Sweet Dad of Mine, chapter 2
''Oh my god !''' Oliver exclaimed.
''What?'' Miley said, grumpy.
''It's Lilly... with her dad!''
Miley turned around. ''What?!''
''There!'' Oliver said pointing at the other side of the street.
Miley's eyes were wide opened. She never saw Lilly's dad. And she would have never thought she would one day...
''I can't believe it !'' Oliver started running towards them, leaving a stunned Miley alone.
''Hey Lilly! Mr Truscott...''
''Hi! Dad, you remember my friend...''
''Oliver,'' her dad cut. ''Gosh, you're like a real man now!''
''Yeah; push ups and all. I even have some chest hair...''
''Oh, shut up Oliver!'' Lilly said.
''Come on, Lilly, you don't know how important it is for a guy to have chest hair! Congratulations boy!''
''Hi,'' Miley hesitantly said. She had quietly joined them.
''Hi...'' Lilly's dad said, confused.
''oh, dad, this is Miley, my best friend.''
''Oh, Hi!'' he said with a big smile. ''Nice to meet you!'' he added shaking Miley's hand.
''Nice to meet you too.''
''So, I see you got rid off Jane, Lil.'' He said with a smile.
''Yeah...''
They stayed silent, remembering Lilly and Oliver's ex bestfriend.
''ok...'' Lilly's dad let out ''you better get going...I don't want you to be late because of me.''
Lilly hugged her dad goodbye, and they headed towards school.
''Wow! I can't believe your dad's back.'' Oliver said.
Lilly smiled. Her neither.
Lilly and Miley were at the beach, siting at Rico's. Jackson was behing the counter, working.
''So, how things going with your dad?'' Miley asked.
''Good I guess. But he just got here... We haven't had much time to really talk yet. It's weird though because I feel like he's totally different from before. I mean, he told me he stopped drinking, and that he got a job here, in Malibu.''
''So he's going to stay...''
''Yeah...I think so.''
Lilly secretely hoped he would stay with them. She missed her dad, even if they had a rough patch before.
''Jackson, turn up the sound, I wanna hear that.'' Miley suddenly asked.
Hannah Montana was on a news show.
''... ''What I don't need'', the new song of Hannah Montana, could also resume how the public welcomed this new hit: what we don't need.'' The presentator said, laughing at his joke. ''It seems like this new hit won't be on the chart this time...It's the first time a Hannah's song is such a failure. Does it signal the end of The Montana Era? I guess we will see it soon. Let's hope she will get back on the road of success soon... Now, our breaking news with...''
Lilly, and Jackson were stunned. They looked at Miley, concerned. She was like frozen. Her eyes were riveted on the screen, in a state of shock.
''Wow.'' was all what Lilly found to say.
''Miles, you're okay?'' Jackson asked, concerned.
Miley got up and ran.
She stormed in her house.
''Dad?!'' she called.
Her dad Robbie came down from the stairs.
''Hey bud...'' He froze when he saw Miley's expression. ''I take it you heard about Hannah's bad patch...''
Lilly ran into the house and looked at Miley and her dad.
''Bad patch? It's not just a bad patch.'' Miley cried. ''It's the first time in three years ! Hannah has never ever had a bad patch!''
''Miley, calm down. It's just the first day your song's out. The fans didn't have any time to really listen to it...''
''Yeah, Lilly's right bud. I'm sure everything will be fine in a few days. Your song is gonna be a huge success, as usual.''
The next morning, Miley turned on the TV. The show wasn't on yet, so she went to the computer. She needed to see the critics of her new single. She went on some fan sites. She logged on a few forums.
She clicked on every topic related to her new song.
''Hey Miley,'' Lilly said, entering her house. She sat next to Miley, on the same chair. Miley noticed, and despite her anxiety right now, she couldn't help but shiver. Her arm was touching Lilly's.
''I don't like Hannah's new song. It sounds completely different.'' Lilly read. ''I can't wait for her next single, to forget this one...What do you guys think?''
Miley grinned.
''Come on, it's just one post,'' Lilly tried to comfort her. She looked for another one. ''Here, look at that. 'I love Hanna. I love her music, I love her style. She's so beautiful ! I wish I could met her one day. Although, I hate...' '' Lilly stopped and quickly clicked to change the page.
Miley groaned. ''Just forget it.'' She stood up, slowly pushing Lilly away, and went to sit on the couch.
She took the remote and turned on the sound of the TV.
''it's now official. Hannah is down the chart. Everyone starts to wonder if this is the beginning of the end of...''
Miley shut the TV off. Lilly looked at, worried and sad for her.
''Miley... I'm sorry.'' Lilly said, puttin a hand on Miley's thigh as she sat down. Miley avoided to look at her, but Lilly could see she had teary eyes.
''I wish I could do anything to make you feel better.'' She sadly added.
The girls stayed silent. Lilly laid back on the couch, next to Miley. After a while, she felt Miley's head on her shoulder. She rested her head on hers and took Miley's hand in hers. They intertwined their fingers.
Miley started to feel different. She was forgetting about Hannah, to only think about Lilly. Lilly who was right next to her. Lilly who was holding her hand. Lilly who was there for her.
Lilly desperately wanted to kiss Miley. She could smell the sweet perfume of Miley's hair and it was torturing her. Her touch, her essence, everything was making her desire grow.
Lilly's heart began beating faster. Miley was slowly massaging Lilly's hand with her thumb. She put her mouth in Lilly's neck, who shivered. Lilly pulled back her head and looked at Miley, trying to read in her to see what Miley wanted from her.
Miley's eyes were staring her lips. Lilly took it as a sign, and moved closer to Miley. Miley made the rest of the way and kissed her.
The girls moaned at this missing sensation. It's been too long. Lilly laid Miley down the couch and deeply kissed. She then touched her lightly with her lips on her jawline to the neck. Miley's hands grabbed even more tightly Lilly's waist as she moaned. Lilly smiled. She missed hearing Miley that way.
But suddenly Miley pushed her away. She looked completely upset.
''Lilly, stop.'' She said, putting her hands on Lilly's forearms.
Lilly was shocked by Miley's sudden change of heart.
''wh... What?'' She babbled.
''I... I can't. I'm sorry.'' She said straightened up.
Miley wanted to get up, but Lilly was siting on her laps.
''Lilly, you're blocking me...''
''Oh, err, sorry.'' Lilly apologized, still confused, but getting off Miley.
Miley stood up and arranged her hair. She looked over Lilly, still sitting on the couch.
''Lilly... I...'' She started to say, wanting to explain herself.
''I know... Teenager... lesbian... can't...too hard... friends...bla bla bla.'' Lilly said.
Miley didn't reply. Yeah, it was basically what she was going to say. She sighed and sat back on the couch.
''I'm really really sorry. I wish I wasn't like that. I wish I could do this.''
Lilly laughed. ''Yeah, me too...''
She looked at Miley, with a small smile. ''So where do we go from here?''
''Friends...?''
''Right.'' Lilly nodded, a little disappointed.
''You think you can do that?'' Miley worried.
''I'd take anything from you right now...'Friend' is already something... I don't want you out of my life...'' She stopped a few seconds as she became more serious. She looked at Miley more deeply.
''However, you have to know that I'm not giving up on you. I'll wait for you, no matter how long it takes you to realize that I'm right here...''
Then, she remembered her phone call with Miley the day before, and on a lighter tone, she added: ''I loathe you too, you know...'' She winked.
Miley laughed.
''Well, I gotta go. I have to meet my dad.''
''And I gotta write a new song.'' Miley grinned.
''Yeah... Try to do a better job this time.'' Lilly teased as she got up and headed towards the door.
Miley threw a pillow at her from the couch. Lilly avoided it.
''What do you want to be with me anyway?'' Miley suddenly asked.
''So I can Kiss you anytime I want...'' Lilly seriously answered. She blew a kiss to Miley.
She then left the house.
Oh boy, this girl's got my heart... Miley thought, shivering.
