"Of course, Mr. Picker" I answered anxiously. "But I think I should phone my family first" I said, trying to hide my excitement.
Miley's POV
"Wait! My dad's not home. He's on a business trip" I lied. If I told them he was on tour, they'll find out I'm Hannah.
"I can take her to my house, sir" He said gently. I couldn't help but smile. Maybe he liked me too.
"Okay. There you go" He handed him his cell phone. "But you should phone your dad, too" He said looking back at me.
"Thanks" He picked the phone and dialled his mom's number. "Mom, it's me, Nick. Do you remember who Miley is? Well, it turns out she's sick, but her dad's not home. Can she stay with us? ... Thanks mom! I'll tell her." He hung up.
"Let's go! My mom's phoning your dad. Thanks, sir." He smiled at me.
"Give me a hand up" He took my hand and helped me to get up. Then he started running, still holding onto my hand.
"Easy there! I still feel dizzy." I frowned.
"Should I carry you home?" I smiled, but then I snapped back to reality.
"You don't have to. I have legs" He laughed loudly and put his arm around my waist.
"You're funny! ...Does it help? You know, my arm..." I shivered. "Here, take this" He gave me his jacket.
" Thanks a lot" I replied. We walked to the car and his mom took us home.
Nick's POV
We arrived at home. I took Miley's hand and showed her the way to my room. Then, I told her to lie down on my bed.
" Miley, here use this" Mom said, as she gave Miley a thermometer. A few minutes later, I checked it.
"Okay, let's see" I looked at the display screen. "Mom, come here" I shouted.
" What's wrong?" Miley asked. " Is it too high?"
"I dunno. No fever "I told mom as she opened the door.
"My stomach hurts though" Miley moaned. Then, mom gave her a pill and a glass of water.
"Thank you, ma'am" She said cheerfully. Then she chugged down the medicine.
"Um... Nick, I gotta go to the shops to buy dinner. I need you to take good care of her, okay?" I nodded and she kissed me goodbye. A few seconds later, I heard the front door close.
"So, how you feeling?" I awkwardly asked .
"Sick. Is that not obvious?" She glanced at me with mad eyes and then, she laughed. " I was just kidding. I'm usually friendlier than this" I slowly shifted the gaze. "Thanks for what you did before" She kissed my cheek. I blushed, as I felt butterflies in my stomach.
"You're welcome" I said shyly. Then, I looked deep into her blue eyes. It took me just a few seconds to realise I was in love with her. I didn't think twice, I just kissed her.
Miley's POV
I couldn't believe it. He loves me. I kissed him back. I wrapped my arms around his neck, as he put his around my waist, pulling me closer. Then, he deepened it.
