My Past and My Future Collide
Chapter 24: Kissing Fever
It was now later in the afternoon and Mitchie headed back to her cabin after her last class. She was going to do what she did best, when she was confused, run. She got to the cabin to see the girls haven't arrived yet. She changed into a pair of lulu lemon shorts and a tank top. It was fairly hot today. She slipped on her socks and sneakers. She quickly tied her hair up and walked out of the cabin. She stretched for a couple of minutes then turned on her iPod and started running. She didn't care today she was running the whole grounds. If her legs hurt she didn't care she had to.
Meanwhile Caitlyn was walking around Camp with Nick and Jason. Jason was a real character. He was sort of just tagging along. Caitlyn didn't mind. He made her laugh not as much as Nate though. Nate was holding hands with her as they were just walking around camp. They finally decided to sit down on the grass in the center of all cabins. There was a little garden type space. It had benches and a pond so they all sat on the grass near the pond.
"So Caitlyn do you like birds?" Jason asked
"Their pretty interesting I guess" She said giggling looking at Nate who smiled at her
"They are, I made a birdhouse" He says excited
"Cool Maybe I can see it one day?" She asked
"Okay, I'll go get it" He said jumping up and started running off
"Okay" Caitlyn said to herself and Nate just smiled
"He's so crazy" Nate confirmed
"Yeah but lovable" Caitlyn said smiling
"Please tell me you aren't leaving me for my bird loving band mate" He said teasing
"Of course" She said smiling
"What" He said actually believing her
"You are an idiot" She said hitting him playfully "Of course not I love you too much" She said smiling realizing what she said and he smiled
"I love you too" He said kissing her and she kissed back
They pulled back smiling. She didn't really mean to say right away what she felt but it was July it's been almost six months and she definitely felt it and apparently he did to. She smiled huge as he had said it. She kissed him again and she loved the feeling. They loved each other and now one little kiss showed it. The four letter word wasn't that hard to say, well for her and Nate. However, for her best friend and Nate's it was a little more complicated than a four letter word.
They pull back and Nate stands up holding his hands out to Caitlyn. "You coming" he asks
"Where" She asks taking his hand as he helps her up
"To my cabin before Jason comes back" he says smiling
"Let's go to mine" Caitlyn said "Mitchie was going for a run"
"Alright" He says as they walk towards her cabin
Nate texts Jason telling him the Caitlyn wasn't feeling well and will look at it later. Jason text back hoping she gets better and that he was going to make another one. Nate just laughed turning off his phone as they were nearing the cabin.
They got into the cabin and closed the door behind them. As soon as Nate saw it was empty he had Caitlyn against him kissing her in a feverishly manor. Caitlyn was a little taken by surprise but then got lost in the sensation of his kiss. She kissed back as they stumbled towards her bed and fell down losing each other in kisses. They had missed each other a lot. It was their time to be selfish they were aloud.
Caitlyn was under Nate loving their bodies so close in their heated make-out session. She ran her tongue ran along his bottom lips asking for entrance as he acknowledged it and their tongues were now fighting for dominance. She shivers a little as his hands started under her shirt but then warmed up to his hands as she keeps kissing him, her hands rubbing his bare, surprisingly toned chest.
Shane was sitting outside on the porch around the back of the cabin. It was old and the steps were slightly rotted. He didn't care though. It was somewhere he could sit near his cabin and the girls who were new wouldn't look for him. He was writing in his notebook figuring out some lyrics as he looks out on the lake. He looks over and sees someone running down the path towards his cabin. He is about to turn back to his notes when he recognizes her.
The long brown hair ties up moving side to side as she ran gracefully down the path that winds around to the beach. Her long legs carrying her fast but at an even pace. He was smiling. He was upset that the first time they talked, well yelled, went horribly wrong. She was running the path as it headed toward the beach and he wanted to talk. He needed to talk to her. He stood up and jumped over the steps.
"Mitchie" he called "can we talk?" he says hoping she slowly down but she just keeps running. "Mitchie" He calls once more as she disappears around the bend and he sighs.
He walks back up to his chair and flops down on it again. Was she ignoring him since he yelled at her and told her he loved her? He didn't know it would get worse. He really wished it wasn't. Maybe she was focused on something or listening to music? Yeah that had to be it right? He hoped it was music that would mean she didn't hear him, the best case scenario. That please d him slightly as he started writing his song.
Mitchie looks at her iPod as she finished the woods path and was now heading to her cabin. She had been running for almost 2 hours and it was nearing 5 and they had dinner in about 45 minutes. She went to a slower pace as she headed towards her cabin to get ready for dinner and wash the sweat off of herself.
Meanwhile Caitlyn and Nate were still in a heavy make out session. So far Lola and Peggy haven't been back and they were pleased. Almost 2 hours of complete selfishness with each other was like chocolate coasted strawberries, biting into heaven. Caitlyn lost her shirt so she was currently under him in a bra and her shorts. She had took off his shirt so, she was shirtless he had to be too, and she was glad he was. They kept kissing pretty heavy when the door sprang open.
They hear a slight squeal and the porch door slam shut again. Caitlyn sighed pulling away as Nate rolled off of her sitting up searching and reaching his shirt and slipping it over his head shaking his hair out. Caitlyn put her tank top on going into the bathroom brushing her hair.
"Nate did you have to?" She asked pointing to her neck and he blushed
"Sorry I got carried away" He said smiling
"Its fine, but I think you should go so Mitchie can come in" She said hugging him
"Okay bye" he kisses her one more time
"Bye" Kisses him "Wash your lips their slightly pink" She giggled as he left
"You can go in, sorry Mitchie" He said blushing and walked towards his cabin and Mitchie walked in placing the iPod on her bed.
"I'm really sorry" Caitlyn said
"It's okay, you are able to do those things" She smiled getting a towel
"Okay, well we will go to his cabin next time" She assured him and Mitchie laughed
"I'm having a shower I'll be right back" She said as she walked into the bathroom starting the water.
Mitchie stepped into the hot water letting it cascade down every crest and curve of her sweaty body. Cold water would be nice but she wanted to wash off not cool off. She washed her hair and her body with her body wash then slowly turned the water dial towards the cold. She let the cold water cool her down then stepped out of the shower.
She wrapped a towel around her hair to stop it dripping. She then dried herself off and getting dressed. She chose a pink skirt the rested on her hips flowing down to her knees and would flow around her legs when she walked. Since it was summer she loved the skirt for that reason. She put on a plain white fitted tank that ends at her hips. She removed her hair form the towel drying it slightly then pulling it back with a thick fabric pink headband letting her hair flow down her back with the slight wave within it.
She walked out slipping on white flip flops after applying makeup and some lip gloss and sat down with Caitlyn on her bed. "Sorry I walked in" Mitchie said "It just startles me"
"It's okay we should've been considerate it won't happen again" She said then noticed her outfit "What's the occasion" Caitlyn asked
"Nothing I felt like dressing up, and after dinner I'm talking to Shane" She said "I still love him, but can't tell him yet" Mitchie confirmed
"Really, well I am happy for you figuring that out" Caitlyn smiled hugging Mitchie who hugged back
"Thanks, and yeah anyways should we go to dinner?" Mitchie asked
"Can I tell you something first" Caitlyn says almost giddy
"Sure" Mitchie said curious
"Me and Nate said I love you today" She said happy
"Oh my gosh that's amazing" Mitchie said hugging Caitlyn
"Thanks but let's go eat I'm starving" Caitlyn said as her and Mitchie head to the mess halls Mitchie's head spinning once again.
Mitchie could not believe they said it already. They had been together for almost six months but still was it really that easy? Mitchie had everything so complicated admitting love is not just simple was it? Her best friend could say it. Maybe it was easy but after everything that went on it just wasn't that way. There were a lot of things said and done. There was Trevor and Aaron that Shane doesn't know everything or anything about and did he have someone too? Would he tell her if he did? UGH! This was so complicated. The clearest think right now was her feelings. The feeling of love it wasn't so complicated she figured but making it clear to say that would be the complicated part. She sighed then put on a smile as she walked through the doors in the mess hall for dinner.
Shane actually went to the mess hall for dinner tonight. He ate with Jason as they sat alone. He would've sat with Nate but he was sitting with Caitlyn who was with Mitchie and after today he wasn't so sure that would have been a good idea. After he was done he left and went to his cabin. He wanted to get some writing done or some chords. There was 5 days until final jam and he had to nail it if it was to work and give off the right affect and emotion.
He went to his cabin collecting his notebook, pencil, and his guitar. He then walked out the back of the cabin and headed toward the beach. He finally sat down at a familiar spot the sun setting but he had enough light for about an hour. It was a familiar dock near trees. He remembered it like it was yesterday. He had heard the girl with the voice; he met Mitchie, and wrote Gotta Find you. Yes this was the dock he sang to Mitchie. It brought back memories and write now it was the best place to play yet another song about her.
He started playing with some strings along with the words and it was all starting to come together and smiles starting to sing little pieces.
Mitchie got up after dinner and decided it was time to talk to Shane. She had two things she had to get straight with him tonight and she would not go to bed without it being. It was eating her up inside. It was a thank you and well forgiveness. She sighed walking up to his cabin and knocked. He waited and there was no answer. She decided she would walk to the beach maybe he was by the tree.
She took a walk down to the beach and when he wasn't there she looked at the long row of docks and decided to start walking along them. She slowly made her way to the end still not finding him. The wind of the lake was cold and making her shiver. She rubbed her arms and walked back towards that beach again. She sighed wondering where else she could look. She decided to take the back way towards the kitchen. She hadn't lately because this is where he sand to her. She sighed and headed towards the kitchen. If he wasn't around here she would go back to the cabin. It was almost an hour she was hoping she would find him soon.
She started walking and was reaching the dock when she stopped hearing a voice. It was Shane. He was on the dock singing. She wanted to listen. Just a line or two then she would leave. She leaned against a tree and listened.
He was playing music and singing. He was reading his lyrics and she heard one line the sounded very powerful.
"I was thinking back to where we started and now we lost all that we are" He says in a voice full of emotion then stops and puts his guitar down. He sighs. He has been working on it so hard. He needed a little break. He sighed just looking at the sunset thinking about everything. He was thinking when he heard footsteps on the dock then a quiet voice.
"Shane?" Said a voice he would recognize anyway
"Hi" He said quietly
"Can I sit, or do you want to be alone?" she asked and he smiles she always considered private space
"You can sit" He says quietly and she sits beside him on the dock that brings back memories
"Hi" he said again quietly
"HI" she replied
"Look, about the other day, I'm sorry" He said and she nodded
"Me too" She said
"I know it doesn't fix anything and all that but I am sorry about everything, and the present that was out of line" He says slowly
"Shane about the summer and you not telling me, it's over" She said
He nods "Just know I am sorry" He said
"It's forgiven Shane, I forgive you for that" she says and he looks up at her
"You do?" He asked surprise
"Yeah, why are you so surprised?" She asks back
"Well the texts messages and everything" He said "Sorry wasn't enough" he stated
"I said that but I had to forgive you. Last year I lied and yes it was horrible but after everything you still forgave me. I was mad, accused you of lying when you really didn't lie. You just led me to believe you were coming and I assumed you were. If you could forgive me for a lie I can and have forgiven you for this" She said
"Thank you for your forgiveness" He says in his honey sweet voice and she forgot how much she loved it
"You're welcome Shane and thank you for the present. I was mad about it before I looked at everything and read it page by page it was really beautiful thank you" She smiled
"You're welcome" he smiles "Think maybe we could try to be friends?" He asked
She sighs at that "Shane…"She starts "I don't know"
"Oh okay" He said a little upset
"I want to be, but everything this summer, stuff could've happened we don't know about before we can be friends then find something out. I can't do that again" She said
"Right" He agreed still sad
"I think if we want this we have to be able to tell each other what happened this summer, one thing at a time" She said
"So we can try if we tell all?" He asked "One big thing at a time"
"I'm willing, some might be sad, horrible, even maddening but if we are both willing we can try with an outcome of bad or good I will try" She said
"I think I'd like that" He says
"So want to try maybe" She asks
"Yes" He said "One thing at a time starting tomorrow" He asks
"Well we started today, I forgave you but that's all for tonight" She said shivering a little
"Yeah we should go, I'll walk you back" He asks
"Uh sure" She said and they stood up starting to walk to her cabin as he held the guitar and notebook. Mitchie on the other hand was hugging herself.
They walked back to her cabin in pure silence. It wasn't awkward though it was comfortable. Mitchie felt reminded of the time with Trevor but no this was more comfortable, familiar and slightly relaxing as well. They stopped at the bottom of the steps.
"Thanks for walking me" she said smiling
"It's no problem" he said in that voice "So you still up for trying to work friendship?" he asked
"Yes if you are" she wanted to confirm
"Yes, we should probably meet somewhere tomorrow?" He asked
"Same place at 7" She asks
"Sure and maybe bring a sweater we might be there for a while with the first big thing" He said and nodded
"Alright, tomorrow" She said slightly smiling
"Goodnight Mitchie" He said
"Night" she said
"Wait, I know we aren't friends but my number" she said "555-Gray" He said and she smiled
"Goodnight Shane" she said then walked into the cabin.
She noticed her friends pretending to read. "Nice try, so have fun spying" She asked
"Sorry" Peggy said
"It was just…" Lola started
"You and Shane, what's happening we need to know" Caitlyn said
"I'll tell if you all a) Don't Scream and b) Don't tell a soul" She sated
"Deal" they said in unison
"Okay, well we might work it out. We are telling the summer things. Both of us are." She stated "One thing at a time, then the outcome will either be bad or good but before anything could happen that what needs to be done" She said
"Well you are trying" Caitlyn said happy
"Yeah we are meeting tomorrow" Mitchie stated
"Where" Peggy asked
"Somewhere on camp" Mitchie asked "Please don't try to find us we have to do this alone okay?" She said begging almost
"We won't" Lola confirmed
"Yeah" Caitlyn agreed
"Thanks and at 7 so I'll be back this time or later depends but I want to go to bed" She said grabbing clothes and going into the bathroom.
She came out into the dark except for her light on. She smiled all her friends trying to sleep all content. She had on her purple silk pajama pants and a purple shirt. She climbed into her bed turning off the light. She quietly turned on her cell phone and was going to enter his number when there was an alert a text came in. she opened and smiled.
I know we aren't friends yet. If you need to talk this is my number, like s I said 555-GRAY (4729) Goodnight Mitch OO
Goodnight Shane OOO
She sent saving his number then turned the phone off. Maybe it would work. They had five days. This was the last chance. She smiled knowing she had home and fell asleep happily. For the first night in months her sleep was peaceful and dreamless.
Shane smiled after she went inside and practically skipped to his cabin. It was odd he hadn't been so happy in so long. He had to send her a message so he did and added her contact to his phone again. He smiled getting a text back then going to bed. They were trying to work this out. He crawled under his blanket in just a pair of pajama pants his bare chest shown. He smiled falling asleep the smile never leaving his face all night as he dreamt of being friends with his first love, Mitchie Torres.
A/N: (THIS NOTE IS LONG BUT READ IMPORTANT NOTICE BELOW! OMG GUYS! WASN'T IT CUTE! I THOUGHT SO! Anyway I hope you liked it. IT was so cute I thought.

Please read notice!
IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!
The story sadly is coming to a close. It will be 30 maybe a little over chapters. 35 at the most depending how long I make the other ones. But don't be too sad. I am finishing this one and my one-shot series. Please read it they are pure Smitchie since it's taking forever in this story, but it will be worth it. I will be writing another story after as well. Starting in August after my one-shot series and this one is complete. I have two ideas! And you as readers I hope you will read it but I want you to decide which one you would want me to write. The summaries and titles below. When you review please add the title you want me to write. Whichever as the most will be the one I write? IF you want put both done but 1) beside you first choice and 2) with the second choice. Here are the choices. Please choose one.
Some Say Opposites attract, I disagree
Mitchie Torres and Shane gray are each part of one of the most famous, rich and known families in the world. They are both freshman in an away from home private school. They both attend their planning to own it. Both of them want to own it, and plan to dominate it. It's the want, the need of power and similarities that bring the two together. Will similarities be the reason to stick together, or again do opposite attract
THAT WAS THE FIRST CHOICE SEOCND CHOICE IS….
Just your average guy right?...wrong
Mitchie Torres is ready to leave New York at the age of 20 and has sent out flyers for jobs all over the United States and lands a sweet deal. A job teaching a teenage girl the joy of piano and music, piece of cake right? WRONG. One problem, she is rich and into everything but music. Mitchie moves to Palm Springs living in now an extravagant house as Palm Beach is very rich. Besides just teaching music he meets a guy, Shane Gray. He is a rich member of the Palm Springs. Girls are always acting so when he meets Mitchie who is new he starts over. He introduces himself as Shane. He doesn't tell her or lead on that he is rich, basically hiding one side of him to her. When she finds out does that change everything and had romance already blossomed. He is just no average guy but was that just it was she just and average girl?
There are the two choices? I hope they sound interesting and that you will read them. Please choice your first choice and list your second if you want I will post this option in the next chapter two for other readers so try to review your choice now. Sorry for the long Note but I wanted you all to know. Please Review
