"Oh, nothing, Mrs. Hall." Shane said, smiling nervously with one hand clamped over Nate's mouth, "Nate was just coming to say goodnight."
Mom arched an eyebrow, looking from a struggling Nate to a smiling Shane to a probably red-faced me.
"Mom, really." I said, "Its fine. Shane and Nate just started their normal dispute."
Mom took one more searching look at us before flapping her arms at her sides and sighing,
"I will never understand you kids." she said
"Right you are, Mrs. Hall." Shane said, trying to sound innocent when he really sounded like a guilty businessman.
Mom cast him and Nate a look, who had finally stopped fighting and was now stink-eyeing Shane,
"Be in bed by ten." she said before turning away to go back to the family room
"Night!" Shane and I said together before I closed the room door with a click.
"What was that about?!" Nate shouted angrily, finally free of Shane's hand, which had moved to turn on the light
"We didn't want to get in trouble." Shane and I said together
"Please Nate?" I pleaded to him. Nate looked away and crossed his arms over his chest, "Please?"
Nate continued to be silent and watch the wall. I stepped up and timidly pecked his cheek. He whipped his head back to me and let him mouth drop slightly.
"Please?" I asked one more time. Nate flushed,
"Fine."
"Thank you!" I said happily, pecking him again. Shane slapped him heartily on the back,
"Thanks bro."
"Sure. I'm going back to bed." Nate said with a sigh, he nodded his 'night' and reached for the door.
Just before he closed it, he glared at Shane with narrowed hazel eyes,
"If I find out you-" he began
"Yes, yes, you'll kill me. Goodnight Nate." Shane, shutting the door.
We waited a silent minute before-
"Don't you ever kiss another guy but me." Shane said fericely. I blushed at his not-so-happy stare and he looked me right in the eye.
"Not even if its to help me or the both of us." he said, setting his jaw handsomely, "Ever."
"Shane." I said smiling at him, "You know you're the only popstar for me."
"The only guy for you." he said, still serious
"Yes. The only guy." I repeated, nodding. Shane nodded and relaxed,
"Good."
He gathered me closer, putting his arms loosely around my waist; mine resting up on his shoulders.
We kissed.
He pulled me even closer, angling his chin to the side. He sucked gently on my lips.
We paused for breath and our eyes looked. Those beautiful hazel eyes sparkled behind a thin curtain of black bangs,
Little did I know I would wake up the next morning and not see them.
Sorry. Short and sweet...? Maybe? Tell me what you think, my dear readers!
