I walked up the steps, tears brimming my eyes. I took a deep breath and rang the bell.
"Coming!" I heard the sound of Nate's voice before the door flew open. Before I could fully process what was going on, I was pulled into a tight hug. I took a deep breath, Nate's cologne and every day smell filling my nose. It relaxed me as I wrapped my arms around him and gripped onto his sweater, burying my face into it. His arms tightened around me; one around my shoulders, the other my waist, as he pulled me tighter against him.
"Come inside" his voice was quiet as he slowly pulled away, keeping one hand on the small of my back and leading me inside. He closed the door behind us and I followed him to his room. I sat on his bed and took a deep breath and wiped at my face.
"What happened?" Nate asked as he sat beside me, putting a hand on my bent knee.
I looked at his hand before resting my head against his shoulder. "Just...just seeing him this morning...I just had to get out. He tried to apologize. But seriously, why apologize to me? I mean if he knew he was going to have to apologize about his actions then he shouldn't have even done it in the first place." I explained softly. Nate's thumb moved back and forth on my knee as he kissed my head.
"So you didn't get any explanation?" Nate asked
"No, I left too quickly. It just hurt Nate. I mean we just got engaged, he just proposed to me! What reason does he then have, to go out and get drunk? I mean...unless getting engaged to me really upsets him" My voice quivered.
"Mitchie, no. That can not be the reason. It is not the reason!" Nate argued.
"But, then why would he get drunk?" A tear rolled down my cheek. "If he was happy then he would have came home to me, his fiance!" More tears.
"Mitch" Nate took his hand off my knee and shifted, causing me to have to lift my head. He put both hands on my face, one of each cheek, and lifted it to look at him. "He loves you. He wants to be engaged to you. There is no way that he could be upset by it." He wiped those betraying tears with his thumbs. "You're an amazing and beautiful woman, Mitch. You make him the happiest any of us have ever seen him. You're the first girl he's ever been in such a serious relationship with. He's proposed to you before I have even gotten into a lasting relationship, and I'm the more mature one" we laughed lightly. "Don't ever doubt his love for you, or his happiness with you." He smiled his crooked smile.
I smile in return and nodded before throwing my arms around his neck, his going around my waist. "You always know how to make me feel better Natey boy."
"It's what twins are for." He kissed my temple and I relaxed against him, taking in his comfort.
. . .
We lay on his bed, my head on his stomach, as I lay sideways. He was going through emails on his phone and I was filing my nails. It's what I loved about hanging with Nate: we could be doing absolutely nothing, and saying nothing, and yet be so content and happy.
Nate sighed and put his phone on his chest before playing with my hair. I looked up at him and smiled "You okay there twin?"
"emails just stress me out" he chuckled and looked down at me. "how are the nails looking?"
"A lot more evened out, I would say" I giggled before sitting up and looking at the clock: 4:47pm. "Can we take a nap?"
Nate smiled and stood up walking over to the blinds and closing them. "Of course."
I grinned and kicked off my shoes before climbing under his comfy blankets and resting my head on a pillow. Nate chuckled and walked over to the light switch and shut it off, causing the room to be a lot more darker, more relaxing. Nate walked back over to the bed and climbed in. His bed was a king sized bed and super comfortable. Nate let out a yawn before settling in. I smiled and scooted over to him.
"Nate?" I whispered
"Yeah?" his eyes were closed.
"Can we cuddle?" I asked shyly.
Nate opened one eye "You want to cuddle?"
"Please?" I blushed
Nate chuckled and put his arm under me, gripping my waist and pulling me into him. I smiled and rested my head against his chest and rested my arm on his stomach. He let the hand that wasn't under and around me, lightly trail up and down my arm, calming me. Soon we were both asleep.
. . .
The sound of knocking took me out of my slumber. I glanced around, and realized I was still cuddled with Nate and that the knocking hadn't stopped. I lightly groaned and shook Nate awake.
"hm?" he slowly came out of his slumber.
"Someone is at your bedroom door" I whispered.
Nate groaned and climbed out his bed. He rubbed one of his eyes as he got to the door. He cracked it open and leaned against the frame.
"Caitlyn?" He was slightly shocked, but still tired.
"Hey Nate..." She sounded shy.
This was bad... so so bad. I looked at the clock: 10:52pm. What the hell was she doing here so late? Also damn, we slept late!
"Um wow, what's up? what brought you here?" Nate asked, not opening the door any wider.
"I know it's late, and I am so sorry to disturb you, I just...I was thinking about you" Caitlyn said softly.
shit shit shit! They were staring to work on things, things were starting to patch up. Oh my god, I am in Nate's room at almost 11pm with the lights off, clearly showing we were sleeping and oh my god she will completely take that the wrong way. I cannot make things worse! shit!
"what about me?" Nate asked
"How you were willing to work on things and work them out, and I just...I don't know. I really miss you. Having you around, being with you, everything." Caitlyn explained.
Nate sighed. "Meet me in the living room. We can talk okay?"
"Okay" Caitlyn said softly before walking away.
Nate shut his door and turned on the light causing me to squint. "Crap" he ran his hand through his hair.
"I am sorry Nate. I overslept and I shouldn't be here" I got up and Nate rushed over to me, stopping me.
"Mitch, it's fine. It's not that, it's just I don't understand why she had to come here to late at night." he sighed "please, it's late Mitch, and I don't want you driving this late. Stay. It's fine. I know we just slept for like 7 hours, but try to go back to sleep. I am going to go talk to her, I'll be back in here soon. Okay?"
I smiled and kissed his cheek "I love you twin"
"I love you too twin" He smiled and lifted the blankets for me to get back under.
...
Nate and I ended up going to starbucks the next morning for breakfast, before I headed to my house.
"Have you ever thought of getting your own place?" I asked Nate as we took a seat at a table.
Nate chuckled "Yeah, of course. I am planning to really look into it. Ya know, living with my parents while everyone else has branched out is rather strange."
I laughed with a nod of my head "and you're an adult now Nate boy."
"not with that nickname I'm not"
...
I walked into the house and everything was quiet. "Shane?"
I got no answer and I closed the door behind me. I let out a sigh and walked into the kitchen, sitting at the island. I took my phone out and clicked on Shane's name.
Shane, where are you? -Mitch
Out. -Shane
I rolled my eyes and clicked on twitter.
TheRealMitchieTorres: Why does life have to be such a rollercoaster? Right now I'm on the bumps and loops.
I tweeted before looking through my pictures. I smiled when I came upon a funny one of me and Shane. We were shoving whipped cream into each others faces with grins on our faces, and Nate snapped a picture.
I clicked on instagram and posted the picture
Caption read: No matter what life throws our way, even if it's as messy as whipped cream, at the end of the day, you're the one I want to be with forever. You can put a smile on my face in the smallest ways. You always take away my insecurities and hold me when I cry. You make my problems your problems, so that I don't have to go through them alone. I will always do the same for you. I love you. xo
I smiled and put my phone down before running upstairs to shower and change
. . .
When I got out the shower I heard the tv on in the living room. Scared, I stopped on the last step. "Hello?" no reply.
I held my towel tightly around me and slowly took steps towards the living room.
"Hello?!" I called again
Still no reply I inched towards the living room. When I got to the entry, Shane appeared from the kitchen causing me to jump and let out a slight scream. My hand flew to my heart and I took a deep breath.
"You okay?" Shane asked as his eyes roamed my body
"You scared the living hell out of me" I breathed "I didn't know you were here"
"Sorry. I texted you" You came closer to me.
"I left my phone in the kitchen" I explained
"I know, I saw it." He smiled and was now right in front of me. He lifted his hand and touched my damp face, before trailing it down my neck to my collar bone where he pushed my dripping hair behind my shoulder. I watched his face as he watched his hand, before his eyes lifted and met mine. He smiled innocently and it made me weak in the knees as I kept hold of my towel. With no shoes on my feet, Shane towered over me. I continued to look up into his eyes before speaking.
"You okay?" I asked him as he had asked me.
"Are we okay?" He asked in response.
"You tell me..." I raised an eyebrow.
Shane smiled again, and dipped his head, catching my lips with his. "I'm sorry Mitchie" He kissed me again "for getting drunk." again "for arguing with you" again "for everything" again "I love you" again "with everything of me" And again, but this time he didn't separate us. Instead he pushed me against the wall, his body touching mine. His hands placed one behind my neck, the other on the wall. I lifted my hands, the towel held up between us, and placed them around his neck. He dropped his hand from the wall and lifted one of my legs around him. I jumped up and wrapped them both around him as he pushed me harder against the wall, our lips fighting. I involuntarily grind against him causing him to react.
"Upstairs" i said against his lips.
Shane did not hesitate. He headed straight upstairs.
...
I woke up the next morning in the comfort of the arms I had longed. Shane.
I rolled over and smiled at his sleeping figure. I brought my hand up to his face and carefully laid it against his cheek, the warmth overtaking my hand.
Shane's nose twitched as his eyes slowly began to open.
"Good Morning" I said softly.
Shane smiled at me and kissed my lips "Good morning love."
I giggled and laid my head against his bare chest. "I enjoyed last night."
"Me too, very much" his fingers trailed up and down my bare side.
"It was much needed huh?" I giggled
"You have no idea." He chuckled. "I'm sorry Mitchie" He said after a moment of silence.
"For what?" I looked up at him confused
"What I did the other night." He bit his lip.
"Shane, it's in the past. I forgive you. I want to move passed it. Focus on now." I smiled "Just never let it happen again" we both softly laughed.
. . .

I laughed at his avoidance and put my phone down.
"You ready?" Shane asked as he walked out into the foyer
"I'm ready" I smiled and picked up my purse ready to head out with the love of my life.
