(Oliver's POV)

I turned my eyes so that they were directly facing theirs and was surprised at what I found...oh so surprised.

There standing before me was none other than Becca Weller, my old girlfriend. You see, Becca had moved away to New Jersey because her dad got transferred. Neither of us believe in long term relationships so we broke up. Okay, so maybe the only reason I said that I didn't want to stay together was so I could have a better chance with Lilly. Anyway, although she moved, here she is with this huge grin plastered across her tan face. I am basically speechless because I had never prepared myself for this situation. My eyes are wide and that little voice inside my head is saying "Am I seeing things?"

"Oliver!!!" She screams and flings her arms around me so tight I could hardly breathe. Yet, I managed to choke out,

"W-wow. B-becca. What are you doing here?"

"I am just visiting. Dad had a business trip and said I could come along." She then pulled away and gave a pouting face while asking,

"Aren't you happy to see me?"

"Uh...yea. I'm just surprised."

"You don't seem very happy. Is that any way to treat your girlfriend?"

"Becca, you're not my girlfriend. We broke up, remember?"

"Well, yea. But I'm here now so can't we just get back together?"

"For what, a week?"

"No!...four days...?"

"You expect me to get back with you for four days and then just act like nothing happened?"

"Oliver, why are you being like this?" What does she want me to do, scream out 'Oh, I just told my crush I thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world'? What is she, nuts? Before I could answer, I saw her coming closer to me. She put her hands on my chest and looked deep into my eyes. I was about to take a step back in hopes of getting her off of me, but it was too late. She had me. She closed her eyes and pressed her lips deep against mine. Her lips tasted like vanilla and if you know me, you'll know I'm more of a chocolate kind of guy. I could tell there was really no magic right then and there. No, I'm not asking her to eat a chocolate bar before we kiss, I'm just asking for her...to not kiss me. Okay so I may be known as "Smokin' Oken" but truth is, I don't get that much lip interaction so even though I was reluctant to pull away at first, I held our position for just a little longer. That is until I heard a voice and a familiar voice at that,

"Hey Oliver. I jus..." We both pulled away in sync and turned to see Lilly standing there with a...I guess you could say guilty...face.

"Oh...um...I-I'm sorry." I took a step away from Becca and towards Lilly and said,

"Look, Lil. I can explain."

"Oliver, why do you have to explain anything to her?" Becca questioned emphasizing the 'her'. I looked back in Lilly's direction and saw her looking down,

"Lil..."

"No. It's okay. I'm sorry to interrupt...and you don't have to explain anything to me." I don't get this. When I saw Lilly making out with her ex-boyfriend I flipped out and now she's apologizing for barging in. It took me a minute to realize that it was probably because she had no feelings toward me other than ones derived from friendship. Maybe I could be with Becca for a week...uh, I mean four days...so that I can get over my little crush on Lilly. I looked at Becca and stared almost through her green eyes. I then looked at Lilly, though, and found her looking back at me. I almost disappeared into her eyes. That blue color so beautiful it looks like the ocean before the storm, the ones that dance when she's happy and get even deeper when she's upset. It was then that I realized I didn't have some stupid little crush on Lilly. I realized I was in love.

And to top it all off, I probably just screwed up everything.

(Lilly's POV)

Why am I so stupid? How could I actually for a second, think Oliver would like me as more than a friend? How could I think anyone would? Erik kissed another girl and now so did Oliver. How come I am always the one who at the end of the day is left alone? While I pondered thorugh many thoughts in my head, I walked back over to Rico's. My eyes were in my thoughts though so I almost walked into a stool.

"Woah. Watch where you're going Lil, or you're going to get hurt," Jackson said.

"More than I already have?" Jackson snickered a bit but then noticed how distant I seemed.

"Hey, what happened back there?" He asked in a gentle voice.

"Nothing."

"Come on, Lil. Just tell me."

"He was kissing another girl...Becca."

"Who's he?...Oooh. Oken, huh?"

"Yea."

"Becca, his old girlfriend, Becca?"

"Yea."

"And you're upset about this because you like him?"

"Yea," Ugh, he tricked me, "uhh...I mean no...of course not...where would you get that idea from, pssh?"

"Man, you sure have it bad, huh?"

"NO..okay, maybe. But please don't say anything! Miley doesn't even know."

"Ha. Who would of thought? Me knowing a secret about Miley's best friend before Miley even does."

"Yea, yea, yea. Just promise not to say anything."

"Promise."

"Good. But now what am I supposed to do...G-d I can't believe I just told you that." I muttered.

"Because you...I don't know why... but why don't you just tell him how you feel?"

"I can't do that."

"Yes you can."

"No, because it's obvious he doesn't like me."

"Come on. Of course he does."

"Does not other wise he wouldn't be sucking face with another girl."

"Why don't you use another guy to make him jealous?"

"Hellllo. I already did that...only I wasn't using him. Ugh, this sucks."

"Don't worry. Everything will work out. Why don't you just take a walk or something to take your mind off of it. Hey, maybe you can hang out with Miley. She's been saying you two haven't been spending much time with each other lately."

"Yea, I guess you're right. I will call Miley. Well thanks for help Jackson."

"No problem. And don't worry, you're secret is safe with me." I smiled at him and he smiled back. I reached over the counter and gave him a hug as well as a kiss on the cheek, just as an appreciative gesture.

"The J-Man is on fire." I giggled and said,

"Oh yea. He's smoking hot." I laughed and then turned around only to see Oliver standing before me. Boy, was I going to have some explaining to do.
