So, hopefully you guys enjoy this update. I warned ya'll, I was going to be extremely busy. Which makes me incredibly tired, which makes me bitchy. So I'm really trying to not let it soak through into my writing, but I can only help that so much.
This chapter and I'm thinking the next one also will be more of filler chapters and complete Nitchie fluff, just a heads up.
Oh and by the way, this chapter is dedicated to the amazing LittleRedOne, aka, Kelly. She's been really awesome to me, listening to me ranting on stuff and she never complains, plus she's got the most amazing stories ever – check them out! So here's to you Kelly! I tried to put as much total Nitchie in it as I could for you, haha.
Well, enjoy everyone!

-1 week later-
"Nate! Give me my phone!" I giggled, standing on my tiptoes in vain, trying to reach the object that Nate was currently holding way above my 5"2 stature. It was Friday evening, and Nate and I were down by the lake, standing on the dock.
"Don't think so." His lop-sided little smile came out again. I jumped lamely in the air again, trying to grab it and he easily dodged my hand.
"Whyyy." I wined, pouting. He laughed lightly, still holding it out of my reach.
"That's not going to work Mitchie. And you're not getting it back because I want to spend time with you. Not you and our phones. Just you." He said, touching my chin lightly. I frowned, narrowing my eyes.
"Nathaniel, give me my phone." I lowered my voice to a dangerous level. His eyes widened briefly, but he quickly shook that off.
"Uh-uh." He said, hiding a grin. I sighed, brushing a piece of my bang out of my eye. His hand still held the phone up high, and I leaped again, missing it by only and inch. A light bulb soon clicked on in my head, and I poked his armpit, wiggling my finger a bit, using my other hand to tickle his stomach. He laughed loud, shaking his head.
"Not gonna work babe, I'm not ticklish." He said and I about died. What! No, that wasn't possible. I sighed again, putting a hand on my hip. Well, a girls gotta do what girls gotta do. I quickly closed the gap between us, pulling the collar of the plaid shirt he had on, and crashed my lips into his.
He didn't respond at first, but I soon felt his arms start to loosen up as they wound themselves around my waist. I smiled, wrapping my arms around his neck and standing on my tiptoes, deepening the kiss. I heard him moan and I laughed evilly inside. Before I let him make any attempts to satisfy the solution to his moans, I quickly pulled back and snatched the phone out of his hand, running off the dock and back into the woods again.
"Mitchie!" I heard him whine, and I laughed, stopping and turning around.
"Nate." I whined back. He stopped his progression, and I looked seductively at him from the 5 or so feet away from each other we were.
"Mitchie, get you pretty little butt over here." He said huskily as he slowly started to walk towards me, I followed as I started walking backwards.
"Or what, Nate? Hm?" I asked, biting my lip and raising an eyebrow as we both continued to walk slowly.
"I'll make you my love slave." His deep voice sent shivers down my spine. I smiled seductively.
"Gotta catch me first." I said, giggling lightly before turning and running away from him. I laughed to myself as I heard his distinct footsteps running after me. I picked up my pace, knowing he'd reach me any minute, but loving the feeling of what teasing him gave me.
I was right because as soon as I reached the big boulder, indicating we were halfway back to camp, I felt his strong arms wrap around me from behind. I squealed, laughing.
"No! I don't want to be a love slave! You'll lock me up forever!" I said dramatically, laughing as he spun me around, and then set me down again. He turned me around gently, and that's when I saw just how much lust and passion were in his eyes. He smiled crookedly, as he started backing me up, and I immediately felt my back come up against the smooth coolness of the big boulder.
"Like you wouldn't love it." He whispered in my ear, biting it gently. I gasped, knowing the feelings we both were about to confront were going to be like nothing we'd ever experienced. I'd never seen so much passion and eagerness and…love in someone's eyes before.
"I wouldn't." My lie cracked easily by the stare he had set on me. He smirked, as if knowing something I didn't.
"Just promise me you'll let my parents know how much I love them!" I said dramatically, making both of us laugh lightly as he settled one of his arms over my head.
"I will." He whispered, and he then settled his lips over mine. I moaned into the kiss, tangling my fingers in his all too amazing hair. His other hand found its way onto my waist, and he depended the kiss even more by standing as close to me as he could, making my back press into the rock. Like I cared.
I bit his lip hungrily, as I silently asked for entrance. He didn't resist. As we both battled each other, both of his hands found their way to the sensitive skin right under my shirt, and I gasped in pleasure. Everything I was feeling, all the emotions pulsing through my veins, everything just felt so good – so right.
I softly ran my fingers over his strong chest, and then down his arms, and back up to his neck again. I gently stroked the soft skin there before breaking our now very heated kiss and letting my lips trail down to his jaw, kissing his warm skin all over.
I couldn't get enough of him.
As my lips trailed down further, I finally found his sweet spot as I felt him shiver lightly, moaning.
"Mitchie…" He sounded so out of breath, so raspy, so…sexy. I smiled, letting my tongue tease that spot, knowing how crazy it would make him. I was right. He soon pulled away, looking disheveled and messy. The look couldn't have fit him better. Expecting him to start kissing me again, I gasped as his lips connected with my exposed neck. I closed my eyes in pleasure, letting my fingers loose themselves in his hair again.
His strong hands ran down my sides, quickly finding their way to the place right under my butt. I felt him easily lift me up as I wrapped my legs around his waist, the rock still supporting us. He never missed a beat as he went back to kissing my neck, his hands stroking my thighs. I felt like my eyes were gonna roll back into my brain.
Was it supposed to feel this good?
God I didn't care, especially after his lips landed on the base of my neck, where it connected with my collarbone. He bit the skin there lightly, kissing and gently sucking as he made his way down to where my tank top started. Between his hands on my legs, and his lips on my sensitive area, a groaned soon escaped my lips.
"Oh, Nate…" I moaned out, and I could feel his smile against my skin. He knew just how to make me weak, and you know what? I didn't care. I loved it.
"Oh baby, say my name again." He whispered, kissing his way back up to my neck.
"Nate…Nate…oh, Nate…" I gasped at all the sensations running through me. How come I'd never felt this way with Shane before? Why didn't it ever feel so good? Was it because I truly loved Nate?
His lips were on mine again, and I couldn't have been happier. I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck again as our kiss quickly became heated. His thumbs gently rubbed circles on the skin underneath of my shirt and I loved it.
As his fingers started to trail just a bit higher, the intercom system back at camp noisily screeched on. We both groaned, breaking our kiss.
"All campers back to your designated cabins please. Head count will be in 10 minutes." We heard Brown's wife's cheery voice say over the speakers and we both groaned again.
I slowly look up into his eyes and laughed as he rolled them.
"Just when it starts to get good, right?" I asked teasingly. He smiled.
"It's always good with you." I blushed, looking away. I felt his finger turn my head back to his.
"Don't be embarrassed. It's true." He whispered, and I blushed again, but I didn't look away this time. We just continued to look into each others eyes before I felt my self start to slip a little.
"Better let me down…" I said semi-awkwardly, laughing a bit. He laughed too, as he slowly let my legs drop back to the ground, his arms securely around my waist.
"Thanks." I whispered, biting my lip. He smiled, kissing me lightly. As both of our legs straightened out, I felt something pressing against my upper thigh, and I furrowed my eyebrows, looking down, and that's when I saw…it.
I didn't know whether to laugh or be slightly scared at the rock hard bulge in his pants. But as I stared, I found the situation really funny and I started giggling, which turned into a full-on laugh. Nate looked at me confused before looking down at the source of what caused me to laugh, and his head snapped right back up, blushing like crazy. I laughed harder.
"It's good to know yours works, baby." I giggled, earning a deeper blush and a hard glare from Nate. I laughed again, standing up to kiss his cheek softly. I had to say it.
"It's your fault." He spat out, still blushing and glaring. I laughed, kissing him on the lips quickly before slipping out from his grasp and picking up my almost forgotten phone and starting to walk in the direction of camp.
"I'm just teasing, Nate. Besides, it's good to know I can do that, were gonna need it someday." I laughed out, stopping and turning briefly to look back and see his blush spread to his nose and ears, making him look utterly cute. He soon gave me a hard glare, still blushing, as he started running towards me.
I squealed, giggling as I turned and started running…again.

-Next Afternoon-
"Ew! That is so nasty! Ew! Why'd you have to tell me that, now I'll never think of Nate in the same way again!" Cate's disgusted face made me start giggling as I finally ended the story of what Nate's…lower parts did yesterday. She playfully slapped me again as she made gagging noises and fell over on the bed we were both sitting on. I started laughing harder, watching her act in her over dramatic way.
"It's true though! I didn't know whether to laugh or be mortified! That never happened with Shane before!" I said, shivering a little myself. In the past couple of weeks, I've found it easier and easier to talk about Shane. Granted, the hurt was still there, but it wasn't because of us not being together anymore, it was more because of the way he ended and then left. It still peeved me to no end that nobody knew where he was. He was such a coward.
"Oh come on! I'd always find you guys making out!" Cate said, gagging again. I laughed.
"Hunny, Shane was always turned on, and it didn't take me to do that." I said bitterly, remembering times where I'd catch him staring at another girl, hungriness burning in his eyes. Asshole.
After last night, I laid in my bed wide awake, thinking about why I never felt so loved with Shane as I did with Nate, and I think it finally hit me. Most every time Shane and I would get into it, all I could see was lust and hungriness, never love. That's what made Nate so different from Shane. I could always see the love in Nate's eyes – always. Shane only showed it when it was convenient for him.
"Oh well, at least he's done and over with. Don't need to worry about his shit anymore." Cate said, stretching out on the bed. I smiled. Yeah.
I followed suit, laying down and stretching out. As she asked me a question in her normal Cate way, making us both start to laugh, Nate and Jason busted through the door, causing us both to sit up startled.
"Oh good, you both are in here." Nate said, relieved. I sat in confusion. Huh?
"Of course where both in here Nate the Great and why do you look like you're gonna drop over, clutching your chest at any minute?" Cate asked sarcastically. Nate, who would normally roll his eyes, just walked towards the bed, throwing a magazine down by me. I looked up at him confused.
"That's why." He said, in a low voice. I looked over at Cate, who shrugged as I slowly picked up the article and turned it over, gasping as I read the headlines.
SMITCHIE IS OVER
SHANE GREY – FINALLY SINGLE
There was a big picture of us at a red carpet event earlier this year with a big line through it, and then next to it was a recent picture of Shane, and a picture of me…at camp?
I looked up at Nate, mortified. Cate looked over my shoulder, gasping.
"How…I mean why did…I-I don't…" But I couldn't form anything enough to get it out of my mouth. How did they find out? How did they get this picture of me?
"I don't know how they found out, or who told them but all we know is that the Camp is crawling with paps, and our manager has been calling every freaking minute, asking what the hell is going on. Apparently, he didn't even know about Shane leaving camp." Nate said, breathing heavily, I could tell he was really upset. I just sat in total disbelief. I had just finally got my life back together and now this? The media is going to tear my life apart, especially when they find out about me and Nate. I felt a pair of arms wrap around my shoulders, and looked over slowly, seeing Jason's troubled face.
"I feel so bad, Mitchie! Anything you need, you come to me and I'll get it. I promise. Anything at all. You come to your uncle Jason." He said, hugging me again. I laughed a little, nodding. I was just so confused.
"I just…where did they get this picture of Shane? It looks so recent. And how did they get this picture of me? This is just from like, two days ago. And…who told them?" I asked, all in one big breath, still staring at the cover. I looked up at everyone, and they all just shrugged looking so confused. Cate was the first one to speak up.
"Well obviously, Shane isn't trying to be so inconspicuous anymore, and if the media caught hold of this, they could have easily gotten pictures of you walking around camp, and as to who told everyone, I'll give you one guess." She said, looking at all of us pointedly. I furrowed my eyebrows. Who was she talking about? The only people who knew where here at camp, and I was friends with everyone, no one would…oh my god. I snapped my eyes up to meet Nate's.
"Sarah." We said in unison.
"Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!" Cate said sarcastically. I just slumped more. How could she? I mean, I knew she was not the nicest person and all, but she knew Shane and I were over, why try to make anymore waves?
"God, that girl. I can't believe she did that." Nate said, pulling his hair as he started to pace. I shook my head, sliding off of the bed.
"We don't know it was her for sure, heck, maybe nobody told them! If they saw Shane in LA when he's supposed to be here, you know everyone would have jumped on a chance to find out why, so let's not point fingers when we can't be sure." I said, of course being the most sensible one of the group. Everyone grumbled out there responses causing me to roll my eyes.
"Well it doesn't really matter who told them I guess, it just matters that they know. So, what do I do?" I asked, shielding my eyes with my hand as I stood there and thought.
"Well, I can tell you what you're not going to do, you're not going to be leaving this cabin until a proper team of security gets out here to secure the perimeter, and that's an order from Brown." Nate said, his hands on his hips. I look up at him pleadingly.
"Not leave my cabin! Nate! I'll go crazy! I don't want-" But he cut me off by wrapping his arms around my waist.
"There were flashes everywhere as me and Jason walked over here, imagine when they spot you. You'll get pummeled. And I'm not going to let that happen so you are going to stay in here until we get all of these pests out of the camp grounds." He said with determination. I sighed, groaning.
"Great! Just perfect! And what do you expect me to do until the 'perimeter is secured'" I mocked him as I rolled my eyes.
"You build birdhouses with me, silly!" Jason piped in, acting like it was the most obvious answer to the question. We all looked at him in disbelief.
"What? I thought it would be nice if we could build birdhouses together." He said, nodding his head.
"And how exactly, are you going to be able to do that…in a cabin?" Cate asked him, sweeping her arm around the room for emphasis. His face fell into confusion and after a second of thought, he held his finger up as if a light bulb went off in his head.
"I know! I'll go get my portable-birdhouse kit! Oo! And I'll need my toolbox!" He said, scurrying out the door, excitement beaming off of him. Nate tried to grab him before he left, but once Jay sets his sight on something dealing his birds, he's gone. We all looked at each other, confused to what had happened.
"Jay has a toolbox?" I asked, looking at Nate. He held up his hands as his eyebrows shot up.
"I…I don't even know." He said. A small laugh escaped my lips before everything went silent as Nate once again wrapped his arms around me making things somewhat awkward. I looked over at Cate, silently pleading for her to go somewhere; I really wanted to talk to Nate…alone. Thank god she got the message because after pursing her lips and taking in a deep breath, she got up off the bed.
"Okay…you know what? I'm…I'm gonna go, like…make sure Jason hasn't hurt anybody. Talk to ya later." She waved, and walked out of the cabin. I sighed, finally looking up at Nate, but what I saw wasn't what I expected. I saw uncertainty. I looked up at him confused before talking.
"Nate, babe what's wrong?" I asked, rubbing little circles on his upper arm. He closed his eyes, shaking his head lightly.
"Nothing, I'm fine, really." He said, his eyes darting everywhere, never looking at me. I rolled my eyes.
"Nate, something's wrong, I can tell. What is it? If you're afraid I'll do something stupid and leave my cabin, I won't. I'm not dumb, I now how the media works. Is that why you're not looking at me? Is that what's wrong?" I asked, touching his cheek lightly. He leaned onto my hand, closing his eyes before dropping his hold on my waist and turning around, starting to pace. I stood there, still very much confused.
"No, that's not it. I just…Mitchie if and when Shane comes back, what's going to happen? What's going to happen when they find out about us? I could honestly careless about the bands reputation; our fans are used to bad publicity. But what about you? So many things are going to be said, I don't want you to get hurt, baby." He said softly, his chocolate eyes boring into mine. I gulped, sniffling a bit.
"I don't know, Nate." I said, looking down before continuing "but I don't want you to work yourself up about it. Am I worried about the press? Yeah, a little. But I know how to deal with them. Nate for the past year I've lived under scrutiny and I've had everything in the book thrown at me because of dating Shane. I can handle it. I can. As long as you're with me, I'll be okay Nate. As long as you're with me, baby…" I trailed off, my eyes glistening as I reached up and kissed him softly. I pulled away, seeing him smiling down at me.
"I'll always be with you sweetheart. I promise. I won't leave you. And you're right. Anything they throw at us, we can handle, together. God, I love you Mitchie." He said, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. I smiled up at him, but I still saw something behind his eyes, and it scared me. I didn't know what it was, I couldn't figure it out. Something wasn't right.
"Nate…you're not telling me something. Baby, what is it? Please tell me." I begged, holding onto his arms. He gave me a slightly confused look before speaking.
"Mitchie…it's nothing. I just-" But I stepped back a bit, staring up at him.
"No Nate, don't tell me that. Something's wrong, and I want to know what it is. Don't you trust me?" I asked, somewhat hurt. The last thing I wanted was for him not to trust me. He pulled me back to him.
"Mitchie, of course I trust you. It's just…I know you're not over Shane, and I completely understand that. I do. It's just that when he comes back-" I cut him off, stepping out of his grasp.
"You think I'll go back to him. You think I still love him." I said, laughing bitterly in disbelief. He nodded, looking away.
"Nate, first of all. Shane and I are over. We're over. Bottom line. Second, I may still love him, but I'm in love with you. How could you even think I'd want to go back to him?" My voiced raised high before my eyes went wide and I covered my mouth with my hand. I did not just let that slip out. Nate's head snapped up, his eyes wide.
"What did you say?" He asked in disbelief. I lowered my hand, my mouth gaping. I still hadn't told Nate I loved him, because I wanted to make sure there were no doubts. I wanted to know in my heart that he was the one before blabbing out things that might hurt us both. But I knew I couldn't take back what I just said, and I was glad.
Nate was the one. He was the one who gave me butterflies, he was the one who'd never let me fall, he was the one I love.
I closed my mouth, slowly letting it turn into a smile.
"I said…I'm in love with you." I said, beaming happily as I ran into his waiting arms, kissing him. He pulled away, his face absolutely beaming.
"I've wanted you to say that for so long, baby. God, say it again." He smiled, kissing my forehead. I giggled, wrapping my arms around his neck.
"I love you Nate Addison. I love you, I love you, I love you!" I said, smiling as I kissed his nose, his cheek and finally, his lips. He smiled, kissing my nose.
"Good, because I love you too."
