Hello again : )
Thanks to everyone to actually like this; it's amazing!
I know a lot of you want Shane to propose but come on! They've been together now like five months! They can't get engaged after that. Wait until her 19th birthday at least ;) Which by the way is in August…which is 8months away…
Anyway, if any of you have any ideas about what you want to happen mention them in a review or PM me. I honestly would love to know all your ideas.
Let's get to it shall we?
Btw, I know nothing about cars or the types and such…
Chapter 27- Drunken Shocks
"Shane…got you a car?" David squeaked.
"Yes!" Mitchie said excitedly.
"Oh my!" Connie exclaimed placing her hand to her mouth. "Is it…a nice car?" She asked, her eyes lighting up at the thought of a lavish, convertible race car or something of the sort.
"Only the best for my Mitchie." Shane stated grinning from ear to ear at the excited gleam that was emitted from his girlfriend. "She won't see in until we're back in New York though." Mitchie pouted as Shane smirked and sent a wink her way.
"But…what car is it?" Tanya asked shocked by the gift. Lily giggled as Shane blew in her ear. He turned and grinned at everyone in the room.
"I bought Mitch a pale blue Mini Cooper." Mitchie's grin got larger and she kissed him soundlessly, emitting a look of disgust from Lily. "It's a very safe car." He stated to David who still had a look of pure shock and…horror on his face. He smiled half-heartedly.
"Thank you Shane."
…
"I can't believe you got me a car." Mitchie whispered into the dark, quiet night. She snuggled closer to Shane and placed her head on his chest gently. His arms snaked tighter around her waist and kissed her head before pulling the duvet tighter around them.
"I know it's not exactly romantic but, I had no other choice." He laughed.
"My present for you is going to suck now." Mitchie whined. He laughed again and squeezed her against him softly.
"The fact you love me…is more than enough baby." He whispered. Mitchie smiled.
"You really know how to make a girl melt." She said half teasingly and half serious.
"I try." He stated cockily. Mitchie turned to him mouth wide and eyebrows raised.
"Jerk."
"Oh am I?" He asked before pinning her under him. He moved his head close to hers so; his lips just about touched her own. "Tell me I'm a jerk again. I dare you." He said seriously. Mitchie bit her lip seeing his eyes darken drastically with pure lust.
Her breathing became uneasy as he teasingly rubbed his hand under her tank top slowly. "You're my jerk." She whispered before his lips descended on hers. "I love you." She mumbled as his hands moved up and down her sides seductively. "But, we can't do this here…" He stopped, raised his head and looked down at her pouting.
"Why not?" He asked stubbornly. Mitchie giggled and ran her fingers through his hair.
"Because, my parents are down the hall, as is your family."
"Only mom and Lily are my family." He stated moving to sit. He hugged his knees to his chest and began glaring at the door.
"Shane…" Mitchie sighed moving to sit behind him. She wrapped her arms around him from behind and laid her head against his back.
"You didn't see the way that bastard was…leering at you." Mitchie rolled her eyes and kissed his bare shoulder.
"It doesn't mean anything." She stated laying her chin on his shoulder.
"To hell it does!" He shouted jumping up. Mitchie fell back in shock. "Mitchie he fucking wants to fuck you!" Mitchie's mouth opened and closed. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to shout." He briskly walked over to her and knelt in front taking her hands gently. "It's just…I don't like when guys look at you like that. I'm not saying you're my property coz I'd never say that but, you're my Mitchie. I don't want guys to look at you like that because it's…degrading." Mitchie smiled and caressed his cheek softly.
"And you never check me out?" she asked playfully.
"Only when I know it'll do me good." He smirked attacking his lips with hers once more. "Never leave me." he stated seriously pulling away.
"Not in a million years."
"I'm being serious Mitch. Promise me, you will never leave. If I start being a jerk again then I'm sorry. I just need you to keep me…grounded."
Mitchie smiled. "I promise…do you?"
"Of course I do." He grinned and kissed her once more. He leant onto his back and she crawled next to him, she placed her head on his chest and he pulled her close to him. "I want to stay like this forever." He stated. She smiled and turned her head to look up at him.
"Me too." she whispered. He smiled.
"Another day with the family tomorrow." Shane shuddered. Mitchie bit her lip.
"Why does nothing seem to go smoothly for us?" Mitchie asked closing her eyes.
"Coz then we'd be living a lie. No real romances go smoothly." Mitchie smiled.
"That almost makes certain tomorrow won't go smoothly." Mitchie yawned.
"I'm sure it won't."
…
"Good morning Mrs Torres."
"Oh Shane, I didn't expect you up so early this morning." Connie smiled.
"Couldn't sleep." He stated taking a seat at the small kitchen table. He stifled a yawn. "I'm sorry about yesterday." Connie shook it off as she placed a cup of tea in front of him.
"It's understandable Shane." Shane smiled half-heartedly.
"She makes it out like it's easy. My mom I mean. She says it should be easy for me to just go up to Andrew and immediately act like he's my father. He's not. It's alright for Lily. She didn't know dad as well as I did." He sighed. Connie smiled sadly at the young man before sitting opposite him with her own coffee.
"You and Lily are extremely close." She thought it best to forget his small rant knowing he just wanted to get it off of his chest instead of having a full conversation about it.
"Yeah well, when dad left I kind of thought it was like up to me to look out for her I guess." He sipped his tea. "She was only two when he left…she only had two years with him whilst I had sixteen. It wasn't fair to her so, I felt like I couldn't be one of those brothers who hate their sisters. I needed to be a brother who would always be there for her. And I've tried my hardest over the years. She was the only one before Mitch who could stop me from becoming that ego tistical jerk. Just one look of those innocent, teary eyes had me holding onto her as if life depended on it. Simply because, I had to see those eyes as they tried to understand what mom was telling us when dad left. It…broke me more than him leaving."
Connie smiled. "You're an amazing guy Shane. Mitchie's lucky to have a guy like you."
"In all honestly Mrs T, I think it's me that is lucky to have a girl like her." He smiled.
"Morning."
Connie and Shane both turned at the low grumble. Shane's eyes narrowed on Will. "Good morning Will, tea? Coffee?" Connie asked standing up.
"Coffee please. Tea's for wuss'." He stated sitting in the recently vacated seat. Shane glared at him as he smirked. "See you've got tea there Shane."
"He's allergic to coffee." Shane turned and smiled. "Morning mom." Mitchie said kissing her mother on the cheek and grabbing herself a mug of tea. "Good morning." she whispered kissing Shane gently. "I for one am happy he's allergic. Just the smell of coffee is…bleughh." Mitchie made a face as she sat in the chair next to Shane. She laughed as he pulled the chair closer. Mitchie brought her knees to her chest and leant against Shane's side happily.
"You're rather…chipper this morning." Shane chuckled. She shrugged.
"You were up early. Everything ok?" Mitchie asked turning to look at him. He nodded.
"Everything's fine."
"Shane and I have been talking about how wonderful it is you guys are together once more. For good this time I hope." Connie said pointedly.
"Of course Mrs T." Shane laughed as Mitchie simply smiled.
"And how was your sleep Will?" Mitchie asked. He looked up from stirring his coffee and smirked.
"Cold. I think I need to find something to…warm me up." He said the leering look back on his face. Mitchie watched as his eyes seemed to lower from her face. She looked down and wrapped an arm across her chest. Shane glared.
"Try a hot water bottle." He snapped.
"I was thinking…something a little hotter." Will smirked. Mitchie gulped; she hadn't noticed how much Will did leer at her.
"I think I'm going to go for a shower." Mitchie said standing up and walking out of the room.
"Yeh I'll go with her." Shane said. Connie choked on her coffee. Shane's eyes widened. "No no no! I didn't mean it like that! I mean…what I mean was…I…"
"It's ok Shane…just…go." Connie laughed awkwardly.
Shane nodded and ran up the stairs. "Well that was embarrassing." He said to himself as he collapsed on the bed.
…
"You can't catch me Shane!" Lily giggled madly as she ran around the living room.
"Lily!" Shane shouted laughing lightly. "Give me back my hair wax! It'll curl!" he whined, running after her. "Come…here!" He shouted in triumph as he finally caught her around the waist and swung her around in a circle. "Got cha." He laughed as Lily pouted.
"Sha-aaaaaaane." She whined. He laughed again.
"Now, be a good girl and give me my wax." He said sternly. Still pouting Lily passed over the hair wax and Shane placed her back on her feet.
"Your hair's curling." Mitchie stated as Shane walked into the bedroom. He glared at her.
"Lily is a monster!" He pouted as Mitchie just laughed and stood up from the bed. "Well…don't you look…gorgeous." He wiggled his eyebrows as he wrapped his arms around her waist. Mitchie blushed and looked down at herself. She was wearing a black strapless dress that fell to her knees. From the waist down it flew out slightly because of the netting attached underneath and going across the bust and down one side of the dress was silver detailing with beads and sequins. She had to admit it gave her a really lovely shape.
"Why thank you but, I think your hair is going to continue curling if you don't sort it." She stated, playing with a random wave on the side of his head.
"I'll meet you downstairs, your mom said dinner's soon and I need to sort my hair." Mitchie nodded, kissed him quickly and left the room.
…
"Mitchie! Could you clear up the kitchen before dinner please?"
"Sure mom." Mitchie smiled as she walked into the kitchen to clean up as her mother started setting the dining room table. She quietly hummed to herself as she watched the water fill up the washing up bowl.
"Need any help?" Mitchie turned and smiled.
"Thanks Will." He smiled as he stepped forward. He gave her the once over before taking a place next to her. "Here, you can dry up." She laughed chucking him a dry tea towel.
"Jee, thanks." He said sarcastically. Mitchie giggled again as she passed him a plate to dry. "Your mom's a really good cook." He stated. Mitchie 'hmm-ed' as she nodded. "I guess you're just as good right?" Mitchie stopped nodded and shook her head.
"I can get by. I'm no where near as great as my mom. I know how to cook it's just not very awesome." She laughed again. Will could be nice when he wanted to be.
"Your parents said you live with Shane?" He asked as he continued drying the other things she had washed.
"Mhmm…in the apartment he bought with Nate and Jason. Their girlfriends live there too."
"Doesn't it get annoying? Seeing everyone every day?" he asked turning to her.
She wiped a stray piece of her hair off her face and turned to look at him. He smiled.
"Not really. I love being with all my friends. We're just like one big family." His smiled got larger and pretty soon he was laughing quietly. "What?" she asked getting paranoid.
"You have bubbles on your face." He laughed. Mitchie blushed. She began raising her hand to wipe them away but, stopped when Will's hand gently brushed her cheek. She bit her lip as he continued wiping at her cheek even after she knew the bubbles had gone. She bit it tighter as she noticed he had started leaning in. Her eyes widened as his lips came dangerously close to her own. Why wasn't she turning away? "You look…beautiful." he whispered, millimetres away from her lips. She gulped as he leant even further…
Both Mitchie and Will jumped back at the sound of someone clearing their throat. Mitchie's eyes widened again and she blushed as Shane stopped leaning against the door frame and took a step into the room; his eyes narrowed into slits.
"Well, don't you two look…cosy." He hissed. Mitchie gulped.
"We're just washing up." Will stated suddenly looking extremely nervous. Mitchie noticed his hands shaking.
Shane let out a hoarse, fake laugh. "Yeah sure, whatever you say." He rolled his eyes before glaring back at both Will and Mitchie.
"Mmm smells great! Even if I say so myself." Connie laughed as she walked into the kitchen. She stopped, noticing the tension in the room. She glanced from Mitchie who had tears in her eyes and was looking directly at the floor, biting her lip extremely hard, to Will who was still shakingly drying another plate and lastly to Shane whose glare couldn't hide the pain and tears that had gathered in his eyes. Connie cleared her throat nervously. "Why don't you guys go get seated at the dinner table? Everyone else has taken theirs."
The three nodded and solemnly walked into the dining room. Will rushed the chair next to Shane's mom and his dad whilst Mitchie quietly took the seat opposite Lily and next to her dad. Shane took the other spare seat that was next to Mitchie, opposite Will and next to Andrew. Connie came out moments later with plates of food.
"Merry Christmas…again." David laughed. Everyone raised their wine glasses; Lily rose her juice cup and said Merry Christmas. Mitchie glanced to Shane as she put her small glass of wine to her lips and took a sip. She shook her head slightly seeing Shane gulp down the whole glass.
"Whoa, slow down there son!" Andrew laughed also watching Shane. "You're not twenty-one yet!" Shane glared over at him.
"He will be soon." Tanya stated obviously knowing that an argument would soon take place.
Shane placed his wine glass down on the table and reached forward to take the bottle. He poured himself another glass, took another large gulp and then began eating his meal. The table was silent, sensing the awkwardness between the three young adults.
Mitchie looked down at her plate and gently stabbed the turkey with her fork. One lone tear sliding down her cheek as she did so…
…
"Care to explain what happened?" Connie asked walking into the almost empty kitchen. Mitchie turned from the sink and shrugged before turning back to the washing up. "Mitchie…"
"I'm such an idiot." She mumbled. "After everything he does for me, everything he's got me for Christmas, everything he whispered to me last night and I go do…that." She slammed her hands on the edge of the sink as tears started falling.
"Do what sweetie?" Connie asked wrapping an arm around Mitchie's shoulders.
"When I was washing up earlier, Will came in to help me. He said I had bubbles on my cheek so he started wiping them away but, continued wiping my cheek. Then, he leant forward and I didn't turn away. And I don't know why. Then Shane came in." she whispered the last part.
"Oh sweetie." Connie sighed. "You were probably shocked; wondering why someone would even attempt to kiss you when you are so in love with your boyfriend and he knows that. You were just shocked sweetie."
"Maybe." Mitchie whispered.
"Fuck you!"
Mitchie and Connie jumped as they heard someone shout. Mitchie's eyes widened knowing it was Shane who said those harsh words. They rushed into the living room.
"What's going on?" Mitchie asked as her and her mother stopped in the doorway. Shane was standing; well, swaying as he pointed and glared at Will.
"He…" Shane hissed. "Won't admit it."
"Won't admit what?" Connie asked.
"That he wants her!" Shane shouted standing up straight.
"Shane," David sighed, stood up and attempted to get the young man to calm down. Shane however, was having none of it. Mitchie hoped this wouldn't make her father hate Shane.
"I'm sorry Shane but, I have no idea what you're talking about. Mitchie and I are just friends." Will said trying to hide a smirk Mitchie noticed.
"Liar! You are such a fucking liar!" Shane slurred. "You kissed her! Kissed her! You've been checking her out since you fucking got here! And it wouldn't surprise me if you fucking watched her as she showered or something!"
Will let the smirk cover his face this time. "Or more." He stated. Shane's jaw clenched.
"What…did you just say?" he asked his voice dangerously low.
"I said more." He emphasized. "Do you want to hear how we fucked last night Shane? How she snuck out of your bed in the middle of the night and made passionate love to me? How she was moaning my name instead of yours? Do you wanna hear how our naked bodies moved together with such a rhythm that I took her to a whole new level of ecstasy that you couldn't even dream of?" Mitchie glanced at Shane and noticed how pale he seemed to have gone. His fists had clenched so tightly his knuckles had gone pure white. She wrapped her arms around herself tightly. "Is that what you wanted to hear?!" Will shouted standing up too.
Shane made to jump at him but, was stopped by David. "Calm down Shane…just calm down. It's all lies." He said.
"I don't care! I don't care!" He shouted shaking off David's hold. "Do you not realise how demeaning that was?" he asked quietly. "Do you not realise how…painful that is to hear? Even if it's not true. Coz right now…I have a mental picture of the love of my life making love to someone that is not me. Do you not know how…horrible that is? Because…no matter what…even though I know she would never do it, I can't fully…trust her. And that hurts…that really hurts."
Mitchie choked out a sob as he left the room and ran upstairs. She glanced to Will who had also turned white.
Merry fucking Christmas.
I think I liked the end…not sure about the beginning but…liked the end.
Did we like how Shane acted in this chapter?
What about Mitchie?
Review please?!
