Chapter 8

 Please read the last paragraph at end to explain why I’m not putting Niley together yet and why Samantha is the story.  And please don’t think I don’t want Niley to happen in story because I do but I just don’t want to rush things like other people do in stories.

You can see right thru me

 “Lacey I’m going to get the mail really quick okay?” I look at her.

She looks up and smiles at me. “Okay daddy.” She continues playing with her Barbie.

I open the door as I walk over to the mailbox. I pull out some bills, but then I see a car pull up and someone walk out. Miley?

Miley walks out and smiles at me as she waves. “Hey remember me?”

I am shocked, but I smile back. “Wow I haven’t seen you in a long time.”

“I know I wanted to stop by to see how you are.” She bites her bottom lip as she waits for my response.

“I’m fine actually. How are you?” I see how her face sadness’s a bit as I wonder why she thinks I wouldn’t be doing fine.

“Oh I’m okay just been busy lately. Do you think we can fix things?” She asks as she steps a little closer.

I look at her confused. “What do you mean? Be friends?”

She shakes her head as she steps even more closer where are bodies are almost touching. “No I need to tell you the truth.”

“What truth?” I ask not understanding where she is going with this.

“Remember when you told me you liked me and I told you I had no feelings for you? Well I do and I’ve been so miserable without you. I know lying wasn’t right and I get it now.” She grabs my hand as she caresses my cheek.

“It took you this long to figure that out? I thought you didn’t want anything serious.” She confuses me so much.

“I thought I did, but every time I try to forget you I can’t. I feel horrible for what I did and I’m sorry Nick. I never wanted to hurt you.” I could tell she was telling the truth.

“It did hurt, but since you do look sincerely sorry I can’t say no.” I smile slightly.

“I promise I won’t ever lie to you again.” She says as she leans in to kiss me.

I kiss back as I miss how soft her lips are. I pull away as I look at her as she blushes. “Look since you’re being honest with me, I have to be honest with you.” I take her hand and lead her into living room.

Lacey looks up and her eyes light up. “Miley!” she exclaims.

“Hey cutie. Did ya miss me?” She smiles at how happy Lacey is.

“Yes I did, but I think daddy did most.” She giggles.

I blush little as Miley looks at me. “So what do you need to be honest with me about?”

I walk over and pick up Lacey; setting her on my lap. “Miley this is my daughter Lacey.”

She slowly gasps as she looks back forth from Lacey to me. “Wait! I thought that Joe was her dad.”

“No I’m her dad. I’m a single dad.” I watch as she looks a little mad.

“So I wasn’t the only one lying, you were to. Why?” She asks.

“I thought you would freak out and run off.” I say as I look at Lacey as she taps my nose and giggles.

“You know Nick? I hate it that you think you know how I will react to everything when you don’t. I may be this messed up girl, but I’m not that mean.”

“I know, but it was also too early to tell you either way and we weren’t even dating.” I watch as she nods a little.

“Yeah well that’s all in the past, so we can have a fresh start.” She smiles little as she holds her hand out. “Hi I’m Miley Cyrus.”

I chuckle as I shake her hand back. “Nice to meet you. I’m Nick Jonas.”

She giggles as her eyes sparkle. “So Mr. Jonas how would you like to hang out tonight?”

My smile fades away. “I would, but I have plans tonight.” I watch as her smile disappears as she looks away.

“You have a date with Samantha don’t you?”

“Yeah. Are you mad?” I watch as she looks back at me.

“No I just came here thinking we could reconnect, but you don’t want me.” She looks down after saying that.

“I never said I didn’t want you, but what did you expect I would wait for you. Plus it isn’t anything serious yet.”

She looks up. “I was confused and didn’t know what I was feeling.”

I take Lacey to her room as I set her down. “You play in here while Miley and I talk.”

She nods as I walk back over to Miley. “Well you waited too long to tell me and I’m actually happy.”

I see her lips tremble as she shakes her head. “Then pick me over her.”

“You know I would, but right now I’m stuck between you and Samantha, so it wouldn’t be fair to just pick you when I like Samantha as well.” I say as I see her face sadden even more. I hate doing this.

She grabs my face as she kisses me deeply but then pulls away. “Tell me that kiss didn’t mean anything and I’ll leave you alone.”

“You know I can’t answer that. If Sam wasn’t in the picture then I would have picked you.”

“It isn’t right to date someone else when you have feelings for someone.” She says as her eyes darken. She is anger at me now.

“I know, but I want to see if there is something between Sam and me before I try anything with you. I’m trying to be good guy here by not blowing Samantha off. I’m not like that.”

She nods slowly. “I get it now. You’re rejecting me, but you have good reason. If I have to wait then I will because I really like you Nick. She kisses my cheek as she touches my cheek. “Good luck with your date and maybe in the future we can be together.”

I hug her as she hugs back tighter. “I’m sorry I didn’t pick you, but I can’t do that to Samantha she is too nice to be treated like crap.”

She pulls away and looks at me. “I understand, but let’s be friends at least.” She smiles a little.

I smile back. “I would like that.”

Yay! Niley is friends now. Also I know a lot you want Niley together, but if I put them together now the story will be boring and it wouldn’t be fun to read. There will be Niley cuteness but this story is fiction and not real, so I only put Samantha in story to add drama and to keep things interesting. In my other stories, I would put Niley together in beginning and then the rest of story would be cute, but we all know in real life not every relationship is perfect and not all love stories just have cuteness and romance in it all the time, so that’s why I like having a lot of drama. This story will show up how much struggle and sadness people go through when they love someone and how sometimes things don’t go how other people want it too.  I hope that explains things for you:)
