Mitchie bit her lip because she didn't want to smile too widely. She couldn't stop smiling when she saw Shane looking at her. Her face was a deep red because she was so embarrassed but flattered at the same time.

Alex stood up to greet her. "Hi, I'm Alex. Nate's girlfriend. You must be the girl who's staying in his room. Or as he likes to call it, 'has conquered and taken over.'" She said. Mitchie smiled. She never really liked people when she first sees them. Tonight though, she was in a good mood.

"I'm Mitchie." She said. Shane sat next to Nate at the piano.

"Great, now she has taken and conquered my girlfriend. I really wanted to take her outside to make out." Nate said, crushed. Shane snorted.

"Yeah, like she'll make out with you. You've guys dated for a year and she had only kissed you twice." Nate punched him in the arm. Shane laughed and rubbed his arm.

"I will not deny or approve that, but I did have a plan. I was going to take her outside for a romantic walk. Then when we come back, we'll kiss under the mistletoe and go on from there." Nate winked. Shane rolled his eyes.

"Wait, what mistletoe?"

"The one I put hours ago."

"Wow, looks like you've got this all planned." Nate shrugged and smiled.

"What can I say? I'm a genius." Shane patted his brother's arm.

"You go think that." Then he walked away. Nate sighed. He walked towards Alex and Mitchie. The girls were laughing. Nate raised his eyebrows. Mitchie not in a bitchy mood. Wow, fascinating and it rhymes. He thought. Nate cleared his throat and linked arms with Alex.

"Can I have my girlfriend?" He asked to Mitchie. Mitchie laughed.

"Sure." The two smiled. "O Alex one more thing." Alex and Nate turned. "How much did Nate pay you to date him?" Alex laughed while Nate glared at her.

Connie walked towards Mitchie and smiled at her. "So far you're going with our deal. I'm surprised you didn't blow up on Alex." she said. Mitchie shrugged.

"Well she's not that bad." Mitchie looked at Shane who was glancing at her from time to time. Their eyes met and Mitchie blushed and smiled. She turned back to Connie. "Plus, I'm in a fabulous mood. I don't think I've been this happy in a while." Connie touched Mitchie's arm.

"I'm glad to hear that, Mitchie." Connie smiled and walked back to the adults. Mitchie noticed that Alex and Nate were gone. She searched the room, wondering where they are. Shane walked up behind her. He leaned down near her ear.

"They're outside if you're wondering." He said in a soft voice. Mitchie felt his warm breath on her neck and ear. She started feeling really nervous for some reason. She never really felt that way. Mitchie turned her head slightly at Shane. They were so close. She took a step away and smiled.

"Thanks." She said, weakly. Mitchie started getting mad at herself. What the hell is wrong with you, Torres? Don't act like putty in his hands! Wait - why am I acting like putty in his hands? What impossible explanation is there to this?! I want a doctor! Or a freaking scientist! Calm down, Mitchie. Keep your cool and don't blow up on Shane. Remember, Corvette, Barneys, and Uggs. Just remember that. It'll be all worth it.

Mitchie gave Shane another smile then quickly walked away. Shane smirked and rolled his eyes. He walked towards the piano and started playing. The backdoor opened and Alex and Nate came out. Nate looked smug while Alex was blushing hard as ever. Shane raised his eyebrows. I can't believe his plan worked out. That's…really amazing actually. He thought. He looked at Nate and gave him a 'congrats' look. Nate smiled and winked.

Mitchie was in between her parents and the Torres's, talking to Alex, Nate, Jason, and his girlfriend. Shane was just silently playing on the piano. Then he started playing the tune for 'The Christmas Song.' Connie sighed.

"O my goodness. I love this song." She said. The room quieted down and the only sound of Shane playing was the only sound in the room. Mitchie smiled. This was her favorite Christmas song. "Mitchie, why don't you sing?" Mitchie widened her eyes. She hasn't been asked to sing since she was eleven.

"No, I don't really think so." She said, nervously.

"Why not? You sing beautifully." Richard said.

"We would love to hear you sing, Mitchie." Denise said. Mitchie sighed and looked at Shane.

"I don't think I should. I-" Then her mother leaned down near her to tell her something so only the two of them can hear.

"Sing and you'll get number five on your list." she whispered. Mitchie smiled.

"Well I guess I could." Mitchie walked up to the piano and sat on it. She started singing. With every word and every gesture, it sounded so beautiful. Shane has never heard anything so pure.

As she sang, everyone smiled. Alex leaned on Nate's shoulders and he put his arm around her waist. Jason wrapped his arms around his girlfriend as she leaned on his chest. Connie and Richard held hands and Denise and Paul linked arms.

Mitchie looked at Shane as she sang. She smiled as she let out every note. Shane smiled back up at her. He felt as if he never wanted her to stop singing. Mitchie kept on leaning down to Shane with every word she sang.

"Although it's been said…many times and many ways…Merry Christmas…" She leaned in even closer to Shane. They faces had a small space between them. "To you…" Shane played until the last note. He was about to lean up at her to close the gap, until he was interrupted by the clapping.

"My goodness Mitchie! You sang so beautifully I almost cried!" Denise said. Mitchie almost fell over the piano, but she quickly got up and hopped off the piano. She smiled.

"Thanks." She said. Then everyone started telling her about how wonderful her singing was. Even Nate complimented her. Mitchie smiled and looked on the floor. Usually she would milk everything up when she gets the spotlight, but right now she felt like she just had a sudden change of heart.

Shane walked up to her. "I never thought you could sing." He said. Mitchie shrugged.

"Well now you know." she said. Shane smiled.

"Wanna go out for a walk?" Mitchie raised an eyebrow.

"In the freezing cold where I can die of ice and snow?"

"Aw, don't exaggerate. It's not that cold."

"Well that's because you're used to it." The two laughed. Shane linked arms with her.

"Come on, let's go for a walk."

"Fine but if I die you'll be held responsible." They laughed again. Shane got Mitchie's coat and put it on her. Then they were off.

It was lightly snowing. The sky wasn't as cloudy as they thought it would be. It was filled with stars in every direction. Mitchie looked at it, surprised. New York has so many lights you almost never see a star there.

"Wow the stars look so amazing here." she whispered. Shane looked at her.

"Yeah they are." Mitchie smiled and leaned in closer to him. Shane felt like a wall as he supported Mitchie's weight. The two started walking again. "I'm amazed how you managed to walk from my house all the way here. Those shoes look hella uncomfortable."

"You get used to it after years and practice. Heck, I can run in these without getting hurt."

"Ouch. Sounds painful." Mitchie laughed. "Well enough about shoes. What are we doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"We're…getting along." Mitchie raised an eyebrow and laughed.

"I'm sorry. Is that against the law or something? What, I can't be nice?" Shane smiled and poked the tip of her nose. Mitchie tried not to blush.

"I never said that." He said. He put an arm around her waist and pulled her in closer. "Plus I like you like this. I really like you." Mitchie turned the other way so Shane couldn't see how much she's smiling right now.

The two walked and talked. Then they started to slowly fall for each other. Mitchie never had a boyfriend, but she kissed many boys. She always thought that she really liked them, but instead they ended up just using her for her fortune. Shane on the other hand, liked many girls. None of them ever liked him back though. He always ended up getting his heart broken before he even had a chance to ask the girl out.

As they walked and talked, they felt something different. Something good and meant to be. Wow, the not so spoiled, bratty, bitchy, side of Mitchie is actually…amazing. She's actually…wow. Shane couldn't find the right words for this feeling right now. He knew that he was falling for her but he just couldn't explain it.

Shane Grey. Who would of thought of it? My first boyfriend could possibly be Shane Grey. The guy who practically hates me. Well not tonight. Tonight is different. Who knew if I wasn't 'mean' then we could have been like this for a long time. Where are you going with this, Mitchie? Wait - did I just tell myself that I like him?

Mitchie shook her thoughts off and looked back up at Shane. She smiled at him and he smiled down at her. "I think we should be going back. Our parents might throw a fit." Shane said. Mitchie smiled.

"Sure." Mitchie said. They turned around and walked towards the club. They finally reached it and stopped. They looked up to see what was hanging above their heads. "Mistletoe." Mitchie whispered.

"Mistletoe." Shane repeated in the same soft voice. They looked into each other's eyes. "I think we should be going back-" Mitchie leaned up and kissed Shane. Shane smiled into the kiss and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer and upper. Mitchie stroked her hands through Shane's hair and deepened the kiss. Shane gently and slowly rubbed her leg. Mitchie hummed of satisfaction and pleasure. Shane just realized what he was doing. He was making out with a teenage girl three years younger than him. He pulled away, embarrassed. Mitchie looked at him, shocked.

"Why did you stop?" she asked. Shane scratched his head.

"We shouldn't be doing this. I mean, we're not even dating and stuff. Plus, I'm a lot older than you." Mitchie rolled her eyes.

"First of all, you're only three years older than me. Second we don't have to date to kiss. Third, stop being such a good boy!" Mitchie started kissing him again. This time Shane didn't protest.

After a little while, the two stepped back, blushing and smiling. Shane put his hands on Mitchie's shoulders and leaned in. Their noses were touching and he smiled at her. Mitchie smiled back.

"Do you wanna go out with me?" Mitchie asked. Shane raised his eyebrows.

"I thought boys are supposed to ask that." he said.

"Welcome to the twenty-first century." They laughed.

"Sure then. I would love to." Shane put his arm around Mitchie and opened the door. Everyone was still the same as they left them. They were laughing and having a good time. Nate looked at Shane with a raised eyebrow. Shane winked at his brother and Nate gasped.

"What's up with Nate?" Mitchie asked Shane. Shane laughed.

"He's just way too surprised right now." he said.

"Why?" Shane shrugged. Mitchie leaned in closer to Shane and snuggled into his arm. Connie, Richard, Denise, and Paul looked at them feeling completely shocked. Connie and Denise looked at each other and smiled.

"Where did you guys go? Do anything fun?" Connie asked.

"I bet they did a couple of things." Nate said, grinning. Mitchie and Shane sent him death glares. Nate snickered and Alex thumped him in the head.

"Uh, we just went out for a walk." Shane said.

"Like on a date?" Denise asked.

"Sorta" Mitchie said, smiling. Denise and Connie smiled at each other and then they continued talking with their husbands. Mitchie turned to Shane. "Looks like you're my boyfriend." Shane raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"Boyfriend? We kissed once and now we're together? Someone must really like me." Mitchie laughed.

"First we kissed twice and that was technically a make out session. Second, I do really like you." Mitchie said.

"Well then, I guess you're my girlfriend?" Mitchie nodded. Then they started laughing.

"Why are we laughing?"

"I don't know." They continued laughing. Shane looked back at Nate. "I'll be right back." He walked between Nate and Alex. "Sorry Alex, I need to talk to Nate." Alex nodded. Nate looked at Shane.

"What?" Nate asked.

"Thanks." Shane said. Nate looked at him weirdly.

"For what?"

"For telling me your plan. Without it, I don't think I would ever gotten my first kiss…or girlfriend."

"What! O my god! Seriously?!" Nate said, laughing. Shane punched him in the arm. Nate stopped laughing after a while. "Sorry. Just surprised. I can't believe you're dating Mitchie." Shane shrugged.

"Well believe it." He winked. "Thanks for your plan."

"Stealer. Couldn't think of his own way to make out with a girl." Nate said, with his eyebrows raised. Shane stuck his tongue out at him.

"What plan?" Alex asked. Nate turned around and put his arm around her shoulders.

"Nothing, baby." He said, quickly. Shane walked away, rolling his eyes and smiling. He walked back to Mitchie and put his arms around her. She laughed and kissed his cheek.

"You know, I could get used to this." Shane said. Mitchie laughed again. She put her hand on his cheek.

"You better 'cause you're going to get them a lot." They looked at each other again and started to laugh at nothing again. "I think we have a laughing disorder or something." Shane hugged her tighter and they smiled.


The next day, Mitchie and Shane went on their date. It was a snowy morning. They didn't really care what time their date would be. It's not like the temperature was going to change.

The two were walking, hand in hand, near the lake. The beach turned into an icy landscape and so did the lake. It was beautiful. "Wow. I never thought Lake Tahoe would be so…like…just beautiful." Mitchie said softly.

"Well it is. Just like my girlfriend." Shane said with a smile. Mitchie blushed and smiled even more.

"You're so corny!" She laughed.

"I know, but that's why I'm so awesome like that." Mitchie laughed even more.

The two entered the forest and saw Terrence again. Shane groaned and rolled his eyes. "What's wrong?" Mitchie asked. Shane frowned.

"See that guy?" Mitchie nodded her head. "He is the biggest jerk to ever set foot on Lake Tahoe. He also tends to steal girlfriends from Nate and Jason."

"Steal?"

"Well attempting to steal. Like one time, last year, he tried to kiss Alex. It was hecka pathetic for a eighteen year old to try to kiss a fifteen year old." Shane started laughing. "You should of seen him after that."

"Did Nate beat him up?" Shane laughed even more.

"Hell no. Alex kept on kicking him in the one place men do not want to be kicked." They laughed again. "But Nate gave him an earful that only an idiot wouldn't be scared of. He can be very persuasive with words." I know. Mitchie thought.

"What about Jason?"

"O, well Terrence started hitting on one of his girlfriends, which was pretty stupid. Hitting on an older woman with a boyfriend is hella stupid actually. Jason ended up beating the crap out of him." Terrence saw Mitchie and Shane and started walking towards them. "O great. Now he's coming towards us."

"Don't worry. I've met him before. He's completely boring." Mitchie said.

"You've met him?" Mitchie nodded. "Wow, I think his mission in life is to attempt to get me and my brothers' girlfriends or something."

"Mitchie! Great to see you!" Terrence said.

"Yeah." Mitchie answered, not feeling the same way at all.

"O and…Shane. Hi." Terrence said expressionless. Then he turned back to Mitchie and smiled. "My father owns that decent cabin up at that mountain. It's better than the other things around here." He said, looking at Shane. "Would you wish to join me Mitchie?"

"Did I mention that he's rude and a spoiled brat? O…no offense." Shane whispered in Mitchie's ear. She busted out laughing, even if she was just insulted.

"May I ask what is so funny?" Terrence said. Mitchie shook her head and pursed her lips so she won't start laughing again. "Anyways, would you wish to join me?" Mitchie leaned in closer with Shane.

"I'm sorta on a date with my boyfriend if you don't mind." She answered.

"Boyfriend? My, my, Shane Grey finally gets a girlfriend. I can't wait to tell everyone at school this. Now they'll just make fun of you because you're a virgin." Shane rolled his eyes and acted cool. Inside he was boiling of anger and embarrassed. Mitchie raised an eyebrow and frowned.

"Hey! It's not like everyone else isn't a virgin! Heck, I'm a virgin and am proud of it! By the way, making fun of Shane is my job. Not yours. So back off before I ship you off to an remote island flying coach then I'll buy the SWAT team to mess up your face with all of their guns and stuff then I'll remove your birth certifacate and records of anything so it'll be like you would of never existed." Mitchie threatened. Terrence started running away. Shane laughed and hugged Mitchie.

"You know, I love having a girlfriend like you." Mitchie raised an eyebrow.

"I wasn't kidding." She said. Shane laughed.

"Sure."

"No…I'm serious." He stopped laughing.

"Remind me not to mess with you." Mitchie smiled and kissed Shane's nose.

The two ended their date with smiles, kisses, and laughs. They walked back to the cabin, arm in arm. Shane opened the door and Nate and Jason started whistling.

"Hello America! We have our next Romeo and Juliet!" Nate laughed. Jason laughed with him.

"We have our peasant Shane Grey as our Romeo and our multi-billionaire Mitchie Torres as Juliet!" Jason said. Shane rolled his eyes as Mitchie laughed.

"Can I ask who Paris is?" Mitchie asked.

"Who the hell is Paris?" Nate said.

"I figured you never read the book." Shane and Jason snickered. This time, Nate rolled his eyes.

"I'm surprised you even know how to read." Lame insult. Mitchie thought. Then she smiled, thinking of a comeback.

"I'm surprised you even have a girlfriend." Nate raised his eyebrows, speechless.

"Dude, she got you there." Jason said. Nate threw a pillow at him.

"Anyways, I'm gonna go to my room." Mitchie said. She looked at Shane. "Uh, can I, uh, show you something?" Shane, obviously didn't get that Mitchie wanted to make out with him.

"Really? Like what?" He asked, standing up.

"Um, I'll show you." Mitchie said, pulling him in.

"The guy's an idiot. He doesn't even get the hint that his girlfriend wants to make out with him." Nate whispered to Jason.

"Shane's an idiot overall. What guy takes nineteen years to get his first kiss?" Jason whispered back. Nate snickered.

Mitchie pulled Shane into her room and locked the door. She smiled a hot and seductive smile at him. Shane raised an eyebrow. "Something tells me that you don't want to show me something." he said.

"Well you're right." Mitchie said. She pulled Shane by the shirt into a deep and passionate kiss. They stumbled their way onto Nate's bed and continued making out.

Nate started banging on the door. "Don't have sex on my bed! I don't want to have a reminder telling me that my brother and his girlfriend were playing games on the thing I sleep on." He yelled.

"We'll try not to!" Shane said, laughing. Mitchie laughed as Shane started kissing her neck, which was her tickle spot.

"No promises!" Mitchie laughed. Nate rolled his eyes again and sat back with Jason.

"If he bangs her on my bed, I'll be pissed." Nate told Jason.

"Why didn't you just tell them to go to Shane's room?" Jason asked.

"O…right…uh…-"

"O I know why!" Jason interrupted. "Because you're an idiot too!" With that, Nate and Jason started hitting each other roughly with pillows and couch cushions. The four were lucky that their parents were out for today.

Mitchie pushed Shane off of her. She was crying of laughter. "What's wrong?" Shane asked.

"Stop kissing my neck! It's my tickle spot!" Mitchie breathed. Shane smirked.

"Sorry. It was addicting." Mitchie caught her breath and sighed.

"One question."

"Yeah?"

"If you've never kissed a girl…why the heck are you so good at this?" Shane shrugged.

"I guess it's just a gift."

"A very awesome gift." Mitchie said, pulling Shane back in.

Meanwhile, Terrence sat in his chair at home. He hated the Grey brothers ever since he's moved in that cabin, ten years ago. They hated him back too. Both honestly would do anything to ruin each other's moments, day, or even lives. Terrence had the habit of getting attracted by their girlfriends. He doesn't mean to at first, but when he realizes who their boyfriends are, he tries and tries until he can't to get them.

Terrence grimaced. He liked Mitchie when he first saw her about a week ago. She was the only thing in his mind for a long time. Knowing that Mitchie belongs to Shane makes his skin crawl. Then he reminded himself all the other girls in line waiting just for him to talk to them. He smiled, thinking Mitchie is just nothing.

"She's just a little girl. Nothing important…to me at least. To Shane…she's probably his world. Time for someone's world to come crashing down." Terrence said to himself. He sighed, remembering his childhood nightmares with the Grey boys.

Ten years ago…

"I dare you to climb that tree and jump off." Shane said to Terrence. Terrence looked at the ten foot tree and shook his head.

"Heck no! Why would I do that?!"

"Why? Are you scared? I thought you said you're not scared of anything."

"Or are you scared? What's wrong Terrence? Scared and wanna call your mommy?" Nate said.

"Why should I listen to you? You're just six years old!" Terrence yelled at him.

"I may be six but I'm a lot braver than you are!"

"Hey! Don't be stupid here. Terrence could die." Jason said to his brothers. Terrence sighed in relief. Jason turned to Terrence. "How about he just jumps into the river with no clothes on."

"Great! That's safe and embarrassing." Shane said.

"Why would I want to do that too?!" Terrence asked.

"Because, you broke our skateboards with your little crappy motocross bike" Jason said. "Now either jump into the lake naked or I'll tell your mom what you did." Terrence sighed.

"Fine. But we have to do this alone. I don't want anyone seeing me do this." Jason rolled his eyes and Nate sighed. Shane smiled though.

"Sure." Nate said, with his arms crossed.

So later that night, Terrence was butt-naked. Jason, Nate, and Shane were standing behind him. Terrence sighed at the freezing cold water in front of him. He turned his head back at the three boys. "Do I really have to?" He asked.

"Just do it!" Nate said, pushing Terrence in. Terrence screamed as the cold water touched his body. The brothers laughed. Their laughter was joined with a bunch of other girls laughing. Terrence stood up when he saw that ever girl in his and Shane's third grade class was there.

"O my gosh!" then Terrence quickly covered his spot. "You said no one was coming!"

"Actually Nate said no one was coming. I didn't." Shane said with a smirk.

Ever since that day, Terrence and the Grey brothers hated each other. He hated Shane the most though. Shane was the one who embarrassed him to the fullest. But Terrence had a plan. "Say goodbye to your perfect Christmas, Shane." he whispered.
