A/N - Once again thank you, thank you for the reviews on the previous chapter.
And as promised here is the update (Tuesday my time in Australia!) for you all.
This is probably the chapter that most of you have been waiting for - and if it were a tv show, this would be where I'd be ending season 1. ;)
But don't worry there is still plenty more to this story - and I in fact had some new ideas for it last night/this morning...and also an idea for another story! (I swear my brain never quits thinking up crazy ideas!)
There are a couple of flashback scenes in this and they are in italics.
I guess there is nothing else really to say - except enjoy and you know the drill at the end! REVIEW!
Love always, KJ xoxoxo
Chapter 9 –
A month later after Santana had had Jayden. Rachel and Mikki were heading up the stairs of their apartment block having met after work to grab some groceries that they needed.
Mikki got her keys out of her handbag and opened their apartment door and the two of them walked inside, putting the bags of groceries on the table.
"I'm just going to go and take my shoes off" said Mikki.
"Yeah sure" replied Rachel and Mikki headed into her bedroom.
Rachel started unpacking the groceries and Sam came into the apartment.
"Oh good one of you are home" he said.
"Actually, we both are" said Rachel.
"Right, well some parcels came for here today and I got them off the UPS guy" said Sam.
"Are you stealing my parcels, Evans" said Mikki as she came out of her bedroom, having changed out of her work clothes into a pair of yoga pants and loose fitting top whilst in there.
"No, I am not stealing your parcels. However I am saving you a trip down to the depot to get them" said Sam.
Mikki laughed. "Well where are they then?".
Sam laughed. "In my apartment, I'll go get them" replied Sam, and walked back out.
"Thanks" said Mikki and went over to Rachel, where she was putting away some of the groceries.
"So what are the parcels?" she asked as they put more stuff away.
"Umm, just stuff" replied Mikki, as Sam and also Blaine came into the apartment, both carrying parcels.
"I'm guessing one of them has bricks in it, because it's really freaking heavy" said Blaine as he put a box and also packing bags down on the counter.
"Maybe they do" replied Mikki, with a laugh and went over to the parcels to see where they were from.
"Yeah, well I am totally guessing you have an online shopping addiction" said Blaine.
"Close eBay" replied Mikki, with a laugh.
Blaine rolled his eyes. "Hey, I wouldn't knock eBay, I've found some awesome collector items on there" said Sam.
"And yet, you don't buy groceries" said Blaine, looking at his roommate.
"Ohh, this one is from my mom and dad" said Mikki, looking at one of the medium size boxes that Sam had carried in.
She went and got a knife out of the kitchen drawer and cut through the tape holding the box closed and opened it.
The first she saw was an envelope addressed to her on the top of the pile of stuff that was in the box, which was encased in plastic.
Mikki grabbed the envelope and took out of the piece of paper that was inside and read it out loud.
"Dear Mikki. Here are some things that we got for Jayden, if you could please pass them on to Noah for us then it would be very much appreciated.
Also as well there are a few DVD's in here that your father found when he was cleaning out the study.
I believe that they are from when you were in high school and thought that maybe you might like to see them again.I hope you and all the others in New York are well, and hopefully we will get to see you and also Noah and little Jayden, either at Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Love to you, Mom.
Mikki looked inside the box more, and took out the bag that clearly was baby clothes and placed it on the bench. She then reached into the box and grabbed out the DVD cases that were also in there.
"Any of these sex videos" said Sam.
Mikki looked at him as did Blaine and Rachel.
"No, and even if they were, do you really think I'd be leaving them at home where my parents could possibly see them" said Mikki.
"You're right, guess not" he replied, with a laugh.
"Dude, that's so gross" said Blaine.
Sam looked at him and shrugged his shoulders, as Mikki went and opened the box that Blaine had said he thought contained bricks.
"So what is in that" he asked.
Mikki looked at him and grabbed a book out of it; a children's Golden Book featuring characters from Sesame Street.
"Okay isn't that a little young for you?" asked Blaine.
"They're not for me, they're for Puck, well Jay actually. I saw them on eBay and I remember that I had them as a kid and I thought that they would be good for Puck to read to his son when he's got him" said Mikki.
"That's really sweet" said Rachel.
Mikki looked at her and nodded. "Yeah well I wasn't going to give him the books I had at home to read, because they are mine and I would be wanting them for any children I may have in the future, and when I saw these lot on there, it was like big score".
"I use to freakin' love these as a kid and I would also read them to Stevie and Stacie when they were growing up" said Sam, grabbing one of the books from the box.
"Elmo, awesome" said Sam, looking at the book, as Blaine also looked at the books and pulled out a random one from somewhere in the middle.
"No way Aladdin, I love this movie" said Blaine, opening the book and smiling.
"Yeah, well put them back there for Puck" said Mikki.
"Sure" replied Sam, putting the book back.
However Blaine didn't and walked over to the sofa still holding the book.
"Umm excuse me Anderson, the book" said Mikki.
"Yeah, yeah okay. I just want to read it first though" said Blaine, sitting down.
"Oh my god, you're a huge freaking kid" said Mikki with a laugh.
"When it comes to the older Disney movies, yeah I am" replied Blaine, as he started to read the book.
Mikki looked at the others and shook her head and Sam and Rachel laughed.
"So what other stuff have you got here?" asked Sam, looking at the remaining parcels.
"Well guessing the softer packages, they contain clothes. There was this woman in Connecticut who was selling off a lot of her old baby clothes, some never even worn. So that was a huge score" said Mikki with a laugh.
"Why would people buy stuff and not wear it or have someone wear it" said Rachel.
"Maybe the kid out grew it before they got a chance too" said Mikki.
"True" replied Rachel, with a nod.
"And this I think are some DVD's that I found on there really cheap" said Mikki.
"Really" said Sam, with a smile.
Mikki looked at him. "And no stop giving that look, they are not that type of DVD" said Mikki.
Sam just smiled at her.
"Look if you don't believe me" said Mikki.
San took the parcel from her and opened it.
"Merlin, really" he said, when he saw the tv show that it was.
"Yes I happened to like that show" said Mikki.
"That is so sad" said Sam.
"This coming from the guy who can recite Avatar word for word" said Mikki.
"Hey that's an awesome movie" said Sam.
"No, really it's not" replied Rachel, who had been made to watch it by Sam, when she was laid up with her ankle injury a few months ago.
"Hello" said Puck as he walked into the apartment with Jayden in the baby carrier that he had gotten when he had purchased the stroller.
"Hey" said Mikki, looking at him, and going over to him and taking Jayden's carrier.
Puck looked at the boxes and packing bags on the table and counter.
"Have you been shopping online again" he said, looking at his cousin.
"Why yes I have, and the majority of stuff is for this little cutie" said Mikki, taking Jayden out of his carrier.
Puck looked at his cousin and laughed
"That's right, it's for you my handsome little man" said Mikki.
Puck sighed and looked in the box of books that Mikki had gotten.
"Golden Books, really" he said.
"Uh huh, and Blaine has stolen one as well, so make sure you get it back off him" said Mikki.
"Really Anderson, how old are you?" asked Puck, looking over at his friend.
Blaine didn't respond instead just chose to give him the finger.
Puck shook his head and looked to Mikki, who was clearly doting on his son.
"Thanks Mik, this is really awesome of you" he said.
"Not a problem" she replied, peppering kisses over Jayden's face.
"How much I owe you?" asked Puck.
Mikki looked at him. "Nothing, it's cool. My present to this one".
"Thanks" replied Puck.
Mikki nodded. "Yeah and there is also some stuff there from my mom for you, well for Jay, but you get what I mean" said Mikki.
"Cool, I'll have to call Aunt Midge and thank her" said Puck, as he got a bottle of milk out of the bag that he had for Jayden.
"Okay, if I warm this for Jay?" he asked.
"Yeah of course" replied Mikki.
"I can do that for you" said Rachel, going over to him and going to take the bottle from him.
"Oh it's fine Rach, I got it" he replied.
Rachel looked at him and smiled. "Let your friends help you, once in a while Puck" she said, with a laugh.
Puck looked at her and nodded. "Sure thanks. Just put it in some hot water for about two minutes to warm it".
"Okay" replied Rachel, taking the bottle that Puck held out to her and going over to the kettle and boiling it.
"I come bearing a lot of pizzas, you all better be hungry" said Brittany, entering the apartment.
"Definitely" replied Sam, going and taking them from her and walking over to the coffee table with them and placing them down.
Rachel poured some hot water from the kettle into a jug and placed the bottle for Jayden into it.
"Did you get a vegetarian one?" she asked, looking over at Brittany.
"Really Rachey, do you have to ask that every time we get pizza. We know by now and I'm sure they know down the pizza place, that we always get a small vegetarian for you" replied Brittany, with a laugh.
"I was just checking" replied Rachel with a laugh.
Brittany shook her head. "So Mikki's been on eBay again?" she asked.
"How'd you guess" said Mikki with a laugh.
"The number of parcels here, kind of a giveaway" replied Brittany with a smile and Mikki nodded.
Rachel got the bottle of formula out of the water that she had placed it in, as Brittany went over to where Sam and the others were.
"Umm how do you know if this is the right temperature?" she asked.
"Here" replied Puck, going over to her and taking to bottle from her and testing it on the back side of his wrist to see how hot it was.
Rachel looked at him.
"The skin on the back of your wrist is quite sensitive due to the number of blood vessels there and is a really good indicator for testing" said Puck, looking at her.
Rachel nodded.
"And it's perfect" he replied, smiling at her.
"Good, that's good" she replied, going over to sofa and sitting next to Blaine and looking at him with a laugh as he read the children's book.
"Okay buddy, I know you totally love your Aunty Mikki. But I think your dad has something for you" said Mikki, going over to Puck and giving him back Jayden.
"Thanks" replied Puck, with a laugh and took his son, giving him the bottle of formula.
Mikki went into the kitchen area and grabbed some serviettes and then headed over to the others and Puck headed into the living area and sat in the one of the arm chairs so he could feed Jayden.
"Vegie pizza for Rachey" said Brittany, handing her over the smaller box.
"Thank you" she replied.
"So what do you have planned for the weekend?" asked Mikki, looking over at Puck as she grabbed a slice of pizza.
"Nothing much, just going to hang out with this little guy at home" replied Puck.
"Can we take him shopping?" asked Brittany.
Puck looked at her. "And why do you want to take him shopping?" he asked.
"Because want to buy him some cool clothes and also see people gush over how cute he is" said Brittany with a laugh.
Puck laughed. "Sure, it's not like he hasn't got enough clothes already. But why not".
"Well you don't have to keep all those clothes I got at your place, you can give some to Santana and Dani for him, I don't mind that" said Mikki.
Puck looked at her nodded. "Yeah that might be an idea, it will certainly help them out a bit as well" he replied.
"So can we take him shopping?" asked Brittany.
Puck looked at her. "Yes Britts, you can take him shopping".
"Awesome, girls day with cute baby" said Brittany.
The others all laughed.
"Three hours though, tops. I want to actually spend some time with my son whilst I have him as well" said Puck.
"Promise, we will only have a few hours" said Mikki.
"Exactly, and we will find some amazing things for him" said Rachel, with a laugh.
"Yeah see that's what I'm scared of, and that's how much is this going to cost me" said Puck.
They all laughed and continued to sit around eating their pizza, talking with one another, and also fussing over little Jayden.
#SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW##SNOTYLWGTBTW#
Sunday evening, Puck had dropped Jayden back around to Santana and Dani's place and then headed over to Mikki and Rachel's apartment with the Chinese food that Mikki had ordered and he collected for them.
The six of them were sitting around the living area, eating their food and just casually talking.
"I'm kind of curious to see what's on those DVD's your mom sent to you" said Rachel.
"Oh yeah I forgot about them" said Mikki.
"Uhh, what DVD's that Aunt Midge sent?" asked Puck.
"Not sure really, mom just said dad found them and that there apparently from when I was in high school and she thought I might like to see them again" said Mikki.
"Cool. Go get them and we can watch them" said Puck.
Mikki shook her head. "Yeah, not when the others are here, just when it's you, Rach and I" she replied.
"Why are you embarrassed we will see what you looked like in high school" said Blaine, with a laugh.
"No of course not" replied Mikki, looking at him.
"Come on Mik, let these guys see them, it will be good for a laugh" said Puck.
Mikki looked at her cousin and sighed. "Fine" she said, putting her container of takeaway on the table and standing from the sofa and heading into her room where she had put the DVD's.
"So you were a senior when Rachel and Mikki were what juniors?" asked Sam, looking at Puck.
"Yep, one year older than them" replied Puck as Mikki returned to the living area.
"Which means they probably don't have much of you in them" said Mikki, as she went over to the DVD player, and opened one of the cases, and saw the disc said Prom and Nationals.
She closed up the tray of the DVD player and grabbed the remote and went sat back on the sofa.
"So what exactly is this dvd of?" asked Brittany, as Mikki pressed play.
"All it says is, Prom and Nationals on it" she replied as the DVD started.
"Maybe it's our senior year" said Rachel with a laugh.
"Oh man that would be a laugh to see again" replied Mikki, grabbing the container of chinese food that she had before, as the DVD started to play and they all turned their attention to the TV.
Eric Kapowski opened the door. Mikki's prom date, Artie was standing on the other side.
"Arthur" said Eric, with a laugh.
Artie laughed. "Hey Mr K, how's it going" he said, walking in.
"It's all good" replied Artie.
Eric nodded. "Girls" he yelled up the stairs.
Screaming could be heard from upstairs. "Oh god they're here"
Mikki came down the stairs first.
"Wow, you look so amazing" said Artie.
"Thanks" replied Mikki, noticing that it was in fact only Artie in her the foyer of her parent's house, as Rachel descended down the stairs.
She looked at Artie and Mikki and realised that her date for the evening wasn't there.
"Where's Finn?" she asked.
"Umm, he's ummm..." stuttered Artie.
"Artie" said Mikki, looking at him.
"He rang me just before I was leaving my house and told me he didn't want to do prom" said Artie, quickly.
"Oh my god" said Mikki.
"He bailed on me" said Rachel, as tears started to well in her eyes.
"Well yeah, but you can go with me and Mikki. So it's not like you don't get to go" said Artie, looking at her.
"I can't go with another person's date to prom" said Rachel and went running back up the stairs.
Mikki looked at her friend as she went running up the stairs, and then at Artie.
"Do something. Get Finn here or I don't know organise something. Because if Rach doesn't go, I'm not going" said Mikki, and ran up the stairs to comfort Rachel.
Artie walked off from view, muttering something about killing Finn.
"Midge we got to do something" said Eric.
"Yeah, I think I might have an idea. Poor girl can't not go to her senior prom" said Midge.
"What is it?" asked Eric.
"Turn off the camera for a bit" replied Midge.
The footage stopped at that point, and then returned a period of time later.
Mikki and Rachel, were at the bottom of the stairs, along with Artie and Finn.
"I'm sorry Rachel. Forgive my momentary lapse in judgement" said Finn.
"Sure" she replied with a small smile.
"Awesome" said Finn.
"Okay you four, let me just get one photo" said Eric.
"Dad" whined Mikki as they obediently posed for a photo as Midge filmed.
"Okay have fun" said Midge.
"We will" replied Artie, as Mikki opened the front door and saw Puck standing on the other side with a small bunch of flowers.
"Oh hey cous" she said.
"Hey" he replied, and then noticed that there were indeed now four people present, instead of the three that Midge had told him about when she had rang.
"Puck, hey. How's it going man" said Artie.
"Good, yeah" he replied, looking at Finn and then Rachel.
"Good to know man, see you around huh" said Finn, giving him a quick punch in the arm.
"Bye Noah, nice to see you again" said Rachel.
"Yeah, you too" he replied, as the four high schoolers left and looked towards his aunt and uncle.
"I'm sorry sweetheart, Finn only just got here and I honestly didn't think you'd get here before then" came Midge's voice from behind the video camera.
"Oh it's fine Aunt Midge. Didn't really want to hang out with a bunch of high school kids anyway" said Puck.
"Gees, Midge turn the camera off" said Eric, and the video ended.
"I'm just going to go" said Puck standing from where he was sitting, noticing the bewildered looks, except for Mikki who stopped the disc, everyone was giving him.
He walked over to the door and went to leave.
"Noah, wait" said Rachel, standing from the sofa.
"What Rachel?" he asked, turning back as she walked over.
"Did you come to take me to my prom that night?" she asked.
Puck looked at her. "It was nothing, I was only doing it because Aunt Midge rang and asked me too" he replied.
"Thank you" replied Rachel, kissing him on the cheek.
Puck looked at her. "It wasn't anything, I mean I was only going with you because Aunt Midge said it made me a bad Jew if I didn't".
"You're not a bad Jew, Noah. In fact you are far from it" said Rachel.
Puck looked at her and smiled. "You're not so bad yourself, Rachel" he replied and went to open the door of the apartment so he could leave.
Rachel however grabbed his hand and stopped him.
Puck looked at her and Rachel placed her other hand on the side of his face and then kissed him.
Mikki, Blaine, Sam and Brittany looked at her in shock as she initiated the kiss, and then at one another, not really believing what they were seeing before them.
"Did you want to go and grab a coffee?" asked Rachel, breaking away from the kiss.
Puck looked at her and nodded with a smile. "Sure, yeah that would be great".
Rachel smiled at him and Puck opened the door.
"See you guys later" said Puck, taking Rachel's hand in his.
"Yeah, see you man" said Sam.
Rachel and Puck left the apartment and the others remaining looked at one another.
"Okay what the hell was that" said Brittany.
"Yeah, and why don't you seemed fazed about this Mikki. It's your cousin and your best friend" said Blaine, looking at her.
"Well firstly I think they're probably actually good for one another, and second. I kind of already knew about the prom thing" she replied.
"You knew about it" said Sam.
Mikki nodded.
"How long have you known?" asked Brittany.
"Not long, only since Rachel moved here" said Mikki.
"Puck said something to you" said Blaine.
"He told me when he was trying to get me to shut up ranting at him that night, when he sang Sweet Caroline at the coffee shop just after Rachel moved in with me" said Mikki.
"When you dragged him out of the coffee shop and yelled at him" said Blaine.
Mikki nodded. "Yeah and he told me what happened that night".
"Mikayla, what the hell" said Puck as she dragged him out of the coffee shop into the street out front.
"I should be asking you the same question" said Mikki.
"I just sang a song, gees woman calm down will you" said Puck.
Mikki looked at him. "Just a song".
"Yes, you know words with music to them" said Puck.
"Oh don't go getting smart with me" replied Mikki.
Puck looked at her.
"This ones for you Rach. My god you have no clue" said Mikki.
"No clue as to what?" asked Puck.
"When we were in high school, Rachel had a small crush on you" said Mikki.
"Yeah, I knew that. I mean it was kind of obvious when I was a senior especially and the way she use to look at me" said Puck.
"Okay. Well don't you think it's a little unfair to be leading her on with a song, when she has just gone through a bad breakup" said Mikki.
"I wasn't leading her on" replied Puck.
Mikki looked at him and Puck sighed.
"Do you remember the night of your senior prom?" asked Puck.
"Yeah of course" replied Mikki.
Puck nodded. "Right, and how that jerk of a quarterback Finn Hudson, who took her to prom, almost didn't" said Puck.
"Yeah" replied Mikki with a nod.
"Remember how I got there just as you were leaving" said Puck
"Yeah, but you were there to see my mom and dad" replied Mikki.
Puck shook his head. "Your mom rang me and asked me if I could take Rachel to prom, since her date had bailed on her".
Mikki looked at her cousin in somewhat shock.
"Take her to prom" said Mikki.
Puck nodded. "Yeah" he replied.
"Okay why?" asked Mikki.
"Why what?" asked Puck.
"Why would you even consider taking Rachel to prom?" asked Mikki.
"Well firstly Aunt Midge said I would be a bad Jew if I didn't" said Puck.
"That coming from the mother of a bad catholic, okay" said Mikki.
Puck laughed. "Yeah, and well I always thought Rachel was kind of cute".
"Kind of cute" said Mikki.
Puck sighed. "I liked her okay. And I thought maybe if I took her to prom I could tell her that and I don't know".
"You thought that you would maybe get together and live happily ever after and have lots of Jewish babies together" said Mikki.
"Yeah, maybe. She would have been a lot better choice than Santana that's for sure. And Ma would have approved" said Puck.
"You're an idiot" said Mikki.
"Excuse me" said Puck.
"An idiot, god" said Mikki, hitting him on the side of the head.
"Hey oww" said Puck.
"Don't you ever mention this to Rachel, ever" said Mikki, and went to head back inside.
"Why not?" asked Puck, going to follow her.
Mikki turned and looked at him.
"Because right now, she is really vulnerable, especially after this whole thing with that jerk Jesse. And I don't think jumping into another relationship for her or even you, who for the record is only just divorced with a kid on a way with a woman who is now a lesbian, is the smartest of things" said Mikki, and opened the door and went back into the coffee shop.
"Fine, I won't say anything" he replied.
"So Puck liked Rachel kind of back in high school" said Blaine, when Mikki finished describing to the three of them what was said that night.
"Well I don't know if it was an actual like, in the way Rach clearly did. But he was a lot nicer to her when he was a senior then some of the guys there" replied Mikki.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Sam.
"Well firstly Finn only took Rachel to the senior prom, because Artie my boyfriend was on the football team with him. And when I told him that Rach didn't have a date for it, he suggested to Finn that he ask her, since he was kind of concerned that I wouldn't go along either, if my best friend didn't" said Mikki.
"So it was sort of a pity date then" said Brittany.
"Well yes and no. Finn wasn't that bad a guy, he just wasn't the brightest of teenagers" said Mikki.
"He was a dumb arse" said Blaine.
Mikki nodded. "Pretty much".
"So Rach wasn't popular then" said Sam.
Mikki shook her head.
"Some of the footballers didn't think being in Glee club was particularly cool and that. It was okay that I was a part of it, because I was also a cheerleader, but Rachel wasn't interested in that sort of stuff and she really only loved being a part of Glee. And when Puck joined in his junior year, some of the footballers who thought singing and dancing around wasn't cool, started getting a little mean. But Puck didn't care what anyone thought of him so he continued to do it, and even managed to get a few other kids from different cliques to join, when it became evident that you could be who you wanted to be, and stuff what anyone else thought" said Mikki.
"Kind of know that from college, he never gave a shit if someone thought something about him, as long as he was doing what he wanted" said Blaine.
Mikki nodded.
"Right, anyway. Some of the footballers who didn't think Glee was cool though, and not Artie for the record, he was also in it. But some of the others would give the club members facial slushies" said Mikki.
"Facial slushies?" asked Brittany.
"Is that some weird sex thing?" asked Sam.
Mikki laughed. "No, it's an ice cold slushie in the face. Not pleasant, let me tell you".
"You received one" said Blaine.
"Not as many as Rachel did, since I was a cheerleader and Puck threatened to bash in the heads of anyone who did that to me" said Mikki. "But yeah I got them" she continued.
"That sounds really unpleasant" said Brittany.
"It is, and probably a reason as to why I have to wear glasses now for reading, when in high school I didn't" said Mikki.
"Or it could be due to the fact that you're old" said Blaine.
"I'm sorry, and who's the oldest in this room" said Mikki.
"Well actually that would be me, and for the record I have perfect vision" said Brittany with a laugh.
"Same here, no glasses, unlike the hobbit and mouse" said Sam.
Mikki glared at him as did Blaine.
"Okay but getting back to Puck and Rachey" said Brittany.
"Yeah, does this mean that they're together now?" asked Sam.
"I guess we'll find out sooner enough, when they come back. Because if they don't think I am giving them a grilling about this, they don't know me very well at all" said Mikki.
The others laughed and then continued to watch the other stuff that was on the DVD that Mikki had received from her parents.
End Note:
So there you have it - Puckleberry is on! And knowing where this story is going, I can tell you there are some good story lines coming up, not just involving Puck and Rachel, but also the others as well.
Sorry if I made Finn come off as a jerk - but it was kind of essential for the story to get to the place it needs to be. And obviously in this story, Artie is not in a wheelchair since it does say he 'walked' and not 'wheeled'.
Also I haven't made the decision yet as to whether Finn is alive or not in this in the future - that is one thing that I haven't fully concluded in my head for this.
As for the part where Mikki is quite clearly an eBay addict - that's actually based on me! I am very much an eBay addict and love buying and also selling stuff on there! :) The part where she scored an old lot of Disney/Sesame Street Golden Books - is based on something I did in real life.
I was working in child care (I have qualifications in this, but left the industry because I find it to be strict and regulated and also they are coming up with some ridiculous concepts now - when I think a child should be having fun and not so much structure at a young age) and went on a mad book buying spree on eBay. And even though I am not working in the industry now, I kept most of the books I bought - especially Disney & Sesame Street ones, just because they are totally awesome books and I personally like to read them myself!
So that little quirk of Mikki's is actually my quirk - I admit I am an eBay addict!
(And maybe just maybe, a lot of my friends in real life, comment to me - that Mikki is completely based on me - and well in ways yes, she probably is, but not entirely!)
Anyway, once again thanks for reading.
I will have the next chapter up soon.
It is 90% finished and I just have to do some fine tuning on it.
So until then,
lots of love, KJ xoxoxo
