Chapter 12: Stuck at the House
The next day, Mitchie woke up late. Then she walked down to the kitchen and found Shane reading a note.
"What's that? Where's Caitlyn and Nate?" Mitchie asked Shane in an irritated voice.
"A note from them. Looks like they took off and went to the other side of Santorini. They will be back in two days." Shane explained.
"What?" Mitchie kind of raised her voice.
"Oh. Someone's in a bad mood." Shane teased.
"Don't start on me Shane or I'll chuck your head off that body." Mitchie told him as she trailed her hand on her head, she was having a terrible morning headache.
Shane just shrugged it off and motioned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Mitchie asked.
"Well, since you are in a bad mood and I really don't want to argue with you, I plan on taking off. Why?" Shane told her.
"Why don't you just open the Taverna so you can atleast help your staff gain some money. With it closed all the time, they are off without jobs." Mitchie told him. She was squinting, obviously she was not feeling well.
"They are free to go whenever they want. And I am not on the mood to open the business. Besides, I just bought it because a friend asked me to. He's off with his 'true love' to Mexico and having their 'true love time'" Shane bitterly explained. Emphasizing on his bitterness to True Love.
Mitchie can't think straight now. She was getting dizzy and then she went off to dim light.

Mitchie woke up feeling ill and having the most horrible headache she ever had. When she opened her eyes, it was Shane she first saw.
"What happened?" She asked him.
"You fainted. Mitch, your temperature was too high. You should have told us you were not feeling good." Shane told her.
"I didn't knew too. When I woke up I just feel uneasy." Mitchie said.
"Now, since Caitlyn and Nate are out of reach and they are having their happy time, you are stuck with me. Give me your brother's number and I'll tell him about…" Mitchie cut him off.
"Shane, please don't, he'll just worry. He has too much work to do and besides he also has a family to worry about." Mitchie pleaded.
"Alright." Shane said. "Now lie down again and I'll just get your soup. Don't worry, though I am not that good of a cook since Nate's the one doing the cooking around here, I kind of have friends who know how to cook so don't worry, they taught me well." Shane told her.
Mitchie smiled at him. "Thanks Shane."
Then Shane left and got her the soup. Who knew, a guy like him has a heart? That must be why he also has many friends around here. He's just a bad boyfriend though.
Then Shane came back and brought her a tray filled with medicine and a bowl of soup. A flower vase with a white rose was also on it. Then he put the tray beside Mitchie and helped her sit up.
"Hey, how'd you know I love white roses?" She asked.
"I didn't. I just kind of guessed based on your personality." Shane said.
"Really? I didn't knew such thing as reading someone's favorite flower ever existed." Mitchie said.
"Don't think about it. Just think of getting well, it's not fun not having someone to bicker with." Shane joked.
"I kind of liking this situation now, your gentleman side is showing." Mitchie stuck out her tongue.
"Oh, you are enjoying this. You must really like me huh? Taking advantage of the situation?"
"Shut up!"
"That's the Mitchie I knew." Shane ended and spoon fed her with the soup he prepared.
"Hey, your soup is not that bad."
"Humble me is showing too." Shane winked and Mitchie just stucked out her tongue lamely.
That afternoon, Shane didn't left Mitchie alone instead he helped her get well. He reminded her of all the medicines she needed to take and made her comfortable.
It seemed Mitchie ate something bad when they went out that was why she had a stomachache which ended to a fever.
When Mitchie was well enough to move around, she and Shane played cards just to ease the boredom.
"Those cream puffs must have triggered my stomachache." Mitchie said as she shuffled the cards.
"How come?"
"I remembered my brother telling me not to eat those because there is something in it that I am allergic to. I forgot what it was but that must be the reason." Mitchie explained.
Shane noted about this and nodded.
"Shane, thank you for taking care of me." Mitchie said.
"It's not a big deal." Shane told her.
"Yes it is. So you can now go since I am already fine. Have fun and hang out with your friends."
"No. I am going to stay here with you. Who knows you'll faint again."
"I am fine now."
"But I don't want to and besides I am having fun with you in here anyway."
Mitchie smiled at what he said though she didn't want to. She was starting to like him but she doesn't want to. He'll just hurt me like what he did to my friends.
Then after playing cards, Shane and Mitchie slept early, Shane sleeping on the couch inside Mitchie's room.
