Sorry it's taken me so long to upload! I stink I know! This is just a really short chapter to keep you over until tomorrow! When (fingers crossed) I will upload the next chapter which I have been working on. I just got blocked and couldn't think of anything! (ugh!) I really hope you like it!! Review please!!!
"I can't believe you're leaving already!" She whined, her face cuddled into my chest as we lay on the sofa in her living room. Her mom was busy working upstairs. "I feel like you just got here and now you have to leave."
"Mi, I've been here for a month!" I reasoned with her. She gave me a look that let me knew I had responded incorrectly. "But I know what you mean. I can't be without you for an hour much less two weeks." That seemed to make her feel better. And it was true. Miley and I had been living in a fantasyland for the past month. We would see each other every day and even though we were both working on new music, our studios were just across the street from each other. We would walk over during breaks to check up on each other and listen to each other's songs. And at night I would drive her back to her house everyday and usually stay for dinner and then a movie. Not that either one of us were too interested in the actual movie aspect, but being alone was defiantly a nice bonus. I knew that once I got back to LA without her I would be miserable until I saw her again.
"Promise we'll call each other everyday?"
"Twice a day. And we'll text all the time. Were going to be okay, Miley. I promise. We're stronger this time" I reassured her. She rubbed her hand across my chest and smiled with satisfaction at my promise.
"Mmm." She sighed happily. "How did I get so lucky to have a boyfriend like you?"
"I don't know. I really could do better." I said sarcastically. She sat up and hit me playfully on the chest."
"Nicholas! You take that back!"
"I was kidding! Shesh! I think your getting stronger. That kinnda hurt."
"Want me to kiss it?" She said, absolutely adorably.
"It couldn't hurt…" I suggested. She easily undid the first three buttons on my plaid shirt and I smiled as she placed a trail of kisses from the start of where my skin was visible all the way up to my neck and jaw line. I rolled her on top of me as she placed the last kiss on my lips but before she could pull away I ran my tongue over her lips and slipped my tongue inside her mouth. I could feel her smiling as she parted her lips for me. As I pulled away I looked at her, both of us smiling hugely. The way we could only smile when we were together.
"You know what?" said asked.
"What?"
"I really really love you." I chuckled a little
"I really really love you too, Mi."
"Well good. Because honestly I think that's the way things are supposed to be."
"I couldn't agree with you more." We both lay there for a moment just being with each other until she reached over me to grab the remote off the coffee table.
"Let's watch something." She said.
"Alright, what?"
"Mmm… I don't know yet," she said as she scrolled the channels. She bit her lip as she continued to scroll down the channel listings. It was cute the was she was so concentrated. Finally she got to the pay per view movie channels and decided on The Notebook. I'd never seen it all the way through before but she had.
"Oh my god!" she exclaimed! "This is, like, my favorite movie ever! Can we watch it, pleasee?!" I laughed. She knew I wouldn't be able to tell her no.
"Whatever makes you happy, babe."
The next morning Miley and her Mom drove with me to the airport. It really did seem like I had just landed here. But at the same time, so much had happened since I had. This time I wasn't counting down the minutes until I would be arriving at my destination. This time I wasn't desperate to leave. Because this time I was leaving Miley. And that was certainly never something I wanted to do. As we made our way through the airport I started getting a sick feeling in my stomach. Two weeks? How am I supposed to deal with that?! And even after those two weeks, what if things are different between Miley and I? We've been pretty much alone for the past month, so obviously it was easier for us to fall back in love. But now. Back in LA. With paparazzi, fans, jealous ex-girlfriends… ugh! Just then, Miley reached back to grab my hand, mid-thought. She pulled me close to her and whispered in my ear.
"Its okay. We're going to be fine." It was like she could read my thoughts. We sat in the terminal and waited for my flight to be called. Miley was sitting in my lap and I see she was about to cry. Before she could I rubbed my hand up and down her back and looked her in the eye.
"What happened to we're going to be fine?" She looked up at me
"Its not that. In my heart I know we will. But my head keeps getting in the way. I don't want to be away from you."
"You won't. I'll be with you always. In here." I took her hand and touched it to her heart. We laughed a little at the corny joke but it looked like she wasn't crying anymore. She closed her eyes and nodded her head a little as if to shake off the bad feelings. When she opened her eyes she looked at me and smiled.
"No more bad thoughts. These are the last few minutes we have together and were going to make them count!" It was amazing how she could go from 0 to 60 in less than 5 seconds. "Truth or dare?" she asked me.
"Well considering we're in an airport, I'm going to go with truth."
"Alright… you have to answer honestly. What about me annoys you the most?" Hmm. I thought about that one a long time. I honestly couldn't come up with anything. When you love somebody that much, the little "annoying" things really only make you love them more in the end.
"I really can't think of anything, Mi."
"Oh shut up! I know you're lying! What about my laugh? Or my mood swings? Or my stupid cankles? Or the- stop laughing! Why are you laughing?"
"Did you just say cankles?"
"Um yes actually, I did."
"Miley, that is ridiculous. You have a perfect body. How can you even think that?"
"How can you?! My body is far from perfect. In fact, nothing about me is perfect. You're the perfect one in this relationship, remember?
"Alright that's enough. Modesty is one thing but for you to consider yourself anything less than beautiful is insane. Your laugh makes me laugh even during my darkest moments. Most girls just try to be "on" all the time and are never real with me. You and I have something incredible and every time you yell at me for seemingly no reason, it reminds me that you feel comfortable enough with me to be yourself. And if I ever hear you saying you think your fat or have 'cankles' I'm taking you to the doctor to have your eyes checked. You are the most amazing, beautiful girl I've ever seen. Not just your body but everything about you still amazes me."
She didn't say anything for a minute. She just stared at me. "Nick…" For a second I thought I could see tears welling up in her eyes. "I love you" I smiled a little. Those three words were all I really needed to make me infinitely happy.
"I love you too, pretty girl." She smiled and cuddled into me once again as I placed a kiss on the top of her head. "And by the way," I continued, "the only perfect thing about me is you."
Aww, Nick really is the perfect man 3 Tell me what you thought in reviews! I'd really love love love to hear what you have to say! Thank you so much for reading also! XOXO, Tallie
