Mitchie hummed a tune to herself, tapping a pencil onto her strawberry-glossed lips. She eyed the small notepad before her searching for any errors or room for revision. She saw none. Feeling accomplished at another finished song, she flashed a triumphant smile. She twirled the rolling chair around only to see Alex leanng against her bed headboard, idly reading a random fashion magazine. The rockstar giggled to herself, although feeling somewhat guilty at neglecting her friend. Friend? Mitchie wondered if they were just friends, before shrugging it off deciding it was a thought to clarify later on in the future.
She tiptoed her way towards Alex, careful not to make any sound. But she forgot another thing to be careful about.
"Mitchie, I can see you," the middle Russo stated dully, though she didn't attempt to hide a smirk planted on her face. She carelessly threw the reading article away when Mitchie settled on the bed beside her. "Are you done with the song yet? I feel neglected," Alex pouted to dramatize her neglection.
The Californian nodded before giggled at the other girl's complaints, but still giving her a peck on the forehead. Alex still wasn't satisfied. She wanted to feel those delicious lips caressing her own, but she let it go anyways. She didn't want to mess up again. She'll wait until time is right, which should be soon. Hopefully by soon, I mean within today soon. I wonder how they taste like... The young wizard wrapped an arm around Mitchie's petite waist and pulled her closer to her own body. Both of their bodies tingled at the familiar, yet still pleasing, contact.
"Can I get to hear the song now?" Alex instinctively wrapped another arm around her star, enveloping her with a 'Russo Hug'.
Mitchie sighed and leaned towards the hold. She gazed upon Alex with her soft, brown eyes, and the wizard could see the mischievous glint shining through them. She raised an eyebrow at the singer curious at to what she has in mind.
"So I was thinking," the dark haired girl starts, "that I won't sing you the song." The rockstar tried her best to suppress a giggle when Alex's response was to gape at her.
"What? Mitch, you said the song was for me," her whining turned to irritated complaints. "Does that mean I gave you 'Mitchie's Alone Songwriting Time' for nothing? You're a cruel, cruel person."
Mitchie couldn't hold it any longer, finally letting out the laughter she tried to hide. She chuckled more when Alex stared at her with a blank expression, not knowing what to make of her laughter. The younger of the two shook her head and continued, "You didn't let me finish. I'm not going to sing you the song, yet." She decided to toy with the rebel a little bit longer. I think Alex is rubbing off on me.
Alex narrowed her eyes at the girl beside her, "Yet? Wanna explain a little bit more? Sort of getting confused here."
Mitchie cleared her throat and clasped one of the middle child's hands that laid on top of her stomach, "So I thought to myself, why would I sing the song to you right now after what happened the last time I sang to you." Alex blushed and immediately tried to defend her pride.
"You act like I molested you." The singer gave her an 'Oh really?' look making the taller girl confess, "Okay maybe I did. But you molested back! Last time I check the universal sign to call for help wasn't to feel up the molester, Torres."
It was Mitchie's turn to stutter, "Well-I was-that wasn't." She huffed in anger, emphasizing it by crossing her arms across her chest and with her chin up.
"Sorry baby. Teasing you is so much," Alex giggled and kept her hold around the girl, unaware that her choice of words caught the singer's attention.
The rockstar, curious as ever, faced the New Yorker and then asked, "What did you just call me?"
Alex awkwardly released her hold and chuckled half-heartedly, "W-What? Called you what? I didn't call you anything." Mitchie wasn't convinced.
"Don't play dumb, Alex. I know what you said," she pursed her lips at the liar. Alex 'pfft-ed' back at her.
"If you knew what I said, then why are you asking then? Hmm?" She mirrored Mitchie by crossing her arms as well.
Mitchie surprised Alex by swinging on leg over her body before settling right on the rebel's lap. She then boldy placed her arms behind the brunette's head and brought her lips deathly close to Alex's ear. Alex yelped briefly before instinctively place her hands on Mitchie's hip. She gave out a labored breath from the feeling of the singer's lips brushing over her ear. And when Mitchie spoke, the wizard nearly rolled her eyes back and bit back a moan just from the proximity and the sensuality dripping from her voice.
"I just wanted to hear it again. I liked it. A lot," Mitchie tried her best to bring out her 'sexy' voice, smirking at Alex's strained reaction to it.
The middle Russo shuddered in pleasure and buried her face into the crook of the star's neck, "Baby, I take it back. It's so much fun when you tease me." She bit the inside of her cheeks to stop herself from any more vocalizing when she felt Mitchie's hot breath tickle her earlobe.
"Mmm, much better," Mitchie chuckled.
To Alex's surprise, Mitchie kissed her cheek briefly before abruptly lifting herself up from her lap and settling again right beside the brunette. The singer flashed an innocent smile at her, but the New York native could see the glimmer of victory reflecting from her eyes. She returned the smile with a good glare.
"Teasing is good, but not when you leave me hanging," the wizard pouted before she groaned in frustration.
Mitchie could only grin more, "You're such a guy! I bet you even forgot what we were talking about before."
Alex scrunched her nose and scratched the back of her neck in wonder, "You're right. What were we talking about? You're sex drive totally seemed more important than the thing before it. Wanna summarize and wrap it up for me?"
The younger girl chuckled and shook her head, "Only because you said it so nicely, I will. ANYWAYS, as I was saying, I'm not going to sing you the new song."
The wizard interrupted her, "This where I start complaining about how you neglected me for nothing, right?"
"Yeah-Wait, no! Stop interrupting me!" Mitchie smacked Alex's thigh lightly, only seeing the taller girl grin.
"Only if you hit me harder," the rebel stated casually only to have a gasp and another smack in return. "I said harder, baby." She smirked triumphantly when Mitchie glared at her, unable to hide her faint blush.
"Whatever. I'm going to ignore that comment and your masochism and continue what I was saying. I wanted to sing you the song after..." She trailed off, suddenly feeling nervous. She had to fight the urge to pick at her nails, settling with just biting her bottom lip.
Alex could only roll her eyes and lean against the singer, "Come on, Mitchie. I'm sort of getting old here."
"Okay, okay. Um, I was wondering if you, you know-"
"No, Mitchie. I don't know, that's why you're gonna tell me," Alex chuckled.
Mitchie sighed and tried again, "I was wondering if you... Umm, if you want go out on a... date... with me?"
The older girl felt her heart flutter at the star's words, "Umm..." She mentally kicked herself at her loss of words. Dammit, what am I saying? Say yes! "Er..."
"It could be like a friend with friend thing. It's not a real, uh yeah, if you don't want it to be. I'm totally cool with that," the Californian offered regretfully.
"No..." Shit.
Mitchie visibly winced at hearing the two letter reject word. She motioned to create a distance between them. Alex saw this and didn't bother to mask her frustration when she literally slapped herself on the forehead.
"Wait, Mitch. I didn't meant it that way when I said no."
"Then what did you mean, Alex?" The singer mumbled softly, obviously hurt.
Alex flinched at the younger girl's tone. "I meant like I didn't want it to be a friend thing. I actually want it to be a real," she struggled to stutter out the word, "d-date."
"You make it sound like you've never been asked on a date before," Mitchie pouted, still slightly offened from earlier.
The rebel scoffed, "I've been asked a bunch of stuff AND for the record, I've went on one pleny of times. PLENTY..." She averted her gaze momentarily, "... Just not recently."
The rockstar sighed, finally forgiving Alex, and then laughed at the older teen, "Well I just asked you, didn't I? Whatcha think about it?"
"Mmm..." Alex wrapped one arm around the girl and continued, "Yes, I'd like that."
Mitchie grinned and sat up on the bed, "Good cause I wasn't gonna take no for an answer."
The brunette chuckled at her words while raising a questioning brow at the Californian, "I don't know about that, Mitch. I'd hate to tell you but...It sort of did look like you would take no for an answer."
"Well," Mitchie thought of the best excuse she had, "I wasn't expecting a no." She ignored Alex's doubtful smirk, "But who cares."
"You care," the brunette poked fun at the younger teen.
Mitchie could only roll her eyes before standing up from the bed, "So I'll pick you up around..." She checked the time on her blackberry, "around 6 ish? Give or take."
Alex was taken back, "Did you plan this ahead or something?"
The singer already climbed out of the window and onto the fire escape stairs. She then turned around to face the room and winked back at the New Yorker, "Maybe. I'm taking you somewhere for a bit. Then you have to show me around New York. See you in 4 hours, babe." With that, the rockstar went down the flight of stairs to avoid press wainting from the main entrance of the substation.
Alex Russo stared at the opened window for a few seconds. She stared. And stared. And smiled. And then she-
"YES!" Then realization dawned on her, "Crap, I have to plan something.."
The outburst could be heard from outside. Little did she know, Mitchie stopped just one floor below the room and could perfectly hear her reaction. The singer giggled at the rebel's action before finally going down the steps. She had to set everything up and get ready in a few hours after all.

Alex stepped down the spiral stairs leading to the loft only to be greeted by Harper and Juliet by the kitchen. She stared at the two from the bottom of the steps surprised by their appearance.
"Hey...guys. Didn't know you were dropping by today," the rebel greeted awkwardly.
Juliet scrunched her nose, "Mmm, you smell different today. New perfume, Alex?"
The wizard sniffed her top consciously, "Why? Do I smell bad?"
The blond vampire sniffed again, "You smell like sweet melon."
"That's good right? Good, fruity scents are cool?" The apprehensive wizard asked with worry.
Harper then noticed her best friend's clothes, "Wow Alex. You haven't looked this good ever since you dumped Dean."
"Oh, thanks. I do look pretty-" Alex paused, finally registering what Harper meant, "Hey wait! I always look good, Harp. What are you implying?"
The normal teen circled her best friend, "I'm saying that you only dress up like this when you're going out with someone you actually really like." Harper stopped beside Juliet and looked impressed, "And it looks like you practically love that someone a WHOLE lot."
Alex gasped, "W-What? Pfft, that's stupid, Harper."
Harper shook her head and faced Juliet, "No, no. It's true. You see, Alex has this thing for every date. Whenever she's going on pity dates, she wears her usual every day clothes. But when she out with a guy that's really cute and worth it, she pampers herself like no there's tomorrow."
The rebel scoffed, "This? This is casual. Right Juliet?"
The blonde monster shrugged, obviously not convinced. "I don't know, Alex. I mean, look at you! You curled your hair and you're clothes look like you just bought them. You have a cute top on, with a white short-sleeved blazer. And Alex, I've known you long enough to know that you usually don't wear heeled boots with skinnies."
The middle Russo rolled her eyes, "Oh gee. You've been so much help, Juliet. And guys, there's a first time for everything."
"Mm, liar," Harper butted in. "Who's the lucky guy? Anyone we know?"
Alex stated silent, unsure if she should tell them about Mitchie. She glanced at the clock. Five-fifty five. Come on, Mitch. Wouldn't mind you being a little bit early.
"You won't even tell us a hint? I wanna know if this guy's good for you or not," Harper whined.
"Trust me, Harp. Mi-" She caught herself in time, "Mmm, my safety is perfectly fine. The... er... guy is good for me." Alex felt her lips twitch into a small smile just thinking about the celebrity, "Really good for me."
Harper persisted, still awefully curious, "Alex, you're smiling like a weirdo. Who's the guy?"
The wizard raised her eyebrows at her best friend, "Harper!" She faced Juliet, wanting to avoid talking about Mitchie and talk about something else, "How long are you guys gonna stay here?"
Juliet wiped the red jelly, or what should be red jelly, from her cheeks due to the jelly-filled donuts and replied nonchallantly, "Oh, Harper's just accompanying me while I wait for Justin to come back from his monster hunting thing. So maybe all day, give or take."
Alex nodded slowly, before jumping in surprise by a sudden knock on the door. She glanced at her two friends before rushing to the door. She opened the door wide enough for her to get through and immediately closed it behind her. Mitchie blinked at the taller girl, confused at her quick actions. The brunette placed one finger on the singer's lips, making both of them slightly blush at the contact, but Mitchie kept quiet. Alex glanced at the girl before her. I'll have enough time to check her out later. She then held onto Mitchie's hand, leading down the stairs and out to the street.
Meanwhile, Harper and Juliet stayed in the loft.
"Did you hear anything, vampire girl? Anyone we know?" Harper asked the blonde undead.
Juliet could only shook her head, "No, Alex made sure he didn't talk." She paused before stating in wonder, "But the guy sure smelled like strawberries... Huh."
- - -
Mitchie found herself once again being lead by Alex by hand, but she didn't complain. Her hips are swaying, her legs moving that completely shows off her cute little behind... I don't think I can complain. She blushed when she caught herself checking out the older girl. But the singer had to admit, Alex looked more gorgeous than usual. And that's saying a lot when the rebel always looked beautiful. So beautiful... Mitchie was brought out of her own musing when she realized that the both of them stopped moving and Alex's gave a cheeky grin.
"So I was walking, but then I realized that I didn't even know where you want us to go. So..." The middle Russo stepped aside and motioned the rockstar to go in front, "Lead the way, my lady."
The younger teen chuckled at Alex's cheesy line, but loved it anyways, "Sure thing, Romeo." Seeing the other teen's face fall, Mitchie chuckled and apologized, "Sorry, Lex. Just never thought you could be such cheesy mush."
"Yeah, sure whatever. Just don't tell anyone. I have a reputation to keep," Alex grabbed hold of the other teen's hand as they walked together down the busy street of New York. "So what do you have in mind for our date?"
Mitchie didn't reply immediately, wanting to just relish the moment they had right now. She couldn't help but smile like a girly when the word 'date' was uttered. Alex, on the other hand, couldn't keep her eyes off Mitchie's body. She wore her favorite leather jacket and a black top the hugged her curves that a dangerous deep down her front. But what the wizard loved the most were her legs. Mitchie stayed true to her rockstar status and was cladded in tight leather jeans accompanied with a ankle-high eather boot. It was a sight to see for the rebel. God, I'd love those legs to straddle me and then-
"Alex, eyes up." The brunette snapped out of her thoughts and felt blood rush up to her cheeks when she realized she got caught ogling her friend. "I guess the press were right. I got killer legs," Mitchie smirked confidently.
Alex could feel her cheeks burn, "No comment. Anyways, where we going? We've been walking for like ever."
Mitchie nodded towards the end of the street, "The place is just around the corner. Me and Caitie found it while we were looking around. It's a night cafe and club, in a way. You'll see."
They reached the stairs leading down to the obscured door. Alex read the neon sign that hung above them. Live Cafe. Mitchie pushed the door open, followed by Alex, hand in hand. The brunette let her jaw drop when she saw the inside of the place. The whole area was dimly lit with a soft hue of different shades of color. The walls were decorated by artwork of paintings and metal creations. The place itself was huge than she expected. Over at the side was the bar for those legal, and then the rest of the space were used up by the a few sets of tables and seats, the dance floor, and the stage. The stage was empty; the DJ busied himself with mixing songs as groups of people gathered in the middle, jumping and dancing to the tune of the music. To say the least, this place was full of energy. Alex felt a tug on her arm and she glanced up to see Mitchie smiling at her.
"Wanna dance?"
Alex could only nod dumbly as she was being pulled through the crowd. A lump formed in her throat as the bodies of people pressed her body against Mitchie's. She felt her body hum in pleasure as the rockstar wrapped her arms around her neck as Alex instinctively placed her hands on the younger teen's waist. She trembled.
"I usually don't dance," the middle Russo muttered, only loud enough for Mitchie to hear through the booming music.
The Californian closed her eyes, bring their bodies closer together, "Just follow me."
They started out slow, just swaying gently side to side. Their hearts beating just as fast the music due to the proximity of their bodies. Alex bit on her lip and stared into the Mitchie's eyes; she was more confident. The singer understood, speeding up their pace just a little bit. Their bodies moved more freely and were in sync with each other. Alex felt her body tingle when they accidently brushed their hips together. She bit back another moan when someone accidently bumped her from behind making her body crash against Mitchie's. The rockstar struggled to keep her balance when Alex crashed into her. She felt pressure building up from her stomach traveling down south. They didn't stop though. They were lost in the music, lost in each other.
By now, Alex freely danced with no restraint. Their bodies connected, only to be separated by their clothes. Layer of sweat became to form on their foreheads. They no longer cared when their hips would clash together, in fact they waited for it. Their hands found each other, locking their fingers tight as their bodies continue to dance.
"Mitchie..."
The music stopped. The trance between them broken. They stayed there, bodies pressed together, with their chests heaving for air. The crowd around them commenced into a roar of applause. Everyone was stoked. Not them. Instead of joining everyone else in cheers, they stayed put. The teens focused on each other, not caring about the world about them. Right now, it was only them. Mitchie cleared her throat.
"Well that was... That was fun."
Alex took a step back, combing through her soft curls, "Uh, yeah. Um, hey I'm going to go to the restroom for a bit. Do you mind getting drinks while I'm gone?"
The younger teen nodded softly and flashed a smile with Alex returning it. The brunette turned and mapped her way through the crowd that was slowly dispersing. She didn't have too much difficulty finding the restroom with a huge, pink neon sign saying "Girl's Restroom" hovering over a closed door. She went through the door, surprised at how clean it is despite it being a public restroom. Alex checked all the stalls, satisfied that all were empty. And clean. She chuckled softly to herself. She went back to the door and locked it shut before standing in front of the mirrors. She grimaced at her reflection.
Her hair was a mess. Her clothes all ruffled and out of order. She made a pouty face. The wizard, being a wizard, reached for her wand discretely hidden within her boot. She muttered an improv spell and in just that one moment, she looked fresh and ready to go. Alex turned side to side, checking herself before nodding in approval. I look good, but... A thought brought itself to her. The dancing just a few minutes ago. She couldn't ignore that fact that she liked it. No, I loved it.
Alex groaned. She fucking loved it and she didn't know what to make of it. What was that? It was some kind of connection. It was like a spell casted on only the both of them. It was... Hot. It was hot, Alex concluded. She's still a teenage girl with raging hormones after all.
For the time being, Mitchie busied herself trying to get drinks for Alex and herself. She struggled to keep her balance now that mostly everyone from the dancefloor now crammed towards the bar. She pressed through bodies and extended her hand out in front of her. Her fingers brushed through a hard, smooth top and then she pushed forward. Mitchie gave out an exhausted sigh as she finally made it through. She heard a loud sound of some guy clearing up his throat which made her glance up in front of her. Oh... She blushed. She didn't realize the bartender was right there before her, impatiently waiting for her order.
"Uh, can I have two cherry cokes, please?"
The bartender simply nodded and went to get it whilst getting the orders of others as well. She idly tapped the counter with her fingertips. Mitchie felt herself slightly pushed to the side by the people behind her. These people are so rude. She took a note to glare at the next person that bothered her. Bodies were everywhere, pressing against her, thus pushing her body into the countertop. Normally would continue thinking on how people are jerks sometimes. But just thinking about bodies pressing together reminded the rockstar how Alex's body was pressed against hers. It reminded her of how their fronts molded so well with each other, reminded her on how delicious having near to no space between them felt.
She didn't know what it was, but she sure as hell enjoyed it. She enjoyed it a lot. Mitchie bit her bottom lip, tasting her lip gloss that's almost gone. She went through her pocket in her leather jacket. Bringing her favorite lip gloss up, she applied another layer of the strawberry flavored substance. She frowned with the realization how her hair must be. I probably look gross. She attempted to comb her hair with fingers, but she still managed to feel icky. She gave up when her drinks were served. Oh looky, it's served in cans. Mitchie rolled her eyes. It was good enough.
The rockstar fought through the bodies once again. She blushed when she just couldn't help but think how she'd rather have Alex's body pressing against her instead of these strangers. She stumbled when she was finally set free from the crowd. Just in time too, Alex just went through the door looking good as new. Mitchie quirked her eyebrows. How did she do that? It's like magic.
Alex scanned the cafe, searching for her 'friend'. She spotted Mitchie at an empty table and made her way over there. Mitchie eyed Alex as she walked towards her. She smiled when the brunette sat across from her, handing the can of cherry coke. Alex muttered a thanks, thumbing the cool aluminum can aimlessly. The singer sensed the awkward tension between them, and she wanted to break it immediately.
"So Alex, what do you think so far about this place?"
She didn't reply immediately, rather she took her time absorbing everything from where she sat. Alex couldn't help by laugh to herself and share a thought.
"This place is actually pretty cool. Plus the restrooms are clean."
Mitchie brought a hand up her lips and let out a dramatic gasp, "Oh my god, really? I've got to see that!" She motioned to rush towards the restroom, but flopped back on the seat giggling along with Alex. The tension was no more.
"But seriously Mitchie, this place is amazing and we've only been here for like, what, around a half an hour?" The brunette paused to take a sip of her coke, "Hey, will there be any bands tonight?" She nodded towards the stage still empty.
Mitchie hummed knowingly, "Actually, there's gonna be a performance in a couple minutes. I think you'd like it..?"
Alex nodded as a reply. She wanted to say something, but she wasn't sure what exactly. It bothered her how being with Mitchie could make her lose all her suave attitude and just turn into a speechless dork.
"So like," the rebel starts, "you dance really well." She smiled, but in her mind she couldn't help but call that lame.
Mitchie quirked her eyebrows and giggled at how Alex seemed to act, "Um, thanks? You're not so bad yourself for someone who doesn't dance." The singer winked, satisfied when Alex's face reddened.
The New Yorker eyed the cafe once more, this time noticing people watching them and talking in hushed tones amongst themselves. She felt uneasy, not being used being the main topic in conversations. She thought that over again. Okay maybe a lot of people do talk about me, but not like this! Mitchie turned to see what made the older teen seem conscious, and sighed when she realized what it was.
"I guess I didn't pay them enough," she grumbled softly to herself.
Alex gaped her mouth open and leaned forward on the table, "You did what?!"
Mitchie giggled weakly, "You didn't think I'd go out publicly like this without getting anyone on me, did you? I paid the manager to keep it on a down low and to make sure anyone who's in here won't do anything that's invading my privacy." She shrugged when Alex continued to stare at her in disbelief, "It's fine. It's just money."
"You must be loaded then," the brunette stated. "Glad to know I hit the jackpot," she laughed when Mitchie slapped her lightly on the arm for the offensive comment.
"Take that back!"
Alex shook her head, "Nope."
The rockstar motioned to slap the older teen again, but Alex was ready this time, catching her hand mid-air. Mitchie struggled to smack the rebel, but her hand was held tight by Alex. She blushed when Alex locked their fingers together and brought it down on the table. The middle Russo smirked in triumph.
"You know I'm kidding, Mitchie baby," she whispered huskly.
Hearing those words made Mitchie flushed in the face. Her cheeked burned even more when she felt sensation course through her body and then stop down there.
"I-you...what?" She was left stuttering. "Uh..."
The Californian was interrupted by a loud boom from a microphone up on stage. It was the manager.
"Ahem, excuse me everyone. So there'll be a LIVE performance tonight, right now. Listen, I don't know if you know the person, but she's one hell of a singer. Young, too. Not a lot of people know her...And you know I'm lying right? She's probably the most famous teen as of right now. And guess what, she's singing right here in this cafe. Give her a round of applause, guys." He cupped the microphone momentarily and whispered to the stage director to use a spotlight, "Give a round of applause for Mitchie Torres!"
A bright light casted on Mitchie, making her squint a little and smile dryly. She waved politely at the crowd that was screaming her name and roaring. She turned to face Alex only to see her with her eyes and mouth wide open.
"Surprised?" She lifted her arms into a lame 'ta-da!' pose.
"Mitchie, come on right up here," the manager called out.
"Enjoy the show, Lex," she kissed her fingertips and blew it to the shocked brunette and rushed towards the stage.
Mitchie stepped up the stage and shook the manager's hand politely. She grasped the mic stand and grinned when sounds of hands smacking together and cries of cheers are heard. She looked over at Alex who's watching her intently. Her lips curved into a smile just the sight of the brunette sitting there.
"Hey guys, what's up?" She giggled when the room got louder, "So I'll only be able to sing two songs tonight." The room immediately protested. "I know guys. But I'm sort of a little busy right now. So the first song I'll sing is by request. Just chant whichever song you want me to sing, and then the second song I'll sing is a new one. I just finished it recently and uuh," she glanced towards her friend, "I wrote it for a special person I just met. So anyways, request guys?"
The crowded grew louder, each shouting songs by her. One song stood out more than the others though.
"DON'T FORGET! DON'T FORGET! DON'T FORGET!"
The singer thumbed the stand awkwardly. She expected it. It was fan favorite after all. Some volunteering band members set up behind her.
"Okay guys, I think I get it. So like, when I wrote this song, it wasn't really personal. But I guess that changed..." Mitchie fidgeted with the stand and stared out towards the crowd, "I'm pretty sure you guys already know about it. I got my heart broken."
"Shane's a douchebag!" A random fan screamed out from the crowd.
Mitchie laughed dryly as the intro notes start to play, "Yeah. Actually, he's a major asshole. I really did 'love' him, but we all have to move on. So this is for all the crap I went through with him."
She shut her eyes, "Did you forget that I was even alive?" Her first words reverberated around the whole room, everyone was captivated. From her seat, Alex could feel Mitchie's voice drip with emotion. She made sure that she'd note everything, not wanting to miss at all.
The song continued with Mitchie putting her heart into it. Somewhere in the middle, the crowd joins in for the chorus. The cafe now filled with Mitchie's soulful voice and grim words accompanied with the fans' eager chant.
"And at last all the pictures have been burned." The mood changed. It was only her voice now with the violin playing in the background. She sang in hushed tones, tears beginning to welp up in her eyes. But she wouldn't let them fall. It wasn't worth it.
"Don't forget..."
An eerie silence fell upon them. Mitchie took in a breath of fresh air, and that's when the crowd roar in excitement. She glanced again at Alex, seeing her cheering just as enthusiastically as the rest. She cleared her throat, waiting for the noise to die down.
"Well, I'm glad that was over with." She eyed backstage, "Um, can I have my guitar please?"
Someone from the side, with guitar at hand, gave the singer her beloved Custom Gibson guitar. She brushed her fingers against the familiar instrument, tuning it as she talks.
"So this second song is sort of silly, but I was inspired 2 days ago by Mario Kart." She laughed when everyone had a 'Wtf' face, "Anyways, I hope you guys like it. I wrote it for my friend."
Mitchie glanced nervously at Alex before smiling softly. She hovered her fingers over the fretboard, feeling for the right chord. She strummed the first notes, and then sang away.
I'll be your princess and you'll be my toad
You'll follow behind me on rainbow road
You'll protect me from red shells wherever we go
You promise
And the finish line is just around the bend
You paused this game so our love will never end
Let's go again
A blue shell is coming and you went ahead
You hanged before me so it'll hit you instead
"Never look back 'cause I'm down but not dead
I'll catch up to you"
Alex grinned at Mitchie knowingly. Her heart fluttered already just by hearing Mitchie's voice, but when she sang about that, it just made her grin like an idiot. She giggled when Mitchie saw her and winked back. She sand the last verse quickly and bowed politely. She handed her guitar to the backstage guy, saying she'll pick it up tomorrow morning. The Californian waved again to the crowd before hopping off the stage. She jogged her way through the crowd who were separating as if Mitchie was Moses. The brunette, who clapping softly to herself, raised a questioning brow at the incoming teen.
"Mitchie, what are you-"
"I don't know, but I feel like running," was her only reply before Alex felt her hand being taken by Mitchie and then lead out to the cafe.
Footsteps reverberated in sync with their beating hearts. Their laughs echoed across the empty buildings of New York. Both were unaware with whatever the hell they were doing, but they enjoyed themselves anyways. They slowed down into swift strides, still giggling to each other in absolute bliss.
"That was odd," Alex starts as their joint hands swing as they walk, "but it was fun."
The wizard noticed the street they were on. Eighth Avenue. A thought came to mind, she knows what to do now. And yes, she just figured what she'll do for the date. She noted the towering, impressive buildings. They were nearby. As they continued talk, Alex checked if rows of trees were seen. There.
"Hey Mitchie, want to do me a favor?" She tried to act casual.
The younger teen shrugged, "Yeah sure. What do you want me to do?"
Alex hopped in front of her and enclosed her arms around Mitchie's shoulders.
"Close your eyes," she whispered breathly as she brushed her lips against the rockstar's ear.
Mitchie felt goosebumps form all over her body and blushed, "U-Uh, o-okay."
She leaned forward against Alex's front and shut her eyes. She felt Alex backed up to check if she was truly closing her eyes before turning around and catching both of her hands behind Alex. The brunette took one steady step. Mitchie took one as well. Alex took another step, Mitchie followed. Aware that everything is safe, Alex walked a normal, but steady, pace towards her destination. They walked a steady length, enough to make the Californian curious.
"Alex, where are we going?"
She felt the girl before her shift until she's only holding one hand, with her palm down and Alex's palm up. She guessed that Alex was now facing her.
"Just a few more. Watch your step, the floor is steeping up," Her voice was close to Mitchie's face. She then made sure to be aware where she was walking into. It felt like they were going up somewhere. But where?
"Okay, now stop." She stopped.
Alex motioned her to face a certain direction, before letting go. The darker haired teen frowned, but it was taken away when she felt slim arms wrap around her waist and a chin resting on her right shoulder.
"Open your eyes, Mitch." Mitchie shivered, not just from the cool night air, but as well as from Alex's closeness.
She slowly open her eyes, blinking furiously as her vision tried its best to focus. When all became clear, she couldn't help but gasp. The sight before her was amazing. They were on a bridge that ran above a huge lake. She could see the peaks of buildings meet the skyline. City lights illuminated the whole lake scenery. The lake itself was breathtaking. The water rippled calmly under the wind. Mitchie giggled when she saw a line of ducks paddling their way on the surface.
"Alex, where is this place? It's so pretty!"
The brunette chuckled, "Mitch, how could you not know where we are right now. It's like saying you don't know what the Statue of Liberty is."
Mitchie pouted, "Well, that place is practically a national landmark! You can't use that to compare."
The rebel snorted and took a step back at stared at Mitchie in disbelief, "Mitch, if Statue of Liberty is a landmark. Then how could this not be one too? Come on, think."
The singer faced the scenery again, contemplating. She stared at awe as the water reflected the city; its soft ripples disfiguring the image, yet still possessing beauty. She could see the trees cluster together along the perimeter of the landscape. Where could you find something to natural in New York? Those could usually be seen on the outskirts of New York City where the slightly underdeveloped cities stand. But this place looked as if it was at the heart of New York, the center of it all. The center. Her mouth formed an 'O' and blushed at her obliviousness. They were in Central Park.
Mitchie could hear the other teen giggle at her realization making her face flushed only to make Alex laugh even louder. By that time, the singer's cheeks burned from embarrassment. Alex watched her, smiling at how cute she looked like. She couldn't restrain herself but kiss Mitchie on the cheek. It's safe to say that both of them enjoyed that. The New Yorker hummed in thought, before notifying that she'll be back in a few seconds.
When Alex's figure disappeared from sight, Mitchie shivered. She missed her already, but fortunately, true to her words, Alex came back in a matter of seconds.
"Hey Mitch, come over here. I want to show you something," she yelled from the end of the bridge and then walked under it. Mitchie followed, curious as ever.
When she got there, she was surprised to see a rowboat stationed on the edge of the land.
The younger teen pointed at the "How did you get that?"
Alex stared at the boat and then at her and shrugged, "Um, magic? But whatever, come on in, we're riding it!" She climbed into it and brought a hand for Mitchie, which she took.
The paddles moved against the water in a swift matter, and they were motion. The view was even better on the lake. Mitchie glanced at Alex as she rowed the boat, smiling when Alex glanced at her as well.
"You know when I think of boats and lakes," Alex starts, "I think of the swan lake scene from the Notebook."
"Oh wow, trying to re-enact the scene, Lex? How much more romantic can you get?" Mitchie smirked.
Alex stopped paddling and stared at her sincerely, "I'm not re-enacting the scene. This is so much better than that. You're in it."
The star's heart fluttered. She fumbled to let out words, but couldn't find her voice to. She ended up just fumbling with her fingers on her lap, not returning the brunette's gaze. Tension grew. Mitchie felt something gnawing at her heart when, through her bangs, she saw Alex's face darken. She could've sworn a incoherent mumble of 'sorry' come from the brunette. It didn't make her feel any better. She just didn't know what to do.
Mitchie glanced up when the rebellious teen cleared her throat, "I think it's getting late. We should head back." It wasn't even a minute when the boat bumped up against the shore under the bridge.
They sat there in silence, each hoping the other would get up first. Alex sighed. She decided to get up first, climbing out without a word. Mitchie didn't want that.
"Alex, wait!"
She tried to catch up to the brunette but yelped when her foot slipped from the wet mud. She shut her eyes, awaiting for the painful impact that will soon follow. It never came. Instead of the hard, cold ground that she expected, Mitchie felt something soft, warm envelope her into a hug. She glanced up to see soft, brown eyes staring back at her with raw emotion.
"Clumsy girl," her voice tuned down to a whisper.
"A-Alex?" She was damn stuttering again.
Alex steadied the teen in her arms before pressing forward, "Yeah?"
"I'm sorry..." Mitchie could've sworn she had better speech skills than this.
The rebel took another pursuing step with Mitchie unknowingly taking a step back, "Sorry for...what exactly?"
Mitchie's heart raced, "For not saying anything. I just didn't know what to say. It was sweet. You're sweet. And I-" She let out a frustrated sigh when she realized she was rambling. When she opened her eyes, Alex seemed to be closer than just a few seconds ago.
The taller teen tilted her head, "What were you trying to say, Mitch?" She smirked, obviously amused.
Mitchie tried again, "I-I don't know what I'm feeling. When I'm with you, I get this feeling. I'm not sure what it is. I just... It's pretty confusing."
Alex placed her hands beside Mitchie's head, one on each side, against the bridge wall. Wait, when was there a wall behind me? When did it get so hot? When did my heart beat faster? She gazed at Alex. When did Alex look so extremely close and sexy right now?
The singer tried to push a forming lump in her throat when her back was pressed against the bricks as Alex's body molded against her front. She tried to bit back a moan at the feeling of the body in close contact once more. She involuntarily closed her eyes so she could just feel. Feel the brunette's hot breath against her own lips. So close...
"So what are we going to do about it?" It was so close, just one twitch could bring their lips together.
"I," Mitchie trembled when just uttering words made her lips brush against Alex's, "I don't kiss on first dates."
The wizard snorted, "Well I was never really good at following rules anways."
That was enough for Mitchie. Whatever nonexistent space between them was truly nonexistent now. Mitchie felt her eyes roll back in bliss under shut eyes with the feel of lips finally caressing her own. It felt like kissing rose petals; a soft, sweet first kiss. The hands that once grasped on the wall were now placed on her, one on her cheek and another holding their hands together. Air started to become a need for the both of them causing them to separate.
The singer had only a few chance to recatch her breath before lips crashed against hers in urgency. It lost all of its sweetness. The kiss filled with need. Mitchie felt her knees buckle when she felt Alex's slick tongue run along her bottom lip begging for entrance. She gave it to her.
The best way to describe it was that Mitchie Torres was in an absolute state of Euphoria. There was no way it could get better. She spoke too soon.
A frustrated groan left her lips when their contact was no more, before trembling when hot lips attached on her neck, sucking like Edward fucking Cullen. Mitchie didn't even brain function to register the hands on her hips. She gasped when she felt Alex playfully nip at her neck, moaning when she was reminded of their first day together.
"A-Alex," her inability to speak was caused by warm, roaming hands now on her stomach. "Oh my god."
She didn't bother to try again, instead burying her fingers into Alex's soft curls. Mitchie slightly ran her nails on the brunette's scalp as Alex left love bites on her jugular vein. The wizard moaned at the ministration. Mitchie tried to bite back a groan just from hearing those gorgeous sounds emit from the rebel's lips. It's so god damn sexy.
"Alex?" It was just but a soft mumble.
The teen continued to suck on the nape of Mitchie's neck. Yes, she loved it but if she had another hickey again, Caitie would NEVER let it go. Oh my god, are those her hands under my shirt?
"Alex!"
The young wizard snapped out of trance, jumping back in surprise, her hands shying away from Mitchie's body. Mitchie's body felt neglected already.
"I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Oh my god, so sorry," the rebel repeatedly apologized thinking she went too far.
Mitchie shook her head and pecked the lips of the rambling teen to shut her up. She stayed silent immediately. The singer hugged Alex close to her before bring her lips against the rebel's once more. Alex moaned in surprise until she regained control and gently pushed the shorter girl against the the wall once more, relishing the contact between them. The wizard loved the sounds Mitchie made whenever she did this or that. It was purely music to her ears. She instinctively moved to attack Mitchie's neck again only to be stopped again.
"Mitch, what now!"
"You're not going to give me a massive hickey on my neck. Hands under my shirt is okay, but hickey on the neck is a no-no," Mitchie said a matter-a-factly.
Alex was appalled, "W-What! You can't do that! I love your neck," she glanced down and an idea manifested. "Mitch, how often do you wear tops that go that low down you chest?"
"Never. Why are you smiling lik-" She got her answer when something warm and wet ran along her shirt line. Oh.
She sighed as Alex continued her magic. Mitchie decided to play around a little bit and let her hands explore. She dropped her arms down and dragged her palms along Alex's side, recieving a moan in approval from the older teen. She then rested it on her hips. She noticed the how the brunette's shirt rode up a little, exposing skin to Mitchie. She felt the desire to touch it and she didn't restrain that need.
"Mmmm," came from her lips as Alex nipped a little bit harder when Mitchie's hand traveled up her stomach. She could feel the skin shiver violently under her touch. Alex bucked hips forward involuntarily, eager from Mitchie's exploration. The singer gasped when she felt hips slammed against hers. She instinctively rock her hips back making them both moan as white hot flash of pleasure coursed through their bodies building at the bottom of the stomachs.
"Alex."
Alex brought her attention to Mitchie's lips now, murmuring softly against it, "Yes?"
The rockstar tried to calm herself down as best as she can, "I think we should get home." She pointed out the complete darkness that now swallowed Central Park.
"Do-" Peck. "We-" Peck. "Have to?" Alex finished with a longer kiss.
Mitchie giggled at the brunette's complaint, "Yes we have to. Now down girl. Keep your lips to yourselves."
The wizard pouted, "One more and we'll go."
Mitchie rolled her eyes and leaned forward, intending it to be short, only to be caught up into another deep kiss. She moaned and struggled to break it, but it felt so good. She nipped at Alex's bottom lip, emitting a contentful sigh from the rebel, before finding the will power to separate.
"There. Now let's go," she turned before she was sucked into Alex's sex mojo again.
Alex watched at Mitchie's retreating form certainly enjoying the view she had. She ran her tongue long her bruised lips before chuckling to herself. She had Mitchie's lipgloss on her. She shook her head, not that surprised, before running to catch up to the star.
It tasted like strawberries.

Here's another chapter. You know, I'm starting to think you guys are just waiting for some REAL action since chapter four got 13 reviews, while the long chapter five only got 6 reviews. That's why I wrote this chapter. Not too graphic, but just enough to satisfy you guys (: Trust me, you'll get Rated M soon. You know what I think is funny? I sometimes create typos by typing out "Demi" or "Selena" on accident. I hope I'm not the only one. By the way, I realized while I was writing that empty streets in New York is impossible unless it's a really deserted, and crappy area where kids should never run through...but go along with it. New York has finally slept! Oh and I think I accidently wrote similar scene from another Demena fanfic, sorry fellow writer, but I remember I loved your date scene chapter!! -a few minutes later- I took the liberty to look it up to give credits to Mangoliner for writing "Love Story: Chapter 4" Seriously, you MUST update soon. (:
Random Fact: I wish I can watch Demi Lovato live so I can be there in person while she makes those "Don't Forget" speeches at every show ):
Another random, but terryfying fact: I almost deleted this chapter when it was almost finished because I accidently clicked "remove." I know right? My heart literally jump. PHEEW.
By the way, "Mario Kart Love Song" by Sam Hart. I shortened the song here because I didn't want to drag it on. Check it out for the full version (:
Sorry for the delayed update again. I'm stressing over schoolwork right now AND my laptop broke so I have limited use on my parent's laptop. But make sure to review, I always love seeing review alerts when I check my email. But review, this chapter is way beyond longer than I expected. No, I take that back. This chapter is FUCKING LONG. It's a treat (also a way so I can get 10+ reviews). GOAL: More then 10+ reviews!! Think you can do that? GO GO GO! I'd love to be spoiled :D P.S: Dawn8808 hasn't reviewed yet! -dramatic sob-
