AN: Thanks to SamDeanWinchesterLove, IheartORANGE, and adryrules99 for reviewing. Even if I don't get a million hits, I know I have some loyal readers, which is awesome. Here's another short update. Hope you like it and RR.

"Home sweet home." Oliver said out loud as he made his way into the terminal of the Malibu airport. "Well...almost." Though he loved visiting his out-of-state family, he was very glad to be back on California grounds.

Oliver headed straight for the baggage claim. He wasted no time turning his cell phone back on, only to be flooded with texts, missed calls, and a full voice mailbox from none other than Lilly.

"Whoa, someone missed me." Oliver chuckled, going through all the messages on his phone. "I better call her now." Oliver dialed Lilly's cell phone and patiently waited for her to answer.

"Oliver!"

Lilly had shouted so loud that Oliver had winced back and pulled the phone away from his ear for few seconds.

"Hey Lilly." He said once he had recovered from the loud noise.

"I've been trying to reach you all week!" She exclaimed. "I must have let you a billion texts and voice mails!"

"Sorry, I didn't have service the whole time. I'm just getting my luggage now." Oliver explained.

"I'm so glad you back!" Lilly replied. She was about to go on when Oliver spoke up again.

"Listen, I've been thinking. We have some unfinished business from last week to take care of...so I was wondering if you'd want to come to my place tonight, and we can start where we left off."

"Oh, I'd love to." Lilly began. "But I'm going to be at the Stewart's tonight."

"You and Miley have plans?" He asked.

There was a small pause before Lilly responded. "Uh, well, I have plans with the Stewarts." She said nervously.

"Oh." Oliver let out a small sigh. He wasn't even sure if Lilly could hear it.

"I'd really liked to see you, cause I have something I think I should tell you..." Lilly said.

"Oh?" This time Oliver perked up; hoping it was about last week.

"Yeah, um, so if you just want to come over to the Stewart's, too you can." She suggested. "I'm sure no one will mind, and it'd probably be better off to tell you what I have to say in person rather than over the phone."

"Sure. Of course, I'll be there." Oliver said happily. "I just want to go home and get cleaned up."

"No problem." Lilly replied. "I'm not supposed to be there for another few hours. Go home and relax for awhile."

"Will do. Oh, hey, there's my bag. I'm going to head out." Oliver announced, pressing the phoned between his ear and shoulder in order to free his hands to collect his luggage. "I see you soon, Lills! Bye!"

Oliver came home to an empty house. He dropped his bags on the floor of his room by his closet door. He walked over and sat on his bed; just thinking. Oliver stuck his hand in one of his short's pockets and pulled out a small white box. Removing the lid, he pulled out a gold bracelet with an Aqua Marine heart. On the heart were the three words Oliver never had the courage to tell his best friend:

"I love you"

The heart shined in the light and Oliver smiled. "If I can't bring myself to say it tonight, this will surely do the trick."

He placed the bracelet gently back in its box and closed the lid. Oliver put the box on his nightstand and went to gather some clothes to put on after his shower. Once he found them, he made his to the bathroom, but stopped at his door way.

"Tonight, you will be around the wrist of Lillian Truscott; the sweetest, most beautiful woman in the world." He said to the contents of the box. "Tonight, we shall shine."

Hmm, Oliver's planning on a big night. What surprises await him at the Stewart house? The response I get determines how fast I update. It looks a little slow and dull right not, but the plot thickens in the coming chapters, I promise. Keep reading!
