Chapter 5 of
How Long Will It Take?
Jake's P.O.V.
Miley was giving me a devious smile.
"You have a plan already?" I asked.
"No, just felt like doing that." she said. I laughed.
"So, when exactly are we going to come up with this plan?" I asked.
"When are you free?" she said.
"Well, for the rest of the night, since normal guys don't go to movie premieres." I said.
"Your missing a movie premiere just to go on a date with me?" she asked apparently not knowing how much I like her.
"Yes." I said simply.
"Wow." She said.
Miley's P.O.V.
At 7 o'clock I walked over to Jake's. It wasn't too far, just a few streets down. I rang the doorbell. His mom came to the door.
"Oh, Hello. Are you the Miley I've heard so much about?" she asked. I laughed a little and blushed a lot.
"Yeah, that's me." I said.
"Ok then I'll get Jake." She walked away from the door and called up the stairs.
"Jake, Miley's here." She called.
"Ok be right there." I heard him say but it was faint so it was hard to make out. He soon came down the staircase at a fairly fast pace.
"Hey." I said.
"Hey." He said back. I saw a little girl come in through some sliding doors, that must be Sarah.
"Who's that?" she asked Jake in a curious voice.
"This is Miley, Miley my sister Sarah." He said.
"Hi Sarah." I said. A taller older looking boy emerged from the same doors Sarah had come in from. He looked up and saw me standing there. Here comes the same question.
"Hey Jake, I didn't know you had a girlfriend!" he said. Ok not what I was expecting him to say.
"I am not his girlfriend." I said almost a little too harshly.
"Ok then sorry about that." He said.
"Jared this is Miley, Miley my older brother Jared who just got back from college." Jake said.
"Hi." I said. He smiled. Then stuck his hand out and I shook it. He had a firm yet not too harsh handshake.
"Hi yourself." He said.
"Ok let's head upstairs and get to planning." Jake interrupted.
"All right." I said. Jake put his hand on my back lightly pushing me forward. He lead me to a door. He opened it and it revealed a fairly large room. He walked towards a desk which had a MacBook on top of it. He turned it on while I was looking at some pictures on his dresser. He had many of him and his family. I especially liked the one of him, his sister, and his brother in Disney World with Mickey Mouse. After I was done looking at his many photos I made my way over to where he was on the computer.
"I figure we can ask them ourselves, but since they won't say it to each other, it has to be recorded somehow and what is better than AIM?" he said.
"You are so right! But we'll need another computer." I said.
"Ok you take this one I'll get my brother's." He said and left the room. I brought up AIM and signed on. Good Lily and Jackson were both on.
Meanwhile Jake's P.O.V.
"Hey, can I borrow your computer?" I asked Jared.
"Why do you need it?" he said.
"It's a long story about Miley, her brother, and her friend. Don't ask.. It's weird." I said.
"So, who is Miley?" he asked.
"This girl I met at school." I said.
"So why is she here and why does she hate you?" he asked, I knew that part would come eventually.
"It's not hate it's just annoyance, ok? Let's put it that way." I said getting slightly annoyed by his constant questions.
"Whatever bro. By the way you've got good taste, she's pretty but not dumb like most of em." He said and laughed.
"So does this mean I can borrow your computer?" I asked.
"If you can get Miley to come down and ask then yes, she can use it." He said.
"Why?" I asked extremely confused at this point.
"Just do it and watch from the top of the stairs if you must." He said.
"Fine whatever. I'll get her." I said and made my way up the stairs.
Miley's P.O.V.
"Hey Miles, Jared wants to talk to you for some reason. I don't know, just go down the stairs and into the kitchen when you find a guy stuffing his face you found him." He said. I laughed a little.
"Ok." I said and walked out the door and down the stairs.
"Hey, it's Jared right?" I asked.
"Yup, so you want to use my computer huh?" he asked.
"Um, well we just needed two computers but if you don't want to let us use it it's fine." I said.
"No, no I'll let you use it, just answer a few questions for me first. Deal?" he asked. I nodded.
"Ok, 1. Are you going out with my brother?" he asked. I rolled my eyes at that one. He noticed and he raised his eyebrows.
"It's a long story. Next question?" I said.
"My next question is what is the long story?" he asked. I laughed.
"Well, I told him he was an egomaniac and to make this long story short, I said I would go out with him if he can be a normal person for a week." I said in one breath. He smiled and I didn't know why.
"What? Why are you smiling like that?" I asked.
"Because you're probably the only person he would do that for." He said. I smiled and blushed a little.
"Um, thanks I guess. If that's a compliment." I said a tad confused.
"It is." He said with a smile.
"Here." He said handing me his Mac.
"Thanks." I said and went up the stairs. This was going to be good fun...
