Chapter 35: Missie Mitchie Busy

It was a day after the reunion and Shane was driving his way to the hotel where Mitchie and their friends were staying. He offered his house for them to stay in but they declined since it was too much since Shane was the one who provided the limousine last night. So to make them even more embarrassed but not really meant to be, he was the one who paid for their hotel stay.

"You are mean, you know that?" Mitchie told him as soon as they found out that Shane paid for their expenses.

"Well, you won't let me have you at the house so I'll just pay your night stay. And besides, you are my guests…" Shane explained.

"Babe, we came here for the reunion so you don't have any obligation…"

"Well, you are right about that but after the reunion, and I am asking you guys to stay since it's my sister's birthday, you'll be my guests so I am going to be obligated with you." Shane said. It was his indirect way of inviting them for his sister Lynette's surprise birthday party. "Well, Lynette's birthday is tomorrow and I want this year to be special because we made up and we're close again. And that is a very big thing. So I am inviting you guys to stay and celebrate with us. So how does that sound?"

"Of course I'm in! Actually, I am planning of extending my stay here because of that." Tess said. Well, since she and Jess are getting married, he will be going with her too. Peggy, Justin, Ella, Phoebe, Caitlyn and Nate also agreed to join in. Mitchie meanwhile was having double thoughts.

"Mitch?" Shane asked.

"Um… It's just that…" Mitchie's phone went off and it was a call from Tristan. "I'll just get this and I'll get back to you…" she took her phone and answered… "Tristan?" she called as she left the room.

Shane sighed.

"Hey Mitch, I was just wondering if you'll be coming back today or tomorrow?" Tristan asked

"I still am not sure. Why?"

"Well, if it's fine with you… can we reschedule the marketing report to tomorrow? Jason and I were planning of bringing your dad to the golf course on Thursday…"

"Tomorrow? But I haven't finished the report…" Mitchie said.

"What? Are you planning on cramming it Mitch? You know your dad expects a lot from you…" Tristan said.

"I know that. But it's just I had been to a lot of functions these past few days…" Mitchie said.

"Okay, I'll just tell your brother that maybe we can do it tomorrow and have the report on Thursday…"

"Thank you Tristan… I owe you…"

"Oh… you do…" Tristan smiled. "So I'll see you on Thurday?"

"Of course, I'll be there."

"Mitch, promise me that you'll finish it today or tomorrow?"

Mitchie took a deep breath. "Ok." Then they hung up. She didn't know what to do now. She wants to stay for Lynette's party but she also have to finish her report. When she was done contemplating… she returned back to her friends who were busy talking about the surprise party.

"So are you on?" Shane asked.

Mitchie took a deep breath. "Shane… Fine… But I just have to work tonight so I can't help you guys set the whole thing up. I really have a big presentation on Thursday so I have to finish it tonight."

Shane lit up and ran to her and swung her around. "You are the best!" he said and gave her a quick kiss. "My parents would love to meet you…"

"Okay… you made me more nervous now!" Mitchie said. And then her phone went off again. Shane sighed as she went outside and took the call.

This time it was Lizzie…

"Shane, please be patient with her…" Caitlyn told Shane. "She's really having a hard time at the company and she needs you…"

Shane smiled weakly and nodded. Yeah but I can't help but feel that I'm just second to her work.

Mitchie went back inside the room and seeing that Shane was left alone there. The girls and the other guys went out to have lunch.

"Hey, I'm so sorry…" Mitchie told him.

"It's okay…" Shane said even though it hurts him. He then took her to his arms.

"Hey, you are always my first priority okay?" Mitchie told him.

Shane rose his brow. "Huh?"

"I can read it in your eyes that you feel like you're just second to my work…" Mitchie said.

"Are you psychic?"

"No. I just love you that much." Mitchie said. "Shane, after this, I'm resigning…"

"What? But isn't your work…"

"Yeah. But I'm not happy with it. No matter what I do, dad won't see me like his daughter like before. And besides, I don't want to screw our relationship just because I am so busy."

"Hey, if you are doing this because of me…"

"No. I am doing this for us…" Mitchie told him and kissed him on the lips.

"I love you, you know that right?"

Mitchie smiled and nodded. "Comon' take me out to lunch then I'll start on my report so I can enjoy the day with you and your family tomorrow…"

"Okay… I have the perfect place for us…" Shane said and led her to his car.
