It Started Out With Coffee At Starbucks, chapter 6
After getting inside around the family dog who was at the front dog wagging her tail at Rachel, Mike put their bags down and followed Rachel into the kitchen.
*Mike's POV*
I walked into Rachel's parents kitchen and found her looking in a cupboard. As she stood there looking in it at what seemed like different kinds of cereal, I realized one thing. I was falling in love. Rachel had a hold of my heart. I wanted her to be mine. Sure three days to be together doesn't seem like long enough to already make a decision but I had made mine. This girl just had to be mine forever someday.
*End of Mike's POV*
Rachel closed the cupboard, shrugged her shoulders and turned around to see Mike in the archway. "Hi." "Hi." "Find anything?" "No there's no good cereal." Mike nodded understandingly and said "Ready to go up to bed?" "Yeah. Grab our bags and we'll go up." They walked into the hall, Mike picked up the bags, and him and Rachel went upstairs.
When they walked into the room, Rachel turned on the lamp on the desk giving the room some light. Mike put the bags down and sat on the queen size bed. He looked around the room to see some posters of Green Day but what caught his eye was the bookshelf in the corner.
On it there was 5 picture frames, one contained a picture of him, another had a picture of Rachel and Bridget in cheerleader uniforms in it, another had a picture of a little girl in a pink dress in it, another had a picture of Rachel holding a baby in it, and the last one was Rachel with Nicole and Isabelle doing a Charlie's Angels pose. Then there was dozens of photo albums and scrapbooks.
He got up and walked over to it.
When he picked up the photo of the little girl in the pink dress, he turned around to face Rachel and said "Who's this cutie?" Rachel looked at the picture, smiled and said "That would be Abby." "She looks so much like you. She's adorable." "Thanks."
He turned back around and picked up a scrapbook marked Abby's First Birthday. He went and sat on the bed and then opened the book. A minute or so later, Rachel sat next to him as he chuckled. "She really got into the cake huh?" Mike pointed at a picture of Abby and her face was covered in cake icing. "Literally."
When Mike finished looking through the scrapbook, he put it on the floor, looked at Rachel and said "Did you make that?" "Yeah I finished it about a week and a half after her birthday that year. I haven't gotten around to doing the one for her third birthday yet" "When was it?" "Her birthday is August 6th but this year the party was on the 10th cause the 6th was during the middle of the week." Mike smiled at Rachel and kissed her gently on the lips.
He looked into her blue eyes and said "I know you may be nervous about tomorrow but there's nothing to worry about." Rachel nodded and Mike went on talking "And how about when me and the guys are done we go shopping. You can get some new stuff and we'll buy Abby some new toys." "As if she doesn't already had enough... wait till you see her room tomorrow."
Mike and Rachel laughed and he kissed her again this time more passionately. Rachel climbed onto Mike's lap so that she was straddling him and pushed him back down onto the bed. They continued kissing and soon Rachel was taking Mike's shirt off.
Twenty minutes later, they were done with their make-out session and moved on to having sex. As Mike was on top of Rachel, thrusting in and out of her all she could do was moan in ecstasy and say his name over and over again.
*Rachel's POV*
All I could was lay there. I loved how Mike felt in me. It was like he was the best drug in the world and I couldn't get enough. I loved him so much before the day I met him but now there was so much more to the love I had for him. I wanted to be his forever and I knew I never felt this way about anyone before. Not even Matt. I just hoped that Mike wouldn't break my heart like Matt did.
*End of Rachel's POV*
Around 7:15, Mike and Rachel both drifted off to sleep after Mike had thrust inside her one last time moaning her name as he reached his peak. At 10:30, Mike rolled over in bed and went to put his arm around Rachel but all that was there was her empty side of the bed.
He sat up and heard someone softly singing American Idiot from inside the bathroom. He got out of bed and walked into Rachel's bathroom just as she broke into singing the course. He laughed and Rachel opened the shower door a little to say "My singing isn't that bad." "I know." Mike climbed in the shower with Rachel and said "Good morning babe." "Morning."
He kissed her neck a few times then made a trail of kisses up her neck to her lips. Mike picked her up and Rachel put her legs around his hips. After having a 10 minute session in the shower, the climbed out and went into Rachel's room.
After they got dressed, Rachel dried her hair and Mike spiked his and then she put some make-up on while he looked at a few more photo albums.
At 11, they made their way downstairs into the kitchen to find Rachel's brother Kyle and Bridget at the island in the kitchen arguing over the last bit of Honey Nut Cheerios. Rachel walked over to the cupboard and took out a box of pancake mix, looked at Mike who was leaning against the counter less then two feet away and said "Want some?" "Sure."
When they talked Kyle looked up and said "Holy shit. Mike Dirnt!" That gave Bridget the time to grab the box and pour her bowl of cereal.
While mixing the batter, Rachel looked at her brother and said "Kyle... This is Mike. Mike... That's Kyle. My brother who's a year and a half older than me and won't leave home." Mike laughed and said "Hi Kyle. Morning Bridget."
Bridget looked up from her cheerios, smiled at her sister and Mike and said "You two have a good time this morning?" Rachel straightened up from pouring the pancake mix into the frying pan, looked at her sister and said "What are you talking about Bee?" "My room is next to your room plus Kibbles came in last night when you two got in and she woke me up. I heard enough to know you guys..." "Enough Bridget."
Rachel turned back around to flip the pancakes and said to Mike "There's juice and milk in the fridge if you wanna get some out. And get the syrup too." Mike pushed himself away from the counter and walked over to the fridge.
After taking out orange juice and the syrup, Mike put them on the table and Rachel handed him two glasses to put the orange juice in. 10 minutes later, Rachel and Mike sat at the table and ate their pancakes.
At 11:30, Rachel picked up the dishes and put them in the sink as Mike sat at the newly vacant island. As Rachel was washing a plate, Mike looked at her and said "Can I use the phone and call Billie to see what time we need to meet them at Much?" "Yeah sure. You don't need to ask."
Mike picked up the phone and called Billie. When Rachel was done the dishes that had been used for breakfast, she turned around to see Mike standing behind her with a smile on his face. "What are you smiling about?" "I'm just thinking about you naked."
Rachel playfully punched him in the arm and said "Save the pictures for later." She took his hand and led him into the living room. There sitting on the couch was her father and Kyle, Bridget was on the computer, and Abby was on the floor playing with one of her toys.
Rachel and Mike walked in and Rachel cleared her throat making her dad look up. "Good morning Rachel." "Morning dad." "This must be Mike." "It is." Rachel's dad Brian stood up and walked over to where Rachel and Mike were. He held out his hand and said "Brian Sawyer. It's great to finally meet the guy who my daughter has talked about for what seems like ever." Rachel gave him an evil look as Mike laughed, shook Brian's hand and said "Mike Pritchard. And it's nice to meet you too Mr. Sawyer." "Call me Brian." "Okay Brian." "Rachel, didn't your mother say his last name was Dirnt?"
Rachel looked up and said "It is dad but see his actual name is Mike Pritchard but he uses Mike Dirnt as like a stage name." "Oh well then." "Where's mom?" "Gone to pick up some things at the grocery store. She shouldn't be too much longer... She's been gone about an hour." "Okay."
Just then Abby screamed "Mommy!" Rachel walked over to her daughter, picked her up, kissed her forehead and said "Hey baby. Miss me while I was gone?" "Yeah." "Wanna meet mommy's new boyfriend?" Abby nodded and Rachel carried her over to Mike. "Abby this is Mike. Mommy's new boyfriend." Abby looked at Mike and said "Mommy it's da man from dat band you like." "Yeah it is Abs."
Mike smiled Rachel and Abby and said "Hi Abby. Your mom's told me a lot about you." "Hi Mike." Abby looked up at Rachel and said "Mommy are you gonna go away with Mike and leave me home with Nanny and Papa?" "No sweetie. You get to come with us." "Really?" "Yup. That's what Mike said." Abby looked at Mike and said "Can I?" Mike nodded at Abby and said "You sure can." "Mommy lets me go... I want Mike to holds me."
Rachel looked at Mike and he held out his arms to Abby. Rachel handed her daughter to Mike and as Mike was talking to Abby, Rachel's mother Carol got home. She walked into the house and said "Kyle go bring the groceries in from the car." Kyle got up as Carol walked into the living room.
Mike and Rachel looked at Carol and Rachel led Mike to her mother. "Mom... This is Mike. Mike... This is my mom Carol." Mike held out his free hand and said "Nice to meet you Mrs. Sawyer." Carol shook Mike's hand and said "Likewise Mike. I see you've gotten to known my graddaughter quite well." "Yes I have." Abby hugged Mike's neck and said "Guess what nanny? It gets to go on tour with mommy and Mike."
Carol looked at Rachel, who was trying to avoid eye contact with her mother, and said "Rachel... May I speak to you in the kitchen for a minute?" "Uh... Actually I have to get Abby ready cause me and Mike..." "Rachel. Kitchen. Now." "Yes mom."
Rachel followed her mother into the kitchen and Mike turned around to Brian. "Is it okay if we do take Abby on tour? Cause I loved to take both her and Rachel on it but if it's a problem with you or your wife..." "It's no problem with me. I do love having Abigail and Rachel around but Rachel loves going to new places and I know she wants Abby to see the world. Plus Rachel loves you, she has since she was about 13 and Abby seems to really like you." Mike smiled down to Abby who was now playing with a toy on the floor and said "I love your daughter as well sir and Abby is adorable like her mom."
Abby walked over to Mike and said "Are you gonna marry my mommy?" Mike looked at Brian, back to Abby then bent down to be eye level with Abby and said "I don't know yet. Hopefully someday. We'll see." Abby went back to playing as Mike stood up. He looked at Brian and Brian said "If you don't mind me asking... How long have you been seeing my daughter?"
"Since June. But with Green Day... We didn't see much of each other." "Oh... And how old are you?" "29. Last May." "You know Rachel never talked about dating you..." "She wanted to keep it private in case something broke us up. But now she's got my full attention since we met up in Sacramento." "Don't break her heart Mike. Abby's father already did that." "I won't. Take my word on that."
Brian nodded as Rachel came back into the living room. "Abby time to get ready." "Where we goin'?" "You're coming with me and Mike to Much Music 'cause he has an interview then we're going to get you some new toys." "Yay! New toys!" Abby ran upstairs and Rachel and Mike followed her.
They walked into Abby's room and Mike saw just how many toys she had. As Rachel got Abby ready to go, Mike picked up one of Abby's stuffed animals and said "Hey Abby... My daughter has one just like this." "Really?" "Yeah." "Do I gets to meet her?" "Yeah. In October. Me, your mom and you get to go to Oakland to pick her up." "Where's that?" "Oakland?" Abby nodded and Mike said "In California."
Rachel took Abby's hand and said "Time to go Abs." "Otay." Rachel, Mike and Abby left Abby's room and stopped at Rachel's room so Mike could grab to the keys to the SUV and his wallet and so Rachel could grab a pair of sunglasses, her purse and her cell phone.
