Chapter 8 of

How Long Will It Take?

Jake's P.O.V.

The question I was a about to ask could ruin everything but I really wanted to know, "Can I ask you a question?" I said. She nodded. Here goes everything...

"Why didn't you pull away? You said you hated me, yet here you are kissing me. I just don't get it." I said, she looked shocked. I'm guessing I shouldn't have said that.

"Look, Jake, you were right. You are not what I thought you were at all. You turned out to be a great guy. You helped me with something I could never get any other guy to do and it means a lot to me. But the other thing is and if this creeps you out I'm sorry, but it felt so right kissing you. I know, I know corny but..." I cut her off by kissing her, and she kissed back. It was electrifying, it did feel right just like she said. When I was kissing her everything around me seemed to disappear. It was just us. Of course at some point we had to come up for air.

"So, does this mean we're like together?" she asked. I smiled.

"If you want us to be." She smiled back, "More than anything." She said.

Miley's P.O.V.

Scene: At the beach

When I was leaving Jake's house he called after me and asked me if I was up for a surprise. Of course wanting to know what it was I said yes. We got in his silver convertible and he drove. It seemed like it was a long time, but yet with his hand on my leg I didn't mind. When we finally stopped he came around to my door and helped me out of the car, considering I was blindfolded. He held my hand and when he removed the blindfold I was astonished.

"Where are we?" I asked with a smile.

"The carnival." He said with a large smile plastered on his face, but it was a genuine smile not the one he used for the cameras.

He grabbed my hand and we ran over to the Ferris wheel he bought us two tickets. It felt so good to have his fingers entwined with mine.

"I never thought I would ever get to come here again." I said. We were both smiling.

"Exactly why we're here." He said laughing softly. I gave him a short kiss.

"Well, I'm glad we're here together, and yes I know it sounds corny but it's true." I said with a laugh.

"I am too." He said with yet another smile.

The End (but read the authors note!)
