Things Have Changed
Chapter 22
For the Better
"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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"WHEN?!?" Kate yelled again
"Li-Like the beginning of the year…" I stuttered back.
"Miley…Miley…Miley…" Kate said getting closer to me now.
"Kate don't kill her!" Lilly shouted.
Kate looked over at Lilly and gave her a confused face, "What am I scaring you two?" She asked. We nodded slowly.
Kate started bursting out laughing, "Man, you should have seen the look on your faces!" She said in between laughs.
Me and Lilly exchanged odd glances, "So…you're NOT mad???" I asked.
"Of course not! Why would I be?" Kate stated like it was world-wide knowledge.
"Well the day you broke up with Oliver you were all pissed at me cause you thought I liked him, and all…"
"OOOO, I was just cranky, I didn't have my CoCo Puffs that morning!! CoCo Puffs is what puts me in a good mood!!" She stated.
"OooKayy!" I said.
"Both you and Lilly know I didn't like Oliver like that, I was basically used him to see if one of his friends would notice me…no such luck though…Anyways…when are you going to tell him you like him?"
"I'm not…" I told her gloomly.
"And why not?"
"Because we had a few times to kiss and they just keep getting interrupted and maybe it's a sign or something." I told Kate.
"Just go up to the boy and kiss him!" Kate exclaimed.
I gave her a crazy stare, "Oh then have him COMPLETELY stop talking to me, NO, and plus I don't even know if he likes me!"
"Oh come on already Miley, you guys almost kissed not once but twice and he even told you that he didn't wanna forget that you guys almost kissed the first time!" Lilly pointed out.
"And I know something else…" Kate said.
"What?" I asked.
"When me and Oliver were dating, he kinda mentioned you…A LOT! Like how nice and sweet you are, and how talented you are and all."
"He say what?" I said with my jaw open in complete surprise.
"Now if that doesn't mean he likes you then I don't know what would!" Lilly exclaimed, "Look he is right there…ALONE! Go over!" Lilly commanded me then shoved me over.
I was walking slowly over to him, I took one look back and Lilly was giving me a thumbs up and Kate was just smiling.
I walked up to him, "Hey Oliver," I smiled.
"He-Hey…Miley." He greeted back. And we were both looking gazing at everything but each other.
"Oliver…" I finally spoke
"Miley…"
"Can you meet me here at Rico's tonight around 7ish?" I asked.
"Um, yea…why?" He asked with a confused expression on his face, his left hand in his hair.
"We just need to get things straightened out…"
"See-ya later…I guess."
"Yea…" And then I walked over to Kate and Lilly.
"So?" Lilly said.
"I'm meeting him tonight and we're going to talk." I stated.
"We need to be here then!" Kate told me.
"Why?"
"So no one interrupts you guys again."
"Fine but you have to be like pretty far away."
"That's a given!" Kate replied, "So me and Lilly come here to make sure nobody get near you two!"
"Alright well get here at 7, see-ya then" I instructed them, and then I walked home and started getting ready for tonight.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I checked myself in the mirror for what seemed to be the billionth time, I decided it was now or never. I exited my house and made my way to Rico's.
As I slowly approached Rico's I saw Oliver sitting at a stool. I walked up to him. "Hey…"
"Hey Miley…" There was an awkward silence.
"Let's go somewhere else." I suggested, he nodded and we were now walking along the ocean waves as the sun was beginning to set.
I was taking him to the place on the beach where I had told him I was Hannah Montana.
"Remember this place?" I asked him as we headed to that part of the beach.
He laughed a bit, "How could I not?" He smiled at me and sat on the rock nearby.
I stood in front of him, "Listen Oliver, you know that Hannah Song we were talking about that day at the amusement park?"
"Why Must My Heart Love You???" He asked.
"Yea…"
"What about it? Did that guy hurt you anymore?" He asked concerned.
"Actually, right now…no, but I want to tell you who he is." I stated, trying to build the courage for the next sentence that could change the rest of my life.
"Okay, who?"
"Well…" I started and I sat next to him on the rock. I looked at him next to me and he was staring at me and we were looking into each other's eyes. I felt the urge to kiss him. I took a deep breath. "…yo-"
"MILEY?!? ARE YOU DONE YET???" I heard Kate yell from a distance. I let an angry-annoyed sigh out.
"I'll be right back." I said to Oliver and then walked over to where Kate was.
"Can it be soooo hard to keep your mouth closed for 5 MINUTES!! You interrupted me from telling him!!"
"My bad!" Kate stated.
I was fuming, "You were the one who wanted me to do something about me liking Oliver and so I am, so shut ya Yapper woman so I can!!"
"You don't need to!"
"Huh? Now I'm just completely lost!" I said putting my head in my hands.
"Just turn around…" Kate instructed, pointing to behind me, so I did, to meet face to face with Oliver.
"Oliv-" But before I could say anything else I felt his lips on mine.
Oh how soft and tender his lips were on mine. How each second my lips were occupied by his my body tingled. I felt like melting, but I didn't want to stop. I felt like I was flying high in the sky in his arms being one with the clouds and stars.
We finally broke apart and he was still holding my face, "You have NO idea how much I've been wanting to do that." He stated.
"I think I do!' I replied back with a smile, and we kissed again.
When we departed I whispered, "no interruptions…" and smiled.
Oliver took my hands in his, "I'm sorry about me being a jerk most of this school year but I was wondering would you be my girlfriend?"
Only in my dreams did I ever hear him say those words. I looked at him and said, "I would love that!" And I smiled warmly and he smiled back. We kissed again for the third time that night, and nothing could get as perfect as it was now.
So I guess things still haven't went back to the way things were before, between me and Oliver, but I can say now Things Have Changed for the BETTER!
