Chapter 7

Love and Trust

I sat in the passenger seat of Jake's car. We were going home after our interview and it was just. Boring. Typical relationship questions were asked and hardly any album or season questions. Just love questions. I hate the fact that every single time it's like that when it comes to the both of us having the same interview. I'm just a normal girl who happens to be a singer and Jake's a normal boy who happens to be an actor.

"God, I can't believe they asked us about our sex life, I mean seriously!" Jake complained as we drove into our driveway. "I swear I'm going to send them a very mean-" He started, but I reached for him and pulled him toward me, giving him a small kiss.

"Calm down Jake. The interview is down now, just relax and focus on me now." I joked and let go of him. "And it's not like we answered any of those inappropriate questions." I shrugged and sat in the chair for a while.

"Hey." He reached forward and squeezed my thought.

I stared at his hand. "What?" I asked and he slowly stroked it.

My cheeks burned as I pushed his hand away. "Stop, let's go inside." I got ready to get out when Jake sighed.

"I can't even touch my girlfriend. How sad." He sarcastically said and I turned to him.

"Act like that more and you won't get anything from me. Period." I stated and he groaned.

"I was just teasing you." He shrugged and pulled the key out of the ignition, stuffing it into his pocket.

"Aww." I pouted and reached for the collar of his shirt. "Don't be like that." I smiled and planted a soft kiss against his lips.

He grinned and put his hand above mine. "Cutie."

I rolled my eyes and pushed him away. I opened my door and stepped out of the car. Gah, he's such a flirt. I walked up the driveway and up to the porch. I was ready to get my key out to unlock the door when I felt two hands on my hips.

Jake nuzzled my neck and I bit my lip. "Jake, come on what if someone passes by and sees us. I can see the headlines now, "Jake Ryan and Miley Stewart; Sex Addicts." I rolled my eyes and tried to get his hands from my waist off. He kissed my neck and laughed.

"I don't mind. As long as I can be closer to you, I'm fine." He smiled against my skin.

"Jake!" I exclaimed and pushed him off me. I finally got the door unlocked and entered my house. Once again, the house was empty and I hate coming home to an empty house.

"I wonder where Luann is." Jake said and walked into the house.

"Probably with "Timmy". You want to watch a movie?" I asked as I dropped my things on the coffee table.

"Sure, I'll get the popcorn." Jake said and I smiled.

"I'll go change out of these uncomfortable clothes." I said and got up the stairs.

When I came back down, Jake was already seated on the couch with the movie popped in and a bowl of popcorn on his lap.

"Thanks for waiting for me." I joked and sat down next to him.

"Hey, at least I didn't press play." Jake said and finally played the movie.

I side eyes Jake most of the time for some reason. I felt like a little girl going on her first date or something and it really kind of confused me. It's like after our whole interview thing; it made me think about how close I got with Jake throughout the years. We've been dating for so long and it's kind of… amazing. I mean I never saw myself with him and dating him for so long.

I moved closer to him as he settled his arm around my shoulder.

I placed my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes for a second and then felt a hand tracing my cheek.

"Miley." He whispered as his finger traced down my jaw. I felt his lips graze my cheek as his finger moved along my neck.

My name lingered upon his lips. "Miley."

I bit my lip, refraining myself from saying anything else and just let the feelings last. His finger traced lower to the middle of my chest as his lips moved over, nibbling on my ear. His tongue flicked my earlobe and I smiled in pleasure.

He soon removed his lips from my ear as he made circular motions in the middle of my chest.

"Do you trust me?" He asked and my eyes shot up. There seeing a figure next to me that wasn't Jake. It was…

"Matt?" I said as soon as I saw his face.

-----

I was shaken and my eyes fluttered open. It was a dream?

"Miley, are you okay?" I then found my place back on Jake's shoulder as he held me close to him. His hand held my cheek, feeling if it was warm or not and he looked worried.

"What happened?" I asked and breathed in deeply. I removed myself from Jake's shoulder and his arm from my shoulder dropped.

He pulled me back down and hugged me. "You fell asleep and you started to sweat. Your face was getting red and I thought you were getting sick or something. Are you alright?" He asked and I nodded as I blushed.

"I had a small nightmare, don't worry about me, just watch the movie." I told him. He soon let me go and I got up from the couch. "I'm going to the bathroom to wash my face okay?" I smiled at him and he nodded.

I jogged upstairs and went into the bathroom. I instantly locked the door and stared at myself into the mirror. I didn't know what caused me to think of it, I mean I actually dreamed about Matt touching me! And the freaky thing is that I actually liked it.

I looked down at the sink and turned on the water. I cupped my hands under the water and splashed my face.

I must be getting my period soon or something, seriously why did I have to dream about that?

I turned off the faucet and stared at myself. I bit my lip and shook my head. I reached for a towel on the side and wiped my face.

Oh my god Matt you asshole, why come back now? I mean seriously is it because of the talk I had with Jake about trusting? I was fine when I wasn't thinking about you and here I am thinking about you again.

You and your freakish obsession over me, why did you have to do this to me and date Luann at the same time?

I shook my head and sighed deeply. This is just too wrong. I got out of the bathroom and went down the stairs.

As I passed the patio, I saw Luann and Timmy out there, holding hands and talking. I was about to go back on the couch with Jake when I curiously got closer to hear what they're saying. I know I'm horrible, but I just had to know what they're talking about.

"I love you, you know?" He said and Luann giggled.

"Yes, I know you do." She dropped her head.

Timmy brought his hand to her chin and tilted it upward. "Then why won't you say it back?" He asked.

Luann shook my head. "The last time I did to another guy he hut me and my family." She shook her head.

She loved Matt? I asked myself as I bit my lip. It must've hurt her when he confessed to having a thing for me. I shook my head and continued to watch them.

"Well, I would never hurt you or your family. I really like you Luann. You trust me right?" He asked.

I bit my lip even harder. Trust. It's never a good word nowadays.

"Yes Timmy, but cant you wait until I'm ready? I'm just…" Luann looked flustered as she dropped her hands from his waist.

"I'm sorry." He said and hugged her.

I sighed and got up from my hiding spot and back to Jake. She seems to be afraid to fall in love again and I don't want her to be afraid of love. I was afraid and here I am now with Jake. Is she afraid that whatever happened to me will happen again?

I sat down next to Jake and leaned into him. His arms then went around me.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked and I looked up into his eyes.

"Do you love me?" I asked and he smiled.

"Of course I love you. You know I do. Ever since the day I was in the hospital when we confessed our love, I never stopped." He said.

"Okay good." I said and soon kissed him. I didn't want to let go, I just felt so weird right now and it's not even funny.

"People are now here, and not wanting to see my cousin make out with her boyfriend!" Luann's voice echoed through the room. I smiled and parted from Jake. I looked up at her and she had her hand in Timmy's.

"Hey Luann and Timmy." I softly said and he waved.

Luann snapped her fingers. "Shoot, I forgot something in the car." Luann looked back. "Jake, do you think you can help me? I left some of my bags in the car." She said.

I stared at Luann as Jake tightened his grip around me.

"You have your own boyfriend; get him to do your dirty work." He exclaimed and I giggled.

"Just help her Jake." I got up from his arms.

"But-" He started and I rolled my eyes.

"It's a little thing, just go, I'll be fine." I smiled, assuring him that I'm fine.

"Okay." He sighed and sat up. He got up from the couch and followed Luann out to her car.

I looked over at Timmy who was standing in the corner, with his hands in his pockets. He looked slightly embarrassed and I wonder why he's just standing there doing nothing. He could sit down, maybe he's just shy?

"Timmy, you can sit down you know." I said and patted a seat next to me.

He shook his head. "Nah, I'm fine here." He smiled as he nodded.

"No, come on." I said and patted the seat again.

He walked over to me and sat down in the seat farthest to me.

I eyed him questionably and shook my head. Maybe he's just different then most boys. I mean at this time, if he was a fan that is, he would be asking me questions. Maybe he just doesn't care.

"So how's your weekend?" I asked and he shrugged as he looked at his lap.

"I don't know. I saw that interview with you and Jake this morning. Cool." He said and I raised an eyebrow.

At least I know he knows who I am.

"Yeah, it was boring, I-" I started when he started to talk again.

"Do you and Jake do anything personal behind doors?" He then asked and I blushed.

Personal questions now? I gawked at him in confusion. Okay then.

"Umm, what you saw when you came in, that's just about the only thing we do that's kinda personal I guess." I lied. He didn't need to know about what I do with Jake.

"Okay." He shrugged and dug deeper into the couch.

"You okay there Timmy?" I asked him as I moved forward, placing a hand on his thigh.

"Yeah, I am. Look, I'm going to go, tell Luann I'll call her tonight." He said and stood up. Before I could say anything else, he went out the patio and toward the beach.

"What the hell was that?" I asked myself and stared blankly at the back door.

Seriously, what the hell? I was just talking to him, trying to make conversation and he's acting all freaky. He is so weird. I saw how sweet he is with Luann and no he's acting all freaky around me and just randomly goes out the door. Seriously next boyfriend Luann goes out with after this dude, I'm going to pick him for her and right now, a background check for Timmy doesn't sound too bad.

"Luann, next time you buy over a thousand things, I'm not going to help you." I could hear Jake say and my eyes darted toward the door where Luann coming in with Jake behind her holding many shopping bags.

"Sorry I never-" She looked around. "Where's Timmy?" She asked and I got up from the couch.

"He went home I think. We started to talk and he seemed really shy and he just left." I told her and watched as Jake dropped all her stuff to the ground.

"Really?" Luann said sounding a little confused.

"Yeah."

"That's how he acted when I first met him." She chuckled.

"Okay then." I said and stared at her as she picked up a few bags. She started to go upstairs and I looked at Jake who was massaging his hands.

"Did he do anything to you?" He asked and walked over to the couch to sit down.

"No, he just acted all nervous. It was weird at first but now I just can't believe how freaked out he acted. Like he was asking me if we ever did anything too personal or something and I said we just make out." I dropped down on Jake's lap. "He watched our interview this morning."

"At least you know now that he might be a shy and crazy fan of one of us." He said and I sighed.

"Maybe, I really wonder how he is though." I placed my head on his shoulder and he kissed my forehead.

"We'll find out more of him later. We are going to the party tonight, right?" He asked.

"I guess." I shrugged and Jake smiled.

"We should, it would be fun." Jake smiled.

"Yeah, maybe it would."

Something didn't make sense about Timmy. He's confusing and I wonder why Luann even chose him for a boyfriend. Hopefully Luann and Timmy will be at the party at the beach tonight. If so, I have so many questions to ask our little friend because right now, he doesn't seem as manly as he looks.

A/N LOL Okay, finally got that out. Hope you liked it. More coming up soon :D I really would like to know how you all feel about Timmy. LOL it's almost like asking if Snape is a friend or foe jk jk okay… Thanks for reading!
