One Shot #6: Craig and Oliver Part 2 : Have You Tried Human?

(Will alert if rating changes to M)


A/N: Just remember, second part of the 2 shot!


What Happened?

I'm not even in my own home. I'm still at Oliver's. This probably means that I'm gonna be grounded because my parent's are going to kill me. I was supposed to be back by seven. Oh my god I was drunk at seven.

What happened?

I rubbed my head as Oliver came in.

"Here you go," he began shyly, "Tea and honey is the best for a hangover."

"How much did I have?"

"Probably five."

"And I got drunk?"

"You're a lightweight."

Oliver then quickly left the room. What did I do to him? Did I upset him?

What happened?

When Oliver sat near me, he didn't look me in the eye. I couldn't have offended him. I'm not a mean drunk am I?


Oliver POV

Just talk to her. We went through how to talk didn't we? But no – you can't just talk can you because of last night. She can't even remember it.

How she said she didn't want Craig.

How she wanted me.

How she loved me.

How upset she was when I didn't kiss her.

DAMMIT OLIVER OKEN IF YOU DON'T WHIPE THAT STUPID SMIRK OFF YOUR FACE SHE'LL BE ONTO YOU!

Too late. She looked at me like I was some kind of freak.

Even though she wanted – SHUT UP.

Okay the fact that I was hitting myself is obviously not helping as now her eyebrow is like raised to the top of her head.

"What happened – last night I mean?"

"Um, nothing."

"Did I mention Craig? Because I remember mentioning that I may not – yeah."

Oh yeah. You mentioned how you didn't want him…but me.

"Erm," I began, building tension.

God I love being in control.

But back to the point.

When I thought she had enough I continued, "you might have."

"Oh come on Ollie." Lilly pleaded.

Like she pleaded for me to be with her.

Okay you really have to stop.

Even though it is fun to think about how –

TOO FAR AGAIN OLIVER!

"Okay, you may have mentioned that he wasn't the one you wanted."

Her eyes widened. She must have realised.

But she doesn't remember anything.

Which means that she meant it.

Oh my God she likes me.

Getting Ridiculous.

Oh who cares, do a happy dance for all I care – better yet no.

But you can still scream in your head the following:

SHE LIKES YOU. YOU'RE NOT A COMPLETE DONUT. YOU'RE A DECIENT HUMAN BEING – in her books. SHE LIKES YOU. WWWAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOO!

"Did I say who?" She asked in horror.

Should I?

I could break up a couple here.

And now for the downside…

Wait: THERE IS NONE

That's the point where Miley decides to knock on the door.

But she's not alone.


Lilly POV

"Craig," I breathed out as he came in with Miley.

Why now?

Oliver was almost going to tell me something really important. But Miley has to bring Craig.

"Sorry I didn't come last night. I had a thing," Miley exaggerated, "but look who I found."

"That's brilliant," Oliver said, angrily?

He's jealous.

I can't believe that he's jealous.

Did I not notice Craig hugging me, "Hey," I whispered, kissing him on the cheek.

Okay Oliver is like exploding now.

But now he's smiling.

What the hell?


Oliver POV

She wants me.

Not him.

Me.

Look at her so confused.

Oh my god she just liked refused his kiss. I cannot believe it. I don't think she does either. Or him for that matter.

"Something okay," he said with his bony arms around her, "you seemed spaced out."

"I'm a little hung over."

He smiled, "hope Oliver wasn't taking advantage of my little Lillian."

"I would never, and her name's Lilly."

Lilly looked up in surprise in me. I was also proud of myself.

That was until I saw the look on Craig's face.

Oh God I am going to die.

"Sorry. I didn't realise it meant so much to you Oliver. But me and Lillian do that. Like she calls me Craigster."

Lilly looked at him, "actually I prefer Lilly and I've never called you Craigster."

Don't smile Oliver.

Okay you can smile but don't laugh.

Okay you can laugh but don't go into hysterics.

No seriously. Don't.

Craig moved slightly away from Lilly. What a dumb ass. I would hug her and never let go.


Lilly POV

Okay so now Craig's pissed off. Not good. Not good at all.

From hugging me, he's moved away and is looking out of the window.

I can't stand it.

But what about it is bugging me?

The fact that I'm upset about him moving or that I'm happy?

Oliver certainly is.


No POV

Craig eventually left after more witty comments from Oliver.

The three sat in a triangle, every now and again Lilly and Oliver making eye contact.

"Well that was fun," Miley began, "no wait – THAT WAS THE MOST AWKWARD MOMENT EVER!"

"No duh," Oliver said leaning against the wall.

"What was with you Lilly? You were totally rejecting Craig."

"I dunno. Wasn't in the mood?"

Oliver smirked. He knew better.

Miley looked at the both of them, "what happened last night?"

"I can't remember."

"Nothing!"

Lilly and Miley both looked at Oliver who seemed panic stricken.

"I mean – nothing happened. Why?"

"Just wandering. I'm guessing Lilly said a lot of crap."

"No, actually she was a civilised drunk."

"Righhhhhtttt."

"Yeah."

Miley started to circle Oliver and the Q&A began.


Oliver POV

Don't tell her.

Dammit Oliver if you think you're going to break now!

Miley began, "so you didn't drink?"

"I did."

"How much?"

"The same as Lilly. Like 5"

"And that made her get drunk but not you?"

Just play it cool.

"She's a lightweight."

"Aren't they known to be the worst drunk as they are so out of control?"

"I guess."

"So do you want to tell me what she said to you?"

This is the part you don't say.

"Well – she didn't say much but she laughed a lot."

That's partly true. Boy did she laugh a lot.

"So she didn't say anything Craig related?"

Don't tell her.

"Nope."

Lilly interrupted, "earlier on you told me you did?"

That's right Lilly. Make this difficult.

"Did you tell her that?"

Dammit Lilly!

"Yes."

"So why not tell me now?"

I swear you have to have a badge for this shit.

"Because what she told me was her business."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Well that's tuff."

Please like that's gonna suade me. In WWI, when the US wanted to join do you think we didn't do it because the other side said tuff you should have joined the war in 1914!

Hey! I remembered a history date!

Not now Oliver.

"Is it?"

Boy is Miley gonna kill me now!

"Yes! Now what else did she say?"

"Nothing."

"Lie!"

"Truth!"

Lilly's eyes widened "lie."

Crap does she remember?

"Oh God."

Oh yeah.

She does.

"Oliver can I speak to you in private?"

Miley sighed, "does that mean I'm kicked out?"

"No!" I screamed, "stay!"

I cannot be alone with her. It was embarrassing enough when she was drunk.

"I'll go," Miley replied with glee.

I should have just told the damn bitch.

Now she's out to get me!

When she left it was just me and Lilly. She stared at me, "I didn't say, what I thought I said. Did I?"

I nodded in shame, "yeah – yeah you did."

"So I said that I wanted – that I didn't want – and that I a crush on you for like ever? Well at least since this afternoon. "

"Yup," I then realised the whole thing, "except the last one!"

She has a crush on me?

And not just while she was drunk.

Smoking Oken!

"Oh dammit!" Lilly screamed, "I shouldn't have repeated that!"

"But you thought it!"

"But if you want to, we don't have to ever remember last night!"

"Last night was pretty embarrassing."

Pretty embarrassing? The girl was trying to lick my face!

"Okay. So last night never happened."

That's great. Right?

No – it's not!

Man I want her. And she wanted me.

"Actually, if it was okay with you, I'd quite like not to forget it."

"Why?"

I did it.

I'm leaning in.

Further.

Further.

Bingo.


Lilly POV

Wow this is good.

No bad, my boyfriend just left a little while ago and Miley is blatantly spying.

But I haven't pushed away yet.

Okay push away … now.

Now.

Now.

Now would be nice.

Now

I know he's good but let go.

No running your hands through his hair is very bad – even though his hair is very sof- NOT NOW LILLY!

Okay so I've pushed away. Damn he looks unhappy. And I'm unhappy.

"I'm sorry," I murmured.

I began to back away. I'm an idiot. I have a perfect boyfriend and Oliver is my best friend. I cannot believe me and stupid alcohol disturbed that!


Oliver POV

"Miley, it doesn't matter!"

Miley however, saw a different point of view, "what one earth? You just kissed her and you let her walk – wait – run away?"

"She didn't run."

Though it was pretty fast. Not that I care.

"Then she won't be that hard to catch up with!"

"I'm not going after her!"

"Why?"


Miley POV

Honestly, that boy is more stubborn then a couple of ferrets during mating season.

He looked up at me and said, "Craig. I'm second best. No matter what I can do, he can probably do better. And as much as I want Lilly and as much as I want her to be with me, she deserves someone perfect. She deserves Craig."

That was beautiful.

Oh dammit don't cry Miley – too late!

I then wiped my tears away, "well she's gonna have to settle with you."

Oliver rolled his eyes and I continued, "all her life she's been looking for perfect. She's found it. Is she happy?"

He didn't answer.

"Honestly Oliver. Is she happy?"

"Not at this certain point."

"So if the best doesn't make her happy, then why not try human."

Finally he got it and ran out. The challenge was then running behind him in my high heels.


Lilly POV

I sat on the bench down the road.

Boy I hate running.

Click Clack Click Clack. What the hell?

I then turned round to see Oliver running followed by Miley in her heels. Oliver saw me and began to sprint. I never knew he could run.

I never knew he could kiss.

He got me and grabbed me by the waist.

"Oliver I can't. This isn't."

"Perfect?"

Stupidly I nodded.

Oliver then smirked, "Have you tried human. Hear it's quite normal."

I saw him then wink at Miley, for what reason I do not know. He then pulled me in for another kiss.

And I responded.

Hell like you wouldn't.

I parted, "so how am I gonna dump Mr Perfect?"

Miley smiled, "Mess up his hair?"

Me and Oliver laughed but then we decided that it had been too long since we last kissed.

2 whole seconds is a while.

But it's human.
