hey do you want to come and let me in? I've been knocking on your door for like ten minutes now…"
"Oh! I'm sorry Lily!" I quickly ran to the door and opened it and hung up my cell. "Hey, sorry I was on the patio."
"Yeah, I heard you singing and play guitar." Lily said as she walked in the house and over to the kitchen sniffing. "Oh my god! Did your dad make pancakes this morning?!?!"
I started too laughed. "Yes he did Lily; I think we have a few left. Would you like them?" I asked following her into the kitchen.
"Yes, please!" Lily said sitting down at the counter.
I took out the extra pancakes my dad made me before he left and handed them to her.
"I need a fork and knife too please!" I rolled my eyes at her laziness.
I gave her the fork and knife and walked into the living room and sat down on the couch.
"What's up with you?" Lily said bring the pancakes into the living room and sitting next to me.
I sighed. "Nothing…"
Lily raised her eyebrows at me. "I'm just confused that's all… I had a weird dream last night that just shook me up… but I'm fine. Just tired…"
"Whatever…" She said giving me 'the look.'
"Oh! Drake and Hannah are going to the beach today!" I said remembering our phone call the night before.
"WHAT!?!?" Lily jump so high I was sure she would drop the pancakes, but somehow she didn't even spill the syrup.
"Whoa! Relax Lily!" I said clutching my heart trying to slow my heart down.
"You're hanging out with Drake Connors?!?!" Lily yelled.
"Yes, Lily. Calm down! We don't want the neighbors to hear you!" I shushed her.
"No one is going to hear me!" Lily continued to yell. "Oh my god! I'm going to meet Drake Connors!" oh shoot, our deal…
"Yeah, hey Lily?"
"Oh no, Miles! You promised! You said if I gave up the TV the other night, that you would let me meet Drake Connors if you ever got the chance!"
"I know, but Lily we are going to be talking about maybe doing a duet together so it is going to be really boring…" I already am going to have Jake stalking us; I don't need Lola there staring at him…
"You're doing a duet with Drake Connors?!?!"
I sighed. "I don't know yet, Lily. That is why we are hanging out today. Just to see if we are compatible enough to spent hours together while working on a song."
"Oh my god! You get to spent hours alone with Drake Connors, you're so lucky…" Lily said dazed.
"Not yet Lily, we haven't even decided if we are going to do the duet still."
"Oh my god Miley!" she grabbed my shoulders and started shaking me. "You have to say yes! You just have too! This way m Drake could meet the real me and we can fall in love, get married, and have five kids, then grow old together!" Lily just went on about her life she had planned out for her and Drake while I got up and walked on to the patio and grabbed my guitar, and when I walked back into the living room Lily was still ranting on and on…
I walked and sat next to her again while she just stared off into space, talking absentmindedly. Finally I got annoyed and screamed at her to shut up which woke her up from her daydream.
"Sorry Miles. So…" Lily said nudging my side.
"Okay…" I gave in.
"YES!!! Thank you Miley! You are seriously the bestest best friend any girl could ever have!!!" Lily yelled while hugging me and jumping up and down.
"Okay, Lily calm down! I only ask that we don't repeat the Orlando Bloom incident…" Lily blushed hard.
"Sorry again about that…"
I had to laugh. "Its okay Lily."
Just then my cell went off again. I picked it up and look at the caller ID, it said it was Oliver.
"Hey Oliver."
"Hey Miley, where are you?"
I furrowed my brow. "What do you mean, 'where am I?'"
"Its two forty-five, your supposed to be meeting me, Jake, Lily, and now Cody here about an hour and fifteen minutes ago, and do you know where Lily is? She hasn't shown up either." Oliver asked.
I looked up at the clock in the kitchen above where Lily was washing her plate. "Oh shoot. Sorry Oliver, me and Lily were talking and we lost track of time. We'll be right there."
"Okay, see you in a few, Miles." I hung up the phone and ran into the kitchen and grabbing Lily and running down to the beach to meet the guys.
When me and Lily got to the beach, it was three and we noticed that; Oliver was trying to pick up some girls, Jake was sitting at the counter with Cody talking… Jake actually seem to be enjoying himself.
I ran up behind Jake and wrapped my arms around his waist, "Hey." Jake turned around and kissed me lightly.
"Hey babe."
"Hey Miley, Lily." Cody said from behind Jake.
"Hey." Lily and I said in unison.
"So… What's up?" I asked Jake once we sat down at one of the tables.
"Nothing really, we have just been waiting for you and Lily." Jake smiled.
"Sorry, we lost track of time…" I mumbled.
"It's okay. What were you guys talking about?" Jake asked raising his eyebrows. "Me, perhaps?"
"If we were I wouldn't tell you." I smiled innocently.
"Hey Miles, Jake!" I turned around Lily, Oliver, and Cody were holding towels.
"You guys want to come swimming with us?" Lily asked.
"Yeah sure!" Jake grabbed my hand and we all raced towards the beach.
When we got to the beach we put our towels on the sand and stripped down into our bathing suits, and raced down to the ocean.
"Yes! The winner!" I yelled as we jumped into the water.
"You did not! I won! I was at least a step in front of you!" Jake argued.
"Was not!" I argued back.
"Was too!"
"Noooooooooo!"
"Yessssssssss!"
"No times one thousand! Haha beat that!" I laughed.
"Yes times one million! Ohhhhhhhhhh! What now!?" Jake countered.
"No times…"
"Will you two shut up!?" Oliver yelled before he tackled Jake.
I laughed as Jake came back up and pushed the hair out of his face, "Oh, you think that was funny do you?" Jake raised an eyebrow.
I stopped laughing, "Um…" The next thing I knew Jake had thrown me on his shoulders. "Jake! Jake put me down! AHHHHHH!" I felt cold water consume me when Jake let me go.
When I came up my hair was wet and all in my face that I could even see. When I pushed all the hair out of my face, I saw Jake laughing hysterically at me.
"Oh you are so dead!" I yelled at Jake before tackling him.
When I jumped on Jake, he fell backwards bring me along with him. I ended up landing on top of him with my hands on his chest and his on my lower back and my right leg.
"I really like this landing, don't you?" Jake smiled.
I rolled my eyes as I tried to get up when Jake pulled me back down. "Jake, let me go."
"Why?" I rolled my eyes again trying to get up.
"Because…" I really didn't have a reason and frankly, I didn't really want to get off him, but with Oliver, Lily, and Cody about ten feet away… "Let me go, Jake." I struggled against him hold.
"I ask you again, 'why?'" Jake smiled a very devilish smile.
"Because!"
"EW! Will you two knock it off, or go somewhere else to do that!?" Oliver yelled.
I jumped up as soon as Jake let me go. I glared at him, while he just laughed. I rolled my eyes, "You are so immature sometimes." I said walking up to the towels to drying myself off.
Jake followed me and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind, pushing his entire body against my back. "Will you let me go? I'm trying to dry off, not get wetter." I said in an annoyed voice, trying to shake him off.
"Aw, I'm sorry Miles…" Jake pushed his body away from mine, but left his hands on my waist.
"I'm hungry!" I heard Oliver moan about forty-five minutes after I left the water.
"Then why don't you go and buy something at Rico's?" Lily asked, while lying on her back, tanning.
"Because I don't want to go alone!" Oliver whined.
"You're such a baby, Oliver…" Lily sighed, still not moving.
"Actually I'm getting sort of hungry too." Jake said standing up next to Cody who was reading a book.
"Well, I'm going to stay here and keep on tanning." Lily said as if she was half asleep.
"I'm not really that hungry, I'll just stay here, I think." I said turning my attention to the ocean.
"You know, same here." Cody said putting his book down. "I have to leave in a few minutes anyway."
Jake gave me a quick be-careful glance, which I have know idea why, then left with Oliver.
I got up and walked down by the water, just so my feet were being hit by the waves. It's weird, when I was living back in Tennessee, they don't have any oceans, and now it's like if I didn't see the ocean or hear, maybe even smell it for a day, I think I'd go mad!
"Hey." I turned around and saw Cody wearing a button-down stripped shirt and a pair of black and white shorts. His shirt was totally unbuttoned so I could see his very build six-pack.
"Hi." I turned away quickly to stop myself from staring and to hid the blush that was creeping up on my cheeks.
"So…" Cody said trying to start up a conversation.
"Yeah…" I felt so awkward right now.
"Um… what kind of music are you into?" Cody said trying to break the ice between us.
"I don't know. I like a lot of different stuff…" I shuffled my feet around in the sand.
"Cool. Same here really. So… what do you think of Hannah Montana?" I felt a shock of panic raise throughout my body.
"I… um… she's g-good…" oh no, what if he knows something?
"Yeah, she was pretty famous back in New York, where I lived, and she is even bigger out here. I heard she lives around Malibu too." Okay relax Miley, he is just a fan… he doesn't know anything.
"Yeah, I heard a rumor about that…"
I held my breath expecting him to say like 'you look just like her Miley, or should I say Hannah?' but he didn't. "Yeah… so what do you think of that guy Drake Connors?" Okay this is sort of weird, first we start talking about Hannah, now Drake, and the weirder thing is that they are hanging out in a few minutes… OH MY GOD! I looked at my watch and it was three minutes after four, and u still need to change!
"Cody, I'm sorry, but I have to go! I have a… um thing at four and its three after!" I yelled running back up to the beach stuff where Lily was.
Cody was on my heels as I shook Lily, "I have to go too… um… part time job… thing…" Cody muttered while trying to pick up all his stuff. "Okay, bye!" Cody ran off in the opposite direction.
"LILY! WAKE UP!" I yelled picking up my towel and tossing all the sand off of it.
"Not now Miley, the sun feels too good…" Lily said dazed.
"Lily! If you want to meet Drake Connors, we have to go NOW!" I whispered loudly to her.
Lily jumped up fast than any human could. "Okay let's go!"
Lily and I grabbed our stuff and started running in the direction of my house.
When we got inside we flew up the stairs into my room. "Shit Miley! I don't have my purple wig!" Lily said looking traumatized.
"I have your orange one in the Hannah closet. You'll just have to wear that one unless you want to run to your house and be late seeing Drake?" I tossed her the orange one which she made a face at then put it on.
I quickly grabbed a light blue tank top, a navy hoodie, and a mini skirt and dashed into the bathroom to get changed.
When I came back out Lily, or should I say Lola, was dressed in black ripped jeans and a wacky tee-shirt that I didn't even know how to describe, red flip flops, that didn't match anything, and her orange wig.
"Ready to go?" I asked running to the door of the closet and throwing on a pair of blue flip flops.
"I am, but doing have your Hannah wig on!" Lola tossed me my wig like I had tossed her, hers a few minutes before.
I quickly ran back into the bathroom and threw my hair up into a tight bun, then threw the wig over top of it. "Okay let's go!" I said as we ran out of my closet, out of my room, down my stair, and out of the house.
We ran all the way to Rico's and when we got there I put up my hood so no one would recognize me. I check my watch as we looked around, it was four twenty-two, where was he? After looking around for about five minutes I took out my cell phone about to call him when…
"Hey Hannah?" I heard his voice and I nearly melted without even looking at him. I felt butterflies soaring around in my stomach trying to get free.
I turned around slowly, there he was in a pale blue button-down shirt and fade blue jeans, with his hand covering his face so no one would recognize him. "Hi Drake… nice to meet you." I said quietly.
"Same to you." He flashed a smiled that looked so familiar that it wasn't even funny, like as if I've seen that smile, just told, like an hour ago, or something…
"Oh my god! You're…" I quickly slapped my hand over Lola's mouth.
"Sorry… she's a little um…" I apologized to him.
"It's okay. It's nice to meet you um... Lola, right?" Drake said holding out his hand hesitantly.
I let go of her mouth to let her say hello when she squeaked and grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously.
I quickly clapped my hand over her mouth again to make her stop. "Sorry…" I muttered, embarrassed by my friend.
"Its okay, Hannah. Have you guys eaten or do you want to go for a walk so we don't have to hide or faces as much?" Drake suggested, still holding his hand in front of his beautiful face.
"Yeah sure." Keeping my hand over Lola's mouth we walked to a more secluded part of the beach, where I finally let Lola go.
Drake walked over at sat on a tree that was lying next to the water. "So…"
"So…" It sounded just like the conversation me and Cody had this morning…
"Yeah Drake, so…" Lola said her eyes nearly popping out of her head.
Drake seemed a little weirded out by Lola's actions. "Yeah so um… do you live around here? Like obliviously you live in Malibu, but like how far away from here?" Drake asked looking up at the sky.
I realized I was frozen to the ground, like I couldn't move, I figured I had a really weird expression on my face because of it. "Yeah, I live about three minutes away from Rico's so… what about you?" I unfroze myself and walked over next to him.
"I live pretty close I guess, this place is a lot different from where I used to live." Drake said absentmindedly.
"Oh? Where did you used to live?" I had to say I was a bit curious about this guy.
"I lived in a small town in New York." My eyes widened in shock. New York is where Cody is from, and Cody came to school the day after Drake Connors was introduced into Hollywood on TRL! And they do look a lot alike now that I think about it, they both leave me with a butterfly feeling in my stomach, but they didn't have the same eyes, or the same voice… so I guess Drake Connors and Cody Mathews aren't the same person…
"That's cool." I said sitting on the log next to him.
"You're from Tennessee, right?" Drake looked at me with his intense emerald green eyes.
"Yeah… I miss Tennessee a lot… All my family lives there other than my dad and my brother." It made me depressed to think about my family that I haven't seen in forever.
"I'm sorry, I left my grandparents back in New York, so I sort of know what you are going through… but I have only been here two weeks now so…" He was really sweet.
"Its okay, I'm sorry you had to leave your grandparents back in New York." I smiled at him.
Drake returned the smiled and looked over my shoulder. "Um…" Drake pointed over my shoulder.
I turned around noticed that Lola was still goggling Drake. "Oh! Lola… um…" I had no idea what to tell her, I promised to take her with me, but…
"Hey, Lola? Do you think you could give me and Hannah some time to get to know each other…?" Lola nodded her head, not moving an inch. "'Together'" still nodding her head. "Um… just the two of us…?"
Lola seemed to understand now, "Ohhhhhhhhh! You two want to be left alone…" Lola said sounding like she was holding a secret about who someone liked and disappointed at the same time.
I suddenly felt guilty because I had promised her that she could come along, but I really just want to get to know Drake and I'm sure we will be hanging out again, so I could just bring her then…
I walked over to where she was and whispered as I hugged her, "I'm sorry, I PROMISE to bring you next time we hang out, okay?"
"Its fine Hannah." She whispered back.
I let go of our embrace and Lola took one more glance at Drake, then turned the opposite way and started to leave.
"I'm sorry; she saw you on TRL the other night and has fallen in love with you…" I mumbled to Drake once I said back down next to him.
Drake chuckled, "Well, I'm glad I know I have a fan."
I looked up shocked, "A fan? You have tons of fans! I hear your name all the time when I'm at the beach!"
Drake chuckled again, "Its not that I don't think I have any fans it's that I don't have any fans compared to someone as good as you." He's so sweet at times… Miley! You have to snap out of it! You have Jake! We have gone over this like a million times the last day and a half with Cody! Jake is your boyfriend, you can not be falling for two complete strangers that you met! Wait, it's not like I've actually fallen for them… I just have a tiny, itsy bitsy crush… right?
"Thanks…" I blushed, "So… um…"
"Hey Hannah." I knew that voice, it was Jake's he has been spying on us, I know it…
I turned around and grimaced, "Hey Jake."
"Hey, you're Drake Connors, that new singer right?" Jake asked trying to sound friendly, but he was talking in the voice he used when talking to Cody; harsh, jealousy formed in it, annoyed, and so on and so forth…
"Yeah, and you're Jake Ryan. Nice to meet you." Drake said holding out his hand for Jake to shake it, like he had done with me earlier.
"Same." Was all Jake said.
"So Jake… what are you doing here?" I asked casually as though I had no idea that he was even on the beach.
"Oh, well I was hanging out with my girlfriend, Miley and some friends, but they had to leave, so just decided to," Spy on me? "Take a walk." Jake smiled.
"Oh cool. So the rumors of you two dating aren't true?" Drake asked looking very interested.
"No. No. And. No! We are just really good friends." I said very straightforward. "Jake has been dating a girl named Miley Stewart for… what Jake? A year now?" I tried to sound like I didn't know anything, even though I knew we, me and Jake, also known as Miley and Jake, have been dating twelve months and twenty-four days, today.
"Um not quite a year but in… six days it will be a year." Jake seemed so proud of our relationship.
"That's cool… So, Hannah are you dating anyone." Drake asked innocently.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jake tense up. "Um… not at the moment, I don'' really have a lot of time to date, I mean like I'm always working, and I just don't think it would be fair to the guy I was going out with, because I could never really spent all that much time with him… So, no; I'm not dating." Drake still looked interested.
"I see…"
I looked over and saw Jake staring daggers into Drakes back. I gave him the look then asked Drake if he was seeing anyone.
"No, I was when I was back in New York, but we broke up because of the distance, but we were probably going to break up anyway." Drake said running a hand through his hair.
"Oh I'm sorry." I said sympathy ringing through my voice. I put my hand over his which I quickly took off because of the glare Jake gave it.
"Its cool, like I said, we were going to break up anyway." Drake smiled, I felt my face warm up a bit.
"So um… new topic!" I said brightly.
"Um, okay?" Drake looked a little confused.
"Um… how about… your music!" I smiled enthusiastically.
"What about my music?"
"I don't know. What type of music do you write?" I said trying to ignore the glares I was getting from Jake.
"Um… I guess I just use my emotions, most of my songs actually tell my past, like what I felt during the time I wrote it, but sometimes like if someone I know is going through something and they tell me about it, I sometime try and write from what they are telling me." Drake said looking out into the ocean.
"Really? Same here."
"Really? Because all your songs say stuff like you're just a normal girl and that you have like two lives. Sort of like… um… oh! And alter ego, or something!" my eyes widened in panic. Jake looked scared too.
"What!?!? NO! NO! I don't! they mean um… that I WISH I had another life, like um… an alter ego like you said, so people would get to know the real me and not just the famous part of me…" well I told half of the truth…
Drake looked at me for a long second, which felt like a lifetime to me who was terrified that my secret was blown because someone finally started to figure out and go deeper into the meanings in what my songs meant. Finally Drake smiled, "Cool, I guess. I wish I thought of an alter ego before I came to Hollywood…" His voice changed a little like as if he was hiding something.
"Yeah… same here." I tried to smiled but the panic was in my blood stream, so I could barely move.
"Yeah that would be cool! So Drake what kind of sports are you into?" Jake asked from behind. Thank you for changing the subject, I have to remember to give him a kiss for that…
"I like to skateboard and surf a lot, I guess."
"I thought you said you moved from New York? There isn't and ocean there you can surf on!" Jake said trying to sound smart.
"I did. My family owned a house on the east coast in Maine, and it was right on the ocean, so I learn to surf when I would go out there." Drake looked around absentmindedly.
"Cool…" Jake was actually saying, 'Not cool.'
"You know, Drake; Jake likes to surf too, maybe you two should go one day." I suggested, while Jake was waving his hands at me to stop.
"Yeah sure, that would be great." Drake smiled at me. Jake slapped his hand to his forehead, like they do in cartoons when they are mad. "You okay dude?" Drake asked gesturing to the red spot appearing on Jake's head.
"What? Oh yeah… um, there was a bug and I just wanted to kill it…" Jake rolled his eyes.
"Right… So Hannah, I was wondering what you thought of doing a duet with me?" Drake asked sliding mere centimeters away from me.
"Oh um…" I tried to focus, but with him sitting this close to me, I felt like I was going to start hyperventilating. I move enough away from him that I could think straightly. "Yeah, sure. I think it will really help your career get started." I smiled.
"Really?!?! Thanks Hannah!" Drake engulfed me in a heartwarming hug. I felt my self melt in his arms. His skin on mine was so hot that I pulled away quickly.
"Y-you're wel-welcome…" I stuttered. I saw the murderous look Jake was giving Drake. "Yeah um… you know Drake; I just remembered that, I meeting to go to… so how about we talk later tonight, like I'll call you at eight, okay?" I figured Jake wanted to talk, well yell at me.
"Yeah okay. Hey Hannah, thanks again, I really appreciate it." Drake hugged me again. "Oh, and it was nice meeting you Jake." He held out his hand for Jake to shake, which Jake shook with great trepidation.
"Yeah… same to you…" Jake glared.
"Okay well bye Drake!" I grabbed Jake hand and pulled him away from Drake who yelled goodbye from the tree we had been sitting on.
I pulled Jake threw the woods which was a shortcut to my house from where we were on the beach. When we got to my I brought Jake upstairs after checking to make sure no one was home so they didn't hear me and Jake fighting, the good news was that Jackson had a double shift at Rico's today and my dad had a Hannah thing to take care of until six.
When we got into my room I started to brace myself for Jake's yelling, but I didn't come. Jake walked over to my bed and sat down, covering his face with his hands, like he always does when he is mad.
Confused, I walked over and sat next to him, "Jake?" I whispered quietly.
"I'm sorry Miley… I'm just so…" Jake started to shake a little.
"Shhh…" I cooed, as I wrapped my arms around him.
"Miley…" Jake whispered so quietly I could barely hear him.
"Yes Jake?" I whispered a little louder than him.
Jake looked at me with tears in his eyes that could drop at any second. He seemed so upset, but I had no idea what I could do to help him…
Jake reached up to where my wig and hairline meet, and pulled it off and let my brown curls drop from inside the wig; he then tossed my Hannah wig aside and cupped my face with his hand. The feeling of Drake hugging me felt nothing like this… this felt safe, and loving, and perfect…
Jake leaned in slowly and kissed me. The other hand that Jake wasn't using to stroke my cheek, moved to stomach, and started to draw circles on it. I set on hand on his cheek and the other on his shoulder.
I felt Jake starting to push me downward and I decide just to let him take the lead. Jake's kisses became more passion by every second. I felt his hand that was on my stomach move to the bottom of my sweatshirt and push it up a little. I suddenly felt a shiver run up my spine; he had never done anything like this before.
Jake's hands continued to push my sweatshirt up further and further. Jake's mouth then left my mine and started to kiss my throat and neck. I felt my body get a little tense as the hand that was on my cheek went down to my stomach. I admit I was nervous, but I knew that he knew that, I wasn't ready… or at least I hope he knows… oh god…
I bit my lip hard trying to suppress a moan when Jake started to kiss my collarbone, but it didn't work. I realized that I wasn't fighting Jake in anyway because I was actually enjoying myself. Jake was being so gentle and caring; I bet it would be hard for any girl not to enjoy this…
I then suddenly realized that my hands were in Jake's hair, making it even more a mess then it was already. "Jake…" I heard myself whisper, but don't remember moving my lips to say it.
Jake moved back up to my lips and kissed me passionately, "Miles… um…" Jake said quietly into my ear.
"Mmhmm?" I answered totally dazed. My hands dropping from his hair to his shoulders, while one of his hands moved to my face and brushed some hair out of my face.
Jake just kissed up and down my jawbone. I felt myself moan again. Jake's hand started to move upward so it was centimeters away from my chest when…
"MILES? YOU HOME?" I jumped hearing my dad's voice which caused me smack into Jake and him to fall off the bed. "MILES? IS THAT YOU? DID YOU JUST FALL OR SOMETHING?" I could hear my dad coming up my stairs.
"Shit!" I muttered, trying to flatten my hair and push my shirt back down. Jake quickly ran into my closet and shut the door, because I'm not supposed to have my boyfriends in my bedroom alone with me.
I walked up to my door and opened it after taking a deep breath. "Hey dad." I said casually when I said him in front of my door. "And yeah I did fall… I was um… lying on my bed and you scared me…" I lied, rubbing my arm as if I hurt it when I supposedly 'fell off my bed…'
My dad looked at me for a long second, as if he didn't believe me, but then smiled. "Is your arm okay?"
"It's fine, just a little numb." Damn, maybe I should go into acting instead of singing!
"If you need anything like ice, or whatever, just give me a shout. Oh hey darlin' what happened with that Drake Connor's kid? Are you going to do a duet with him?" Wait, I didn't tell him I was even meeting Drake, how did he know about the duet?
"How did…?"
"Oh, Drake manager called me last night and told me you guys were hanging out today and thinking about doing a duet to help Drake get accepted into Hollywood easier. It would be really nice if you decided to help the boy out Miles."
"Yeah, we hung out today and decided to do it. I told him I would call him tonight, maybe we should all get together, like you me, Drake and his manager to talk about everything?" I suggested.
"Good idea, Miles. I'll call Jim tonight. Okay well, I have some groceries to put away. So I'll see you later, Miles." My dad kissed forehead and left.
I walked over to my closet and pushed my clothes out of the way that were in front of my Hannah closet and opened the doors leading to it.
When I walked through the doors, Jake was laying on the couch in the middle of the room, with his eyes closed. I shut the door and walked over next to him, and sat down. "Jake…?"
Jake's eyes fluttered open. "Yeah Miles?" I pushed his bangs out of his eyes and took his hand, and placed it on in my lap.
I sighed, leaning down, and kissing him. "Are you okay?" I asked once he broke the kiss.
Jake tried to smiled, but it turned into a frown "I'm fine, Miley. Seriously." Jake reached up and played with hair that had fallen out of my ponytail.
"Jake, I'm…" Jake hushed me by placing two fingers on my lips.
"Miles, I really am fine, just… tired, so please just drop it?" Jake's eyes showed that he really didn't want to talk about it just now.
"Okay… Jake? Are you going home tonight?" I sort of hope he was, that way he could talk with his parents, but in another, I wanted him to stay again…
"I don't know, Miles. I might just go for a walk on the beach and yeah…" Jake sighed heavily.
"Jake if you aren't going home you are staying here! There is no way I'm letting you stay out all night on the beach!" I said sternly.
Jake rolled his eyes. "Miles, its not like it's the first night I've spent at the beach."
"Jake! What are you thinking?!?! You could get hurt! The ghetto gangsters could kidnap you and like kill you!!!" I started to panic, what if something like that really did happen to him? No Miley! That won't happen!!! I hope…
"Miley! I'm fine! Do you see anything wrong with me? No you don't, because I'm fine!" Jake's voice was full of anger.
I looked down at my hands, scared. "Oh Miley, I'm sorry… I've been losing my temper so much lately…" I could feel tears threatening to drop. Jake put two fingers under my chin, but this time I didn't look him in the eye, too scared to see if Jake had suddenly changed into a monster or something…
"Miles…? Please look at me. I'm sorry… I'm just so… ugh, I don't know…" I took a quick glance at Jake to see if he had really changed into a monster, instead I saw something I wasn't expecting. Jake was crying again… "Miley, please…?" I looked at him straight in the eye, expecting tears to drop at any second.
"W-what Ja-Jake?" I choked on my words as they came out.
"Oh, Miles… I'm sorry, I'm being the biggest jerk this last couple of day. You out of all people don't deserve to have me yell at you… I'm so sorry…" Jake now had tears streaming down his face.
I parted my lips slightly to say something and felt a warm salty liquid in my mouth, which I realized were my tears that I didn't know were flowing freely down my cheeks. "Jake I… um…" I had no idea what to say, so the only thing I could think of doing that would show Jake that I forgave him… again, was to kiss him. I put both my hands on his face and kissed him as hard as I could.
We pulled back at the same time, about a minute or so later. "Miles, um…" Jake started, but I cut him off with another kiss.
I pulled back and made him look me straight in the eye, "Jake, I know you are upset about your parents, I know you are upset with me, and I'm sorry. Its okay to get angry, its better to get out your emotions then let them stay bottled up, because that will just keep adding up until you finally crack…" Jake reached up and gently pushed away my tears. I smiled and did the same to him.
"Thanks Miles…" Jake said pulling me on his lap.
I rested my head on his shoulder and kissed his neck, while he wrapped his arms around my waist tightly, as if he was afraid I was going to leave him forever…
Jake repositioned us so he was lying on his back and I was partly laying on his chest with my back up against the couch.
"You comfortable?" Jake asked sweetly.
"Yeah, you?" I closed my eyes, starting to realize how tired I actually was.
"Mmhmm." Jake muttered.
I suddenly felt myself drifting off to sleep again…
