Just Talking...Around The Truth

Lilly's POV

Since our faces were just inches apart, it really wasn't that hard. So he did it- Jackson kissed me.

Since he was on top of me, there was a little pressure in it. So it would have been hard for me to move out of the kiss.

But I didn't. I wasn't going to try. He had only kissed me for a few seconds, but when I started to kiss back he pulled away. I was too late.

"Lilly I-I-I'm sorry I just, well i-it was just a moment you know." he stuttered as he got up. I still laid there and just smirked at him, waiting for him to confess first. "Ok maybe you don't know. It's just that, well I like you Lilly." he blushed and gave me a small smile.

"Jackson?" I said

"Yeah?" he replied and looked down at me hopefully.

Since I was still lying on the floor, I decided to make him lay down again too. So with one quick swipe of my feet against his- he fell down right beside me.

"Ouch Lilly, what was that-"

I didn't let him finish. Instead I kissed him for a few seconds.

"I really like you too." I smirked.

"Thanks. But you certainly have a funny way of showing it." he said as he rubbed the side of his butt that hit the floor.

"Oh don't be such a wimp." I said and lightly punched him in the shoulder, and then he rubbed that spot too. "Man you really are a wimp." I said and looked amazed at how fragile he seemed to be.

"Ha, gotcha!" he said and stopped rubbing his body.

Then he suddenly started tickling me. Dang, he sure knew my weak spot.

"Oh n-no Jackson, don't you…dare. You'd better…stop…or." I said in between breaths.

"Or what? I'm not very ticklish you know? You don't my weak spot." He just smirked.

He was really strong, but I tried hard to grab his arms and push them out of the way. I moved them just enough so I could lean in to kiss him again. He stopped tickling me. His arms went limp. He returned the kiss for about five seconds until I pulled away.

"Oh yeah? Are you sure I don't know your weak spot now?" I smiled at him.

"Oh alright fine. Hey do you wanna-" Jackson started to say, but stopped as we heard someone walking upstairs.

"Lilly, what have you two been doing?" Miley chuckled as she saw us just barely getting up.

"Oh um, well we've just-"

"Yeah w-we were-" Jackson tried to say.

"Talking, yep that's it."

"Yeah sure, whatever. You know you're a terrible liar Lilly." she smirked. "Anyway right now you have to hurry downstairs. We need to talk, remember?" Miley said sounding very anxious.

"Oh right, I forgot. Jackson I gotta go, but I'll uh…I'll see you later then." I said a bit nervously.

I have no idea why I was nervous. I mean it's just Jackson, who will probably start dating me now. Oh my gosh, I cannot believe what just happened. The shock just hit me.

But my thoughts were interrupted by Miley snapping her fingers in front of my face.

"Hello? Lilly?! Earth to Lilly!" she snapped a few times and then I looked at her. "Are you ready? We really need to get back downstairs." She said with a hint of impatience. But I just ignored it. Jackson wasn't here anymore and I wanted to know why.

"Whoa, ok sorry. We'll go ok, but where'd Jackson go?"

"He said goodbye like a minute ago. What were you thinking…oh I know, what did you guys do when I left? Kiss or something? She chuckled as if it were just a joke.

I was going to try and play along, but I was too late. Miley was right, I am a terrible liar. So I just stood there blushing.

Then Miley's eyes went wide when I didn't say anything. When she saw the look on my face, she knew it was no joke.

Although she just started smiling for some reason.

"What, Lilly are you kidding me? Already? That's just…just-"

"Just what? Miley I thought you were ok with this."

"Well yeah, why do you think I'm smiling? Because it is a little funny. But it's just, it was just a little weird for a moment that's all. It was just a little weird to think of you and my brother…kissing." She said with a weirded-out look on her face.

Just then, Jackson walked out of his room and stood next to me.

"Well don't think about it Miles…" Jackson said and smiled at her. Then he turned to me and gave me a quick peck. "…just watch it." he smirked at Miley and walked downstairs.

I watched him walk away, and then I looked around at Miley. She had a look like she really didn't want to see that. Now I just stood there and blushed for a moment.

"Ok Lilly, now that was just really obnoxious of him. And you like that? You know I also really didn't need to see that." Miley said quickly.

"Well yeah I-I do like him. But hey, Jake was even more obnoxious for kissing you like that."

"I know but Jackson just…w-with you...and right in front of me. And it was just a little weird I guess."

"Sorry I just, I mean he's the one that did it."

"N-no it's ok Lilly. I was just saying it was a little weird for me to see that. But you like him right?"

"Well yeah, of course."

"Then that's all that matters. It's perfectly ok with me. It just took me a moment to get that little scene out of my head."

"Miley, you know you'll-" I began to smirk at her. Then she cut me off before I could finish.

"I know, I'll probably be seeing this more." She rolled her eyes. "Ok, now that we've got this solved, we really better get downstairs and ask questions."

"Yep, I agree. Let's get this over with." I said as we walked down the stairs.

"Oh and uh…probably explain a few things too." Miley said as we were entering the living room and then smirked at me.

"Explain what?" Oliver asked as he turned off the TV and turned around from the couch to see us.

"Yeah, what has been taking you two so long?" Jake asked impatiently and turned around too.

"Yeah Lilly, what was…keeping us?" Miley said and smiled at me.

Talk about being put on the spot. I didn't have any idea what to say. I only thought of actions. And my first impulse was to walk up to Miley and push her to the ground for putting me on the spot like that. But just after I thought this, which I felt terrible for in the first place, Miley could tell how much pressure I was put under- just by the look on my face. Along with the blushing and the sweat.

Just before I acted on my impulse, Miley spoke up so I wouldn't have to.

"Nevermind Lilly." she said then turned to Oliver and Jake. "Guys we were just talking in my room. Not much else." Miley said.

"Nope, not much." I tried to add to the illusion.

Then she began to walk toward the couch and then she sat on a soft chair next to it. Away from Jake of course. I did the same thing. I sat on the chair across from her. Once I sat down I saw another person in the other room besides us four.

Jackson was in the kitchen- watching this scene intently. While stuffing his face with a bowl of ice cream of course.

The second after I looked at him, he caught my eye and smirked at me. I couldn't help but smile a little.

Miley's POV

I saw Lilly smiling at something behind me. I knew it was Jackson. We had to tell Oliver and Jake about them sooner or later. I think it should be tonight while they're here. Lilly might be mad, but I'll get it out of her somehow. But first we needed to ask them about their fights.

"Hey Jackson, don't you have anything better to do?" I turned around and said to Jackson. I wanted to get him out of the room first.

"Well eating and listening to you guys talk about feelings sounds like fun." He said sarcastically and smirked

"No I mean like a date or something. Do you ever go out or…?"

Then I froze when I saw him smile. I turned around and saw Lilly blushing and looking mad at me. Why couldn't I ever keep my big mouth shut?! I knew Lilly didn't want to come out with this right now. I didn't mean to embarrass her and she knew it too.

Apparently Jackson had no problem with it though. He just walked right over and stood next to Lilly.

"Well I don't know Miles, I might have a date." He smiled at me then looked at Lilly. "What do you think Lilly, should I go out tonight?" he smirked at her.

"W-why, why would you do that? It's, it's a school night you know." Lilly said, trying to sound firm and innocent.

"I know, but wouldn't you-"

"You can eat that somewhere else ya know!" I interrupted Jackson. I couldn't believe he couldn't see that Lilly didn't want to talk about this now. "How about in your room." I gave him a wide smile; he just glared at me.

A/N Distractions, distractions. What can ya do? So sorry for the delay. About my other stories- don't worry, they're still in progress. I'll put them up soon...
