Sorry if I keep you waiting but I've got a lot to do. Besides I'm here now. So here's chapter 8. Enjoy

Nick's POV:

After Joe and Miley left, I looked over at Maddie and Kevin. Great! Now they are OK to kiss in public. Because I knew that they knew I was there but they were still kissing passionately. I made gagging noise and I heard some giggling. I turned around and I saw Lilly.

"Hey Lilly" I said. She smiled.

"Hey Nick" she replied "Disgusting, isn't it" she asked, nodding her head towards Kevin and Maddie.

"Ya bet" I answered.

"Yeah, and so are you guys" Cody murmured. I looked at him.

"And what did we do to you that you have to act just like Joe?" I asked him. He glared at him.

"Hey guys" Oliver chimed in "Where are Miley and Joe?"

I shrugged "Who knows? Going out somewhere? I don't really care"

"Maybe we can bust them doing something really embarrassing. Like they did to us" Maddie's voice came up behind me making me jump. She smiled when she saw my reaction "Sorry"

"Come on" Kevin said leading us out the door. I looked at Cody "Where's Zack?"

"Who knows? Probably in our room, sleeping while hoping to never wake up again" he replied. We all looked at him confusing. He looked back at us "What?"

I shrugged it off "So where do you think we can find them?"

Kevin pointed at something behind me "There"

I looked at him weirdly "How on Earth do you think we will find…" I turned around and saw Miley and Joe kissing, about 20 feet away. I smiled.

We walked to them, quietly. I reached to Joe, my finger almost touched Joe's shoulder…

Miley's POV:

Right after Joe captured me in another kiss, I kissed him as passionately as he did. Suddenly he jumped, breaking our kiss.

"What in the…" I mumbled. Then I saw the problem. Nick, Kevin, Lilly, Maddie, Oliver and Cody laughed really hard. Oliver even almost fell down. He had to kneel on the ground to control his laughter, but sadly he couldn't.

"What the hell are you guys doing? You almost gave me a heart attack" Joe exclaimed.

We had to wait another 5 minutes for them to stop laughing. When they totally controlled themselves, Maddie said "We wanted to show you what it's like to be embarrassed"

We looked at each other then we looked back at her "Ok, first" Joe said "We're not embarrassed. And second, when I embarrass you, did I give you a heart attack? No, I didn't"

"Why do you suddenly decide to make out in the middle of the street and right in front of the hotel?" Kevin asked us. I could feel that my face was turning a little bit hotter. But Joe was still calm.

"Well we just wanted to show London" he explained.

"She's not even here" Nick said looking around.

"She probably left" Joe said with no confusion in his tone.

"But you kept kissing" Maddie said.

"Like we know when she left" he fought back. I smiled. "And since we really like each other, we can kiss anytime. Wanna see?" he asked them.

They all pulled a disgusting expression "Ewwwww, no"

Cody said "The last thing we want to do is to watch you guys sucking faces"

The others agreed.

"Fine. Then we will go sucking our faces somewhere else. And this time, don't follow us or at least don't give me another heart attack" Joe joked then pulled me away with him. When we were out of their sight, he turned to me.

"So is it a yes?"

I was confused "What is a yes for what?"

He laughed "The kiss. A yes for my question of being my girlfriend"

I blushed "You never asked me to be your girlfriend. We never even dated"

He smiled "Well, I'm asking now" he said then he took my hand "Do you want to be my girlfriend?"

I smiled and grabbed his neck and kissed him. 10 seconds later, I pulled away.

"So, is this time really a yes?" he asked me. I nodded. He smiled even bigger and after giving me another kiss, we walked to a bench and sat down. I rested my head on his shoulder. He put my arms around me.

"So as your brothers always say, you are very good at the ladies, huh?"

"Pretty much"

"Have you ever really loved anyone?" I looked up at him.

"Well, not yet. I'm still searching for the one. And I'm hoping that you are because I'm really tired of searching"

"You're only 17. You've got plenty of time" I said assuring him.

"So are you?" he asked me.

"Am I what?"

"Are you hoping you are the one for me, and I am the one for you?"

"Well, kinda" I said feeling a little heat from my face. He smiled happily and I continued to rest my head on his shoulder. I closed my eyes and just enjoyed the feeling.

"Miley?" An annoying and familiar voice asked. I opened my eyes and sat up. I saw Jackson standing right in front of me.

"What are you doing….." then I saw who he was with "Woah. How can you get yourself a girl like that?" That girl was really beautiful. Nothing about her appearance wasn't perfect.

"What's your name?" I asked her.

"Julie" she answered. Jackson smiled and that was a victory smile.

"Julie, how did he get you out on a date? Did he force you? Because I will totally understand if he did that" I asked her. He glared me.

Julie smiled "No, he helped me with some bad guys and I figured why not going out with him?" she explained.

I widened my eyes at him "How did you help her? Those guys must be really small"

"They were just really scared"

"Scared?" I asked then I turned to Julie "Excuse us for just 10 seconds" and I dragged him to a corner "Honestly"

"They WERE scared. Just not of me"

"Then of whom?"

"Well, right when I told them to let her go or I would call the cops, there were sirens behind me. So they thought I already called the police and ran away"

I laughed "So she thought you were the hero of her life but the truth is you were not, right?"

"Pretty much" he admitted. We went back to where Julie was.

I heard Joe cough behind me. I suddenly realized that Joe was there and they hadn't met yet.

"Right, I forgot. Joe, Jackson. Jackson, Joe" I introduced them.

"So you are Miley's brother? She told me so much about you"

He looked at me suspiciously. I smiled. "What did she tell you?"

"A lot of embarrassing things" I answered "Like your room is worse than a trash can and other embarrassing things. I really don't want you to be embarrassed in front of a girl, especially a girl that is this beautiful, because you probably do it all on your own. Besides there are sooo many other embarrassing things that I didn't tell Joe because of your dignity, boy"

Jackson glared at me. Then he looked at Joe "Who are you again?"

Joe looked confused "Uhhhh, Joe?"

"Yeah yeah, I know that part. But how do you know my sister and why did I see her head on your shoulder?" he asked Joe.

"Uhhhhh…" Joe seemed to be having troubles with finding words to explain. I cut in "He is my boyfriend"

Jackson widened his eyes at me "Boyfriend? How can you get a boyfriend so fast? Because I sure as heck don't remember you ever told me and dad about it"

"We've been here for, like, nearly a whole week. How is that fast?"

Right then, Cody, Nick, Lilly, Kevin, Oliver and Maddie appeared. I glared at them.

"I thought we told you not to follow us" I said annoyingly.

"Uhhhh…." Nick stuttered.

"We're just hanging out" Lilly said quickly.

"Why do you think that we followed you?" Maddie asked nervously.

"Uh, because of the fact that you're here and Nick is stuttering like an idiot" Joe answered and earned a glare from Nick.

"Lilly, Oliver" Jackson greeted them. Right, forgot he didn't know most of them.

"Jackson" Lilly and Oliver said in unison. Then both of them looked at Julie.

"Woah" they said in unison again.

"Jackson, how on Earth could you ask her out?" Lilly asked unbelievingly.

"I know, it's a miracle, isn't it?"

"You mind introducing me and Julie to your friends?" he asked me looking at them.

"Right. This is Cody" I pointed at Cody "and Kevin, Nick, Joe's brother, and of course, you know Maddie" I said.

He thought for a minute "Right, she dragged you out to babysit"

"Yeah, babysit me and my brother" Cody said sadly. Jackson looked at him carefully.

"Aren't you the same age with Miley?" he asked.

"Yeah, but a lot more hyper" Kevin replied. Cody glared at him "I thought we were best friends"

"We are" Joe said, being a little bit confused.

"Well best friends don't mock each other"

"Sorry" Kevin said smiling.

"So you are?" Nick asked looking at Jackson.

"Oh, right. He is my big brother, same age as Maddie and Joe" I answered.

"And you are?" Kevin asked, looking at Julie.

"This is Julie, Jackson's date for the day"

"Hey guys" a girl's voice came up from my right. I saw a girl, who is probably the same age as me.

"Hey Max" Joe, Kevin, Nick, Cody and Maddie said in unison.

"You mind introducing?" she asked looking at us curiously.

"This is Miley, Joe's new girlfriend" Kevin started "Lilly, Miley's best friend and Nick's new girlfriend, Oliver, Miley's other best friend, Jackson, Miley's big brother and Julie, Jackson's date" then he turned to us "Guys, this is Max, our best friend, Cody's and Zack's classmate"

"Did you forget something?" Nick asked him.

"What?" he looked confused. Nick sighed "Kevin official asked Maddie to be his girlfriend"

Max looked excited "Really? I knew you guys would get together someday"

Maddie and Kevin both blushed.

"So where's Zack?" she asked.

"In our room, sleeping, I guess" Cody answered with a shrug "Where's Tapeworm?"

"Grounded. For 5 months"

"WHAT?" all Joe, Nick, Kevin, Maddie and Cody asked in unison.

"Why?" Maddie asked.

"He said some bad things about one of our teacher and unfortunately, she heard it. So she told his parents"

"How come I don't know?" Cody asked her.

"You were at home that day. You were sick, remember? Last week?"

"Right. And Zack thought he could use advantage of it and also stayed home. That's why both of us didn't hear anything about that"

"Poor Tapeworm. Grounded when it's summer" Nick said sighing.

"Yeah"

"So Zack and Cody have been talking about you" Oliver said.

"Really?" Max looked at Cody with a confusing look on her face.

"Occasionally" Cody explained.

"So, wanna go for a walk?" Oliver asked her.

"Sure" she smiled and walked away with Oliver.

"Well, that's the first time" I said.

"For what?" Joe asked curiously.

"A girl agreeing on going out with Oliver right when he just asked her" Lilly said understanding.

"Yeah" I agreed.

"Well he's not the only one" Nick said.

"Yeah, Max has never agreed to go on a date with a guy before let alone the first time he asks" Cody explained the confused look on our faces.

He looked around carefully then he exclaimed "Great, now Zack and I are the only ones who don't have a girlfriend"

Cody's POV:

"Let's head back to the hotel" Joe said as he took Miley's hand and led us back the hotel. I stepped after them but a hand grabbed me and wouldn't let me go. I turned around and saw Maddie looking blankly ahead.

"Maddie, what are you doing?" I asked her.

"Cody, I want to talk. Privately" she said seriously. I nodded "What do you want to talk about?"

She was quiet for a minute "What's going on Zack lately?"

I tried to play innocent "What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean. He's been acting really weird and I demand you to tell me why" she said strongly.

I sighed "You know what"

She looked confused "What?"

"You and Kevin, you know, together. He doesn't like that?"

"Why?"

"Oh come on. You know why. Zack's been crushing on you since the day he met you. And he is serious about it. To him, age doesn't even matter" I explained.

"Tell him to stop" she said after a while.

"What?"

"Tell him to stop. Stop that right now. I have a boyfriend and he can't just keep ignoring my boyfriend like that. They are best friends"

"Not anymore. He stopped thinking of Kevin as a friend the day Kevin asked you out. He thinks of Kevin more like 'Maddie stealer'"

She looked really mad "Look. I don't care, ok? But I don't like him like that. And I have a boyfriend. He likes me and I like him too. So tell him to stop and find a girl his own age"

"Whatever" I was walking away when she called me back "And Cody"

I turned around "Yeah?"

"You stop it too"

"What? Why do you have to talk so…." I was saying and she cut me off "I meant stop liking Lilly. She's dating Nick now. And the way I see it, they both really like each other. So don't come and ruin it. If you really like Lilly, let her go. And Nick is a very good friend. Don't be mad at him over a girl. I saw a pair of twins walked into the hotel. They were really cute. Go ask them out. They will say yes"

I looked at her. She looked very sincere. I managed a smile "Thanks Maddie. I promise I will tell Zack to stop liking you like a maniac. And I will have to think about Lilly" I sad and walked back to the hotel.
