Chapter 17: In Denial
Caitlyn and Nate was expecting a happy atmosphere to return to right after what they saw at Locandro's Wedding, Mitchie and Shane getting along well. But they just arrived in time to experience the storm after the calm.
Caitlyn was cooking in the kitchen and Nate was helping her. They really do love to do stuff together no matter how boring and stressful they may be. Well that must be really love.
"Yeah. We are together Mitch." Caitlyn told her best friend who was sitting by the counter looking at the two lovebirds cooking together.
"Wow! That's great!" Mitchie stood up and hugged her best friend. Then she hugged Nate.
"Am I not going to have a hug?" Shane then appeared out of no where and with his tone, it sounds like he was mocking Mitchie. Caitlyn and Nate rolled their eyes and just continued to cook and do their own stuff. They knew what was to come.
"Ha! You have the nerve to ask me that?" Mitchie called and went to the living room.
Shane followed her and sat on the couch raising his brow. "Did you just ask me that? Why Mitch? Aren't we on good terms anymore?" Shane smirked.
"No. Because I have mastered all of your stupid moves!"
"Moves? What moves?"
"That! You'll go near the girl you like to date, talk to her a little, then take her out on a contract date, and next thing you are going to steal her a kiss. And next thing she's your girlfriend for crying out loud."
"Wow!" Shane stood up and went near her, but she stepped back. "Clap! Clap! Clap! Mitchie Torres knows everything about my style. But wait, weren't you the one who stole a kiss from me?"
Mitchie stared at him eyes opened so wide. "I did not!"
"I told you, you didn't want to know what happened the other night." Shane smirked. "You know what? Since you have already kissed me, why don't you just date me?"
"Date you? You wish!" Then she darted out of the living room and back to the kitchen with arms folded across her chest. Shane then followed her.
"Why not?"
"Why not? Because you have been everybody's boyfriend!"
"Everybody but you! Is that why you are in denial that you like me so much?" Shane smirked.
"Excuse me! What do you get when you break the hearts of many girls huh?"
"What are you saying? I hate break ups. I have bad feelings towards hurting girls you know."
"Then don't hurt them! Easy as that! You don't even stay long enough on a relationship to make it work!"
"Aha! That must be why I never tried to date you way back high school! Because you are no fun Mitchie! You're no fun!"
"Like I said, I never dreamed of being your girlfriend!"
Shane then circled around her blabbering "Deny! Deny! Deny!"
"Thick face! Thick face! Thick face!" Mitchie shot back.
"You know what you don't have to deny things. It's okay." Shane blabbered as Mitchie continued to blabber that he has a very thick face, and feeling so handsome.
Then Caitlyn went to Mitchie and covered her mouth. "Stop!" Caitlyn called and Shane laughed. But Nate himself shut Shane up too by covering his' best friend's mouth.
When they were both calm now, Mitchie scowled at Shane and started to exit but Shane called to her, "Hey, Mitchie remember! Before you go back to the States, you are going to fall for me!"
"Keep on dreaming Shane!" She shot back.

Mitchie was at the front porch again but this time she was working on her project again.
Shane saw her and approached her.
"Shane, I am not on the mood to fight with you." She said still scribbling down things.
Shane sat beside her and just watched her work. Then Mitchie was starting to get annoyed and she faced him.
"What do you want Shane?"
"You really don't like me huh?"
Mitchie smirked. "Shane, for the nth time! Please, believe me, you are not my type and you are not part of any of my plans while staying here."
"But it doesn't looked that way as what I have observed for the past days and especially that night." Shane smirked back.
Mitchie is now boiling, she can't believe that Shane is bringing it up again. "Say whatever you want, I don't like you."
Then Shane started to touch her things but she took them away from him. "Don't you have any plans of going home? What are you doing here in Greece?"
"Nothing."
"Don't you have any plans of opening the Taverna? By the way, an old man passed by the other day and told me it's story."
"Ah, that must be Eduardo. He was the owner before Kostas. Well, since he already spoke to you, I guess you know the story now."
Mitchie nodded.
"Actually, I don't have any plans of opening it up today or for the next few days, I really don't need money yet."
"You. What about your employees? Their families?"
"They will come back when the time comes I will need their service. But for the meantime, they can do whatever they want. Just like me, they can have a life."
"It's pointless that you volunteered to buy the Taverna yet you don't have a plan of gaining profit from it. It's your responsibility to manage that business well. You owe that your employees and to their families."
"Whatever. Hey, let's just cut this crap talk and talk about us." Shane winked at her.
She just glared and went back to whatever she was doing.
