Another chapter! What is wrong with me? It's only been a month! Inspiration finally came! I felt like I was centring the story too much on Miley and Lilly and I needed to bring in some other characters to get on outsiders perspective. Hopefully you guys have noticed this over the past few chapters. I said I'd try for a longer chapter (it is, but not by much) but I felt this was better shorter as when I expanded it, it didn't work as well. Hopefully this will tie up one loose end for you, I also wanted you guys to understand was happening to Miley's inner thoughts as she's back in Tennessee, so that's something else I'm bringing (or at least trying to) this section of the story. Let me know if you think it could be done better or if you like it. Thanks Guys!

I'm feeling sexy and free
Like glitter's raining on me
You're like a shot of pure gold
I think I'm 'bout to explode.

"Oh look, paparazzi." Miley said sarcastically as she and Lilly walked down town. "That's going to be fun walking back to the car later."

"Wonderful, don't forget to smile." Lilly moved her clutch bag from under one arm to under the other, trying to relieve the heat that was building under her arms. Even at eight in the evening it was hot, she wondered if the heat ever let up. "God it's so hot. I'm sweating." She lifted an arm to check for sweat patches.

Miley watched and shook her head with a smile. "I've never wanted you more." She replied seriously as Lilly looked at her incredulously. "I'm joking you idiot. Tennessee get's up to the forties in the summer."

"I thought it was hot in California, but here it's just ridiculous."

"It's because we always have the breeze from being so close to the ocean, out here it's just hot and humid."

"I just wanna take my clothes off and lie down." A raised brow came from Miley. Lilly didn't even need to look to know what her girlfriend was doing. "I'm so hot right now I can't even think about sex." Lilly regretted wearing a dress, the thing was stifling, but Miley had insisted that she looked smart. "Where are we going?"

"Fleming's. It does some really nice dishes; last time I came here there was a 16oz t-bone steak. When Aunt Dolly told me she wanted to take us out I mentioned this place, I know that you need big portions to keep to you going."

"Ooo." Lilly moaned at the thought of a steak before moaning again at the tight dress. "This thing is going to be even worse if I eat that." She pulled at the front of it.

"Quit moaning, it's an upmarket restaurant, you can't roll up in jeans and a tee." Miley took Lilly's hand in her own, not caring about the sweaty palm mingling with her own. "I like you in that dress. It hugs you in all the right places."

"Not all the right ones, it gives me a right wedgie. I knew I should have gone without panties." Lilly shuffled quickly, moving her hips to try and dislodge what felt like a piece of string.

Miley couldn't help but laugh at her girlfriend. "Well go to the loo when we get there and take them off. Just stuff them in your bag."

Before anything else could be said they heard Aunt Dolly's familiar voice, looking up they saw her standing at the side of the restaurant. "Hey girls." Miley and Lilly greeted her as Dolly gave them each a hug. "Well how are my two favourite girls? Or should I say women now? You look so grown up." She admired their outfits. Dolly looked at Lilly. "And yes Lilly, it's always to go without underwear and that kind of dress. Trust me, I know."

Both girls laughed as a young boy opened the door for them.

"Come on, let's go inside." Dolly directed with her head, another waiter was waiting for them, looking like a cat that had got the cream.

"Please follow me." He directed with his hand.

"You two look beautiful by the way. You should wear dresses more often Lilly, you've got a figure to die for." Dolly said as they navigated they way across the restaurant to another door.

"You sound like my Mum."

"I keep telling her that Aunt Dolly but she still prefers to wear tank tops and shorts. What can I do? She's a tomboy." Reaching the door, the waiter pulled it open and the three of them walked through. "I didn't realise you'd hired out the private room, very nice Aunt Dolly." Miley said with a smile.

"Why thank you. I wanted to be able to gossip with you two." She added a wink for good measure.

"Oh God." Miley stood as the waiter pulled out the seats for them. "Run now Lilly."

"I don't think I can in this dress, but I will walk quickly to the bathroom to get rid of this God damn underwear."

The waiter stood awkwardly in the corner; she assumed that Hannah Montana's girlfriend had forgotten she was in the room. She approached the table nervously. "S...Sorry, could I get you some drinks?"

"Miles, order for me please." Lilly rushed out of the door.

Miley shook her head while Aunt Dolly laughed. "I'll have two faux mojitos please."

"And I'll have a glass of white wine please."

"What kind of wine..."

"A dry one; don't worry about the cost, whatever you think is best." Aunt Dolly smiled as the little waitress hurried off. "I think she's a bit nervous."

"I don't think nervous was the word, she was shaking as she wrote down the drinks. Poor girl, are we really that scary?"

"I'd say so when you wake up. Your face can pretty scary without make up." Lilly walked back in the room and kissed Miley on the cheek. "Sorry about that, I just really couldn't stand them anymore."

"Well at least we know that you're comfortable enough to talk about lingerie in front of me." Dolly gave a laugh.

Lilly's cheeks tinged with a pink. "Sorry."

"It's alright darlin', I'm only teasing you. I like it that you feel that relaxed with me."

"So have you two got anything special planned while you're here?" Dolly asked as she watched in astonishment at how much Lilly could eat. She had ordered the 16oz steak and was over half way through it, with no signs of slowing up.

"Not really, I quite like not having a schedule. Since the whole Hannah thing I've been pretty free, it's the first time in years I haven't had to rush around doing tours, interviews, and everything else." Miley paused. "Apart from Lilly and I of course. I love it if I'm honest."

Lilly stopped eating and tilted her head up. "You never told me that."

Miley looked at her girlfriend and gave a small shrug. "After being Hannah for so long it just becomes part of my daily routine but now I've stopped it's like I suddenly can do anything with having to think 'I've got to be there for this and here for that.' You must know how mad it is Lilly; you were there for most of it."

"Are you saying that you don't want to be Hannah anymore?"

"Technically I'm not."

"You know what I mean."

"Sorry, no, I still want to do music but right now I'd be quite happy if I didn't make another record for a few years."

"It wouldn't do you any harm Miley. I'm not trying to push you in to anything but sometimes it good to sit back and relax. You're off to college in the fall; it would be a hell of a job to go back and forth."

"Can't be much worse than school." Miley said. "But I do get what you mean Aunt Dolly; I wouldn't have Dad so much to sort out all those meetings, I haven't got to put another album out on my contract for a while so I've got some time to think."

"You'll write when you feel you need to." She smiled.

"I will, besides I've got myself a muse for next time."

Lilly looked at the dessert that had been placed in front of her and rubbed her stomach. She picked up her fork and took a bite. "This is amazing but I'm so full." Aunt Dolly and Miley looked at her in shock. "What?" She placed another piece of her gateau in to her mouth. "I will finish though; it's too good to waste." She deftly took another bite.

"Thank God, I thought you were ill for a moment." Miley mocked her.

"I think you'll have to undo this dress once we get in to the car, I can barely move."

Miley looked at Lilly with a grin before turning back to her Aunt. "I've got to ask Aunt Dolly but do you know what's going on with Aunt Helen? She's been acting really oddly towards Lilly and I, not to mention the way Mamaw scolded her in front of us the other day." Miley placed her fork in to her cheesecake, taking a large chunk of it.

"I don't know if I should tell you that." Dolly thought about it for a few seconds. "Alright." She placed down her fork. "From what I can gather she's in debt and rather a lot of it and doesn't understand why no one will bail her out."

"What from?" Lilly asked as she took another sip of her drink.

"No one knows, although she seems to have a rather large wardrobe all of a sudden." She raised an eyebrow. "And she's been on a few holidays this year already."

"That would explain at her having a poke at you the other day." Lilly looked at Miley who gave a nod.

"Has she tried you?" Miley asked.

"She's hinted but I acted like I didn't get it. Your poor Grandmother has been saddled with Molly for nearly all of the holidays. She's a sweet kid but I think Ruthie would like some time to herself."

"That would explain why Aunt Helen's palming her off on us, maybe Mamaw had said something?"

"Wouldn't surprise me." Miley said as she took another bit of her dessert. "Mamaw doesn't take any prisoners."

"Are you gonna help your Aunt?" Lilly didn't look up from her chocolate gateau.

"I don't mean to sound harsh, but, no. Why should I? She doesn't work or work as far of any of us know. She's a gold digger, always looking for the next rich man to get her claws in to."

"Me-ow." Aunt Dolly said. "Which part was supposed not to sound harsh?"

Miley shrugged. "Fair point but I don't see why I should help her when she won't help herself. She's far from stupid, I understand that having Molly does make it more difficult but she's that much older now that she can go out and do something."

"Since when did you become so wise?" Dolly smiled.

Miley smiled back at her Aunt. "Well at least now I know what she's building up to, although I'm not sure that saying that my relationship with Lilly is disgusting is really going to help her corner."

"Did she really say that?" She frowned.

"Yup." Lilly scraped the last of her plate and placed the cutlery back on it. "It doesn't really bother me, lots of people don't agree with gay people but as it's Miles' family I do feel sorry for her." Lilly grasped Miley's free hand.

"You're sweet." Dolly gave Lilly a soft smile; she'd always liked the girl, but tonight Lilly had made Dolly realise how deep her love ran for Miley. Watching the last minute of interaction between her god daughter and her girlfriend confirmed it for her; they were made for each other. The simple looks and touches they gave one another reminded her of when she was with her husband, nothing needed to be said because it was always present. It was one of the simplest words on the planet but the hardest to find, love.
