Chapter 2: Dinner
Shane dropped the love of his life at her house and walked her up to the door. Her flowers still in her hands.
"I will, for whatever you have planned." Shane chuckled.
"I'm not going to tell you." Shane leaned forward and kissed Mitchie's pouted lips. "Be ready, love." With that Shane left her, so he could get ready himself.

As soon as the clock struck four, Shane was at Mitchie's house. He had instructed Caitlyn and Sasha on the outfit Mitchie needed for their date tonight. Something formal, that she can move in and be comfortable. But also made her beautiful. But he had no idea, what Sasha, Caitlyn and Mitchie had picked out and was quite excited to see it, and scared.
Shane rang the doorbell, trying to calm his rapid beating heart. "Coming!" He heard Mitchie yell, and opened the door. His heart skipped a few beats, and his mouth fell.
Mitchie was wearing a nice beige blouse that perfectly accented her upper figure, and a grey petticoat. Separating the difference from her bottom figure and her upper better then a corset could ever do.
"Wow," Shane breathed after a few minutes at looking at her. "You look beautiful." Mitchie blushed.
"I need to grab two things so come right in," Mitchie invited him in. "Be right back." Shane watched Mitchie run up the stairs to gather whatever she needed.
"What time will she be back by?" her father asked as he approached Shane.
"Probably by ten, eleven at the most," Shane replied. "But it's mostly whenever we can get out."
Steve nodded his head slowly. "Where are the… events going to be again?"
Shane had asked Mitchie's parents permission to take Mitchie out and for one other thing, so they knew what he was planning.
"In the city." Steve nodded again.
"All right. I trust you now, so don't disappoint me."
"I'm ready!" Mitchie descended back down the stairs, her mother following behind her. The front of her hair was back in a simple ponytail; the rest was loose and cascaded down her back with the beautiful straight hair. A simple grey embroidered shawl was wrapped around her shoulders. A dainty purse hanged on her shoulder.
I so don't deserve her, Shane thought as she descended. She was perfect, nice, and beautiful in both mind and body. He was just a hormonal boy that was trying to find himself, but found it in her.
"You keep on growing more beautiful every time I see you," Shane complimented her. She blushed a deep red.
Mitchie quickly hugged her parents and kissed them on the cheek. "I'll see you later tonight, Dad, Mom," Mitchie said as Shane offered her his arm. She took it, and was escorted out of her house and into his car.
He walked over to the driver's side and turned the engine over and started to drive.
"So are you going to tell me where we're going now?" Shane had kept the event he had planned a secret from Mitchie. He wanted it all to be a surprise.
"Hmm, should I tell you or should I not," Shane said as he weighed the decision. Mitchie gave him her puppy dog pout. She knew he couldn't resist her adorable wide eyes and pouted lips.
"First stop is a fancy dinner," Shane finally said. He couldn't resist her for the life of him.
"Was that why Sasha and Caitlyn took me out on like thousand dollar shopping spree, which Sasha paid for every scent practically?" Mitchie asked.
"Thousand dollar shopping spree? I only said you needed formal wear." Shane was surprised to hear that his best friend, and Nate's girlfriend had transformed the thing into a spree.
"Well we got other things then just formal wear, but that was the main part. Sasha even made sure Caitlyn had a few." Shane felt a chuckle leave his mouth. Wait till Nate hears about that, Shane thought evilly.
"On to another subject," Shane chuckled. "I was talking to my manger and your parents okayed it. But next year, we're going on tour. And I want you to be our opening act. Will you?" Shane saw out of the corner of his eye, Mitchie's eyes grow wide and look at him in shock.
"Seriously? What happened if I'm a flop?" Mitchie asked.
"Trust me with James as your manager and Caitlyn as your producer. You'll do fine. Possibly even better then me," Shane assured her. "And sometime the best way to get your music out there is by touring with a popular band. So will you accept?"
Mitchie thought for a few seconds. "Yes!"

Shane pulled up in front of a fancy restaurant that even had valet services. A valet approached the couple.
"May I take your car?" the male asked.
"You may," Shane said and passed the man the keys. He was given a number from the man. "Come on, Mitch. Welcome to the second part of your valentine's day."
Shane wrapped his arms around Mitchie's waist and she around his. 'I don't think I have ever been anywhere this fancy before," Mitchie said softly.
"Only difference is price and better food. Just think you're in an Applebee's or something," Shane soothed as they entered the fancy restaurant. All around were candles that accented the couples talking to each other quietly. The hostess was waiting patiently at a small podium with an official book in front of her.
"Hello!" She said brightly. "Do you have a reservation?"
"Yes, the Torres party," Shane said.
"Ah yes," the woman said in a slight surprise. She picked up a few menus. "Follow me." She led them to the back and outside to an empty patio sole for a lone piano player.
The hostess led them to a table with a plain white tablecloth. Two candles were set up on either end of the small table as accents to the already waxing light. It was set up next to an iron wrought rail that overlooked the glistening city.
"Oh it's so beautiful," Mitchie gasped as Shane pulled the chair out for her.
"I'm glad you like it," Shane said thoughtfully as he pushed her in and sat him self down. The hostess left and quickly came back with a breadbasket and a jug of water, which she quickly used to fill their cups.
"Your waiter should be here shortly, Have a great night," the hostess said and departed.
Shane couldn't help but notice how beautiful looked with the sun hitting her face at its forty-five degree angle, and the candles glistening in her hair. She looked like an angel. A breath-taking angle from heaven. Mitchie opened her menu and quickly scanned through it.
"Shane did you notice how expensive everything is?" Mitchie asked and looked up at Shane. Her usual warm brown eyes looked golden in the mixture of light. "And you look exactly like a lovesick puppy."
"I feel like a lovesick puppy," Shane said honestly and watched as Mitchie's cheeks turned a slight pink. Shane smiled brightly at her. "And yes, I know the price when I choose this restaurant. But do realize that I have more money then I know what to do with, so choose anything your heart desires."
Mitchie turned a light shade of red and giggled, "You are so spoiling me. Stop it."
"I don't think I can," Shane said as he looked deep into Mitchie's brown golden orbs. "For there is no one else I would rather spoil then you." Shane reached across the table and squeezed Mitchie's delicate, soft hand lovingly. He leaned over across the table and whispered into her mouth before giving her a sweet kiss, "And you know I love seeing you blush like that."
Mitchie kissed him back just as softly and lovingly. When they broke her eyes were playful. "That's quite a compliment coming from the Shane Grey. The most sought after boy. The one of the main heartthrobs of America."
"Yes," Shane agreed. "And they're reserved only for you." He leaned forward to kiss her again but she giggled and ducked do Shane was kissing her hair. It smelled of cinnamon vanilla, sweet and delicious. The piano player continued to play a beautiful, romantic tune.
Shane noticed the waiter approaching them and pulled away from Mitchie reluctantly. "Hello, I'm Charles," the waiter said once he reached the table. A white satin napkin was draped over his arm, a little book in his hands. "What may I get you lovely couple today?"
"Umm," Mitchie said she scanned over the menu and placed in her order. She really does look beautiful in this light. I hope she accepts, Shane thought and felt butterflies enter his stomach at the thought of what he was going to do later that night.
Mitchie finished her order and Shane quickly gave his. The waiter took the menus and left the couple alone with the piano man.
"So how were your peers today after I dropped you off," Shane asked as he ate a soft breadstick, vaguely remembering the shocked looks on the Mitchie's peers faces after he had kissed her good-bye when he dropped her off later that day.
"Nosy. 'Who was that boy – Where did you get him? A few even said that I couldn't be yours. But I never gave away your name, and said I met you at camp over a summer, and that I was so glad and felt so special to be yours," Mitchie whispered to him, her eyes and tone stating the truth. She leaned forward and placed a long, deep, passionate kiss on him. Shane kissed her back, making the kiss deeper.
Her soft lips pressing against his, her tantalizing sweet perfume, made Shane even more relied up and dizzy with her effects. When they broke apart Shane placed his head on her sooth cheek and rubbed his thumb across it.
"Have I told you, I love you, today?" Shane asked as he stared into his love's jewel like eyes.
"Yes, but I wouldn't mind hearing it again," Mitchie giggled softly.
"I love you Michelle Torres," Shane whispered to her. The piano player stroke up a smooth waltz. Shane quickly took a look over at the man and back at Mitchie. He got up, bowed to her, and offered her his hand. "May I have a dance with you?"
Mitchie smiled lovingly at him and accepted his hand. He put his hands on her hips, while she hung hers around his neck. Slowly the two danced in circles.
"Are we doing this right?" Mitchie asked as she stared up at him.
"What you don't like going around in circles?" Shane chuckled back remembering he first asked her out on a canoe ride that summer so long ago.
"No," Mitchie shook her head. "I love them. Hearts break but circle's go one forever." She rested her head on his shoulder.
"Then I circle you, Mitchie," Shane whispered into her neck.
"I circle you two Shane," Mitchie replied.
