AN: Thanks again to all of you for your continued support and reviews! I'm very surprised with the success of this story in all honesty, but I'm glad you all like it. I'll try to update as quickly as possible, but sometimes my stupid job prevents me from doing so. This chapter picks up right after chapter 3. Anyway on with chapter 4.
Previously:
"So Shane what brings you to Trenton? Do you have a concert?" Mitchie's dad inquired. Shane's face reddened slightly.
"Yeah you never told me why you came here," Mitchie said.
"Oh that's easy. Loverboy missed you," Jason said completely oblivious to the glare he was receiving from Shane.
Mitchie blushed then looked up at Shane. "You came here just because you wanted to see me?"
"Uh, well-." Before Shane got the chance to finish Jason cut in.
"Please, missing you is an understatement. He wouldn't stop moaning and groaning about how he missed you. He kept saying missed your 'amazing voice'," Jason said using air quotes. Nate put his head in his hands. Jason continued, "And not to mention how many times he told us about how pretty you-."
"Jason that's enough!" Shane said darkly. The entire dinner table with the exception of Shane chuckled at Jason's antics. Shane's face was a deep shade of red and he refused to look up from his plate. This didn't go unnoticed by Mitchie, and she giggled at him, despite the fact that she was just as red as he was. After the mild laughter died down the table went silent.
Shane was thankful when dinner was finally over. Mitchie came up to him with a smile on her face.
"What?" he asked still annoyed.
She kept smiling. "Nothing. Hey, do you want to go for a walk?"
"Sure, but what are you going to do with them?" Shane said pointing at Nate and Jason. "If something doesn't occupy them, Jason will probably follow us, and I've had enough of him for one night."
Mitchie thought for a moment. She grinned. "I'll be right back." She went and found her parents. "Hey, um me and Shane want to go for a walk so will you entertain Jason for us?"
"Mitchie these are your guests. And, just how do you expect us to entertain them?"
"Daddy, you own a hardware store. Talk to Jason about building bird houses." Her father gave her a look of confusion. "Please?"
"Fine, but what about the other boy?"
"Don't worry I've got it covered." Mitchie walked away from her parents and up to Nate, while Shane followed. "Hey Nate."
"Hey Mitchie."
"So Shane and I are going for a walk. So if you want to entertain yourself, here's Caitlyn's number," Mitchie said winking.
Shane and Mitchie exited her house and began their walk down her street.
"So," Mitchie started.
"So..," Shane mimicked.
Mitchie giggled. "The dinner conversation was pretty interesting."
Shane blushed. He attempted to hide it. "Yeah, well."
"Wow, speechless again?"
"Hey if you keep making fun of me I'm going to have to soak you again."
"Oh, I think you know better. Besides it was obvious that I won that war."
Shane stood in front of her. "Where did you get that idea from? Everyone knows I won."
They began walking forward again down the deserted street. "Hmm who's everyone? I was the only one there and I say I won! Besides you were wetter than I was."
Rather than responding, Shane grabbed Mitchie from behind and began tickling her.
"Ahh, Oh my god Shane stop!" Mitchie said squealing.
"Say that I won."
Mitchie continued to laugh and squirm in Shane's arms. "Never!"
"Say it!" he demanded.
He had found her weak spot and Mitchie caved. "Alright you won the water fight." Shane released her. "Not really though," she added under her breath.
"What was that?" Shane inquired.
"Nothing!" Mitchie smiled up innocently at him.
"I really shouldn't buy that face, but I'll let it slide this time."
They continued to walk until they made it to a small park at the end of her street. They took a seat near the edge of a small pond. "Were all those things Jason said true?" Mitchie asked quietly.
"Y-yeah," Shane stuttered. He never had been very comfortable talking about his feelings.
"I mean you told me that you kinda liked me over the phone, but I don't know it's like it didn't seem real until tonight. Do you know what I mean?"
Shane smiled and reached for her hand and her heart swelled. "Yeah," he stated simply.
Both Shane and Mitchie sat in silence as they watched the sun set. Mitchie looked off into the distance mesmerized. As the light faded Shane looked down at Mitchie lovingly as the wind softly blew through his hair. Mitchie felt his eyes on her, causing her to look at him. "Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked quietly.
"I'm pretty sure you know why, thanks to Jason," he muttered the last part.
Mitchie giggled slightly. A silence came over the pair. Slowly they started to lean in. They space between them became closer and closer until…
"Hey Mitchie! OH MY GOD, SHANE GRAY!" They pair quickly jumped apart. Mitchie felt a blush creep into her cheeks as she looked at her best friend, Sierra, who at the moment had the worst possible timing. Shane was beyond annoyed. He was so close to kissing Mitchie Torres and this girl just screwed everything up!
'Damn it, go trip and fall in the pond,' he thought.
AN: Ok so how many of you hate me for making Sierra interrupt the kiss? Don't worry I'd probably hate myself too. Sorry this chapter is a little shorter than others. Once again I'm loving all of your reviews! You guys make me smile and some of them are so sweet and funny! Don't worry they'll get together soon!
