I know it's been a couple weeks, but I have been busy with college. Thanks for all the reviews so far!
Disclaimer: I still don't own Hannah Montana
Miley's POV
"EW!!!" I screech.
"Oh hey Miles", greets Jackson, who's sitting on the couch, or should I say Jackson's stomach. Sweet niblets, I thought he stopped painting a face on his stomach. Unfortunately, that's not all of it.
"Hey Miley", greets Lilly, who's sitting next to Jackson, and also has her stomach painted like Jackson.
"Lilly, what do you think you are doing?" I ask.
"Oh you see I was following you and Oliver but then I was like, these two clearly don't need me to keep tabs on you two because you were clearly happily in love together so I was about to leave and then I ran into Jackson and we came back here but first we got ice cream and I had extra candy and syrup on mine and now we're here and Jackson had this idea of painting a face on his stomach which I thought was stupid at first but then I tried it and it was actually quite fun and now you're here", she said rather quickly. Dang Sugar!
"Oh and Jackson and I are dating", she said like it was no big deal.
"WHAT!!" I exclaim. Could this night be any weirder?
"Miley you said before that you would be okay with it so this shouldn't be that big of a deal", she states.
"Fine, it's not like I could stop you two anyway", I say, obviously defeated.
"Enough about us, how was your date with Oken?" asks Jackson.
"Fun... you know for two best friends hanging out because that's all it was", I say.
"Any kissing?" asks Lilly who is now bouncing up and down the couch.
"No", I lie.
"Miley, your face is turning red", teases Lilly who is now bouncing faster.
"Fine, but it was only cheek action. You know platonic, best friend cheek action", I say.
"My plan is sooo working!" exclaims Lilly.
Sunday
Today I have a Hannah event (well sort of… I'll elaborate in a second), but that won't stop Lilly from moving forward in our bet. Instead of Miley and Oliver going out as a couple, it's actually Hannah and Mike making their first appearance as a "couple". However, the fact that I'm still fake dating Oliver isn't bothering me at the moment. Part of it is because hanging out with Oliver is always fun (and I swear that's all it is), but mostly I am still getting my mind around the fact that Lilly and Jackson are…dating. Luckily, Jackson isn't tagging along today, so I don't have to have a repeat of last night. I'm still trying to get that image out of my head!
Ok back to the Hannah event: I'm actually going to another one of Traci's parties as Hannah Montana. I'm sure that it's for a completely stupid reason, but I still have to go. She's one of those people that you have to stay in their good graces or there's nothing but drama.
Oliver and Lilly, dressed as Mike and Lola respectively, arrived right before the limo arrived. We got in a few minutes later and of course Lilly was going on and on about how we are going to cave and end up going steady for good. Oliver and I just ignored her, or tried to at least.
When we arrived and were let in by the security guard, Traci saw us and greeted us.
"Hannah!" she exclaims as we gave each other the customary air kisses. I notice that she has her cat in her arms as usual.
"Hey Traci", I say.
"Oh and I see you brought your delicious friend Mike Standley", she says, winking at him.
"Don't get your hopes up Traci, Mike and Hannah are going at now", says Lilly.
I just glared at her for saying that.
"Oh I see…well Hannah you sure know how to pick them. Anyhow, I'm glad you two were able to make it since it's such an important event", she says.
"Hey what about me?" asks Lilly with offense evident in her voice.
"Right you too, I suppose", she says rather unconvincingly.
"Traci, you never told me what the big event is", I say.
"Oh right, Madonna is getting married", she says.
"Madonna? As in the singer?" Oliver asks. He doesn't know Traci very well so he's going to be in for a big surprise when…
"No silly…Madonna is my precious pure-bred cat", she says as she holds up her cat. "She is marrying the cat of Charles Vanderbark, you know the diamond heir. Madonna hasn't been this happy since Momma bought her that pure gold dish with diamond lettering".
Then a security guard came up to Traci and whispered something in her ear.
"Oh my… Hannah I'll catch up with you later. My mother just crashed my party and I have to make sure that she leaves A.S.A.P. Chao", says Traci.
"So Hannah where's the…" Oliver.
"Buffet table", I finished for him.
He then nodded eagerly.
"Right over there. Do you see", I said pointing to it.
"Ashton Kutcher. I see. Do you want me to bring you back anything?" he asks.
"No thanks", I say. He then quickly made his way over to the food, nearly knocking over Ashley Tisdale in the process.
"Wow", Lilly squeaks, giving me a toothy grin.
"What?" I ask.
"You two are now finishing each other's sentences. That's big", says Lilly.
"No it isn't. We're best friends. It's what best friends do", I say in defense.
"You know whether you're Miley or Hannah, that excuse is getting old. Just admit you like him", says Lilly.
"I told you before Lilly that I love him like a goldfish. I don't want to kiss him, but I'd be sad if I had to flush him down the toilet", I say.
"Whatever you say Miley. Oh look Orlando Bloom and guess what, the restraining order expired!" exclaimed Lilly.
Wow Orlando Bloom filed a restraining order? I didn't realize that, but I'm far from surprised.
"Go on", I say pointing towards Orlando's direction. I feel bad for him, but trying to stop her is like trying to pick up Uncle Earl on Thanksgiving. IMPOSSIBLE
"Thanks. ORLANDO!" yelled Lilly as she ran towards him.
Watching Lilly chase him was actually amusing; so much so that I didn't realize that Oliver had sat down next to me with a plate full of food.
"Hey Miley", said Oliver as he had a huge sandwich in his hands. "Wanna bite?"
"No thanks", I answer, even though it did look good and I was hungry. Then my stomach grumbled, which Oliver noticed.
"Your stomach says otherwise. Here", he said as he broke his sandwich in half and gave it to me. "I'll be right back".
He returned a couple minutes later with a bottle of water.
"Thanks Oliver", I say.
We ate in relative silence, but exchanged glances and smiles. It was a comfortable silence, not an awkward one. Both of us were mostly occupied, however, watching Lilly continue to chase Orlando Bloom. That girl must have put extra sugar in her cereal since she was like the Energizer Bunny. She just kept going and going and going.
As we were finishing up, some uninvited people approached us, also known as the paparazzi.
"Hannah, sources say that you and Mike are going out now. How long has it been?" asked one of the paparazzi guys.
Unfortunately for me, Lilly decided to give up on catching Orlando Bloom and headed over to "help" me out.
"Actually we…" I start.
"Hannah and Mike have been dating since Friday. They kept things on the DL for the first couple days so they get some alone time", says Lilly.
"So Mike how does it feel to be dating international pop-sensation Hannah Montana?" asks another guy.
"Uh…well…umm…" started Oliver, who was a bit dumbfounded by all the media attention.
"Mike loves Hannah, right Mike. Just like Hannah loves Mike", says Lola proudly.
"Uh…well…umm…" continues Oliver.
"What Mike is trying to say is that things are good so far, but at the same time we're taking things slow…really slow…like a couple of turtles", I say. I then elbow Oliver to snap him back to reality.
"Yeah, what Hannah said", says Oliver.
"How about a kiss?" asked another member of the paparazzi.
"What?" Oliver and I say simultaneously.
"Come on you two" urged one of them.
"Look over there, I think I just saw Jake Ryan and Mikayla trying to sneak out without talking to you. Better hurry or you'll miss them", I lie pointing at the exit.
They were about to turn around and leave before Jake walked by and waved at me. Sweet Niblets, could ego-boy have any worse timing.
"Nice try you two", said one of the paparazzi members. "Come on, a quick one and then we'll go bother the Olson twins".
I was about to protest when I saw Oliver turn to me. I see him slowly leaning in towards me. I'm telling myself to get myself out of there, but just like in the movies, my body isn't listening. Instead, I find myself leaning in towards him too. Our lips meet and we share a soft kiss. I hear the cameras go off and then I feel Oliver breaking the kiss. It wasn't until Lilly tapped me on the shoulder that I realized that I was still standing there and that I had my eyes closed. When I open my eyes, I see Lilly smiling at me and the paparazzi chasing Mary-Kate Olsen.
"So you still don't like Oliver?" asks Lilly in a teasing way.
"No, we were just…getting rid of them. They wouldn't have given us any peace otherwise", I defend.
"And that's why you were standing there with your lips puckered long after they and Oliver left", says Lilly.
"Where is Oliver anyway?" I ask.
"Over at the buffet table. Typical donut, always has food on his mind", she says.
"Yeah", as I look at Oliver. Strangely though I notice that he has a plate in his hand, but is just staring at the food.
Not too long after, Oliver, Lilly and I get back to the limo and make our way home. Of course Lilly insisted that we sit next to each other.
"So, are you two looking forward to school tomorrow?" asks Lilly.
"Who looks forward to school?" asks Oliver, which causes me to chuckle a bit too loudly for comfort. Lilly then looks at me with a grin on her face.
"What?" I ask, trying to act innocent.
"Anyway, what I meant was: are you two looking forward to your first school day as a couple?" asks Lilly.
"It won't be too bad, except for maybe Amber and Ashley", I say.
Ugh Amber and Ashley, the two girls who love to torture me out of spite. They'll never let me hear the end of this.
"Just ignore them", says Lilly. "Well here's my stop. See you two lovebirds tomorrow".
Then it was just the two of us, alone for the first time since the kiss.
"So…" I say awkwardly.
"So…", Oliver repeats.
"So, I guess you finally got your kiss from Hannah Montana after all these years", I say referring to the days of his crush on my alter-ego in an attempt to break the tension. I throw in a weak laugh at the end.
"Yeah", he says laughing a little. "And this time I know it was you instead of the dog".
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that" I say, now giggling uncontrollably. "You got to admit though, that the dog was a good kisser".
"Not as good as you", blurts out Oliver before promptly covering his mouth with both hands in embarrassment.
"What I meant was… that…well…umm..." stutters Oliver.
Unlike Lilly, I decide to give him a break.
"It's okay Oliver, I'll take that as a compliment", I say to him as I put my arm around him to reassure him.
We soon arrived as his house. Before leaving, he told me that he had fun today and gave me a quick peck on the cheek. I must have zoned out afterwards because the next thing I knew, I was at my house and Daddy had my door open.
"Hey bud, it's time to get out. I'm sure Steve (our limo driver) would like to go home before Christmas", says Daddy.
"Ok Daddy", I say as I get out and make my way to the house.
I make my way to my room and collapse on my bed. There are so many things going through my head right now, not the least of which is Oliver and the bet I made with Lilly.
In the next chapter I'll probably do both Miley and Oliver's POV rather than just Miley's like I've been doing in the past couple chapters.
As always please review (even if you are anonymous). :)
