Billie Joe Armstrong Is My Neighbor And Yes, I love Him, chapter 4
I woke up the next morning and Billie was in the kitchen trying to cook breakfast.
"Good morning Rachel, power's back on!" He said, sounding in a great mood this morning.
"That's great. And look, it's not raining as hard as yesterday. So what are you cooking?" I asked, while going over to the kitchen table to sit.
"Well, I started cooking bacon and eggs, but I was like, screw this! Cereal is easier!" Billie Said. God. He was so cute!
"You are in a really good mood this morning. Why?" I didn't know Billie too well, but I was sure he wasn't like this every morning.
"Oh I don't know? I guess you just bring out the best in me." He said. Then brought over a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch over to me.
"Thanks. How did you know this is my favorite cereal?" I asked.
"Well, it's my favorite too!" he said in excitement.
"You're so adorable Billie Joe!" So true. He totally was.
"Is that a good thing?" He asked with a smirk on his face.
"Totally."
"So Rachel, what do you wanna do today?" He asked while bringing his cereal bowl over to the table to sit next to me.
"Oh I don't care. Whatever you want I'm fine with."
"*ring! ring!*"
"Hold on, let me get that." Billie said while getting up to answer the phone.
"Hello? Hi Mike.
Oh fuck I forgot!
Yeah, I can go. Ok see ya then. Bye."
"That was Mike, I'm guessing." I said.
"Yep. I think I may have figured out what we can do today." Billie said.
"Oh yeah? What?" I wasn't sure what he was going to say.
"Well, next week is the Grammy's and well since I don't have a date, do you wanna come with me?"
"Oh my God! Are you serious? I would love to go!" I was so excited. I mean it's the Grammy freakin awards!
"But wait, you said you knew what we can do today?" I asked, still excited.
"Oh, well I was going to go pick out a tux. So I was thinking you can come pick out a dress. It won't cost you any money or anything so don't worry. You can get any dress you want."
"Holy shit Billie Joe! You are the best guy ever!!" I got up from the table and went to go give him a hug.
"Thanks." He said while putting his arms around me to hug me back.
"You know what? I am going to go back over to my house to take a shower and get dressed."
"Alright. Just come over before 1:00 so we won't be late." Billie said.
"Ok." I said while I put my shoes on and opened the door.
"Bye Billie."
"Bye Rachel."
I shut the door and walked across the street in Billie Joe's pajamas.
The first think I did when I got inside was call my Mom and tell her that I was going to the Grammy's. She was really excited for me and was sort of in disbelief. Then I took a shower and got dressed. I was really excited about going to go to the Grammy's, but I was more excited about being with Billie Joe. Just being with him made me happy. And I had a feeling that he felt the same way about me.
It was around 12:00, and I went back over to Billie's. I rang the doorbell, and then he opened it.
"Hi Rachel!"
"Hey Billie Joe."
"Come on in."
"Ok."
Billie and I walked over to the kitchen table to sit.
"I called the place that we are going to today, and they were going to get a bunch of dresses ready for you."
"Oh thanks! I still cannot believe that I'm going to the Grammys with you!"
Billie Smiled. "I'm just happy that a pretty girl like yourself is going with me."
I just smiled, and Billie blushed a little. It made me feel really good when Billie would compliment me like that. I don't think that I am very pretty, but for some reason Billie does. And, he makes me feel more confident about myself.
"So, maybe we should get going now?" Billie said.
"Alright."
We walked out to Billie's BMW. and both got in. Billie started to back the car out of the driveway.
"You look so cute in your sunglasses!" I told him.
"Thank you! You look pretty cute in your's too!" He said. I laughed a little.
"So.. Green Day is nominated for a bunch of Grammys. huh?"
"Yeah, we are."
"You guys are so gonna win. I know it.."
"Damn, I hope so. You know, we are also performing at the Grammys." Billie said.
"Really? That's hella cool. I've never seen Green day live."
"Then it should be fun. I mean, we won't be as crazy as we are at our concerts, but it should be ok."
Billie pulled up to the store where we were getting our outfits. We got out of the car and began to walk inside. Mike and Tre were inside. They already had their tux's on.
"Hey Guys." Billie said.
"Hey Bill, hey Rachel." Mike said.
"RACHEL! I missed you!" Tre said while running over to hug me.
"Hi Tre." I said kinda shocked.
"Sorry, I'll get off you now" he said.
"It's ok" I said, smiling. Tre was so funny. I barely knew him, and already I could tell that he was full of personality.
"This must be Billie and Rachel." A lady who worked their said.
"Yeah, I'm Billie."
"I'm Rachel."
"Well, I have some things already in the dressing rooms picked out for you two." She said while escorting us to where the dressing rooms were.
"I'll leave you two alone. If you need me for any reason, I will be behind that front desk. she said and walked away.
"Ok, Billie when I find a dress I like, I want you to tell me if it looks ok. Alright." I told him.
"Relax babe, you'll look fine no matter what you wear. But ok, I will tell you what I think of the dress when you find it." He said, then leaned over to kiss my cheek.
We each went into the dressing rooms. Mine was right next to his, so I could talk to him while finding a dress. There were so many dresses to pick from. Finally, I found a dress I liked. It was black with hot pink trim. It went about to my knees and hugged every inch of my body. It also had a small black sweater to go with it. I wasn't sure if it really fit in with the whole punk scene. I wasn't really punk at all. I told Billie that I found a dress and he said that he found a tux.
"Ok, let's each come out at the same time. So I can See how you look, and you can see me." I said.
"Sounds good." Billie said.
We each opened the door at about the same time, and saw each other.
"Rachel! You look hot" Billie said, while his jaw dropped open.
"You look hot! Look at those leather pants."
(**Billie was Dressed how he was at the VMA's**)
"Seriously Rachel, you look hot!" Billie said while coming over to me and smiling.
I didn't though. But I mean, how many girls think of themselves as hot? I certainly wasn't one of them.
"So I guess you like this dress?" I asked.
"Fuck yeah! You look unbelievably beautiful."
"Well, did I mention those tight leather pants? You look sexy!" He did! damn! He was turning me on!
Billie kissed my cheek again. "Hey, Let's go see if Mike and Tre like what we're wearing."
"Ok" I said. We walked out to wear they were and It seemed like they both liked how we looked.
"You two look great!" Mike said. Tre was just staring at me.
"You ok Tre?" I asked, kinda nervous about what he might do next.
"Marry me Rachel!" Tre said, then jumped into my arms. Almost knocking me down.
"Tre, get off her!" Billie said.
"Sorry, sorry. Sometimes I just cannot contain myself." Tre said.
"Well, I think that I am going to change back into my regular clothes now." I said.
"Alright" Billie said. I walked into the dressing room.
Billie Joe's POV
I watched Rachel walk back to the Dressing room. I was amazed about how beautiful she was. I thought I was going to die when I saw her in that dress. She looked so fucking hot! She had the most amazing body. Not too fat, not too skinny. Her personality was beautiful as well. She is a very down to earth girl, which I find extremely attractive. Just thinking about her made me want her so much more.
"Billie snap out of it! You were daydreaming." Mike said.
"Oh, sorry." I said.
"Bill, If you break up with Rachel, I'm getting her on the rebound. Not Mike. Right?" Tre said.
"Whatever Tre" I said and rolled my eyes.
"Where are your women?" I asked Mike and Tre.
"Well, both of us are divorced, we don't have girlfriends, so I guess we are going solo." Mike said
"I have an Idea!! Or we can share Rachel!" Tre said while jumping up and down like a 6 year old.
"Don't count on it." I told him.
While I waited for Rachel, I went up to the desk where that lady was and told her that we were going to get those outfits to wear for the show. I went to go change back into my clothes and came out to find Rachel waiting for me.
"Ready to go?" I asked.
"Yep." she said.
We both walked out to the car. She was carrying her dress and I was carrying my tux.
Back to Rachel's POV
We put our stuff in the back, then got in the car.
"So Billie, are you getting excited about the Grammys?" I asked.
"You know, I thought I would be more excited by now, but I'm not. Nothing is really motivating me to win. I mean if we do win, we get an award. Big deal. I know that sounds kinda selfish but, what can I say?" He said.
I couldn't belive what I was going to say next, but I said it anyway.
"Billie, I've got an idea to really help motivate you." I said.
"I'm listening.." Billie said, sounding kinda confused.
"Well, if Green Day wins at least 1 Grammy, that night I will have sex with you." I told him. I could tell that he was pretty surprised, because he almost hit a telephone pole.
"Shit! Are you sure? I mean you're still a virgin.."
"I'm sure Billie. You mean a lot to me, and I could not think of any other guy I would rather do it with."
"Wow." He said.
"Did that motivate you enough?" I asked, knowing that it did.
"Hell yeah it did! I want to win more than ever now!"
"I'm Glad." I said. Billie doesn't know, but even if Green Day wins zero Grammy's, I am planing on having sex with him anyways. Billie Drove us home. We got out of the car and I told him that I better be getting home now. Billie gave me a hug and said goodbye. He really liked physical contact, and I found that pretty sexy! I walked across the street and thought of nothing but Billie from the moment I got home, to the next morning when I woke up.
"Good morning Rachel, power's back on!" He said, sounding in a great mood this morning.
"That's great. And look, it's not raining as hard as yesterday. So what are you cooking?" I asked, while going over to the kitchen table to sit.
