Run Baby Run, Chapter 4
The water in the pan was now boiling. Miley handed the pasta to Lilly, who slowly put them in the hot water.
''Okay, 7 minutes to go...'' Lilly said, slapping her hands together from anticipation.
''Maybe we should feed Lola'' Miley suggested.
''Yeah...''
They went into the living room. The doll was lying on the floor, where Lilly had thrown her as soon as she got in mind that she needed to eat...
''Look what your appetite did?!'' Miley exclaimed, more amused than upset.
''I know...Sorry...'' Lilly said, sheepishly.
Miley giggled. ''Hey, it's okay! I told you it was just a doll...'' She picked it up from the floor as Lilly grabbed a bottle in the bag. The baby started crying as soon as Miley got her in her arms.
''Aw Man, she hates me!''
Lilly giggled. ''Miley, it's a doll...''
''Still, listen to her!''
''She's probably hungry.'' Lilly replied as she was going over the instructions. ''She has a detector or something on her back...''
''What if it is a detector for love, huh?''
''Come on Miley, get real!'' Lilly shoved the bottle in the baby's mouth who suddenly stopped crying. ''See?''
Miley slightly smiled. ''Right...'' But she wasn't convinced at all, and thus, gave the baby to Lilly. I'm not gonna take any chance to make her cry again. I care about my ears...
After dinner, the girls had put Lola in her small cribb. She was sleeping, finally. They watched a film. Lilly was laying on the couch, half asleep. Miley kept glancing at her, fantasizing about laying next to her, her head snuggled in Lilly's neck, her arms wrapped around her waist, Lilly playing with her hand. But that wasn't never going to happen. Not now...
As soon as the end title appeared on the screen, Lilly turned off the TV. The girls stoop up and headed towards the room. In silence, they got ready to go to bed, and they soon found themselves under the sheet. The only light in the room was the slight hallow made by the moon. Miley didn't want to sleep, she couldn't. She was thinking about her past life. How she had left Lilly. How she had accused her to cheat on her. She had been so stupid.
''Why don't you wanna talk about him?'' Miley suddenly heard Lilly say in the dark.
''Talk about whom?'' She asked, taken aback.
''Your boyfriend.''
Miley gasped. Sweet Niblets.
''Come on, Miley. I thought we were friends...'' Lilly said.
''We are... It's just... I don't like to talk about it. I don't want to talk about it. Not now...''
''But...'' Lilly started.
''Please...'' Miley begged slightly.
''Fine...'' Lilly sighed.
''Can we change...'' Miley said, but she was interrupted by a loud cry coming from the bathroom.
''What the?'' Lilly exclaimed. ''What is that?''
''The baby! Lola !'' Miley cried, stepping out from her bed on the floor, and running into the bathroom. She switched on the light. The doll was lying on the sink, crying her heart out. Miley grabbed and started to rock her. Lola soon stopped crying. Miley relieved, started to walk out of the bathroom. But; obviously, this wasn't the way to go because the doll instantly started screaming again.
''Make her stop!!!'' Lilly begged from her bed, her hands covering her ears.
''I am trying!'' Miley exclaimed, doing er best to calm the baby down. She tried small waves, bigger waves, she also put her head on her shoulders, slightly taping the baby's back. Nothing seemed to work.
''I think she's hungry...'' Miley stated. She looked over to Lilly, who visibly hadn't hear her. No surprise there, her hands were still on her ears... and her head under the cover.
''Sweet niblets. No way I'm going to hell alone!'' Miley exclaimed.
She walked fiercely to the bed, and took of the sheets from Lilly.
''Hey!'' Lilly cried, throwing her pillow on the side of the bed and straightening up.
''There's absolutely no way I'm taking care of this fun killer all alone, Missy. We're in this nightmare together !''
Lilly looked at her a few seconds, her familiar grimace on her lips, and her eyebrows frowned. Her arms were crossed on her chest, like a child would do when asked to do something he doesn't want to do.
''Fine!'' Lilly groaned after a few seconds, stepping out of her bed. She walked over to Miley, and took the baby... who instantly stopped crying.
Miley looked at her, her eyes wide opened. Lilly was as surprised as her.
''How the heck do you do that?!'' She exclaimed.
''I have no idea... I guess I'm her favorite mom.'' She beamed.
''Yeah, right. That must be it...'' Miley replied sarcastically.
The night passed way too quickly for both of the girls. They basically spent half of it talking, or running to the crib, because Lola wouldn't stop crying. Lilly managed to get out of bed first with a slight groan. She stepped over Miley who was still wrapped her in her sheets on the floor.
She zombily walked to the shower and turned it on. Like a robot, she stripped off and went it, starting to cleanse herself.
Back in the room, Miley's head was barely coming out of the sheet. She was comfortable here. Five minutes more of sleep would be great... Yes, just five more min...
But a deafening sound suddenly invaded the room. A cry. A horrible cry : Lola.
''Itty-meany-whinny-evil-creature say what?'' She grumbled under the pillow. She's gonna stop. She's gonna stop, she's gonna stop. No need to get up, she's gonna stop... But Lola seemed to disagree with that. Please make her stop...
''Get your butt down there and take care of our child.'' a voice suddenly said.
Miley's head popped out of the bed. She quickly pulled back the cover and straightened up. Here she was. Lilly. She only had her towel on and her wet hair falling on her shoulders. Her face, and every part of her naked skin was still wet. It was quite obvious that her shower had been harshly interrupted. Miley smiled a little and stared at her. Man, she's so hot. I...
''Miley...'' Lilly warned, her arms crossed.
''Sorry...'' Miley groaned, but with an amused look on her face. She wasn't sorry. She was anything but sorry. Her behavior had caused Lilly to come out from the shower almost naked. And for this, she will never apologize.
Miley grabbed a bottle on her way to the cribb as Lilly went back into the bathroom.
She grabbed Lola, not very carefully by the way; and shoved the bottle in her mouth. She yawned as Lola was eating.
''Okay...'' She said as she noticed the bottle was empty. ''Now the burp.''
She positioned the baby on her shoulders and tapped gently on her back. Nothing. She waited a few seconds... Nothing. A minute passed, then a second.
''What the...'' Miley frowned as she pulled the baby a length arm away to see what was wrong. Lola seemed to enjoy it because she instantly burped, projecting a certain amount of liquid on Miley's cheek, neck and hair.
''That was so predictable...'' Miley exclaimed. She kept the baby away, holding her as far away from her as possible.
''Lilly! I'm gonna need the shower! Now!'' She cried.
''Just a sec !'' Lilly replied. She soon opened the door, and bursted of laughing.
Miley couldn't help but smile. Lilly was laughing... at her, maybe. But to Miley, it felt like she was laughing with her. And that felt good.
''Okay, Miley, you deserve a break.'' Lilly said as she calmed down. ''Go take a shower. I'll take care of Lola.''
Miley gave Lola to Lilly. Their hands brushed. Miley looked at Lilly, to see if she had noticed... And obviously she did, because she was looking at her too.
Lilly had felt something. It was like yesterday, in the street. She had felt tingles on her skin and stomach. Lilly blushed and looked away, embarrassed by the feelings she was experimenting. Miley blushed and looked away, embarrassed because she had made Lilly uncomfortable and probably somewhat let show her real feelings for the girl. She quickly disappeared in the shower, happy to have this distraction to forget about the 'incident'.
The hot water was rolling down Miley's body. She loved this warm sensation on her body, especially after a rough night and a rude awakening... Showers always gave her time to think things through... And this one wasn't an exception. In fact, as the water was hitting her face, she came to realize that the blush on Lilly's cheeks maybe wasn't because of Miley's stare, but because she might have felt something when their hands touched.
Yeah, she did recognize this look. The look Lilly had when she liked Hannah first (A/N : See 'A weekend in New York), and then when she looked at Miley. Maybe she does like me. Maybe she starts falling for me. Maybe I can conquer her like I did in the past. Maybe I won't be alone anymore.
A knock on the door pulled Miley out of her thoughts. ''Hurry up Miley, we're gonna be late!''
'''kay!'' She exclaimed as she turned off the shower. She quickly dried herself and got dressed.
A few minutes later, she came out of the bathroom. She caught Lilly staring at her. She smiled to herself. However, she didn't want to get ahead of herself... just in case. Thus, she decided to shake the ''Look'' off and grabbed her bag and Lola's. Lilly had Lola in her arms and her backpack on her back. A minute later, they were out on the street, on their way to school.
''thanks by the way for this night and yesterday. It's nice to have a friend here.''
''Yeah. I'm glad you're my partner.'' Lilly said. Then she realized what she said. Partner... Oh my gosh. She blushed. ''I mean, my companion. No that's not what I meant either. What I meant was...'' Lilly stopped as she felt Miley's hand on her arm.
''Lilly, I know what you meant.'' Miley smiled, soothing Lilly down. If that's not a cue...
''kay...'' Lilly sheepishly said.
They walked mostly silently the rest of the way, small talking from times to times. They dropped Lola at the improvised kindergarten.
It was now just the two of them, without the baby.
''Wow, I'm glad we can have a break.'' Lilly exclaimed as she stretched.
''Oh yeah, I won't disagree with that. Hey, we still have ten minutes before class. You wanna grab something to drink at the cafeteria?''
''Oh Miley, I'm sorry. I kinda... Oliver...''
''Oh! No need to explain. I get it.'' Miley said, raising her hand in sign of understanding.
''Sorry.''
''No worry, really. It's fine. I guess I'll see you later then.''
''Yeah...bye!'' Lilly said, suddenly shy.
''Bye.''
Neither of the girls moved though.
What's going on with you Truscott! You have a date with Oliver, your boyfriend. Stop looking at Miley. Stop feeling happy when you look at her. Stop the butterflies flying in your stomach. Stop the warmth invading your body when your eyes met. Stop stop stop.
What's going on with Lilly? Why is she looking at me like that? Should I say something? Should I kiss her? I want to kiss her... and I don't know, it seems like she wants me too. What if... Miley's thoughts were interrupted when Lilly suddenly turned away and walked away.
I guess that's not for now...
''Hey babe!'' Oliver greeted Lilly.
''Hi...'' Lilly replied as Oliver gave her a quick kiss.
''How was last night?'' he inquired.
Lilly couldn't help but smiled thinking of Miley. What are you doing? You can't smile like that when you think of her! You can do that when you think about Oliver! What's going on with you girl!
''Last night was...decent. But I don't wanna talk about it. Just kiss me, okay?''
''No need to ask twice.'' Oliver beamed as he executed Lilly's request.
''You know, I was thinking, maybe we could hook Miley up with some guy...'' Oliver said as they started walking along the corridor to their class.
''wh.. what??'' Lilly exclaimed, loudler than she wanted.
''Well, I know this guy... He actually asked to set her up with him... He would be perfect for her...''
Lilly had to admit it : she felt jealous, and she hated it. She couldn't bear it anymore. Maybe if Miley was dating someone, she could get passed these unwanted emotions, feelings.
''Lemme think about it, okay?''
''why? Not sure you have a voice in her love life. Why do you care?''
''I don't care. It's just that I don't want her to feel overwhelm. It's only her second day in Malibu...'' Lilly lied.
''Right... you're right. You're always thoughtfull... I love you for tha...''
''Love you too.'' Lilly smiled. They shared a quick kiss as the bell rang, and entered the classroom.
Miley was sitting at lunch, alone. She was waiting for Lilly, and probably Oliver too since they were never appart for long... Miley took a bite of her bread, daydreaming. How could she get her life back? She missed Lilly so much. She missed her lips, her touch, her breath in her neck, her comforting hand everytime Miley was sad. She missed their fight and the way Lilly made up after. She was interrupted by Lilly messingly sitting next to her.
''Hi hi!'' Lilly said all smiling.
''Hey...'' Miley frowned, distabilized by Lilly's happiness. She was definitly not the one that left her in front of the lockers a few hours earlier.
''Listen, I was thinking. Maybe you could take care of Lola tonight. And I'll take care of her tomorrow. I figured it would be easier that way, you know. Like, you don't have to come over and bring all your stuff. Or I don't have to come to your house with all my stuff. It's crazy.''
The truth was, it would be easier for Lilly to control her feelings for Miley.
''Err, okay...'' Miley said. She didn't try to hide her disappointement, and Lilly felt somewhat bad when she saw this. Maybe Oliver's idea would help after all...
''Miley, I was wondering if you would like to go on a date with Oliver and me.'' Lilly asked her.
Miley frowned, surprised. ''Mommy say what?''
''We found you someone.'' Lilly explained. ''Well Oliver is taking care of it actually. He told me he knew someone perfect for you...His words, not mine.'' She added quickly.
Miley forced herself to smile, acting happy for Lilly. She was hurt that Lilly was trying to set her up with someone else. She obviously wanted to get rid off her, and even if it was painful for Miley, she did understand.
''Oh okay. Sounds great.'' She replied, trying to sound enthusiast. Lilly smiled.
I'm gonna have to pretend to like somebody else. Oh my gosh, how can I even think about that? I can't do it. It's like cheated on Lilly, my Lilly. This situation is so damn crazy. I can't take it anymore ! Unless... unless I use this date to get what I want... Lilly. What if I was right about her liking me... What if I was making her jealous...? That date wasn't that bad anymore...
Miley grinned.
''What?'' Lilly frowned.
''Nothing... I just really can't wait to be Friday night.'' That time, she was meaning it.
