Hey Guys-

Well thank you for not hating me for that last chapter. I was afraid that some of you might have jumped ship but hopefully not. Anyway I'm posting 2 chapters tonight..they're not really long but I hope you enjoy them. If you get a chance review both if you can.

THANKS!

The next few days went slightly differently than Miley had originally planned. She and Mark had talked a bit more and although it wasn't what he wanted he still respected Miley's decision not to date anymore.

So she spent her time trying to relax and clear her mind. She took bubble baths, tried reading some books she had been putting off but really nothing seemed to work…no matter what she tried she just ended up daydreaming about Jake.

It's not like she really minded thinking about him….actually it was one of her favorite pastimes but since she had told him she had needed a week to recuperate she hadn't seen or heard from him. She knew he was probably just respecting her wishes but she was under a little bit of emotional stress when she had said it…what on earth did she know?

The worst part of it was that she hadn't even had any excuses to go and see him at work either. Kevin had taken a few days off to be with Jenna and Ryan and so Jake had taken over much of the directing duties that remained for the end of the movie. They were shooting the few remaining scenes that didn't involve Jake and Miley so that when Kevin returned they would be ready to shoot the finale.

Miley was secretly proud of Jake's accomplishments as an actor. He had directed several of his tv shows and helped produce his last movie with Kevin. So now he was as much a natural behind the camera as he was in front of it.

That being said she still hated the fact that he wasn't around anymore. She missed the feeling of his arms being around her. She missed talking to him and seeing him smile. Ok…she just plain missed him!

So for the most part she was so completely and utterly bored that she had actually reorganized her closet to coordinate everything by color and by clothing type and cleaned nearly everything else. She figured it was a good thing that she had cleaned since Lilly would be there later that day. She just hoped that her blonde friend would be enough of a distraction to keep her from thinking about Jake too much.

Jake sat at home looking at his cell phone on the table. He just wanted to call her and talk. He had missed her more than he thought possible the last few days. He thought that his life had been much easier not knowing that she wanted to be with him than it was knowing she thought they had a chance. Now it was like knowing you were going to get exactly what you wanted for Christmas and having to wait an entire week to open the damn box. It was driving him slightly crazy.

When Kevin had called and asked if he would help out on the movie he had jumped at the chance. At least it had given him something to do. Unfortunately for him though the distraction didn't last too long. The scenes he had helped film were boring fillers to move the plot along from one major scene to the other. They hadn't been difficult and they had finished everything now except the finale which would have to wait for Kevin to return.

And now…now he had nothing to do but sit at home and think about her. And think about her he had. He couldn't help himself. It seemed like everything in his house reminded him of her. He kept looking out the windows and instead of seeing what was really there he would see how beautiful she looked eating breakfast out in the garden. Even sitting on the couch now could make him crazy because eventually he would think about how ridiculously good it had felt to wake up with her holding onto him in that very spot. God he'd give anything to feel that again.

He wanted…no he needed to talk to her again. He sat with his head in his hands not being able to imagine how she had gotten him so crazy about her again.

That was of course the exact moment that the phone rang. He picked it up before the first ring finished. He didn't recognize the number but he answered anyway.

"Hello?"

The person on the other end of the line introduced themselves.

"Lilly??" Jake exclaimed not being able to control his astonishment.
