Chapter 2

Mitchie sighed contently as she closed the door behind her. Her mother looked up from the clothes that were spread around her. Her father, who was sitting in the corner, did not look too happy with his daughter arriving late. He and his wife had also witnessed the interaction between Mitchie and Shane. No father wanted to see his baby daughter kissing a boy like that.

"Michelle Sophia Torres, do you have any idea what time it is?" Steve Torres scolded his daughter. The blissful smile that once had been on Mitchie's face immediately wiped off.

"Sorry Dad, I was just hanging out with Shane. I lost track of time." Mitchie apologised.

"Oh, Steve, cut her some slack!" Connie chided her husband.

"But Connie, you saw what the boy is like on TV. He has a bad image; he is the bad boy of the press. I do not want my daughter spending her free time with a boy like him." Steve argued.

"But Dad! He's not like that anymore. He's changed." Mitchie reassured him, but she knew it was not working.

"Steve shut it; otherwise you will not have a bed to sleep on when we get home." Connie ordered. "So how was it? What did you do?" Connie asked excitedly. She was finally glad that she could talk to Mitchie about boys, back at home it was just about Sierra.

"Mum…" Mitchie moaned embarrassed, hiding her red face into her pillow. Connie smiled.

"Come on, we never talk about these things." Connie begged pouting.

"Fine. If you must know; he asked me to be his girlfriend." Mitchie told her.

"WHAT?" Both Connie and Steve shouted. Both for different reasons of course. Connie grinned in excitement, whilst Steve frowned in disappointment.

"I wasn't so sure of you spending time with him, but now you are dating him. That is out of the question Michelle." Steve ordered, but backed down when Mitchie and Connie glared at him.

"How? When? Where?" Connie asked.

"In the canoe, he kissed me and I asked him where our relationship stood and then he asked him to be my girlfriend. I never felt so happy in my life mum." Mitchie said grinning from ear to ear. Happiness and content was visible in her eyes. It was something new for Connie and Steve; they had never seen their daughter like this before. Back home, she never had that extra sparkle in her eyes.

Steve sighed when he saw her smiling happily. He could tell by the look in her eyes that this Shane boy made his daughter happy. If Shane could do that, he had not rights as a father to take that happiness away from her. He just hoped that she would not be heart broken in the end.

"Mitchie, I will be lenient on your relationship with Shane; but just be careful. I don't want you to get hurt." Steve admitted. Immediately he was indulged in a huge bear hug from Mitchie.

"Thanks for giving him a chance Dad. I promise you will not regret it and nor will he hurt me." Mitchie told him sincerely. Steve nodded appreciatively, knowing that his opinion of Shane mattered to her.

Mitchie was over the moon the next day, even though she was going to go home and may not see her new friends from Camp Rock for another year, she had the best boyfriend ever and her Father was willing to give him a chance. She knew that her fairytale story was just beginning.

"Mitchie!" Several voices called out for her. She turned around and was immediately surrounded by her friends, all of them pulling her into a huge group hug. Jason was the most excited of them all; he was finally having a group hug with more than two people.

"You guys all have to keep in contact." Mitchie told them all. Everyone nodded. Caitlyn handed her a sheet of paper with various email addresses and numbers.

"These are all of our contacts, so that you keep in touch. And if you forget, don't think we will. We managed to get your details from your mum seeing as you slept in." Tess told her winking. Mitchie blushed. She looked around to see that Shane was missing for their little group.

"Shane is still in bed. He too slept in. Gee, I wonder what happened last night." Nate teased. Mitchie knew that Shane's and her date last night was probably the gossip around camp this morning… WAIT! Did she just say, DATE? Last night was not a proper date, was it? Mitchie cleared the thoughts from her head as Jason spoke up.

"You might as well go wake him up before he misses breakfast. Your mum's cooking is the best." He said. Mitchie nodded walking away. She stopped when she felt two hands on her shoulders.

"Hey Mitchie, thanks for bringing our brother back. We missed the old Shane." Nate told her sincerely.

"Yeah, I missed him too, even if he didn't make me that birdhouse." Jason admitted.

"Dude, what is it with you and birdhouses?" Nate groaned.

"Well you could have asked for one if you wanted one. I want-"

"Guys, cut it out. Shane was right about the two of you bickering all the time! And Jason there's a surprise for you in the Mess Hall." Mitchie said. Jason ran off excitedly. Nate rolled his eyes and trailed after him.

Mitchie walked into the cabin that the boys had been sharing. There were clothes and various objects sprawled across the floor. They had not even packed yet. She found Shane sleeping on his bed. He was only wearing pyjama bottoms. He was shirtless. Mitchie's breath caught in her throat as she looked around awkwardly not knowing what to do. Should she wake him up knowing that he was not wearing a shirt? She contemplated what to do in her mind.

She grabbed the flowers out of their vase and poured the water on top of Shane's head. She giggled at his reaction. Shane shot up immediately, looking for the source that the giggling was coming from. He found his girlfriend on the floor laughing so hard that she was crying. He glared at her playfully. He shook his head, which made the water on his hair to fly in different directions. Some of it splashing Mitchie. She stood up from the floor.

"What is it with people and throwing water on my head whilst I am trying to sleep?" Shane complained; he stopped when he realised that Mitchie's attention was not on him but his chest. He could have some fun with this.

"Like what you see?" He teased. Mitchie snorted.

"Please, I've seen better." She retorted, even though colour was rushing to her cheeks.

"Oh really? Then how come, last night you told me that I was your first boyfriend?" He asked her stepping closer to her. Mitchie gulped nervously.

"Well – well, I am not talking about a boyfriend; I am talking about guys in general, like all those hot guys at, uh- school." Mitchie replied, not liking that Shane was hovering over her since he was taller. It made her feel vulnerable.

"Really? Did those guys do this?" He asked her. She looked confused, but then realised what he was talking about as his face neared hers. Their lips met in the middle. Unlike their previous kisses, this one was steamy and hot. Hands were roaming and moans were audible from both of them. Shane groaned appreciatively when Mitchie's hands, though her hands were naïve and were shaking, brushed across his six pack. Mitchie smiled into the kiss knowing that it as her who made his moan. She like it.

Their fun was interrupted when they heard someone clear their throat at the door. The couple instantaneously sprung 5 metres apart from each other. They looked at the door to find none other than Steve Torres himself.

"I was told to check all cabins to make sure everyone is in the Mess Hall having breakfast. Everyone is there except for the two of you." Steve informed them; he was frowning deeply. His face portrayed desperate disappointment in Mitchie. Mitchie bit her lip and avoided eye contact with her dad. Shane watched the interaction between the two of them. He knew that Steve was Mitchie's father and he also knew that Steve was not looking so impressed at the moment.

"Michelle, I want you to go the Mess Hall now." Steve ordered angrily.

"But Dad-" Mitchie started to protest but she knew it was no good.

"Michelle Sophia, Mess Hall, Right NOW!" Steve shouted. Steve very rarely shouted at Mitchie, so she got the message when he did. His face was red with anger. Shane frowned at the situation. Mitchie walked out, but sent Shane a sorry glance. He dismissed it with a shake of his head, imitating that it was his fault. Steve too looked back, but his face was the complete opposite of Mitchie's. He was glaring at Shane, which made Shane want to cover under a large rock.

"Great first impression Shane," Shane muttered quietly to himself as he searched for a clean shirt and jeans. He was beating himself up because he knew that Steve was not pleased with what he had witnessed.

With all the great reviews from you guys, I thought that I might as well put up the next chapter. I am so glad that you like it.

I just want to let you guys know what my stories are like ... I want to keep things real, and not make it seem unrealistic. I hate it when you have stories that have heaps and heaps of drama in them. I thought that the whole idea of Steve being protective of his only daughter was believable because that's what usually happens with fathers and daughters. I also want to get the point across that Shane is Mitchie's first boyfriend, so Steve is not used to sharing his daughter with another man… I hope that explains how this story is going to go. : I also hope that you like it.

With love,
