Chapter 3: Shane Gray

It was two days since Mitchie decided to go to Santorini. But before leaving, one of her friends was getting married and she was of course invited. At the reception, she and her friends were complete. There was Caitlyn, Tess, Ella, Jess, Cole, Aaron, Phoebe and the newlyweds Peggy and Justin.

"Oh my gosh! I never thought Mitchie would take the day off just to see us!" Tess joked.

"Tess, whatever!" Mitchie called and they all laughed.

"Yeah. I just missed you mitchie pie." Then Tess hugged Mitchie and they all laughed again.

"So I heard you and Caitlyn are going to Greece tomorrow?" Ella asked.

"Yeah. My brother bought me a vacation for my birthday and since it's expiring I have to use it as soon as possible." Mitchie explained.

"Good thing that thing was expiring and if it wasn't for sure Mitchie would continue to cancel it until she gets old." Phoebe told their friends.

"Hey, I also do other things than working!" Mitchie defended.

"Yeah right Mitch!" Caitlyn added.

Then they continued to chat and talked and then the newlyweds approached them.

"Congratulations!" the friends called to their friends who just got married.

"Thank you thank you!" Peggy called. "Mitch, thank god you are here!" Peggy called and went to hug her.

"I wouldn't miss your wedding for the world Pegs!"

"Good. Because if you skipped this just because of work, were not friends anymore." Peggy joked. "I was just joking. But you have to quit that job. Dear, you are going to end up living alone!"

"No I won't and I hang out with guys." Mitchie lied.

"Yeah. You do…" Caitlyn told her sarcastically.

"Fine! What's the big deal? I want to work! Is that bad?"

"Well it is when you just do all the time is work and no play!" Tess told her.

"Well, I have to prove something to my father."

"Mitch, he is your father and you mustn't prove anything to him just to gain his respect." Caitlyn told her.

"Okay. Let's end this conversation and this is Peggy and Justin's day, we must celebrate!" Mitchie called changing the subject.

Her friends gave in and they all had fun, dancing and chatting. Then after a few minutes of dancing, they returned to their table and as usual, chatted again.

"Oh my gosh! Is that Sophia?" Tess called pointing at the girl who just entered the reception.

The newlyweds weren't around so they had no one to ask.

"Yeah I guess that's her." Mitchie replied. "Hey, isn't she on rehab?"

"Yeah she was I heard. Her heart got broken." Jess told her.

"By who?" Mitchie asked.

"Shane Gray." Tess simply replied.

"Shane Gray? As in your ex? And Phoebe's ex? And Ella's ex? And Peggy's ex? And Caitlyn's ex?" Mitchie asked.

"Hey I didn't date him!" Caitlyn called. "But yeah, that Shane Gray."

"He's a freak." Mitchie said. "Tess dated him because of a dog. With a walk on the park with her dog and he was also passing by, they got tangled by the dog and fell and then the next day, they were already a couple."

"But he was sweet." Tess added. Then Jess eyed her. "But babe, you are much sweeter."

"Yeah, but in a blink of an eye, he broke your heart and moved on. Well, Phoebe on the other hand was smitten by him because of a bump on the road and her books fell, so he was obliged to pick them up for her. And then they touched skin and then the next thing I knew, they were already dating."

"He was a gentleman!" Phoebe called.

"And gentlemanly he broke up with you and left you to pieces. How gentle!" Mitchie told her sarcastically. "Then there was Ella, got by the guy just because he took a picture of the two of them. Ells, seriously? You dated him just because you two had a picture?"

"Hey, he's so handsome!" Ella said.

"Yeah and like with Tess and Phoebe, the 'it's not you but it's me' line. How cute! And lastly, my dearest Peggy." Mitchie got caught when the newlyweds went to them.

"What about me?" Peggy asked.

"You and Shane Gray."

"He's sweet, a gentleman and an Adonis!" Peggy called.

"Okay. I don't think I have to run down memory lane." Mitchie laughed softly.

Justin was eyeing Peggy now. Then Peggy told him. "Honey, you are more than him and besides, he's my past. But you are my future." Peggy then kissed him. "So what about Shane?"

"Well, Sophia's here. So we got to the Gray matter." Caitlyn told her.

"Oh, well, she just got out of rehab and we got to see her at a mall so it was rude to not invited her." Peggy explained. "So Mitch… what about you? Why didn't you date the guy?"

"Ha! I am not stupid as you. You knew he's a playboy and yet you went on and dated him." Mitchie told them. "and besides, he's arrogant and self-absorbed."

"Well, atleast we were happy for a time" Ella said.

"Wow! Good thing I wasn't here when that guy broke you to pieces!" Caitlyn added.

"By the way, where is he?" Tess asked. "The last I heard he's out of the country."

"I also don't know. Maybe he's still out there somewhere." Ella added.

"I think he's off to some island hooking up with every chick he gets to see." Mitchie ended the Shane topic.
