Worth The Risk
Chapter 25: All Worth The Risk
Mitchie's Point of View
It is now Friday the 30th of August and it was the afternoon. I just finished classes and got back to the apartment. Shane isn't done for another hour or so, around 3:00. A fare amount as happened in the last week and so I guess you want to be filled in so I will tell you I have personally loved every second of it and living with Shane again was amazing. I loved going to sleep in his arms and waking up in them. I really enjoyed this and knew in my heart neither of us would regret this. Anyways before I get way off topic I guess I will explain what happened the last week and what will be happening tonight which I am excited about. Anyways back to the past week.
The Saturday after we faces his parents was actually so worry free and fun it was so amazing. I loved it. We woke up around 6:30 that morning and got ready for the beach. We went to the cafe just down the street from the beach for a quick breakfast then we made to the beach. We got into our wet suits and gathered our boards. He commented on my new one then we headed out into the water catching the early morning surf and he was surprised how good I was. I commented on having to know to impress him. He thought that was quite amusing. After we surfed we stayed in the water splashing around a bit. We actually just sat on a surf board as the small waves took us up and down a little just talking. One point though we were actually both on my board laying down making-out. It was quite a weird sensation. However his arms around me making out with me on a surf board, something I never imagines was amazing definitely heated until we kind of rolled and both feel of into the water which was freezing after making out in the sun but it was all good as we both dissolved into laughter, forgetting how much fun it was being together, just me and him.
After we fell into the water we had decided to go back to the beach so we did. It was supposed to be a rather hot day and since it would be slightly crowded we had borrowed a big umbrella for some shade, and well slightly privacy. We laid our towel behind it and just lay in the sun out of wetsuits drying off. Unfortunately after about an hour of making out, taking pictures and rolling around a little in the sand we had to go back in the water to wash ourselves off, although since the sun was high now we didn't lay down we just started collecting our things and we had other plans for the afternoon.
When we got back to the apartment that day we just cleaned up and got ready for the afternoon. We made some lunch at the apartment just some simple sandwiches and fruit, I was surprised we were eating so healthy but it was good, I liked that we both watch what we eat but we both tend to splurge every once in a while. Anyways after lunch we went to a furniture store looking for a few more accessories and such we would need for the apartment. We always went to Bed, Bath and Beyond for Sheets, towels, dishes and stuff like that which we found what we needed. I also went to a photo centre and printed pictures I have taken of us. There wasn't many but there was good ones, which would match the frames for around the apartment.
Anyways the day was rather successful. We had got two bedside tables that matched our bed. We got a few more lamps to brighten up the place. We had got a coffee table set for the living room. We got a couple of colour themes for the bathroom so we could have clean towels if we ever had guests over or something. We bought a shelf for the laundry room to fold clothes on and such. We had also stopped by an electronics store and Shane finally let me pay for something when I bought a Wii for us. Sure it might sound childish but really I love video games and so does he so to me it was a necessity and I needed to pay for something, so I did.
Anyways after we did that we just came back for the night. We washed some of the towels and extra sheets we have got. Oh I forgot to mention we got a fold out couch for the other room where we have our music stuff and desk in case we had someone over for the night or something. Anyways that night we watched a movie after doing some things around the apartment and then just fell asleep again in each other's arms. It was the second night and I still could not get enough of his arms around me, it was pure peace and I loved it. I was nervous for Sunday because of parents but it disappeared in his arms, he makes me so at ease.
Sunday was a rather good day. We hung around the apartment setting something up just lounging around in our pyjamas for a good portion of the day until we had to go to the airport to get my parents. They were staying in a hotel, since we don't have a pull-out yet and well just because it is better. Anyways we went and picked them up and they were really happy to me for the next 5 minutes I could barely breathe as they smothered me in hugs. When I could finally breathe I introduced them to Shane and he shook hands with them politely and suggested we drop them off at the hotel then meet them for dinner in about an hour so they could get settles in so they agreed thankfully. I also think Shane wanted to mentally prepare himself for this and that thought made me smile and giggle at him as he just smiled back. Have I told you I love this man yet? Well I love him so much.
Dinner with my parents went actually surprisingly well. My parents have only really met one of my boyfriends when I was 16 and it was a disaster so I was nervous but there was no reason to be it went really smooth. Shane was himself which I was really happy about he had no reason to be anyone else. He wasn't the cloned polite rich Shane he was just Shane, the one I am in love with. Anyways my parents seemed impressed and thankfully they didn't ask too many questions just the basics. It was good and the dinner itself was. After we finished my parents said that they thought I chose right and that they accepted what I had chosen. I would've done it anyways but it was nice to have two of our parents accept it. Anyways we dropped them back off at the hotel since there were tired then tired ourselves me and Shane made our way back to our own apartment and went to bed. We were seeing my parents again on Monday and I was happy it was working out seemed like everything was falling into place. Like I said earlier this weeks went by with good outcomes.
Monday came and went by fast but it was definitely fun. My parents wanted to see the beach and how I learned to surf so we decided to drive down to the beach and show them. It was totally fun my dad even tried but let's just say he isn't well balanced. That though definitely makes me laugh. Shane and I didn't really get to kiss like we used to at the beach but all the same it was fun. We had a picnic lunch on the beach that Shane packed for us, I never knew he was such a good cook but it was true, even better. Around 3:30 we decided we had enough and my parents decided to come back to the apartment to see it and help us if we needed help. The new furniture was coming that night so they were helping with that. The night was fun. We ate dinner that for some reason my mom decided to make well dad. Shane and I worked on the furniture well placing it where we desired it. Surprisingly after they suggested we play games, which I don't think they ever wanted to before but we did and it was so much fun. It was me and mom vs. Shane and my dad, unfortunately they won, but mom and I had held our own. After the games they decided to go back to the hotel for the night. Shane and I offered to drive them but they said they would take a cab. I was insistent but my mom said it was fine so I walked them out as Shane started cleaning. My mom kept saying she didn't want them to drive so we could have alone time she kept winking it was rather disturbing. But she was my mom and glad she kind of understands. What she doesn't understand is that Shane and I hadn't exactly been intimate in the way of making love yet, maybe one day, well I hope. I just went all tingly thinking about it, anyways let's move on.
The rest of the week was pretty good. My parents went home but they came back just for tonight which is Friday but I will get to that in a few minutes. Tuesday was fine. It was orientation for the ones you weren't her last Thursday so we didn't go but we did go into the school. We figured out our schedules and where we could meet since he was on his third year I was on my second. It helped that we were both singers though. We got some books we needed and just some school supplies from the book store. We both were back at home around 1:30 when Shane came up with an amazing idea. Even though we had school tomorrow we decided to go surfing so we got our things and headed to the beach.
We stayed at the beach until we didn't really surf a lot maybe an hour or two. We actually made out on the sand for a long time. I don't know why but we are really attracted to each other with his good. I love his hands along his body even when I have a bikini on. I mean yeah he can't touch certain spots but it still sends shocks through my body. I love tracing every line of his chest and well Tuesday night was fun. Nothing ever went past that really and I was okay with that. I mean we had when he stayed here this weekend, but hey we had all year.
The rest of the week was school and I rather not bore you with all the details it just evolved classes, Shane, Homework and some minor make out sessions. Anyways I am skipping that because I was so excited for tonight and I cannot wait to tell you why. You all want to know? Okay I will tell you I can't hide it anymore.
So tonight is Friday and that is very exciting for the first Friday of the school year we have this talent show. We just sign up and are allowed to sing what we choose. Anyway we are allowed to invite family and friends. Anyway that's why parents are coming to see me sing. I have a surprise for Shane and at first I thought he might be mad but I know he won't. I convinced Allison to come and convince Anna and Paul you finally agreed since the kids begged to come and watch so they were coming, and they had to stay for all of it especially the last song.
I was singing to solo songs. The song I had been working on at the house and another one I had finished recently and I was singing it for Shane. I hope he liked it. Anyways Shane informed me he was singing one solo as well. Of course he wouldn't show me before hand but it didn't matter. The final song though we actually get to sing together in a duet we had written. We didn't get expected to be last but we were the only duet and they decided to put it last so I was so excited for that. It is a beautiful song and I hope his parents can see the chemistry between us through the song. Anyways Shane just arrived back from school so we have to start to get ready.
Shane's Point of View
It is now 7:00 and Mitchie and I are about to leave for the talent show. I was deciding to drive since it was going to be dark when we got home plus it was faster so we won't be late. I was dressed in a pair of white skinny jeans a signature of mine when I performed. I felt comfortable in then. I was wearing a green t-shirt and a leather jacket as well. My hair was straightened as well and yeah. I took Mitchie's hand as we headed down to the car. She was looking amazing as usual, who am I kidding? She could wear sweats and have make-up running down her face and she would look amazing. Anyways she was in a pair of black skinny to the knee shorts with white flip flops. She had a v cut tank top on that went just below her hips. God I love her curves. She had one two long silver chains that hung just below her chest. She had on make-up and a black headband pulling back her gorgeous curls and silver earring. She was so mine after the show.
Anyways we arrive around 7:10 and go along back stage to get ready. We met up with some friends of ours and started talking about the show. There was 20 minutes till it started. I went on around 8:15 for my solo and Mitchie was on about 8:30. I was excited for 9 where we would be doing our duet. We looked out to see if her parents where as they were which she smiled about. I was about to turn back when my eyes almost bugged out. There in the 5th row sat my mom, my dad. My brother and twins sisters were there as well with Allison and surprisingly they all had a smile on their face but I was confused
"Mitchie, what are my parents doing here" I said and I looked at her and knew she did it
"I'm sorry I just wanted them to see you are doing an amazing thing here with your talent. I also wanted them to see our chemistry on stage together and well Allison thought it would be okay" She said quietly
"It's okay" I said and hugged her "It might not change anything though"
"I know but it might. I just wanted to try. I know they don't want you out of their lives. I know you miss them too" She said and I had to smile at her
"Thank you and even if it doesn't changes thank you for trying"
"You're welcome" She said smiling kissing me softly.
The show then starts after I return the kiss. We sat together behind stage holding hands as we wait for our turns. I was exciting and secretly just as Mitchie wanted I was hoping my parents would realize I was just following my dreams and my heart and that they would finally accept it.
Soon enough it was my turn and I gave Mitchie a quick kiss for luck before I walked out to cheers from my support system and her family as I sat down on the stool holding the microphone in my hand. I look over winking Mitchie.
"So I will be singing one song tonight, fly with me" I said as I started singing my song. I really hoped Mitchie liked it, it was for her.
If time was still
The sun would never never find us
We could light up
The sky tonight
I would see the world through your eyes
Leave it all behind
If it's you and me forever
If it's you and me right now
That'd be alright
Be alright
We'll chase the stars to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won't you fly with me
Oh yeah
Gonna fly with me now
Now the past
Can come alive
And give it meaning
And a reason
To give all I can
To believe once again
If it's you and me forever
If it's you and me right now
That'd be alright
Be alright
We'll chase the stars to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won't you fly with me
Maybe you were just afraid
Knowing you were miles away
From the place where you needed to be
And that's right here with me
It's you and me forever
You and me right now
That'd be alright
We'll chase the stars to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won't you fly with me
If it's you and me forever
If it's you and me right now
I'd be alright
Be alright
We'll chase the stars to lose our shadow
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won't you fly
Fly
Fly with me
After I finished it was silent and then people were standing up and sharing and I looked to the side to see Mitchie clapping smiling loving at me. I turn to see my family all standing up with Allison and cheering. I hear my dad whistle. They never got to hear me sing before Manhattan was always too far away so I was just glad they got to hear me sing and use my talent.
"Thank you" I said into the Microphone then left over to the side hugging Mitchie and spinning her around
"That was amazing" She said smiling kissing me as I kiss her back
"Of course it was. Mw inspiration was amazing" He winks kissing me and she smiles well blushing.
"Thanks" She said hugging me as we sit back down waiting for her to take the stage.
I was excited to hear her songs. I loved her and wanted her to be amazing in what she loved to do, which personally I knew she was, and the professors probably did too. It was now it was her turn. With a quick kiss to her cheek she squeezed my hand and walked on stage standing at the stand with the microphone and set it up.
"My first song was written by me with a friends help this summer. It's called everything you're not" She said and as her track started playing the music, she started singing I loved her voice it was amazing and I got lost within it remembering the song.
I've been bruised and I've been broken
Can't believe that I put up with all this pain
I've been used and I was chocking on the promise
I would never fall again
mhm
I used to sing to your twisted symphony
The words that had me trapped inside your misery
But now I know
The reason why I couldn't breathe
'Cause all I want is everything you're not
So go ahead and slam the door
'Cause you can't shut me out
And no I don't, I don't care what you say
'Cause all I really, all I really want
Is everything you're not
Everything you're not not not
Your darkness was my weakness but it turns out
That it only went so deep
A meaningless diversion that is all that you
Ever meant to me
And I am done with your twisted symphony
The words that had me sound like stolen poetry
I tore the pages and I can finally breathe
'Cause all I want is everything you're not
So go ahead and slam the door
'Cause you can't shut me out
And no I don't, I don't care what you say
'Cause all I really, all I really want
Is everything you're not
I want a gentleman who treats me like a queen
I need respect, I need love
Nothing in between
I will not spell it out for you if you can't see
'Cause you're not worthy, you don't deserve me
A now I'm gone
Everything you're not, not, not
Everything you're not, not, not
'Cause all I want is everything you're not
So go ahead and slam the door
'Cause you can't shut me out
And no I don't, I don't care what you say
'Cause all I really, all I really want
Is everything you're not
Never gonna break my heart again
Never gonna see your face again
Never wanna feel this way again
She finished and looked at me seeing my huge smile. It was amazing she then removed the microphone and stood beside it.
"I am singing one more song I finished recently. It is about something I did this summer. I fell in love and this about it being okay to give into it. I am dedicating this to a special person in my life so this is for you. Catch me" She said as I beamed as she glances my way and her voice starting singing it was absolutely amazing. It was weird that the song was for me? I know I loved it even as the first line came from her lips.
Before I fall too fast
Kiss me quick, but make it last
So I can see how badly this will hurt me
When you say goodbye
Keep it sweet, keep it slow
Let the future pass, but don't let go
But tonight I could fall to sleep
To this beautiful moonlight
But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unravelling
And your love is where I'm falling
So please don't catch me
See this heart won't settle down
Like a child running scared from a clown
I'm terrified of what you'll do
My stomach screams just when I look at you
Now fly away so I can breathe
Even though your far from suffocating me
But I can't get my hopes to high
because every hello ends with a goodbye
But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unravelling
Your love is where I'm falling
So please don't catch me
Now you see why I'm scared
I can't open up my heart without a care
So here I go, it's what I feel
And for the first time in my life I know it's real
But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing
You've get me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unravelling
Your love is where I'm falling
So please don't catch me
If this is love please don't break me
I'm giving up, so just catch me
"Thank you" She said quietly and walked off as I hugged here looking out to see everyone clapping. My parents were cheering my dad whistling she was so amazing. I kissed her passionately.
"That was a beautiful song" I said hugging her tighter
"Thank you" She said quietly and we just stood there hugging each other as others sang for the time being.
Finally it was 9:00 and as the principal of the school comes out to announce us we separate as I go to the other side of the stage as we were walking onto set. She was announcing us since it was the last performance and to be honest I was almost excited.
"Alright, so give our students a hand for their performances" she called and everyone clapped "Well we have a certain duo that came to me with a request to sing a duet, which rarely happens so I was definitely saying yes. Anyway to perform that last number of the night Shane Gray and Mitchie Torres.
I smile seeing her at the far wing as she nodded. This was it and I hope my parents could see how being her was not a mistake. I loved her and this song would prove it. I started walking out as I snag first. Then she would walk out and we would join with our hands. So here went nothing. I started walking out as I started singing.
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought
"Hey, you know, this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing
So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes
The way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing
That maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
Yeah, yeah
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought, "Hey,"
maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking
I can't live without you
'Cause, baby, two is better than one
There's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
But I'll figure it out
When all is said and done
Two is better than one
Two is better than one
We finished holding hands so close together I could feel her breath upon my neck. We both smiled and looked out as everyone was up and cheering it was amazing my parents and smiles on their faced and it was crazy. After the show everyone was in this big hall type thing to see their loved one. Mitchie parents and came said hello congratulated us and left, they had a flight to catch at 6 in the morning. Next were my parents and they surprisingly hugged both of us as well as Allison and the kids, although Allison then left to put the kids in the car and to wait for my parents and I squeezed Mitchie's hand as I was almost scared.
"That was amazing sweetie" My mom said hugging me and I didn't really have a choice but to hug back
"Good job son I didn't know you have lungs like that" My dad said who hugged me as I hugged him as well
"And you miss. Lady" My mom said "You are absolutely brilliant, no wonder you needed that money, if you sand we probably would've just handed it to you" my mom said and Mitchie blushed
"We had made a big mistake. We are sorry that we ever got mad and we really miss you Shane" my dad said
"You only get me if you will have Mitchie" I said and she smiled
"Definitely" My mom said hugging us both as a group hug which was a little weird.
"We accept it. We must leave but calls us Shane. And welcome to the family Mitchie" my dad said then him and my mom left. The only thing I could do was hug Mitchie and I never wanted to let go.
It was amazing. We had always had acceptance from her parents and to finally have it from mine was amazing. Apparently her plan of showing them our chemistry worked and I was always going to thank her that.
Mitchie and I are now laying in bed. We had just finished making sweet love letting each other show how much we loved the other is the most sacred way. I have never felt it so passionate in my life it was amazing and it was because I was making it with the love of my life. Don't judge us though. It was so hot and passionate you couldn't call it sex because it was much more than that. It was pure intoxicating love. Now my arms are wrapped around her as her body is next to mine as her head rests gently along my chest.
"I love you" I whisper into her hair
"I love you too" She said "You know how everything this summer, what he did was a big risk for both of us in many different ways"
"Yeah" I said holding her hand
"Well I finally decided something"
"Yeah what is it?" I asked
"All this was..." She stopped
"Was?" I ask almost impatiently
As those final words left her lips it was another beginning to our long life as she concluded her thought as she drifted off to a sleep but not before muttering "Worth the risk" and as those words sunk into my head I fell asleep with her in my arms
