9kiss: Caught In The Act


Oliver situated himself against his bed's headboard. He grasped a stuffed penguin with both his hands and held it in front of his face. He stared directly into it's beady eyes with a determined facade. He puckered his lips and closed his eyes, inching and inching closer to its furry beak.

It can't be that hard to kiss someone…or something, right? But I gotta start somewhere. So here I am, about to kiss my little penguin. It's not like I can practice on my little brother or mom. Can you say awkward? But my stuffed toy that can't talk, not so much.

That is until he heard giggling.

Oliver, embarrassed by his current position, froze. His eyes remained tightly shut as a crimson blush overtook his face. He retracted his lips and bit his bottom one. Refusing to meet the eyes of the person who interrupted.

"Oliver…" She said slowly. "What are you doing?"

Oliver softly groaned and dropped the penguin from his grip, landing on his lap. He sighed as the redness in his face eventually faded. He turned his head slowly with one eye opening.

"Lilly." He said uneasily, "What are you doing here?"

"Apparently, I watching you kiss a penguin." She crossed her arms over her chest and nodded towards the penguin.

"Oh, this?" He picked it up with two fingers as if it was contaminated with a deadly disease.

Lilly nodded with an evident smirk.

"It's nothing. I…um…ah…" Oliver stumbled over his words.

"There's no use hiding it, Oliver. I know what you were doing. So tell me why or I'm gonna tell Miley too. Then Jackson'll know, and you know what happens when he knows." She cocked her head to the side and tapped her foot.

"I'm practicing." Oliver said through gritted teeth.

"For?" She titled her head downwards awaiting his answer.

"Because I wanna tell someone I like them and maybe they'd wanna kiss afterwards." He said shamefully. He never admitted his crush to Lilly or Miley, so this was very mortifying.

"Who do you wanna kiss?" She asked slowly, hiding her feeling of discomfort.

I can't tell her I like her, especially when I'm not ready. I have to lie. C'mon, come up with someone good! Someone believable!

"Miley!" He said hurriedly.

Lilly stomach plummeted as her head hung low.

"Oh…" She dragged her feet towards his bed and plopped down next to him. She snatched the penguin from his lap, inspecting it for a while before asking, "Was it good?"

Oliver glared at her and grabbed it from her grip.

"Well, I never actually got to that because someone interrupted! So can you please leave now? I'm humiliated enough." Oliver looked down at the penguin he held in his lap, as the memories of earlier came back.

"I'm sorry, Oliver." Lilly giggled trying to brighten her mood.

"But Miley's coming over soon. I came over here to ask you to come to the beach with us, but you looked kinda busy." Her eyes turned away, but she pointed down at the penguin.

"But now that you're not, you wanna come? Maybe, you can tell her you like her…" suggested, turning her eyes away from his.

"No! No way! I can't tell her when I don't even like…!" He trailed off trying to think of a way to finish, "know how to kiss!" Oliver yelled as he stood up abruptly, forcing the stuffed toy off his lap.

Lilly shot up her head and turned towards him. She stared deeply into his chocolate brown orbs, her face softening into a pensive guise.

He belongs with Miley. Oliver, he such a great person. He deserves whatever he wants. So, if he wants Miley. Then I can't stand in the way of that. No matter how much I like him.

"Look, tell Miley you like her or I will." She threatened not looking into his eyes.

Oliver face fell as his eyebrows furrowed with great bewilderment.

"Hey ya'll! Should we get going?" Miley asked walking into Oliver's room.

"Miley!" Lilly grabbed her arm to pull her closer, "Oliver li-"

Oliver ran to Lilly and grabbed her face, forcing his lips to collide with hers. Lilly loosened her grip on Miley as her arm fell to her side. Oliver pulled back and dropped his hands from her face, turning quickly and exiting his room, leaving a confused Miley and an even more confused Lilly.

"Wow."


Yes, the last one wasn't very Loliver-ish. But it did involve a kiss between them. To make up for the last one, here's a somewhat happier one. Somewhat. Anyway, I'm still not in the writing mood. Updates will be slower than before. Sorry. I'm very disatisfied with this one and even more with the other one.
