7. Perfect Date? CHECK
Nick was running up and down the staircase of the really big skyscraper. He wasn't sure if everything was perfect and he had to pick up Miley in ten minutes. He was sweating really badly and he had to change his clothes. But if he drove home he'd be late, but maybe if he would speed up a little bit too much, then he could probably make it. So he decided that a little stop at his apartment wouldn't hurt.
He jumped into his car and drove home as fast as he could. If the police would catch him, he would get a speeding ticket. Or more, but he didn't care. He had to get to Miley's as fast as possible. He reached his apartment and opened the door.
Nick ran into his room and into his closet as fast as possible. He changed into another dress shirt and made sure there were no sweat stains. Then he looked at his watch. Five minutes, he thought. I can still make it.
He raced out of his apartment, no after locking it of course and ran back into his car. He thanked god that Miley's apartment wasn't that far away from his.
He reached her building a little too late, but it was only one or two maybe even three minutes. He ran upstairs and knocked on her door several times. Miley opened it with a confused look. She looked him up and down.
"Why are you so worried and panting?" Nick tried to catch his breath as he leaned his hand onto the doorframe.
"I- I'm sorry I'm late." He pressed out and finally caught his breath. That's when he found time to take a look at Miley and he lost his breath again. She looked beautiful. She had a dress on, that reached a little beneath her knees and matching high heels on. Her hair was falling onto her shoulders and down her back until about her waist in perfect curls and her make-up was only slightly done. She looked breathtakingly gorgeous.
"But, you're not really late?" Nick looked her up and down and was happy that his mouth wasn't open. He would be drooling if it were.
"You look… gorgeous, beautiful, and breathtakingly adorable, unbelievably…" Miley giggled and put one finger on his lips.
"Thank you. But, it isn't that much." Nick rolled his eyes and took her hand in his gently.
"It is enough." Miley smiled at him.
"Thank you. Now, where are you taking me?" Nick tipped his nose and shook his head while smiling.
"That's for me to know and you to find out." Miley sighed. She didn't really like surprises. But she knew that Nick's surprise had to be good, because… well it was Nick after all. But, however she did complain.
"Oh, come on! I hate surprises." Nick smirked at her.
"Well, you will love this one." Miley rolled her eyes. She knew she would love it. The surprise came from Nick, so she had to love it! She looked out of the car window and saw all the buildings passing by. She had really no clue where they were about to go. She guessed to a restaurant, but they passed every single one of them. She suddenly started doubting that Nick's surprise would be good. Maybe he was still like an awkward teenager, not knowing what to do, so he cooked something at home to show her that he could cook?
But then again, Nick was probably one of the most major people she had ever seen. She sighed and looked at Nick. He kept glancing over at her, wondering if it was appropriate to grab her hand or not. He decided not to, but still kept glancing at her because she just looked too beautiful. He hasn't been on a date for a really long time and his last girlfriend didn't like his dates because she was more like a boy than a girl. But with Miley, he never knew what she liked or didn't. She could love his romantic antics or laugh at him.
"Are we there?" Nick looked at Miley quickly before turning back to the street.
"Almost." Miley sighed again and leaned her head back. She was really nervous. Suddenly, the car came to a halt and Nick got out. Before Miley even registered what happened, her door opened and Nick held his hand out to her.
"We arrived, mi lady." Miley giggled and grabbed his hand. Trust him to say something like that. After Nick closed the door, they walked into the big building hand in hand. He didn't really feel the need to let go and neither did Miley so they held hands.
Miley noticed that this building wasn't a restaurant. She wasn't sure if she was disappointed or not. Should she be? She didn't really expect to go to a fancy restaurant, but Nick seemed like the romantic kind of guy and when they went into the building she was quick to notice that this building was not a romantic place. She sighed as they stepped into the elevator.
"What, trying to get me into bed already?" Nick looked at her with big eyes. Was that the impression she got? That was embarrassing.
"No! This isn't a hotel or anything. You know what? I thought I could go without it, but I'll have to blindfold you." Miley frowned as he put the blindfold onto her. The elevator opened and they walked onto the top of the building. Nick looked around and checked if everything was fine. The candles were lit, although the sun hadn't set yet. He let out a nervous breath and led Miley over to the table for two.
"Okay, we're here." I stood behind Miley, placed her in the right place and took the blindfold off slowly. He was really nervous and when Miley didn't say anything, he grew even more nervous.
Miley on the other hand was speechless. The sun almost set, so they could watch the sunset while eating at the beautiful table for two. The candles were lit and it looked all so peaceful. They could easily overlook the whole city. She had no clue what to say. She turned around to see Nick standing there with a single rose in hand.
"Do you like it?" He sounded so shy and unsure of himself, Miley would've loved to just cuddle him. She stared at him a really long time making him even more nervous. Then she shook her head. Nick's heart stopped when he saw her answer.
"No, I don't like it." She said slowly. Nick scowled Larry silently while he tried to make his heart beat again, but right then it was hurting. But then, Miley's face finally lit up with happiness.
"I love it!" She jumped into Nick's arms and Nick had to register what just happened. She loved it… She loved it! Nick hugged her back relieved.
"You had me there for a moment. I actually thought you didn't like it." Miley giggled and pulled back.
"No, it's so beautiful! No one has ever done that for me! Oh my god, I think I'm going to cry." And just as she said that, tears started coming out of her eyes. Nick quickly wiped them away. Miley giggled embarrassed.
"I'm sorry." Nick hugged her tightly and rubbed her back.
"Don't apologize. You're welcome anyway."
"Oh yeah. Thank you so much! I feel like I'm not worth it." Nick looked at her shocked. Not worth it? She was worth the world to him.
"Miley, you are definitely worth it! You are more than worth it. The person who doesn't treat you right is not worth you presence." Miley blushed.
"Okay, now you're being cheesy." Nick shrugged.
"Anything to make you blush. Do you have an idea how cute you look when you blush?" Miley blushed even more.
"Can we sit down?" Nick nodded and pulled Miley's chair out and helped her sit down.
"Thank you." Nick sat down himself and just looked at Miley. When she noticed that he just stared at her, she blushed delicately and looked down.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Nick chuckled quietly and just shrugged.
"Because you look really beautiful, Miley." She blushed again.
"You just want to make me blush again." Nick shrugged.
"Yeah, well it is worth it." Miley giggled.
"Well, what did you cook?"
After some time, they finished eating. It was time for the sun to set. But Nick had another plan, not watching the sun set over the city. He had planned to go to the beach and it wasn't even that far away, so he grabbed Miley's hand and dragged her to the elevator.
"Where are we going? Shouldn't we clean this all up?" Nick chuckled.
"No, because I got someone to do that." Miley shook her head.
"And why are we hurrying so much?"
"Because I have another surprise." Miley groaned.
"There is nothing that could top that dinner." Nick smirked.
"Oh, you'll see." They walked to his car and got in. Nick started up the car, checking if the sun is not sinking yet. It wasn't, so he drove to the beach quickly.
"Why are you in such a hurry, again?"
"Because, if I don't hurry up now, then the surprise would be ruined." Miley nodded.
"Okay, whatever you say." They arrived at the beach a little while later.
"Aw, you took me to the beach? This is so cute." Nick blushed and quickly opened the car door for her, grabbing her hand once again. It was like he couldn't stop it. It was like his hand was pulled to hers. But Miley just gripped his hand tighter. When they walked onto the beach Miley stopped.
"Wait, got to get rid of these." She pulled her shoes of and carried them, while walked through the sand barefoot. Nick smiled at her. She was something else, he was sure of that. Nick started to get nervous again, when they were about to walk to the last surprise he had for her.
"Okay, we're about to reach the second and last surprise. I really hope you like it." Miley smiled at him and nodded.
"I'm sure I will." Nick smiled back at her and they walked up to a big loveseat, which was right in the middle of the beach. It had rose pedals around it that were shaped like a heart. Miley ran up to it and smiled, and then she ran back to Nick and hugged him.
"You are too cute, you know that?" Nick blushed and put his chin on her head. They broke apart and walked to the loveseat and sat down next to each other. Nick felt a little awkward sitting next to Miley that close, but still being that far away. Miley rolled her eyes when she felt Nick moved uncomfortably and just leant into him, leaning her head on his shoulder.
At Miley's move, Nick jumped a little. But he regained his composure and put an arm around her pulling her closer. And together they watched the sunset. It was completely silent and peaceful. They didn't say a word for a really long time. But Miley felt like she needed to say something. Not because the silence was awkward. No, this silence was really comfortable for her. It was like this silence where you don't have to say anything because the moment is just so perfect.
But still, Miley felt like she had to say something then. It was dark and she knew the date was about to end. And that's why she needed to say something. Because she didn't want the date to end just yet. She slowly looked at Nick.
"Nick?" Her voice came out as almost a whisper and she thought Nick couldn't hear her, but he did. He turned to her and looked into her eyes.
"Yeah?" Miley smiled at Nick which he returned with his own.
"This date was really perfect. I think you couldn't have done it better. Thank you so much." Nick smiled at her warmly.
"You're welcome. I really think that this date was the best date I have ever been on. And I think it was with the best girl I have ever been with." Miley blushed and looked down. He was really sweet. Nick smiled at her.
The only question running through is mind was 'Should I kiss her?' Nothing else was important at that moment. Only if he should or could kiss her.
And with Miley, her thoughts were if he would finally kiss her. She was waiting for him to do so. She knew he wanted to. But she was waiting for him to make the first move. This couldn't be so hard. She did agree to go on a date with him! Why would she not want to kiss him? Miley sighed loudly.
Nick turned to her again. Her face was looking forward. This could be the perfect time, he thought. So he slowly put his finger under her chin and turned his face to her. Miley's heart started beating faster. Finally, she thought. And slowly, way too slowly for Miley's liking, he leaned his face towards hers. He stopped before he touched her lips, waiting for her to do the last 10 %. He heard from Larry that the guy was supposed to do the first 90 % and the girl the last 10. But Larry wasn't a reliable source, so he wasn't so sure of his move.
But Miley was glad that he waited. She had enough guys kiss her without waiting for her 'permission' and then going at it while she wasn't enjoying it at all. But with Nick waiting for Miley to do the last work, she could decide if she really wanted to kiss him or not. But she did want to kiss him, so she leaned forward the last couple of centimeters.
Nick was dying while Miley was hesitating. He was doubting his move. That was until Miley leaned forward and put her lips over his.
The second their lips touched, they felt the spark. It was like a shock ran through their bodies. But it felt like they couldn't pull away either. First, the kiss was shy and soft and gentle, but then, the longer it lasted, the more heated it got. But after some time, air was needed and they pulled away. Nick put his forehead onto Miley's.
Miley looked into Nick's eyes. They were soft and brown. She sighed happily. Nick smiled at her and put his hand onto her cheek. First kisses were always awkward for him, but not this one. It was just perfect. Miley leaned forward again and kissed him again, she couldn't get enough of him. Nick smiled and kissed her back.
After some time they pulled back and just sat there and watch the stars. It was probably the most comfortable silence Miley ever experienced. She snuggled up to Nick even more.
"This is just perfect." It was only a whisper, but it made Nick's smile double over. He was grinning from ear to ear when he gained enough confidence to make the next move.
"I know how to make it more perfect." Miley looked up at him curiously.
"Oh really?" Nick nodded and pulled back a little. Miley looked at him confused.
"I don't know if you think it is too early or something, but I just have to ask you. I've been dying to ask you since the beginning but I couldn't find the right time. So I came to think that every time is the perfect time and I just found this second to be the most perfect one." Miley nodded. She was still confused. Where was he going with this?
"Okay, go on." Nick smiled.
"So, I'd like to know… will you… would you… would you like to be my girlfriend?" Miley's eyes went wide. If she was really honest, she didn't expect him to ask her just yet. But then again, she really wanted him to ask her. She was so shocked that she didn't answer for a few moments.
Miley's silence made Nick panic. Wasn't that a sign that she didn't want to be his girlfriend?
"You know, you don't have to say yes if you don't to be! I just thought I'd ask you now because I thought this date was perfect since you said so. But you don't have to say yes just because you feel like you have too. You know, you could just run away now because-" But Miley silenced him as she just kissed him again happily.
Nick was shocked when she kissed him, but kissed her back nonetheless. After some time he pulled back.
"Is that a yes?" Miley shook her head. Nick panicked. But then she smiled.
"That is a definitely." Nick sighed relieved and hugged Miley.
"I think you just made me the happiest man alive." Miley giggled and kissed Nick on the cheek.
They arrived at Miley's apartment at around midnight. They stayed at the beach for a while longer until Miley finally agreed to go home. It was just too perfect to leave this evening. But Nick made her go home because he was responsible enough to know that both of them had to get up early the next morning. Miley would just met up with her best friend Demi. She told him that fifteen minutes after she agreed to Nick's girlfriend. So he thought she would like to sleep long enough to be fresh in the morning.
Miley thought Nick was cute when he thought like that. So she agreed to go home after he promised he would come to her apartment after Demi left and she would call. He would be there the second that she called.
So now, they were on the front step of the building. Miley smiled at Nick as she hugged his waist close to her.
"Don't leave." Nick chuckled as he hugged her back.
"I have to leave. But I'll see you tomorrow, alright?" Miley nodded and pulled back. Nick smiled down at her and kissed her softly before releasing her from her arms.
"I have to go now. Goodnight!" Miley kissed his cheek again, before going into the building. Nick sighed to himself happily. This night was better than he thought. He hadn't even realized that Miley was his girlfriend until he walked into his apartment. The second the door closed he realized it. He realized Miley was his and his only. That made him so happy that he suddenly started happy dancing, just like he did two weeks ago. But this time he ran around the living room singing his favorite song. If Miley could see him, she'd laugh at him but he didn't care. He was incredibly happy. Nothing could make him happier in that minute.
