"Dan, what's the solution?" Rachel felt helpless and she needed a direction and when she is in Daniel's arms, she doesn't wish to be the strong, fierce Rachel, who can solve her problems. She wishes to rely on him.
Not that she is weak, but she likes being taken care of by him.
She rested her head on his shoulder and looked at him, waiting to hear his suggestion.
"Spend more time with your mom and let everyone else share some old stories of you and your mom. It can be started from the time she found out about her pregnancy, what she did, how did she react, how she took care of you. Every memory of you spending time with your mother, should be known to you. That way you will feel closer to her"
Rachel just nodded her head.
"I have talked to others. They will share all the old stories with you" Daniel added.
"Do they hate me?" Rachel felt embarrassed about earlier and wondered what they all must be thinking of her.
"Of course not, how can anyone hate my amazing girlfriend?" Daniel smiled at her.
"Don't act cheesy" Rachel warned him and tried to get off his lap but Daniel tightened his arm around her.
Smiling at her wickedly, he said, "No one will disturb us for a while, assuming we are still having a serious discussion" Daniel winked at her, clearly implying something.
"Dan, since we had sex in Dublin, you slept with me almost every night. Are you a monster?" Rachel again tried to leave but Daniel instead laid her on the couch.
Getting on top of her, he asked, "What if I am a monster? It is not like you will abandon me even if I am." He taunted her, his hand crawling inside her t-shirt, touching her smooth skin.
"Dan, everyone is downstairs" Rachel warned him.
"This is not the first time we would be having sex while everyone is home" Daniel bit on her ear, while his hand unhooked her bra and freed her soft breasts.
Squeezing and kneading them, his lips licked the corner of her lips, before capturing them.
Rachel loses her defence when he seduces her like this.
'I am the one, who should seduce him but after that night in Dublin, he is the one, who keeps seducing me' Rachel angrily thought and roughly bit on his lips.
Daniel loved her fierce side, chuckling at her actions, he let her kiss him however she wants.
While kissing Daniel, Rachel felt something and her eyes widened in shock.
"Dan, wait" Rachel broke the kiss and ran towards the washroom, worrying Dan.
"Rach, you alright?" Daniel knocked on her door as she didn't come out in a minute.
"Fuck, Dan, can you leave my room?" Rachel nervously asked him from inside.
"What happened, Rach? You are scaring me" Daniel wondered if he did something that scared her.
"Dan, I got my periods" Rachel decided just to be honest with him.
"Oh" Daniel then walked towards her cupboard, he took out a comfortable night suit, and inner wear with sanitary napkins.
He knocked on her door and handed her the stuff.
Rachel was not embarrassed and she accepted it. They were now so close that these things stopped feeling awkward.
After a while, when she came out, the two headed downstairs for dinner as they can't have sex now for the next five days.
Everyone in the family was sitting at the dining table.
"Michael, tell us everything in detail" Anthony asked him excitedly.
Daniel and Rachel wondered what is going on as everyone looked damn happy and excited. They two joined others around the table.
"Okay, so Diana came three hours late…" Michael was narrating the events of last night, when Rachel interrupted him.
"Who Diana? What is happening? And grandpa Michael, why are you dressed so stylishly?"
Then James and Anthony excitedly updated her and Daniel of how Michael met with their favourite actress Diana and ended up going on a date with her.
"What? Grandpa Michael, you are so cool" Rachel excitedly shouted as she too was a big fan of Diana.
James and Anthony sulked in jealousy hearing her praise, Michael.
"Why are you two so jealous? Uncle Mike, finally found the woman he is in love with, you two had your share already, now let him have fun" William scolded the two old men for envying their friend.
"Hey, Will, I am not in love with her, it was just a date" Michael blushed and shyly explained himself.
"Oh my god! Is uncle Michael, blushing?" Catherine exclaimed surprisingly.
"Hey, Cat" Michael blushed harder.
"Please, tell us about your date" Rachel requested him.
"So, Diana apologized to me for coming late. Apparently, when I asked her out, she too felt excited to meet me. If I would have left the restaurant and didn't wait like I did, then she planned to take my number from Jimmy and approach me" Michael was very happy when he narrated the events of last night.
"We had a lot of fun. She is well versed in the history and politics, we talked about it, then we discussed Jim's play. She told me about some current projects she is working on. Then, she invited me to her home for lunch as an apology for making me wait"
Everybody loudly hooted when they heard this much.
Last night, after Michael's dinner with Diana, she invited him for lunch. The next day, that is today afternoon, he left for lunch from his home directly and therefore he didn't get the time to update James and Anthony with all these happenings.
The lunch extended for so long that Michael came to James' home just ten five minutes ago from Diana's.
He was therefore not present when the intense discussion of earlier happened.
"And the lunch went great. Diana is not just an amazing actress, but she is an equally great cook. She personally cooked for me…"
