The new couple swayed around on the dance floor, not really caring about the looks they got. They didn't even stay in rhythm with the music - they just danced around in each other's arms. And nothing else mattered when situated right there.
Miley pulled her head back and looked at Nick. He smiled down at her and kissed her lips ever so gently. Miley smiled too and sighed happily. She loved this evening and she knew, nothing could change her mood… or maybe it could. She only then remembered that she was supposed to leave the next day. Miley frowned.
This didn't go unnoticed by Nick who had been staring at her while the saddening thoughts raced through Miley's mind. He put a strand of hair behind her ear and looked into her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Miley bit her lip and sighed. She didn't really want to destroy the mood they were in but they had to talk about it once. And it had to happen soon too.
"It's just… I have a plane ticket to New York. And the plane is supposed to leave tomorrow. But I kind of don't want to leave anymore because a boyfriend of mine is here." Nick chuckled and kissed Miley's cheek.
"Then don't leave. Easy as that." Miley sighed and shook her head.
"It's not as easy as that. I can't stay here! My sister hates me, my mother ignores me and… I just can't stay in that house anymore." Miley put her head onto Nick's chest. She hugged him tightly, trying to get the tears out of her eyes.
Nick put his head on top of Miley's. He knew she was right. She really couldn't stay in that house any longer, not with Trish and Alex acting so mean towards her. He had to do something to get her to stay. He looked around the room aimlessly, looking for a sign. Nothing really helped. That was until his eyes settled back on Miley. He stared at her for a minute until he smiled brightly.
"Then sleep at my place for the rest of the summer!" Miley's head snapped up and she just stared at Nick shocked. Did he really suggest something like this? They haven't even been together for that long! How could he want her to stay at his place?
"Nick… we don't… I can't - what if something…" Nick chuckled and put his hands on either side of Miley's head. Miley stopped shaking her head and looked at Nick with big eyes.
"You can, Miley. Nothing will happen. We're going to figure something out, alright? But I really don't want you to leave! Not after tonight. I didn't even want you to leave before tonight happened. We won't do anything stupid, alright? Please just… tell me that you'll stay." He quoted his own song with a hint of playfulness. Miley chuckled and shook her head. She leaned up and kissed Nick softly before she replied.
"Fine, I'll stay." Nick hugged her tightly. Miley giggled when he kissed her up and down her neck and jaw line. He then let go of her and pulled her over to the bar. Demi and Joe were talking and laughing when they saw the two come over. Demi grinned at their intertwined hands. She was still more than happy for her two best friends.
"Hey, love birds!" Miley blushed as Nick rolled his eyes. He put an arm around Miley and let her hid her head in Nick's chest. Demi giggled. Joe shook his head and looked at Nick questioningly.
"What's up dude?" Nick grinned brightly.
"We're leaving now, alright? Oh and, you're not leaving tomorrow." Joe and Demi stared at Nick confused. Miley pulled her head back and smiled.
"Let's stay here until summer is over. I really don't want to leave now. I just want to leave the house. And that is where Nick comes in." Nick nodded.
"Yup, Miley will be staying with me from now on. We're getting her things later and…" Miley looked at Nick confused.
"We are?" Nick chuckled and nodded.
"Yup, we are. And I thought that maybe Demi could stay at Joe's for the rest of the summer?" Demi quickly looked at Joe beaming. He nodded. Demi hugged Joe. Then she went on to hug Nick; ending her hug she leapt forward and squeezed Miley tightly.
"I love you, bestie, you know that, right?" Miley nodded.
"Yeah, love you too, Dems." The two best friends pulled apart and smiled at each other before Nick grabbed Miley's hand and walked out of the club with her. Miley leaned her head onto his shoulder and sighed happily. She looked up at Nick to find him staring down at her.
"What?" Miley shrugged and closed her eyes for a split second. Then she smiled brightly.
"Nothing, I just never would have guess that this all would happen today - tonight. A few hours ago I was crying and packing the rest of my stuff and now you're my boyfriend and I'm practically moving in with you for the summer. And we love each other and we're happy. It's all so surreal to me." Nick smiled as Miley said 'my boyfriend'. He would probably never stop getting butterflies in his stomach by only hearing her say that.
"Yeah, we are happy, aren't we?" Miley smiled and nodded. Everything's perfect, she thought as the couple got into Nick's car. Miley grinned and grabbed Nick's hand once he sat next to her. He intertwined their fingers and kissed the back of her hand before driving off to his house.
"Have you ever been like this with Alex?" Nick glanced at Miley confused. Where was this coming from?
"What do you mean?" Miley sighed and played with Nick's fingers. He couldn't help but smile a bit at how cute she looked.
"I mean… I don't want to ruin the mood and all… but have you ever been like this, you know all lovey-dovey and sweet with her? Like you are to me, I mean." Nick worriedly glanced at Miley for a split second before he cleared his throat. This would be awkward, he knew it.
"Well… at first I guess. I tried to… uhm, to get her because… I liked her I guess. But after she agreed to go out with me I stopped being cute and all that." Miley frowned when Nick admitted that he liked Alex. Yeah, it was common sense since she was his girlfriend so he had to like her, but it still got Miley frowning.
Nick sensed Miley's now sadder mood and quickly kissed her hand again. He smiled at her reassuringly.
"But I didn't like her even close to as much as I like you. Well, I love you and I didn't love her so…" Miley smiled a little and leaned over, putting her head onto Nick's shoulder. As uncomfortable as it was, she wouldn't have it any other way.
"Hey, you just missed the…" Nick shook his head.
"Nope, I didn't. I decided we should only get your things tomorrow. I'm too tired to carry all of your things out of your room." Miley chuckled and nodded.
"Yup, you're right. Have you ever seen how many books I own?" Nick thought back to the one time he was standing in front of Miley's room, talking to her. He chuckled and nodded.
"Actually, I have. Remember that one time I went to your room and stood in your door… we fought that time and I saw your books. Oh my god, do we really have to carry them around?" Miley nodded and tried her hardest to look as serious as possible. But she burst out laughing after she saw Nick's face.
"No, we don't. We can sort them out tomorrow." Nick nodded relieved. He really didn't feel like trying to carry all those books from her house to his.
"Thank god. Why do you read so much anyway?" Miley shrugged and looked out of the window. Nick rubbed the back of Miley's hand softly while they finally arrived at his house. This was the first time Miley ever even saw it from the outside. And to say she liked it was an understatement.
She always thought that Nick wasn't that wealthy since he was working at a bar. But his house was almost the size of a mansion. Miley stared at the house in awe. She looked it up and down and then she looked at Nick. He smirked in her direction and grabbed her hand as Miley finally stepped out of the house.
"Didn't expect that, did ya?" Miley shook her head slowly. She was amazed by the size of the house, she couldn't hide that fact. She blushed and shook her head.
"No, I didn't! You never told me you were rich!" Nick chuckled and walked up the long driveway with Miley. He unlocked the front door and let Miley in. All he earned when Miley entered the big house was a loud gasp. She turned around and stared at him.
"It's so beautiful here!" Nick smiled and kissed Miley's forehead as she admired the house.
"Well, not nearly as beautiful as you, but as close as it can get." Miley blushed and turned away from Nick. She couldn't believe that he got her blushing like that. Of course, no guy has ever had this affect on her other than Nick. And she just had to blush now, didn't she? Gathering her thoughts together, she turned back around to look at Nick questioningly.
"Well, how come you're so rich?" Nick rolled his eyes playfully as he dragged Miley into the living room. He sat down onto the couch, pulling Miley down on top of him making her sit on his lap. Miley blushed again as Nick wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Well, my parents kind of own this huge news paper. I don't know if you've heard of it. The In-Life. It's this gossip kind of news paper. My mother encouraged my dad to do it and he agreed. He just can't say no to momma's puppy dog face." Miley stared at Nick shocked. They own her favorite magazine? No way, she thought, this must be a dream.
"Are you kidding me?! You're parents own… oh my god!" She squealed and hugged Nick tightly. Then she let go off him embarrassed. Nick chuckled and rubbed her back.
"So you did hear of it, I assume?" Miley blushed and nodded embarrassed. She buried her head in the crook of Nick's neck. He laughed and pulled Miley closer to himself.
"It's okay thought. Everyone's heard of it. I just wanted to be independent for once in my life. You know, they always gave me money and I feel bad for it. Now I want to make my own money - with what, either the job at the bar or with music doesn't matter. I just don't want my parents spending any more money on me." Miley smiled brightly at Nick. She kissed his cheek quickly.
"I think that's nice of you - brave too. I mean, I think I could do that too, but I don't know… since I'm kind of alone right now I think I have too, right? And then there's college and all… gosh, I sound like a little kid." Nick shook his head.
"No, you don't. And you're not alone. You have Demi and Joe… and most importantly you have me. I'll be there for you whenever you need anything, alright? And I think you always have been independent. You just always stood back from the spotlight, didn't you? But that's okay, because in order to do that, you have to be braver than me or anyone else. You are the strongest person I know, Miles, and you are not alone. Not anymore." Miley smiled a tearful smile and put her head onto Nick's shoulder.
"Thank you, Nicky. I think I needed to hear that." Nick smiled and kissed Miley's head.
"Yeah, you did…" Miley gasped playfully and hit Nick's chest. She loved how his abs felt under her hand. That thought got her blushing, but she managed to stop herself from blushing a deep red. Her cheeks only were rosy.
"But… that's what I'm here for. To make you feel worth it. Because you are, baby. You are worth the world to at least three people on this planet. And you're worth my life to me. I love you and I hope you know that." Miley smiled at Nick and nodded. She slowly leaned forward and kissed Nick gently.
Nick kissed her back, leaning a little more into the kiss, deepening it. He ran his tongue across Miley's bottom lip, asking for entrance which she granted the second he asked. Their tongues battled for dominance, though Nick won and he explored Miley's mouth.
Miley moaned quietly and shifted on Nick's lap, putting her legs on either side of Nick's body. Nick groaned at the contact and put his hands on Miley's waist as she slowly and unconsciously ground on Nick.
Suddenly feeling something poke her from beneath, Miley pulled back and looked down. She then quickly looked up and looked at a blushing Nick whose face might have matched Miley's face color. They were both blushing a deep red. But Nick was more embarrassed than Miley. He just…? He groaned as he realized Miley was still seated on top of him, shaking with laughter.
The shaking only got her rubbing on him even more, not really helping the situation. He tried to push her off him gently, not trying to hurt her feelings. But Miley noticed that he started pushing her off so she stopped laughing and slid off his lap. Feeling rejected, she looked everywhere but Nick and tried to push back her tears.
She hated being rejected - she had to live though it a lot in her life. But being rejected by your boyfriend was something she had never lived through before. And now that she knew she loved him it hurt even more to know that he just rejected her. She quickly wiped a tear away that did escape her eye.
That didn't go unnoticed by Nick. He looked at Miley alarmed. Not even bothering to put a pillow over his erected member, he pulled Miley back on his lap, ignoring his inner self which was screaming for him to just take her right on the couch. He hugged Miley tightly without knowing what he was doing or why he was doing it.
Miley buried her head in his shoulder. She was so embarrassed for thinking Nick didn't want her it was almost unbelievable. Nick rubbed her back. He kissed her ear softly.
"What's wrong, Miles?" Miley pulled her head back pouting and shook her head.
"Nothing… It's okay. I'm being stupid. Anyway, I'm really tired, can we… go to sleep?" Nick smiled at Miley and nodded. Anything for you, he thought. But Miley didn't move. She didn't make any effort to get up. All she did was stay seated on Nick's lap and look at Nick, waiting for him to do something. He chuckled.
"You want me to carry you, don't you?" Miley nodded like a little kid and giggled as Nick got up and walked them over to the stairs. He looked at Miley questioningly. She just nodded and put her head on his shoulder. She was a little… high, you could say. This night has been nothing but great for her and she was on cloud nine.
Nick walked up the stairs without complaining. If Miley asked him to run around the world, he would. It would take him a long time, but he would really do anything for her. And carrying her upstairs is nothing to him - she weighs nothing too. He kissed Miley's neck as he sat her down on his bed. Miley looked at him smiling.
She leaned back and let herself lay on his bed. Nick plopped down next to her, immediately wrapping an arm around her. They had some time to make up. They wasted about four weeks not even talking to each other and they couldn't have that.
Miley snuggled into Nick's side. She sighed. This was heaven to her. Nothing would change her mood anymore. Not even going home the next day to get her things. Or…
"Nicky…" Nick looked at Miley as she whimpered. Oh no, he thought, she regrets it.
"What?" He sat up, pulling Miley along with him and leaned against the headboard. He rubbed Miley's arm comfortingly. Miley pouted a little as she looked at him.
"I'm scared…" Her voice only came out as a whisper which concerned Nick. She was smiling just a minute ago, what changed her mind?
"Of what?" Miley gulped and pushed back the tears that were starting to form in her eyes.
"Of going home tomorrow." Nick let out a relieved sigh and kissed Miley's head. Miley looked at him confused.
"Why are you happy?! This isn't something to be happy about! I'm scared of going home! I'm scared that my own mother won't care enough about me to beg me to stay with her! And Alex…" Nick silenced Miley with his finger.
"We're going to talk to her, alright? We're telling her the truth, no matter what Alex says or wants. She lied this whole time and you went along with it. Let Alex deal with the crap you got all those years…" Miley sighed and nodded. Nick smiled slightly and kissed Miley's forehead again. Miley snuggled back into Nick's sighed. But then, she looked at him again.
"I need something to sleep in." Nick nodded and got up. He walked to his dresser and pulled out some sweatpants and a shirt that didn't fit him anymore. He thought Miley might fit into it - but he knew she wouldn't.
Miley grabbed the things and walked into the bathroom after Nick showed her the way. She quickly changed into Nick's things and looked into the mirror. She was glowing… and she liked it. Smiling at her reflection, she licked her teeth and walked out of the bathroom.
Nick was already lying on his bed, waiting for Miley. He threw the shirt off and pulled his pants off as well, leaving him in nothing but his boxers. One hand was behind his head while the other one was lying on his stomach loosely. Miley blushed a bit when Nick smirked. She was swimming in his clothes.
"You look good in my clothes." Miley rolled her eyes though she was still blushing. She looked around the room shyly, not sure where to go. Should she go over to his bed or sleep on the floor? Couldn't he just say anything?
Nick noticed that Miley didn't move towards him nor was she moving anywhere else. He looked at her confused. What was she doing? He chuckled confused.
"What are you doing, Miles?" Miley stood there and shook her head.
"What am I doing? I'm thinking about where I should sleep." Nick looked at her confused. He pointed at his bed.
"Well, how about here? Where else would you sleep?" Miley looked at Nick flustered.
"Well, but we… we only got together today!! We can't sleep together… I mean, in a bed together." Nick shook his head and grabbed Miley's hand. He pulled her onto the bed and put an arm around her. Miley sighed reluctantly and snuggled into his side.
"So? We only got together today, but we know we would've gotten together a few weeks ago if all that stuff hadn't happened." Miley shrugged. Nick kissed Miley's head.
"Maybe you're right. But…" Nick shook his head.
"No buts… Now go to sleep, my love. We're going to have a really exhausting day tomorrow." They slipped down under the blankets and cuddled together. Miley dug her head into Nick's shoulder. He wrapped his strong arms around her and kissed her head one last time before they both fell into a deep slumber.
Both dreamt the same that night. They dreamt of their future, what was to come. The happy times and the times that might get harder for them. But they knew that all the bad times that would come would not be anything like the ones that they already lived through. They would never let each other go, not for the world.
So Miley's staying :) Yeah, the story isn't over yet :P I knew somebody would think it was over but it isn't. There are still some problems going on, right? I mean, Alex and Trish… and then the end of the summer.
