Miley's POV:
"Bye you guys!" I cried, waving as the Grays drove away. I sighed as they disappeared and turned to look at the person standing next to me: Nick. They were all going away for the night to some relation's wedding. And I refused to go because I was not family and would feel extremely awkward.
And Nick didn't go because… well, I have no idea why he didn't go.
But I'm sure glad he didn't. For one thing, I didn't wanna stay here all alone. I barely knew anyone around here. Secondly, I would be way too bored all alone, but then again, Nick's not gonna be much help with that.
Nick's POV:
Ugh. Great, the whole family is away and I'm stuck with little Ms. Smiley. It's not like I had my heart set on going or anything, I was more than pleasured to stay home, but when I found out Miley wasn't going, I thought it may be better if I did.
I mean… she makes me feel things I don't want to. It's crazy. I didn't like it.
But no, my mom made me stay. My mom thought it wouldn't be safe to leave Miley here all alone what since this was a new place to her and all. Why my mom chose me, was beyond me. I mean, the one time I'm willing to get out of the house and she forces me to stay!
No one's POV:
The teens headed inside the house. Nick shut the door behind Miley and she turned to face him. "So…?" she said, trying to start a conversation. "Yup." He replied, sticking his hands into his pant pockets. "Uh-huh." She stated. Wow. Not awkward at all.
"I'm just gonna…" Nick trailed off uneasily, pointing towards is room. "Oh yeah, me too." Miley replied.
Miley's POV:
(Later on)
I sat on the couch, flipping through the channels. Ugh. Nothing good was on TV. I leaned back on the couch, snuggling against the couch pillow and sighing. I was bored, and had nothing to do. I was starting to wish I had after all, taken up their offer and gone with the rest of them. I sighed and sat up straight.
It was getting darker and darker; I looked over at the huge ticking clock: 6:30, it read. I sighed and got up. But kept the TV on just to fill the eerie silence that would probably fill the air if I turned it off. I walked into the kitchen and opened the cupboards, rummaging through them for any sort of food.
All I found that I didn't have to cook was cereal. I was not going to eat cereal for dinner. I put the cereal box back in and shut the door. Walking over to the fridge I opened it and took a quick survey of the items it held. Nothing. I could make a sandwich but that was way too much work for now.
So I head back into the living room and decided to order pizza. I probably should ask Nick if he wanted anything. I made my way up the stairs to find his room locked. I rolled my eyes, figures. He would be he only person to ever lock his bedroom door when no one else is even home.
I knocked. "Who is it?" What? Are you kidding me? We were the only two people here! "M-Miley?" I answered incredulously. I heard some shuffling around in the room and a minute later, the door opened and there he appeared. "What's up?" he asked. "I was just gonna order some pizza, came up here to ask you if you wanted some?"
He nodded, "Thanks." I smiled, "No problem. Any particular topping?" He shook his head, his curls bouncing around and he looked so cute, "Nah. Thanks again." I smiled. "No problem, again." I turned around to leave.
A little while later after I had called in for pizza I sat on the couch, waiting for it to arrive. I was still doing the same thing I was about fifteen minutes ago, flipping through the channels. Stupid television people have nothing good on.
I heard the sound of feet climbing down the stairs and turned around to find Nick. I smiled, "Hey." "Hi." He replied. He walked over and sat down at the other end of the couch, my eyes following his movements the whole time.
"Anything good on?" he asked and I shook my head, "Nope." "Oh." A few seconds passed before I turned to him, "You wanna watch a movie?" I asked him and he nodded, "Sure." I got up and walked towards the rack where all CDs were held.
I delved around and found something. "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?" I asked him and he nodded. (I SO badly wanna watch that movvviiiieee! But it's not out in my country. Any who already has wanna rub it in my face, please feel free to. Lmao. Jk.)
I put it on and went back to my position on the couch as the opening credits began. A few minutes into the movie, and right when I was really starting to get into it, the doorbell rang.
"That must be the pizza." I said, turning to face Nick. He nodded and stood up, "I'll get it." I nodded but paused the movie and followed him anyways. Nick opened the door. Yup, it definitely was the pizza. And also, it was raining! I was starting to wish I never had to go back home because it never rained there!
I took the pizza as Nick headed inside to get the money. The pizza delivery guy looked pretty scary. He stared me up and down as I felt myself growing uncomfortable. Thank god Nick returned quickly. I think he noticed my uneasiness, because he shot the guy a hard glare as he handed him the money. Aw, how sweet. (A/N: Lol.)
We headed inside and I placed the pizza on the table in front of us. I retrieved the movie as we both started to eat. We could hear the rain in the background. The place grew cold and nice. Both of us finished the pizza and leaned back on the couch, extremely full, at least I was.
Out of the blue, we heard thunder and lightning strike as the power went out. I jumped. Now, I was scared. Sure, I loved the rain. But I never said I liked thunder and lightning. A strike of lightning slashed through the sky and I could feel my fear growing. I was shivering, but I was too busy being scared to notice.
"M-Miley…?" I heard Nick ask as I bolted back to reality. Nick was here. Nick was here. No need to be afraid.
"Nick." I stood up and heard him do the same. It was pitch black so we couldn't see anything. "Hold on, I'll get my cell phone." He muttered and a few seconds later, a tiny light illuminated the room. But I was satisfied with that much for now.
I breathed out a sigh of relief. "Come on, let's go get some candles." He told me. I nodded and followed him into the kitchen. I opened the cupboard ad he stood right behind me, providing light for me. I found the candles and pulled them out along with a matchbox.
I hurriedly lit one candle up. I sighed. Alright, now it was all better. I turned around and jumped. Nick was still really close to me. I looked up at him to find him staring right back at me.
I couldn't speak. I tried to, trust me, but the words seemed to be struck deep inside my throat. Blue met brown. We did nothing but stare at each other for god knows how long.
Nick's POV:
Don't ask me how we ended up with the situation in hand, because I had no idea. I stared down at her and couldn't help but comprehend how her beauty was sharpened by the subtle candle light. Things I shouldn't be feeling and emotions that I shouldn't be holding ran through my body.
I didn't know what I was doing or what I should be doing. I didn't know what was about to come. So, I stopped racking my brain and let my heart control what I did.
Her eyes were blue… I never noticed. They just made her even more gorgeous. I could feel a slight smile growing on my face as my I brought my hand up and ever so slightly brushed a few stray strands of hair out of her face. God, why did I feel so smitten?
Miley's POV:
"I go right;
Should have gone left.
And I say things,
I should of not said.
Look at me in this big mess,
I don´t wanna be here.
Everything I do;
Is making me more confused;
Oh it used to be easy.
All I had to be was me."
Now I´m mixed upWhat's happening? Somebody tell me please and quick! My heart became a beating frenzy. I'm sure it was beating a thousand miles per second. I didn't think of Nick like that. I didn't think of Nick like that. I didn't think of Nick like that. No, no, no!
But as our faces inched closer and closer, I did nothing to stop him or myself. His eyes were of brown color. A heart-melting chocolate brown.
He's going to kiss me.
But I don't want him to.
Of course I don't.
But he looked so damn cute.
No, Miley. No, no, no!
Ok, here's a deal. I do absolutely nothing and let him do whatever he wants to. Fair enough, heart?
Our lips were just inches apart; our noses touching; our hot breaths on each other's faces; our eyes intent on each other except for when mine darted from his to his lips for a second – but only for a second – then immediately darted back up.
My hands moved along the counter. Suddenly, I hit the bottle of juice sitting on it. I knocked it over accidently and the noise of glass making contact with the ground filled the house. Bt neither of us broke our gaze, acting as if nothing just happened.
I shut my eyes, and then right when our lips were about to touch---
CRASH!
Both of us jumped back. I blinked simultaneously, as I tried to understand what had just happened. We kissed? No! We almost kissed? Yes…
Oh god, oh god, oh god. I could feel a blush rising in my cheeks. Not once did I look up at Nick. Things were way too awkward. I focused on my shoe. I heard his clearing his throat and looked up to see him rubbing his neck nervously. He looked so goddamn cute!
Ugh. Damn you Nicholas J, for doing this to me!
Neither of us dared to say a word. Suddenly, the lights switched back on. I sighed thankfully and blew the candle off. After having cleared the mess on the floor, we both went back to the living room and sat back down, each of us at each end of the couch.
I blindly reached for the remote and turned the movie back on, not even noticing that it started to play from the beginning. I just needed it to break the silence. It was just seven thirty but I realized I was kinda tired as a yawn slipped out.
I turned to face Nick and found him looking at me only to snap my head back, flushing. God, help me get through the night.
Nick's POV:
(Later that night)
I woke up to find myself in an extremely uncomfortable position. Where was I and why wasn't I in my room? I was still sitting –no, lying—in the couch, I realized. But who was this lying next to me? I looked over and was startled to realize it was Miley.
Weren't we sitting like, miles apart from each other? How in the world did I result to holding her while we slept? She stirred in her sleep, snuggling deeper into my chest. I sighed. I was in no mood to get up. And also, this felt kinda nice… kinda.
I settled back and closed my eyes, immediately falling into a deep slumber again.
Miley's POV:
I didn't know. I didn't know that, that night. I slept with Nick holding me. I didn't know that, that night, I realized my feelings for Nick. I didn't know… that, this was the first time I dreamt of Nicholas Jerry… (A/N: Twilight moment! Haha.)
