Miley

"Are you okay?" Liam asked me. "You seam distracted."

"Yeah," I nervously smile. "I'm
fine." I take a sip of my water. "I'm just thinking about my boys, in the weather," I say nodding towards the window, gesturing to the rain storm.

"Yeah, I bet Hannah is freaking out too." Liam chuckles. He lifted himself out of his chair and I did the same. "I had a great time with you Miley." He smiles at me.

"Yeah, me too." I smile back at him.

He then leaned in to kiss my cheek. "Maybe we can do this again?" He asked hopefully.

"Yeah, I would love that." We traded smiles one last time before going out separate ways.

One my way back to the kitchen, my mind battled over where to look over at Nick or not. The curious side won. I flash a look over to Nick who was angrily glaring at me. I swallowed and kept walking.

"Oh My Gosh! He likes you." Lea whispers to me as I walk back into the kitchen.

"No, he doesn't. He just thanked me for a good time."

"Okay...Sure..." Lea sang sarcastically. "So whats on your agenda for tonight?" She took her apron and hung it on the hook.

"Movies, until the storm knocks the power out. Niles still wants to finish Wreck It Ralph."

"I so want to finsh Wreck It Ralph with you guys."

"No, your going to dinner with your Mother just like you promised you would."

"Dinner? More like torture. Like I really want to sit around and hear my Mom talk about how I wasted my life by not going to college."

"It won't be that bad." I say lifting my apron.

"Yes Miley. It will be. It will be horrible."

"Shhh." I raise my finger to my mouth. I nod my head towards the window. Lea peaked through.

"He's gone." She surprisingly said.

"He is." I look out the window at the table Nick was sitting at. It was empty. Nothing but empty plates and a half filled cup of sprite sat on the table. Nick was gone.

"Oh, why did he leave?" I said thinking out loud.

"Well, Donny left. Maybe their fun filled weekend has started." She looked down at her watch."Dammit. I'm late."

"You go, I'll lock up." I say pulling out the keys.

"Are you sure? It's my turn."

"I'm positive, now go. Your late."

"Okay. Call me when you get a chance." Lea placed a soft friendly kiss on my cheek as she hugged me goodbye. "Tell the boys, I love them."

"Okay. Goodnight."

"Night." Lea made a quick exit as I finished cleaning off Nick's dishes.

............

It was colder outside then I imagined. Every breath I took became visible as my teeth chattered through the rain. Why did we even have to work today? Who comes to a dinner during a rain storm? Our garlic fries are good, but not that damn good.

I chuckle to myself while pushing the heavy doors close. I lock up and pull myself together and make my way to my car, shaking in my shoes with every step.

I unlock the doors and sit inside, shaking. I put the keys in to start the engine, only to have it not start. "Great..." I hit the wheel. I turn the key again. Nothing. I throw my head back against the seat. "Why..?"

Tap, Tap!!

I jump up. Someone wearing a hood, was at the window tapping.

"Having trouble?" He screams through the rain.

"Um, yeah. Kinda" I yell back.

He gestures for me to open the hood. I did so. He disappears to the front of the car and rumbles around. After about five minutes, the hood closes and the engines roars.

The stranger walks over to the window again. I roll down as he comes closer.

"Thank you, so much..." My appreciation dies once I see who I'm talking to. "What do you want Nick?"

"To talk to you." He said, sternly.

"Nick, there is absolutely nothing to talk about." I roll up the window.

He threw his hand inside of the window. "You can't give me five fucking minutes?" His voice became sharp, and his eyes grew hard.

"Nick, please leave me alone." I tried to control my voice and remain strong.

"Miles..."

I froze.

I turn to him to see a soft, hopeful look in his eyes. "Just give me five minutes." He asked desperately. "Please, that is all I ask."

I took a deep breath. What am I doing? "Fine. You have five
minutes." I unlock the doors and Nick runs over to the other side.

He steps inside the car. "Hi," He said.

"Hi," I kept my eyes ahead, refusing to look at him.

"How have you been?"

"Do you really care?" I snap at him. "What are you doing here anyways?"

"What are you doing here?" His sweet tone disappeared. "Do you know how long everyone has been searching for you?"

"Nick, I came here because I didn't want to be found. Look, I have to go. Are we done here?"

"Come back to WoodsField with
me."

"What?" I snap my head at him. "Are you joking?"

He just looked at me with his hard look, no sense of humor in it. "Just to show everyone your alright. Everyone misses you."

I turn away from him, and hide my watery eyes.

"Miles, I miss you."

I sniff, and wipe my eyes. I did miss everybody. Demi, Joe, and Kevin. They were my family.

My thoughts were interrupted by Nick's hand on my chin, pulling me to face him. His once hard eyes, were soft and familiar again. He used his thumb to massage my cheek, his touch sending chills down my spine. He leaned in closer to me and I found myself leaning in too.

Our lips touched and the world stopped. At the moment, I didn't think about what was right and what was wrong. I just knew I wanted to kiss Nick. I wanted to kiss him so bad that I thought my heart would stop beating. In the moment of our kiss I didn't hate him anymore. He was perfect, I fell in love with him all over again.

Tap!! Tap!

I push Nick away and gasp. We both turn towards the window as I roll it down. It was Donny.

"Dude, you blow me off to make out with my employee?" He said chuckling to Nick. "Not cool, man." He turned to me. "And what happened to that tall guy with the accent you went on a date with?"

"Date?" Nick questioned me.

"I have to go." I say unlocking the doors giving Nick the sign to leave.

"Can I see you again?" He asked me.

"I don't know-"

"Please Miley." I looked at him and saw the old Nick again.

"Fine, tomorrow. But I have to go now."

"Okay." Nick exited the car and left with Donny.

What did I just do?
