Because Of You
Chapter 25
"Oh my god Shane that looks amazing on you" the preppy blonde, who goes by the name of Ivy, squealed in delight. He smiles happily then looks at me for my opinion. I force a smile.
"It looks great babe," I say softly. "Im going to go look at the dresses" I sigh, walking away from Ivy who was 'helping' Shane with his Jacket. Why did he have to look so fucking hot in everything, it only made him more desirable, which was even worse! The way she was looking at him made me want to heave up my breakfast. I had a very strong urge to just run up to her and…ugh! I don't even know what id do. I couldn't hit her because she hadn't done anything yet and if I yelled at her, id look like a complete idiot. So for now, I had to just bite my lip and take it.
After buying a few tops I walked back over to the. "Ready to go Mitch?" he asks, looking at both me and Ivy. I nod my head and follow then out of the store. While we are in the mall I am basically shunned by the both of them as they dive into conversation. She laughs at almost everything he says and I can tell he likes that by the way he smiles, even the jokes he tells which aren't funny she laughs at. I honestly think its his rock star status that has got her so keen, she doesn't really seem like the type of girl to care about what's underneath.
After an hour her voice gets too much and I go back to the house, on my own. I told them I had a headache and needed some rest. Once inside I slump onto the comfy couch and pull out my phone, dialling Amy's number.
"How's vacation going?" she asks happily. "Its great here with Nate and his family, they are so welcoming, I feel part of the family already"
"When's the wedding" I try to laugh but it just sounds more like a sigh.
Amy picks up on this. "What's up Mitch? things not going good?" she asks, concern in her voice.
I shake my head. "No, things have been going good, we even" I cough and I feel the blush rush to my cheeks. "you know" I whisper.
She gasps loudly. "You had sex!" she shouts. "Sorry" she says when I sigh. "How was it?"
I sigh and fall back, lying down. "It wasn't what I hoped it would be, I mean, Shane was great, it was just me, I didn't know what the fuck I was doing, I was terrible, I think he even thought that, but you know Shane, he's too kind to say anything".
"Mitchie, I guarantee he didn't think you were awful, he's Shane, he'll love you no matter what, even if you are shit in bed" she giggles.
"Shut up" I laugh. "I just need practice, and I think I might get quite a bit on this holiday" I smirk. "If his neighbour isn't round all the time" I grumble.
"His neighbour?" she asks.
I nod to myself. "His neighbour is some bottle blonde called Ivy who seems to have a little thing for Shane, he invited her to the mall today and they have been inseparable the whole day, I was lucky if he even acknowledged me, personally I think he just likes the attention" I sigh. "She beautiful Amy" I whine. "Why couldn't she have looked like your cousin Brooke?"
"Hey!" she scolds. "She can't help that she has that overbite, and she isn't even that bad" I don't say anything. "Ok so maybe she is, but don't bring her into this, what does this Ivy look like then, other than she is a blonde"
"Tan skin, perfect figure, cute butt, bright blue eyes, flawless skin, and a pretty smile" I tell her. "So she's pretty much perfect" I pause. "Perfect for Shane"
"Don't think like that, he wont throw away everything you have for some girl he met a day ago, im sure she's not even as pretty as you make her out to be" she says.
"No, she is, she is like a life size Barbie doll, just not as fake, she is basically every guys dream girl, I bet she has an amazing job too, unlike me, I'll be stuck in that damn coffee shop for the rest of my miserable life" I huff out.
"Mitchie, you aren't even in your twenties yet, you have plenty of time to think about your career," she states. "Look, just, don't worry about this girl, she'll be out of your lives soon ok? Just focus on the time you have with Shane, its all about you and him for the next week alright, just make the most of it, I love you".
"Love you too Amy, tell Nate and his family I say hi, oh! Anything happened between you too yet?" I ask, wiggling my eyebrows.
"We're taking things slow" she breathed out happily. "Im happy."
I squeal. "Aww Amy you and him are so fucking adorable, I cant wait to see you so I can give you both big bear hugs, call me soon ok?" I request.
"Of course! I'll call you on Christmas, have fun" then I hear the dial tone. I smile before setting my phone down. When I hear the door open I snap my head towards it to see Shane walking in.
"Babe? I thought you were going to get some rest?" he asks, placing his bags on the armchair and taking off his jacket. "Are you feeling better?"
I nod and stand up, walking over to him. "Much" I attack my lips to his before slowly placing wet kisses down his jaw and down the hollow of his throat. As the kissing progresses he lifts me up around his waist and takes me into the bedroom, slamming the door behind him with his foot. I was going to make him forget all about the beautiful blonde next door.
I curl against into him as he stroked my forehead, which was lightly glistening from sweat, as was his perfectly tones chest. "That was amazing" he pants into my hair, pressing kisses all over my face.
"Mm" I hum in agreement. "It was" I smile and peck his lips. this time was perfect. I cant describe it any other way other than, well, perfect. I wasn't as nervous, I was actually excited, I went with it this time and I took charge a little.
"You're so beautiful," he mumbles into my hair, which was sticking up in random places. I giggle and smack his arm lightly. "I mean it, I don't want you to every feel like you aren't" he kisses me again.
"With you I feel beautiful" I tell him. I then let out a long yawn. "Im so tired"
"That good am I" he winks. I roll my eyes and turn my back on him. "Baby im kidding, come here" he holds out his arms and I snuggle back in. "Sleep, we have a big day of wrapping presents tomorrow"
I groan and close my eyes. "Wonderful" and that's the last thing I say before I fall into a peaceful slumber.
I think I could stay this way forever, just laying in his arms for nights on end, I wouldn't mind it all, in fact, I want it. I want this to be my resting place for the rest of my life. I want to be with Shane. Oh god I feel like a 16 year old again, talking about my future like I have the slightest clue.
"Mitchie, wake up" Shane's soft voice echoes in my ear.
I inhale deeply before letting out the breath slowly. "What time is it?" I ask. I then look at the clock to see that it was 11am. "Better get up" I take the blanket from Shane, wrapping it round my naked frame before walking into the bathroom. I take a quick shower before slipping into some sweats and a plain white tee. I scrape my hair back and leave my face make-up free; I wasn't doing anything today so why bother changing into something decent. Walking back out into the bedroom I fight the urge to gasp. Shane is currently wearing sweats.
"What?" he asks when he notices me staring. "Is there something in my hair?"
I shake my head. "No I just…I've never seen you in sweats, your always in skinny jeans" I state. "You look good" I admit. He really does, he has never looked more, sexy shall I say. Bed hair, no shirt and grey sweat pants, this was definitely a Kodak moment.
"As do you my love" he pulls me into his, pressing his lips to mine for two long moments. "let get started on these presents them" I groan. "there aren't many, just mine and yours, my families and Amy's"
I nod. "Ok, that isn't bad, lets get started then" I smack his buss before running down the stairs, Shane following closely behind me.
A few presents and many paper cuts later we are finished. I sigh and fall to the floor, actually tired. "Who knew wrapping presents could actually make you tired…I really need to start going to a gym"
"You kept up pretty well last night" he wiggles his caterpillar eyebrows at me. I throw a pillow at his face and flip him off. He laughs and chucks it back, his face then turns serious. "Do you ever wonder about the future, our future" he elaborates.
"All the time" I tell him. "It scares me though, because I don't know what it going to happen, life's so unpredictable Shane, who knows where we will end up, the only thing I know is that I want to be with you for as long as I can" I smile.
He smiles back, showing his perfect teeth. "I don't want anything to come between us ever again Mitchie" he frowns. "Im really sorry about everything I have done in the past, I truly am" his face is so sincere I fell like reaching up and smoothing the creases of worry in his forehead.
"Shh" I say, pressing a finger to his lips to silence him. "Its in the past, its not important anymore, what is important is that I gave you a second chance, and so far so good" I giggle.
He kisses my hand twice. "And I am so grateful you did, I know I didn't deserve it because I was such a dick but thank you Mitch" he pulls me closer to him. "You're so soft"
I snort with laughter. "You are so cheesy Shane grey" he nuzzles his nose against my neck causing me squeal. "Stop it that tickles!"
"Oh does it now, what about this?" he then begins attacking my sides with his large hands. I thrash around, desperately trying to get from under his grip, im laughing so hard its becoming almost hard to breathe.
"S-Shane S-St-Stop it!" I manage to gasp out. He finally does and I let my back fall, panting. "You asshole"
he pins my arms above my head and kisses me. "But I'm a lovable asshole".
I giggle and lean up, stealing another kiss. "That you are Shane grey, that you are".
