Chapter 13

Wishes

Weeks passed by and soon we were almost reaching our second month of being a couple. We became exceptionally close and my feelings for him definitely grew. I was almost close to admitting that I love him, well I admitted to myself just now, but I feel like I have to tell him.

Jake and I were hanging out, cuddling in the basement of his house watching a movie. We were under a blanket, on the couch with me sitting between his legs, his chin on my shoulder with his arms around me.

I've never been this close to a guy before, but with Jake, it just feels different; normal. I'm thinking that the only reason why it felt different was because the more we hung out, the more I felt comfortable with him. Almost as comfortable as telling him my secret.

Throughout dating him, I found out that we had more things in common rather than just being famous and known. We like the same numbers, we like a lot of the same bands, it's interesting. We just click and I really like that about our relationship.

I really like him, and I may even actually love him. Sounds really corny, but I think that this relationship could work out if we keep it like this. I don't know yet though, people said that it might just be puppy love and I don't want to say that I am something that I'm not.

"Jake?" I whispered, slightly turning my head to him.

"Yeah?" He asked and lifted his head from my shoulder, kissing my temple.

I moved down, shifting my body, leaning my head on his chest, and snaked my arms around his waist.

"I'm tired." I smiled, breathing in, taking in his scent.

"Don't sleep, the movie is almost over." He chuckled and put his hand up, stroking my hair.

I looked up at him and he smiled at me, soon leaning down for a kiss. I kissed him back, tilting my head upward and he held my head in place.

A kiss, which felt like lasted a lifetime, soon ended when the door to the basement opened.

"Jakey?" I heard the person say, and I pushed myself off of Jake, falling to the floor.

"Mom?" Jake replied, sitting up from his position and looked over the couch that was blocking us from the door.

"No you dork, its Caitlyn." She replied and flipped on the switch to turn on the light.

I got up from the ground, dusting my clothes off and looked at the girl, walking into the room and sat down next to Jake.

"Ohh, you must be one of Jake's girlfriends." She said a stuck out her hand at me.

"Hey." I smiled and shook it, sitting down next to her.

"Yeah, Miley this is my sister Caity." Jake said and nodded at his sister.

"You're Miley? Wow, so you're the girl he's been obsessing about." She smirked and looked at me, studying me.

"No I'm not, shut up Caity." He said and glared at her.

"You know, Jake has told me a lot about you." She started and raised an eyebrow.

"Really, like what?" I asked and stared at her. She smiled and sat on her legs, facing me.

"Like how you're so pretty and how nice you are and how much he cares about you. He even says you have a nice b-"

"Let's go outside Miley, Caitlyn has some things she wants to do here." Jake said loudly over Caitlyn's voice and stood up. He took my hand, pulling me up and started off toward the door.

"Bye you guys, have fun and don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Caitlyn taunted and I laughed.

Jake looked completely embarrassed and dragged me up the stairs.

"Relax Jake, don't need to be ashamed." I said and he slowed down turning his head at me.

"It's just embarrassing, you know?" He said and stopped walking, leaning against the wall. He still held onto my hand and I laughed.

"Well, look at my brother, at least your sister has the decency to not draw on her stomach to make weird faces on them." I smiled and it was his turn to laugh.

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

We stayed quiet and stared at each other for a moment just admiring each other.

"Thank you Miley." He said and I looked at him, slightly confused.

"Why?" I asked and he shrugged.

"Well, you showed me things I've never seen before, or felt and I really like it. These past two months have really meant something for me and I love you for doing that." He blushed and I smiled, feeling my chest pounding hard with my ears only hearing the sound of my heart beat. Every time he says something like this, I just feel completely overwhelmed and it really makes me feel appreciated. And for some reason, it sounded like the song, my song, is affecting him too.

"I know you do and I…" I started and pursed my lips, looking down. I couldn't get myself to say it, so I looked at him and simply placed my lips over him, giving him a sweet kiss.

"Thank you." I whispered and he sighed.

"I know." He said taking my hand and smiled at me, pulling me to out of the hallway and toward the back of his house.

"What are we going to do?" I whispered and he chuckled shaking his head. We reached the middle of his yard; he dropped my hand and sat down on the ground. I stared at him and he motioned him to come and sit down next to him.

"What?" I asked, slightly confused and he lay down on his back, putting his hands behind his head.

"Just relax. I do this at night when I'm bored." He patted his spot next to me.

"Lie down with me." He smiled and I shook my head.

"I swear that you're the weirdest person I know." I lay down next to me and he took my hand. "Why are we doing this?"

"Just look at the stars, nice view, duhh." He said in a joking way and I smacked his shoulder.

I stopped talking and looked up at the stars. I started to relax and saw a bright star. It kind of reminded me of when I used to live back in Tennessee. I used to stay like this with my old friends and we'd just talk about things. I can't believe I forgot my old best friends back in Tennessee, wow, everything has changed since then. I sighed, feeling a little sad and closed my eyes.

"What's on your mind?" Jake asked giving my hand a light squeeze.

I opened my eyes and looked at Jake as he smiled at me. I looked back up at the stars and watched them, waiting for something to happen.

"Tennessee."

"You must miss it there."

"Yeah, I do." I smiled. "But if I stayed there and didn't move, then I wouldn't have met you."

"I figured, I am the hottest boy in the world." He sarcastically said and lifted my hand to his lips, kissing it.

I shook my head and we stayed quiet for a bit. This spot is kind of like something you do when you're bored or when you needed to think. Now it makes me think how much times Jake came here just to think about me.

I blushed and looked the other way, hoping that Jake didn't see me. Thinking things like this makes me feel conceded and it's just weird.

"I want to travel around the world."

"Well, why not? You're famous and almost all famous people travel around the world once." I looked at him and he closed his eyes, looking tired.

"No, I just want to travel by myself or with a friend and not just for work. It would be even more fun with a friend, relaxing and traveling with a friend." He sighed dreamily and smiled.

"Yeah, I know what you mean, I would love to travel around the world and see Europe."

"Really?" He asked and looked at me.

"Yeah." I nodded. "I really want to go to London or something. It would be cool."

"Me too… We should travel together; just me and you." He suddenly says and I looked at him, a little surprised at it.

"What…?"

"Yeah, it would be fun. Miley, promise me that you and I would travel around the world together." He turned to me with a smile on his face.

"Sure. I'll travel around the world with you; It looks like fun." I said, but I knew that it would never happen. Promises like this always break easily and that would be asking too much if it did actually come true.

"Yeah, Europe could be our first main goal to go travel around. That would be fun."

I smiled never dreamed of a day that he would come and sweep me off my feet when it's like every single day he's doing that. He definitely knows how to treat a girl with respect and he is the sweetest guy out there. He's amazing and I would love to meet someone like Jake when I grow older. To think that I missed out on this feeling just really makes me want to hate myself.

"Yeah, that would be fun." I finally said, looking back up at the stars and saw the one star, which to me, stood out. I closed my eyes and started to wish; wish for something in the future that would happen like this.

A/N Okay, hope you liked this chapter :D Hope it wasn't too corny or boring!
