Let Me Kiss You One More Time, chapter 9
I just couldn't keep my mind off of Mike. After that night, I was crazy about him, and i just couldn't do a thing about it. While Mike was at the studio with Tre and Billie, and Adrienne was out somewhere, and Ayleen was out with her friends at the park. I decided to take a walk downtown, or just putter around. Grabbing all my gear and leaving a note for Adrienne or anyone who would come home I walked out the door and began.
The cold air flew into my face making my hair raise on my back. I shuddered only to pull my coat tighter around me. I walked down into the downtown part, with dark alleys, busy streets, stores; I guess the usual for a downtown area. I crossed over to the other sidewalk to make my way into a coffee shop, for of course, coffee. Ordering it up, I thanked, and paid the man at the counter and found a seat by the window. I watched as people hurried their way home or possibly to work. Punks with their other friends just roaming the streets, and wannabe gangsters acting all tough. Turning away from the window, I sipped on my hot coffee, or now warm coffee, left the store after I was done and continued walking back on the street.
It wasn't really exciting, but it gave me something to do, to kill some time. As I got darker, I thought it I should go home. So that's what I did. I walked all the way back to the house, to see Ayleen on Adrienne's lap watching TV.
"Hey guys," I said coming into the house, hanging up my coat and taking off my shoes.
"Hi mommy," Ayleen smiled and waved at me.
"Hi Rach," Adrienne smiled also greeting me.
"You guys hungry?" I asked going into the kitchen.
"Yea," Adrienne and Ayleen both said.
"Ok..." I said to myself trying to think of what to serve.
"Have you seen Mike Billie or Tre?" I asked rummaging through the cupboards.
"Nope," Adrienne said. Just in a nick of time, the boys came through the door.
"Hi guys," I said putting down some pasta and vegetables.
"Hey babe," Mike said kissing my cheek and going to the living room.
"Hey Uncles," Ayleen said smiling and hugging each of them.
"Hey cupcake," Tre said scooping her up and swinging her about then putting her back down on Adrienne's lap.
"Hello sweetie," Billie said smiling, that killer smile.
"Hey Hun," Adrienne said receiving also a kiss on the cheek making her blush.
I proceeded with supper from the help of Adrienne. We served it up and all ate, making jokes, just having fun. After supper I cleaned up and we all decided we should watch a movie. So we all watched grease.
Soon it was time for bed. Tre Mike and Billie left leaving only us girls.
"Well, I think I'll go to bed," I said stretching and getting up.
"Ok, good-night," Adrienne said hugging me.
"Good-night mommy," Ayleen said also hugging me.
"Night," I called going down the hall and into my room falling on the bed and closing my eyes. Only to be thinking of Mike.
"What did you do with Rachel?" Billie asked Mike.
"Nothing," Mike said. Billie raised an eyebrow, crossed his arms and grinned.
Mike gave in and sighed.
"Ok, we kissed," Mike said raising his hands in surrender.
"That's it?" Billie said.
"That's it," Mike smiled.
"Good-night then," Billie said yawning and going to bed.
"Night," Mike said going to his bed.
"NIGHT TRE," Billie yelled across the hall.
"NIGHT BILLIE," Tre yelled back.

The next day, in the morning I woke up and made some coffee. I scratched my head and yawned.
"Hey lazy head," Adrienne said laughing and sitting down at the counter.
"Hey," I mumbled half-asleep.
"How did you sleep?" Adrienne asked taking a mug and filling it with coffee, and making me one too.
"Good, thanks you?" I said wrapping my hands around the mug.
"Great," Adrienne smiled sipping her coffee.
"Anything planned for today?" I asked.
"No... Or not that i know of," Adrienne laughed a bit drinking some more of her coffee.
I sighed and heard Ayleen come down the stairs.
"Morning," I said rustling her hair and getting her a glass of orange juice.
"Morning," She yawned and walked to the couch.
"Someone's not an earlier bird," Adrienne said watching ayleen collapse on the couch and fall asleep again.
I laughed and shook my head placing the orange juice down.
Soon the guys came in around at 12, but only Mike and Billie arrived.
"Where's Tre?" I asked while mike kissed my cheek and wrapping his strong arms around my waist from behind.
"I guess he went out with that chick, Whatsername, to the park," Mike said resting his chin on my shoulder.
"I'm not your chin rest," I laughed pushing his head off.
Mike pulled the oh-so-famous puppy dog look.
"That isn't gunna work this time," I said pulling a side smile and walking into the living room.

Tre sat on the bench for about 15 minutes.
"She's not coming," Tre sighed, got up from the bench and walked away.
"Tre!" He heard a girl scream.
"Tre!" He heard it again.
He turned around to see Kassandra in a long jacket and jeans. Her hair down and sneakers on. A smile appeared on both of their faces and they both walked to the bench.
"I forgot, what's your name?" Tre asked her.
"Kassandra," She said smiling.
"Very pretty," Tre grinned.
"Thanks," Kassandra said.
"So, let me hear about you," She asked.
"Ok...well I'm in a band," Tre started.
"Oo, really? What's the band called?"
"It's called Sweet Children, anyways, I live with my dad, people think he's Santa Claus, oh I'm the drummer of Sweet Children, I'm 21, uh...Blue eyes brown hair. I like operation ivy, the Ramones, the who, sex pistols." Tre explained about him.
"How interesting," Kassandra said.
"You?" Tre asked.
"Well...I have brown hair blue eyes, I don't have a band, and I don't play anything, i have a job working in a music store, I pretty much like the same music as you, I'm 20, I moved away from my parents, though I try to visit them but it's a bit hard since their on the other side of the state, I have one sister name Amber she's 18 still lives with mom and dad, and yea that's about it," Kassandra also explained about herself.
"Good, now we know each other," Tre laughed and smiling.
"Yep," Kassandra also smiled.
"Um, it's pretty late but would you like to go to a movie tomorrow?" Tre asked.
"Sure," She smiled and hugged Tre make his stomach to somersaults.
The cold air flew into my face making my hair raise on my back. I shuddered only to pull my coat tighter around me.
