Wow. I am very, very happy with myself. I've been updating so much faster than I had been. I feel like I'm actually accomplishing something here. Anyway, this chapter is just Mitchie and Shane's POVs. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks so much you guys! LOVE YOU!
[Mitchie's POV]
"Two weeks! Two Weeks! I turn eighteen in two weeks!" I sang into the phone. I was talking to Caitlyn who had apparently, just gotten back from a romantic date with Nate. Caitlyn laughed as I sang and yelled back at me.
"Show off! Show off! Mitchie Torres is a show off!" I rolled my eyes, like she could see me.
I couldn't believe it, I was turning eighteen in just two weeks. Two more weeks and I've have my lisense, two more weeks and I'd be an adult. And two more weeks until I would be old enough to live with Shane, be with him always and makeout with him anytime I want.
I sighed and fell back on my bed, breathing in as a smile creeped onto my face.
"I just can't believe I'm almost there," I said and looked over at my calendar, seeing my birthday circled with a hot pink marker.
"I know. What are you doing for graduation?" I had completely forgotten about graduation, even though everyone in school had been talking about it for the last month.
"I have absolutely no idea," I slipped off the purity ring from my finger and started shining it with my shirt.
I had remembered the look on Shane's face when I'd gotten it last week. He lifted me into the air and spun me around about thirty times. I had smiled so much that day and my face hurt so much when Shane finally left for the day. He was so happy and proud of me. I knew he'd appreciate it and so did I.
"Oh, maybe you could throw a huge party, invite the guys, maybe even Marissa, Cali knows I haven't seen her since camp." chuckled and nodded to myself. I hadn't see Marissa since camp either.
"That would be so awesome! Hey, did you hear Jason and Marissa had their first kiss?" I squealed to Caitlyn.
"OMG, I know. They are so amazing together. I wonder if Jason's asked her to be his girlfriend yet?"
"I have no idea, but I hope it's yes." I smiled. Beep. Beep. I pulled my phone from my face and looked at the screen, seeing Shane's name and picture on it. I pressed my phone back to my ear. "Hey, I got another call. I'll talk to you later, ok?"
"It's Shane isn't it?" she asked. "Nevermind, I know it is. Later." she said and I quickly pressed the Hold button.
"Yellow?" I answered.
"Red," Shane replied and I laughed.
"Hey Shane, what's up?" I asked, giggling now.
"Nothing much, just calling to ask you if you want to hang out with me and the guys?"
"Who? Jason and Nate?" I asked, sitting up.
"Those are the two. So, what do you say?" he asked.
"I say yes." I smiled and stood, walking over to my closet.
"Great. How does three sound?"
"Three sounds perfect -" suddenly I remembered "- Oh wait, I can't. I completely forgot I'm going bowling with my parents and some relatives." I frowned into my clothes and turned around looking at my room. I really need to clean up in here.
"Oh." Shane breathed with a dissapointed tone.
"Shane, I'm sorry, maybe you can come with us. I'm sure my parents wont mind." Shane chuckled.
"I don't know, Mitch, are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'm sure. You can bring the guys too, maybe they'd want to bring their girlfriends?" I walked out of my room, heading toward the stairs.
"Yeah, I could ask,"
"So...?" I stretched out, walking down the stairs.
"Sure Babe," I smiled.
"Great! Meet us at All Star Lanes around 4:30."
"I'll be there,"
"I love you,"
"I love you too." Shane said and I hung up.
"Was that Shane?" I turned and saw Mom, carrying a load of laundry. I smiled. Mom always did the laundry on Saturday.
"Yeah, I hope you don't mind, but I invited him and four others come bowling with us." I bit my lip.
"Mitchie," Mom whined. "you should really ask us before you just go telling people yes."
"I know, I'm sorry. Please?" I begged, nicely. Mom rolled her eyes.
"I suppose," I ran over and hugged her as she spoke the last word. She chuckled.
"Thank you, Mom!" I let go of her and skipped into the kitchen.
[Shane's POV]
"I love you too." I said and Mitchie hung up. I smiled, pulling my phone away from my ear and closing it, shoving it back into my pocket. Mitchie definitely had a way of convincing me into doing stuff. Bowling? I hadn't gone bowling for at least three years and wasn't sure if I was going to make a complete fool of myself or what. I was hoping I wouldn't. I didn't really feel like embarrassing myself in front of Mitchie and her family, plus mine and their girlfriends. Wow, that's a lot of people to laugh at you.
I walked out of my bedroom and headed downstairs. I walked into the living room, seeing Mom and Dad on the couch watching TV. They were watching E! News.
"Hey Mom, hey Dad,"
"Hi Shane," Mom spoke in a cheery voice.
"Hey Shane," Dad replied, sounding calm and cool.
"I just wanted to let you know that Nate, Jason and I are gonna go bowling with Mitchie and her family. Is that cool?"
"Yeah, sweetie. You guys have fun." Mom said.
"Thanks," I said and headed for the kitchen.
"Don't forget to take your phone!" Mom shouted and I rolled my eyes.
"Okay!" I shouted back and walked into the kitchen, seeing Nate in the fridge. "Hey bro," Nate looked passed the door to me. I sat down at the kitchen table.
"Hey," he waved. "What were you just talking to Mom and Dad about? I heard my name mentioned." he stuck his head back in the fridge and a second later, pulled out a water bottle and an apple.
"Nosy much?" he rolled his eyes, walking over to the table and sitting down. "Mitchie's family is going bowling and she invited us to come along," Nate nodded.
"Wait, who's 'us'?" he asked, taking a bite of his apple.
"You, Jason and me." I explained and he nodded again.
"Are we allowed to bring anyone?" Nate asked, a goofy grin on his face.
"Yeah, Mitchie said you could bring Caitlyn,"
"I didn't say who I was bringing," I raised my brow. "okay." Nate looked away and took another bite. I chuckled, shaking my head.
"Hey, where's Jason? I need to talk to him about this?" I asked Nate.
"Talk to me about what?" I looked up and saw Jason walking into the kitchen.
"Just the man I was looking for," I stood up and walked over to Jason, slinging an arm over his shoulder. "How would you like to come bowling with us?" I asked and Jason looked at me.
"Yeah, that sounds cool. Can I bri-"
"Bring Marissa," Nate and I both said at once and the room suddenly became silent. I took my arm off of Jason's shoulders.
A few moments later, Nate finally cleared his throat. "Uh, so when is this thing?"
"Around 4:30. We're gonna meet her at All Star Lanes," Nate nodded.
"Who's 'her'?" Jason asked.
"Mitchie," I said turning towards him.
"Oh, now I know why we're going." Jason said and I gave him a confused look.
"And what would that be, Jason?" I asked him.
"Mitchie. You think you always have to do everything that Mitchie does, you even drag us into stuff." Jason finished and I glared at him.
"Hey, Mitchie means the world to me, of course, I want to do stuff with her, but I don't see why you think it's such a bad thing if I invite you to join us." Jason shrugged and I nodded, getting it. "You know, I was just trying to be nice."
"Shane, don't get mad at Jason," Nate said and I looked at him. "he's just moody. I'm definitely coming, you can count on that." Nate smiled and I nodded, smiling back.
"Alright, I guess I'm coming too," Jason groaned lightly and pulled out his phone. "I'll call Marissa and ask her if she'll come," I nodded and Jason walked out of the room. Nate was right. Jason was moody and getting on my case for no apparent reason. I did not understand him sometimes.
"Well, I guess I'm gonna go call Caitlyn, mess around on my guitar for a while and then get ready," I nodded and Nate stood up, walking over to me and slapping my back. "Keep it cool, bro." I chuckled and slapped him back.
"You too." He headed upstairs and I walked over to the sliding door that led to the backyard.
Suddenly, I heard Winston. I turned around and watched as he ran towards, me, slipping and sliding on the hard wood floors. "Hey Buddy," I said and picked him up. "You like Mitchie, don't you?" I asked him. He barked. I chuckled and scratched behind his ears. "I'll take that as a yes." I set him down and watched him run off. I turned back around and opened the sliding door, stepping outside and feeling a warm breeze touch my exposed skin. I walked over to the porch swing and sat down, rocking it back and forth. I pulled out my phone and texted Mitchie. "Hey, I got the guys to say yes, just waiting on their girls. You guys just play for fun, right? -Shane" I hit send and waited.
A few seconds later, she replied. "Cool. Yeah, my family is all about having fun. But why? You afraid you'll lose to me? -MitchieBabe" I chuckled and texted her back.
"What? No. I just haven't played in a long time and... I just don't want to embarrass myself in front of your fam."
"Aww, Shane. You're not gonna embarrass yourself, trust me. Some of my relatives have never bowled before." I sighed.
"Oh, that's cool."
"Shane, don't worry. You'll do just fine :)"
"Thanks Babe, I love you 3"
"I love u too! 3"
I closed my phone and shoved it back in my pocket.
I was still thinking about it, about asking Mitchie to marry me. She was turning eighteen in two weeks and I needed to think of someway I could just bring it up casually without showing her what a nervous wreck I knew I'd be. I wasn't sure how I was going to do this, but I needed to think of something fast.
What did you think? Are you guys excited about Shane asking Mitchie to marry him? He's so inlove with her right now and I am just soooo inlove with that. I hope you guys can take the time (maybe 30 seconds) to review this chapter and let me know what you thought. Thank you!
