Chapter 3

She’s too hot for me

Nick’s POV

It’s Sunday which means cookie day. Lacey and I makes cookies every Sunday. Demi and I used to do that, so I thought Lacey would like it too which she really does.

I start mixing all the ingredients in as Lacey pours the whole bag of chocolate chips in. “Lacey don’t you think that is too much?” I ask with a smile.

“Nope daddy then they won’t taste yucky.” She says giggling as she claps her hands that are covered in flour.

“Are you saying I make yucky cookies?” I ask while raising my eye brow playfully.

“Yup daddy.” She says as she taps his nose and giggles again.

I love it when Lacey giggles. She can make anyone happy with that laugh of hers. “Well since you think my cookies are yucky then I won’t read you a story before you go to bed.” I say joking.

Her beautiful smile disappears and is replaced with pout. “I sorry daddy I be good now.”

I couldn’t resist that pout. “Okay Lacey, so did you listen to Joe yesterday?” I ask.

“He not good babysitter, he made me watch foodball.” Lacey says with a disgusted face.

I chuckle at her vocabulary. “Lacey is football not foodball.” I say as I pick her up and twirl her around.

“Weeeeeeeeee!” she starts laughing as I keep spinning her around.

Later

I was so into the football game that I didn’t hear my cell phone go off the first time. I quickly look over and see my phone vibrating. I pick it up and answer. “Hello?”

“Hey Nick.” A voice says as I wonder who it is.

“Um who is this?” I ask. “It’s Miley.” She says with a giggle

I felt like mentally slapping myself in the head. How could I not know that was her voice? “Uh Hey How did you get my number?” I ask feeling curious.

“Rob gave it to me because I needed to ask if you can come over and listen to this song I wrote. I normally asked my ex, but since you’re my producer I might as well get your opinion.” She asks as I wonder how she said that all without taking a breather.

“I guess I could I mean I’m not really doing anything.” I reply as I wonder who is going to watch Lacey. I’m sure Joe wouldn’t mind, but this time I’ll block all the sports channels, so then he can watch Barney with Lacey. Wow this is going to be fun.

“Really? Thanks Nick I’ll text you the directions. See you soon. “She says as she hangs up.

20 minutes later

No one’s POV

Joe sits down and grabs the remote as Lacey sits next to him. “Joey what we watching?” She asks.

“Some football Lacey.” Joe answers back as he starts flipping the channels.

“Eww I hate foodball.” Lacey says as she covers her eyes.

“Are you serious? Your dad blocked the sport channels.” Joe says in shocked voice.

“Does that mean no more foodball?” Lacey asks as a smile forms on her face.

“I guess not, so what should we watch?” Joe asks as he frowns.

“I want Barney!” Lacey exclaims.

“Then Barney it is.” Joe says. I hate Barney. He scares me with those eyes. I guess since Lacey is only here I can cover my eyes and no one would know I’m scared of Barney.

With Nick and Miley

And I,
You know my mind's made up, this time.
There's no goin' back to find,
What we had.
And I know,
There's no light that's left to shine.
There's no wrong and there's no right,
So enough.
I'm givin you up.


“I just wrote the chorus, so it isn’t good but it will be.” Miley says as she puts the guitar down and looks over at Nick for his reaction.

“It was beautiful, I mean the lyrics. I bet whoever you wrote this song about that person was stupid for breaking your heart.” Nick says as he sees her eyes fill up with tears, but she quickly wipes them away.

“It doesn’t matter. He just some stupid guy that I hate now.” She simply said as she fakes a smile.

“It’s about Liam, isn’t it?” He asks feeling awkward for asking something personal.

“Yeah how did you know it is about him, it could have been anyone?” She answers back as her eyes stay on Nick.

“Um well he was your last boyfriend, so I assumed it might be him.” Nick says. I have to admit I never liked Liam. When I found she was dating him, I knew he was a jerk. Even people on twitter said he is a manwhore and referred to him as a monkey. Okay so maybe I went on her twitter, but I’m not a stalker if you think that.

“Yeah well media these days have things wrong, so if you want the real answers just ask me.” Miley says as Nick realizes that Miley is different from other celebs, she actually tells the truth and doesn’t lie like others do to protect their image.

“That’s cool you aren’t afraid to share about your personal life.” Nick says as he looks at clock. “Well I should go you must be busy, so I wouldn’t want to be bothering you.” He says as he goes to get up.

“Actually do you want to stay for dinner?” She asks as she feels nervous this was first time she was asking a guy to stay for dinner.

“Are you sure? Wouldn’t you rather have dinner with one of your celeb guy friends?” Nick asks back.

“Nick you’re really nice and I feel like I can trust you way more than my other guy friends.” She answers back as she walks over to the dining table.

“Well I’m surprised you’re saying that, since we’ve only known each other for a couple of days.” He says as she takes a seat in one of the chairs.

“Yeah well I can tell when someone has a good heart and I know they wouldn’t sell me out to the media.” She replies as she sets two bowls of spaghetti down and sits down too.

“Wow I haven’t had spaghetti in like a long time.” Nick says. The reason is because a day before Demi died, they had spaghetti for dinner and at this moment he felt guilty.

Miley could tell something was wrong. “Nick are you okay? I can make something else.” She says in a panicking voice.

“No it’s okay it just reminded me of something.” He answers back as he takes a bit, enjoying the taste.

‘If you don’t mind me asking, what does it remind you of?” Miley asks as she twirls her spaghetti with the fork and looks over at Nick again.

“Well since were sharing are personal lives, I was married to woman named Demi, but she died 4 years ago. A day before she died, we had dinner and it happened to be spaghetti.” Nick says as his voice cracks.

“Oh I’m so sorry; it must be hard going through life without her.” Miley replies as she takes a sip of water.

“It defiantly is.” Nick mutters back as he thinks of Lacey.

10 minutes later

Nick is sitting on the couch as he waits for Miley to come back. He hears footsteps and looks over. He sees Miley come down wearing shorts, a sweater and has her hair in a messy bun. “Sorry I took so long. I just wanted to get into something comfy.” She says as she sits next to Nick, but keeps her distance.

I knew she was known for having long tan legs, but once you see them in person its way more realistic. I never thought about dating Miley, I mean she is a beautiful girl, but why would she need a single dad and his daughter. Plus this is only business and I could only wonder what would happen to her reputation if people found out she was dating a single dad with a daughter. But other that, she’s too hot for me.

“It okay, so what does Miss Miley Cyrus do on Sunday night at 8 o clock?” Nick asks as his eyes stay on Miley.

“Well I do like watching movies and I haven’t watched scary one in forever. I guess you can say I get scared.” She says as she giggles.

“Seriously? I didn’t think you were scared of anything.” He says while he chuckles.

“Yeah well there is a lot you don’t know about me.” Miley replies as she puts a scary movie in.

1 hour later

Miley somehow got through an hour of the movie without screaming, but as soon as the guy pops up she grabs a hold Nick’s arm and screams. “This is why I would never watch a scary movie alone.” Miley says not noticing she is still holding Nick’s arm.

Nick laughs as he puts an arm around her. “You sure do have a strong hold.” Nick says referring to her hand wrapped around Nick’s arm.

Miley slightly blushed as she let go of his arm. “Sorry I hope I didn’t hurt your arm too bad.” Miley says with an innocent smile.

“It’s all good I’m like the hulk.” Nick says with a smirk.

Miley rolls her eyes as she giggles. “Uh huh Nick and I am wonder woman.” Miley says sarcastically.

“Nice come back” Nick says as he chuckles.

Miley grabs a blanket and sits back down next to Nick. “I’m cold, are you?” Miley asks.

“Yeah a little.” Nick answers back.

Miley puts the blanket over herself and Nick. Nick looks at Miley with confused look. “Are you sure this okay? I mean this is supposed to be just work and I don’t know Rob would be happy if he saw like this.” Nick says.

“But were just friends, so it’s like two friends sharing a blanket. Don’t get so worried Nick, were not doing anything bad.” Miley replies while giving Nick a comforting smile.

“Alright if you say so.” Nick says while smiling back.

30 minutes later

Miley is lying on Nick’s chest while Nick has his arm wrapped around Miley. They were both peacefully sleeping not realizing how much trouble this could get them into.

What do you think will happen next?

 

Preview of Chapter 4 (no particular order)

“Miley have you seen the magazines?” Selena asks.

“Um no is there something interesting on them?” Miley asks back.

“Why are you two late?” Rob asks while glancing at Miley and Nick.

Miley plays with her fingers nervously as she speaks. “We um overslept.”

Nick nods as he gets what Miley is doing. “Yeah sorry Rob it won’t happen again.”

“Dude do you like her or something?” Joe asks.

“I guess I do like her, but I can’t like her. I mean I’m just her producer and that’s it. Plus this will mess things up if we did date.” Nick answers back.

“Now everyone thinks Nick and I are going out when were just friends.” Miley says as she frantically walks back and forth.

“Did it ever occur to you that maybe you like him?” Selena asks.

Miley looks at Selena with a shocking face. “I don’t know Sel, I told myself that after the break up I wasn’t going to get into another serious relationship.” Miley answers back feeling confused with everything going on.
