An- Hey people! First and foremost, I would like to thank all of you that had reviewed last chapter, it didn't necessarily hit the 50 review mark but I decided in order to keep this fic in line to start a new program. Every time we hit a new border on our reviews, I will update twice in one week. Considering you guys were only minimal short and this story is preferably my favourite, I decided to update again today. Let the chapter begin!
Previously:
"No." She drawled out, eyes glinting with mischief. " But there could be…"
Without a word, Miley straddled him, pressing their lips together as their lips moved together, him opening his mouth to grant access which she moaned at, their tongues untied as one, forming burning heat between the two of them while they continued their intensifying kiss. Thoughts slowly disintegrating from their mind.
Miley breathed a sigh into his mouth, threading his hand into her hair. She concluded that this sentiments were one that kept developing within time, increasing within each second. Judging by the way her heart soared, she concluded that she wouldn't be surprised if she fell deep for the guy.
Unbeknownst to her, she already had.
She only hoped that this thing didn't spiral out of control and break hearts in the process; she already knew one was enough.
Chapter 7: A day with Frankie.
Bright streaks of light collided with her radiant face as she stirred, stifling a groan of exasperation as she swiftly turned into her side; intending on blanking out the momentary disturbance that prevented her from continuing the safe journey of her delighted slumber.
Her and Shane had spent the whole night just yesterday, constructing games, chanting karaoke's, maximum movies and impersonating infamous comical people. There had been a few kisses involved as they simply cuddled together, intending fleetingly for that moment not to be separated.
Miley's lips quirked into a smile, her smile lighting up her slumbering face as her thoughts consumed her.
Miley was a woman based on perfection. She had quirks and a personality that drew men to her like a moth to a flame yet she never had any real relationships that entitled her to actually harbor feelings for a person.
There were only two people that fell into that type of category; Shane…. And Jake.
In conclusion, when inquired about the two of them in comparison, Miley would instantly state that the sentiments she felt for Shane were ones that were much deeper than the ones she had previously had for Jake.
When dating Jake, they had only been bided as one in a relationship due to the publicity. The world had strong opinionated thoughts about how they thought they were an insanely cute couple which in time had made them start the national 'Jiley' human individuals were fond of.
While Miley did like Jake at the time, his real expression, real self had reflected upon her and basically the world had found out how destructing and rebellious Jake Ryan actually was, that and his egotistical self really put the icing on the cake.
Whereas Shane, she could go on. She had absolutely knew idea how she was so magnetic to the guy yet she found out that the reason she felt this way with Shane was because she felt totally and completely safe and secure with him yet insecure and ponderous at the same time.
She adored the fact that he could simply pull her in close, wrap his arms around her and she'd feel like the world that deemed was revolving around her, was complete and spinning in a regular circular motion yet she still was insecure with the pondering thought of letting herself fall deeper. Then again, that's what love was all about and she concluded, if anyone, she desired Shane to be that one.
Getting back on track, Shane had resorted back to his room late at night while she was still hyperly active, not at the slightest desiring to heave back to bed.
As she groaned massively from the pounding sun lighting on her creamy skin, she figured she was suffering the consequences as she thought along.
She huffed before letting her eyes flutter open, lips parting to release a sigh before marching out of the room, sleepy attire clinging to her skin as she moved into the kitchen due to the rumbling of her stomach.
She was slightly baffled as she met the frantic eyes of Denise, her exasperated body shuffling frantically as she seeked wildly for something.
"Hi Denise."
Denise smiled warmly at her, momentarily halting her previous actions to regard the young woman in front of her.
"Morning Miley." She chuckled once seeing her exhausted figure. " Rough night?"
"Very." Retorted Miley before face creasing in confusion as she watched the raven-haired woman in front of her. " Looking for something?"
"Yes." Breathed Denise, aggravated with herself. " Have you seen my keys?"
"Drawer to your right."
Denise followed her directions, smiling blissfuly at the girl in front of her as she turned out dead-on, her thoughts consuming her before she spoke again.
"Oh!" She yelped out, marching towards the girl as she took a hold of her hands, nervous smile pasted against her face. " Would you and Shane mind watching Frankie today? Nate's gone to some concert with a couple of friends and as you know, your father went to the press conference in Italy today. There's no one else to care for him and I really don't trust anyone e-"
"Its as good as done." Laughed Miley, interrupting the incessant ramble that fell out of Denise's mouth. " I love Frankie and so does Shane, we'll have a blast."
"I always knew you were a special one." Murmured Denise with a smile, kissing the girl on the cheek as she muttered her goodbye's before bouncing out the door.
Miley shook her head, smiling bashfully before resorting to gripping the fridge handle as she skimmed for her food options, not hearing the man that had been appearing in her very thoughts approach her, sliding his arms around her waist as he pressed a kiss on her brunette locks.
He cackled with laughter as she jumped about a mile foot in the air before relaxing into his arms, slowly spinning around to face him, eye raised highly in the air as she regarded him with a mock-infuriated expression.
"So not funny, Shane."
He chuckled, gasping for air as he gripped on to his sides. " Oh, I beg to differ." His lips quirked into one side, naturally. " Karma m'dear, aint it grand?"
She chuckled sarcastically before sending him the evil eye, watching as he rumbled of laughter.. She joined in a minute or two afterwards.
"Place seems deserted these days." He remarked as his eyes quickly scan the room. " Where's my mom?"
"At the store." She retorted, watching as his lips curled into a coy smile, lips nearing her ear.
"Another day alone with you?" He smirked. " I'm starting to think you're fleeing everyone away with money just to get me alone with you.. Little desperate don't you think?"
She scoffed, regarding him with a sassy expression on her face as she pursed her lips, rolling her eyes in the process which caused him to raise his hands in defensive honor.
"Hey! I didn't say I didn't like it." He whispered seductively, biting her earlobe momentarily before kissing her in customary greeting. She giggled, pushing him away as she hauled herself to a chair, waiting as he slid into one beside her.
"Sadly bub, that's not happenin' any time soon." She spat back teasingly. " We're taking care of Frankster today."
"Even better." He chagrined. " Gives me more time to prep 'Frank the tank' to be a carbon copy of his brother."
"God, I hope not." Sighed Miley jokingly. "Might end up as messed up as you."
Shane scoffs, mock-irritated. "Ouch! Wounded, Miles. That hits right here."
Miley giggles sweetly, rolling her eyes Stewart-wise as Shane pouts, patting his heart as he feigns an injured soul. She breathes a sigh, amusement and humor shining in her eyes as she closes the distance between them, softly pressing her lips against his. Their lips unite, him caressing her face with both hands in order to deepen the kiss.
He groans ferociously as she smirks against his lips before pulling away.
"Tease." He murmurs, displeasured causing Miley to giggle as she amples a smirk of her own.
"If you wanted to kiss me, all you had to do was ask."
Shane parts his mouth, a sly response retort just waiting to be spilled out of his lips, Miley clicks her tongue, kissing his lips quickly before sashaying out of the room.
Shane eyes her hips, the circular motion taunting him in more ways than he can possibly bear. He shakes his head, willingly attempting to force himself to halt his perverted thoughts before grumbling to himself in pure exasperation.
She's good. he concluded eyes setting out on watching after her once again. Real good.

Frankie Grey blinks, comprehension flashing in his bright mocha eyes as he channels a sentiment including calmness and being ultimately collected. His tongue just out of his lip, beads of sweat colliding with his face as his eyes wander round and round again , attempting to find out the mystery behind the game he held.
He had awoken merely four hours ago, blinking boredly around the flashing sun, seeking something interesting and amusing to do at that certain time. At first he had tried playing with his Webkinz only to find out he had displaced them somewhere around the house, then he had resorted to settling on tv only to conclude that there were no funny cartoon characters in sight.
The next two hours were spent with him searching for something to do, his mind straying from everything to nothing as his little mind worked up a sweat in order to fulfill his outer-child's needs.
In result, he had ended up roaming around the room, entering his closet as he rummaged around only to find this antique video game. He had thought the texture was cool and the picture that held some type of foreign words slashed in a bubble beside the words.
He suddenly began to detest his action for he had found out that this current enjoyment was one that he couldn't seem to comprehend, one that was ultimately hard and was a thriving challenge.
He groaned as the little fishie ended up falling through the hole once again.
"Stupid fish." He murmured ,huffing. " I told you to stop doing that."
Shane approaches his little brother, chuckling quietly to himself as he catches sight of his determined brother, pouting with unsatisfaction, loud chime of ' you lose, try again' vibrating through the room before the seven year old moaned once again and prepared himself to strive to success once again.
"What you got there, Frank?"
"Shh, Shane. Your killing my buzz here, I'm trying to win a game."
" How 'bout you let your cooler older brother have a try?" He smirked, flipping up his imaginary collar which caused Frankie to smirk.
"Nate left, remember?" He teased, watching as his brother scoffed before pulling the item out of his hands.
"I'll keep that embezzled into my brain the next time we go shopping for Webkinz."
"On second thought…"
"Yeah, that's right. Worship the master." Chagrined Shane, quirking his lips before creasing his head in confusion. " How the he- heck do you work this thing?"
"Don't know." Admitted Frankie, irritated. " It's really really hard though."
"We'll see about that." Challenged Shane boastingly. " Bring on the challenge, dude!"
Several minutes past, both brothers holding their breath within each movement, shouting out battle cries and groaning each single time Shane managed to get the fishy in. It was an intense battle, one that the brothers were sure Shane was desperately losing.. That is till Shane decided to uphold his end of the bargain, miraculously being able to defeat the great warrior.
Frankie regards his brother, his eyes innocently wide as his mouth hangs open with incredulity.
"Ha! PONED!" Shane shouts, rejoicing himself as he slams a hand into the air, relishing in victory.
"How did you?…..-" He trailed off, Shane sending him his signature smirk, ruffling the kids golden brunette locks before answering.
"Never underestimate Shane Grey, Frank the Tank. " He quotes in a foreign accent, causing Frankie to combust into contagious giggles, Shane after seconds later joining in on the commotion.
Several minutes pass by before Frankie heaves a sigh out of his mouth. " I'm bored."
"Well then, that's where I come in." Shane smugly retorts. " Ready for some fun, tonight?"
"When am I not?" Inquired the seven year old, raising his eyebrows high causing Shane to chuckle.
"Good answer, little brother. I might just make a man out of you yet." Shane shot back, admiration for his little brother laced in his tone as he continued to speak. " Your gonna spend the rest of the day entertained by your cool older brother and Miss Miley Stewart."
"Awesome!" Shrieks Frankie in delight, excitement swarming his chocolate pupils. " Can I wear my green converses?"
"Whatever you want, Frank. Today's all about you, sound cool?"
Frankie watches as his brother asks the question, fist outwards, solely waiting for him to bump his fist against his. Frankie grins, eyes swarming with excitement and eagerness as he thrusts his fist outwards, bumping it unto his brothers awaiting one, smiling mirthfully up at him, his brother mirroring his expression.
"Sound cool." He repeats, innerly thanking God for deciding to hand him the awesome brother he has.
---
Miley clenched her hands, curling them into stony tight fists as passionate fury and despair rumbled through her; blue eyes flashing unmovingly as she continued to stalk around the house, hands jutting out to retrieve the contents of items she needed for the much-needed trip she would be taking with Frankie and Shane.
She breathed quick numbers, informing herself to willingly accept the situation, opting to not let this absurd situation ruin the rest of her day.
She had called her father, having had missed the sound of his voice since he had left for Italy last week without so much as telling her face to face; he had much rather preferred to notify her about his sudden disappearance by instructing Annabelle to do his dirty work for him.
Getting back to the point of the story, she had been left agonized, pile of emotions stringing along through her body as she dealt with the pain that his actions caused her. She knew his job was rather important, seeing as he has other human individuals in the world to devote his time to, taking care of their every needs yet she couldn't help herself with the disapproving thoughts that consumed her.
To her, it seemed like her father was slowly slipping away from her, their tight-knit connectivity breaking along the way. Due to the fact that she had a lot going on right now, incredulous amount of drama laced with her supposed 'easy-going life' , the whole daddy going incognito fiasco was the icing on the cake that was supposedly dropped into her lap.
She couldn't help but feel that she was slowly drowning from the invisible water that was bestowed upon her; she couldn't help but feel her somewhat perfect life was breaking in front of her eyes.
Her thoughts jumbled, disintegrating as her attention drifted to the man that normally occupied her thoughts marching down the stairs, carrying his adorable little brother down the stairs in his broad arms. He watched as he instantly put his brother down as soon as their eyes met, his eyes sparkling with worry as he approached her.
She forced a smile, quickly picking up the kid that excitedly sauntered into her arms, reeling him in close to her. She watched Shane mouth if she was okay, completely taken aback by her sudden loss of happiness and she took that pregnant pause to halt, once again baffled by his thoughtfulness and kindness when it came to her; it seemed to her, he was quickly finding out how to look past her exterior demeanor and look in deep to see the inner side of her bursting out. She was stunned at how quickly he had managed to know all these quirks and imperfections in such short little time.
She nodded, flashing him a slight smile. She could tell he wasn't convinced yet knew not to push the subject any harder. She smiled in relief as he simply kissed the side of her temple, consoling her with his eyes as soon as the attention span the seven year old had fixed on her had been drifted.
"So, Frankster…" She started, desperate to make conversation. " Where to, little guy?"
"Can we go to the park?" He questioned, hope springing into his eyes. " I haven't been there in a while."
"I guess." She quipped, ruffling his brunette locks. " We might have to go like spies though, the paparazzi down there is a zoo just waitin' to happen."
"Sweet!" He aired out, pulling his fist out in anticipation as his little body shrieked with joy causing Shane and Miley to chuckle at his childish antics.
They chuckled once more as he demanded for the hands of his entertainers, smiling up at them joyfully once they did so. Shane and Miley shared an adorable glance before the three walked out of the house, telling Annabelle about their whereabouts if needed before reaching the outdoors, hands all tucked in each others.
---
"Look how big he is!" Yelped Frankie with fascination, eyes innocently wild. " He could snap my arm like a twig."
"Anyone can do that, Frank." Murmured Shane with a slight laugh as he proceeded to taunt his little brother. " Its 'cause your so scrawny."
"Am not!" Shouted Frankie defensively, walking towards Miley with an angelic pout on his adorable features. "Shmiley, tell Shane to stop picking on me."
"Shane." She warned mockingly. " Stop picking on Frankster, he's just a little kid."
"I'm just a little kid." Retorted Frankie smugly, regarding Miley with a love struck expression on his face which caused Shane to scoff disbelievingly.
"You team up with the devil!" He shrieks mock-offended. " Don't let him fool you, Mile. Behind that angelic personality is the shadows of a demonic monster."
"Takes one to know one." Shot back Frankie cockily, causing Miley to giggle sweetly, viewing as Shane simply shook his head, pulling his little brother over his shoulder which spiraled sweet adorable laughter to pour out of the seven year old child.
Miley giggled before they continued their amusing journey. They had arrived at the zoo shortly after having enjoyed their time at the park. Frankie had requested it, instantly getting a nod of approval from both her and Shane before they set out to be fascinated by animals from all types,genders and sizes.
They had resorted to the elephants, which Frankie had approached with wild eyes, instantly fascinated by the large animal. Instantly questioning if he could throw the animal a peanut like people did in the movies, whining incessantly when they had firmly told him no. In result, he had sulked greatly till his opinionated side decided to wrench out full force, remarking his opinion about the animal.
All in all, Miley had started to participate, her lumpish mood being thrown out the window as she focused on the positivistic side of the day, pulling herself out of the funk she had started out with earlier.
"Earth to Miley." Said Shane softly, watching as the sixteen year old pulled herself out of her stupor to regard him. " Anything going on in there? You've been pretty quiet."
"Yeah…. I tend to get like that a lot, huh?"
"Somewhere along the way, yeah." Agreed Shane, Miley chuckled quietly before creasing her face with confusion as she noticed the third wheel missing.
"Where's Frankie?"
"Just in our line of vision. He's watching the tigers upfront." He declared, eyes momentarily fixated on his little brother before straying back to her, worry flashing into his eyes. "What's going on in that head of yours, Mile? You seemed pretty upset earlier."
"Nothing." She breathed, brushing the comment off. "I was just venting."
"Venting what?" He pushed, slightly smirking. " An ear is made to listen, Miles. You should let me try that sometime."
She giggled quietly, sighing intensely before answering. "I'm just frustrated with my dad lately. I mean I love the guy, 'can't argue with that but… I just, his actions just-"
Shane interrupted, pulling the aggravated sixteen year old in his arms. At this time and place, he didn't really care who saw their act of affection, his girl was hurting and he didn't particularly like the idea. That and the zoo had been reserved solely for them, one of the perks of having a famous inspirational teenager alongside you, it was only a far stretch that she was America's angel.
" I'm pretty sure he doesn't intend on making you feel this way, he's just so occupied with being the big P he just forgets that he's left another priority down in the dumps a little bit. Talk to him, he'll come around." He advised, arms securely wrapped around her frame, Miley casting her eyes upwards to look at him with an overwhelmed expression.
"Pretty deep words of wisdom, Shaney. Who knew you were such a softie?" She teased, blue eyes instantly glittering with laughter and brightness which caused Shane to grin, motive of getting her to smile complete.
"Well when my girl isn't happy, I'm not happy and that doesn't really sit well with me." He blurted out, not really noticing his poor choice of words till they had flown out of his mouth, he innerly cursed himself, instantly wishing that Miley had somehow momentarily gone deaf and hadn't heard the term.
It seemed fate decided to prove otherwise.
"Your girl?" Inquired Miley, eyebrow highly raised in the air, previous struggle of emotions thrown aside as she regards him with a questionable expression. He gapes at her, opening and closing his mouth a few times before stuttering an answer.
"I- uh- well… yeah. I mean-"
Miley giggles, putting him at ease with the situation. Giving him a sultry kiss on the lips. " Relax Shaney, I like it.. Being your girl, I mean."
"That goes both ways." He taunts, lips quirked causing Miley to combust into laughter once again, rolling her eyes as he nods in approval, sending her his infamous wink.
The mirthful bubble that surrounds them does not waver as Frankie hurls back to them, causing them to spread apart not wanting to give away their current status, watching as the seven year old eyes them weirdly before shrugging it off.
"C'mon!" He declares, hands pulling on the hands of Shane and Miley in excitement. "Your missing out, I think I saw some alligators!"
Miley's eyes widen immensely, mouth just about ready to protest causing Shane to interrupt already guessing the answer.
"No worries, Miley. I'll protect you from the big bad reptile." He teases jokingly, watching as his little brother giggles in response. Miley rolls her eyes, knowing indefinitely that when push comes to shove, if the reptile were to so much as bite her, he'd do anything in his power to make sure she was nestled into his arms.
She sticks her tongue out at him playfully before giggling as Frankie pulls them away to his desired destination.
---
Sweet adorable giggles of laughter clouds the room, the room vibrating with the pure sound of perfection. Harsh dip in the bed being formed as Frankie slumps into the bed, popping his head upwards to regard her with a bashful grin on his face as he sighs with utter content, nestling into his covers.
"Alright bud, bed time's up. Say Sayonara. " Says Miley, forming a dip on the bed as he pushes further away from the bed, indicating in silence that he desires she climb into bed with him.
They had crawled back to the white house after maximum rollercoaster of fun, straying from the Zoo to an educational museum, McDonald's at some point due to craved hunger, Store shopping for replacement of Webkinz before retreating back to the white house to enjoy themselves in a few activities hosted by once again, Shane and Miley.
Denise had called no more than five minutes ago, informing the babysitting duo to make sure Frankie went to bed on time considering she was deemed to be a little late that night. Due to the fact that he was quite an arguer when it came to spiraling into the land of the slumbering, they had decided to put his pajama's on him, thus entitling him to his bedroom.
Shane had gone the slight distance to the kitchen to provide some takeout food for his mother which caused Miley to do the rest on her own.
" I don't wanna…" He whined with a pout causing Miley to sigh.
"Frankie."
"Okay Shmiley." He said, snuggling into his covers. "I'll go to bed but only because I had real fun today."
" You did, huh?" Urged Miley, already knowing what the answer to that question was. She had never seen a child laugh and giggle, eyes lighting with happiness as much as Frankie had that previous day, to him it had been a field day and she was once again relieved she had been able to play a part in that.
"Mhmm." He murmured, eyes fluttering shut. " The best."
"Glad you think so, kid." She muttered, lips placing themselves on his forehead. " Sleep tight, bud."
She had her hand curled around the doorknob, just about ready to exit the room when his little voice rang through the room.
"I'm glad your dating my brother." He told her, Miley tensing instantly, stomach rumbling as she whipped around to face him with a nervous expression on her face, catching sight of him peeking at her through his lashes.
"What?" She chuckled nervously. " Th-that's crazy talk, boy. Me and Shane…. So not the drama."
"You know…" He smirked, regarding her with a cocky expression. " Mama says its not good to lie." At her baffled expression, he elaborated. " I saw you guys kiss today."
Miley froze, her heart pounding a mile a minute. She couldn't believe she had been so careless, she should have known that Frankie could've had his eyes wander towards them at any given time that minute; she suddenly cursed her behaviour, instantly labelling herself as scum.
"Frankie-" She warned, sighing intensely. " Please don't…"
"Your secret's safe with me." He blurted out, winking at her discreetly. " I promise."
With that, Miley watched as he turned In his covers, snuggling into a comfortable position before resuming his attempt to retreat back to slumber. Miley smiled, shutting the lights before walking out the door. She knew he was a kid based on honesty and knew she had nothing to worry about. It didn't help that she was slightly relieved that someone had found out.. It just made their status feel all the more real.
She was brought out of her deep thoughts as arms encircled around her waist, pressing their familiar lips on the base of her neck. She relaxed into the muscular arms, swiftly turning around to meet the curious eyes of Shane.
"Everything alright?" He mused, curiously. Miley simply smiled, snuggling into his arms comfortingly.
"Just Perfect." She answered and she concluded that she was right.
