Chapter 9 Changing The Whole Plan!

"Where are you going?" Jim asked harshly as he saw Miley dressed in a short off-white dress and put her hair on a messy bun and was checking the time while sitting in the living room.

"A date." She shrugged rolling her eyes not wanting to talk to him.

"A date, huh? And why didn't I know about that?" he sounded a little angry.

"Why would I tell you?"

"Really? Then you're not going." He said firmly.

"First, you have no right to tell me what to do, second it's for the mission."

"Fuck the mission, you're disobeying me lately and that's your punishment."

"You're talking as if I'll enjoy it." She spat lying, actually for some reason she waited for that date since the day before… that's why she's dressed early. "And why would I even listen to you? You're not even my dad." She yelled then she heard the doorbell so she gave him a dirty look before heading to the door with her fake smile as always.

"Hey, Nick." She greeted.

"Hi, Miley… umm... Ready to go?" he questioned a little nervous.

"Yeah, sure." She said and stepped out closing the door behind her.

"You really look beautiful." He commented honestly.

"Thanks." She blushed… and again she noticed that it's not forced… it just happened naturally.

"I should've brought some flowers or something… but I haven't gone on a date for long enough to forget that… and when I knew I should get you some, I realized that I'd be late… so I just came… I'm so sorry… I'm-" his rambling was hushed by her hand on his mouth smiling.

"It's okay, Nick… it's not a big deal." She said making him calmer as he nodded. He guided her towards his car as he drove in silence towards the beach.

"You like the ocean… right?" he questioned.

"No, I love it." She replied. When they reached their, he took a blanket and put it on the sand so they can sit and added a basket of food on top. Then they sat there as he handed her some home made pasta.

"You made this?" she asked somehow impressed.

"Yeah, I did." He smiled watching her take a bite then looking at him in amusement.

"Good job, it's amazing." She told him.

"Thanks." And like that they ate their dinner watching the peaceful ocean and chatting allowing one another to know about their lives more, or in that case Nick allowed her while all what she said was made up lies.

An hour later, they were walking holding hands along the shore with bare feet. Her feet was almost touching the water while he walked beside her happy that he's having time with such a great girl or so he thought! He wanted to make a memory of the whole night. He wanted it to last forever, and if that couldn't happen in reality, then he'd save it in his mind… in his heart!

"You're amazing." He said without realizing as he was staring at her features.

"So are you." She stopped walking and smiled looking up at him. Suddenly he cupped her face in his hands and crashed his lips into hers.

She smiled!

She actually smiled. But she didn't know if she smiled because the plan is working or because of the feeling of his lips on hers. However, when the last thought entered her mind… she forgot the first and wrapped her arms around his neck kissing him back as he wrapped his hands around her waist.

They pulled away after a while out of breath, he rested his forehead on hers smiling while his hands were still around her waist and her arms were around his neck. If there was a change in their positions, then they were closer.

"Are you sure that I am your first kiss?" he smirked after regulating his breath.

"Yeah, why?" she asked confused.

"You're a really great kisser." He told her with a soft smile, she raised an eyebrow smirking.

"Then I think you'd like that." She said and collided their lips together once again. She actually enjoyed kissing him. This time he forced her to sit down on the sand as he sat next to her not parting their lips away. This time they didn't break the kiss. A wave did. A strong wave came and crashed the shore splashing water all over them.

She gasped and opened her closed eyes to find herself somehow laying on the sand with him on top of her while his hands were next to her head each in one side. She looked at him smiling and due to the closeness of their faces; she for the first time looked deeply in his eyes and admired their color.

"Let's go back their before we get showered with another wave." He whispered chuckling and got up offering her his hand. She took his hand and stood up as they walked in silence holding hands back to the blanket. "God, that wave was so huge. We're totally wet." He chuckled.

"Yeah, it was huge." She said quietly then looked up at the sky which was getting darker and darker as time passed, "It's getting late, I think I should go home." She mumbled.

"Ok," he said a little disappointed, "I really had a wonderful time tonight, Mi." he said as she looked at him raising an eyebrow with a smirk.

"Mi?"

"Yeah, my new nickname for ya. Like it?"

"Yeah," she smiled, "I do." She said and watched while gathering their stuff before heading towards the car again.

She didn't care about the time as she pretended to be… she didn't care about Jim, she didn't even want to go home and see him, especially after his treatment to her got harsher and she fought with him. But, she wanted to have some time for herself, she didn't know why but she liked kissing him, maybe that was the effect of kisses in general! She thought, but what she knows that not all the kisses are the same! So, why did she like them? She was absolutely sure that it wasn't the effect of Nick, because even though she liked kissing him, she still has a mission and was determined to finish it unless the gang tried to play dirty with her! So, what's wrong?

All those thoughts ran through her head while Nick was driving silently, towards her home. When they reached their, she got out of the car still thinking hardly and deeply that she forgot to say goodbye.

"Miley," he called out for her and got out of the car, she broke from her mental discussion and turned around confused, "Umm, did I do something wrong?" he asked nervously as he approached her.

"No," she lightly shook her head confused, "Why would you think that?"

"Umm, you haven't talked the whole ride and you didn't even say goodbye… I'm sorry if I rushed things with you by the kiss and all, but I-" she pecked his lips silencing him. That lonely second that their lips touched got all his worries away!

"You didn't rush anything, and you did nothing wrong." She smiled as he looked relieved.

"Good, because I really like you and I really wish you'd agree to be my girlfriend." He said smiling hesitantly.

"I thought we'd gone through this." She said and he got confused, "Yesterday, at the café, when Demi mentioned it, I thought it was the same, being on a date means boyfriend/girlfriend for ya."

"Actually I meant that, but I didn't know you've got the hint."

"I got it, don't worry."

"Well, see you tomorrow, girlfriend?" he said and she chuckled.

"Yeah, see ya."

And with that she turned around and entered the house as he got to his car again and drove away. When she entered she was surprised to see some luggage next to the door, she frowned and went to the living room where the sound of the television was heard.

"What are those luggage?" she asked Jim as she found him sitting there watching the TV.

"They're yours." He said simply not looking at her.

"What? Are you kicking me out?" she said shaking her head sarcastically.

"Yeah," he again said simply making her get surprised.

"You're kicking me out?" she asked out of the surprise.

"I said yes, I'm not even your father, so why are you staying with me?" he said referring to her previous sentence before she goes out.

"Fine." She said firmly, "I'm leaving, but I'm not coming back." She turned around and went to the front door and collected her suitcases and put them in her car. Once she settled everything, she pulled out her phone and dialed her best friend's number.

"Hey, Miles," Selena replied happily.

"Hi, Sel… umm, where are you?"

"Home, why?" she asked confused when she found that Miley wasn't her cheerful self!

"Can I spend some days with you?" she asked her.

"Sure, Miles, what's wrong?"

"I'll tell you everything when I come, I'll be there in ten." She said and hung up driving towards her best friend's house.

An hour later, she was sitting with Selena on her bed as she told her everything that happened since she last talked to her. Selena seemed surprised by Jim's actions with Miley as he was really kind to her during her twenty years alive! Or at least since he 'adopted' her!

"He simply kicked you out just like that?"

"Yeah, what a jerk, huh?" Miley shook her head, "And I was afraid that they'll hurt him because of me? Right now I don't care about anyone in that gang except for me and you." The silence filled the air for a while until Selena spoke,

"So?" Selena smirked.

"So, what?"

"How was he?"

"How was who?" Miley said playing dumb.

"You know what I mean, the hottie of your mission."

"Oh, Nick? Yeah, what about him?" she said even though she knew what Selena exactly wanted to hear.

"Really?" she sighed, "Well, I'll ask it straight: is he a good kisser?"

"Well, my friend, I can't tell about that because he was my first kiss, so I don't know the differences." Miley said a little sadly.

"So, he kissed you, interesting," Selena said giving her thinking face, "You would know anyway, Miles. Did you like it?"

"Yeah," she said honestly.

"Well, then in your dictionary he's a good kisser."

"Selena, that thing is bothering me." Miley said looking at her with worried eyes making Selena confused.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, I felt like everything was perfect while I was holding his hand. And that kiss made me forget for a while and just for a while who I really was, but at the same time I'm still on for the mission."

"Oh, no."

"What?"

"You like him," Selena said with panicked face.

"What? No, no, no, I don't."

"Yes, Miley, you do, trust me." Selena said and Miley tried to search her eyes for any sign that say that she's just kidding but found none.

"What are you talking about, Sel? I can't just like him."

"Tell me how you see him."

"Well, he's kind, generous, good looking and idiot for believing in me so easy."

"See? It's the first time you deal with a guy like that, kind and white hearted, not harsh and could kill you if you upset him with a word. And that's the kind of guy you like, seeing that you're not really a faithful member in the gang. When you met him and got to know him, you didn't care about that at first or tried to push it away, but then when he started seeing you as more than a friend you poured those feelings out." Selena told her with confidence as if she was talking about herself!

Miley thought about it for a while just to find Selena's words totally fit her and her feelings and thoughts. She bit her lip feeling angry at herself.

"What should I do?"

"Well, you know if those feelings got stronger, you won't want to even hurt him or his family, and then that gang won't be pleased, so for your own sake you've got to try and stop those feelings."

"I'm not even convinced that I could have feelings for anyone, Selena. It's kinda impossible, you know I'm hard like a rock, my heart isn't that easy to fall."

"Yeah, but for you Nick's hard not to fall for. I told you, he's the kind of guy you like."

"But, he's like a nerd, I don't like those guys." Miley tried to disagree.

"Miley, he's not a nerd, first he's cool according to your stories about him, and he's adventurous and risky, he's going to be a police man, Miles." Once again, Miley found Selena's words right.

"So, you think I should stop those feelings?"

"Yes, Miley, the gang will probably kill you if they just knew you have feelings for him, they won't wait for you to even complete the mission. And if they didn't know, you won't be able to continue the mission."

"Their aim is not for me to kill him they just want the papers against them."

"Miley, think about it, why would they tell you to kill him in the first place?"

"To make me into the mission then tell me about the papers when there's no coming back."

"No, listen, they told you to get so close to him, and they knew that it's too dangerous to be so close to someone out of the gang… let alone he's going to be a police man. And they know that he'll figure out about the gang anyway, maybe not soon, but at least when those papers disappear –that's considering he knows about them, which he probably does- so he'll also be dangerous for them sooner or later. That's why they wanted you to kill him… not to revenge for your father."

Miley's blood boiled in her head; she didn't believe that she was actually that stupid to fall for that lie from the gang. She's never been that stupid, so why now? Was it because of her love for her father who she didn't even get the chance to know?

Well, it was probably because of that, she wanted to revenge for her father so bad that she accepted the mission without even thinking about it. Selena was right… they wouldn't care about her father! They wouldn't care about a dead man even if he was the most important member for them. They know that it would bring them more trouble to revenge for him!

So that could be summarized as follows:

First, they raised Miley to be a black hearted creature, so she won't care about anything!

Then, they told her that Nick's her enemy because he'll be a policeman and will search for them- because of his father's papers and the fact that he died trying to catch them- when he starts his job, and that his father was the reason that her father died.

She got blinded with hatred that she couldn't see what's underneath; they wanted her to get the papers that accuse them and kill him, not because of her father but because they knew he'll form a great danger on them later!

And she simply fell for that!

"Well, now my aim has changed, my friend." Miley smiled evilly.

"What do you mean?"

"I'm not a fool to complete this mission now that I know the real aim for it."

"Miley, what are you up to?" Selena asked worried.

"You told me before that it wasn't his fault that my dad died, right?" Selena nodded nervously as Miley smirked evilly and completed, "Well, I'm convinced now with that. I'm not killing him. I'm getting the papers thought, but not for them. I'll keep them."

"What are you going to do with the papers, Miley?"

"Well, I'll see when I get them. I could either simply give them to the police, or keep them with me just to make sure we're safe with the gang. And by 'we' I mean me and you. And if it's so important to kill someone in that mission, then it would be Jim."

"Jim?"

"Yeah, he's the biggest traitor I've seen in my life. He must have known all of that, and yet he fooled me even though he's the one who raised me."

"But what about Nick?"

"I don't know, I guess I could have some fun with him." She shrugged.

"You can't, I told you, you could fall for him even more."

"Then, I'll just focus on the mission, even though I think in that case there's no harm to like him if I'm going to be against the gang anyway."

"Miley, you're playing a dangerous game." Selena warned.

"What's the worst that would happen? I die? So, what, I'll die eventually." She shrugged again.

Miley looked at Selena's warning to the gang's side only, she looked at the word dangerous for the physical meaning only, but she didn't notice that there's an emotional meaning of it too. The emotional part that contain 'having fun' like she said!

"Look, Miley, even thought that could end up with a disaster, but I'm with you."

"No, Sel, you'll risk your life." Miley shook her head.

"No, I know you're smart, and that you'll get us out of it by your quick-witted side." Selena said seriously as Miley thought about it and quickly made a plan before smiling.

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"Well, I think we need to make a phone call!"

XxXx

While Jim was getting ready to sleep, he heard his phone ringing, he huffed before going out of bed and over towards the phone already wanting to ignore it, but he frowned when he saw the number. With a bored sight, he answered,

"Hello?"

"Hey, Jim, I know I probably woke you up, but I don't care." The man said with a thick voice and laughed. While Jim gritted his teeth annoyed.

"I'm honored by your call, sir." He said to his boss obviously lying.

"Quit telling lies, Jim." The boss laughed again, "Anyway, I have some good news for you."

"What is it?"

"Your little baby is safe for a while, unless she did something else wrong."

"Why? What changed?"

"Selena's working with her on the mission, that'll make it quicker." Jim froze in his place when he heard those words.

"But, sir, they-"

"Stop, Jim, you don't have the right to tell me your opinions, you just listen and do whatever I say." And then the line went dead.

"That little bitches." Jim screamed as he put the phone with force in its place. "They're ruining what I've built in my entire life."

Making the mission quicker meant that he won't have time to get his money from the gang like he planned! Also, Miley doing a mistake is not for his good, that will mean that he failed in raising her and teaching her, which will also lead him to come out from the gang with nothing but his clothes if they even let him have it!

He had to deal with just Miley before, now he has to deal with her friend too. It's his fault from the beginning, he allowed her to have friends. He kicked her out, he should've known that she has no where else to go except Selena's. Since, she can't tell Nick everything!

Yes, he was determined to get closer to her before so he makes sure that she doesn't make any mistake so her mission goes right, so –and most importantly for him- he finds a way to get his money and run away! But just the thought that she could be the reason of him losing his money made him didn't want to see her face again. Eighteen years of living with her and taking care of her vanished from his memory when he knew that she could make him lose his money!

Now, he only has one choice, but it'll be hard. He has to make sure Miley's doing right in the mission, so he must win her and Selena back. Knowing the stubbornness of her it'll be hard. But maybe her friend could be a card he can play with! Either ways, he'd find a way to reach his aim which is called money.

Miley was sitting in Selena's living room while Selena was out buying some supplies for the home when her phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Miley, it's me Demi." She heard a quite voice saying.

"Oh, yeah, hey Demi, what's up?" she said as the woman sighed.

"Are you free?"

"Yeah, something wrong?" she said judging the desperate tone Demi was using.

"Actually, yeah, I need a friend."

"Where are you?" Miley asked even though she didn't really want to go, but she seemed to really need help, so she was going to give it to her to keep her good side in front of them and also she felt like she should do that!

"At my home, you have the address, right?"

"Yeah, I'm coming now; I'll just change and come." She said.

"Thanks, Miley." She said and they hung up as Miley sighed and got up to search for something to wear when her phone rang again… she looked for the caller ID and smirked reading the word 'Jim'

"Looks like the plan is working…"
