Shane lay awake in bed as he thought about Mitchie. She was different. She didn't fawn over him. He didn't like that. He wanted her attention. He didn't know why but her indifference was slightly infuriating… yet also he enjoyed it. She was different. She was like the new flavor of the day; so different than his usual tastes. She didn't screech when she saw him. She didn't do anything when she found out who he was. She should have been kissing the ground at his feet yet she simply took the news and shrugged it off like it was nothing. He was a stud. Nobody could resist his charm once he turned it on. He was making it his job to try to get her to succumb to his charms. We will see how Little Miss Mitchie feels about the band once he's done with her.
Mitchie slept through the night without stirring. When she woke in the morning she gave a lazy stretch. She rubbed her eyes as they adjusted to the light in the room. She looked around the room trying to see her surroundings. As last nights activities came back to her, she gasped. She needed to call her mom. Getting up she trudged out the door. Hearing the light padding of feet across the floor she concluded that she wasn't the only one who was awake. She quietly went down the stairs. As she reached the bottom she saw Nate sitting there at the table. His dog was lying loyally at his feet. He looked up when he heard her. He smiled and gave a cheery good morning. She returned the friendly greeting and then asked to use the phone. He oh course complied and gave it to her. As he handed it to her she punched in the familiar number.
"Hello?" Her mother said. "Hi mommy. Sorry I didn't call yesterday. I got a little caught up in something," She informed her mother. "It's fine sweetie. I figured you were having trouble settling in. How is the new house? Are you okay?" Her mother asked. Mitchie smiled. Her mother was just so loving and caring. "The cottage is amazing. I love it. I do miss you though. It's strange not having you around." "… Sweetie it will be okay. If it gets to bad though you can always come back. You know that right?" Her mother asked. She wanted her baby girl to be happy. Mitchie smiled. "I know mommy. I want to try this though. You've put up with me for eighteen years." "Mitchie you were nothing to put up with. You were the perfect child. I couldn't have asked for a better little angel." Mitchie blushed on the other end. "Mom, I'm pretty sure that you're a little biased." "Maybe but you couldn't have made me happier sweetie." Mitchie heard muttering on the other end of the line. "Sweetie I need to go. Your father just burned breakfast. I'll talk to you later. Bye. I love you," her mother said. "Love you to mom." Mitchie heard her mother hang up. She hung up the phone and placed it back in its cradle.
Turning around she saw Shane standing there. "Hey there Mitchie. Who was on the phone?" He asked. "My mother. I was supposed to call her yesterday," was her reply as she tried to move around him but he stepped in front of her. She stopped and looked up at him considering he had a good six inches on her 5'3" frame. Her head maybe reached his shoulder. "We haven't been formally introduced. My name is Shane Grey," he said attempting to be suave. He could get to her. This indifferent girl would fall for him. "Nice to meet you Shane," the girl smiled back at him. He smirked to himself. Yup, he was irresistible. "So… how long are you going to sticking around?" He asked. "I'll be out of your hair shortly. Don't worry. And thank you for last night. I would probably still be out there if you hadn't found me. You have no idea how grateful I am," she replied her eyes sincere. He gave her a smile. "We're glad to help." "If you'll excuse me, I want to go grab my clothes. Then if you wouldn't mind taking me home that would be wonderful." With that said she stepped around him and exited the room.
He frowned. She was leaving so soon. He couldn't let her get off the hook so easily. He would get closer to her. Within a reasonable amount of time, he could have her wrapped around his finger. All he needed were the right moves to pull and the right moods. Rolling his broad shoulders back he began to plan his next move. He could get her. He strolled into the kitchen and quickly informed Nate that he would be taking the girl home. As he was finishing she came into view wearing her dirty clothes. "I left the clothes you lent me on the bed. Thank you very much for that. Again thank you very much. You have been to kind," she spoke. Nate smiled at her. "It was our pleasure. Now try to stick to the trail next time will you," he joked. She laughed and promised she would. As she finished her promise there was a honk from the drive way. The limo was here and they were ready to leave. Following Shane out to the car she was a bit shocked to say the least. He opened the door and motioned for her to get in. She followed his orders and he followed after her. She looked around wide-eyed. She had never been in a limo before. She was snapped out of her thoughts by Shane's voice asking her what her address was. She sheepishly told him. He informed the driver and sat back.
She was adorable the way she looked around the limo. It was as if it were a little kid walked into Toys 'R' Us. Her eyes were so full of wonder it was hard for it to not look cute. He smirked. Anything about her could be cute. Reaching over towards the mini fridge he pulled it open. Grabbing a can of Pepsi for himself he turned to her. "You want one?" he asked. She nodded her head. Taking a Pepsi out of the fridge he popped the top and handed it to her. She said thank you before taking a swig of the drink. He smiled. 'Always be a gentleman. The ladies love that.' He thought to himself. He gave her a smile as she daintily sipped the soda. Popping the top of his own drink he chugged it down. He may be acting a like a gentleman but he still was a boy. She giggled at his behavior. It was quite funny to be perfectly honest. He shot her a playful glare. Leaning over he gave her a playful shove. She laughed at his childish activity. She shoved him back and soon enough they were both laughing like hyenas.
Too soon for Shane's taste they arrived at her cottage. Shane's smile quickly turned into frown. She looked out the window and saw that they were at her home. She gave a small smile at him. "I guess this is my stop. Thank you again," she said. "It was nothing at all. You're a pretty cool girl. Give me your phone. Put your number in mine," he said. She complied and handed her phone to him. She took his and quickly plugged in her number. Handing it back to him she waited for the return of her phone. Once she had it she moved to get out of the limo, but Shane stopped her. He scrolled through his contacts and hit dial once he found one. Soon enough they heard the glee version of 'Don't Stop Believing' fill the space. Looking at the caller id Mitchie saw it was Shane. She looked up at him confused. He gave her a sheepish smile. "Had to make sure you gave me the right number." "What, you don't trust me?" She replied with a look of mock hurt on her face. "Nope," He answered. She held her head a bit higher at that and stuck her tongue out childishly. He gave her a lopsided smile and chuckled at her antiques.
With that she thanked him once again and exited the vehicle. As she opened the door she turned once more to wave at him. He waved back. She walked upstairs and changed her clothes. She instantly felt better as she sat on the couch in the small living room. She curled up and turned on the television. As she sat there her thoughts couldn't help but wonder to the boy that had taken her home. He had only known her for less than 24 hours yet he had already had her attention. For some reason she felt a bit attracted to him. If she was going to be his; however, he would have to work for her. She was not easily won. She may not have dated much through high school but she did know what she wanted and expected out of a male. If he wanted her she would make him work for her. This was going to get intresting.
Shane smirked back as his limo driver took him back to the cottage. He had her number. He was now one step closer to winning her heart. It may take a bit more effort on his end, but he was fine with that. A girl like that was worth it. He knew if he pulled on the right heartstrings he could get any girl. It was just a matter of finding out what heartstrings to pluck. She was defiantly not like his usual tastes. He couldn't just use a couple of cheesy pick up lines. He could tell that much from the short time they had spent together. She needed to be impressed and flattered. He would have to woo her. He would do it though. He wanted this to work. He wanted to try to have a relationship with her and what Shane Grey wants Shane Grey gets.
