About a month later,"I love you," Mitchie managed to slip through her happiness.

A smile was permanently planted on Shane's face. He slid out of bed and proceeded to put on his clothes for the school day. "Can we just stay here all day?"

Shane chuckled and quickly buckled up his belt, "No, we gotta get you to school."

"Yeah? What about you?" Mitchie grinned seductively at Shane.

He gave her a dazzling smile before kissing her on the forehead and getting up to fix his hair. Mitchie sighed and got up off the bed as her phone began to vibrate on Shane's night stand.

baby do u need me to take u to school? -Scott

Mitchie's smile fell just a bit before she flipped her phone shut and sauntered up behind Shane. As Shane was playing with the one piece of hair that wouldn't decide which side to go on, Mitchie placed both her hands on each side of his hips and pressed her body up against his. She left a trail of kisses down his shoulder and began to sway her body against his. Shane dropped the piece of hair and quickly spun around and grabbed Mitchie's waist. She smiled playfully beaming up at him.

"Mitchie, we seriously need to get going."

"Shaaane, it's okay if we're a period late. It's not that big of a deal, is it?"

Shane went around his room to look for his keys, "C'mon now, Mitchie. I've got to get you to school; otherwise, you might not be able to come over again."

"Shane, my parents wouldn't care."

"Mitchie, I don't really care if your parents don't care if you go to school or not. I care and so do my parents."

"Okay, but it's not like we'll be doing anything wrong."

Shane spotted his keys in the wrinkle of his sheets and quickly grabbed them and his textbook and spiral. "Mitch, please can we go? We can talk about it in the car."

Mitchie frowned but followed Shane out the door after grabbing her purse.

Shane began to drive to school paying attention to the road with both hands on the wheel. He noticed that Mitchie was quite quiet. He grabbed her hand and held it, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing."

"Something must be wrong, that's why you're so quiet."

Mitchie raised her voice in faux surprise, "Okay! You got me!"

Shane raised her hand to his mouth and gently laid a kiss on it.

"Scott texted me this morning." Shane quickly glanced over at Mitchie who was already staring at him waiting for a response. "Yeah, he asked me if I needed a ride to school."

After a few seconds of silence, Shane asked, "What'd you say?"

"I didn't answer."

"You should probably text him so he knows you have a ride at least."

"Yeah, but Shane. It's not like he has to know where I am all the time."

"Mitchie, he's still your boyfriend; so, I think he still has the right to at least be thoughtful of you. You've been dating for a little less than a year now right?"

"I guess, but sometimes it's like he's too concerned or something. He just wants to know what I'm doing all the time. He was texting me and like just giving me all this crap about how we don't talk anymore, how I don't spend enough time with him anymore and stupid stuff like that."

"So what is he thinking?"

"I think he thinks I'm cheating on him."

"But you're not?"

"But I'm not."

"You kinda are."

"With you?"

"Yeah."

"We haven't done anything bad."

"But we act like a couple."

"So, what are you trying to say Shane? Do you want to be a couple?"

"Do you really think that's necessary?" Alex flinched as Nate threw his sweatshirt at her.

Nate chuckled, "Yeah, you're super cute when you're irritated."

Alex jumped on Nate causing him to fall backwards onto his bed. Landing with a thud the two giggled. "I love you, baby." Alex began to kiss Nate with pecks of sweetness. Just as their kisses were becoming intense, the door to Nate's bedroom opened. They both looked up at the door.

"What are you guys doing?" Shane acted like a little kid as he walked into the room and plopped down onto the bed beside Alex laying on top of Nate.

Alex and Nate looked at each other before looking back at Shane. Nate proceeded to say, "Seriously Shane? You couldn't have knocked?"

"I could've but I know you wouldn't have opened it anyways."

Nate sighed, "Alright." Nate began to sit up which Alex reacted to and in turn stumbled off of Nate and sat up on the bed beside Nate. Nate grabbed Alex's hand in his. "So what's up Shane?"

"You guys just want to watch a movie or something? You know just chill?" Shane got up off the bed and walked toward Nate's T.V. stand and browsed through Nate's DVD collection.

Alex can watch movies but she had problems watching them in Nate's room. Every time they would "watch" a movie, they never actually "watched" the movie. It was always just her and Nate and it the movie always ended early normally with one or the other on top of the other. Alex vigorously shook Nate's hand and almost as if Nate was reading Alex's mind, a smile grew on his face. Alex whispered harshly, "Do something Nate!"

Shane finally picked a movie and popped it into the DVD player. He got back to the bed and settled down beside Nate. Nate pulled Alex in for a one arm hug and kissed her on her forehead and whispered, "Just enjoy the movie, it'll be fine." Alex snuggled up to Nate and rested her head on his chest with his arm draped around her.

About half way through the movie, Shane seemed pretty into the movie while Alex couldn't keep herself still. She had the urge to just jump Nate's bones. Well, get close to jumping his bones at least. Alex pushed herself off of Nate and sat up straight and leaned against the pillows like Nate and Shane. Each time Alex moved, Nate looked over and would just smile. He knew why she was moving away from him.

"So, Shane. How come you wanted to watch a movie?" Alex was carefully probing.

Shane cautiously began studying Alex and Nate's facial expressions, "Mitch and I have been spending a lot of time together and I just wanted to spend time with other people for once."

Alex nodded her head trying to get to the bottom of the matter, "So, what's really going on between you and Mitch?"

Shane sighed. "I don't know. We were like a couple for so long and then all of a sudden she decides she wants to give Scott another chance. That's just plain ol' stupid. I thought girls were the smart ones!"

Ahhh! I'm so sorry this chapter is so short. I had written this story a while back so I thought I had finished it already. Apparently, I didn't feel like continuing from this point and started writing in the future?... No worries though, I'll figure it out.

Anyways, I wanted to publicly mention that seldemxoxo is quite the lovely person, and her story is quite lovely also. She's the only one who's been reviewing all of the chapters lately and I just wanted to say thanks!
