"I cannot believe you flirted with that Caroline woman." Nick chuckled and shook his head as Miley tried to unlock their room. They had just arrived at the hotel and gotten their key. The last thing they got left to do before they could relax was getting settled in.
"I didn't flirt with her! All I did was smile gratefully after she handed me the last key to one of the biggest and best rooms!" Miley shook her head as she finally unlocked the door. Stumbling over her bags, Miley burst into the room.
"Yeah, that's just a bad excuse." Nick chuckled as he walked in after his girlfriend.
"No, it's not. It's the truth." Miley huffed and tried to put down all the bags.
"Uhm, I don't know what you see as a bad excuse and what not a bad excuse is, but whatever. She totally flirted back anyway. And your stupid sexy smile had her swooning over you! And then, she winked at you! Yes, she did, don't deny it! And you just… holy crap, that's an awesome room!" Miley dropped the bags as she looked around amazed. Nick chuckled as he walked up to Miley. He put an arm around her waist.
"I know, right? And it's all for us." Miley turned around in Nick's arm as he put the other on her waist as well. She pecked his lips and smiled a little.
"This almost makes me forgive you for flirting with that lady down there…" Nick smiled and wanted to kiss her again but Miley pulled her head back.
"I said almost…" She pulled out of Nick's arms and grabbed her bags. Nick sighed and watched her walk into the bedroom. This room was almost like a suite. It had sort of like a hallway, a bathroom and a bedroom. And it had the most beautiful view ever.
"Come on… I did not flirt with her! She winked at me, yes, and I smiled at her, that's true too. But I didn't flirt with her!" Miley put the bags on their bed and started unpacking.
"You know, you smiled at me too a few times before we got together. And I think you were flirting with me. Or weren't you?" Nick sighed again as he sat down next to the bags she was unpacking.
"I was flirting with you. You should know that I have three different types of smiles - if not more. There's the polite one-" Nick showed her the smile he sent the receptionist - "And there's the flirty one-" He showed her his pearly whites, though it didn't look like he did too much - "And the last one is the happy one." He smiled at her happily or at least he tried too - he couldn't be happy when Miley wasn't. Miley sighed and looked at him.
"You… I… She totally thought you were flirting with her." Nick pulled Miley closer to him by her waist.
"But we know I didn't. And if she tries to flirt with me again I'll happily take your hand and kiss you in front of her. If she finds that rude… oh well…" Miley giggled lightly and played with Nick's curls.
"She did give us this awesome room…" Nick chuckled and put his head on Miley's flat stomach.
"You have weird mood swings." Miley giggled. Nick pulled her down on his lap and looked into her eyes. Miley smiled at him and linked her arms around his neck.
"That's okay, you date me anyway…" Nick chuckled and kissed her cheek.
"Yeah… just you saying 'date' even though we're like 25 makes you seem weird." Miley rolled her eyes.
"Everyone says date! The only person who I know that doesn't say 'date' is you… so, I think you're the one who's weird." Nick laughed and put his forehead on hers.
"Whatever you say, Mi." Miley giggled and pecked his lips quickly before she pulled back.
"No matter how much I'd love to kiss you right now, in the end, we do have to unpack." Nick rolled his eyes and got up with Miley.
"Yeah, whose fault is that?" Miley turned around and glared at him.
"What did you say again?" Nick shrugged and motioned toward her luggage.
"Uhm, I practically said it was your fault. I mean, I brought one suitcase with the most necessary things. You brought… well, all that." Miley huffed and walked to the suitcases.
"I know for a fact that half of the stuff I brought was just for you." Nick looked at her confused.
"What do you mean? It's not like I told you to bring something for me." Miley giggled and slowly pulled something out of one of the suitcases.
"I know… I just thought you might like this." She started swinging it around her and giggled as Nick's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. Miley held one particular kind of clothing in her hand that about every man walking this planet - except the gay - would love to see a woman in. Lingerie.
"Tell me you didn't bring that…" Miley laughed and stuffed it back in the suitcase.
"I did… along with the other… four." Nick groaned and fell back onto the bed.
"You have no idea what you are doing to me right now." Miley giggled and walked over to him. She sat on top of him, her legs on either side of his body so she was straddling him. Nick groaned again as Miley giggled.
"I think I kind of do." Nick put his hands on her thighs and rubbed them gently as Miley leaned down and placed her head on his chest.
"I'm so tired." Nick closed his eyes, bit his lip and shook his head.
"You just turned me on big time and then you have to go and say… this? Come on, Mi, don't torture me here." Miley laughed quietly into his chest.
"But I love to do that. Make you squirm. It's not that late yet. We'll go to the beach where you'll get to see me in a really sexy bikini and then we can go back up here and… have some fun." Nick looked at her skeptically.
"The same kind of fun you said we would have last time where I ended up looking like a jealous, overprotective jerk of a boyfriend and you scared of that one ride we went one?" Miley looked at Nick with big eyes.
"I won't mean that kind of fun if you stop saying sentences that long." Nick chuckled and nodded.
"Fine, do you mean the same kind of fun that I mean?" Laughing, Miley nodded and then shook her head.
"You are one horn-dog, Mr. Gray. But I for one like it." Nick chuckled and kissed her neck before they got up.
"Well, I'm glad then. I mean, what would I do if you didn't like it?" Miley shrugged playfully and walked over to the suitcases again. She began unpacking and threw some of Nick's stuff over to him. He caught it every time and put it in the drawers. There wasn't any sense in unpacking but both of them loved their place tidy not… well, untidy.
"You know, I think I like this… you and me, all alone…" Miley turned around and raised an eyebrow at him.
"Oh, but we're not alone. We have the seagulls watching us." Miley pointed at the window to show him that there were indeed two seagulls sitting there. Nick chuckled and shrugged as he finished with his clothes. Miley finished soon after.
"You know what I mean though. I meant that there is no one to disturb us… and no, I don't count the birds as a disturbance." Miley giggled and rolled her eyes a bit.
"I know what you mean, okay? I might kind of like you, Gray." Nick chuckled and walked up to her to put his hands on her waist. He grinned down at the young woman in front of him.
"I might kind of like you too, Stewart. And to think I once thought your name was Amanda Field…" Miley glared at him playfully.
"I told you once, I was shocked that you came back and just thought that it would be weird because I figured you'd know the name of you lawyer. So let's not bring that up again, okay?" He nodded and kissed her forehead.
"I know, I was just kidding." Miley nodded and put her head onto his chest, sighing a bit. Nick pulled her closer and kissed her head again.
"Let's go to the beach." Miley nodded again and let go of Nick to grab her bikini. She held it up with her pointer finger and let it dangle around in front of his face.
"I'm going to wear this… you'll enjoy this too…" Nick raised an eyebrow suggestively as Miley walked into the bathroom. She giggled and shut the door behind her. Nick groaned quietly and shook his head. This girl would be the end of him. He walked to the dresser with his stuff in it and grabbed swimming trunks out of it.
He quickly dropped his pants and boxers and pulled his trunks on. He pulled the dress shirt off and pulled a tank top on. He grabbed a sun lotion and a few other things and put it in a beach bag. Suddenly the door of the bathroom opened and Miley stepped out with shorts on and a tank top herself. Nick smirked at her as she handed him the towels.
"How did you know I was packing for the beach?" Miley giggled and shrugged as she pulled her hair up in a ponytail.
"I guessed. I mean, I did take pretty long and you are you so I just thought you'll probably be packing stuff we need for the beach." Nick chuckled and grabbed Miley's hand as they walked out of the hotel room. Nick locked the door and together they walked out of the hotel. The lady at the reception smiled at them but Miley just secretly glared at her.
Nick didn't want to upset Miley in any way again so he just ignored the Caroline lady. Miley smiled at him and he kissed the side of her head. She put her head on his shoulder as they walked along the pier, aiming for the beach.
"You know, I think Lydia was right…" Nick looked down at Miley and smiled.
"Oh yeah? Why do you think so?" Miley shrugged and giggled.
"Well, I like it here and I like being here with you. I just… I think I really did need this little vacation." Nick nodded.
"Yeah, you did. I did too. Lydia is a great person for letting you - us, have this vacation." Miley nodded a little and smiled.
"She's amazing. You know, she got married to her first client. I think that's cute. I don't know what bad thing he did but I know he was her first client. She said they had troubles until the court was over. There was a time where it seemed as if he would get into jail and she said that was their hardest time. But they managed to get through that." Nick smiled.
"And we'll get through that too. Mi… if they do sentence me to go to jail… would you still - stand by me and support me? I mean, would it be enough to say we fought and we know it wasn't me?" Miley stopped walking and turned to Nick.
"Of course! I'll be with you no matter what, okay? If you have to go jail, I'll visit you as often as possible. But the thing is you won't be going to jail because you didn't do it… right?" Nick shook his head.
"Of course I didn't do it! Do you doubt me or something?" Miley shook her head quickly. She grabbed his hands and looked into his eyes.
"Of course not. I know you didn't do it! But I just… I know you didn't do it but you never said you didn't. Well, I mean you did and I knew you didn't do it even at the funeral because nobody can act that well. I know those tears were real and I know you didn't do it. But I'm a lawyer and I have to ask you. I mean, I'm your girlfriend but… I'm your lawyer too. But I believe you as a girlfriend and as your lawyer." Nick sighed.
"I know, sorry. I guess it's a sensitive thing with me, you know? So many people have questioned me and asked me if I wasn't lying. I guess people still doubting me hurts. I hurts to know that my friends - the people that know me my whole life don't believe me. I'm glad you do." Miley smiled and put a hand on his cheek.
"Of course I do. You are sure as hell not that kind of person." Nick leaned forward and kissed her gently. Miley pulled back and bit her lip.
"You're awesome." Nick chuckled and put his arm around Miley's shoulder. They finally arrived at the beach. Miley sighed happily and looked around.
"It's funny… I've lived in LA for my whole life and yet I haven't been there for a lifetime." Nick chuckled and shrugged.
"I know what you're talking about though. We don't take us enough time anymore - to live, I mean. We just concentrate on our jobs and on money. We should live more - we are allowed to live. We're only 25, right?" Miley nodded against his shoulder.
"You're right. That's why we are here. We'll make it through this. I know that because I'm fighting for the right here. They're in the wrong. Who sued you anyway?" Nick shrugged as they finally found a place to lay their towels.
"I don't know. I guess that's mandatory because there was a murder. They have to sue someone, right? You're the lawyer, you tell me." Miley opened the beach bag and spread out a big towel. They sat down on it and Nick instantly put an arm around her.
"Yeah, they do have to sue someone. But usually they look for that someone first. I guess it's because you were there - because you called them. And I guess it was because it happened like a few minutes before you called them which made them suspicious. But come on, seriously, who murders someone and calls the police right after?" Nick chuckled and pulled his arm back. He pulled his tank top over his head. Miley turned to him and smirked.
"That's how I like my man." Nick laughed and eyed her up and down.
"Yeah, well that' not how I like my woman. You got to lose the shirt too." Miley rolled her eyes and pulled the top over her head as well. Nick kept on checking her body out, trying to remember every part of it. He smirked too and tried to stay as not erected as possible. Her body was hot - no need to deny it.
"Yeah, that's better. Did anyone ever tell you that you're hot?" Miley blushed and shrugged. She played with the sand.
"Well, some did. You do a lot. And you know what? You make me feel kind of hot too." Nick chuckled and leaned over to kiss her neck. Miley giggled.
"Thank god, because you are. And now, how about we go have some fun in the ocean?" Miley giggled and got up right after Nick. He pulled her to her feet and waited for her to pull her shorts down. He smirked even more as he put an arm around her.
"Now that's how I like it." Miley laughed and walked with him to where the water began. She wanted to walk in until it touched her toes. Squealing, Miley ran back to where the waves didn't crash. Nick turned to her confused.
"What?" Miley shook her head quickly.
"There's no way in hell that I'm getting in that water. It's cold!" Nick chuckled and walked up to her and put his hands on her waist.
"But it's hot and that is the best way to cool down." Miley stepped back and crossed her arms over her chest stubbornly.
"No." Nick looked back at the water, back at Miley and then back at the water again. A smirk crossed his face as he suddenly picked Miley up and threw her over his shoulder. She squealed and hit his back repeatedly, trying to get him to put her down but he wouldn't. Laughing, he jogged over to the water. He walked in until it reached his waist and let Miley slide down so her legs were wrapped around his torso. She pouted at him like a little child which made him laugh since he was holding her like she was one.
"That wasn't fair. I know you're going to get me wet at least until my waist." Nick chuckled and kissed her forehead.
"That's what water's for. It's there to get you wet and to cool you down. Also of course to drink but come on, salt water is not really the best to drink." Miley sighed and put her head onto Nick's shoulder. He rubbed her back a bit.
"Fine, let me down." Nick smiled and let go off her, dropping her into the water. After waiting for a bit and not seeing his girlfriend surface again he started to worry. The water wasn't even that dirty so he should've been able to see her. He started pushing the water away even though he knew that wouldn't help him.
"Miley? Mi, come on, this isn't funny." He wanted to scream her name out again but suddenly, something pulled him down from behind. Miley came out from under the water and started laughing immediately. In fact, she started laughing under water. Nick surfaced again and turned around to stare at his girlfriend, laughing hysterically.
"Oh, you think you're funny? You ruined my hair." Miley laughed some more and put her hand on Nick's chest. She rubbed it a little and bit her lip, looking up at him with seductive eyes.
"And now you're mad at me?" Nick stared down at his girlfriend looking up at him, looking as sexy as ever. He tried to maintain his cool as he replied.
"I guess not." Miley smirked and leaned up to whisper in his ear.
"Right answer. You'll get a reward later." She leaned back, winked at him and dived back under the water, cooling her body once again. Of course, seeing Nick's chest dripping from the water and being so close to him kind of got her… hot and bothered as well.
Nick watched her dive until she came back to him. He put an arm around her waist and pulled her body flush against his.
"So what's my reward then?" Miley giggled and shrugged. She put her arms around him as well.
"I don't know… we'll see. But you'll like it." Nick raised an eyebrow and Miley winked at him. He kissed her forehead and let go off her.
"I think I'm cool now." Nick chuckled and walked out of the water with her.
"I still think you're hot." Miley turned to him and ran both her hands through her hair. He licked his lips and watched her giggled.
"Yeah, but I don't think I can help that." Nick laughed and nodded.
"That's true but I don't want you to be able to help that." Miley shook her head, laughing. She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her body. Nick just lay down on the towel on the floor and waited for her to lie down. She did and he put an arm under her so she could snuggle into his side. He sighed a little as she snuggled her head deeply into his shoulder.
"I think those are the best moments…" Nick chuckled a little, confused by what she said and looked at her from the corner of his eye.
"What? When I tell you you're hot?" Miley rolled her eyes and hit his chest a little.
"No, I meant this. When we just snuggle and are close to each other. It's nice." Nick nodded a bit and put his head onto Miley's.
"Yeah it is… but I think every moment with you is nice. Even when we fight… well, fighting is not necessary but in the human nature, isn't it?" Miley smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, it is. I like everything too. But these moments where you just hold me… it gives me a feeling of security, you know? I feel safe." Nick smiled and kissed her head.
"Well, I'm glad, I really want you to feel safe - I want to be the one to make you feel safe." Miley smiled and closed her eyes. She listened to Nick's heart beat, ignoring the kids squealing and the other people talking around them. She just wanted to hear the heart beat and that was enough. Just for that day - it was enough.
Then again, it always would be enough. She was sure that she was in love with him. She just wasn't sure if she should put it out there. He could be put into jail and that would break her heart. But then again, maybe it would be better if she just told him and he would either say it back or don't and she'd be happy too. No matter what he felt for her - she was in love with him. And in that moment - actually all those moments - made her fall for him even more.
