Lollipops are for Kids
Ch 3
Lilly woke up in Oliver's bed and lay still for a few moments, letting thoughts of the previous night settle in her head. The boy who lay snoring softly beside her was everything to her. She had loved him for a while and now that they had confessed and acted upon those feelings she was never going to let him go. With a smile playing across her face she slipped out of the smallish bed and began a silent search for the discarded clothes that she had worn the night before. The alarm clock beside Oliver's bed read 8:12 and she knew that if she wanted to survive to see another wonderful experience with Oliver she had to get home before her Mom realized that she had been gone all night.
The silent part of the search was tossed away when she stubbed her toes on the end of Oliver's bed as she scooped up her underwear. "OUCH!" she exclaimed before remembering that Oliver was still asleep. She froze as he turned over and rubbed his eyes sleepily.
"Lilly?" he asked groggily.
"Yeah. I've got to get home. Mom's gonna kill me if she finds out I stayed out all night." Oliver simply smiled at her. She was still completely naked and standing before him holding her underwear. "Stop it…I have to go!" She blushed furiously and tried to cover herself with the underwear…failing miserably and causing Oliver to grin even wider. She sighed and hurried to gather the remaining pieces of her outfit and hurriedly put them on. She pecked her boyfriend on the cheek before sprinting out of the room, down the stairs, and the block that separated their houses. Fortunately her mother was nowhere in sight and she managed to get into the house before her nosy neighbor called to question her presence in the yard at 8:30 in the morning.
The next few weeks found Lilly, Oliver, and Miley preparing for summer vacation from school. Miley wanted her two best friends to join her on a Hannah tour and they grudgingly agreed after two days of negotiations. Of course they wanted to go with her, but they had also been planning some things for the two of them to do alone. Lilly pointed out that there would be a little time after the tour and Oliver sighed, but agreed.
The Hannah crew left on the tour bus that Hannah's label had provided the day after school was dismissed for summer vacation. Jackson had even decided to tag along since the tour had been conveniently planned for his vacation slot as well. With his first year of college under his belt, he wanted to see Hawaii and Texas, two places where Hannah was scheduled to perform. "This is gonna be great!" Miley announced as they started out on the highway. The only downside of the tour from her point of view was that while on the bus and out in public she would have to be in disguise. The hotel rooms would be her only place to be just Miley in case paparazzi or fans spotted her on the tour bus, etc.
The first stop on the tour was in San Francisco and was fairly routine as concerts went. Lilly and Oliver got some time to themselves in the hotel while Hannah was practicing with her band for the night's performance and they used that free time to 'reacquaint' themselves intimately. They jumped in the shower afterwards before heading downstairs to meet Miley and Robbie Ray on the bus to head off for the concert hall. Miley was stoked about her first performance of the tour, as per usual.
"I'm really glad you guys decided to come on tour with me," she told them. "I don't know how I would have made it through two months of Daddy and Jackson alone…I love 'em, but they aren't exactly interested in my leisure activities."
"You mean shopping, boy watching, shopping, getting facials, and shopping?" Lilly asked.
"I watch t.v. too," Miley said.
"But that's something they do as well," Oliver pointed out.
"Well I never get the remote…"
Lilly sighed. "Anyway, we're glad you invited us, Miley. It will be nice to get out of Malibu and see the world…well for a while anyway."
Oliver grinned. "Yeah. And what's a better summer than one spent in the company of friends?"
"Philosopher, much?" Miley snorted.
"Well get used to it. I've got nothing better to do with the time between turning off the lights and actually falling asleep."
Lilly swatted him, but he held up his hands and she returned his silly grin. The group arrived at the concert hall and the Hannah Montana summer tour began.
