Underneath The Moonlight

Oliver walked into Miley's as she was taking off her jacket.

"Hey, Lily's at the beach, you want to walk there and meet her then we can all walk back here and have movie night?" Oliver asked. Miley smiled as she thought about how happy he was since he'd begun dating Lily ten months ago and how he took any chance to spend time with her.

"Sure, why not, let's go." She said putting her coat back on. They walked out the porch door and headed to the beach.

At the beach Lily was watching and waiting for Jackson to close Rico's so she could walk home with him. She heard a new song start playing on the radio; she instantly recognised it and smiled. Seeing her reaction to the song Jackson turned it up and put his hand out to Lily.

"Can I have this dance?"

"You want to dance with me?" She asked stunned

"Yeah, can I?"

"Sure." She smiled, flattered by his offer. She took his hand and they began to slow dance.

Miley and Oliver saw this as they approached Rico's. They both stopped and watched the pair dancing on the beach, underneath the moonlight; never taking their eyes from each other.

"What?" Jackson asked when he could see she was thinking about something

"I never knew you could waltz."

"I asked my dad to teach me after I read that girls like a guy who can dance."

"You know, people say slowing dancing is very romantic."

"It is romantic. Holding the person you love, moving in time to the music, looking in to their eyes; don't you think?" he asked

"Yeah, I do, I just…" she trailed off

"What?" he asked

"I thought you'd think it was lame."

"I can be romantic," she look at him questioningly "when I want to be…for the right person." He said smiling at her. She, blown away by the side of himself he was showing to her, said nothing.

They continued dancing, never taking they eyes from each other after awhile he broke their silence.

"Lily…" he started

"What?" She asked when he paused

"Can I be honest with you?" He asked

"Of course."

"Ok, here it goes" he took a deep breath "I'm in love with you and I think you're in love with me too." He said and pulled her to him, until their bodies were touching. She barely had time to process what he had told her before she felt his lips on hers. Feeling the same she kissed him back as the final lines of the song played in the background.
