A/N: Okay, thank you guys soooooo much for the reviews they really mean a lot to me, seriously. I love you guys. Please keep reviewing as that is what will get the next chapter up sooner.
I feel like a total idiot now cause I realized i typed 'kitchen' as 'kitchin' every time in the first chapter. Soryy for that. Now, ENJOY =]
As soon as I thought I was out of sight I ran the rest of the way to my front door and quickly closed it behind me. Macy was still playing outside, oh the joys of being a kid! I grabbed some ice from the fridge, lucky that my mother was no where in sight, and sprinted up the perfectly tiled staircase holding the golden railing for support, just in case my mind tries to remind me the zillionth time in 2 minutes that I had held Shane Grays hand and HE....yes. The Shane Gray said he'll see me around. Oh my dear god, is this a dream? I asked myself as I crashed into my bed. My head was spinning in all directions and even though I felt like it was a song moment, I couldnt bring myself to get my diary out of the bedside drawer, just centimeters away from me.
I slept for what seemed like hours, my stomach churning in hunger. All I wanted to do really was stare at him all day. I saw him smile today, two times, but I know he wasn't happy. There was something missing in that smile, something that was prestent before the summer but is missing now. I knew from what I could judge that his heart was broken, but why? I also knew that some girl had a hand in this, but I seriously cannot imagine any girl who would like to break Shane Grays heart, he's too perfet for that.
I woke up by the sound of someone knocking at my door. probably mom I thought as I glanced at the clock "7:13" It stated. Dinner would be any time now. I moaned as I lazily turned my body over and got out of bed to open it.
I opened the door, my eyes still a little hazy from sleep, but my back feeling much better.
Nate stood on the other side of the door, his curly hair bouncing up and down in laughter as he looked at me. I didnt know how to react. Is there a book on "What to do when one of the worlds most famous rockstar is knocking on your door?", if there is I seriously need to own a ccopy.
"I'm sorry, did i wake you?" He asked, still laughing a little.
I straighted put my clothes and my hair and smiled. "No, I needed to wake up now anyway, it's nearly dinner time and i need to get my homework finished."
"Ahh, homework! Glad I dont have to do that anymore!" he cackled. "Anyway Mitchie, I came to ask about your back. It didn't seem too good after you collided with Shane" concern flooding through his eyes.
Now I knew why Caitlyn liked him. "I'm fine, dont worry" I assured, realizing he was still standing at the door. "Hey, come in" I ordered. I instantly regretted my decision of asking him inside. I'm sure he would run out the instant he saw the posters I had of them in my room not to mention the Connect 3 photo frames, pencils, rubbers, sharpners, I even have sticker books of them!......I dont use any of the stuff, I just like collecting them. yeah...laugh all you want.
He let out a little laughter as he scanned my room, his eyes gleaming with delight as he set eyes on my Guitar, then he saw the posters.I wanted to sink into the ground. My face was red in embarrassment and I could see his cheeks go a little red too. I saw him open his mouth to say something, but he closed it again.
I sat on the couch on the far side of the room which leaned against a giant wall that had been knocked down and replaced by glass, so technically 3 walls and one huge piece of glass made up my room. I love light and the open so I had my room made that way. I think it's quiet beautiful, painted in the most glorious shade of lavenda and furnished with dark brown wood.
I pat the seat next to me motioning for him to sit, I was no longer embarrassed. I dont know why, but I felt at ease around him, he made me feel comfortable. "So, are you liking Miami?" I inquired.
"I love it here!" He exclaimed. "Actually, everytime we used to go on tour this used to be my most favourite place. The beaches here are so gorgeous, better than the ones in California, thats why I chose the house we live in here cause its so near the beach."
I grinned. Truth is that I love beaches I could sit by the ocean all day and not want to leave. There is something about the sond of waves crashing and its serene atmospthere that draws me to them.
"That's great! Do the others like Miami as much?" I asked hoping Shane loved it as much as his younger brother.
His face dulled a little. "Jason likes it here. He thinks its really cool, but Shane.." he paused. "He used to like it before...lets just say he needs a little time to settle down and check with reality. I know he misses LA and......he misses..he misses her, but we're here for his good." He said trying to finish the sentance. I could see that he couldnt find the words to explain Shanes condition and when he said her that confirmed my girl theory. I felt my heart die a little as I heared Nate speak about Shane and that girl but I didn't emphasise on it. I already had a room stacked with Connect 3 goods and I didnt want to sound like a crazy fangirl by inquiring about thier love lives eventhough it took me ever ounce of will power to restrain from doing so.
"Talking of Jason, where is he? I didnt see him at your place today."
"Oh, he was taking a look around the neighbourhood"
"You know Nate, I'm still kind of freaking out that I'm not freaking out that you're sitting next to me and talking to ME!" I admitted. "That, is if you get what I mean" Ohhh listen to me I sound so confused he must think im some crazy fan who worships the ground they walk on, seriously.
" I like that you're not freaking out. I really like your company and think we will make great friends, plus now I know someone at school." He grinned.
I grinned back too but before I could say anything my mom screamed for us to come downstairs and have dinner.
" Come on Nate, time to feed our stomachs." I declared as we got our of my room. He shot another glace at the Connect 3 poster I had stuck on the wall in front of my bed so it was in clear view whenever i wanted to see it. I swear I heared him chuckle.
" I think that I should be going home now, maybe we could hae dinner some other time." He suggested
" Come on Nate, it wont take long. My mom isnt that bad of a cook." I joked
" I know she isnt." He agreed. "I had a brownie. It was amazing, but before I could get another one Shane and Jason had gulped down the whole lot."
We walked down the stairs still talking. I finally managed to convince him to have dinner with us. Both my parents loved him. I was surprised at how much knowledge he had talking on all subjects with my father such as music, politics, the economy and so much more.
I waved him goodbye as he left after dinner. A huge smile was plastered across my face, I knew already that we were good friends.
I fell asleep late at night...maybe at 3am or 4am but in the morning I felt refreshed. I still couldnt get my head around the fact that Nate gay was my friend, he sat on my couch and talked to me and I, Mitchie Torres had met Shane Gray. This was a dream, surely......a dream that I didnt want to wake up to.
I drove off to school early the next morning and parked at my usual spot. I still hadn't told Caitlyn or Justin about what had happened the night before. I wanted to see their reaction in person, specially Caitlyns she would probably jump up and down so high that she could reach Mars.
I waited for Caitlyn by my locker, listening to my ipod when she finally arrived. The school was still quiet, students were just begining to stream in.
"Hey girl, hows the future Mrs. Shane Gray doing today?" she enthusiastically asked.
"Sshhhh Cait!" I hissed, but before she could reply I saw the most angelic face smile up on me.
"Hi Mitchie, I'm sorry about yesterday, I hope you're okay now." Shane asked. For a second I stood there still, lost into his golden brown eyes. I forgot how to speak and breathe and I guess Caitlyn did to. She stared at me and Shane in confusion before I finally spoke up. "Im great Shane" Ofcourse I am, I'm staring at you.
"That's good to know. the brownies were awesome by the way, I had like eight of them. Could you like give me the recipe or teach me how to make them?" He asked. ofcourse I could but before that you'd probably need an ambulance on standby just incase my heart decides it can no longer beat in the presence of Shane Gray since his mere presence makes my little heart useless.
"I'd love to Shane" I assured.
Caitlyn just stood there in shock I couldnt help but laugh to my self as one of Connect 3's songs were ringing in my mind. Now i'm speechless, over the edge, I'm just breathless.....Shut up Mitchie.
"That would be great Mitchie" He smiled and my breathing became uneven once again. God!! A little bit of will power please?
"Hey, by the way this is Caitlyn" I said looking towards her.
"Hi" She smiled, I guess that is all that she could do.
"Oh, so you're Caitlyn" He gasped. "Nice to meet you, I've wanted to meet you" He grinned.
Caitlyn starred at me as if she was missing a inside joke. How could I tell her that Nate likes her? If I told her know she would probably flip in front of Shane and I definately didnt want that.
"I have to go now, see you guys later" He put his hand on my left shoulder, his touch buring into my skin and his smile so mesmerizing I needed to remind myself to breathe and with that he left. Caitlyn shot a glance at me her eyes saying spit-it-all-out-girl-or-you're-toast.
I looked around the now crowded corridoor, nearly each and every girl giving death glares at me. "Not here" I told Caitlyn as I dragged her to the bathroom. This was definately going to be a interesting conversation.
A/N: Hope you guys enjoyed it. Sorry for not having much of Smitchie in it, but I promise the next chapter will have loads of Smitchie parts, Just bare with me.
Review and let me know what you think....=] would like around 5 reviews before I post the next chapter.
