In love with my best friend? Yeah right. Maybe?
Chapter 3
Falling for you
It had been a week since I had been rejected by Lilly. Yeah, I was still hurting but I didn't show it. I noticed something one day in class on Monday. I was sitting next to Lilly like I usually do and I felt that she was looking at me. I turned my head and I asked, "Uh…Lils, you there?" Lilly snapped out of her stare and she blushed, noticing that I was looking at her. "Oh…sorry Miles, I uh….got caught up in your beauty." I laughed which caused Lilly to blush even more. "Thanks Lils and don't worry, I check you out all the time." Lilly's blue eyes widened with surprise then laughed. "You're so cute Lils when you're embarrassed. Wanna come over later after school at my place?" Lilly smiled at me. "Sure Miles…I can help you pick out your outfit for your next Hannah concert which is Friday." I just rolled my eyes at her. "Okay Lils, we can do that if you want." I saw Lilly's eyes widen with happiness. "Yay! I love you Miley!" I laughed. "I love you too Lilly." We spent the rest of class, working together on an assignment that our teacher gave us. I was so glad when the bell rang because I wanted to get home because I had to show Lilly a new song that I was working on. I haven't given up on being with Lilly. I figured that this song would reveal if she felt the same way about me.
Walking home together is always interesting because Lilly would say something funny or she'll be sweet and hold my hand while walking to my house. My dad has seen us holding hands before, he thinks that it's cute and he's totally okay with it because he knows we're really good friends. "Hi Daddy, I'm home and Lilly's with me!" My dad must've been on the deck doing something because he walked in from the side door that leads to the deck. "Hey Mile, Hey Lilly, did you two have a good day at school?" Lilly and I exchanged looks and we just smiled at each other. "Yeah we did. We're going upstairs to my Hannah closet, Lilly's helping me pick out my next outfit for Friday's concert." My dad just rolled his eyes at us. "Alright bud, I'll call you down when dinner's ready. I'm guessing that Lilly is stayin' for dinner?" Lilly nodded. "Yup!" "Ok then, I'll call you girls down when dinner is ready then." I grabbed Lilly's hand. "Alright daddy. Come on Lils, let's go before he says something else." Lilly laughed. "Okay Miles, lead the way!" We got to my room then we walked to my huge Hannah closet which held tons and tons of clothes plus shoes.
"Okay, what about this one Miley?" Lilly held out a dark pair of faded jeans and a black top with sparkles going down the left side of the shirt. I tilted my head to the side, pretending to think about it even though I knew exactly why Lilly had picked it out because the last time I wore that, Lilly said I looked drop dead gorgeous in it. "I like it. I will so wear that at my next concert and I know that my fans will be blown away." I caught the slight blush by Lilly and I smiled. "Gotcha Lils, that's what I was looking for." I laughed a little but didn't say anything because that would cause her to blush even more. "Lils, I've been working on a new song that I'm performing on Friday. Do you want to hear part of it?" Lilly's huge smile was all I needed. "Sure Miley, I'm always up to hearing new songs." I just smiled then I went to go and get the lyrics.
"Baby, I should've caught no feelings.
But baby the closer I got with you, the crazier I went.
I can't be falling for you, it's not right 'cause you're
My best friend. I'm in love with you, even though I
Know I shouldn't. I can't ignore these feelings
But I just can't be falling for you. Ooh, I can't be
Falling for you. Oh, but I'm falling for you.
Baby, I'm falling for you. Falling for you."
Lily's mouth was open and her eyes were wide. "Whoa, Miles, that was amazing! You're fans are going to love it, I know I do." I felt my heart doing back flips. "Thanks Lils, I knew you would like it." We hugged each other longer than we usually do. I felt safe in Lilly's arms. "Miley…can you let me go please?" Lilly whispered in my ear. I opened my eyes then I released her from my embrace. I felt my face go red. "Sorry Lilly." I looked down at the floor nervously. Lilly lifted my chin and I found myself looking in her eyes. 'It's okay Miles, I'm not mad at you." I smiled, Lilly smiled back. "Thanks Lils, do you want to watch T.V.?" She nodded. "Sure Miles." I took her hand and we went downstairs to watch something on the television. We were sitting on the couch, my arm was around Lilly's waist while she had her head resting on my shoulder. She looked so calm and peaceful, it melted my heart into a puddle. My heart was beating like mad and I suddenly forgot how to breathe. Even the smallest affection, drove me insane. Does she have any idea of what she is doing to me?
The week went by slowly and I was so relieved when it was Friday because I had been looking forward to my concert all week. "Hey Lils, you ready for the concert tonight?" I asked Lilly when we were putting are books away in lockers. Lilly slammed her locker shut, I did the same. "Of course I am Miley! I can't wait to hear your new song. And I can't wait to see the looks on your fans reactions when they see the outfit you'll be wearing tonight." I laughed. "Yeah, me either Lilly." I really couldn't wait till tonight because tonight will be the night when I find out if Lilly feels the same way about me. I had a good feeling about it, I just hope that I'm not wrong about it.
"Baby, I should've caught no feelings.
But baby the closer I got with you, the crazier I went.
I can't be falling for you, it's not right 'cause you're
My best friend. I'm in love with you, even though I
Know I shouldn't. I can't ignore these feelings
But I just can't be falling for you. Ooh, I can't be
Falling for you. Oh, but I'm falling for you.
Baby, I'm falling for you. Falling for you."
I finished singing my new song and my fans were cheering like crazy. I smiled at them. "Thanks everybody! You've been a great audience tonight! I love you all! G'night everybody!" I ran off the stage and I saw my dad and Lilly waiting for me. "Hey Bud, you were great tonight," my dad said proudly and I smiled at him then I hugged him tightly. "Thanks daddy." "I better go and see if the limo is ready." Lilly and I nodded and we watched him leave. I turned and faced Lilly, trying to read her expression. In her eyes, I could see love, lust, want, surprise and happiness. "So what did you think of the new song Lilly?" Lilly hugged me then she kissed my forehead. "I loved it Miles, it was amazing and so were you as always." I smiled widely. "Thanks Lilly." My dad came in and told us that the limo was ready. We held hands all the way to the limo and on the ride home, I was without a doubt falling for my best friend even more than I did before. I knew that Lilly must be feeling something too. The only thing I could do was to wait and see. And hopefully in time, I would be with her.
