okay as promised this one is longer!! i am very excited...i think that its pretty good. but last chapter i got 1 review!!!! i mean people come on!!! (miley quote... lol) please please review!
disclaimer: don't own miley, oliver, smiley miley, or an ice rink (that would be cool though!)
The door opened slowly revealing a white figure that Oliver momentarily mistook for someone completely different. Miley looked so breathtaking that he couldn't believe that he had known her for so long and had never told her how beautiful she looked. Miley stood in the doorway with an illuminating smile that was brighter than the sun. She truly lived up to her adorable nickname of "Smiley Miley". Even though Oliver didn't make up the nickname, he used it when he was talking to others about her or talking to himself. He was always too embarrassed to use it in front of her though.
He greeted her by saying hello. She replied in the same fashion. Now, these two had said hello to each other countless times before, but for some reason there was much more passion between them this time. His hand expressed all of his thoughts and feelings when it reached out and grabbed Miley's hand. Miley was surprised and enchanted by this gesture. She grinned and happily followed Oliver out of the doorway.
They walked to the ice rink because it was not too far away from her house. Neither of them released their hands the entire way there because they felt so connected by this bond and neither wanted to loose this amazing feeling. They were silent for about three minutes just soaking in the fact that everyone around them most likely thought that they were a couple, which is what both of them secretly and deeply desired.
Miley started the conversation by asking why Oliver chose to go ice skating. Oliver told her that he loved to do it when he was much younger and he hadn't in a very long time. She told him that she wasn't very good at ice skating so he would have to go kind of slow. He told her not to worry and that he would stay by her side the entire time. He also told her that he wouldn't let anything happen to her. Started to laugh unsure if he was joking about what happened yesterday or he was being sweet and sincere.
They arrived at the rink not long after this. After they walked through the door they walked to the skate rental counter. Oliver got himself a size nine and before Miley could say anything he ordered her a size 5 ½. Miley was amazed that he remembered what size shoe she wears. She knew that they were very close friends, but it seemed that there had been so many hints lately that there was something special between them.
They put on there skates and Oliver stood up and started to head for the ice. After just a short moment he noticed that Miley was not following his lead. He turned around in confusion only to find Miley still sitting on the bench struggling to get up. He laughed politely, not in a rude sense, and walked back over to help her stand up. He took her hand once again and pulled her towards him. This would have ended up quite nicely if he wasn't so strong and she wasn't so thin!
The problem was that Oliver pulled so hard to get her up that she went flying towards him and landed in a very awkward position. They were still standing, but they were pressed so near to each other, but the peculiar thing about this is that neither of them felt too uncomfortable. When they were so close everything just seemed in place, like nothing could ever go wrong. Unfortunately, life must go on and so must they. Within the next thirty seconds they slowly spread apart, neither really wanting to, but they knew that they must.
They headed out onto the ice slowly without either saying a word. They were still subconsciously holding hands. The feeling had become so familiar to them that they totally forgot that they were still holding hands. Oliver momentarily let go of her hand to step onto the ice. This is when the both realized that they were, in fact, holding hands. As soon as he was on the ice he extended his hand out to help Miley step onto the ice. She took his and shakily stepped down. Oliver helped her towards the middle of the ice. They skated around the ice once or twice before getting into a deep conversation.
They were having a great time talking about school, Hannah Montana, and even how Lilly and Jackson would probably end up together; that is until Oliver brought up something that he knew and wished that he hadn't. He asked how Jake was doing, totally forgetting that Miley was still hurting from him leaving. At the mention of his name Miley started to tear up. She wasn't as bad as before because she knew that she had Oliver with her now. She still wasn't sure which one she liked more, but right now Oliver was being a really great guy.
Oliver apologized and felt exceptionally bad for mentioning you know who. She told him that it was alright and they got back to their regular conversation. Oliver asked her when Hannah Montana was going on tour again. She told him that it would be over the summer, and if he wanted he could come along because Lilly was going to be in London. He was excided at the thought of spending a few months alone, except for her dad and brother, with Miley. He thought that this would be the perfect time to tell her what he was truly feeling for her.
Oliver said, "Umm…Miley I have something to tell you." Miley asked him what it was. He replied, "Well, you see, there is something that I haven't told you that I have wanted to ever since we met." Miley nodded somewhat confused and concerned. He continued, "What I mean is that Miley…. I-"
At that Miley slipped and nearly crashed right onto her back. If it weren't for Oliver she could have done great damage to her head and spine. Of course, just as promised Oliver came to her rescue and caught her just before she hit the ice. I guess its true that when you are truly in love you have a keen awareness when the one you love is in danger.
Miley was scared to death and slightly embarrassed that she had slipped. This wasn't even the first time that she had fallen in front of Oliver. Oliver asked her if she was alright and she weakly responded that she was fine, just a little shocked. He picked her up and brought her over to the benches just off to the side of the ice. She set her down and went to go get her some ice.
When he got back he held the ice up to her back. She looked into his eyes and he looked into hers. She blushed and asked how it was that he could save her twice in a two day period and how he was so brave. He just blushed and ever so quietly mumbled, "People do crazy things when they're in love." Miley asked, "What did you say," and he quickly replied, "Nothing."
It was then that Miley noticed something scratched onto the bench. It was one of her favorite quotes, "Love is when you look into somebody's eyes and see their heart." This made her think of some of her other favorite quotes such as her very favorite, "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away." It was then that she realized that whenever she thought of either of these quotes she immediately thought of Oliver.
Once most of the ice melted Oliver suggested that they head home so that nothing else happens. Miley laughed and they headed home with their hands interlocked the entire way. When they reached the door Miley said goodbye, gave him a hug, and told him to call her in the morning. Once the door closed Oliver didn't need to wait outside her door. He had finally got up to courage to tell her. He just needed to be able to do it again. He walked home with an enormous smile the entire way. He was thinking about the quote that he saw Miley looking at intently. He swore that the quote was written specifically for him. This was now ingrained into his head for the rest of the night.
"Love is when you look into somebody's eyes and see their heart."
