Hola!
Like I said I've got a lot more time on my hand now that I've finished my exams.
So this'll either be a two shot or a three shot about Mitchie meeting Shane's family for the first time.
Let me know what ya think :)
To say I'm nervous is an understatement. The reason being is because I'm meeting Shane's family for the first time. Yes you heard right Shane Grey lead singer of Connect 3. Shane and I have been dating for over a year now. We met at Camp Rock, where Shane was sent to improve his attitude and I just wanted to learn more about music and let the light shine on me. Throw in a girl with the voice (which happened to be me) and a mean girl and you have a highly eventful summer. Shane and I confessed our feelings for each another on a canoe after our impromptu duet during Final Jam but because of Shane's supper busy schedule I only got to see him once during the year and that was on my seventeenth birthday. However during the second summer we both got to know each other very well and after sharing our first kiss whilst packing up the Camp Rock signs both Shane and I knew that we couldn't go back to the same routine we had over the year consisting of several phone calls and e-mails. No, both of us wanted to be able to see each other and so whenever Shane had a day off he would fly over to spend the weekend with me. As a result of this I am now stood in front of my mirror that hung on my bedroom wall making sure I looked perfect seeing as I was spending the weekend with his family.
I decided to wear a black skirt that rested just above my knees and a purple blouse. I didn't want to give the impression that I was trying to hard so I decided to make myself look smart but casual at the same time. I decided to let my hair dry naturally seeing as my hair was naturally wavy and made sure that my makeup looked natural.
I glanced at the clock to check the time. 4.55pm. Shane would be here in about 15 minutes. Shane's family had moved to Dallas during the year Shane and I spent apart. According to Shane the reason behind this was because they always thought of Dallas as their hometown despite having lived in New Jersey for over ten years. I lived an hour and a half away but once again because of Shane's busy schedule I never had the chance to meet his family.
I grabbed my over-night bag and made my way down stairs and sat in the living room waiting for Shane to arrive. 10 minutes later I heard a car pull into the driveway. Mom had already let Shane in as I reached the door. He gave my mom a brief hug and shook my dad's hand before making his way towards me.
"Hey." I said as Shane pulled me in for a hug. Instantly I felt the nerves disappear for a moment as I relaxed into his arms
"Hey" He replied and gave me peck on the cheek knowing that it would be inappropriate to give me a kiss on the lips in front of my parents.
"You ready to go?" He asked me. I nodded and suddenly felt the nerves creep back. Shane took my over-night bag whilst I hugged my parent's goodbye before walking to Shane's side and grabbing his free hand.
Shane put the over-night bag into the back of his car and opened the door for me. Giggling I said "I see chivalry hasn't died out yet" as I got into the car.
Shane smiled and closed the door before getting into the driver's seat. He turned to look at me, cupped the side of my face and leaned in to give me a loving kiss on the lips. Fireworks exploded in my stomach as they did every time we kissed. "You look beautiful" He said once we pulled away. I smiled and felt a slight blush make its way to my face, while Shane started the car.
The ride to his house was silent as the nerves kept getting stronger as we came closer and closer to our destination. Shane noticed this and grabbed one of my hands. "Don't worry Mitchie, they'll love you." Shane said reassuringly. I gave him a small smile, grateful of the fact that he was trying to make me feel better. I sighed and began to draw pictures on Shane's hand with my thumb.
All too soon we pulled in front of the Grey's giant house. I took a deep breath once I got out of the car as I felt the cool October breeze hit me. Shane made his way over to me and gave me a quick kiss. Pulling away he grabbed my hand and said "Everything'll be fine Mitch. Trust me." I felt him squeeze my hand reassuringly and led the way to the door.
I remained silent as Shane slipped his key into the door whilst giving my hand another gentle squeeze. Here goes nothing .I thought as we walked into the house. We immediately came face to face with a middle aged woman, most likely Shane's mother. As soon as she saw us she ran over to Shane and pulled him into what looked like a bone crushing hug. "It's good to have you back" I heard her whisper.
As soon as she pulled away she glanced towards me. "And you must be Mitchie." She said as she made her way over to me and pulled me into a surprising hug. "You have no idea how long I've wanted to meet you. Thank you for bringing my boy back." She whispered into my ear. I looked over her shoulder to see Shane smiling at us.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Grey." I said once she pulled away.
"Oh please there's no need or formalities, call me Denise." She replied and I smiled suddenly feeling that things might actually turn out alright.
"I thought I heard voices." I heard someone say. I turned around and saw a middle-man making his way towards us. He went over to Shane and gave him a quick hug before turning to me. For some reason he didn't have the same warm presence as Denise did. I felt the nerves surface once again.
"It's nice to finally meet you Mitchie; I'm Andrew, Shane's father." He said and stuck out his hand.
I smiled and shook it. "It's lovely to meet you." I said as I gave Shane a quick glance.
"Well why don't we move on over to the dining room, Dinner is almost ready." Denise said as Shane made his way over to my side, grabbed my hand and gave me a kiss on my temple. I smiled at him before he led me into the dining room.
"Where are Nicola and Frankie?" Shane asked as we entered the dining room.
"They'll be down in a minute." Andrew replied. Just as he said that I heard footsteps rush down the stairs.
"Shane!" I heard someone exclaim. Shane and I turned to around to see a young boy around the age of 10 standing in the doorway before he rushed over to Shane and engulfed him in a hug.
"Hey buddy." Shane said as I smiled at the two of them. Once they pulled away Shane led Frankie over to me and introduced us.
"I'm Frankie, nice to meet you." He said as he reaches out a hand.
I laughed and shook his hand "It's nice to meet you Frankie, I'm Mitchie." I said. He went over to sit by the table. Shane laughed at this before we heard a cough coming from the doorway. Turning I saw a teenage girl no more that thirteen years old. Shane smiled at the girl and gave her a quick hug before leading her over to me.
"Nicola this is Mitchie my girlfriend." I smiled and held out a hand. She simply glared at me before walking over to sit next to Frankie. I looked at Shane and saw that he had an angry look on his face before turning his attention to me and wrapping an arm around my shoulder and leading me to the table. I sat opposite to Nicola who kept glaring at me. An awkward silence fell upon us as Denise dished out the dinner and Shane placed a hand on my knee.
During the course of the meal Denise and Andrew kept asking me questions about my life. They seemed impressed with my answers so far.
"So Shane tells me you're a musician, what do you play." Andrew asked me as he took another bite of his food.
"I play guitar and piano. But I also sing and write songs." I replied. I heard Nicola scoff but I ignored her.
"Really!" Denise said, clearly interested. "What got you into music in the first place?" She asked
"Well I grew up listening to my grandpa sing and when I was about five years old he taught me a couple of chord on the piano and it just progressed from there really." I replied.
At this point I saw Nicola smash a fist on the table "Okay seeing as none of my family members are gonna ask this question I will. Why are you really dating my brother? Is it for the money? The fame?" She exclaimed.
"Nicola!" Shane yelled.
I placed a hand on top of Shanes and said "Nicola I'm not using your brother for his money or fame. I'm dating him because I really care about him." I said calmly.
She scoffed again and said "Yeah right, seriously what is it. I mean there is no way Shane would date someone like you, I mean look at you you're nothing special there must be a reason why he's dating you."
I felt those words pierce my heart as tears threatened to surface. I turned to Denise and said "Do you mind if I use the bathroom for a moment."
She gave me a sympathetic smile and said "Of course, it's upstairs third door on the left."
I thanked her and made my way to the bathroom as I heard yelling come from the dining room. I got to the bathroom and saw the tears that streamed down my face. Just breathe Mitchie, Shane like you for you. I said to myself as I cleared my face.
Suddenly I heard a knock on the door. "Mitchie it's me Shane, open up." I opened the door and immediately felt Shane's arms wrap around me as I cried into his chest. "I'm so sorry Mitchie. Don't believe a word she says ok." He whispered into my ear as his arms rubbed my back soothingly.
I sniffled and look up at him "I'm fine" I whispered.
He gave me a look that said he didn't believe me. I sighed and turned my head away as more tears surfaced. I felt him put a hand under my chin and lifted it and locked eyes with his. He sighed as his thumbs wiped away my tears.
"Mitchie" he whispered.
I sighed "I'm fine, just some of the word she said brought back some of my old insecurities." I confessed. Shane looked at me before leaning down to kiss me. He rested his forehead against mine once we pulled away. "Mitchie you know that nothing she said is true. I know that you would never use me for my fame. And you are special, you mean everything to me. Don't believe a word she says ok." He said.
I smiled. "Do you think we could go back downstairs? Your mom's dessert looks amazing." I joked.
He laughed and pulled me in for another hug before taking my hand and leading me downstairs back to the dining room.
Once we sat down I noticed Nicola wasn't there and saw Shane's parents smiling at my sympathetically. I smiled at them and we ate the dessert Denise had made. The rest of the evening went by without a hitch. Nicola didn't come back down and the rest of us went into the living room after dinner and just talked. Denise, Andrew and I were all getting to know each other as we watched Shane and Frankie play on the Xbox.
"I'm sorry about what Nicola said." Dense said as we watched the two boys attempt to slay a dragon.
I smiled at her and said "It's ok; I was kind of expecting someone to say something like that. I just want you to know that I genuinely care about your son and I'd never intentionally hurt him."
She smiled at this and said "I know you wouldn't. I can tell by the way you look at each other. I've never seen him so happy Mitchie and I have you to thank for that. When Shane called after Camp Rock I cried. It had been almost two years since he called us. Once he explained to us that he met a girl that knocked some sense into him and brought him back down to earth I knew that I had to meet you. I also called Brown to find out more about you and he was nothing but nice. You've had a huge impact on Shane and on this family Mitchie and I'll forever be grateful for everything you've done for us."
Touched by her words I simply smiled at her. I turned back to the others and saw that they were all staring at Denise and I. I blushed and Shane chuckled making his way over to us. He sat by my side and wrapped an arm around my shoulder.
It was 11pm when we decided that it was best for us to go to bed. Andrew turned to me and Shane. "I trust we can let you two stay in the same room without having to worry about becoming grandparents anytime soon." He joked. Both Shane and I blushed at this as we reassured them that nothing would happen and made our way to Shane's room.
We got to his room and Shane went to his bathroom that was connected to his room to change. I grabbed a pair of pyjama bottoms and a strap top from my overnight bag and changed in his room. Once I changed I heard Shane knock on the bathroom door asking if it was ok for him to come back into the room. I walked over to the door and opened it for him. He smiled at me as we made our way over to his bed. Once we got in he immediately pulled me into his arms and kissed me with everything he had. I eagerly returned the kiss as I felt his tongue graze my bottom lip. I opened my mouth and our tongues fought for dominance. I entangled my fingers into his hair as he pushed me down onto my back as he hovered over me. When the need for air became too much of problem I pulled away. Shane rested his head on my neck as his lips lingered on my skin. The only sound you could hear was our heavy breathing. Once he composed himself Shane rolled off of me and laid by my side. I turned to him and let my head rest on his chest.
I felt him play with my hair in a soothing way and I felt my eyes starting to droop as sleep consumed me.
So there's part one for ya!
