Shelby looked up at Scott and found that he was looking down at her. They both smiled. Scott squeezed Shelby's hand quickly and they both let go of each other. Shelby went over by Daisy and Juliet, who were both waiting for her, and Scott walked over to Peter.
"Well?" Juliet asked quickly.
"Well what?" Shelby asked, playing dumb.
"Don't be stupid! Tell us what happened." Daisy said, lightly slapping Shelby.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Shelby responded with a grin.
"Bullshit! You can't fool me." Daisy said with raised eye brows.
Shelby sighed and looked around, seeing if anyone was here and with in hearing distance.
"Don't be shy. I think we all figured it out already." Juliet said.
"How?" Shelby asked.
"You guys were gone together for almost two hours. Something was bound to happen."
"And you guys walked in holding hands." Daisy added.
"Well, if you guys figured it out already than what do you want me to tell you?" Shelby asked.
"We want you to confirm it." Juliet said.
"Why do you guys care anyways?"
"We just do. Now are we right?"
"Well, that depends. What do you guys think happened?"
"I think you got yourself back in the saddle," Daisy said with a smirk.
Shelby couldn't help but laugh. She didn't know why it seemed so funny for that was exactly what happened but just how Daisy said it was strange to her.
"I'm going to take it from that laugh that we were right?" Juliet made it a question.
Shelby smiled and bit her bottom lip. The other two girls knew what she meant by that: they were right.
"So is he as good as you remember?" Daisy asked with that same smirk still dancing across her face.
"Dais!" Shelby said with a grin.
"What? I'm curious."
"Well, if you must know than the answer is no." Shelby said and then off a look from Juliet, she smiled and continued. "He was better."
All of the girls chuckled.
Scott had dragged Peter away into the empty kitchen. He was, as always, asking him for advise.
"And then it happened." Scott finished the summing up of what happened.
Peter was giving Scott a look that clearly said 'whoa!'.
"I'm not really sure about what you need my help with, Scott." Peter said.
"I don't know what to do about Anita. And I'm not sure what Shelby wants to do about any of this." Scott said and sounded so lost.
"Well what goes on between you and Anita is going to be completely up to you. Shelby has so say in that part. Then, I suggest that you talk to Shelby about she wants to do with everything."
"I know this deal with Anita is all up to me but I still don't know what to do."
"Well, what do you want?"
"I want to be with Shelby."
"Then what are you going to do?" Peter asked.
"I have to end it with Anita." Scott said softly.
"Are you sure that's what you want to do?"
"If the choice comes down between Shelby and Anita then I'm gonna go with Shelby."
"Scott, I can't help you with any of this. This is all you and Shelby. All I can say is that you should do what you think is right. If you think you belong with Shelby then end things with Anita, if you think you belong with Anita then talk to Shelby about what you two are going to do about Jena. Just make sure whatever you do is really what you want."
"Being with Shelby is what I want. I love her too damn much to loose her again."
Scott and Peter walked out of the kitchen and back into the lodge They were careful not to step on the sleeping students on the floor. Peter walked over to Sophie and told her some of what was going on for he could tell that she really wanted to know what was going on with their favorite couple.
Scott looked over to Shelby and saw her talking to Daisy and Juliet. Shelby looked towards Scott and they simple watched each other for several moments. Neither of them knew really how long they stared at each other or why they were even doing it but they just couldn't take their eyes off one another.
They both walked away from what they were doing and towards each other. Once they met Scott put his arms around Shelby's waist and smiled down at her. Shelby mirrored what Scott did and wrapped her arms around his waist as well. They stood, smiling, watching and touching each other. Finally they moved closer to each other but not so they could kiss; they moved closer to each other so that Shelby could rest her head on Scott's chest as they hugged each other.
They parted and looked up at each other, still smiling.
"What was that for?" Shelby asked, meaning the hug.
"I just needed you in my arms." Scott said and pulled Shelby into another embrace.
Shelby smiled again and let herself relax in Scott's arms.
"Did they use to act like this?" Jason asked, referring to Scott and Shelby hugging for no reason.
"Not really," Ezra said.
"Are you kidding me? These two love birds were always all over each other." David said.
"Yeah but they were always all over each other in a kissing way, not hugging."
"True,"
"They still were always a great couple though," Auggie said.
Daisy and Juliet walked over by the guys in the kitchen. Daisy walked to Jason and gave him a kiss and Juliet did the same to Auggie. Ezra and David, the two with out lovers there, looked at each other and gave the two couples with looks raised eye brows.
Scott and Shelby walked into the kitchen and poured themselves a cup of coffee. Scott took his black but Shelby added cream and sugar to hers. They were quickly followed by Peter and Sophie who both got their coffee as well. Peter liked his black and Sophie added cream and sugar. The girls looked at each other and then at the boys.
"How can you drink your coffee black?" Shelby asked.
"Why do you add stuff to perfectly good coffee?" Peter asked.
"Exactly, you guys ruin it," Scott teased.
"We do not," Shelby and Sophie said at the exact same time.
The two girls looked at each other and the two guys looked at each other. They all shook their heads and forced themselves to forget how strange that just was.
Scott and Shelby went and sat down at a table in the far corner of the kitchen while Peter and Sophie went to wake up the students. Scott and Shelby sat down next to each other and turned to each other. Shelby took a sip from her coffee as she saw Scott open his mouth to say something but changed his mind and closed it.
"Okay, how about I start then?" Shelby said.
"Huh?" Scott asked.
"You seem like you want to say something but can't figure out what so I'm going to start this conversation. I don't regret it, if that's what you're thinking."
"It wasn't" Scott defended quickly and then continued softly. "At least, not really. I didn't think you regretted it but I wasn't sure how you felt about it."
"Scott, it was wonderful." Shelby smiled.
"Yeah, it was." Scott smiled as well. "But it also complicated things a lot."
"I know," Shelby looked down and then back up. "What do you want to do?"
"That depends on which complication you're talking about."
"I was thinking Anita first, considering she's the lesser of the two."
"I want to be with you, Shelby. But I'm not going to break up with Anita unless I know you're not going to leave me again,"
Shelby closed her eyes when Scott talked about her leaving.
"Scott..." Shelby started but was at a loss of words.
"Shelby, I didn't mean to imply that that was your plan but I want to make sure that you want me as much as I want you." Scott said and touched Shelby's cheek with his hand which made her open her eyes. "Do you want to be with me?"
Shelby looked into Scott's eyes. She wanted to say something but couldn't. She thought that saying 'yes' would be too simple. Shelby leaned into Scott and kissed him on the lips, showing that she did want to be with him. She pulled away and smiled at him. Scott smiled down to her.
"I'm guessing that I can take that as a yes?" Scott asked with a smile still on his face.
"Yes, you can," Shelby said.
"Okay. The only request I have for you when it comes to me breaking up with Anita is that you're there."
"Are you sure that that's a good idea, Scott?"
"I don't care if it's a good idea or not. I want you there with me. I always want you there with me."
Shelby pulled Scott to her in another kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he put on of his hands to the back of her head and pulled her closer to him so that she was now sitting on his lap. It made the kiss deeper, stronger and if it was even possible more passionate. They forgot everything; they forgot where they were, who was around them, and anything else but that they were together.
"Mommy?" Jena asked as she watched her mom make out with Scott.
Shelby and Scott pulled abruptly away from the kiss and looked at their daughter. They looked at Jena, glanced at each other quickly and then back at Jena. They both smiled and chuckled nervously as Jena gave them both confused looks.
