Ch 9
The next few days were the best of the entire trip. Miley's plans had gone as expected, especially the "boyfriend part". Everyone seemed happy, except Jackson. He was slumping around, not in the mood to do anything.
It was their last night in Hawaii, and everyone was going to an outdoor, on-the-beach restaurant.
"Jackson! Are you coming? Cause' we're dying of starvation out here!" Miley screamed into Jackson's room. She waited two minutes and then left with everyone else when Jackson didn't respond. Inside, Jackson was laying on his white, fluffy bed thinking about Callie. He only had one chance left to ask her out, and for some reason, he was scared to. He didn't understand it. He had hit on and flirted with every girl that walked by Rico's, where he worked, but now, he couldn't even think of anything to say to Callie. He suddenly got an urge to ask her out right then and there, so he grabbed his room key, his wallet and ran out the door to Callie's room.

Miley, Oliver, Lily and Robbie were sitting at a cute, white table for four on a wooden deck, listening to the waves crash against the white sand. They had already ordered and had their drinks were on the table. Lily was sipping hers so that it made a loud slurping sound. Robbie had to pull the cup away from her because people were starting to stare. Under the table, Miley and Oliver were holding hands and playing footsie with each other.
The food came on a huge tray and everyone started to eat. Smoke rose up from Oliver's plate.
"Oliver, what did you get? It smells really…um…hot…" Miley took her hand and waved the smoke away.
"It's not the food that's smokin' hot—it's me! Smokin' Oken!" Oliver looked around and no one laughed except Miley. The four talked about everything and laughed about their vacation. Before they knew it, it was nine o'clock and the mosquitoes were biting everyone.
When Robbie and Lily went back to the hotel, Oliver and Miley walked onto the beach. The still held hands, but now Miley laid her head on Oliver's shoulder.
"Oliver, I'm so glad I told you how I felt. I was nervous because, well, I thought you liked Lily. And that would definitely ruin our friendship!" Miley let out a soft laugh and looked at Oliver.
"I'll be honest with you. Before you moved here, I did like Lily. But then she went out with this kid Ryan, and I realized we are best off being friends. And then you came, and everything got so confusing. But thanks to you, I know who I like." Oliver cupped Miley's face in his hands and kissed her. Whenever he kissed Miley, she felt like the rest of the world was paused and they were the only two people on the beach. They walked back to the hotel, knowing there was a special someone who cared for them greatly.

Jackson stood outside Callie's presidential suite, thinking how to tell her this. He was about to know, when the door opened and Callie jumped when she saw Jackson.
"Jackson! Hi! What are you doing here?"
"I'm on vacation with my sister and her friends, remember?" Jackson smiled.
"I mean, outside of my room?"
"Well, I, um I needed to ask you something. Can we, go in you room?" Callie led Jackson into the hugest hotel room he had ever seen. He wondered why they didn't get a bigger room. The ceiling was engraved with palm trees and clouds. The king size bed had an endless amount of huge, fluffy pillows that matched the lavender bedspread. There was a kitchen and a full bathroom that reminded Jackson of a spa instead of a bathroom, and a living room with a plasma television. He stood in amazement as Callie watched him.
"So, you needed to ask me something?" Callie interrupted Jackson's daydreaming.
"Yeah, I did. Two things actually. When I met you on the plane, you didn't seem to like me. I was so confused when you started flirting with me and keeping me company when I did things. Do you like me? Or are we just friends?" Jackson paused to let Callie answer, but started talking before she could say anything. "Wait, don't answer that! Why were you suddenly nice to me after the plane ride?"
"I was asking myself that. I guess I just got really nervous because, well…I never had a boyfriend before, and you were really cute. I didn't know how to act nice to a guy, so everything just came out really bad. I hope I didn't hurt you." Callie finished and Jackson looked amazed. She liked him? He jumped up and down like a little kid but stopped when Callie looked at him like he was crazy.
Jackson cleared his throat. "So, that leads me to my next question. Will you be my girlfriend?" Jackson waited nervously for her answer. But she never answered. She leaped into Jackson's arms and hugged him tightly. Jackson couldn't process what happened. Did he truly, seriously have an actual girlfriend? What would happen when he had to leave tomorrow?
"Callie, where do you live? I might not see you for a long time if you live far away from me!"
"Jackson, I live in Los Angeles. I'm a model. Where do you live?" Jackson was so relieved to hear she live in Los Angeles.
"I live there too! This is the best day of my life!" Jackson entwined his fingers with Callie's and walked out of the room to go get some ice cream with his new girlfriend.

The next morning was hectic. Everyone was throwing their clothes in their suitcases and running to the front of the hotel, waiting for everyone else to arrive. It took the "men" about an hour to clean their drawers out and come outside. The valet brought their car around and put their suitcases in the trunk. Once everyone was in and buckled up, Robbie drove out of the beautiful and memorable hotel and went to the airport.
Once arriving back in California, Miley knew she had a lot to do in preparation for her Hannah party. But she wasn't going to think about that now, because she was happy that Hawaii turned out to be the best trip she had every taken.
Thanks for reviewing everyone! I hope this chapter was longer than the others. I still have about two chapters left I think, so review! Thanks for reading!
