Don't be insecure

Nick and Miley were just sitting there, saying nothing at all to each other. Miley was too shy so say anything. She's never thought of being a model and suddenly she was sitting in front of the best – or apparently – the best model agent in at least this company. She had no idea what to say.

Nick on the other hand was just captured by her beauty. He knew she was beautiful, but the longer he stared at her, the more beautiful she got. Of course she is beautiful you idiot, he thought. She is here for modeling after all! He sighed. That's when he finally snapped out of it and shook his head, trying to collect his thoughts.

"Uhm, so, you're here for modeling?" As soon as he said it, he regretted it. He wanted to slap his forehead really hard, maybe that would make him normal again? Miley giggled anyway because she could see that he was nervous.

"Yeah, that's what I'm here for I guess. Or at least that's what that guy promised me at the mall." Nick nodded and grabbed some paper. The day before he wrote down some questions he needed to know before they could start taking pictures for the companies.

"Okay, first of all, I need to know if you really want this job." Nick prepared himself for a witty comeback like in his dream, but Miley just nodded.

"Yeah, I guess. The actual question is if they really want me, not the other way round." Nick was surprised at her answer. Didn't she know how beautiful she was? He shook his head.

"Why would you think that?" Miley shrugged carelessly and started pulling on her dress a little.

"I just don't think I'm beautiful or anything. If anything, I think I'm the opposite." Nick shook his head shocked.

"I wouldn't say that! Why would you think that?" Miley shook her head.

"Look at all the other models. They are so thin and I have my curves and all. Yeah, that's probably attractive to some men, but as a model, aren't you supposed to be really thin and have like no curves?" Nick shook his head again. He couldn't believe that she thought she wasn't thin!

"Uhm, don't get me wrong, but you are way more beautiful than my other clients. Just, don't tell them." Miley giggled and blushed. It was true!

"You're just saying that so I accept the job, right?" Nick shook his head.

"No, I'm saying that because it's true." Miley blushed even more. No guy had ever called her beautiful. They would use words like hot or sexy, but not beautiful.

"I don't know…" Nick chuckled.

"Please get up." Miley looked up at him shocked. Was he kicking her out already?

"What?" Nick laughed a little and got up himself.

"Please, just get up." Miley nodded. She got up on her feet cautiously. What was this guy up to? Nick walked around his desk and looked Miley up and down. He wasn't being secretive about it. He was trying to show her that she was beautiful.

Under his intense staring, Miley felt even more self-conscious. She wasn't sure if what he was doing was positive or not. She pulled her dress down unconsciously. Nick shook his head again.

"Don't do that! I don't get why you think you're not thin! You are perfect!" Nick blurted the last sentence out. He wanted to think it, not say it out loud. Miley flushed a deep shade of red.

"I'm not." Nick walked up to her, put his hands on her shoulders ignoring the electric shockwaves that were running through his body when he touched her and looked into her beautiful blue eyes.

"You are beautiful. Why else would someone suggest you should become a model?" Miley sighed and looked away from his eyes.

"Maybe to make of me?" Nick sighed and cursed everyone who would call her anything but beautiful.

"Okay, I am your agent and I am saying that you are beautiful, trust me on this one. I've seen plenty of pretty girls, but I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you. And no, I'm not just saying that. It's true." Miley was blushing so much, she felt like her face was on fire. She barely knew this guy and there he was trying to convince her that she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

Deciding she could believe him and give in she nodded.

"If you say so." Nick chuckled and walked behind her to get something to drink. While he walked past her, he leaned forward to whisper something in her ear.

"Don't be so insecure." As Miley heard his whispered words and felt his lips so near to her ear, she got chills all over her body. She made it to the chair she was sitting on safely and sat down shakily. This guy had no idea what effect he had on her already.

Nick walked back to his desk with a cup of water and a smirk on his face. He knew he was flirting, but that was his intention. He sat down on his chair and looked at Miley's flustered face. He felt kind of bad for being so forward, so he tried to change the subject.

"Moving on…" Miley giggled at his try to make her forget the conversation they just had. Nick smiled as he heard her giggle.

"How serious would you be about this job?" Miley sighed and didn't answer for a while. She really wanted to be a teacher, actually. But if someone just walked up to you, offering you a model job, wouldn't you agree as well?

"Uhm, it depends on what I would have to do. You know, if… if the shoots or whatever I have to do would take longer than two hours, you know the whole day and that seven days a week, then of course, I'd be really serious about this job. But if it's just a onetime kind of job, then I wouldn't take it this serious and maybe look for another job." Nick nodded. She had her reasons.

"Okay, that's good then, I guess because someone as beautiful as you would be occupied with this job a really long time." Miley rolled her eyes as he mentioned once again his opinion on her beauty.

They talked a little while longer about the job and decided it was time to take the first few pictures of Miley. But Nick couldn't come with her because he had other appointments, but he told her to meet him at Patty's for lunch. Larry would probably make fun of him, but Nick didn't care.

After Miley left, Nick sighed happily and leaned back in his chair. His day had been good, nothing bad happened and Miley Stewart was the girl from the diner. There was nothing better than knowing that. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!" Nick sat up and looked at the door. Larry entered smirking.

"You knew didn't you?" Larry nodded.

"Of course I did. That's why I told you to do it. Got her to go out with you yet?" Nick shook his head.

"No, she's been here for thirty minutes, what do you expect?" Larry shrugged.

"Maybe you, working faster with her? I thought you were smitten?" Nick glared at Larry.

"I never said I was!" They were quiet for a short amount of time. Then Larry pointed a finger at Nick.

"Ha! You never denied it either!" Nick rolled his eyes.

"Oh, yeah, we have an addition to our lunch. Maybe it'd be even better if we could cancel our lunch together?" Larry looked at Nick suspiciously.

"Why?" Nick sighed.

"Because Miley agreed to meet me at Patty's… for business!" Larry was smirking already. His eyes showed Nick that he had a plan.

"Of course I'll skip lunch at Patty's! If that means you're getting further with her…" Nick rolled his eyes.

"It's really just for the business! Because I need to see the pictures!" Larry nodded.

"That's what you're saying now! In one or two weeks, it'll be a hot date, right?" Nick shook his head.

"Could you get any more childish?" Larry sighed.

"That's what Pamela said yesterday." Nick laughed one time. Larry glared at him. Nick shrugged.

"Okay, so have fun at your lunch date!" Larry winked and left the room quickly before Nick could argue with him. As much was he hated to say it, it wasn't a lunch date. It was really just out of business. Nick sighed and waited for his next appointment.

Nick was waiting at the exit of the building once again. But this time he wasn't waiting for Larry. He was waiting for Miley. She would come to him to show him the pictures and they would talk about some companies Miley would like.

Nick was really nervous. He couldn't explain how he felt even if he had to. There was no word to describe it. He just kept staring at the staircase and the elevator, waiting for Miley to come. His leg started shaking.

He decided he should wait at the exit for her, so he was there early. But he was really early and some people down at the reception were giving him weird stares but he ignored it.

Finally, after what seemed too long to him, Miley descended the stairs gratefully. Nick had no doubt about her being famous as a model when he saw her gratefully walking down the stairs.

When Miley saw Nick, she smiled at him. She was struggling with her purse, the pictures and her coat, so Nick walked up to her and grabbed all of it from her. He then helped her into the coat and handed her the pictures and the purse.

"Hey, I didn't know you'd wait here. I would have hurried up if I knew!" Nick just shook his head, telling her it was okay. They walked out of the building together. It was winter already and it was pretty cold, but Miley still wore the dress she bought just that day. She cursed under her breath. Nick chuckled when he heard her.

"What's wrong?" Miley looked at him surprised and blushed slightly.

"Uhm, I'm stupid." Nick looked at Miley confused. She laughed.

"I mean, it is winter, it's cold and I'm wearing a summer dress just so that maybe I could impress you and your people." She blushed again. Nick chuckled.

"Did you buy that dress before you came here?" Miley looked at Nick shocked.

"But I thought she wouldn't tell you!" Nick laughed.

"Well, Linda is evil." Miley giggled.

"Yeah, I bought it today, thinking it would be impressive or something like that. That's how stupid I am." Miley laughed at her own stupidity. Nick looked her up and down again. Even though the wind was blowing and it was really cold and her nose was red, she still managed to look beautiful.

"Well, if it helps you, you look beautiful in it." Miley blushed again. This guy was seriously giving her way too many comments… but she liked it.

"If you say so." Together they walked into Patty's. The owner, Patty of course, smiled at them and motioned them to a table together. Nick let Miley sit down first and even pushed her chair in for her, earning him a big smile from Miley.

"You're a gentleman, aren't you?" Nick blushed and shrugged.

"My mother taught me to treat women with respect. You know, the whole package: Taking the coat, opening doors and that with the chairs too." Miley nodded and smiled.

"Oh, my best friend would approve." Nick looked at Miley kind of shocked. He didn't know the name of her best friend, but in his dream her supposedly best friend Demi approved of him.

"Uhm, I don't mean to sound nosey or anything but what's your best friend's name?" Miley looked at him confused.

"Uhm, it depends which one you mean. There's Emily…" Nick sighed relieved.

"And, Mitchell – they're together by the way." Miley giggled. Nick nodded.

"And then there's Demi and Selena. And Demi would be the one who would approve if she heard that you're taught to be a gentleman." Nick looked at Miley shocked. This time he was shocked. Demi and she would approve? He was going crazy, it was official! Yeah, crazy for Miley, a voice inside his head screamed.

"Uhm, enough about me…" Miley blushed again and she was back to being shy.

"Okay, show me the pictures." Miley hesitated. She thought the pictures were terrible. Not because the photographer was bad, but because she thought she was.

"Really? I'm not so sure if they're really good." Nick rolled his eyes.

"What did I tell you today?" Miley sighed. He sounded like a counselor.

"That I shouldn't be insecure?" Nick nodded. Miley handed him the pictures after some convincing. Nick was so surprised after he saw the pictures. Miley looked even more beautiful in those pictures. After some time he looked at her.

Miley watched him looking through the pictures. Surprisingly, it mattered to her if he liked the pictures or not. Not only because he was her agent and he had to like them. But also for other reasons she wasn't sure of herself yet. When he looked at her, her heart stopped.

"These are… awesome!" After his outburst Miley smiled really big. They talked really long about a few companies. Miley agreed to everything Nick said. She probably wouldn't have, if Nick wouldn't have complimented her pictures that much.

After about an hour they walked back to the building. Miley was free to go. Her first appointment with a company was in two days, until then she had time to relax. At the entrance Miley turned to Nick.

"Thank you so much for paying for my lunch and for supporting me with my model career. I still don't get it, why they wanted me to be a model." Nick rolled his eyes.

"What have I told you?" Miley sighed and looked down. Nick saw that as his opportunity and leaned forward. He whispered in her ear once again.

"Don't be so insecure." Then he kissed her cheek and walked into the building, leaving a blushing Miley smiling like a goof. Nick wasn't any better. When he reached his office, he started happy dancing which he wouldn't have done in public. That was until Linda walked in and he sat down in his chair, grinning from ear to ear.

So I thought it would take me longer, but I guess I had a lot of ideas... well, I really hope you enjoyed this one as well and review more. The more you review, the faster I get. So review!!!
