Hey Guys-
I'm back…well sort of. I won't be able to update every day since we're still really busy with moving but it won't be any really long breaks like before. And as a bonus for waiting so long I'm posting 2 chapters tonight. I hope you enjoy them! And keep reviewing. I'm thinking we'll get to over 300 by the end of this story. That's right you heard me 300! I can't even believe it myself. You all are AWESOME!!!!!
Miley couldn't believe how nervous she felt. She was going on a date….a real date with Jake. She couldn't seem to shake the tingling sensation she got in her stomach every time she thought about it. Even though they had both admitted their feelings for each other yesterday during their heated scene and afterwards Miley still wanted to make a good impression. She and Lilly had been shopping all day and had finally found the perfect dress. It was a short silk navy blue belted sheath dress. Miley had her hair in a pony tail making the dress slightly more casual since she didn't want to seem like she was trying too hard….even though she was.
Lilly looked at her friend and couldn't help but smiling. She could tell that Miley was nervous since she had put on about 30 different dresses today and hadn't been satisfied with any of them. Lilly couldn't help but laugh inside. She knew that Miley could wear a potato sack with raddish earings and Jake's eyes would still pop out of his head when he saw her. He hadn't had eyes for anyone else since high school so she really couldn't tell why her best friend was so nervous about impressing someone who was already head over heals for her.
Miley noticied Lilly in the mirror and turned to look at her.
She smiled a small nervous smile. "I'm overdoing it aren't I?"
Lilly smiled back and came and sat down on her bed. "A little. But if it's any consolation I think that Jake's going to have a heart attack when he sees you in that." Lilly said smiling.
Miley was smiling and staring off in to space obviously imagining Jake's reaction when he saw her.
Miley turned back and noticed that she had gotten some makeup on the collar of her new dress.
"Oh no! I smudged it." She turned quickly in a small panic and knocked over half the bottles on her vanity including her perfume.
"Oh GOD!" She yelled.
Lilly there in an instant. She picked up the bottles keeping them from spilling any further and took Miley by the hands. She sat her down on the bed and took a tissue and carefully removed the smudge of makeup that was on the dress. Miley was still breathing heavily and looking flustered.
Lilly had never seen her friend like this before. She had sang in front of thousands, and been in major motion pictures but her hair and makeup for a date with her high school boyfriend were turning her into a bumbling idiot.
"Miley. You have to calm down. It's just Jake. You're starting to remind me….well of me."
Miley collapsed onto the bed. "That's just the problem. It's JAKE!" "He's just so…and I'm so…and what if we can't do this? I mean what happens in a week when filming stops? I don't even know if he's got another movie waiting to take him away again. I….I just…"
Lilly sat down and hugged her friend. "Miles. Look at me."
Miley turned and looked at her friend. She seemed nervous and scared.
Lilly looked at her and smiled. "Now a good friend once told me that being in love was really really hard. She told me that it's also the most amazing and rewarding thing that could happen to a person and that if I really loved someone that I should do whatever it takes to make it work."
"Do you remember telling me that?" Lilly asked seriously.
Miley smiled to herself remembering giving Lilly that advice about love their senior year of high school when Lilly was worried about what would happen to her and Oliver going off to college.
Miley nodded at Lilly and looked down at her hands in sadness. "I remember." "I also remember feeling like such a hypocrite saying it since I had let the one person I had really loved leave my life without a fight."
Lilly looked at her. "And now that person is back. And you have a second chance. Most people never get that second chance Miles. So don't let yourself worry yourself out of something really really amazing."
Miley took a deep breath and let it go. 'You're right. I should just enjoy myself."
Lilly laughed. "Well from what happened yesterday I'd say you already know how to do that."
Miley smirked and slapped her best friend on the shoulder.
"Ouch." Lilly said pretending that it hurt her.
Before Lilly could retort there was a knock on the door.
Miley got up excitedly and went to open the door.
When she opened it she took in a breath. There was Jake looking more amazing that she had ever remembered seeing him. He wore a charcoal grey suit with the jacket opened and a gorgeous white dress shirt with the top few buttons opened casually. The suit looked like it was made just for him as it almost certainly was. The monochromatic nature of the look seemed to make his blue green eyes stand out even more as he smiled at her confidently.
Jake couldn't believe how beautiful Miley looked. The navy dress she wore was stunning and her hair as always looked as if it was just begging for him to run his hands through it. He liked that she had put it up. He hoped he would be able to take advantage of the situation later this evening and spend some time kissing that delicate neck of hers.
"You look amazing." Jake said huskily as he walked forward and put his arms around her waist.
Miley blushed attractively and put her arms around Jake's neck enjoying the electrifying feeling she was getting from flirting with him in the open.
"What? Oh this old thing?" She said looking down at her dress. "It's just something that I had in the back of my…" She didn't get a chance to finish.
Jake had just kissed her. She couldn't remember enjoying getting interrupted more than at that particular moment.
"…closet." She said softly standing there with her eyes still closed as Jake pulled away.
Jake smiled. He loved being able to affect her like that. She was one of the strongest and most amazing women he had ever met but she could be so warm and gentle too. She was everything he had ever found sexy in a woman wrapped into one incredible package.
He smiled at her and placed his forehead on hers. "Sorry about that, but I've been dying to do that again ever since yesterday."
She smiled slyly at him. "Well…I guess I didn't mind…too much." She said looking mischievous and leaning in to kiss him again.
Lilly took the opportunity to come out of the bedroom to say hi to Jake. She looked at the two of them wrapped up in each others arms and smiled smugly. She crossed her arms. "Hem hem. Don't you think most people do that AFTER their first date?"
Jake and Miley broke apart and smiled at each other. Jake just looked over at Lilly with his arms around Miley's waist. "Don't worry Lilly. I'll make sure to do it again after our date…you know…just to make you happy."
Miley smiled warmly at Jake who had taken her hand in his. "Let's get out of hear ok?"
Jake just smiled. "Goodnight Lilly."
Lilly had tuned on the tv and didn't even turn to say goodbye. "Night Jakers….be good!"
"So where exactly are you taking me?" Miley asked as they got in Jake's car.
Jake smiled at her and took her hand in his as he pulled away. "Well…since I know you want to keep this low profile for awhile I figured we'd go to this cozy little place I know."
Miley snuggled down into the plush leather seats and closed her eyes loving the feeling of Jake's hand in hers. As she did so all of the nervousness that she had felt earlier seemed to leave her. She couldn't even remember the reason for her frantic behavior. It felt so good and so right being here with him that despite being half way around the world in a place where she barely understood the language…she felt like this was home.
