Chapter 13
Kissing and Telling
"Where have you been Cody?"
"Miley asked me to show her around Boston."
"The Snooze Tour Express?"
"No, we had a great time."
"If it was so great, then spill."
"Okay. Well, first we…" Cody told Zack how they started out at the spot of the Boston Massacre and all the points in between there and the North Church. How they held hands the whole time. How Miley talk about growing up in Tennessee. How he told Miley what it was like growing up in a hotel. About their different friends. What some of their dreams where. How on the walk back to the hotel, they got picked up by the carriage and how they cuddled under the blanket to stay warm.
"Then at her door, she gave me a hug and kissed me on the cheek."
"Cody, Cody, Cody. When will you learn that you can't keep up with me when it comes to girls."
"What are you talking about Zack?"
Zack proceeded to tell Cody about his date with Lilly. About how Lilly was as good at skateboarding as he is. He described some of the tricks she did and how hard they were to learn. How he had kissed her on the cheek in the elevator. That they held hands to and from McD's and that Lilly had kissed him on the lips at the end of the date.
"And that is why, I'm the girls man and you will sadly be in second place."
-------------------------------------------------
"How your date with Maddie go Jackson?"
"Think I'll move to Boston."
"Was it that good? Did you kiss? Come on spill!"
Jackson kick his shoes off, pulled off his shirt and plopped down on his bed. He put his hands behind his head on the pillow and proceeded to tell Oliver all about the date. Oliver hang on every word to see if there was any pointer he might pick up from Jackson's narrative.
"When we got to the penthouse, we said good night to each other and she went in to spend the night with London. I came down here and you sweated me for the details. Anything else?"
"You didn't kiss her?"
"Oliver, you never kiss a girl that doesn't want to be kiss."
"How do you know the difference?"
"It's in their eyes and on their lips."
"Huh?"
"Well that there seems to be the problem. It looks different on every girl. And if you read it right, you get a great kiss."
"What happens when you read it wrong?"
"Then you better be good at ducking."
"Oooh. Well tell me!"
"Tell you what?"
"If you read it right."
"You see any hand prints on my face?"
"Jackson, you're my hero!"
-------------------------------------------------
"Where have you been Miley?"
"Cody was showing me around Boston. How was your date with Zack?"
"Well if I must say so, he is one awesome skateboarder. Not as good as me, but with more practice, he could be."
"Wow! I never heard you say that about a boy before Lilly."
"Did any thing else happen?"
"Like what?" Lilly looked away from Miley.
"Come on…"
"Come on what Miley?"
"Do you…kiss him?"
"Why would you ask that?" Lilly still avoided making eye contact.
"Lilly…look at me…Lilly…in the eyes…now tell me again."
Lilly broke down.
"Okay, I kissed him."
"YES! I knew it! Now, was it on the lips?"
Lilly looked away again.
"I knew it!"
"Okay, Miley. You win. I kissed him on the lips. There, happy now?"
Miley tilted her head and acted like she was hearing something.
"Yes."
"Now that you have raked me over the coals, it's your turn!"
"What are you talking about?"
"Well, you've been gone for five hours. You're telling me nothing happen?"
"There's nothing to tell Lilly." Miley tried to sound causal.
Lilly jumped up, grabbed Miley and sat her down in a chair. Next she got a lamp and set it by Miley. Lilly tilted the shade so the bottom pointed at Miley. Then in a very bad German accent, she started to drill Miley.
"Ve have vays of making you talk. So talk!"
"No. You can torture me all you want, but I will not talk!" Miley tried to sound serious.
"So, you von't talk vell you? Take this and this!" Lilly pretends to slap Miley. Miley reacts like she was hit.
"Never!"
"You leave me vith no choice then." She turns around and acts like she picks up a box and holds in front of Miley's face.
"See this?"
"No." Miley laughs.
"Oh, you think this funny? Vell, in this box is the dreaded tickle bees."
"Tickle bees? What's that?"
"Bees that tickle. And you vill talk or vet your pants laughing. Vhat vill it be?"
"Oh no! Not that!" Miley is laughing harder. "I'll talk, I'll talk."
"Ah, the dreaded tickle bees vork every time."
Miley proceeded to tell Lilly all about the as she dared to put it date. Lilly asked about every detail until she was happy with the answers.
"Then we got into the carriage. There was a blanket there to help keep us warm."
"Did you both get under the blanket together?"
"There was only one blanket."
"What did Cody do?"
"If you mean, did he put his arms around me and I cuddled up to him. The answer is yes."
"I knew it. Did you put your head on his shoulder?"
"Yes, and he put his head on mine."
"Awww….What happen when you got back here?"
"We hugged for a long time. Then I kissed him on the cheek."
"She shots and she scores!"
-------------------------------------------------
"Oh London, it was the most perfect date I have ever been on!"
Maddie told London every detail about the date not leaving anything out.
"Sounds like you really like him."
"Yeah I guess I do. The only problem is that he's leaving tomorrow."
"Well, you still have your date tomorrow. Do you think he likes you?"
"After that kiss, oh yeah."
"To bad he lives in Malibu."
"To bad…" Maddie agreed.
