One Shot #5: Craig and Oliver Part 1 : Almost
(Will alert if rating changes to M)
Lilly POV
Oliver and I sat there in front of each other. The silence was ticking away around them and eventually I spoke, "so, why are we here again?"
"I don't know, Miley just asked us to come."
"Ah."
Then the silence returned.
It lasted a little longer…
A little longer…
Okay now it's just making me want to kill myself.
Why was Oliver so awkward around me? Had I done something? Had he done something? I know we weren't like this forever. So what was with him? I didn't want to ask because I knew I wouldn't get an answer and the silence would last even longer.
Although I really don't know how it can last longer than this.
Oliver POV
Come on speak man. It's not that hard. Here's how you do it:
1) You open your mouth.
2) Words come out.
3) You tell Lilly you love her
WOAH! WE ARE NOT DOING THAT! NO WAY! Besides, we all know that she doesn't want me. She's going out with Craig.
Craig has a motorcycle.
Craig has a perfect 4.0 average
Craig has even better eyes that Cole Sprouse
And now Craig has Lilly.
Bastard.
Look at her in her little daze. I bet you she's thinking about him riiiigggghhhhtttt now! Yup there was a sigh. She had to be thinking of him.
Oh well I'm still smoking Oken!
Oh who are we kidding? If I was smoking at one point I must have been put out.
But maybe if I let people still believe that I am … I'll turn into him again … if I ever was him… hmmm … I hate girls.
Actually no – I love girls. Especially Blonde one's – and they have to be athletic – and they have to have been friends or something like that with me in the past – and they have to be funny.
If any of you ask who does that remind you of? I will gladly punch you in the face.
Lilly POV
What's wrong with Oliver now? He looks so … angry. I don't get it. Can't anyone break the silence?
Bet you Craig would do it.
Oh – who's Craig? Just my boyfriend.
Craig has a motorcycle.
Craig has a perfect 4.0 average
Craig has even better eyes that Cole Sprouse!
And now Craig has me!
I love that he has me. But the sad thing is, I don't really love him. It's odd really. I mean, I don't even think I like him. I think the only thing I like is actually dating him.
But I won't tell Oliver or Miley that. I know that they'll give me advice and … speak! Okay willing to risk it for the sake of conversation.
"So I don't know if I still want to go out with Craig."
Oliver POV
It's not like I only like girls like Lilly. I like brunettes to.
"So I don't know if I still want to go out with Craig."
That's nice Lilly – wait – WHAT????????? Okay I'm not dreaming this! Craig isn't perfect? If Lilly wasn't in the room right now, I would so do a happy dance.
But she is.
And I'm not saying anything…
Oh Crap!
"Oh. Why?"
Great Oliver. I know I didn't want to sound too egar but you could have tried to look a little interested.
"Well, it's not that he's not my type. I mean he's everyone's type."
I hate Craig.
"I mean he's cute and funny and…"
I hate Craig.
"…and while all those things are great…"
Yes! What's wrong with him.
"…he's just too perfect."
What? That's the great thing I'm waiting for? He couldn't even have an STD! Noooooooooo he has to be too perfect.
"Too perfect?"
"Yeah, I just feel so, inferior when I'm around him – you know?"
"Yeah," I murmured. Like when I'm around you. Wait – did I just say that?
"Can you repeat what I just said?"
Even though I hate Craig, I hate me so much more right now.
"Yeah. Why, did you want to add anything?"
"No. Just wondering, I'm in my own little world."
And now she thinks I'm a psychopath.
"See! That's the kind of guy I want. Goofy!"
I can be goofy.
"And dumb like me!"
I can be dumb!
"And maybe brunette."
I AM BRUNETTE!
"Seems like you just can't wait to get your hands on me."
Lilly looked at me for a moment and then laughed, "Oliver you're not dumb."
"Oh yes I am."
Lilly POV
Goofy. Dumb and Brunette. Yup.
That reminds me so much of someone.
Oliver then replied, "Seems like you just can't wait to get your hands on me."
Oh. My. God. My dream guy is just like Oliver. But I don't like Oliver. No way! Nuh – uh!
So I am staring him like a complete dumb ass. So I laughed it off, "Oliver you're not dumb."
"Oh yes I am."
I let out a giggle and then Oliver's cheeks went red.
Hold it…I made Oliver Oken blush.
Me, Lilly Truscott, made him blush.
Am I blushing aswell?
I can't be. Because I do not like Oliver. No way, he's so goofy, and funny and sensitive when he wants to be.
Yup all the things you don't want in a man.
"You just don't try sometimes."
"Or it's just that I'm dumb."
"You're not dumb Oliver. You're incredible."
Holy Crap did I just say that? Oh God please say he didn't hear that.
Oliver POV
Did she just call me incredible.
I like that
Incredible.
Olliiiiiiiiiiie's incredible. Yeah!
She thinks I'm incredible.
"Incredible?" I finally let out.
"Well – yeah, you're pretty – pretty incredilbe – compared to the av-average man."
"Thanks."
Oh dammit it's silent again! I hate the silence!
"You're incredible too Lilly, you know that?"
She smiled at me. I love it when she smiled, "thanks."
If this was a movie I would so kiss her.
Maybe I should.
That's insane.
Or is it?
Yes it is!
But if I gave her a kiss I could blame the moment.
Or the alcohol.
But we haven't drunk any.
But we could.
"Do you want a beer?"
"Since when do we drink beer?"
Since we were in a kissing mood.
Of course I lied, "Well it seems that what your problem needs is a little booze."
I cannot believe I'm trying to get a girl drunk to kiss her. Why don't I just drug her drink and have sex with her.
Wow, never thought I'd disagree with that.
Of course I would! I would never have underage sex.
Or would I?
OKAY NOW WE'RE GETTING REDICULOUS
I handed Lilly a beer. She took a swig and her eyes widened.
Wow she was a lightweight.
Lilly POV
I never realised this but I love beer.
Beer Beer Beer.
I've only had two. Oliver keeps using the term 'light weight' but I don't know what he's on about. But he must think it's a bad thing because he won't let me have any more beers.
Stupid pretty boy.
I can't remember what Oliver just said but it was really funny.
I think it was making fun of me so that makes it not so funny.
Maybe I should give Craig beer to make him funny too!
No POV
Oliver felt incredibly guilty as Lilly stumbled over and laughed at anything which came her way. All he wanted was a kiss. But he had created a monster. A tipsy monster.
"So what do you think I should do about my problemo."
Oliver laughed, "review the problemo."
"That I don't want to date Craig."
"Well then don't date him."
"But I am."
"Then end it."
"You're brilliant. Why can't I date you?"
Oliver wasn't sure how to reply, "because I'm a donut," he laughed off.
"Yeah," Lilly said wrapping her arms around Oliver's neck, "but you're a very handsome donut."
When Oliver's eyes widened she laughed, "oops. Shouldn't have said that to Ollie. Because I'm dating Craig."
"Craig's a nice guy."
"But he's not Ollie. Is he?"
"Stop it Lilly. You're drunk."
"Come on Ollie. Don't you want me?"
Oliver was scared, his palms were sweating. He shouldn't have given her alcohol. How much had she had? It didn't matter.
"Let's give you some water."
"I don't want water. I like these feelings. I didn't know I liked you so much."
"And now?"
"Now," Lilly slurred, attempting to be seductive, "Now I know that I love Ollie."
Oliver almost gave in. As her lips moved closer, her comforting breath on his, he almost gave in. He almost pulled her in and kissed her.
"No," Oliver said. He almost. But he didn't.
"Why?"
"Because you're drunk. And you're dating Craig."
"But I don't want Craig."
"You do. You are just having problems."
"Am I? I just thought I didn't like him anymore. I want Ollie."
"Stop it Lilly."
Lilly pouted and moved away from him in annoyance. Oliver sighed, "don't be a baby. You can't hate me for not wanting you while you're drunk."
"Yes I can."
Oliver then took care of her.
