Because of You

Chapter 24

"That was.." he began but before he could say anything I cut him off by smashing the pillow over my face.

"Awful" I groaned and shut my eyes tightly.

He chuckles but I can tell I had hurt his ego a little at how his laugh seemed a little forced. "Wow, thanks Mitch"

I pull the pillow away. "No" I shook my head and propped myself up on one elbow so I could see his face clearly. "You were amazing, really, it was me, I was just…" terrible, awkward, bad, everything you could think of which was negative. It was horrible. I was so nervous and rigid the whole time, and it hurt. "Im sorry"

"You just need practice baby" he purred into my ear, causing me to shiver. I shake my head again and cover my face. He sighs and pulls me into his arms. "You have nothing to be sorry for, you were nervous, everyone is nervous their first times" he places a kiss to my forehead. "We have all the time in the world to try again, but I really hope I don't have to wait to long" he winks and I blush a deep crimson. "You're beautiful" he commented as he poked my cheek, making me giggle. "That's what I like to see, that wonderful smile of yours"

I smack his arm. "Shut up grey, so, what's on the schedule today?" I ask. He shrugs and mutters something I didn't quite catch before he rolled over, so by that I think he had probably said sleep. "No, you are not going back to bed, you are going to get your ass dressed and we are going to go on a romantic stroll around the park" I tell him sternly.

He groaned loudly and dramatically. "A romantic stroll? Really Mitchie? Cant we just stay in bed today" he pouted, as his eyes seemed to shine a little more.

"Fine" I caved after a few moments but seriously, it was his eyes, they seem to get me every time, stupid Shane and his irresistible puppy dog eyes. he smiled smugly as he wrapped me in his arms and pulled me closer. "But tomorrow, we are doing what I want" I warn him.

"Ok whatever" he mutters. "As long as we get to go into Victoria Secrets" he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and I just rolled mine. I buried my face into his chest and placed a couple kisses on it before closing my eyes again and drifting into a blissful sleep.

Everything was perfect. I was with Shane, just me and him, spending Christmas break together. Nothing to go wrong right? Wrong.

There was a knock on the door, waking me up from my peaceful slumber. I already didn't like this person. "Just ignore it" I croak. He went to cuddle back up with me but there was another knock, this time he got up, I looked up at him but blushed when I realised he still hadn't got any clothes on. He saw my pink cheeks and chuckled, pulling on some clothes before walking out of the room. I waited to hear who it was and I recognised it as a girls voice, she didn't sound very old either. I slipped on some sweats and one of Shane's v-necks before walking downstairs.

Once I was in the living room I had to fight back a growl that was perched on the tip of my tongue. There sitting on the couch was a beautiful blonde, smiling at an also smiling Shane. her hair was pin straight, she had the skinniest figure, almost as small as Caitlyns but lets be serious, no one could have a smaller figure than Caitlyn. She has red lips and smoky eyes. and a smirk of those lips too. Bitch. "Ah Mitch, this is Ivy, she is the new neighbour"

She stands up and I feel very small. She is still wearing her shoes and I hold the urge to tell her to take them off. "Hi, its nice to meet you" I hold my hand out.

She shakes it delicately, like I might have some sort of disease. "Like wise" Mega bitch. "So, Shane, its nice to meet you, I hope I get to see you again, oh and you two Mitchie" she doesn't even look at me when she mentions my name, her eyes never leave Shane. could he have at least put on a damn shirt?

"Of course! We were going to go shopping tomorrow, would you like to come?" fuck you Shane, why do you have to be so nice.

Please Ivy say no, refuse kindly and just leave, and never come back. "I'd love too! I'll stop by tomorrow" she waves. "By Shane" she walks to the door. "Oh, and bye Macy".

"Mitchie" I spit through gritted teeth. she doesn't say anything she just walks out. "Her boobs looked fake" I mumble as I walk into the kitchen.

He chuckles and wraps his arms around me from behind. "Babe, she is just the new neighbour" he kisses my neck.

"Why the hell did you have to invite her shopping? this vacation is supposed to be just us, no one else, especially not a walking talking Barbie doll" I grumble and I pull out of his arms and take the milk out of the fridge. I pour it onto my cheerio's and slump at the kitchen table. "I don't like her" I announce.

He sits down at the table with me. "You haven't even got to know her yet, she might be really nice" he tried to reason. "Anyway, its not like we are going to spend every day with her, just tomorrow, and then its just us" he winks which of course, I blush at.

I smile but then it drops. "You could have at least put a shirt on, she was basically drooling on the carpet looking a you".

He chuckles. "Mitch, come on, don't be liked this, you are the only one for me, you know that".

"I know that" I tell him. "But she doesn't".

"Come on, eat your cheerio's so we can go back to bed" he stands up, a sudden gleam in his eyes. "Only three more days until Christmas" he basically squeaks like a little girl before running back up the stairs. I smile after him and finish my food. I really did not want to go through with tomorrow. And why the hell did she have to be blonde, everyone knew that Shane had a thing for blondes.

Once back in bed my worries seemed to fade a little. His arms around me shoed away the insecurities and I just feel into another peaceful slumber, cuddled into his chest. But I had a terrible dream of course. Shane, that blonde girl, each other, together, he was holding her, kissing her like he kisses me and whispering in her ear like he did with me and then I heard him say he loved her…that's when I woke up. Panting, I looked around to see the faded outline of Shane's peaceful figure. I sigh and slump again the pillow, wiping the sweat from my head. The tears then rushed to my eyes as the nightmare found its way back into my head.

He began to shift in his sleep and I found myself watching him. He looked so beautiful with his hair askew and his body tangled with the sheets. I was almost jealous and how naturally radiant he was. No wonder why Ivy might want him, any girl with eyes would want him. but I was one of the lucky ones. I got him. He was mine, he choose to be with me out of every other gorgeous girl that was lusting over him. I then do something that makes me feel a little strange. I begin to sing. Not loudly, just softly and quietly so I wont wake him. I touch his hand as I sing a few lines of my favourite song.

"That's beautiful" I hear him murmur with his eyes closed.

I gasp slightly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you" I apologise. "im going to go downstairs and start on dinner" I tell him. I move the blankets away and go to get up but his hand around my wrist stops me.

"Don't go, sing to me," he whispers. I bite down and begin sing again, I have to clear my throat a few times because im not used to it. I haven't sung in so long and it feels…amazing. "I missed your voice," he mutters before I heard his soft snores. I giggle and kiss his forehead before walking downstairs and starting on the pizza. I was going to make this the most amazing week of Shane's life, and that doesn't involve Ivy.

When Shane comes down for dinner I find myself salivating. Not over the food, over him. his torso was bare and he was simply in his black Calvin Klein boxer shorts. He was trying to kill me, that's what he was doing. "I hate you"

He looks at me alarmed. "What? What did I do?"

"You are trying to tease me" I say, my eyes clearly on his chest and maybe a little lower but ill keep that information to myself.

He smirks and wiggles his thick dark eyebrows. "Maybe" I sigh and he sits next to me. "Mitch come on, it wasn't that bad"

"But you're saying it was mildly bad" I answer stubbornly.

He sighs himself. "No I didn't say that, you were nervous, I understand, but that isn't your fault, you didn't make it bad, it was out first time" he tries to reason.

"Exactly!" I almost shout. "Our first time is supposed to be perfect, its supposed to be the best feeling in the world, but it was just…wasn't, maybe to you it was ok but to me it wasn't, I wanted it to be amazing and I just screwed it up" I drop my head on the table and groan.

His large hands find the sides of my face and he lifts it up so I am looking into his hazel eyes. "So what if it wasn't the best night of our lives, Mitchie, every night I spend with you is amazing, even if we just cuddle, in fact, those are the best nights, I don't care about the sex, as long as I have you with me, that's all that matter"

"I love you," I whisper. "So much"

he smiles. "I love you too, so can you please stop worrying ok?"

I nod. "Pizza still ok?"

His eyes glisten and I find myself giggling. "I love you even more now" he says as he basically runs over to the oven, waiting for his food.
