Yay, update! Lucky guys. :) Right, this is told in Jackson's POV and I'm pretty sure he did stay in character... you tell me. And I highly recommend listening to this song... 'cause it's one of my faves. Oh, and watch the music video too... then you'll see why it's my favourite. Ha ha, ok without futhur ado...

I'm Not In Love… I Think

I wanna put my hands on your skin,
Underneath the clothes that you're in,
So kick off your shoes,
Let the fun begin! - Please Please, McFly

I, Jackson Rod Stewart, am not in love with Lilly Truscott. I do not harbour romantic feelings for her whatsoever. I mean, she is so not my type; she's a skater girl… Ok, so her being a skater girl has nothing to do with that. But seriously, I do not love Lilly…

I mean like! Dang flabbit…

What has brought on this mental rant? Well, then again, I'm constantly fighting with myself, but never Lilly. I mean, not after what happened just now on the beach, which is now permanently burnt into my brain so I won't forget it… her. But I'm not in love, ok? OK??

So to understand what brought on this sudden desire… (Oh no, not the right word! Uhm…) Ok, let me rephrase that: what brought on my sudden thought of one Lilly Truscott? Well, it actually started this afternoon, after school let out…

xXxXx

"Rico." I sneered (at least I think that's what I did? Is that even the right word?) as I approached Rico's Surf Shack and to my dismay, my boss' annoying son was already sitting on the stool by the counter.

"Jackson." He said back… and then dropped onto his knees declaring I was the best boss in the world and that he'd tell his father we'd give me a raise.

Ok, fine, so that didn't really happen.

"I haven't started my shift yet, so you can't boss me around." I paused and Rico gave me a look. "Yet."

"Who says I wait for you to start work?" He asked. I then envisioned two little horns sticking out of his head. One thing I'd agree with Miley, Rico could possibly be the devil…

Maybe that's a little too harsh…no, I must not feel compassion for the little…

Never mind.

"Well could you just lay off for a while, I just got here from school." I said as I slid across the counter top and took my position. I grabbed one of the Rico's shirts and pulled that on over my current shirt.

"Ok, sure Jackson." Rico said all 'I'm-so-innocent-I'd-never-hurt-a-fly-let-alone-Jackson' kind of voice. Ok, wait, what was that I just said?

"You aren't going to leave me alone, are you?" I asked him. Rico just gave me an evil smile and laughed and I knew I guessed right.

That's when the angle arrived… when did I become poetic? Ok, so that's when Lilly arrived and literally saved my day. But that doesn't mean I like her in anyway! Ok, getting back to the story…

Lilly came walking up to us from my house; Miley and Oliver not in sight. Either she was meeting up here with them or she and Miley had just had a 'homework' session at our house.

Or really, attempt to have one because before they actually start their homework Lilly always raids our fridge and I happen to know that there was nothing in the fridge…

Because I was the last person to clean it out. (Like Miley or my dad would eat what was in there anyway!)

So I had a feeling Miley had sent Lilly here for free food.

"Jackson, your house is completely empty of food. What did you do to it?" See? Mind reader I tell you! Maybe I could get a job as a psychic and finally leave Rico's…

"And what does this have to do with me?" I asked her as I avoided Rico.

"I happen to know you better then you know yourself… And I'm starving, so I just came here for food." She admitted and then battered her eyelashes at me.

That threw me off. I knew what she was doing; she was trying to flirt with me to get free food. Well, Jackson is no fool! Despite what my father, sister, teachers and friends might say… ok, this is some depressing realizations I'm coming to.

"You gotta pay Lilly." I said and put my hand out. Lilly started to search her pockets and I watched her… with curiosity of course! I wasn't checking her out or anything…

I'm being serious here, I was looking at her face, at how some hair got loose from her cap and fell over her eyes and how she tried to brush it back behind her ear, but always fell back over her face…

What is wrong with me??

"I don't have any money." Lilly said sadly and gave me a sad face… I think you call it a pout though.

"Too bad then, no food." I said and started to move back, but Lilly grabbed my shirt and pulled me closer to her. Not for a kiss though.

"I'm starving Stewart!" She shouted in my face. I cringed and tried to get her to let go on my shirt. Oddly enough, Lilly angry looked… cute. Someone kill me now!

"It's not my fault… ok, maybe it is my fault the house has no food in it." I said as I got Lilly to let go of my shirt, but this only caused her to grab hold of my hand and squeeze tight. And let me tell you something, Lilly is pretty strong. "Ow, fingers cramping, fingers cramping!"

"Sorry." She released my fingers and clamed down a bit. I shook them and blew on them, though I was exaggerating. It wasn't that painful anymore. I then quickly looked where Rico sat and saw the little… guy had disappeared. I then looked back at Lilly's sad face.

"Ok, this one time, because it's my fault, I'll give you a free hotdog. But only this once." I repeated. Her face brightened and I relaxed considerably, though not my heart… is there anyway I can control it so it would beat normally when Lilly is in my presence? Please?

"Thanks Jackson." She said and sat down. I quickly made her the hot dog and then handed it to her, with ketchup and mustard already on because I knew how she liked it. And that's because she's order so many hot dogs from Rico's!

I think…

"It isn't busy and Rico isn't here, how about we go down to the beach for a bit?" Lilly suggested.

"Shouldn't you go back to Miley?" Though I asked it, I was already over the counter and walking towards the beach.

"She won't know I'm gone, she's busy talking to some guy." Lilly waved her hand in the air as if it didn't matter. Which it didn't anyways.

"And because Miley has abandoned your company, you came to seek out the only other person you could think of to keep you company." I said proudly. Lilly just shook her head.

"Nope. Oliver's stuck at home with the chickenpox and I couldn't find your dad."

I think she was joking about the fact that she'd rather spend time with my father then me.

"Aw, too bad for them." I said as I found a spot on the beach and sat down. Lilly sat down next to me as she finished off her hotdog and kicked off her shoes before lying down on the sand.

She shortly closed her eyes as I lay down next her. I watched her again, this time I watched as the sun sometimes hit her face as the palm trees swayed in the breeze. Soon Lilly opened her eyes again and looked at me, a sparkle in her eye.

"Kiss me Jackson." She said and I of course obliged.

Fine, so that didn't happen either… well, not like that.

Lilly opened her eyes and frowned at me. "What are you staring at?"

"Nothing." I said before turning my head. Lilly propped herself up on her elbow so she hovered over me. Of course, I wasn't focusing on her; I was busy shouting at my brain for even thinking about kissing Lilly! Because I did think that.

"You alright?" She asked. I turned my head towards her and saw her face hovering over my face. Of course then my brain went completely crazy and I imagined putting my hand on her soft cheek, or holding her hand, or… kissing her.

I shuddered and I think she took it the wrong way.

"Do you have a fever? You spend time with Oliver lately? Have you had chickenpox before?" She asked all worried and put her hand on my face, but moved her face closer to mine.

I blame it all on hormones. I'm pretty sure that's what all the guys do when they do things on impulse. I'm pretty sure it was the hormones too…

Ok, so long story short, with Lilly's face dangerously close to mine, well her lips anyway, I lifted my head so I could kiss her.

And I liked it.

There, I said it, but I didn't say love, now did I? Ah, so I like Lilly! But that's still not good…

Anyways, so I kissed Lilly and I didn't want to stop. I wanted to take her head in my hands and kiss her till… well, I wasn't sure how long I wanted to kiss her, but I knew I didn't want to stop.

I was surprised when I felt Lilly kiss back. In fact, it freaked me out a bit that I dropped my head. I looked up at her and saw her eyes were closed. She slowly opened them and looked down at me.

"Sorry, I was trying to get up." I muttered. Liar, a voice shouted in my head.

Shut up.

"Oh, sorry." She muttered and scrambled away. She got up off the sand and dusted herself off. She gave me a smile. "Uhm, see you around."

I just nodded as I watched her walk off. Of course, I spent the rest of the day daydreaming about kissing Lilly that Rico docked my pay.

xXxXx

So as you can see, I am not in love with Lilly, I merely like her… more then a friend should. I guess? Are we even friends?

I'm not sure where this actually leaves us, so long as something like this doesn't happen again because I can't afford for Rico to dock my pay again. Maybe I can try again on Saturday…

Hee hee... hope you liked! Oddly enough, I just told someone I didn't have any inspiration and then came up with this and another idea, also based off a song, again going to be told in Jackson's POV. Which I'll promise you for Friday. :)

Uhm, that's all. Review please. (Ha ha, please. Please, Please, Lilly, Please! Listen to the song and you'll understand.)
