I walked down the stairs it was ten in the morning. It felt so good to be able to sleep in a little. My dad was lying on the couch watching the morning news.
"Seaview high will run its normal hours next week" The reporter said finishing up the story
"Darn and here I thought school would at least be closed until Tuesday" I said making my presence known
"Hey" My dad said turning off the TV and turning to face me "Sorry I wasn't awake when you got home last night, I must have fell asleep while watching the Late Show. I went up to make sure you got home and you were out like a light"
"It's all right I came home, washed the junk off my face and got a cozy pair of pajamas and hit the sack. Hence my mess of a head" I said pointing to the rats nest on top of my head, that had stray hair all over my head. Probably pointing in all directions that it could probably point to
"So how did the dance go?" My dad asked, I decided to just tell him the truth.
"Nick asked me out for tonight" I said plopping down on the couch next to him.
"You two are a thing now?" He asked making enough space for me, since he was just lying down
"No, nothing official or anything at least not yet"
"Denise, Paul and I always thought that you two would get together"
"Dad" I whined blushing
"And I am so glad that you two did, I've seen the guys in your school. Nick is a very good choice, we are all glad that you two figured out that you liked each other"
"Oh my gosh dad do you guys sit around us and talk about this stuff when we aren't here?" I asked bringing my knees up to my chest.
"All I am saying darlin' is that Nick is a great choice" He said nudging me "Did you kiss him yet"
"Daddy" I said wide eyed, weren't dads supposed to protective of their daughters? I got up from the couch and looked at him "I have to go get ready to met Taylor and Lilly at Rico's for lunch"
"It's all right I have to get ready for work anyways" He said getting up
"Oh yeah how's that going?" He had just got a new job at a recording studio writing music for new artists. He had gotten the job to both of our surprises. And he's had a lot of success for that he's written, and come to fund out playing the guitar comes natural to me. It's something that over the few months I have taught my self to play. He had gotten a few guitars when he started the job so he could work at home too. I've been really into making music. And we have just recently gotten into playing the piano, which is new too. Nick has taken a real liking to the piano. He picked up on it fairly quickly, but I am still struggling on trying to get it. You would think that would be easier than the guitar but not for me. In fact we were getting so into the music that we decided to sign up for music class for next year, since we don't have many main classes that we have to take. My dad and I sometimes write songs together and he would turn them in to the artists. And the coolest thing was one of them used them for their record.
"Good I am working with some new country band, they seem really down to earth" He said
"Aw that's cool, I wish them good luck" I smiled as I grabbed a banana to eat before I went up to get in the show.
"You better get going before you're late to meet Taylor and Lilly" He laughed
I kissed him on the cheek and threw away my banana peel right before I went upstairs to get ready.

"School" Lilly whined when she showed up at Rico's and sat down on a chair
"Tell me about it I mean seriously why the fire couldn't be bigger is beyond me" Taylor groaned lying her head on the table
"Think about it guys, school will be over in two months and don't you want to get out sooner than later?" I asked making the correct sense out of it.
"Yeah I know summer is coming up and quick and than comes senior year" Taylor cheered, as we threw our hands in the air and laughed.
"Miles your food is ready" Rico called from the counter
I smiled and went to where he set the food.
"How was proms toots?" Rico smirked, he and his family had moved here a year back. And when they did they created 'Rico's Snack Shack', Rico was incredibly smart and goes to the high school even though he is only ten. Rico was a pretty good kid, but tried to be a stud.
"It was great, thanks for asking" I said getting some ketchup for my hot dog
"Heard there was a big fire on the news this morning"
"It was a fire but nothing as big as they are making it though. Just a small electrical fire"
"Well better get back to work, I'll see you later Miley"
I waved and than grabbed the tray, bringing it over to the girls. We began to eat, but of course not before Taylor had her annual problems opening the water bottle. There was no surprise there.
"I had so many knots in my hair this morning it was unreal" I said putting the packet of ketchup on my hotdog
"Oh my gosh I know there was so much hairspray in my hair" Lilly agreed, and it was true I did have to put extra spray in her hair for humidity
"Mine wasn't that bad this morning, since I told a bath when I got home." Taylor smirked
"I only washed my face" Lilly said
"Ditto" I nodded and than my cell phone started to ring and I looked up smiling "It's Nick"
"Answer it" Taylor smiled; I flipped my phone open and closed it, and put it up to my ear. It was much faster than unlocking it.
"Hey"
"Hey what's up?"
"Nothing just down as the shack with Lilly and Tay, eating some lunch what about you?"
"I am reading through this music book that I am going to show your dad later" He said than I heard some pages flipping, that confirmed what he was doing
"I think he left already but, he'll be back later tonight"
"Speaking of later" He paused, and I bit my lip from saying anything and than he continued "I was thinking you could meet me at Rico's actually and from there I'd show you were we're going"
"What are we doing?" I asked anxiously
"That's for me to know and you to find out"
"But why Rico's?" I couldn't help but wonder
"Because I have to set up a few things and I don't want to leave it unattended for too long"
"All right well I will see you tonight"
"Meet me at six" Nick said and than came the good byes. I hung up my phone and set it back to where it was sitting before
"So…" Lilly pressed on
"I've got my self a date with Nicholas Jerry tonight at six" I giggled and soon joined in the other two girls.
Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxo
They ditched me a half hour ago leaving me to find an outfit for tonight. No they couldn't help me find an outfit; they had their own boyfriend to tend to. I went through my closet and ripped through everything I owned. I didn't even know what we were doing, so I didn't even know what to dress like.
But I went to my closet and grabbed the first casual thing I saw, not wanting to spend another hour just on picking out what to wear. (No matter how important that was). I went to grab a t-shirt and jeans but than I remembered the dress that I had gotten when I was with the girls, looking for prom dresses. It was a summer dress, and it had golden and black checkers all over it. You know not the small ones and not the big ones. The three of us had fallen it love with it, Lilly had gotten blue and black and Taylor had gotten pink and brown.
I grabbed the dress and started to do my hair. I decided to just put a head band in to hold back my bangs. I didn't feel like having it in my face today anyways.
"I'm home" I heard my dad yell up the stairs. I grabbed my flip flops to match and checked my hair one last time before I ran down the stairs.
"What are you dressed for?"
"Remember Nick asked me out tonight" I said hoping that he wouldn't be mad that I was leaving since I hadn't seen him very much in the past three days.
"Oh that's right, well that's fine because I have to catch up on some sleep anyways. So I wouldn't be much company"
"You sure?" I asked
"Positive, go ahead and have fun. I am just going to grab a quick bite to eat and than take a nice warm bath and go to bed"
"I won't be late"
"I trust you to be home at a responsible time"
"Thanks daddy" I said hugging him "I promise that tomorrow we can have a daddy, daughter day"
"Sounds like a perfect plan" He squeezed me back
"All right now I really have to go, I am supposed to met Nick in two minutes at Rico's"
"Do you have your cell phone I need to get a hold of you?"
"No I don't have any pockets but I am sure that Nick has his" I said putting on my flips. I gave my dad another kiss on the cheek and said my good-byes.
I decided to go out through the front; it would be much quicker than going through the sand in the back. But as I went out the front I saw Nick standing out in front of his car
"I was starting to get worried that you went out the back instead of coming out this way" He said
"I thought I was meeting you at Rico's?" I asked going over to him
"Well things weren't working out in my favor so I had to think of another place that was almost as good as my other plans"
"That's fine" I smiled going over to the passenger side, I saw him rush over and before I could reach for the handle he had the door opened for me "Thank you"
He smiled and went over to the driver's side and got in.
"So tell me, what did you originally have planned?" I asked while he backed up and pulled out onto the main road
"Well I had dinner planned out on the beach, you know something set up so that we could just chill"
"Aw that's sweet" I said "What happened to that plan?"
"Well I had gotten everything finished and than I put it in one of those bags that doesn't let the heat out. Well I did that and went down to where everything was and it was all wet because of high tide. Well I spent the next ten minutes looking around for another spot but the water was just too high. So I just decided to do something else.
"That's all right; we'll have a fun tonight either way. There's plenty for us to do in the city"
"Well what would you like to do first?" He asked merging onto the highway
"I'm getting a little hungry" I admitted, the only time I've ate today was this afternoon
"Well since my plans were ruined you get to chose where to eat" He said looking over at me briefly
I smirked and nodded my head "I have the perfect place where we can eat."
Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
"No" I laughed hitting his arm "You are such a cheater I can't believe that you shot me, and when I wasn't paying attention"
"I can't help it that you were staring at me" Nick smirked at me
"Cocky are you?" I said putting my hand on my hips "And for your information, I was looking at you because you have mustard on your mouth"
Nick put down his gun and walked over to our table to grab napkin. I quickly put in a quarter and silently wished that the game would start before he came over. When it did I used my controller to go and find his person. In the corner of my eye I saw him coming back
"Hey" He laughed as he went to grab his controller "And you call me a cheater?"
"I'm not really playing" I tried to lie, and that's when I saw his character. I raced up behind him and than "Bam! Ha I win this time."
"Because I wasn't even playing" He laughed and he put the controller back into the machine.
"Can we order desert now?" I asked putting mine where it belonged
"Sounds good" He smiled as we went to go sit down, it wasn't long before someone came over to check on them
"Are you two ordering desert?" She asked
"Uh yeah, I'll get some sugar free chocolate ice cream" He said
"I would like a hot fudge sundae" I said putting the menu down, after finally deciding that the sundae sounded the best.
"I will be right back with those" She said taking away the menus and going into the back
"Jullian's was a good pick" I smiled "I mean dinner, games, and desert is the best"
"I'm glad because I really felt like tonight was going to be so stupid because nothing was planned" Nick confessed
"Nope I am having a blast" I smiled "Really this couldn't have been any better"
"I'm glad" He nodded taking a sip of his diet Coke
"So what book do you want to show my dad?"
"Oh yeah I found this old book in this music store the other day, it had all these old song's music sheets. I found the 'Temptations' sound in there 'My girl' and I thought it was pretty cool. I learned how to play it on my keyboard the other day"
"Are you serious?" I asked
"Yeah it was actually pretty easy" He nodded
"You have to play it for me one day" I said just as our ice cream came to our table
"Defiantly" He said taking his spoon and digging in, and I doing the same. But when I had almost got to the bottom, I couldn't take another bite.
"I am so full" I groaned sitting back in the chair
"I know the feeling" Nick had already finished his and was sitting back in his chair, with both his hands on his stomach. But soon after sitting there he reached in his pocket for his black case which held his contour meter, so that he could check his blood sugar. I admired Nick, he wasn't embarrassed about what he was diagnosed for. His family and I were proud of him for that. Nick took what he had and made the best of it. And because it was an everyday thing that he had to do this, it was automatically set in his brain.
"Is everything good?" I asked after he was finished.
"Yeah I am good for now" He said nodding and putting away his things in the case and back into his pocket.
"What do you want to do now?" I asked looking around, we had played just about every game there was.
"What time do you have to be home?"
"Well my dad said not to be home too late, but I should probably be home by ten. I don't want him waking up and me not being there and him being worried"
"Well its nine now, and it would only take thirty minutes to get you back" Nick said looking at his watch
"Well let's get the check, there's a park just like two minutes away from here. I feel like going for a walk" I smiled, walks in the dark in the park where surprisingly cool for me.
Nick nodded and soon our meal was paid for and we were heading out.
'Thanks again for dinner, are you sure you don't want me to pay half?" I asked worried, because we had spent so much money of games and things
"Don't even worry about it, I've got it" He smiled at me
I nodded and pointed to the park, which was in walking distance to get to. I walked a little ahead because I wanted to see if it was still open or if it closed at dusk. But I was glad to see that the gate was still open and there were light's lighting up the paths in the park.
Nick caught up and I had waited up for him.
"Just a little walk" I said to him, we walked through the entrance.
"I like walks at night" I said as we took a right, this park was really gorgeous. I knew that there was a park here, but I hadn't been to it yet.
"Yeah, the sun's not out making you all sweaty" Nick agreed
And that was true. I felt his arm brush against mine; I smiled as I knew he was going for my hand. His finger's brushed against mine, and I opened my hand as he put his through mine. I closed it and tightened his grip on mine.
"Plus it's peaceful in the night; you don't have the people here." Nick spoke after a few moments and than confessed "I like listening to the owls in the night"
"When you look at the fire flies in the woods, they look like little Tinkerbelle's flying around" I giggled just thinking about them
"They kind of do remind me of them" Nick nodded
The trail kept going on and on, I didn't care though. It really didn't matter what time I had to be home, my dad said so himself that he trusted me enough for me to be out on my own.
I looked over and saw Nick turn away, I couldn't help but laugh and I squeezed his hand. He looked over again and laughed.
"I was going to tell you that your looked really pretty tonight, but your kind of ruined my moment" He laughed scratching his head with his free hand
"Sorry" I smirked and turned straight ahead
"Miley" Nick laughed
"Hmm?" I asked turning my head towards him
"You look really pretty tonight" He smiled
"Thank you" I said swinging our hand between us, compliments always made me so shy. I don't know why though, but they did
"So what even happened to the food that you made tonight anyway?"
"I gave it to my mom and dad; I told them to have sort of a celebration dinner on me. You know for the new baby"
"That's really nice of you"
"Yeah I figured they could use a night alone together. They've done so much for me so I figured I would do something for them"
He was truly a sweet guy, and I was lucky to have him in my life. This time he caught me looking at him
"What?" He asked confused and nervous that something was on his face again
I grabbed his other hand and stepped in front of him. And I took the chance to do something that I had wanted to do since last night. I leaned up going slow to make sure that he wanted this as much as I did, and when I saw that he was leaning too I closed my eyes. I could feel his breath on mine, just like I could last night.
"Just to let you know, I changed my whole rule on kissing on the first date" He whispered, I could feel him talk
"Glad to know' I said leaning the rest of the way in until my lips stopped onto his. I let my hands drop from his and snake around his neck, and his hands made it to my waist. I felt him relax as his hold became more off a hug and less of a death grip. I pulled back and opened my eyes; our faces were still close enough.
"Wow" He stuttered
I laugh a little and lay my forehead on his. He move his head forward slightly and he kissed me again, before he moved his head back again to look at me again. Nick smiled at me before he kissed my cheek and grabbed my hand.
We kept walking until we finally reached the end. Nick opened the door to his car for me again and he started it. Conversation filled the car as we drove down the highway, and until we reached my house.
"You could have just dropped me off at your house and I could have walked home" I said as we walked up to my porch.
"It's polite to drop a girl off at her house to make sure she get's in safely" Nick stated as we reached the top of the stairs and in front of the door.
I really didn't want the night to be over.
"Thanks for such an awesome night"
"Your welcome" He said shuffling on his feet "We'll have to do it again soon"
"Sounds like a plan" I shook my head
He didn't say anything. So it was going to be like this at the end of the night? I got over it and went to reach for the door knob.
"I guess I will call you later" I said going to turn it
"Wait" He said a little loudly, I turned around and saw him blushing. What was he so worked up about?
"I uh…" Nick started out to say and brought a hand up to his hair
"Nick are you okay?" I asked worried
"I forgot something" He mumbled
At the restaurant, he must have forgotten is wallet or something.
"What did you exactly forget?"
"I forgot to ask you something" He said as his voice began to get stronger and he wasn't stuttering or his hand wasn't in his hair. "We had such a great time tonight and last night we had a great time. And I know it's only been technically one date, two if you count the dance last night. Well I you know wanted to know if you wanted to be official."
"Official." I had to say it out loud for the words to process through my head, he wanted to go out with me. I felt my stomach make a knot as those words came spinning in my head
"Yeah you know like be my girlfriend, but if you're not ready for it yet than I understand completely. I was just thinking of how much fun we were having…"
"Nick" I laughed interrupting his long speech "I would love to be your girlfriend"
Nick stopped his nervous behavior and stood there in shock. He must have really been working himself up about this. I bit my lip and leaned over to kiss him lightly one last time.
"I will see you later" I giggled still looking at his expression, and went to give him a hug.
His arms tightened around me and he kissed my cheek as we let go.
"I'll call you tomorrow" He said and I could see that he was okay now
I waved and went into my house, I looked out my window and watched as Nick made his way to his car. I watched as he jumped into the air and turned around pumping his first into the air.
What a silly boy, but he was my boy now.
