Chapter 15

3 Months later…

Everything had gone great. Our lives had become partially drama free. Turned out Nate and Caitlyn had been dating for three and a half weeks without telling us. Brooke [fashion designer] had gotten over her eating disorder and went back to New York. Brooke [my daughter] had started kindergarten. Tess had forgiven me and I have decided to fully support her and stop being such a spotlight hog. Today was September 27. Brooke [my daughter] was celebrating her 5th birthday today at our house. All her friends were here, and it was packed! It's amazing how many friends a five year old girl can make in less than twenty days.

"Ms. Torres I have to go potty!!"

"I wanna eat cake."

"I WANT MY MOMMY!!"

"Chill out people!" Caitlyn yelled over the numerous whines and complains shooting out at Nate, Shane, Jason, Tess, Caitlyn, and I. The room went silent. Thank goodness!

"Good. Now, whoever has to go to the 'potty' line up behind Ms. Torres, whoever wants to eat, line up behind Shane, whoever wants to play, line up behind Jason, and whoever wants their mommy, come over here." Caitlyn directed. I laughed.

"Have fun taking those kids to the 'potty' Mitch." Shane joked and brought the girls into the kitchen. Jason walked out into the back door that led to the backyard with numerous amounts of 4-5 year old girls following him. I heard Caitlyn trying to comfort a few girls, while Tess just sat on the couch. Her face was pale and she was trying to hide the fact that she didn't want to be here. I brought the three girls behind me to the washroom and they took turns. While they were washing their hands, I peeked out the door.

"You okay, Tess?" I asked softly. She smiled weakly and nodded, closing her eyes again and lying down on the couch. I sighed, and turned my attention back to the three girls.

"I wanna play." One stated.

"I WANT MY MOMMY!" Another demanded. The third stood there silently. Thank you God.

After the long party, Brooke [my daughter] had fallen asleep in her bed. Nate and Jason went out with Caitlyn and Tess. Now, finally, it was just me and Shane, Shane and I, Mitchie and Shane, Shane and Mitchie, Smitchie. I loved our names together.

My gosh, I was in love.

Shane and I watched TV, joked around, kissed a little and just enjoyed the time that we had together. It was heaven. I haven't felt like this in ages. I was always taking care of Brooke or just trying to keep my head on my body!

"Want to go for a walk?" Shane suggested.

"Sure," I replied, "Let me just call a babysitter." I grabbed the phone and dialed Liz's number.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Hey Liz, do you mind babysitting Brooke?" I asked.

"Sure!!! I'll be there in about ten minutes." She responded.

"Thanks so much." I said gratefully and hung up.

Ten minutes later, Liz was standing on my door step, once again, hyperventilating about Shane Gray, my boyfriend.

After Liz getting Shane's autograph about five times, we finally left. Shane took me to the beach.

"Shall we dance?" He asked holding out his arm. I laughed.

"There's no music."

"Well then…" He started belting out 'My Girl' and I took his arm as we danced across the beach laughing. Shane stopped and took me into his arms bridal style.

"What are you doing?" I giggled.

"Let's go for a swim." He answered. My eyes bulged.

"I-I'm not dressed!!" I objected. We started moving and I tried stalling.

"I'm not either." He said and dropped me into the cold ocean. I came out of the water soaking wet.

"Shane Alexander Grey," I snapped, "GET IN THE WATER!!"

"No!!" He exclaimed. I walked toward him.

"Oh no, Mitch, on no!" And I tackled him to the ground.

"Mitchie!!" He yelled once we were out of the water. I smirked and walked toward the shore. He followed and we both took a seat on the sand.

"20 questions?" I offered. He nodded and wrapped his arms around my waist. After 4 rounds, 2 for each of us, it was Shane's turn once again. He stood up and pulled me up with him.

"What are you doing?" I questioned.

"Just don't talk okay?" I nodded.

"Mitchie, I love you. Always have, always will…no matter what happens. I promise I won't screw up again. But just…" He bent down onto one knee and pulled out a navy blue box, "Will you marry me?" Those 4 words I've been waiting for all my life. That was 14 letters that could change my life forever. Before I knew it, my face was saturated with tears, but I whispered out the answer my heart told me to.

"Yes!"
