Chapter 15: My Past, Your Past, Our Past

Shane let her pull him back. Mitchie, though tired and obviously very drunk, sat up and faced Shane.

"What is it Mitch?" Shane asked.

"You know why I am so mad at you?" Mitchie asked.

"Because I am a jerk and I broke your friends' hearts?" Shane asked back

"No. Because you stole a kiss from me back in high school." Mitchie admitted sleepily.

Shane raised his eyebrows. Guess this drunk Mitchie is much fun to be with. "When?"

"It was during a school dance. You were running from a girl named Tanya. And you approached me and kissed me so you can hide from her. Well, you escaped her, the same way you left me stunned and without a word but, "Hey, thanks!"" Mitchie smacked him on the shoulders playfully. "You are such a jerk even way back." Mitchie chuckled. "But don't worry, I have forgotten about it and moved on. I guess I am just fuming because you stole my very first kiss!" Mitchie chuckled again.

"Mitch, as much as I am loving everything you are saying, I think you have to get your sleep." Shane told her and motioned to help her lie down again.

"Uh-uh." Mitchie disagreed. "You have to return my first kiss…" Then Mitchie grabbed his face and put her lips on his. Shane hesitated at a moment there since he knew it was kind of 'taking advantage'. But hey, it was Mitchie who acted first. Anyway, the thing is, by the time Mitchie touched his lips, it felt like her lips fitted his'. Shane was loving every second of it. He deepened the kiss and wrapped his right hand behind Mitchie's neck and his left on her hair. Mitchie did the same and wrapped her arms around his neck. But then Shane snapped back to reality. This mustn't be happening. She's vulnerable at the moment. So Shane pulled back.

"Mitch, you are drunk and you need sleep." Shane told her.

Mitchie smiled. "Okay. Thank you. Please stay with me until Caitlyn arrives." Mitchie replied and lie down.

Shane nodded and smiled as he helped her settle on the bed. You sure are a surprise Mitchie Torres. Shane stroked her hair and caressed her face. Then he kissed her temple and smiled. He just sat there beside Mitchie, waiting for Caitlyn to arrive. Minutes after, Mitchie was sounding asleep already. Sounding, I mean snoring asleep. Shane chuckled softly. Mitchie Mitchie Mitchie… Where did you come from? I hope I am that guy who is meant for you. I would really love that. But I am never gonna be that guy, not to anyone and especially not you. I already hurt you even before, what more in the future?

Shane just looked at her throughout the night. Caitlyn and Nate sure picked a good time to stay up late. So after a few hours, Shane himself went to bed. Not his. But beside Mitchie.

The next day, Mitchie woke up with a headache.

"Ow! My head hurts!" Mitchie called as she put her hand on her head. Then she noticed that someone else was on her bed too. And it wasn't definitely Caitlyn. Shane.

Oh my gosh! What is he doing here? Wait? What happened last night? Then she checked her clothes, they were still there. So obviously I didn't had an irresponsible night. I am fully clothed. What did I do last night? Ugh! This is what I hate when I get drunk! I can't remember last night's events! Then Mitchie looked at him again and a smile crept on her face. He looks good even though he's sleeping. He sleeps like an angel. Mitchie smiled and got startled when Shane changed position and faced her but still asleep. Mitchie smiled more, she can see Shane's face more clearly now. She brushed off the stray hair that covers his eyes and got more shocked when Shane suddenly woke up and kissed her palm.

"Gotcha!" Shane called to her and smiled still lying down.

Mitchie got startled but just smacked him playfully. "Hey! What did you do that for?"

"Why were you staring at me?" Shane asked.

"I wasn't!"

"Yes! You were! And don't even deny it. You were touching my face." Shane called and sat up.

"I… uh…" but Shane cut her off before she even got the chance to rebut.

"You Mitchie Torres do really like me huh?"

"Nuh-uh!" Mitchie lied. "I don't like you!"

"But that wasn't what you said last night." Shane teased. He knew Mitchie can't remember anything. Because if she was fine last night, she wouldn't have kissed him. It would be a mortal sin for her.

"What? What are you talking about?" Mitchie asked.

"You can't remember? Oh my gosh Mitch. I am hurt!" Shane joked.

Mitchie was getting curious. He looks like not joking. What happened? What did I do? "What happened?" Mitchie asked and playfully smacked him again.

"Not telling!" Shane then zipped his mouth. Then he smiled naughtily at her.

"Ugh! Shane!" Mitchie playfully punched him. "Tell me! What stupid thing did I do last night?"

Shane eyed her. It wasn't stupid! "Secret." Then he stuck out his tongue at him and stood up.

Mitchie threw a pillow at him as he walked out.

Shane and Mitchie started to prepare breakfast for themselves. It seems Caitlyn and Nate took off again.

Shane & Mitchie,

Sorry we weren't able to say goodbye. Nate and I are going to continue our getaway. See you soon and please don't start a fire okay?

Caitlyn

"It looks like they're getting serious." Shane commented. He was frying an egg. It was a sunny side up, Mitchie's favorite egg cook style.

"Yeah. Caitlyn really likes your buddy." Mitchie said as she reread the note on her hand waiting for her eggs.

"That buddy of mine likes your best friend a lot too." Shane smiled as he approached Mitchie carrying the eggs that he cooked.

"Ooh! You can fry eggs!" Mitchie sarcastically spoke.

Shane eyed her and smiled. "Yeah. I know what I am doing every time, even last night, I may have got drunk but I know what I was doing." Shane joked. This struck Mitchie.

Mitchie glared at him. "Shane, will you spill it!"

"No. I think you wouldn't want to know too." Shane said and sat across her.

"Is it that bad?" Mitchie asked biting her lips.

Shane smiled. He love the way she was getting nervous. "No. But I promise you, you don't really want to know."

"Fine! Don't tell. I don't care anyway." Mitchie said, but uncertain. She do want to know.

"Okay. If you said so." Shane smirked. This is going to kill her! Shane laughed to himself.

Mitchie sat at the front porch of the house. It was cold so she got hold of a hot cup of chocolate drink. Then she realized a blanket suddenly wrapped around her. She looked up and saw Shane wrap it around her. She smiled at him.

"Thanks." Mitchie said and snuggled comfortably on the blanket.

"Sure." Shane said and flashed her his stunning smile. "So, what are you doing here?"

"Nothing. Just thinking." Mitchie said then she slipped her hot chocolate. She got to spill it on her legs. "Ow!"

Shane then checked if she got burned. "Are you okay?" Shane asked.

"Yeah I'm fine. Don't worry. I'll just go up and change." She took off the blanket off her and then Shane saw a big mark on her side waist. Her skin got shone when she stood up.

Shane stopped her and touched the mark. "What is this?" He asked curiously.

Mitchie covered her mark right away. "Um… it's nothing. I'll just go and change." Mitchie tensely told him and ran as fast as she can away from Shane.

What happened to her? Where on earth did she get that big injury mark?
