Chapter 4 My Wish is Your Command
Location: Rachel Leeds' House Mission: Control Daughter's Life Operative: Maria Leeds
"Well hello, what's all this," asked a very suspicious Maria Leeds.
Rachel and Josh looked up from the cups of coffee they where drinking.
Maria put a perfectly manicured hand on her hip.
"Uh Mom, good morning," Rachel said jumping up from her kitchen table.
"Yes, good morning mom," added Josh. "Did you sleep well?"
Maria eyed Josh sternly.
"Yes, I did. I trust your… sleep was equally pleasant," she asked looking from Josh to Rachel and then back to Josh.
"Mother," gasped Rachel realizing what she was implying.
"What? I come down stairs at 5 am to get a drink of water, and what do I find? My daughter and future son-in-law together, in my daughter's house, at 5 am in the morning, in my daughter's house!" "Mom it's not even like that Josh and I…."
"What Rachel is trying to say is I'm leaving for a mission today and I just wanted to say goodbye." Maria raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, was it pleasant goodbye," she asked smoothly.
Rachel glared at her mother.
"Nothing happened Mom. We were just drinking coffee and talking. That is, until you came down here falsely accusing me about something that is my business, in my own home." Maria rolled her eyes.
"Rachel don't be so sensitive. I was simply inquiring about the situation. No need for dramatics."
Rachel bit her lip hard to keep from replying what she wanted to reply.
"So," continued Maria, as she poured herself a cup of coffee. "What are you two talking about?" "The wedding," answered the couple in unison.
"Oh, wonderful," gushed Maria. "Tell me all about your plans."
"Well, I thought we could have a nice traditional wedding with all are family and friends, and…" "I wanted to make it a public wedding so all my fans could come, but no, it always has to be the way Rachel wants it," cut in Josh.
"Well Rachel why did you say no to that. It sounds pretty reasonable to me."
Rachel scoffed.
"Mother you must be kidding. I don't want a bunch of strangers at my wedding! I want a nice fairy tale wedding with family and… "Yes, yes, Family and friends. I know! But I don't see why Josh can't have what he wants too. I mean it's not like you have to invite all those people to your reception. And even if you did, it's not like I couldn't afford it."
"Uh mom, what do you mean you can afford it," Rachel asked. "Josh and I were planning to pay for it ourselves.
Maria laughed.
"Don't be silly Rachel. There's no way you could pay for such an extravagant wedding on your agent's paycheck. I'm more than willing to pay for the whole thing. You are after all my daughter." Rachel laughed nervously.
"Look mom, I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but Josh and I more than capable of paying for our own wed…" "Now wait a minute Rachel," cut in Josh. "Let's think about this. We have a whole life ahead of us to pay for. If she wants to pay for the wedding… I say let's go for it! Besides my dad is paying for the honeymoon, it's only fair."
Maria smiled smugly at her daughter.
"Yes Rachel, I'm only thinking of your future." Rachel forced a smile on her face. "How about we just think about it," Rachel suggested.
Maria squirmed but agreed that this was an "exceedingly excellent idea."
She then got her cup of water and went back to bed.
The minute she was out of hearing distance, Rachel walked over to Josh's chair and hit him, hard, against his head.
"Ow," yelped Josh. "What was that for?"
"Are you completely out of your bloody mind?! What do you think you're doing agreeing with my mother?! Can't you see what she's up to? She's trying to rule our lives. If she pays for this wedding she will hold it over our heads until the day she dies. And then if at all possible she'll come back as a ghost and HAUNT US!" Josh blinked at his fiancée.
"You know Rachel; I think maybe you shouldn't drink Irish coffee so early in the morning," he said pulling her cup away from her spot at the table.
Rachel laughed lightly.
"Josh, Josh, Josh. If I were you I would be worrying less about my coffee intake, and more about YOUR NECK!" She lunged for Josh's neck and proceeded to choke him.
"Je ne vous laisserai pas et la femme folle ruine ma NOCE! Je préférerais seulement vous tue maintenant," she yelled. "Si vous pensez pour une minute que je vais laisser sa course ma vie encore, vous êtes fou! FOU!" "Rachel, let...go," Josh managed to choke out.
"Jamais!"
"Rachel Leeds! What the heck are you doing?" Rachel turned to see her mother and Lizzie staring at her. She quickly let go of Josh's neck and composed herself.
"Mother, Lizzie, I was just showing Josh a scene from a movie he wants to see. I've already seen it. Isn't that right Josh?"
Josh rubbed his neck and winced.
"Yeah, right." Maria rolled her eyes.
"Rachel you shouldn't go to those things. They are way too violent. I mean for goodness sake's they have you choking your fiancé!"
Rachel forced a smile. "You're right mom. I'm sorry." "That's ok dear," Maria said smiling. "That's why you have me here, because you just don't know what to do without your mother around. What would you do without me?" Rachel thought….
Mission Status: Going quite well.

Orders:

Max: Ce la Vie… After all it is…The Leeds Zone!
Hope you like this chapter. As always I used an online translator so please forgive me for butchering the French language. I like to think that Rachel would scream in French if angry enough so I like to put that in. Anyways, Read and Review.
"Je ne vous laisserai pas et la femme folle ruine ma NOCE! Je préférerais seulement vous tue maintenant," means "I won't let you and the crazy woman ruin my WEDDING! I'd rather just kill you right now!"
"Si vous pensez pour une minute que je vais laisser sa course ma vie encore, vous êtes fou! FOU!" means "If you think for one minute that I'm going to let her run my life again, you're crazy! CRAZY!"
Jamais! Means "Never!"
Ce la Vie means That's Life
