Diclaimer : I do not own Hannah Montana
Run Baby Run, Chapter 6
''Hey Lilly!'' Miley greeted as Lilly entered her house.
''Hi...''Wow, miley, you look great.'' She said, as she looked up and down Miley's body. She blushed a little as she realized what she was doing.
''So, erm, how's Lola?'' Lilly asked, trying to hide her embarrassement.
''She's sleeping... I think...'' Miley said.
''You think?'' Lilly frowned.
''It's either that, or the battery is dead...'' Miley shrugged with a smile. Lilly smiled back.
''When do you meet up with Leslie?'' Lilly asked, trying to sound casual.
''Actually, I'm a ten minutes late.'' Miley said, looking at her watch.
''Sorry. Well I better get going so you can get going too.''
''Well, you can stay here if you want until Lola wakes up. You shouldn't wake her up.''
''Miley, I'm not not going to stay alone...''
''Jackson's here, so you won't be alone.'' Miley cut her off.
Lilly thought for a moment. Lola was soon going to get up anyway. ''Okay. I'll stay.'' She smiled.
''You could spend the night here tonight too...'' Miley suggested. ''So that we can work on the report.''
''I... I don't know Miley... I don't have any clothes with me...''
''You're going home this afternoon...'' Miley frowned. ''You can pick up some clothes then and come back later...'' She desperatly wanted Lilly here with her tonight.
''I guess I could do that...'' Lilly said unsure. But when she saw Miley's joy, her doubts disappeared. She was going to spend some quality time with her. What more could she ask for? ''Call me when you're home, I'll come over then.''
''Okay.'' Miley nodded. ''Well, I guess I'll see you later then.''
''Yep... Have a great date.'' Lilly said, suddenly saddened.
It broke Miley's heart, but then again, she couldn't say anything. She wasn't supposed to. She disappeared through the back door, living Lilly alone in the living room.
When Miley arrived at Rico's, Leslie wasn't there. Boys, always the ones who are late... She said in her mind. Well, not exactly, but hey, nobody heard that...
Miley had never been a patient kind of a girl, and pretty soon, she tapping her fingers on the table. Leslie arrived fifteen minutes later. He sat in front of Miley, a big smile on his lips.
''Hey beautiful.''
''Hi...'' Miley said. She then stopped, hopping for an apology... which didn't come.
''Ready to go?'' Leslie asked.
''Go where?''
''I have a practice game. I thought you might wanna watch me play football.''
Miley's mouth fell open from disbelief.
''I know, I would be stunned too if the most popular guy of my school in...''
''Ego boy say what?'' Miley exclaimed, cutting him off. ''I'm not gonna spend the afternoon sitting on a bench watching some guys running after each other, or after a balloon!''
''I... I don't understand...'' Leslie said, taken aback. A girl never had said 'no' to any one of his proposition.
''Let me make that clear for you. I. Don't. Wanna. Watch. Your. Stupid. Game !''
''Well, in that case, I guess we can't date anymore. I need a girl that would be comprehensive and supportive of my career.'' Leslie said standing up, a superior look on his face. ''Girls... I'm available.'' He said in a singing voice, opening his arms. A few gilrs came running next to him, and threw themselves in his embrace. Miley rolled her eyes. At least, that didn't change.
As soon as Miley got back, she grabbed her cellphone and dialed Lilly's number.
''hello?'' Lilly said.
''Hey, it's Miley.''
''Miley? What's up? How's your date going?''
''Not well. I'm home if you still wanna come over...''
''Errr okay. What happened?''
''I'll tell you when you're here.'' Miley said, smiling at Lilly's curiosity.
''Well, I'm on my way!'' Lilly exclaimed through the phone.
''Kay.''
They hung up, and Miley headed to the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of water in the fridge. She rested her elbows on the counter, thinking as she was taking a sip of water. Do I have a concert tonight? oh... right. No Hannah Montana. Maan, I miss her. Why doesn't she exist here? What happened?
Miley was pulled out her thoughts when she heard someone knocking on her door. Miley went to open the door. Lilly.
''Did you... did you just knock?'' Miley asked surprised. Lilly never knocked.
''Well, yeaah ! We always knocked or ring a bell when you go to someone else's house. It's called being polite.'' Lilly said, smiling.
Miley giggled.
''Can I come in?'' Lilly inquired, still standing on the porch, Lola in one arm, and the bag on the other.
''Oh, yeah sure. Sorry.'' Miley said. Lilly got in, and put down the bag. Miley closed the door and leaned against the door, her eyes riveted on Lilly's silhouette.
Suddenly, a face appeared in front of her eyes. Lilly's. Her lips were moving, but she couldn't get what she was saying, still too spaced out for her brain to function normally.
''...right?'' she finally caught from Lilly's mouth.
''Right...?'' Miley said, unsure.
''You weren't listening, were you?'' Lilly said, stiffed, her hands on her hips.
''Nope... sorry.'' Miley admitted, looking down.
''I was saying that Leslie probably was all over himself and that was why you came back early. Am I right?''
''Yes, actually. You're not far from the truth.''
''I'm never far from it. Never !'' Lilly beamed.
''Great! After ego boy, ego girl!'' Miley joked.
''hey !!'' Lilly exclaimed.
Miley giggled. ''He wanted me to go to his practice thingy, watch him play with loving eyes, like a dutiful girlfriend.'' She explained. ''But I'm not...''
''...that kind of girl.'' Lilly finished with a shy smiled.
''Yeah.'' Miley smiled.
''Well, too bad for him ! He's lost an amazing girl!'' Lilly blurted out. She felt immediatly guilty and blushed a little.
''Thanks...'' Miley said.
''So, erm, the report!'' Lilly exclaimed, changing the subject.
''Yeah, right. That's why you're here. Right. Erm, ok... Let's settle down in the living room. Let me get my laptop.''
Miley ran upstairs as Lilly sat down on the floor between the couch and the coffee table. As soon as Miley was out of sight, Lilly tapped her head on the table. Very smooth, Truscott!
''Okaaay,'' Miley cried, as she put her laptop in front of Lilly. ''Let's get it over with!''
As soon as Miley's hands were ready to tape on the keyboard, Lola started crying.
''You got to be kidding me !'' she winced. Lilly giggled.
Miley looked at her with begging eyes. ''huh huh, Stewart, your turn!'' Lilly frowned.
Miley rocked the baby slightly. But once again, it didn't work. What would mom do??? Come on think... What did she used to do when I was a baby? She sang... She sang to me... That's it!
''Booyah!'' Miley beamed, raising her fist in the air.
''What?'' Lilly frowned, looking up from the laptop. Miley didn't reply and walked towards the piano. Lilly followed, intrigued. She saw Miley put Lola in the chair and sat down at the piano. What the heck is she doing? Her question was answered when Miley started playing a song on the piano. It was a Hannah song. She could do that here, since Hannah didn't exist.
Twinkle, twinkle, little Star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle twinkle, little Star
How I wonder what you are
Lola stopped crying, so Miley stopped playing. Lilly couldn't hide the amazement in her eyes.
''Guess you finally found a way to sooth the baby down.'' She said shyly.
''Looks like it'' Miley smiled. ''But it's a freaking doll!''
''Yep, but the chip in it is very sensitive to anything susceptible to calm a baby down, such as rocking, soothing, or music.'' Lilly explained, very smart-like.
Miley looked at her funny.
''What?! I read the manual!'' Lilly pouted.
''that makes one of us...'' Miley smiled. ''Anyway, now that everything's back to normal, let's get it done!''
They headed back to the coffee table, and worked silently. Lilly couldn't stop thinking about Miley's sweet voice. It was like a siren, like a spell that she had casted on her.
They spent the next hour working on the report. Lilly and Miley couldn't really focus on the project though. Their minds were too much concentrated on the other. Miley was dying to kiss Lilly, and Lilly was asking herself what it would be like to have her lips against Miley's.
''Okay, let's take a break,'' Lilly exclaimed.
''Oh, okay! Whatever you want...'' Miley responded. She was glad the torture was over. She stood on her feet and offered her hand to Lilly. Lilly grabbed, not even thinking. She immediately felt tingles all over her arm. She shuddered unvoluntarily.
''You're cold?'' Miley frowned.
''Nah...'' Lilly said. She was going to lie and invent an excuse, but she didn't want to. What was the point?
Miley looked at her intensely. They were still holding hands, Lilly didn't bother, she shuddered... She could easily interpret all these as positive signs... But what if she was wrong? What if her feelings for Lilly and their history were biasing her?
''I'm kind of thirsty, though.'' Lilly let out.
Miley nodded, and reluctantly let go of Lilly's hand. She headed towards the kitchen.
''What do you want? Cold, hot drink?''
''It's almost 6pm, maybe we could go on you dalconide and have some hot coco?'' Lilly suggested.
Miley smiled, appreciatively. ''Hot coco it is !''
A few minutes later, the girls settled on the Stewart's bench. The night was rather cold. No wonder, it was February...Miley put a blnaket on their legs as Lilly held her mug for her. She handed it back to Miley and looked at the chocolate.
''Awww, you even put marshmallows in it!''
''Yeah... I know you love that,'' Miley shrugged. Sweet niblets.
''How do you know?'' Lilly said, rather dumbfounded. ''I've never told you that...''
Yes you did... well, not really you, you. But it was you, I guess... Man, it's so confusing !
''Hot coco with marshmallows ! Come on Lilly, it's everyone's favorite ! It wasn't hard to figure this out!'' Miley lied.
''Yeah, I guess you're right,'' Lilly smiled. Miley relaxed. Lilly had bought it.
They looked at the sky and the ocean in silence. Miley soon felt Lilly's head on her shoulder. She stopped breathing. She must have fallen asleep, she wouldn't do such a thing consciously! Miley said to herself.
''It's so beautiful!'' She heard Lilly breathe out.
So, it wasn't a coincidence. Lilly had leaned her head on purpose. ''Yes, it is...'' Miley simply replied. She was too tensed to think straight. Her heart was racing.
''All these shades of yellow, red, orange, on the sea...'' Lilly continued, wonder in her voice. ''If I had any talent, I would probably write a poem...'' she added thoughtful.
Miley could only hear the sweet sound of Lilly's voice. She could have the music, but she couldn't dinstinguate the note. She was too lost in the melody to pay attention. Besides, she was trying to calm herself. She had too, or her heart was going to explode. But then, she felt Lilly put a hand on her arm, and then she knew she couldn't pretend anymore. She couldn't control herself anymore.
She shifted, making Lilly straightened and looked at her. She had an interrogating look. But Miley didn't bother say anything, she just crashed her lips on Lilly's and kissed her like it was the last thing she will ever do on Earth. Lilly quickly broke the embrace.
''What are you doing?''
''Nothing... I'm sorry.'' Miley said, walking away. Lilly grabbed her arms and pulled her back.
''No Miley, it wasn't 'nothing'. What the hell was that?''
''I... I... '' Miley didn't know what to say. Well she knew what to say actually, but she didn't know where to start, how to say it...
''Miley...'' Lilly called. ''Why did you kiss me.''
Miley looked back at Lilly. There she was, she had to do it now. ''I like you Lilly...'' She blurted out hesitantly. Lilly was looking at her, her face not showing any emotion.
''No that's a lie, Lilly...''
Lilly opened her mouth, ready to say something, but Miley cut her off.
''It's a lie because I don't like you. I love you. I am in love with you.''
Lilly didn't say anything. She couldn't say anything. She was not taken aback because she wasn't surprised. She did feel something about Miley. However, Miley loved her. It wasn't a crush, it was something way more than that.
''It's so hard Lilly to not be able to be with you, like I would like to be.'' Miley added, looking at Lilly right through her eyes, her voice shaking. She stopped, trying to pull herself together.
''How can you love me Miley? We've known each other for less than a week!''
''When you meet the one person for you, it doesn't take months to realize it. Heck, it doesn't even take seconds! You just look at them, and that's it. It's there.'' She took a deep breath and kept on. ''I fell for you the minute I met you. I don't want to fight it, I just want to live it, because the emotions I feel when I'm around you, are the strongest and happiest.''
''Miley... I '' Lilly started.
''I know what you're gonna say, Lilly.'' Miley cut her off. ''And it's okay. I admit it, I thought you could love me back. I don't know what I was thinking. So, since that precise moment, I'm gonna try my best to... move on. And I promise my feelings for you won't stand in the way of your relationship with Oliver. Actually, if you want me to just, you know, disappear...'' Miley stopped talking as she noticed Lilly's intense look. What is she thinking? Man, I screwd everything up.
Lilly came close to her. She needed to know. She needed to see if the tingles she had felt during the kiss were real. She was inches from Miley's, her hands on Miley's forearms. Miley had stopped breathing and was looking at Lilly, afraid. Why was Lilly standing so close? Why was she looking at her like that? Why could she recognize the sparkle in Lilly's eyes, the same sparkles her Lilly had these last six months. She saw Lilly leaned towards her, Miley slightly pulled away. ''I'm sorry Lilly, but I'd rather not...''
However, Lilly didn't listen. She crashed her lips on Miley's, kissing her. She pulled back a few seconds later, amazed. It was real. Miley smiled, wondered.
''Wow.'' Lilly let out, touching her lips. Miley smiled even more. Yeah, wow...
Once again, the girls leaned towards each other. They were attracted like magnets. Nothing could stop the collision. Their lips met in a tender kiss.
