With a Little Faith

Chapter 10- Pool Party

Miley, Selena, and Demi sat in their usual pew for Sunday mornings. They held a light conversation about nothing in particular, until they were interrupted by Nick.

"Um, Sel?" he stood there nervously.

Selena, knowing he did something she didn't approve of, scowled. "What did you do now?" she snapped.

"Um, I won't be able to make lunch" he mumbled.

"What?" she screeched. The whole sanctuary stopped talking and looked at them. She hesitated before thinking of an excuse. "Um, sorry everybody. Just making sure you're all ready for my brother's sermon" she pulled Nick into a hug.

People looked at her awkwardly before returning to their conversations. She looked at him. "What do you mean you won't make it for lunch?" she whispered.

"Um, Nicole-" she cut him off.

"Oh I should have known!" she barked. "Fine, skip out on Sunday lunch. See if I care! See if Demi or Joe care! See if Miley and Mackenzie care! I don't!" He winced. "Just go out with your stupid girlfriend! You might as well ask her out now, I mean, you apparently don't care about what your family thinks. Just leave us alone!"

She ran off crying. Demi sighed and ran after her. He looked at Miley. "Are you mad at me too?" he asked.

She frowned. "No, not really" she answered softly. "But I'm disappointed. You know she planned this and yet you couldn't tell Nicole you had plans."

"She's only mad because it's Nicole" he noted.

"No Nick" she corrected him. "That might be a little of it, but she planned this and you made other plans. If her hatred for Nicole is what you think is wrong here, you are the worst brother in the world."

Miley left and followed her friend's paths. He was going to call after her but decided it was a lost cause. He sighed, unaware Joe had just showed up.

"What exactly just happened?" Joe asked.

Selena had cooled off a little after her argument with Nick, but she was still pretty mad. Demi and Miley had decided it was best not to go to the service this morning. They picked up Mackenzie from the nursery and went to Selena's house. Joe met them there after the service.

Miley was sitting on the side of the pool reading a magazine. Joe and Demi were making out in the hot tub and Selena was playing with Kenzie in the shallow end. Something drew Miley's attention away from her magazine.

She sighed and walked to the gate. "What are you doing here?"

Nick bit his lip. "Lunch with Nicole ended early. So I thought I'd come over here and apologize. You're right, I shouldn't have done that."

She raised an eyebrow at him. "I don't think I'm the one you should apologize too" she opened the gate to let him in. "She's in the shallow end with Mackenzie."

He smiled at her. "Thanks, Miley" he hugged her.

It took her by surprise but she warmed up to it quickly. She loved the feel of his strong arms around her body. She wished he wouldn't let go.

But she knew he had too, and he did. They smiled at each other before he walked over to his sister. Her smile didn't fade, but she gave a small sigh.

Miley watched her daughter as she slept. After Nick had apologized to Selena, and Selena accepted, Mackenzie began to get tired. And gradually, she went to sleep. So Miley had laid her down on a chair far enough away from the pool so she wouldn't get wet, but close enough so Miley could watch her.

"She's cute" Nick's voice startled her.

"Yeah" Miley replied when she came back to reality.

"Can you stop watching her for an hour and a half?" he asked. She looked at him. "I mean so you can enjoy the pool."

"Oh, right" she gave a nervous chuckle. "I don't know."

"Come here" he took her hand and led her to the edge of the pool. "You can swim right?" he asked. She laughed and nodded. "Then get in."

She smirked at him. She placed her hands on his bare chest and gave him a shove. He fell in. When he surfaced, she laughed.

"Oh you think that's funny?" he asked. She nodded as she laughed. "Help me up." He held out his hand. She took it and pulled him up a little, before dropping him on purpose.

"That's it" he lifted himself out of the pool and grabbed her. She screamed but laughed. "If I'm gonna get wet, so are you" he tried to push her in.

She screamed and tried to resist but he was so strong. She ended up in the water. "I hate you!" she yelled at him. He laughed and held out his hand to help her up. She took it and pulled him.

"Not fair!" he laughed.

She smirked and hoisted herself up onto his shoulders, dragging him under. "Go Miley!" Selena yelled from the shallow end.

Nick resurfaced and gave a laughing Miley a warning look. But before he could do anything, Selena leaped out of the water and pulled him under. The two girls laughed and high fived each other.

"Joe! Help!" Nick called.

Joe, who was on the side of the pool with Demi, laughed and jumped in to help his brother. Miley and Selena screamed when the brothers came closer and dunked them. When they resurfaced, Joe picked Selena up and Nick picked up Miley. The two girls squealed as they were thrown into the air and landed in the water.

"Chicken fight!" Joe called and hoisted Selena up on his shoulders.

Nick did the same with Miley. "You are so on!" Miley yelled at Selena, who laughed. The girls began to wrestle until Selena ended up in the water.

"Rematch!" she called playfully.

It was around seven when everyone got out of the pool. Mackenzie had woken up and Miley and Nick had played with her. Then Selena gave them a break and they joined Demi and Joe in the hot tub. But sadly, they didn't kiss or make out.

Now they were all sitting around the fireplace wrapped in towels. Mackenzie sat in Miley's lap, who was sitting beside Nick. Demi sat in Joe's lap and Selena sat between the two couples. They were all eating pizza.

"Today was fun" Selena commented.

"I agree" Miley laughed.

"Me too "Demi beamed.

"I want to go home" Mackenzie whined. "I'm tired."

Everyone laughed. "I guess that's my cue to go home" Miley smiled. She and Mackenzie stood up and walked over to their things.

Nick stood up and rushed over. "I um, can give you a ride a home" he told her.

She smiled at him. "Thanks but I brought my car" she giggled.

"Oh, well, um" he bit his lip. "Are you doing anything tomorrow?"

"I have work" she answered.

"I mean for dinner" he clarified. She looked at him. "I wanted to know if you wanted to go on a picnic with me. Mackenzie can come."

"Is that a date?" she asked.

He smiled. "Only if you want it to be."
