In love with my best friend? Yeah right. Maybe?

Chapter 4:

Confessions

Lilly spent Friday and Saturday night at my house. And both nights, I tried to figure out is Lilly felt the same way about me. Little did I know that all feelings were going to be revealed on Saturday night. We were in my room, having a conversation about the concert and things were getting intense between us, so to speak. "Lilly, do you want to go down to the beach and look at the stars?" I asked, trying not to show that I was nervous. Thankfully Lilly didn't notice anything. She just smiled at me. "Sure Miley, we can go to the beach and look at the stars." I smiled back at her. We put hoodies over our shirts and we got our shoes on. The walk to the beach was awkwardly quiet. "Hey Miles, wanna race?" I grinned then said, "Sure Lils." Before I could even say anything more, Lilly took off. I shook my head then I ran after her. I finally caught up to her then taking advantage of it, I ran past her. "Hey, that's not fair Miles!!" I head Lilly yell, I laughed. "Who said it had to be fair Lils?!" I yelled back. "You're so going to get it Stewart!" "Not a chance Truscott!" I turned around to see how far away Lilly was then I got knocked over. "Told ya that you would pay Stewart," Lilly whispered in my ear.

I looked up and I saw that Lilly was on top of me. Her hands were holding my hips firmly. "Uh yeah…you got me Lils." Her eyes showed love and lust. There it was, the sign I had been looking for. In that moment, right then and there I knew that Lilly felt the same way about me. "Miley…I need to tell you something," Lilly said nervously as she rolled off of me. I sat up, taking her hand in mine. "I need to tell you something too Lilly."

"Okay, you can go first Miles." I swallowed hard and my heart was beating like mad. "Oh…okay, I will." I breathed in deeply before going on and finally admitting to Lilly how I felt about her. "Lilly, I have fallen for you even more than I was before and it drives me crazy. I want to be with you. I can't live without you. I don't want you in my life, I need you in my life. And I hope that you need me too. Without you in my life, I can't breathe. I don't like you, I love you." "Oh Miley, I do need you too. I want to be with you so much, it's just I'm not ready to date you yet. I hope you understand. Right now, I just want to take things slow. Okay?" I nodded and I smiled at her, wrapping my arms around her then I kissed her cheek. "Of course I can wait for you until you're ready Lils. I just needed to know if you felt the same way about me. We can take things slow, no rush."

Later that night, I watched Lilly sleep peacefully. I felt comfortable having her laying next to me while I was holding her in my arms. The sound of her heartbeat calmed me. I wanted to spend the rest of my life just holding her like this. I was glad that we were taking things slow because that gives us time to enjoy being friends a little bit longer before we could take it a step further. I was okay with it, I didn't mind it at all actually because I knew that I would be with Lilly soon.

I woke up and I felt the space next to me was empty. I shot up and I noticed that Lilly wasn't next to me. She must've been hungry and decided to get up and gotten something to eat. Go figure. I stretched my arms and got out of bed. When I went downstairs, I found Lilly sitting on the couch watching something on the television. "Morning Lils." Lilly looked up at me. "Hey Miles, I hope I didn't wake you up. I wanted you to sleep in because I know that you didn't get much sleep Friday night." I sat down next to Lilly, wrapping my arm around her waist. "It's okay Lilly, I needed to get up anyways. And besides, I didn't have my Lilly bear next to me." This made Lilly smile. "Aw…my Miley missed her Lilly bear, how cute." I blushed and I buried my head in her neck. "Stop Lils, you're making me blush!" I whined.

"But it's so cute when you blush though Miles. You're so adorable when your embarrassed." That only caused me to blush even more. Lilly laughed. "Miley, there's something that I need to tell you." I looked at her and I saw the nervousness in her eyes. "Lilly, whatever it is, you can tell me. And I'll still be your best friend." She cracked a small smile at that. "I know Miley, I just don't want you to hate me when I say this." I took her hand and gave it a tight squeeze. "Lilly, I won't hate you. Nothing will change between us. I promise you that," I said softly to reassure her that everything would be okay.

Lilly smiled again and she breathed in deeply. "Miley, I…love you so much with all my heart. I don't know what I would I do if I didn't have you in my life. You mean everything to me, you really do. What I'm trying to say is, I love you Miley Ray Stewart. Will you be my girlfriend?" I screamed happily and I hugged her tightly. "Yes! I love you so much Lils." "I love you too Miles." We hugged then we kissed. I was happy because I was finally with the girl of my dreams.
