A/N: Okay, I just got mind blowing news!! lol My Shane was dating Lisa
Moretti, Ivory, last year and sources say they broke up over Christmas. I
mean DAMN! I knew he wasn't single, but I never pictured him with Ivory!
I mean come on, of all people could you guys honestly see him with her?!
If people like that are hookin up, then I better start dating William
Regal! Ya know what I'm saying?! I mean seriously, you guys, do you see
the two of them being together in real life? And this is a poll. I'd
really like to know! Also, who do you guys see Cinder with in this story?
I have my plans for her, but I'm just curious. So, when ya'll review,
please let me know. THANKS!!! Oh and I now have proof of how obsessed I
am with Shane. I took down ALL my pictures that were on my wall and packed
em up. Now there's still one poster on my wall. And that poster happens
to be the one of Shane from the poster book. Yeah, I'm obsessed. I just
can't take it down till I leave. So there it is, hanging over my bed,
looking down on me. Right, obsession. I'm NOT ashamed to admit it! lol
And to those of you who read the latest chapter of Without You. I
completely apologize for all the typos. I read over it after I had posted
it and saw that the typos were like ALL over the place. I don't know what
the hell happened to me. Damn would my high school keyboarding teacher
have been shocked!

"Whoa, are you sure you're only goin out with Shane and not Vin Diesel?!" Lizzie laughed as Cinder stepped into the living room, waiting for Shane to pick her up.
"Haha, very funny Lizzie," she replied sarcastically.
"Well, I mean gees C. You're looking mighty fine there girl," Lizzie said pulling out her best southern hillbilly accent. Cinder's face contorted into a scowl as she crossed her arms over her black halter top. She wore a pair of stonewashed flares and boots. She was looking pretty good with her hair slightly curled and her make-up natural. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say that you were trying to get with Shane."
"Oh Jesus, not this shit again. We're friends. JUST FRIENDS!" Cinder exclaimed as the door bell rang. Cinder jumped slightly, but tried to pass it off so Lizzie wouldn't notice. She bit on her lower lip as her cousin raised an eyebrow.
"Well, Adam went to pick up Alanah, so it's not her. And Shannon won't be here till 8. And I'm pretty sure Mr. Hardy already came to pick up Aunt Leeann. So, my guess would be that it's Shane. If you want I can answer it and tell him that you're tryin to make yourself all pretty for him as if it were a DATE," Lizzie teased. Cinder slapped her arm and stood, straightening out her top and fluffing up her hair. She pressed her clear glossed lips together and took a deep breath before opening the door.
"JEFF?!" Cinder exclaimed.
"Jeff?!" Lizzie yelled as she ran towards the door. "What are you doin here?"
"Well, Trish is in the car and we're on our way to the movies right? When she says to me, Jeff, I have a personal problem and I need um, well, you girls know," Jeff replied nervously, his cheeks growing redder and redder every minute, and sweat began to drip from his forehead.
Meanly, Lizzie decided she'd push the issue and crossed her arms with a smile on her face before saying, "No, Jeff. What are you talking about?" Cinder looked at her confused and then realized what she was doing. So to cause the dangerous cousin duo to strike again, she followed after her.
"Yeah, Jeff, we don't know what you're talking about," Cinder said.
"Oh come on guys! You know exactly what I'm tryin to say here!" Jeff pleaded.
"Jeff, why don't you just say what she needs?" Lizzie asked.
"Because it's, it's, it's wrong!" Jeff stuttered.
"Well, Jeff, until you can tell us what's goin on, we can't help," Cinder said with a sigh.
Jeff dropped his head and muttered some words. "What Jeff, we didn't hear you," Lizzie smiled.
"I SAID SHE NEEDS A FUCKIN TAMPON!!!" Jeff yelled. Immediately the girls broke out in such fits of laughter they couldn't breath and fell to the floor. Tears were flowing down their cheeks as they tried to calm down. "I hate you two!"
"We're so sorry Jeff! It was just something we couldn't pass up!" Cinder laughed.
"Oh hell, who are we kidding? We're not sorry. That was fucking entertaining!" Lizzie laughed.
"Come on guys, we're gonna be late for the movie. Please?!!" Jeff pleaded.
"Yeah, I'll be right back," Lizzie laughed as she ran up the stairs. Cinder moved out of the way and Jeff stepped inside the house.
"So, do you think you and Trish are gonna like become a couple?" Cinder asked.
"I don't know. It could happen. I really do like her," Jeff smiled. "What about you and Shane?"
"Shane and I are just friends. It's a friend date. It would be just like if I went out with you, or Trish, or Shannon," Cinder replied. "I'm kinda getting sick of people asking me that question though!"
"Sorry," Jeff apologized as Lizzie ran down the stairs with a couple tampons in hand.
"Here ya go Jeffy," she giggled handing them to him. He rolled his eyes at her but chuckled as he walked out the door with a wave. "Well that certainly was fun. I hope the rest of my nite is this fun!"
"I'm sure it will be. You're goin out with Shannon, and he seems to always find a way to have fun," Cinder smiled as she and Lizzie walked back into the living room.
"So, when's Shane supposed to be here?" Lizzie asked.
"Um, about 10 minutes ago," Cinder laughed.
"Oh, the boy's late!" Lizzie asked. "Are you and him goin to the same movie as Trish and Jeff?"
"No, they're goin to a drive-in," Cinder answered as she saw a car pull into the drive way. "That must be him." Cinder took a deep breath and stood, walking to the door. She opened it just as Shane got to the door, in fact he was reaching for the doorbell.
"Whoa, mind reading now?" he joked.
"Nah, I saw you drive in. Mind reading is my secret gift. I can't just be using it," Cinder laughed as she grabbed her jacket off the hook.
"And when you do use that gift, please no drifting into my mind," Shane requested with a smile.
"Shane you're mind is so fucked up, she'd be lucky to get out alive!" Lizzie yelled from the living room.
"Suck it Lizzie!" he yelled back playfully.
"I wouldn't be able to find it!" Lizzie shot back.
Shane started to open his mouth, but Cinder covered it quickly. "Nite Lizzie!" Cinder laughed as she pulled Shane towards his SUV.
"Does she seriously have to be your cousin?" Shane asked as he opened the door for Cinder.
"Yeah, sorry to break the news to ya," Cinder laughed. "Oh my God. We had so much fun with Jeff earlier."
"Why doesn't that surprise me? Ya know, I heard about that little stunt you did to him and Shannon with the help of the evil one that's living in your house," Shane said.
"Little stunt? Why, I have no clue what you are talking about," Cinder said innocently.
"Well, let me tell you, if you two ever pull that little trick on me with the soda, I won't be afraid to kick your asses!" Shane laughed.
"Yeah, okay Shane. Who's the one that usual gets their ass kicked?" Cinder asked.
"Um," he said clearing his throat. "Me."
"Right, so I think you better know you place in the world. Cause when Lizzie and I are together, we're an unstoppable force," Cinder laughed nudging his shoulder before walking up to the ticket booth.
"Two tickets for X-Men," Shane said. Cinder put her hand on his as he began to pay for both tickets. "What?"
"I'll pay for mine," she replied as he shook his head.
"No, my treat," Shane insisted.
"No, Shane. I'm paying for my ticket," she argued as she pulled out money. He grabbed the money out her hand and placed it in her back pocket of her jeans. He smiled at her, grabbed the tickets, and grabbed her hand pulling her into the theater. "I can't believe you just did that."
"Hey, I wasn't having you pay when I was the one that asked you to come with me," he shrugged as they found seats in the middle of the theater.
"No, not that, you touched my ass," she laughed. His face fell as his cheeks turned pink with embarrassment.
"I just did it without thinking," he replied softly. Cinder just laughed at him as the movie started.
***********************
"I had an awesome time with you tonite C. Like more than normal," Shane said nervously as he walked her up to her door.
"Me too. We should definitely do it again," Cinder smiled sweetly.
"What about tomorrow? Are you busy? Cause we could like have a picnic on the beach and maybe rent some movies or something," Shane suggested.
"I'd like that. I am going to go dirt biking with Shannon and Jeff tomorrow afternoon. But I'm free after 5," she said.
"Alright, how about I come pick you up around 6?"
"Sounds great. I'll see you then." Cinder started to open the door, but Shane placed his hand on her arm. She turned towards him and he kissed her tenderly. When they pulled back she couldn't help want more. She returned the kiss with one of her own. They smiled at each other and she walked into the house, closing the door behind her she leaned up against it. Shane looked at the door and shook his head before leaving.
"Are you finally home?!" Adam exclaimed from the kitchen.
"Yeah, I'm home," Cinder replied as she walked in there to see him and Lizzie eating ice cream together.
"1:30, C. You're bad at this whole curfew deal," Adam laughed as he scooped out a bowl of her favorite Ben and Jerry's Karmal Sutra ice cream. She set her jacket down on the counter and sat on a bar stool next to Lizzie.
"I'm surprised you two are back knowing that Mom's not gonna be home again tonite," she smiled happily.
"Shannon was gonna spend the nite, but I didn't want risk it, ya know?" Lizzie said. "I am a guest here after all."
"Trust me, mom isn't gonna get mad at you. She'd get mad at me for letting him stay here," Adam laughed as Cinder moved the ice cream around her bowl.
"What's with you?" Lizzie asked.
"Nothing," Cinder replied continuing to smile as if she had just won a million bucks.
"Cin, are you okay?" Adam asked. She looked at him and nodded.
"Yeah, of course ADD," she laughed. Adam gave Lizzie a side ways glance and raised a curious eyebrow.
"Well, would you tell us why you have this stupid look on your face," Lizzie blurted.
"Stupid look?" Cinder asked.
"Uh-oh. Okay, Cin, we are due for a cousin to cousin, girl to girl, discussion," Lizzie said as she placed her bowl in the sink.
"C, I have to ask, when did you become a girl?" Adam joked.
"I've always been a girl!" Cinder exclaimed sounding slightly offended.
"Well, of course you are, but you've never LOOKED like one," Adam smiled.
"What are you tryin to say?" Cinder said in a huff.
"Just that I've never seen you dress like such a girl. What happened to my Cinderella? The girl that used to walk around the house in jeans and a t-shirt carrying her skate board or a football and the baseball cap on backwards. The girl that used to have dirt smudged on her face. The girl that always hung out with the guys and not dated them," Adam said.
"Hey, this is mostly all your fault. You're the one that wanted me to be a cheerleader!"
"Only because I knew that once you got into high school you'd try to be a football player!" Adam laughed.
"So?! I'm good. I could have been quarter back."
"Sweetie, you know that and I know that. But think of how you would be looked at by the guys and the girls and just everyone at the school. I didn't want people to look down on my little sister. High school's rough sis. You just got to pass by all that shit," Adam said.
"Ugh! Whatever. I'm goin to bed. Goodnite!!" Cinder exclaimed leaving her bowl on the counter and storming up to her room. Lizzie and Adam looked at each other before Lizzie ran up after her.
"Okay, now, tell me what's up," Lizzie said as she walked into Cinder's bedroom.
"Nothing."
"Cinder, I know that look, hell I had that look most of tonite. What happened?!" Lizzie asked.
Cinder's smile returned to her face as she sat on her bed. She happily explained what happened to Lizzie. "Shane and I were saying goodnite and I was about to walk in the door when he stopped me. He kissed me and oh my God did I enjoy it. Then, I kissed him and walked inside."
"Oh my God! Just friends huh?" Lizzie teased.
"It was unexpected. Really it was. We just had such a good nite. I've never had so much fun. And tomorrow nite we're having a picnic on the beach and then renting some movies," Cinder said.
"You best not be watchin them here! Shannon and I are gonna be here and I wanna be alone with him," Lizzie winked.
"Um, Lizzie, I think there's something you should know about Shannon," Cinder laughed.
"Oh no, what? He's not gay is he?!" Lizzie freaked.
"OH NO!!! No, he's um, he's like me," Cinder said as she scratched her head nervously.
"Like you? How?" Lizzie asked.
"Well, um, I don't know if you've done it or not, but I, well," Cinder said biting her lower lip.
"Done it? You mean sex?! Yeah I've had sex!" Lizzie laughed. Cinder just looked around the room and sighed. "Whoa, wait, you haven't?!"
"No, I haven't," Cinder said. "I just haven't felt like it's been the right time or been with the right person. When did you do it?"
"Oh, um, freshmen year. My first REAL boyfriend," Lizzie answered.
"How'd you know?"
"I just knew. Things just went along and it happened. I could have stopped it if I wanted to, but I didn't want to."
"So, I'll just know. Just like that?" Cinder asked snapping her fingers.
"Pretty much," Lizzie smiled. "Now, what do you mean Shannon's like you?"
"He's a virgin," Cinder answered. "Hell, you'd be his first REAL girlfriend. Usually he only dates. I've never actually seen him with anyone."
"Hmm, well, looks like things could get pretty interesting!" Lizzie laughed. "What about Shane is he a virgin?"
"Wow, I don't know. I'd have to ask his ex, Lisa Moretti," Cinder answered.
"Is that the girl that on the cheering squad with you. She looks like a brut?" Lizzie laughed.
"Yeah, that's her. She's really nice though. Kinda bossy, but not too bad. We get along," Cinder smiled.
"So, how long did they date?" Lizzie asked.
"Um, I think almost a year. He broke up with her around May when school was starting to get over and when I had finished "dating" Jay," Cinder answered.
"Wow, wait, you and Jay were together?!" Lizzie exclaimed.
"It was just a fling. It only lasted a little bit. It was WAY too weird," Cinder laughed.
"Wow, Adam must have hated it."
"He actually didn't know. We kept it a secret from him and pretty much everyone else. In fact Shane was the only who knew we were together," Cinder said. "So I'd really appreciate it if you wouldn't say anything."
"No problem. So, do you think that Shannon would have sex with me?"
"I dunno. I'm not in Shannon's head. I do know one thing though," Cinder began to laugh.
"What?"
"He's always had a thing about me and Amy getting into some action!"
"Are you fuckin serious?"
"Completely! How sick is that?!"
"He actually told you that?"
"No, he hinted at it though. The boy might be quiet, but he's got a sick mind. I guess what they say is true. It's always the quiet ones you have to look out for!"
"So, tell me about that kiss. Are his lips as kissable as they look?" Lizzie asked curiously.
"Possibly," Cinder said with a smile.
"SHARE!"
"Okay, so I'm so NOT complaining. I was, after all, practically begging for more! Definitely beat out Charlie's kisses. They're right up there with Chris's," Cinder replied.
"Damn girl!"
"Well, what about Shannon?"
"Let's just say that I'm not complaining either," Lizzie smiled.
