Not My Type (Completed)

THE DATE

🌺Miley's POV🌺

I couldn't think of any thing but the kiss I had with Derrick in the water. It was nice. I'll count this as my first kiss, I felt butterflies in my tummy, I didn't want it to end and unfortunately I couldn't control it. Derrick still did not come home last night, I was lost in my day dream when Esther came in. She comes in anytime as she pleases but I don't mind
"Hey!", Esther greeted as she came to seat on my bed, she seemed really happy.
"Spill! What's got you so happy?" I asked, lying down to face her, turns out gossiping with her was one of our favourite activities, that and also sleepover in my mum's house.
"What are you talking about?" Esther asked, trying to hide her excitement but she did a very terrible job.

"C'mon look at you! You're smiling like a baby and this barely happens, especially this early in the morning."
"Alright fine! I'm in love, Miley!"
I smiled at her cuteness, "Is that why you're happy?"
"Thinking about him makes me smile, being with him gives me peace of mind!"  I got lost in my own thoughts again and all I could think of was yesterday, in the water with Derrick.
"Hello?" Esther said trying to get my attention.
"Yeah, that's amazing." I said, trying to cover the fact that I wasn't listening.
"Now, you spill out what you were thinking of!" Esther said adjusting herself to face me completely, I didn't even know when my cheeks got really red and I was smiling like Esther when she came in.

"It's nothing." I said trying to hide my face from her.
"Don't tell me that now. Spill it out!", she seemed more serious now.
"Alright fine!" I gave in and she smiled eagerly, waiting for me to talk.
" We...uh...we" I was finding it hard to finish my sentence. "We kissed." I said hiding my face in my palms. I was expecting her to scold me or something but I didn't get anything when I turned to look at her she was smiling still.

"Aww, finally you're in love!", She said as she leaned to hug me but I refused.
"No! What? I'm not in love, it was just a kiss Esther, don't be silly!"
"Yeah right! And your cheeks are red and you're smiling like me just by thinking of your kiss with him."
Esther said trying to prove her point but I didn't say anything.
"C'mon babe what are you afraid of Miley?" She asked, I didn't want to say anything but she's my best friend and apart from my mum, I have no one else.
"That, he'll be like Drake." I said feeling sad. "That he'll take advantage of me..."
Esther frowned and came closer. "But he's not Drake, honey. He's Derrick.  Derrick has had a crush on you for so long and if he was Drake he wouldn't wait so long and I've known him all year he's a really nice person so you have nothing to loose. Just give it a try." Esther was still trying to convince me when I got a text.

Derrick: Hey beautiful, I hoped you slept well? I was hoping you'll spend time with me today if that's fine with you...

I wasn't even halfway through the text when Esther yelled." Yes!"
"No excuse, you're going out with him!" She said collecting my phone and texting him.
"You're something else." I said smiling at Esther
"You'll thank me later! Alright get up and let's get you ready."
Esther had learnt how to makeup, now we did it for each other, so she dressed me up this time around and I must admit she did a great job. 
"I'm impressed." I said looking at the mirror.
"I learnt from the best." she said adding some finishing touches to my face. She was finally done and kept staring at me.
"What is it?" I knew she had something to say, it was all over her face.
"Give him a chance, he deserves it." she said hugging me when the door opened and interrupted our hug.
"Am I late?" I heard Derrick's voice and I couldn't help but smile, now I don't know what has come over me. I'm usually not the smiling or blushing type but I seemed to smile at every little thing that has to do with Derrick.
"No, not at all!" Esther said releasing meand pushing me to Derrick.
"You look beautiful." Derrick walked to me and reached out his hand for me. "Thank you." I said taking his hand and trying to hide my blush.
"Have fun!", Esther shouted from behind as he closed the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, where are we going?" I asked breaking the silence, it was starting to get a little awkward.
"It's a surprise." He said smiling at me, I still find it hard to believe that I didn't see that he was this handsome, especially when he smiled.
" Hey! I know this place!" I said as we pulled over in the parking lot.
"I was having a feeling you would."  He said as we both exited the car. He brought me to the best place to get lasagna. It was my favorite! How did he know?! Esther!

"Are we going in or what?" Derrick said as he came over to my side. "Of course." I replied in a duh tone, making us both laugh.
We got into the restaurant and Derrick had made a reservation for the best table already.
"Impressive!" I said as he helped me with my chair and I took a seat.
"Why, thank you." he said with a cute smile while he sat down.
"So, I ordered our food beforehand we'll just have to wait a little.
"I see you had all this planned!"
"You don't know how much I have, Miley..." he said, I looked at him and saw he was staring already. This is awkward...

"Anyway, what exactly do you want from me?" I asked trying to clear up the silence.
"I want to be with you!" His reply came with a lot of confidence.
"Why?" I really want to know...
"Remember that day you asked me to choose an outfit for you?" He asked, sitting up right.
That was the day I was going to meet Drake and when I remembered I got uncomfortable, so I cleared my throat.
"Yes, I do. What about it?" I said sitting upright to, now the atmosphere became serious and less date-like.
"That day you looked really beautiful." he said  leaning towards me, I couldn't help but blush but I still tried to remain serious.
"Thank you."
"Since that day, I couldn't get you out of my head and when I heard what my step brother did to you I got really mad, I didn't know the reason but I couldn't see you hurt so I had to set things right. So for the past two years I didn't find the right time to tell you because I was scared you'll reject me based on what Drake did to you."
I was speechless, luckily for me our food came and I paid all my attention to the plate of lasagne in front of me. (I legit just found out it lasagne and not lasagna. Whoops🤭 Silly me! Ignore my mistake, please.)

"I'm guessing that either you're really hungry or you don't know what to say to me?"
I didn't reply and he started eating too
"Why me?" I asked, after Drake, I didn't feel worthy of anyone.
"Why not you?" He answered my question with a question as much as I was impressed I was also surprised.
"Aren't you human? So why not you? Look, I have had two years to be sure if I want you or not and I'm sure I want you." Definitely he was shy, he must have practiced well.
"Eat up I'll like to show you something.", he said.
I ate up my food and waited for him. When we were done eating, he paid and we headed out.
