So Now What???, chapter 6
*Still Mike's POV*
About 3 hours later it started to storm really bad and it was getting dark. I heard the phone ring and Rebyl leaned forward and picked it up.
"Hello? Yeah, Okay, yeah Mike's still here, no, yeah I'm sure he will, ok, yeah, love ya, bye"
"Who was that?"
"My parents, apparently some guy got in a wreck on the freeway and it is raining too hard to go on another road so they're staying at a hotel for the night, they wanted to know if you would spend the night here so I'm not alone."
"Of course," I told her.
We sat and watched Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer on TV. "Rebyl," I called out of the blue.
"Yeah?"
"Will um, you be my girlfriend?" I blurted out before I had time to stop myself.
"Of course," she said with a huge toothy grin. I smiled back and turned back to the TV to finish watching the movie.
"Do you still feel crappy?" I asked her.
"Yeah," she said. Now that I look at her, she did look sick. I stood up and walked into the kitchen and made her some chicken noodle soup. As I stood there, waiting for the soup to cook, I realized how much trouble I'm going to be in when Billie finds out that I'm dating his daughter. I was also very happy to be dating her. Who wouldn't? Except Frankie, but hey he's gay. I grabbed a can of root beer and took the soup out of the microwave the walked with it back into the living room before handing it to her.
"Thanks Mike," she said gratefully. She started eating. She needs to stop looking so cute. I sat down next to her and watched her eat. After she was finished, I picked up her plate and can and put them away, then I came back and she wasn't on the couch and I heard the shower in her room going. I walked upstairs and sat on her bed debating whether or not to get in with her. I decided to, but I would knock first. I walked up to the door and right as I went to knock I heard something fall so I just skipped the knocking and went in. I looked in the shower and saw Rebyl on the floor unconscious.
"Rebyl wake up!" I picked her up and carried her to her bed. I watched her eyes open.
"OH, shit Mike, don't scare me like that!" she screamed.
"Sorry, just getting you back for throwing your alarm clock against the wall," I snickered. I have a feeling she knew I was going to say that.
*Rebyl's POV*
"Sorry, just getting you back for throwing the alarm clock at the wall," he snickered. I knew he was going to say that! I got up and put on some PJs and lay down next to Mike on my bed. I snuggled up close to him and closed my eyes.
"Rebyl, what happened to you in the shower?"
"That always happens, scared the shit out of my dad and almost ruined my mom and dad's marriage the first time I did that."
"So that's why your mom was gone for a long time!"
"Yeah," I snuggled up closer to him and he cradled me in his arms.
"Merry Christmas Rebyl."
"Merry Christmas Mike," I said that and sighed one last time before falling asleep.
[i]I'd do anything just to fall asleep with you, will you remember me? Cause I know I won't forget you<i/>
*Next Morning, Billie's POV*
Cool, we get to go home! We all piled in the car and started driving home. I looked around to house when we got home and saw no messes. I walked into the kitchen and saw a bowl that looked like it had soup in it. Now where are Rebyl and Mike? I walked upstairs and into Rebyl's room expecting to see just Rebyl but Mike was there too. Now most of you are probably thinking I'm about to blow up but no, I'm not like that. I just chuckled to myself and walked out of the room.
"Did you find them?" Adie asked.
"Yeah, they were both in Rebyl's room sleeping," I replied.
"Awww... is it just me or do they have a thing for each other?"
"I think so," I implied
"I talked to Rebyl about it and she just kind of shrugged."
"She likes him."
"Yup."
"He likes her."
"Yup."
*Rebyl's POV*
I woke up the next morning feeling much better. I looked next to me and let out a yelp, forgetting Mike was there. I just sighed and stood up. I looked at my digital clock. Whoa! 12:30! I walked out of my room and downstairs. I walked down to see my parents with angry faces.
"REBYL JAYDE! WHAT WERE YOU DOING SLEEPING WITH MIKE?" my dad yelled.
"I um... " I just looked at him and noticed as a smirk came across his face.
"I'm just kidding, I'm not mad." I let out a sigh of relief and heard Mike coming down the stairs. My dad put his mad face on and walked up to Mike.
"MIKE WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, SLEEPING WITH MY DAUGHTER?" I just smiled, signaling to Mike that my dad was just joking.
"Oh, about that, we stayed up late into the night having wild sex like horny monkeys until we couldn't breathe anymore." My dad's face dropped.
"What?"
"Dude, I'm just kidding." My dad sighed with relief the same way I had just done. Mike and I started cracking up and fell to the floor, my dad scowling at us.
"So are you guys and item now?" my mom asked. I stopped laughing.
"Yeah, we are," I replied, smirking at the look on my dad's face.
"You're kidding right?"
"No, this time I'm not."
"Oh, uhm, well then... "
"You don't care do you?" Mike asked.
"Would it make a difference if I did?"
"No," Mike and I said together.
"I don't care, you guys have fun. Get married for all I care," my dad said laughing.
"We might one day," Mike said. My dad spit out the coffee he was drinking at the moment.
"Thinking a little ahead aren't we Mikey?" he said.
"I guess a little," Mike replied, shrugging. My mom and I were giggling this whole time.
"Where's Ava?"
"Upstairs in her room, playing with Jake."
"Alright." I walked up to Ava's room and walked in.
"Hi mommy!" Ava yelled and gave me a huge hug.
"Hi baby, did you have fun at the zoo?"
"Yeah! It was so fun. We got to go behind the scenes! I got to pet a giraffe, a dolphin, a zebra, and a snake!" I giggled at her enthusiasm.
"A snake! Did it bite your arm off?"
"No mommy, it was a BABY snake, see, I still have both of my arms." She held up her arms to show that she had them both.
"Oh good, I was afraid it bit your arm off."
"No silly, it doesn't bite."
"Good."
"Is Mike my new daddy?" she asked out of the blue.
"What makes you think that?"
"Well, he held you close like grandpa does to grandma, and they are your mommy and daddy.
"Well, he isn't your daddy yet, but he might be one day, would you like that?"
"Yeah! That would be SO cool! Mike would be a good daddy and Stella would be my sister AND my aunt!"
"I guess you're right." Wow, she sure has the family tree down, at least better than Jake.
"You guys have fun."
"Otay Webby," Jake said
"Otay mommy!"
I walked downstairs again to see Mike at the table with a cup of coffee and my dad across from him. I really didn't want to go to fast with Mike because of other bad relationships I've had. I'm just going to take it slow... kinda.
"Hey Rebyl," Mike and my dad said in unison.
"Hello." I walked into the kitchen and grabbed some Fruit Loops, poured them in a bowl, and took them back to the table.
"Since when do we eat in the dining room and not in the living room?" I asked.
"I don't know," my dad answered. Mike went in the kitchen and grabbed a spoon. He sat down and took a bite of my cereal.
"Hey, meanie!" I said and stuck out my tongue. I learned a lot from Ava. He just laughed and took another bite. I picked up my bowl and ran into the living room, Mike right behind me, my dad with a goofy smile behind us. I went into a corner of the living room where Mike couldn't get me and began eating my cereal and Mike gave up trying to eat it. Once I was finished; I walked back into the kitchen and put my bowl in the sink. I walked back out into the living room and sat in between my dad and Mike. Mike grabbed my hand and played with my fingers. I was happier than ever right then.
"I'm gonna go take a walk," I said pointing at the door. When I say I want to go take a walk, everyone know that means I usually need time to think about stuff, so obviously no one offered to come with me, just the way I like it. Really, I didn't need time to think, I was just going to Bono's house to talk to Nibs. I grabbed my jacket and walked out the door. Bono lived a 50-minute walk away form my house. I walked down the street and came to the poorer parts of town. After around an hour I walked up Bono's drive way. I rang the doorbell and a tired Nib's answered.
"You realize your hair is still pink right?"
"Yeah, I just did the roots," I told her.
"I thought you didn't like it."
"That was when Trè first did it, now I think it's awesome!"
"Oh, right, well come on in, where's your dad's car?"
"I walked here."
"You WALKED?!"
"Yes, I did."
"Well then." We walked into her house and sat on the couch.
"So what's up?" she asked.
"I had to came and tell you I'M DATING MIKE! I'M DATING MIKE! I'M DATING MIKE!" I said with a happy dance.
"Lucky bitch!" Nibs yelled.
"Who's a lucky bitch?" Bono asked as he walked in the room.
"Rebyl! She's dating Mike!" Bono looked at me with the most priceless expression on his face.
About 3 hours later it started to storm really bad and it was getting dark. I heard the phone ring and Rebyl leaned forward and picked it up.
"Hello? Yeah, Okay, yeah Mike's still here, no, yeah I'm sure he will, ok, yeah, love ya, bye"
