AN: I want to thank people for reading and IheartORANGE for being my only reviewer for chapter 9. Sorry I haven't been able to update this in a while. The band names I used are actually song titles, not real bands, at least to my knowledge. ENJOY!
"Hello?"
"Hi Hannah, This is Adam Trumann. I'm James's younger brother and best man. I was thinking that since we're going to be paired for the wedding we should probably get to know each other first. You know, that way it won't be awkward at the wedding and all," He said taking a breathing break.
"Sure"
When they returned to school that Monday new celebrity gossip was floating around the halls. Apparently the headlines were "Hannah's Posse PDA" Miley laughed as snippet's of conversation were being thrown her way.
"They were seen holding hands walking out of a club,"
"I heard that they were caught making out in the alley,"
"I heard that they are engaged and that Lola is pregnant,"
Miley laughed at that one as she walked over to her locker. Not too long after Lilly and Oliver joined her hand in hand.
"So I hear Mike and Lola are the new Brangelina" Oliver commented as he "dialed" the combination to his locker.
"The name is Mikola," Lilly giggled.
The rest of the day rushed on by, and soon the Mikola talk turned into Loliver as the rest of the student body caught on to the newly formed relationship of their fellow classmates. Soon enough the halls were filled with buzz as everyone had something to say.
"They're so cute together,"
"I thought they were dating already,"
"It's about time,"
The gossip lasted all week until every last person had put their two cents in. Other than that the school week went by in a blur. Before they knew it the Friday bell rang signaling the end of the school day and week. The weekend began with a bang as Miley would be meeting Adam that night, and Lilly and Oliver were going on their first date.
So, Miley, as Hannah went out with Adam that weekend, and it was a disaster. It all began when he picked her up in a limo that night that gesture alone signaled to Hannah that he didn't really want to get to know her. Adam didn't even bother to get out and greet her, instead he ordered the driver to open the door for her. Hannah reached the door before the poor driver could make his way around the front of the car. She graciously told the driver that it wasn't necessary as she entered into the backseat. Adam didn't even introduce himself when she did. Hannah wanted to strangle him for his rudeness, but kept in mind that Tracy did warn her. Looking back on that, she laughed causing Adam to give her a questioning glare, which only caused her to laugh harder. In the end both were cracking up for no reason at all.
After the 5 minutes of uncontrollable laughter, Adam began to smarten up and broke the ice further. He introduced himself and began to engage in conversation. Hannah was weary of the change when they pulled up to the restaurant. Upon looking out the tinted windows she recognized it as a Hollywood hot spot. Basically if you want to be seen you go there. Sighing Hannah reached for the door handle only to be stopped by Adam, who had reached his arm across her to pull her hand away. He grasped her hand and kissed it while saying that he would get the door for her. Hannah smiled a small smile as Adam stepped out from his side of the car and made his way over to her side. It took a while because he was making sure the photographers got his good side.
Hannah rolled her eyes before her door opened and Adam thrust his hand in for her to hold. She reluctantly took his offer and let him escort her out of the car. There was more posing outside of the car before they actually made it into the restaurant.
Inside Adam requested a window booth for him and his pop star "date" Hannah was fuming by this point. She caught onto his game. He was using her for publicity. She was planning revenge but decided against it. She wasn't going to humiliate herself just to get back at another Hollywood sleaze ball, plus she wanted to have fun at the wedding and wasn't going to let him spoil it for her.
The night ended in an awkward kiss. Well for Adam it did, as he was leaning in walked away towards the limo. That was where she drew the line. The next day consisted of her venting to Lilly about her horrible night. But that day was brightened with Lilly's retelling of her first real date with Oliver.
Their night began with a concert; they went to support a local band in a battle of the bands. According to Lilly Dirty Little Secret was amazing and totally should have won instead of the whiney girl group, Rag Dolls. She was getting all worked up about it until Miley snapped her out of it.
Lilly then gushed about how Oliver was so sweet, how he knew her so well, and how easy it was to go from the hanging out as friends stage to the hand holding door opening stage.
"He anticipated everything, when it came time to pay the bill he asked if it was alright if he paid for it. He even swallowed his pride and let me pay the tip," Lilly finished dreamily.
"AW! Ok so what else happened, after the Adam fiasco I need all the happiness I can get,"
"Ok well after the concert we went to Chili's and then after that he took me home and that's it but he did ask me out again for tonight for movies at his place," Lilly told Miley.
"But you guys do that all the time, that's not really a date," Miley reasoned.
"Well maybe not for you, but I like it simple. Plus the last time we had a movie night without you was almost two years ago remember?"
"Oh yeah, I guess you're right. Besides it's not like you guys are actually going to watch movies right?" Miley asked suggestively wiggling her eyebrows up and down.
"Wrong again, we decided to take it slow. There is still a tiny amount of awkwardness. Other than homecoming night we haven't kissed again. We can do all the other couple stuff like hold hands, hug, but kissing is a different story. We don't want to be one of those couples who do things because they think it's what they are supposed to do," Lilly explained.
"I get it."
AN: Originally this chapter was supposed to include Tracy's wedding, but upon review I split it into 2 separate chapters. Expect the wedding to be up later tonight or early tomorrow morning. I want to thank everyone for being patient and not sending me hate mail because I wasn't updating. I'm on spring break at the moment, but to my dismay it is nothing like winter break. I actually have work to do!! To be precise, I have a 6-8 minute informative speech due Monday for my communications class, and a math test on that same Monday. I'd skip but I'd rather get it over with sooner rather than later.
Please tell me what you think in a review please!! I've gotten over a thousand hits to this fic, and I personally think it is my best, but I'll never know unless you tell me what you think. If you think it sucks tell me and I'll try to improve it, if you have helpful suggestions don't be afraid to tell me, I don't bite. And especially if you like it let me know PLEASE!
PS. I have a live journal, where I post the pictures of the dresses I use in my fics. Tracy's wedding dress is up and the other dresses I will mention are also up. I put them up a while ago, with the intention of updating this, and then sadly I got writer's block and a bad case of procrastination. The link is in my profile, if you'd like the sneak peak.
