Sorry it took me some time, but here it is, the next chapter :) I'll give you a hint: it has a bit more Miley versus Oliver in it, since most of you were looking forward to that =)
Disclaimer: I do not own anything.
The next day at school, Lilly found herself sitting at her usual lunchtable, and of course, Oliver and Sarah were there with her. Lilly suddenly felt how Oliver wrapped one of his arms around her. She turned her head to give him a surprised look, since this wasn't something he did very often, but then she saw how Miley came walking up to them.
"Hey Lilly," she said with a bright smile.
"Hey Miley," Lilly said with a smile of her own. She liked how she felt less nervous around her. All the stuttering was no good for her confidence. Although her insides still seemed to be dancing whenever Miley was around.
"How's the head?"
"It's better now actually, thanks."
"Good," Miley nodded, looking a bit nervous. Lilly actually thought it was funny how the roles seemed to be turning. Now it was Miley who had the shy expression on her face.
A loud cat whistle could be heard through the entire cafetaria, and they looked in the direction where the noise came from. Miley saw how her friends were all smiling and winking at her. Quite embarressed, she grinned and turned her head towards Lilly again. She cleared her throat. "I should probably go over there and finish my lunch."
Lilly nodded, slightly blushing. For a few seconds, Miley had a thoughtful look on her face. She opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but then quickly closed it again. She gave Lilly one of her dazzling smiles and walked back to the 'popular-table'.
Lilly watched her walk away and was startled a little when she heard Oliver's voice; she'd almost forgotten he was there. "I'm gonna grab some more food," he growled and he stood up and left the table.
Lilly noticed Sarah looking at her. "What?" she asked.
"You know, maybe she likes you," Sarah smiled.
"Why would you think that? Of course not. I mean, why on earth would someone as Miley Stewart like me? She's just being nice," Lilly rambled.
"Would you mind if she did?"
Lilly was at the loss of words for a few seconds. Sarah had asked her the exact same question as she was asking herself for the past few days. Secretely of course.
"I…uhm… can we not talk about that, please? I'm with Oliver. I'm not supposed to think about stuff like that."
"Okay, fine, I'll drop it," Sarah smiled. But from the look Lilly saw in her eyes, she knew she wouldn't. And that thought was scaring her, just like her own feelings.
Miley bounced down the stairs to get something to eat, but stopped in her tracks when she saw a familiar looking man sitting on the couch, doing some paperwork. Miley figured that since her music was always so loud, she didn't hear him coming home.
"Well, look who's home for a change," she mocked when she continued her journey to the fridge.
"Don't use that tone with me, Miley Ray," her father said, not looking up at her.
Miley ignored his comment. "I see that this time you didn't even bother to come upstairs and greet your daughter, since I haven't seen you in three days."
"Why should I? You know I'm home now. And besides, you don't look like you wanted me to," he said, now looking at her but his face emotionless.
Miley glared at him. "You've got a point there, dad."
"Good," he said, and with that, he turned his attention to his work again. Miley shook her head. She then snatched her bag off the counter and walked out of the door.
"Whatever."
Lilly was sitting at a table next to the window, with Oliver across from her. They were at the Burger King. Oliver had wanted to go on a date again, since they hadn't done that in quite some time. This was actually the first date for them after the whole Stacie-incident. The plan was to grab something to eat and then head to the movies.
Lilly was enjoying her hamburger when she saw someone walking outside, all alone. She did a double check on the person since it was already dark, but when all hesitations disappeared, she got up, murmering a, "I'll be right back," to Oliver. She quickly walked outside and didn't Oliver's confused look. Lilly ran after the girl.
"Miley!" she yelled.
Miley turned around, smiling when she saw Lilly running towards her. "Hey Lilly! What are you doing here?"
"I'm on a date with Oliver."
"Oh." Miley smile slightly fell from her face.
"What are you doing here?" Lilly asked.
"Oh, y'know, just… going for a walk," Miley said, waving it away.
"All by yourself? In the dark?"
Miley sighed. Lilly already knew about her home-situation, so she could might as well tell her. "My dad's home," she said.
"Oh," Lilly nodded, understanding. She seemed to be in deep thought about what she was going to say next. After long moments, she asked: "Hey, you wanna come with us?"
This surprised Miley. "You mean, like, with you and Oliver?"
"Yeah, who else?" Lilly grinned.
"Thanks for the invite, but I don't think that's such a good plan."
"It's better than you walking out here on your own."
Miley looked at Lilly, surprised with her sudden confident attitude. She didn't exactly know, but Lilly seemed to be determined to help her out this time, and that gesture made Miley's insides jump.
"Okay, I'll go with you. But I doubt your boyfriend will be pleased to hear this," Miley said.
"Ah, just don't mind him," Lilly said. She smiled at Miley and they started to walk back to the Burger King, where Oliver was waiting. Since it was dark, Lilly couldn't see the smirk that tugged on Miley's lips at the thought of her, Lilly and Oliver going out on a date.
This should be interesting.
They walked back into the Burger King. "Hey Lilly, where were y- -," Oliver stopped mid-sentence when he saw who was walking behind his girlfriend. He stood up. "What is she doing here?" he asked Lilly.
"I'm right here, y'know," Miley said.
Oliver looked at her in annoyance. "Yeah, I know, that's kind of my problem." He turned his gaze to Lilly again with a questioning look on his face.
"I asked her to come with us," Lilly shrugged.
Oliver almost choked on his own spit. "You did what?"
"Okaaay," Miley intervened, "I see dinner's finished, so I suggest it's time for a movie?"
She saw how Oliver was about to snap at her again when Lilly turned to her and quickly said, "Good idea, Miley. Let's go." She turned to walk out of the door, but not before Miley got there first and opened the door for her, smiling at her while she did. She then let the door go and walked after a blushing Lilly, not caring about Oliver, who almost got the door slammed against his nose.
Lilly sat down in one of the large chairs in the movietheatre, with Miley on her left and Oliver on her right. She'd agreed with a gruesome horrormovie which she didn't even want to know the name of. If a movie included chainsaws or ghosts (or both), she was out of the game. But as much as she hated to admit, tonight she'd have to make an exception. After all, this was a date. A kind of a modern one, but still.
Miley looked at her watch, seeing they still had fifteen minutes before the movie would start. She glanced at Oliver, grinning when she saw him contemplate about whether he was the one who should buy the snacks and drinks, since they hadn't done that yet. Miley figured he had two options. Option one: He'd buy some snacks, but then he would have to leave his girlfriend alone with her. Option two: He'd stay put to keep Lilly company, with the risk of losing his status as 'gentleman'. Miley smirked when she saw he'd wisely chosen the first option since he stood up.
"I'm gonna get us some drinks and stuff. Lilly, you want something?" Oliver asked.
"Erm... a coke and just some M&M's."
Oliver nodded and with obvious effort, he looked at Miley. "You want something too?"
"Coke for me as well and some popcorn, please," Miley said sweetly.
When Oliver was away, Miley turned her head towards Lilly. "So, you ready for the movie?" she grinned.
Lilly nervously smiled. "To be honest, I normally don't watch this stuff. It really creeps me out."
"Well, now you have me to protect you," Miley said, nearly gagging when she thought how cliché that line was. "And Oliver," she added.
Lilly snickered and she thought about how often she seemed to be blushing since she'd met Miley. "I already feel safer," she grinned.
After a few minutes of small talk, Oliver came back with the snacks and drinks, just in time for the movie to begin. In the first twenty minutes, already three people were killed and Lilly tried her best not to scream at the scary moments. She looked to her right and then to her left, slightly amused when she saw that Oliver seemed to be having more trouble with the movie than Miley, who was watching the big screen with an emotionless face and occasionally stuffing her mouth with some popcorn.
Against her will, she returned her attention to the movie, softly whimpering when she saw the psycho-axe-killer creeping up behind an innocent woman. When the killer finally attacked, she didn't manage to keep her scream inside and closed her eyes, ducking her head away. Her nostrils were suddenly filled with a delicious scent. She smelled vanilla, and something else that she couldn't place. She felt how long hair was softly tickling her face.
Her eyes opened when realisation hit her. She quickly sat up straight again, blushing like crazy at the thought of her face burried in Miley's neck. She kept looking in front of her, feeling way too embaressed to look at Miley. However, when she felt how Miley's hand was softly and almost shyly touching her arm, she turned her head slowly to look at her. Miley's facial expression would've been hidden in the dark if it wasn't for them sitting so close to each other. A thoughtful look was on her face while she looked deeply into Lilly's eyes for a moment. She then gave her a reassuring smile. Lilly couldn't help but smile back and was glad that Miley didn't seem to be bothered by Lilly's action. In fact, she didn't seem to be bothered at all.
Everytime Miley would smile or look at her, Lilly's stomach would have these strange feelings, and this time was no exception. Oh boy, does she even know what she's doing to me? Lilly thought.
She was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard Oliver silently growling. He grabbed her hand and carressed it with his thumb. But the only thing Lilly felt was Miley's stare.
Hope you guys enjoyed it. Please leave a review :)
