'Cause Now I Know It's All That I Wanted, chapter 14
"Are we having fun?" Mike mocked while he walked in fourth hour so we could go for lunch with Stella.
"We are very tired," I said while he sat in my chair. I sat on his lap and pretended to fall asleep.
"Well we are about to have a wonderful lunch."
"What are we having for lunch Hun?"
"We are going to go to McDonald's."
"We are so romantic aren't we?"
"Stella wanted to go to McDonald's, so we're going to McDonald's."
"She's got us wrapped around her pinkie finger."
"Only because we love her."
"I know we love her."
"So let's go then."
"Ok, let's go."
We got into Mike's car, and went to McDonald's, where Mike had to wear his imfamous disguise so no one would realize who it was. I laughed at his sunglasses and baseball cap saying the Chicago Cubs on it.
"Those people love their baseball!" he acknowledged me.
"They have this weird rival thing with the St. Louis Cardinals, it's kinda weird."
"So? People like their baseball?"
"There's a difference between like and obsess."
"Well I guess you're just gonna have to straighten out those Chicago Cubs, not to mention the Cardinals and the cities."
"Why me?"
"Because I don't care if people obsess over baseball."
"Fine, be a crabby patty."
"You watch too much Sponge bob."
"I love Sponge bob," Stella exclaimed while sipping her soda.
"I love my daughter, she gives me a good reason to watch cartoons."
"You really are the world's best daddy," I said while pinching his cheek. He somehow kept a straight face and I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Stubborn."
"Stop being stubborn daddy," Stella said. I giggled and Mike picked up his daughter.
"Stubborn? I'm stubborn?" he said playfully. She nodded hesitantly, afraid of what her father was going to do.
"I'll get you for that Hero," he said while we walked out, Stella on Mike's shoulders.
"I have to go back to school, wanna watch me teach while your dad has band practice Stella?" I asked her. She nodded and looked at her dad to see if it was ok, he nodded.
"Ok class this is Stella and she is going to stay with us the rest of the day," I said while they sat down. I pressed play on the VCR and Stella sat on the other chair and watched the movie. By the end of the day she was on my lap sleeping. Mike came in and smiled at me as she rustled around my lap.
"Hero, wake up," Mike whispered. Stella opened her eyes just a bit and went back to sleep. He picked her up and walked her over to the car and set her in the car and buckled her seatbelt.

We got into the house after dropping off Stella to her mother's house. Mike was restless, pacing back and forth and just jittery. I finally pulled him down to the couch and put my legs and arms around his torso and got an idea.
"Let's watch a movie."
"What movie babe?" he asked, while rubbing my hands.
"I don't know, I haven't seen Phantom of the Opera yet."
"Why do you want to watch a chick flick?"
"It's not a chick flick, Billie Joe said he liked it."
"Well Billie Joe needs a dash of testosterone if you ask me."
"Come on Mike please," he shook his head stubbornly. I climbed onto his lap and wrapped his legs around his waist and gave him a puppy dog look.
"I guess we could," he sighed. I kissed him and chuckled.
"That is why I always get my way."
"Yeah, yeah whatever."
"Don't be jealous that I'm sexier then you Mike Dirnt."
"Jealous? Because you're sexier? My dearest India you make me laugh," he said with a posh fake laugh.
"Oh you know you can't resist me!"
"Wanna bet?"
I gave him a seducing look and kissed his neck. He was trying very hard not to shiver from my action. I kissed all the way from his neck to his jaw line and his all over his face. Mike couldn't help it; he shivered when my nails trailed his spine. I tapped my nails on the back of his neck and he closed his eyes and lolled his head back. He tried to kiss me but I pulled back, "you're trying to resist me remember?"
"I know and you win but try resisting me," he answered.
"Is this a game now?"
"Do you want it to be?"
"Touché Mike."
He grabbed me by the waist and kissed me all over my face and and neck. He stopped at the column of my neck and continued kiss there. I pulled back and smiled.
"Ok, we can't resist each other, which is probably why we're getting married."
"Oh come on! Let's continue!" he whined.
"No Mike, I want to watch the movie."
"I don't wanna watch the Phantom of the Opera."
"Then what do you want to watch?"
"I don't know."
"And that is why we are watching this one, I promise, you'll love it."
***
"So why is he living under the opera house?" he asked me.
"Because he was beaten as a child and found by Madame Giry to live there."
"And why is she falling for Raoul? He's a wimp!"
"Mike shut up and watch the movie."
"But I want to know this stuff."
"OK, what else do you want to know?"
"How is it you've never seen the movie but you know all the words?"
"Because I have the soundtrack on my MP3 player."
"One more question."
"What?"
"Do you want to use this for a theme for our wedding?"
"What?"
"Yeah, we should, use this for our wedding theme!"
"You're weird!"
"But I want too, this is an excellent option for us you know?"
"Are you going to wear a cape if we do?"
"Depends on what I look like in one."
"You would look sexy in anything."
"Should I wear a cape?"
"I don't know."
"We should have it on Halloween."
"How do you come up with this kind of stuff?"
"I don't know, but it is September, somehow Billie Joe got through it, and it'll take us a month to plan it anyway, so why not?"
"I should've thought of that."
"But I bet you to it so ha, ha."
"Oh you're mature."
"If I was mature I wouldn't be in a rock band."
"Ugh why do you always win?"
"Because we had to watch Phantom of the Opera."
"Which you loved!"
"OK maybe I did but that doesn't mean you have to make fun of me."
"I'm not, I think it's very creative that you want to do that whole theme thing going on."
"You think so?"
"I know so, let's do it!"
"Great!"
"I'll have a dress exactly like the one in the movie!"
"And I'll have those tight pants when they're in the Don Juan play!"
"Mmm, maybe not, it'll make you too irresistible and you wouldn't be able to dance in them."
"But I want to be irresistible!"
"And I bet you want to dance too?"
"Yeah I guess."
"You can be irresistible at the honeymoon."
"Where do you want to go on our honeymoon?"
"Somewhere far, where do you want to go?"
"I don't know."
"Where should we go?"
"Let's go to the Bahamas."
"The Bahamas?"
"Yeah, they're romantic."
"But that won't fit into our whole Phantom of the Opera theme."
"Fine, where do you want to go?"
"Let's go to Paris."
"That sounds awesome, I've never been there before."
"Ok, we'll start planning tomorrow, Saturday."
"I'll hold you too that."
"We are very tired," I said while he sat in my chair. I sat on his lap and pretended to fall asleep.
"Well we are about to have a wonderful lunch."
"What are we having for lunch Hun?"
"We are going to go to McDonald's."
