Things Have Changed

Chapter 21

Beach

I continued to watch Oliver clean the car until he was done and left.

We were so close once again! Now I'm debating whether what happened today was because Oliver liked me or what.

He said he didn't wanna forget about the almost kiss, so does that mean he likes me or did he just didn't think he forget about it?

He did lean in after I told him I didn't wanna forget about it either, but what if he really was doing something else then wanting to kiss me.

Anyone else think I'm overanalyzing? I think so because my brain is hurting!

Then my cell phone rang. I carelessly retrieved the phone from my pocket and saw that it was Kate. "Hello?" I greeted.

"Hey Miley, me and Lilly are at the beach right now, wanna join?" She asked.

Was I really in the mood to go down there right now? I did need to tell Lilly what happen, maybe she can make sense of it all.

"Sure Kate, See-ya in like 10 minutes," I hung up and went to put on a bathing suit.

After putting on my bathing suit and taking the necessary things I needed in a bag with me, I headed down stairs.

I was leaving when Jackson decided to unglue his eyes from the TV. "Where are you going? Gonna make out with your little boyfriend Oliver on his couch now?" He said trying to be funny.

"We weren't doing anything Jerkson!" I yelled at him and hit him with my bag before leaving.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I got to the beach I spotted Kate and Lilly rather quickly.

I set my towel down viciously and sat down with my arms crossed and my face still expressing anger.

"Um, is it safe to say what's up?" Kate asked me.

"Nothing is UP except my stupid brother!!" I roared.

"Okay…I'm going to go in the water now, join when you want." And the kate left.

"What did Jackson do now?" Lilly asked.

"Nothing really, he just messed everything up!"

"What did he mess up?"

"You know Oliver was over washing my dad's car today right?" I asked and Lilly nodded.

"Well we were having a good time and we ended up getting like drench so we went into the house to dry off. We were on my living room couch when he asked me about the other night when he was over. I said that I thought we were going to forget about it and he said he didn't want to forget about it…" I looked up at Lilly with her mouth open and her eyes showing eagerness for more info.

"I told him I didn't want to forget either, and we were about to kiss, when JACKSON came barging through the door and interrupted us."

"Again? Someone interrupted you guys from kissing AGAIN!?!?"

"I know and now Jackson is making fun of me, like right before I left he was all, 'where are you going, over your little boyfriend's house to make out on his couch' or something like that."

"Well now we know Oliver likes you know!" Lilly stated getting a bit excited.

"Do you think?"

"Do I? Do I? He said he didn't wanna forget about when you guys almost kissed the other time, so obviously he does! When are you going to tell him you like him?"

"I don't know, maybe never." I stated, and Lilly's jaw dropped.

"WHY NOT?!?!?"

"I think my dad and brother walking in on us those times was a sign that me and Oliver aren't meant to be and that we are only suitable to be friends."

Lilly just sat there looking at me like I was crazy. Maybe I was.

"You guys coming in or not?" Kate asked as she came back to us with water dripping.

"Yea, I'm coming now." I said and we all went into the water.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When we got out we just decided to chill out and tan out on our towels.

I was just peering out into the ocean when Lilly nudged me in the stomach. I looked at her, "What?"

"He's here…" Lilly whispered.

"Oliver?" I mouthed, and Lilly nodded. I started looking around like crazy when I saw him at Rico's, and his gaze seemed towards our area.

Was he going to come over? What would I do if he did? Would talking to him be too awkward?

I looked over to where he was at Rico's and he wasn't there anymore. I looked around again and I found him coming closer. I turned to Lilly and mouthed, "Help!"

She looked up and saw him coming also and shrugged not knowing what to do.

"Hey guys!" Oliver greeted all 3 of us as he sat down on the sand near us.

"Hey." We all replied back.

I looked down not wanting to see Oliver at this moment in time. I could feel his eyes on my however, which made me want to look in those chocolate brown eyes of his and get lost in them, but I urged myself.

Kate still had no clue about anything going on between me and Oliver let alone knowing I liked Oliver. I was still afraid to tell her since it wasn't long ago they broke up and I didn't want this whole Oliver thing ruin our friendship.

Oliver started talking to Lilly and Kate about something, and that's when I lifted my head up. He had a new, poop free, shirt on. He was sitting Indian Style on the ground talking to Lilly and Kate who were off to my right.

They were talking about Movie that were out in the theatres, but I didn't hear much since I was just staring at Oliver; the way his white teeth shown when he laughed and how his eyes were just gorgeous and mesmerizing. I also notice his hair was growing back to the way it was last summer when I left.

I don't care what other people said, he was perfect…perfect in everyway possible in my eyes. Then as I was staring at him he turned his head and he saw me, but for some reason I didn't turn away, I kept staring and he was staring back.

He smiled which immediately made me smile also, and now my cheeks were burning up since I just realized we were doing all of this with Lilly right besides us and Kate right their also.

I finally turned away and put my head back down. "Well I gotta go, so see-ya guys!" and he took off.

I looked up once again and Lilly whispered in my ear, "He totally likes you, trust me on this! You have to do something!"

Kate then got up from her place on her towel and over to me. "You like Oliver don't you?"

"Wha-what?" I said.

"Oh come on, a grill cheese could've picked that one up! You were staring at him the whole time! Now TELL ME, DO…YOU…LIKE…HIM?" Kate threatened.

"Kate…"

"Miley just TELL ME!"

I closed my eyes preparing for the worst, "yes…" I told her quietly.

A/N: Alright so Kate knows Miley like Oliver…what will happen next?? PLEASE REVIEW!! I'll update ASAP:D
