Chapter 3
For the rest of the night Oliver and Lilly acted strange. They were giddy and giggly. Like cheesy newly weds. Miley was fed up. Every time she said something to them, they'd be all giggly and look at each other all lovely dovey. Miley, up until now would only roll her eyes. Now she'd had it. She grabbed them by the arms and pulled them into a corner.
"What the heck is with you guys?"
"Hannah, what are you talking about?" questioned Oliver.
"Yeah what's your deal?" asked Lilly.
"You guys are my deal!"
"What did we do?" defended Oliver.
"You two are my best friends and you act like you are in love!"
"We are not in love!" exclaimed Lilly.
"Well then quit acting like you're freaking married!"
"Quit acting freaking jealous!" spat Lilly.
"Jealous! You think I'm jealous? That's the last thing I am. It's just odd to see my best friends together like they're in love. And I don't want to be the third wheel!" Miley started tearing. She only told half the reason for her behavior. But Oliver and Lilly has compassion for their friend.
"Hannah, we're not in love. It was just a publicity stunt. And even if we really did like each other that way, we wouldn't leave you out. It's just tonight we didn't know you were feeling excluded." assured Lilly.
"Yeah Hannah, we're still the Trio." Said Oliver making sure to call her Hannah as opposed to her real name. So the group hugged and made up.
Fortunately it was a Friday night so the Trio could sleep late. They all decided to crash at Miley's. Since Oliver and Lilly spent the night at Miley's very often,they already had clothes there. Almost as soon as Miley, Lilly, and Oliver got in the house, they dropped liked birds. They were so dead! They changed clothes and plopped on the floor in Miley's room.
Around two o clock in the morning Lilly found she was unable to sleep so she decided to go outside and take a walk. When she got out side she ran into someone unexpectedly.
"Ahhhhhh!" they screamed unanimously.
"Man, Oliver. What are you doing up? And why are you out here?"
"Well, that question goes both ways doesn't it?" retaliated Oliver, flirtatiously.
"Okay well I'm here because regardless of my fatigue earlier, I can't sleep now. Your turn, Oken."
"Same reason, Lil. Couldn't sleep. Thinking too much."
"Oh. Well exactly what was on your mind?" questioned Lilly.
"Tonight. That's what I was thinking about. Look Lilly remember how we were saying that we were only friends and that kiss was only a publicity stunt?"
"Yeah?" She said reluctantly.
"Well Lilly that kiss was amazing. And the more I thought of it the more I wonder about us. I mean…well…what do you think?"
"Well really I don't know what to say because I was feeling the same way. But I had no idea that you were thinking my thoughts."
"Well I'm glad we're on the same page. I gotta be honest. That kiss was real to me, Lilly. Even if to the rest of the world, I was kissing Lola. And until later on today I was grossed out by the thought of dating my best friend of ten years. But now I see that it's been ten years spent with someone I love as more than a friend. I don't know. It sounds totally corny and unlike me but Lilly that kiss meant something and it made me realize I loved you this whole time." Oliver confessed.
"Oh wow. Oliver. I don't know what to-"
And she was cut off by Oliver's lips lightly pressing against hers. Lilly felt so shaky when she felt Oliver's hands creep up her waist. The kiss deepened when Lilly put her hands in his hair and he licked her bottom lip. After about five minutes they pulled apart. This kiss was more magical than the first. The giddiness continued through the night.
"Hey Oliver, we should probably get to bed. I don't want to look all tired in the morning and have Miley getting all suspicious."
"Yeah you're right. I am really starting to worry about her."
