Gosh! I'm sorry for lateness of this! I've had such a hectic month! My job has been crazy! This will be my last update for at least a couple of weeks as I am away for a bit – treating myself to a holiday!
Thank you for those reviews, I love to read them, every one means a lot to me.
AstronSoul & DoIHaveTo - After re- reading parts I realised I have put some typos in – sorry for that! Some of it might be the 'English' V American spelling, feel free to PM me and tell me otherwise. I've been more vigilant this time, hopefully it will be better! Thanks for pointing it out.
Truscott – Dude, you have no idea how chuffed I am that you had read this, let alone review – you are one of my favourite authors on this site! Thank you!
Keane – Somewhere Only We Know
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.
The next day, still with a slight hangover, Lilly and Miley had been woken up extra early by Mamaw to do all the mucking out, much to their displeasure. "I can't be bothered to do this anymore." Lilly said as she tried to shovel muck in to her wheelbarrow, swearing when she missed it.
"Tell me about it." Miley wheeled her barrow of muck past. "Last boxes, I figure we can have some fun after."
Lilly dropped her fork all together when she saw Miley's grin flash past. "Fun?" She said suggestively as she raised her eyebrows.
"If you want, but I have something else in mind. Best get going." Miley drew out the last part of the sentence.
At that comment Lilly shovelled as fast as she could and finished the box in record time. "Ok. I'm done, what's this about?" Lilly said running over to Miley and jumping up and down like a small child.
"I swear you're worse than any of my fans."
"Well, technically I am your biggest fan; I just have a few more perks." Lilly loosely put her arms round Miley's neck as kissed her slowly.
"Okay Lil's, don't start that." Miley took Lilly's hands from around her neck and pulled her in the required direction. "Come on!" Lilly followed as Miley brought her to the back of the barn to reveal an ATV. "Mamaw's new toy! I thought maybe you and I could take it for a spin?" Miley gave Lilly a devilish grin.
"Seriously?" Lilly looked like an excited five year old once more. "Wait, will Mamaw allow us to take it?"
"She said there's nothing I'm not allowed to drive." She shrugged. "Come on Lil, you know you want to." Miley allowed her breath to tickle the side of Lilly's neck, causing a small shiver.
"You're like the devil on my shoulder. By the way, I'm driving." Lilly said as she mounted the ATV. Miley slid on behind Lilly and waited for her to start it up. "Miles, how do you start it?"
Miley let out a loud laugh. "Oh Lil, you do make me laugh." Miley leant forward, making sure she pressed her front firmly in to Lilly's back. "Turn the ignition on, hold the clutch, press the ignition switch and then give a bit of gas." Lilly did as she was told and the engine roared in to life.
"Okay, how do I make it move?"
"Gears." Miley pointed to a pedal next to Lilly's left foot. "One is down and the rest are up. Do you need to know where the breaks are?" Miley mocked.
"Shut up." Lilly pushed her foot down on the pedal and got the ATV moving. "This is slow." She complained.
"Well go a bit faster." Lilly opened up the gas and the ATV responded immediately. "Fuck me Lil's!" Miley yelled grabbing on to her girlfriends waist. "Move up the gears! Don't break it!" Lilly continued to go faster and faster. "Ok, you might want to slow down a touch." Miley gripped harder to Lilly, fighting gravity that wanted to rip her of the back.
Three or four miles out Lilly came to a halt on top of the hill. "This is stunning." Lilly switched off the ATV and turned to look at her girlfriend who was currently looking rather white. "Miles, you okay?"
"I think I've just seen my life flash before my eyes."
Lilly gave a small laugh. "Live a little, I wasn't going fast. I never knew that somewhere like this would exist. Look at that, the sun's just peeking over the next hill." Lilly sniffed. "And it smells so good out here. Like..." She took another intake of breath, trying to find a suitable adjective.
Miley rested her chin on Lilly's shoulder and gazed across the open space. "Remember when I told you I had a special place in Tennessee?" Lilly gave a curt nod. "This is it."
"It's beautiful, breathtaking even." Lilly felt a light kiss next to her right ear, reaching round she pulled her girlfriends arms around her waist. "I could stay here all day."
"Why don't we?" Miley slipped her hand underneath Lilly's t-shirt and rubbed the bare skin.
Lilly gave a barely audible moan. "I'd love to, but I know I'll be hungry time lunch comes around."
"Well it's a good thing that I brought this." Miley tapped the box that was behind her. "There's a waterfall just behind those trees." Miley dipped her hand just below Lilly's shorts.
"You had this planned all along didn't you?" Lilly smiled before she felt another slip of her girlfriend's hand. "Miles, steady on there." Lilly moaned once more, her eyes rolling to the back of her head.
"Why? We're all alone. I thought you wanted some earlier." Miley slipped her hand further done the front of Lilly and into her panties.
"I did. I mean I do." Lilly leaned back in to her girlfriend, the pressure that was building in her was almost excruciating. Miley used her body weight to push Lilly forward and back on to her hand, skilfully hitting Lilly's most sensitive spot. "Oh my God!" She said very quickly. "Miles, I can't take this." She felt waves of sweat rolling over her body. Lilly had no idea why she was so aroused, it wasn't like she and Miley had exactly refrained from one another in Tennessee. Miley bent her head and kissed Lilly's neck slowly. "So close." Lilly whispered rocking her hips back and forth in sync with her lover's hand. Miley gave one last move of her hand and felt Lilly begin to shudder as she tripped in to euphoria.
"You can't be serious!" Lilly yelled as she sat up to looking at her grinning girlfriend.
"Perfectly. No one will see us."
"Really? Knowing our track record they will."
"Okay..." Miley lowered her accent and accentuated the last syllable. She stood up and began unbuttoning her shirt before letting it fall to the floor.
"What are you doing?" Lilly couldn't help but notice that Miley had somehow forgotten her bra. A bare chest with erect nipples was all Lilly could focus on.
"Going for a swim." Miley shrugged as she removed that last of her clothes.
Lilly could only stare and gawp as she slowly watched Miley disappear under water. "Miley?" Lilly watched as Miley put her head completely under the water before slowly coming back up.
"Okay, I'm so coming in!" Lilly stood up and hastily began to remove her clothes.
What changed your mind?" Miley said with a smirk as she swam further away.
"Are you kid-" Lilly's foot got stuck in her shorts and she fell in to the river, Miley couldn't help but laugh.
"That's not funny!" Lilly whinged as she removed her shorts and panties before lobbing them on to the bank.
"Sorry, but it is." Miley continued to laugh as Lilly swum closer to her.
"I'll make you regret that." Lilly gave Miley a devilish smirk.
"Oh shit." Miley swam away as fast as she could but there was no way she could out do Lilly's front crawl. "Mercy!" She shouted, holding her hands above the water.
"Oh no." Lilly shook her head. "You know I don't do mercy. Under you go Miles!" She said placing her hands on Miley's shoulders and pushing her down.
Miley popped back up, running her hands through her hair to push it backwards. "Are we square now?" She wiped her eyes, yesterdays make up smudging underneath.
"Not quite, FYI, you look like a panda." Miley pulled a face. "I think you owe me a kiss." Lilly said treading water, all the time getting closer to Miley.
"Not the harshest of punishments." She said with a smile before gently kissing Lilly. "Come on, there's a shallow bit over here." Miley said allowing the rest of her body to float upwards before swimming across to some rocks.
"Not sort of the kiss I wanted!" Lilly moaned as she swum over.
"I know. Maybe I can give you a better one." Lilly felt her feet touch the floor of the river and walked over to where Miley was standing. "Come a bit further out." Lilly kept going until she felt Miley's hands on her waist tightening. "How about a kiss a little lower?" Miley was now using a much deeper, huskier voice than usual and it was having, what Lilly presumed, the desired effect.
Lilly felt the slickness of Miley's wet body against her own and gave a small moan. Miley placed a kiss on her girlfriend's neck before slowly moving her body around so she was face to face with her lover. "What are you doing Miles?" Lilly said looking straight in to Miley's electric blue eyes. She watched as Miley went to place an open mouth kiss on her neck before stopping an inch or so away and blowing softly. Normally this wouldn't affect Lilly, but the fact of the water being so cold and Miley's breath being slightly warmer made goose bumps appear on her skin. Miley begun to lower herself, repeating this until she reached her goal. "Would you still like that kiss?" Her eyes flashed and looked at Lilly who merely nodded.
Lilly felt Miley's lips touch her skin and she could do nothing to stop her eyes rolling back in her head. "Oh my God." She whispered.
"Since when did the sun start going down?" Lilly cracked open an eye to find Miley looking down on her in the fading light.
"Since you fell asleep." She stroked one cheek.
"Oh God." Lilly rubbed her eyes. "I didn't mean to."
"Its fine, I like watching you sleep." Miley said softly before leaning down and kissing Lilly softly.
"I'm sorry."
"Lil its fine, don't worry; I love just spending time with you, even if you are asleep." She bent down and touched noses with Lilly.
Lilly smiled, her perfect teeth gleaming in the evening sun before she slowly stretched out. She moaned as she felt her back crack. "Do you think we should get back?"
"Just one more minute."
Mamaw thought back to two years ago when Miley arrived back as the spoiled brat Hannah. She couldn't honestly believe what her granddaughter had turned in to. Miley had turned in to a Barbie doll with a personality to match. She was one of those teenage messed up kids who had everything they wanted and unfortunately stood on everyone to get it. The only thing she was grateful for was that Miley had never done drugs or at least been caught doing them.
Mamaw looked out of her kitchen window to observe Miley and Lilly as they tripped in hand in hand as the sun finally disappeared behind the hills. She knew what they had been up to, but she really couldn't care right now, she knew it was far more important that they got some time to themselves. The way they both looked right now was so far from the papers or fans could imagine. Miley looked like an ordinary girl in her tatty clothing with hair so messy that it could have been mistaken for a birds nest. The way Lilly looked at Miley at that moment was nothing other than pure love. She smiled to herself as she saw Lilly pull a twig out of Miley's hair.
Miley had turned in to a wonderful young woman, albeit not in the way she had imagined. Nevertheless the change in her granddaughter was phenomenal. She was back to being the happy, carefree person that she was before becoming famous and Mamaw had a feeling that Lilly was a major reason for that.
Luanne sat packing her bag up for the couple of weeks she would be staying with her Mamaw, she thanked her Father for needing to go and buy more stock at various cattle markets around the state. Bobbie Ray actually didn't question Luanne staying by herself, she was old enough to look after herself, had been since she was eleven. Nevertheless, Luanne wanted to go to her Mamaw's, it meant she could put her next plan in to action. Stuffing the last few items in to her bag, she closed it and left out the pieces she wouldn't let out of her sight until her plan was complete. It already had some pretty damning evidence.
She stood up, faced the mirror and checked herself. She had to admit she looked good; she had piercing green eyes and long mahogany hair. Her body was to die for according to all the boys at college, she had a fairly large chest, a tiny waist curves in all the right places and thanks to working on the farm nearly every day, was well toned. Her mood suddenly turned and she flipped, hitting the mirror with both hands. So WHY didn't anyone want to be with her? WHY did no one want to spend any time with her? WHY was it that whenever she slept with someone they never called her back? And WHY was it that her cousin had everything? She ground her teeth bitterly before looking up and smiling. The edge of one side of her lip lifting, making her look sinister and far older than her years.
This was her time.
This was her new start.
Who do you think you are?
Is this what you came for?
Well, this means war.
