Chapter seven:
Lily and I soon after our moment on the beach went our separate ways, it being Sunday we both had school in the morning, and for answer of where I went to school I told her I was a homeschooled freak. She laughed at that, and it gave me butterflies. Her laugh was adorable, and I resisted the urge to hug her as we said our goodbyes.
As I went home I couldn't help but smile and think of the things Lily had said about me, she was adorable. I worried that she wouldn't like me when she knew that I was Mike after all…I was lying to her, and not telling the truth…and she was telling me things that she wouldn't flat out tell "Miley". But maybe I would be able to make her understand…
------
Morning came sooner than I would have liked, and before I knew it I was rolling out of bed turning off my annoying alarm clock feeling like I had only gotten maybe a second of sleep since I had been replaying the day at the beach with Lily over and over in my mind trying to figure out what it was she wished she knew "what it would be like if…". My night having been consumed by curious thoughts of that, I fell asleep somewhere around four or five A.M., having to wake up at six to be able to have my hair done and to leave to get Lily at seven to make it to school before seven: thirty. I was dead on my feet, so I found myself in skinny jeans(girls), and my boy moccasins, with a white v-neck t-shirt on. Only having ran a brush though my hair, it was slightly wavy, but at least not frizzy. Feeling tired as ever, and not wanting to bother with trying to look any better, I left the house thirty minutes sooner than I usually do. Meaning I arrived at Lily's thirty minutes sooner than I usually do. I looked around to see if her mother was home, she wasn't, she hardly ever is. So I let myself in the back door with the key I had, knowing Lily wouldn't be up yet I stumbled in the dim house towards her room.
I opened her door slowly, and peeked in, she was still asleep…she didn't have to try to look good. I smiled as I made my way around her bed and slipped my moccasins off, crawling under the covers with her I fell asleep shortly after. Then I pleasantly woke to Lily yelling, "What the hell?!"
Guessing she noticed my presence, I looked up, "It's just me Lils, go back to sleep."
"Oh…" She chuckled, "You almost scared the shit out of me."
I rolled my eyes, "Yeah actually…I've come to molest you, it's a frequent thing I do."
"Hah, shut up." She smashed a pillow down on my head.
"You have a thing for hitting me with pillows!" I said.
"That's because they work so well," She moved the pillow, and laid back down next to me. "So have long have you been here?"
"Uh…I don't know, that depends on the time…but since about 6:30 I suppose."
"Shit…what time is it?" She glanced over to the clock on her dresser, "Oh crap! It's eight o'clock! We need to go Miley!" She started to get out of bed.
I groaned and grabbed her arm, pulling her back down beside me, "Lets ditch instead…I was so comfortable here."
She gave me a disapproving look.
"Please?" I pouted.
"Fiiine…only because I have a Physics test today though, and I'm sooo not ready for it." She sighed, and relaxed next to me once again.
I snuggled closer to her, pulling her arm across me. "So, tell me about your day yesterday."
"My day…?" I peeked up at her, and noticed her blush lightly. "Oh…uhm, well I saw Ohio again. And Oliver…he was being a jerk, so remember to be pissed at him next time you see him."
"What'd Ollie do?"
"He made fun of g-…Ohio."
I smirked, "Did Ohio deserve it?"
"No! Ohio is actually a pretty sweet kid, you should definitely meet him. You too would hit it off I'm sure."
"Oh yeah? Tell me about him."
"Well…he sort of reminds me of you, knows when to be quiet…gets nervous, and always gives people the wrong impression of himself." She laughed, "His smile actually…looks just like yours too, now that I think of it."
I coughed, "Really? Maybe he's a long lost relative of the Stewart's."
"You'd like that wouldn't you?" She joked, "Having bird killers from Ohio in your family tree."
"Most definitely," I burrowed in closer to her, enjoying being close. I felt her breath catch when I did so though, "What's wrong, Lily?"
I heard her swallow, "Oh…uh, nothing."
I pulled away a little so I could look her in the eye, "Are you sure? You can tell me anything you know…I won't get mad." I rubbed her arm reassuringly.
"I'm sure." She said quietly, looking at my face intently as if searching for something.
"I don't want you to be upset or anything, if me being close is like bothering you…I didn't know, I've always done it, but if it bothers you just tell me. I'll stop." I started to pull away from her.
"Don't." She pulled me back to her, keeping her arms around me even after I stopped trying to pull away. "Lay with me for a while."
I smiled, "Whatever you want Lily."
As I began to doze, I heard her say, "I love you Miley." Then she brushed my hair back off my face, gently kissing my forehead afterwards, and adding softly, "More than you think."
I desperately wanted to open my eyes and ask what she meant by that, but instead I feigned sleep until I know she herself was asleep. Propping myself up with one arm, I brushed her hair back, out of her face, then thanked my father for encouraging me to be a singer as I began to sing "One in a Million" softly to her. Knowing it was cheesy, but enjoying it anyways. I thought I saw her smile slightly, but when I blinked it was gone. Then, feeling myself grow sleepy again, I whispered, "I love you Lily, more than you think." Then I kissed her, not on the cheek, not on her forehead, but lightly on the lips. Drifting off to sleep, I wondered how even got the balls to do that.
