Song: Say Ok- Vanessa Hudgens

Requested by: zvforever

Dedication: No dedication for this chapter. GOSH, I need to find someone to dedicate these chapters to! XD

Pairing: Shane x Mitchie (Smitchie)

Mitchie and Shane had been going out for a few months now, but Shane had never officially asked Mitchie to be his girlfriend. Mitchie anxiously awaited for the day to come, but it seemed to go on forever.

What was he waiting for? Was one of the things Mitchie constantly wondered.

Why am I waiting? Was the other.

Mitchie thought it might be because at Final Jam…she felt something. Something inside her exploded. Her heart was racing, her hands were clammy, and she thought that she was about to throw up.

All signs that she was in love.

--

Mitchie always wondered why he never asked her to be his girlfriend. She didn't want to come off as stupid and ask him why.

Maybe it was because he just assumed that they were.

Maybe it was because he was afraid of commitment.

Maybe it was because he wanted to date other girls.

Whatever the reason was, Mitchie was tired of waiting, and knew that if he didn't ask her soon, she would just have to sum up her courage and ask him what was up.

--

Shane was working on a new song. He strummed his guitar and murmured a few words. He knew what his inspiration was, he just couldn't figure out the right words.

"Shane…" he heard.

Shane turned around to see Mitchie.

"Hey Mitchie." Shane smiled, expecting Mitchie's grin in return.

It wasn't.

"I need to talk to you…" Mitchie trailed.

Shane grew apprehensive, "Sure…what about?"

Mitchie seemed to have frozen, "Umm…nothing, I got to go. Bye!"

Mitchie ran off, her face full of embarrassment. Shane turned back to his song, still stuck on it. He knew something was wrong with Mitchie.

--

Shane decided to call Mitchie and ask her what was wrong. She was programmed to be number one on speed dial. He smiled to himself as he waited for her to pick up.

Mitchie felt her phone vibrate. She pulled it out of her pocket and saw a picture of Shane, showing that he was calling. She felt her heart lift, but didn't know if she should pick it up right away. That might make her too eager, but if she waited too long, he would give up.

Mitchie slightly wished that she could go back to a time where she didn't have to worry about those types of things. She sighed and answered her phone.

"Shane?"

"Mitchie! Hey listen, I called to see what was wrong."

"Nothing's wrong. What would make you think something was wrong?" Mitchie asked, praying that he wouldn't push any further.

"The way you acted earlier today. You were so…off."

Mitchie bit her lip. Her prayers hadn't been answered, "Um…I'll tell you…but only if you can meet me in five minutes."

"Done."

--

Mitchie paced, waiting for Shane. She had bottled up emotions locked away inside of her. She wasn't sure if she was going to explode or not. She loved Shane, but she was confused. He seemed to be sending her mixed signals.

She was happy yet sad when he was around.

She was anxious yet calm.

She was affectionate yet jealous and angry.

Mitchie was mainly confused.

"Hey Mitchie!" Shane called happily.

Mitchie stopped pacing and looked up at Shane's big smile. She couldn't help but give a smile in return. Happiness was contagious.--

"So, what's wrong?" Shane asked, now looking concerned.

Mitchie sucked in her breath and paused, "Why…"

"Why?" Shane asked, obviously confused.

Mitchie looked away from his eyes and stared at the floor instead, "Why…haven't you asked me to be your girlfriend?"

Shane blinked a few times before answering, "Listen, I haven't because-"

"I'm not pretty enough! I'm not smart enough! Because you think everyone else is better than me!" Mitchie exclaimed, now looking Shane directly in the eyes.

Shane shook his head slowly, "No, of course not."

"Then what is it?" Mitchie whispered, a tear falling down her cheek. She was looking at the ground once more.

Shane cupped her face in his hands and wiped the tears away, "Because I didn't think you wanted me to."

--

"Mitchie Torres, will you be my girlfriend?" Shane asked softly.

Mitchie nodded, and buried her face into Shane's chest. Everything was going to be ok.
