Thanks so much for the reviews! I really appreciate them =)
This chapter is not very long (not that they ever are), but I plan on making the next one longer than this one. Let's just say there are a few things about to happen ;)

"Could you please stop smiling for like one second? It's getting creepy," Sarah said to Lilly. They were at Sarah's house, in her room, doing homework. However, Lilly couldn't concentrate on anything lately. Her mind was focused on entirely different things. A sexy, smart and gorgeous brunette in particular.

It had been three weeks since they'd introduced their relationship to her mother, and things couldn't be going better. Every day she and Miley seemed to be getting closer. All of Miley's friends were slowly becoming her friends as well, and she even seemed to be more popular at school. At this point, life was good. Pretty good actually.

"I'm sorry, Sarah," Lilly said, "it's just…," she shrugged her shoulders and smiled, again, "I'm so happy at the moment."

"Yeah, I could tell," Sarah said with a smile of her own. She closed her math book and put it away. She then readjusted herself on the bed they were laying on, folding her arms under her chin and watching Lilly with an amused expression. "So, things are good between you and Miley, I take it?" she asked her.

"Totally," Lilly said, a dreamy look covering her face.

Sarah grinned, but then her face turned more serious. "You know, I'm actually quite jealous of what you and Miley have. I think you have something special."

"That's sweet of you to say," Lilly smiled, "And don't worry, I know there's someone for you out there, too. You just have to have a little luck," she said, thinking about her first encounter with Miley.

"Yeah, well, "Sarah began as she sat up, "until that time you'll be stuck with boring old me, doing homework. Why aren't you with your hot girlfriend anyway?"

"She went to the beach with Mikayla and Joannie, catching some waves, "Lilly said, "And besides, I actually enjoy being here with you. Homework or not."

"Thanks," Sarah smiled, seeming somewhat relieved. "Come on, let's grab some drinks downstairs."

It was getting dark when Miley finally came home from a busy afternoon of surfing. She closed the door behind her and walked straight over to the kitchen, grabbing a drink. She walked to the couch and plopped down onto it.

"Hey bud, how was the beach?" Miley said to herself, doing a fairly good imitation of her dad's voice. "It was fun, daddy. Thanks for asking!" she then said in her own voice, faking enthusiasm. She sighed and got up from the couch, as she was troubled to sit still. Where the hell is he anyway? She thought, while ascending the stairs to go to her room.

She stopped to look at a photo of her and Lilly, lying safely hidden between some clothes in her closet. She smiled. The picture was made at Mikayla's house, with Lilly sitting sideways on Miley's lap. However, the picture was only a close-up of their heads, and showed two happy and flirty smiles and sparkling eyes as they looked at each other. Oh, Lilly, do you have any idea how amazing you are? Miley thought. She carefully put the photo back to where it lay hidden, and took out her cellphone, dialing Lilly's number.

"Hey, Miley!" Lily greeted happily

"Hey, gorgeous," Miley responded with a flirty smile, although Lilly could not see that.

"Did you catch any good waves today?"

"For sure, it was wild out there today," Miley spoke slowly, but with excitement in her voice.

"Hmm, hope you were being careful,"

"Of course I was, baby. There's no wave that can crush me."

"You're so full of yourself," Lilly playfully said, getting a small laugh from Miley.

"So how was your afternoon with Sarah?" Miley asked.

"It was nice. You know, we've gotten some homework done and we've talked a lot. I think we needed that."

"Yeah, I think so too. I mean, I don't wanna give up my time with you, hell no, but Sarah was there all along, you know. She's like, your all time best friend."

"I know, you're right. I want to spend more time with her, like we used to do. She doesn't really have other friends and I sure had a lot of fun today."

"You should do that," Miley encouraged, and then half-playfully, half-seriously added, "As long as there's enough Miley/Lilly time, that is."

She heard Lilly laugh. "Don't worry, I'm gonna make sure that won't be a problem."

"Good," Miley smiled. There was a silence, but it wasn't awkward at all. Miley lay comfortably on her bed, listening to Lilly's breathing on the other side of the line, and she was sure Lilly did the exact same thing. She was glad her dad wasn't home, enjoying the complete silence in the house.

"You're home alone again?" Lilly asked.

Wow, psychic much?

"Yes," Miley sighed, "I don't even know where my dad is."

After a short pause, Lilly softly said, "I'm sorry, Miles."

"It's okay. I just…,"she sighed, "I don't know. I'm now kinda used to him being gone all the time. I know that when he's away it's either because of his busy job or the fact that he just doesn't want to be around me. But even with that knowledge, I'd still like to know where he took off to, you know."

"I understand. Maybe you could talk to him sometime."

"Yeah, I think I'm gonna plan on doing that someday. Or I'll just find out my own way."

"That's good, Miles. And you know you always have me by your side," Lilly said sincerely.

"I know that. Thanks, Lil," Miley softly said.

Lilly closed her car door and strode down the parking lot. It was Tuesday, which meant school. She had overslept and was now running late. Normally, Miley would pick her up, but she called in sick today, deciding to stay home. Lilly planned on visiting her girfriend after school, but was now rather focused on not being late for her first period.

She started to think that there was still a chance to make it on time, but a hand on her shoulder stopped her. Lilly annoyingly turned around, looking at whoever that held her up. The boy she saw was not someone who she'd expected, and definitely not someone who she wanted to talk to.

"Keep your hands off me, Oliver, "Lilly snapped, shrugging off his hand.

The shaggy-haired boy frowned. "I need to talk to you."

Ooh, cliffy ;) Hope you liked it. I'll be soon heading to Italy for the weekend, but maybe I can get the next chapter up before I leave. Otherwise it'll be next week. Anyways, please let me know what you thought and review =)
