Previously…

Hours later, they arrived at Santa Monica beach and headed to a hotel. Mitchie and Alex couldn't believe they were checking on one of the most expensive hotels in Santa Monica. As they entered, Mitchie began taking pictures. After they checked in, they rode on the elevator.

Alex and Nate pulled away from the kiss and stared at each other. Alex couldn't say a word. She was too surprised to talk.

"Um, I'm sorry." Nate finally spoke up. "I didn't mean to."

"It's okay. Let's just- Let's just pretend this didn't happen." Alex said quietly as she swam back to shore. She quickly put on her clothes and grabbed her bag then ran back to her room. She locked the door and sat down in disappointment. Well, yeah, she liked Nate but it suddenly changed when he kissed her. He knew she didn't like guys who kiss her when they're not even together.

Nate swam as fast as he could to shore. He got the blankets and pillows and ran back to the room. He tried opening the door but it was locked.

"Alex… Could you open the door please?" Nate begged.

Alex sighed loudly and opened the door, avoiding his eyes. She quickly walked to her bed and sat down and covered herself with blankets (except her face part of course) and continued watching TV.

"Do you want something to eat?" Nate asked, trying to sound casual.

"No, thank you. I'm not hungry." Alex said; eyes still on the TV.

"Okay. I'll just go for a walk outside." Nate said as he headed to the door. Come on, Nate. Talk to her. Nate thought. "Um, Alex…" he said, walking towards Alex. "I'm really sorry about what happened awhile ago. I really didn't mean to do it. HONEST! Please don't be mad at me." Nate pleaded.

"I already told you, Nate. Let's just pretend that didn't happen." Alex said quietly.

"Okay. Sorry." Nate said as he went out.

"Shane..." Mitchie said as she went out of the bathroom, wearing only a bathrobe and wiping her hair.

"Yeah?" Shane replied, eyes on the tv.

Mitchie laid down beside him. Mitchie and Shane had only one bed inside their room.

Shane held Mitchie closer, placing her in his arms (You get what I mean, right? :D). Mitchie intertwined her hands with his and kissed his cheek.

"I love you, Shane." She said, looking at him in the eyes.

"I love you, too, Mitch." Shane said as he kissed Mitchie passionately. Not long enough, they were making out. Shane got on top of Mitchie and took of his shirt and kissed her again. Shane started to take off her bathrobe slowly.

Mitchie realized what was going to happen so she stopped him. "Shane... I'm not... I'm not ready for this yet." Mitchie finally said.

Shane pulled away and smiled. "I know. I was just waiting for you to tell me." Shane laughed.

Mitchie slapped his arm playfully. "Jerk."

"Hey, I may be a jerk but I'm the luckiest jerk to have you as my girl friend." Shane smiled as he pecked Mitchie's lips. "Do you wanna go for a walk?"

"Sure. I would love that. Let me go change first, okay? I'll meet you outside." Mitchie said as she got out of bed.

Shane got out of bed, as well and went out, waiting for Mitchie to finish changing her clothes. After how many minutes, Mitchie went out wearing a shirt with a vest, a black shorts and her favorite slippers.

It was almost 5 pm, Mitchie and Shane continued to walk at the beach (the sand part. XD). Mitchie was holding her pair of slippers in her right hand while her other hand was being intertwined with Shane's hand.

"So, how's your dad? Did he move on already?" Mitchie asked Shane as they walked.

"He's still sad about mom. We all are... Especially Nate." Shane said sadly. Shane's mom died 5 months ago and they still haven't move on. It was hard for them not to have a mom. No one would cook them breakfast or give them 'Good Morning Kisses'.

"Oh.. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have-"

"It's okay. I'm happy now... I have you, remember? And I'm sure mom's happy for me, too." Shane said sweetly. Shane let go of their hands and placed his arm around Mitchie. "I love you. I know I keep saying it but-"

Mitchie placed of a finger on his lips so he would stop talking. "I love you, too. And don't worry, I like hearing it anyway." Mitchie gave him a smile and kissed him.

"I made a song for you while I was away." Shane went on, "And I want you to hear it. I'm not sure if you'll like it but I hope you do."

"Of course, silly. Of course I'll like it!" Mitchie smiled.
