Not so Glamorous

Chapter 25

Not so Glamorous

It's been a few weeks since Clyde and I talked about whether or not he used the drugs he sold. We haven't talked much since that happened. Miley has been taking me everywhere with her and when I am at Clyde's house he's at work or asleep. I did tell him that I believed him and not Bianca, but I don't think he believes me.

Right now it's early morning, and Miley and I are laying in her bed; well she's laying and I'm sitting on her stomach. She is only wearing her bra and shorts, but I have a over sized shirt on. We are talking about her tattoos.

"What's this one mean?" I ask as I run my hand across the "just breathe" that is tattooed on the left side of her rib cage.

Miley giggles. "Hey that tickles." She squirms under my finger and grabs my hand and intertwines it with hers. "The tattoo is a tribute to an old friend Vanessa who died of the lung disease cystic fibrosis and both my grandfathers who died of lung cancer. It reminds me not to take things for granted, breathing I mean. I put it near my heart, because that is where they will always be."

"Awe, that's sweet."

Miley's phone suddenly rings and I groan. "No don't answer it."

She props herself up and kisses me. "Sorry babe, I gotta."

I slide off of her and sit next to her on the bed while she retrieves her phone.

"Hi daddy." Miley says into her phone.

I grin, because I love her family. I met them all a few days ago. It was more by accident than on purpose. Everything went over well though, but one of her older half brothers, Christopher, seemed a little sketchy to me. It was also very obvious that he didn't like me. I love her little sister Lindsey, because she voiced the goldfish from my favorite movie; Ponyo. I also about died when I met her other half brother, Trace because I love his voice and song "shake it".

I hear Miley say goodbye to her dad.

"What's going on?" I ask.

"Not much, he was just reminding me of a few things."

"Oh, alright. So you don't have to go anywhere?"

"Not for a couple hours."

Suddenly a thought pops into my head. "Miley, what's your take on animals? I know you love dogs, but what about other animals? " I know she has five or so dogs. I met them all when I met her human family. I love them all.

"What do you mean?" She asks looking puzzled. 

"I mean, do you like cats, or any other house pet?" 

"I don't like cats." She states flatly.

I feel my eyes go wide. "You don't like cats?" I gasp in shock.

"No, not really. They scratch you and run away and they think they're better than us."

I am quiet. I want to tell her about Fawn, but I take it that she wouldn't find it cute like I do. I have a sudden urge to get away from Miley. Get some time for myself because I haven't had much of that this week.

Miley has been dragging me everywhere with her, and it's been exhausting. So I grab my phone and fake that I got a text.

"Hey Miley, I have to go. Clyde needs me."

Miley looks at me confused, because she knows that Clyde is avoiding me.

"I think he wants to straighten things out."  

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then?" She hugs and kisses me.

"Yeah." I give her a weak smile and get up.

I'm just walking out the door when Miley calls out: "I love you."

I stop dead in my tracks and the door swings shut behind me. Before she can reach me though, I sprint down the stairs.

Miley is getting to serious. I have to end it.
