I was all ready and set to go. But Nick was nowhere to be seen. Once again I doubted that everything even happened. Come to think of it, it did seem really surreal. But I had his ring and his dog tag both still with me - one on the finger, the other around my neck. He had to be here somewhere. I sighed and walked out of my room.

"Nick? Nicholas? Guy, that's totally giving me a heart attack if you won't answer now?" I heard a low chuckle and glared at the staircase. He was downstairs, really? I huffed and walked downstairs in my flip-flops. On the last stair I tripped though. Waiting to feel the hardwood floor, I was surprised to feel two strong arms wrap around me.

I looked up into his handsome face. He smiled down at me and pecked my nose. I sighed and let him pull me up on my two feet straight again. He put an arm around my shoulders and hugged me to his side.

"Where've you been? I've been looking all over for you!" He chuckled and kissed the side of my head gently as we walked into the living room.

"I was down here waiting for you. I never thought you wouldn't think of that. Sorry…" I smiled and kissed him as he suddenly led me back outside of the living room. I followed him anyway.

"Why did we just walk into the living room and then walk out of it again?" Nick chuckled and shrugged.

"Stalling… we have about five more minutes. And where we have to be is so close to here that I had to stall. Want to take another walk around the living room?" I giggled and shoved him playfully.

"No, thank you. Let's just go to wherever you're planning on taking me. I'm guessing it's nothing fancy?" He shook his head.

"No. I know that you usually don't like cheesy stuff… well, you like that too but not all the time. It's just during the day, that's not really the time for romantic stuff. You'll see and you'll have fun. I promise." I shrugged as we walked out of the house. He grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers.

"Where are you taking me now?" Nick shook his head though.

"I'm not telling you. You'll see it soon anyways. And I know you'll love it because I asked your mom what you liked doing around here." I looked at him curiously as he just stared ahead, this time not looking at me. Oh, he didn't want me to read him like an open book. Well, we'll see… What did I like to do around here?

I liked the smoothies… and the food. But he wasn't taking me to eat something because we weren't heading towards the city but more like the docks. Aw, he wanted to take a walk along the beach? That's cute! But not really a lot. That couldn't be the big secret, right? I sighed and looked around a bit. Gosh, what do I like? Why dose Mom know and why does Nick know and why don't I know?

"I really don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what I like to do. That's so weird!" Nick chuckled and kissed the side of my head. Honestly, I was not used to PDA. And it wasn't that much, I know, but just this simple kiss on the side of my head was new to this… us. I was incredibly happy about it though, of course. I smiled up at him with the most honest smile I had ever shown anyone. Well, it's the one I show Nick all the time.

"Yeah, I knew you wouldn't know. And why are you smiling so big?" I shrugged and leaned my head on his shoulder.

"Because of this. We are walking around here holding hands, you kiss me out here… it's new but I like it." Nick smiled down at me and nodded.

"That's true. I love it though." I rolled my eyes playfully and sighed a bit.

"This is awesome… now where are we going?" Nick rolled his eyes and glanced back at me.

"We're there now anyways." I looked around and saw… nothing. Well, the ocean and the docks. Okay, what?

"Where's there?" He laughed and pointed at the docks.

"There… over there, see the docks? Yeah, that's where we're going. And now come on, let's go over there." I sighed and nodded. What the hell? Excuse my French, I just don't get it. We could've chatted with Ryan some more.

"Really, that's where we're going. I'd much rather have lunch in a Restaurant than… that." Nick turned to me with a smirk on his face.

"You'll change your mind soon enough." I shrugged as we finally reached the docks. Nick pulled me over to a guy. I looked at him curiously.

"What are we doing?" He chose to ignore me as we finally reached the guy. Oh nice… The guy turned to us and only then did I recognize him. This was the guy with the jet-skis! I smiled at him.

"Hey!" He smiled back at me and nodded.

"Hello, Ms Miley." I giggled as Nick put his arm around my waist.

"The jet-ski is ready." I turned to Nick with my jar wide open. We were going to ride a jet-ski? This was awesome!

"Good, then." The guy handed Nick a key and patted his back before he walked off. I turned to Nick, smiling brightly.

"I love you." He laughed and kissed my forehead.

"I love you too." I giggled and grabbed his hand again as we started walking to the jet-ski that was reserved for us. He handed me the jacket we were supposed to wear and helped me slip it on. Thankfully I was smart enough to wear a bikini underneath my tank top. I could take it off along with my shorts and slide into the jacket without any problem.

Nick took off his shirt and put on his jacket. Let me tell you; that boy has a body… gosh, he's hot. He looked at me and smiled. Just as he wanted to get onto the jet-ski I stopped him though. He looked at me confused.

"What are you doing? Don't you want to jet-ski?" I giggled.

"I do… just… I want to ride the jet-ski." He seemed to not get my hint at first but then he started shaking his head furiously.

"No, I know you. You're going to be a little speeding devil and we'll end up under the jet-ski instead of having fun on it." I rolled my eyes.

"I promise you that I won't crash it and I won't speed either…" Hell, I won't keep that promise. I'm an experienced driver when it came to jet-skis so he shouldn't have to worry. Nick sighed and rubbed a hand over his face. He leaned his head back.

"Fine…" I squealed and hugged him, kissing his cheek quickly before I jumped onto the jet-ski, of course sitting at the front. Nick reluctantly got onto it behind me and put his arms around my waist. I pressed my butt against him and he groaned.

"Are you sure you even want to ride this? We could just go back to your room and…" I giggled and leaned back against him and looking up at him.

"We can do that after we rode this." He groaned a bit as I leaned forward again and started the engine. I giggled a little as we drove off. Nick's arms automatically wrapped tighter around me and I bit my lip. We were going so slow…

"Ready?" I heard Nick's breath hitch and he pulled me even closer.

"Don't go too fast…" I laughed and looked at him quickly.

"I won't… I'll go even faster." Nick seemed to have wanted to say something but was totally cut off when I suddenly sped off. His grip on me was so tight; I wasn't sure where he took all the strength and how I was still alive. I was laughing the whole way, driving around a bit, of course being totally crazy while doing that. I wanted to make a heart in the water but of course I couldn't.

I started to stop driving after some time and randomly stopped somewhere on the water. I turned around to Nick and grinned at him. His hair was standing everywhere. I giggled and ran a hand through his tangled mess.

"You look adorable." He sighed and pecked my lips gently. His lips lingered there a little while longer.

"I can't believe I'm not even mad at you. Damn you for having such an effect on me." I laughed and kissed him again.

"Yeah, well, I'm just that cute." He rolled his eyes.

"You wish…" I gasped playfully and glared at him.

"I am and you know it."

"Whatever… now let me drive." I shook my head.

"Hell no, I'm having way too much fun with this." He sighed and kissed me again.

"Fine, but I'll definitely get a reward for this." I giggled.

"Maybe… and maybe you'll like it." I winked at him and turned back around. I started off and drove in a circle before I stopped once again and turned around to quickly peck his lips before speeding off towards the docks. Every fun had to end at some point. We got off of the jet-ski and pulled off the safety-jacket thing.

Nick did the same and I just stared at him. What? It's not my fault he is so hot and well-built… I sighed a bit as I handed him the jacket. He chuckled and lay it down next to the jet-ski for whatever reason. After he did that he put his arms on my waist and pulled me a little closer.

"What?" I shrugged and leaned up to kiss him. There were a lot of times when I just couldn't resist him. One of those times being now. He was just too hot for his own good.

"Nothing, you're just extremely sexy." He laughed and kissed me again before he let go off me to grab my hand. We walked away from the jet-ski without taking the jackets with me. After I'd asked him why he wouldn't take them he said that's what the guy said to do. I had just shrugged and let them be.

We walked along the dock slowly, talking and just enjoying each other's presence. That is until there was a squeal and a girl running up to us. My eyes widened while Nick chuckled and looked at me.

"Dodging or not?" I looked at him with my mouth open - which must've looked awkward. I had no idea what to do.

"Well, it's most likely your fan so…" I closed my mouth and shrugged a bit. He chuckled and kissed the side of my head. I guess we'd go for the latter…

"Oh my gosh, you two are… Are you really? I mean, I don't mean to be rude or anything but…" I giggled and looked at Nick. She was so cute. She wasn't even that much younger than me though. I looked at Nick as he glanced at me and then nodded.

"If we were to tell you if we are or not, would you tell someone else?" She giggled and shook her head.

"Well, if you were to tell me if you are or not and you would tell me to not say it I wouldn't." I laughed and nudged Nick. He would have to do the honor - he's the guy.

"Well then, yeah, we are and we ask you to not share the information." The girl squealed but put a hand over her mouth to keep it as quiet as possible. I giggled.

"Okay, I won't share… but can I get a picture? I mean, if you ever like… go out and say it that you are dating I can say I'm the first person to get a picture with you - if you ever admit the time you got together… whenever that was, I can also say when I got the picture. It'll be so awesome…" I giggled again at her excitement as Nick sighed a bit.

"Sure, hand me your camera." She stood next to me - I guess so I could hold Nick's hand - and I held the camera up. After taking a picture with my head on Nick's shoulder while he looked at me with that funny love struck look the girl only asked us to sign the camera as well.

"I can say I met you at different times and places, but please…" I nodded and grabbed the sharpie she handed us. I signed it 'Our little secret' and with my name. Nick signed his name a little more to the left with a little smiley faces that winked. I laughed and shook my head.

"You are such a dork." He shrugged and handed the girl the sharpie back. She smiled at us while Nick answered.

"But I'm your dork." I wanted to lean up to kiss him but the girl awed and I had to giggle and pull back. I looked at her and she blushed.

"Oh sorry… you're cute together. Just so you know, I'm totally rooting for you. Have been since I heard you two were supposedly together in 07 which I now know you were because of Miles To Go but… you know, I'm going to leave now." I hugged her - what, I'm a hugger - and watched her skip off. I giggled and turned to Nick.

"You are not annoyed or anything that you just had to admit you were dating me and you had to take a picture and you had to sign the camera that the picture was taken with?" He chuckled and wrapped an arm around me.

"No, I'm not annoyed. I love you, why would I be annoyed?" I shrugged and played with his curls as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Well, because you never were one to go public and now we did and…" He shook his head and kissed my forehead.

"First of all, we didn't necessarily go public, we just told one person. I agreed to go out with you and if that happens, then fine. She was obviously your fan and you said you didn't want to lie to your fans so we didn't. She said she wouldn't tell until we did - another plus. And I love you, I couldn't be annoyed just because of this." I kissed him gently, letting my lips linger on his a little longer than I usually would have.

"You're the best…" He smiled and we started walking again.

"Okay, where to now, Mr. Prince Charming?" He gasped playfully.

"It was about me, I knew it!" I rolled my eyes, giggling.

"Well, duh, of course it was. You called me Cinderella all the time because you knew it was my favorite Disney movie."

"That's true."

"Well, tell me where we're going now." He sighed.

"We're going to get lunch." I nodded.

"Okay, this can be good… where?"

"Well, you'll find out soon. But I had people tell me that you liked that restaurant/diner." I sighed.

"You do realize that I like pretty much every restaurant/diner around here? Or anywhere? I like food, Nicholas, get that in your head!" He chuckled and kissed my cheek.

"Well, I heard it's your favorite." I sighed. He had to make it difficult for me, didn't he? I didn't have a favorite around here…

"Whatever, it better be a good one." He chuckled.

"I promise you, it is."

"Well, then, why are we heading towards the beach when you said we were going to have lunch?"

"You'll see." I sighed. Whatever, I could wait… No, I can't.

"When will I see?"

"Soon, see, we're there." We stopped at the beach. I looked around confused.

"There where?" He chuckled and pointed towards a blanket. I smiled at him.

"Aw, we're having a picnic?" He nodded as we head towards the blanket. He was just too cute sometimes.

"That's so cute, Nicky." He shook his head.

"Let's say… okay, it is kind of cute." I giggled as we sat down. He chuckled and opened the basket that was on the blanket. He handed me a sandwich and I just took a bite. I knew that he knew what I liked so I trusted him with that.

"Hm, it's good, what's that?" It didn't taste like my favorite.

"Tuna…" I spit it out immediately. I liked Sushi, but I hated Tuna. Don't ask me why, I'm weird like that.

"Ew! Why would you give me that?" Nick chuckled.

"I wanted you to hold it so I could give you yours. That's mine you just took a bite of and mine you just spit out." I blushed and handed him the rest of his sandwich. I didn't take that big of a bite anyway.

"Oh, sorry… where's mine?" He handed me my sandwich and I looked at it for a few moments until I nodded.

"Okay, thanks…. ah, this is nice. You and me and the ocean…" Nick chuckled.

"And sandwiches." I rolled my eyes.

"You always say I ruin the moments…"

"That's because you do. But you can't blame me, we are not alone."

"Whatever you say, cowboy." Nick laughed and started eating his sandwich. We ate in silence, every now and then glancing at each other, smiling when we'd catch each other's eye. I finished first. Hey, I'm a growing girl, I need food.

Nick pulled two cans of diet coke out of the basket and handed me one. I smiled and opened it, taking a sip. He knew what I liked, alright.

"Thanks. You know, we should do this more often. Nothing fancy, just having fun and eating stuff that's not lobster and no chef made but you. You can cook pretty good, boyfriend." He smiled at me.

"Thanks girlfriend, but I didn't make those sandwiches…. Paolo, the greatest chef of the world, made them, just for us." I rolled my eyes.

"I'm sure…" Nick laughed.

"I made them but of course you know it. I'm glad you like it." I giggled and scooted closer to him, snuggling into his side quickly. He put an arm around me.

"I don't like it… I love it." He chuckled and kissed my head. I sighed happily and looked around.

"See, that's how it was supposed to be all along…. we were supposed to be able to go out together and not worry about paparazzi. I mean, we will have to worry soon probably since they know you're here but it'll be okay. I know that because we're strong than ever." Nick turned to me and smiled. He nodded and kissed my head.

"Yeah, we are. And you know why? It's because I love you and I can handle it. Two years ago, the thought of going public with you intimidated me because I never could really believe that I was lucky enough to be with you. I was scared that the press would tear you down since you were dating me and who was I at that time? A little boy trying to be famous - no one big or interesting. I thought they would tell you to stop dating me and in the end they did anyway.

Disney told us to stop being together and in the end, I believed them. They told me I was holding you back and I thought I was. I mean, I know I wasn't because we wrote so many great songs together that ended up as hits - singles or not. We were always good for each other. But now I'm not scared anymore. I know that we won't break up because of people telling us that we should. It's because I love you that I won't let that happen again." I smiled at him brightly and leaned over to kiss him. What he said was right though.

"You're right… I love you, Nicky-boy." He chuckled and kissed my nose.

"Love you too, Miley-girl… That was lame." I nodded and laughed.

"It was, I just didn't want to say it and hurt your feelings." He rolled his eyes.

"Whatever - I still love you, Mi." I nodded and sighed.

"I love you too, Nicholas." It was like his actual name was my nickname for him because everyone called him Nick - even his mom. It made me feel special in some way. And I knew that I was special - to him, I'd always be.

Yo, yo, yo, peepz :D Wazzup? I'm in a better mood - obviously ;) I was shopping today so yeah... I hope you liked it - I know it wasn't really the best and all but whatever. I wrote it and you either like it or not - let me know in a review, that'd be awesome :) Love you all :D
