Within moments, Nick's mouth met hers and they moved together in sync. Miley gently released her grip from his arms and moved her hands towards his neck as he wrapped her into a tighter embrace. He took the initiative and gently swiped his tongue on her bottom lip, asking for entrance and luckily she obliged.
Their tongues were swept into their own world as they met each other. They embraced, they talked, and they danced, getting lost within the quick minutes. It was not until Mr. Platt let out a low cough that Miley pulled away. Nick's arms were still around her as they turned towards their instructor.
"Now, that's a kiss," he directed his lecture towards the audience. Miley could suddenly feel everyone's eyes glued onto the couple. Her cheeks warmed up and she gently pushed Nick away. He stumbled off of her and dug his hands in his pockets as he ducked back to his seat. She trailed after him and quietly sat down.
Demi and Sterling went up after they took their seats. Miley trained her eyes on her friend and tried avoiding Nick's frantic glances over at her. She gulped down the memory of the kiss and quickly snatched her phone. She had to tell Emily what had happened.
It was then that she saw she already had a message. On the glossy screen, Joe's number popped up. Miley rolled her eyes and opened up the text message quickly.
Everything set up?-Joe. Miley replied with agitation and opened up a fresh new text to Emily. Her fingers skimmed over the clean keyboard and she expressed the confusion she was currently feeling.
I just kissed Nick…stage kiss, but it was a kiss /=-Milerzzzz. She stuffed her phone in her back pocket of the dress and looked up to see Demi and Sterling separate from their kiss. Mr. Platt made a couple of comments and the two made their way down the stage again.
"Miley," Nick turned to her to get her attention, but she was already standing up ready to grab her bag. "Wait up!" She paused and grabbed her phone as it vibrated, signaling Nick to stand still.
Miley?-Joe. Yet another text from Joe- she groaned as she realized he would incessantly nag her until this whole thing blows over.
Working on it -_- -Miley. She let out a frustrated sigh as she sent the text. She looked up to see Nick quietly waiting for her. By now, everyone had exited the auditorium and cleared out their stuff.
"What do you want," she snapped accidentally. She didn't mean to let her annoyance seep into another brother. Nick raised his eyebrows in a cocky fashion
"Someone's a little feisty," he joked. She gave him an annoyed smirk and turned her back towards him, walking out of the theater. "Where are you going?"
"Drama room," she answered automatically. She tiptoed intp the hall looking different directions as though she was looking for someone.
"Well, I thought maybe we can run lines in the near future or something?" Nick prodded along as he caught up to her. She was walking in a fast pace and it was hard to keep up with her as she was so determined to keep up the speed. "Are you looking for someone?" he huffed out getting clearly out of breath.
Miley picked up a light jog and turned the corner towards the lockers. She pressed her weight on her toes as she lifted herself up to see the hallway a bit clearly.
"Uh, not really," she said with some distraction. She looked at Nick in a light haze and her eyes darted their way down to his lips. She was lost in a moment of thought until she shook her head. "What were you saying?"
"We should probably get married since you took away my lip virginity," he answered without skipping a bit. She glared at him and walked right past him.
"Loser. Seriously, what were you saying?" she asked, pushing through the drama room door. She went towards the corner and grabbed a rolled up banner that was neatly tucked away in the back.
"We should run lines together soon," he replied. She nodded her head absentmindedly and started tugging the rubber band off the rolled up bundle. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing," she whipped her head in his direction and focused her energy on him. "Sorry, I'm listening this time." Her phone sounded off right on cue and she sighed. "Just give me a second. This is important."
"I'm trying to tell you something," he grabbed her arm and tugged her towards him. Miley was utterly confused as his frustration sputtered out.
"What Nick? I heard you…we need to run lines," she responded. He was egging her closer and their bodies didn't have much space between them.
"Not that. I need to say something else," he looked down as though he was being weighed down by a big secret. He looked at her long tan legs and shut his eyes, closing himself off to temptation. "The kiss," he began and looked up into her eyes so he wouldn't get distracted by the rest of her body.
"What about it," she stuttered as she met him in the eyes. Nick's breathing got harder and he suddenly looked so flushed.
"It was-," but before he could get anything out, the drama door opened and Nick sighed. He hated being interrupted- especially when he was finally getting the courage to say something.
"Why are you guys still here?" Demi said as she walked in. She looked pointedly at Nick's arm that gently gripped Miley's slender fingers.
"Demi could you give us a moment?" Nick asked rather harshly. His words cut through the air with anxiety. He was eager to get his feelings out and Demi had interrupted the perfect moment.
"No!" Miley shouted almost too eagerly. Demi eyed her suspiciously and Nick's face fell a couple of notches. She shot him an apologetic look and hoped he would understand. "I just need to talk to Demi," she explained.
"Miley," Demi warned. "I thought we agreed to talk about this later," she shot Miley a glance. The brunette completely ignored her friend and pranced towards the girl.
"No, not that. I was just wondering…if…you could give me acting tips." There was something in Miley's voice that made this whole situation comical, but Demi couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"You don't need acting tips, Miley," she said with a strained voice. She rolled her eyes and shot a confused glance towards Nick who didn't seem to know what was wrong with the brunette either.
"Yes, I do," Miley shot back- her voice a little higher than it was before. She grinned at Demi in a sort of maniacal fashion. "And singing help," she added as an afterthought. Demi narrowed in her gaze at the girl and tilted an eyebrow. Miley's phone sounded off again and the brunette pulled it out without a thought.
"On a second thought," Miley gasped as she glanced at her phone. "You know time is such a valuable thing these days. I'll just go..." she trailed awkwardly. She gave Nick a glance and grabbed the poster that she had been looking at earlier.
"You're really off today, Miley," Demi commented, turning her back on the duo and heading straight towards Mr. Platt's desk. Miley didn't waste a second as she tugged the rubber band off the poster and sent a quick text from her phone. She handed Nick one side of the banner and tugged it out, facing Demi. "I mean seriously," Demi turned around in thought and her eyes widened at the sight.
Nick looked down at the poster to see exactly what Miley had gotten him into. His eyes skimmed over the words- Will you go to prom with me?
"You're asking her to prom?" Nick asked in confusion. Miley shook her head in laughter and he came back to his senses as he heard the drama room door open behind him. He shifted his eyes at Demi who had her jaw hanging down. He tilted his body to get a good look at Joe, who was holding a nice bouquet of roses.
"Hey, Dems," Joe quietly stated. He stood awkwardly at the door. It was after a moment of silence that Joe took initiative and walked past Nick and Miley towards Demi. "I know I made a huge mistake, but I have tried apologizing for it over and over again. I was drunk and that still isn't an excuse, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes. I'm not saying forgive me right now but just uh, start letting me make it up to you," it seemed as though he let it all out in one breath. "Let's just go as friends," he added to reduce her confusion.
"Yeah, sure," Demi replied after moments of thought. She gave him a small smile and a light hug before taking the flowers. "Only as friends," she warned. He nodded, fully understanding what that statement entailed.
Miley started rolling up the poster as she began from her side and met Nick. He grabbed her arm before she could take his side of the poster and steadily gazed into her eyes.
"Will you go to prom with me?" he asked- completely dead serious.
