Chapter 5
I’m playing with your heart and mind
It wasn’t a dream. What happened last night really did happen. Last night I thought I had no feelings for Nick, but I think like Nick. I shook the thought out of my head as I got up to get ready. I’m not sure if Nick likes me, but I and he can’t happen. So I have to make sure it doesn’t. Even though it’s going to be hard, but I need to for myself.
With Nick
I’m supposed to be meeting with Miley, but she never showed up. I don’t know if she is mad or just feeling awkward about yesterday. I sigh as I put the lyric sheets back in the folder; grab my jacket and left. I went into a coffee shop; ordered a drink and sat down. I tried to keep my mind off the kiss, but I couldn’t. I didn’t think one kiss would make me get these feelings. I’m sure she is confused as I am. As I look up, I see Joe walk in and set Lacey next to me.
“Hey how come you’re sitting here by yourself?” Joe asks.
“Um Miley didn’t show up, so I came here.” I say as I hand Lacey my muffin to eat.
“Daddy who Miley?” Lacey asks as she looks at me with her big brown eyes.
“Just a friend.” I answer back as I stroke her hair.
“What happened between you guys?” Joe asks.
I scratch my neck nervous as I look at Joe. “Nothing I just don’t want to talk about her.” I answer back.
“I do find it kind of stupid that she didn’t at least call to say she couldn’t then have you wait for her.” Joe says.
“Yeah well she is a celeb, what do you expect?” I say agreeing with Joe. She could have at told me I would have understood.
With Miley
I feel bad that I didn’t show up, but I just couldn’t face Nick. Plus I had some photo shoot, so that’s a good excuse. As I went to get some errands, I was hounded by paparazzi asking me where is my boyfriend aka Nick is. I just ignored them. A part of me wanted to call Nick and apologize for not showing up, but I just couldn’t.
Miley: Hey I’m sorry I didn’t come. I got held up at a photo shoot.
Nick: Oh well that’s cool.
Miley: um are you mad?
Nick: Nope
Miley: Look if you want we work on it now
Nick: Actually now I’m busy with something
Miley: Oh okay
Nick didn’t reply after that. Wow I really messed up on this. So I grabbed my purse and got into my car. I needed to fix things and fast.
Later with Nick
“Lacey what do you want to eat?” I ask her.
“Um I want cookies.” She says with a big smile
I shake my head laughing. “Lace how about some chicken nuggets and these veggies.”
She makes a disgusted face. “Eww I don’t like weggies.” She says as she pushes plate away.
“Lacey there good for you.” I say trying to feed her some.
She covers her mouth as she shakes her head. “No daddy they yucky.” She says as I hear the doorbell ring. “I’ll be right back sweetie just eat your food.” I say as I answer the door. “Miley?”
“Hey I wanted to say sorry in person.” Miley says with smile as she touches my arm.
“Thanks but this isn’t a good time.” I say trying to cover Lacey from behind.
“Please Nick I really want to talk about last night.” Miley says with pleading eyes.
“Fine come in.” I say smiling slightly.
Miley walks in and she happens to see Lacey. “Aww who’s this cutie?” She asks as she smiles at Lacey.
“Uhh that’s my brother’s daughter, I’m just babysitting her.” I say as I wonder if she’ll believe me. I couldn’t tell her she is my daughter; she would freak out and run off.
“Oh she is so cute, but she strangely looks like you, how weird.” She says with a giggle.
“Thanks, but she just won’t eat her vegetables no matter how hard I try.” I say as I watch Lacey eat her chicken nuggets.
“Well I don’t either, but I can try.” Miley says as she kneels down as so she is facing Lacey. “You know I heard princesses love vegetables.”
“They do?” Lacey asks as her eyes lit up.
“Yup so maybe you could try them.” Miley says as she watches Lacey pick at them but then eats them.
“Wow I can‘t believe you actually got her to eat them.” I say watching Lacey stuff them in her mouth.
“My dad used them trick on me, so I thought it might work.” Miley replies while smiling at Lacey.
“Hey I’m going to have her take nap, so I’ll be right back so we can talk.” I say as I pick up Lacey.
“Okay Nick.” Miley says as she waves at Lacey.
Later
I come down and see Miley looking at some pictures. “So what did you want to talk about?” I ask.
She turns around and smiles slightly. “Well about yesterday and how we shouldn’t have done that.” She says as she looks away.
“Yeah I know what you mean.” I agree with as I walk up to her. “Why are you acting so weird?” I ask.
She looks at me and she smiles again. “I’m fine; I just didn’t know what I was going to say when I came here.”
“I’m surprised you came, but if you don’t want to work together I totally understand.” I say watching as she narrows her eyes in confusion.
“What? I love working with you.” She says as she steps closer and kisses my cheek. “That’s also for making you wait for me when I didn’t even call.”
I chuckle as I couldn’t not forgive her. “It’s okay I forgive you.”
“Good because I thought you were mad at me.” She says.
“Not anymore.” I say as I see how close we are. This is what happened last night and that’s when we kissed.
“Nick what would you do if I kissed you right now?” She asks as my eyes slowly widen. She wants to kiss me?
“I guess I would kiss back.” I answer back watching as she leans closer and I do too.
She presses her lips against mine as I wrap my arms around her. This kiss was different from last night. It was more of “I miss kissing you kind of kiss”. I felt her smile as she deepens the kiss but then she pulls away. “I can’t do this!” She says as she backs away.
“What are you talking about? You kissed me.” I say while I watch her struggle at her words.
“Yeah and I well thought I could do this, but I can’t Nick. Don’t get me wrong I love the kiss and spending time with you, but we should just be friends. You know?” Miley says.
“How can we be friends after we kissed twice?” I ask.
“Because there are no feelings involved right?” she asks.
“What if I said I like you?” I ask watching as she slowly gasps.
“Then I would I say that I don’t um like you.” She says as she watches my face sadden.
I shake my head as I look at her. “So this is all a game to you then right? I bet this is what you do to all the guys you meet.”
She gulps before she speaks. “I just thought we were having fun and it was nothing serious.” She answers back.
“Seriously? I just told I liked you and you tell “oh were just having fun and its nothing serious. I haven’t dated a lot, but I never had someone do this to be before. I thought we were friends too, but the kiss and our times we spend with each other, I actually learned to like you and I didn’t even think I would. I guess I’m not good enough for you right? I’m not some model; I’m not some Australian guy, or some big time celebrity. I should have known from start you were ashamed of me. A part of me wondered what would happen if we dated, but it would all be a game to you.” I say as my voice rises a bit.
“That’s not true I don’t just date famous people. Plus I never wanted a real relationship, so I assumed we were just friends and yeah it lead to us kissing, so I went along with it because I liked being with you.” She argues back.
“Yeah right. All the boyfriends you’ve dated have been celebs. Yesterday I thought I was crazy to like you and then today I realized that I don’t care if you’re celebrity, we can somehow make it work.” I say as she bites her bottom lip.
“I’m sorry I lead you on. I’m sorry I kept playing you. I’m sorry you think you know everything about me when you don’t.” She says as she voice cracks a bit.
“Look fine were just going to pretend none of this happened and just work on this music stuff okay?” I say feeling like crap that she did this to me. I thought she felt the same way, but then I found out I would be her toy she would play with, but then eventually throw out when she got bored. I guess she plays games with people‘s minds and hearts.
“Um yeah that sounds good.” She says as she heads toward door. “I’ll see you tomorrow” she closes the door.
I thought she was different. All she cares about is her image. I listened to Joe and told her how I feel. Thank god I didn’t tell her Lacey is my daughter, I would feel even more humiliated by her.
With Miley
Miley’s POV
I feel tears in my eyes as I get in my car. He believed everything I said. I had no choice, but to do this to him. He would have ended up getting hurt in the end when he found out it isn’t anything serious. I realized were just too different. I do like Nick, but with who I am. I mean my life is crazy enough and I don’t need this. I know I’m acting selfish just to think about myself, but Nick deserves someone who isn’t messed up like I am. I do have feelings for Nick, but I lied and told him I didn’t. I do regret doing it, but maybe that was the right decision. That way he can live his life drama free. Plus could you imagine Nick the producer going out with Miley Cyrus the bad girl and apparently America’s slut as well. Yeah I would ruin his life and I really don’t want to do that.
To be continued…
What do you think about what Miley did? Does she deserve to be with Nick?
