Jade was just waking up and making her and John some breakfast. She just had poured a cup of pancake mix on the pan. She hummed happily to herself while John played with his toy truck peacefully. For the most part, John was a good kid. He rarely ever cried unless he was hurt, or if some one was being too mean to him. She smiled hearing him make the sounds of the truck engine. Being her son, he knew what part made what sound.
"Mommy! When will breakfast be done? I'm hungwy!" He yelled from the living room.
"Soon, honey! Your plate is almost done. Please come to the table to eat!" If there was one thing that Jade barely let her son do was eat away from the table. The only exception, was Friday nights at movie time. John left his truck in favor of his pancakes. Jade put 3 pancakes on his plate, cut it up, and pour syrup on them. After putting the plate on the table for John, the home phone rang.
"Hey Rose! So is the date still on for today?" She'd been trying not to think about, but when Rose calls, that all it is.
"Hello to you Jade. It seems your excited. That's good. Yes I'm calling so you know what to wear and such." Rose laughed while Jade blushed.
"So what should wear?"
"Something formal and really nice. Don't bother with too much make up. Some eyeliner, light eyeshadow, and light lipstick."
"Formal?"
"Yes, your going to Black Butler."
"Oh. Thank for telling me."
"Your welcome. Kanaya and i talked about this for at least an hour. I'll pick you up at five okay?"
"Okay, see you there." Jade hung up and looked at her son. John was happily content with eating his pancakes and was getting some of it on his Ghost Busters pj's. She was surprised it hadn't landed in his hair. With in minutes it was gone. Jade took the syrupy plate from him before he decided to lick the plate clean. John wined a little but Jade gave him that look that only moms can give.
John Looked down and Jade cleaned the plate and put it in the dish washer. "Mommy ohn is sticky!"
"Is he now? Does he need a bath?"
"Yes! Ohn needs bath!" John could not yet pronounce his j's. Jade chuckled at her son. She looked at the time. 10 am. She had time. She started running John a bath with bubble water.
"John! Go pick out your toys to play with in the bath!" She called from the bath room. John meanwhile was happily picking his dinos, Ghost Busters' Van and his Nick Cage action figure. Jade turned off the water and waited for John to come though the door. Arms full, and a bright smile, John came running though.
"Mommy! Ohn's ready for bath! So is Nick!" John held up his action figure, his simile, filled with pride. Jade took off John's cloths and let him get in the bath. Jade left to let John have his play bath time and went to her room to pick a dress.
"Now, which is the best. It's black butler." She sighed and looked though her dresses. She decided on her black and green short dress. It came down to her nees, there was only one sleeve. coming out of the sleeve was a green and black swirl flower. The swirl green continued to flow in green lines down the dress. It fit her perfectly and complemented her curves.
After picking she laid the dress on her bed and called her friend Dirk.
"Yo, this is Strider."
"Hey Dirk! I was wondering if John could stay with you for tonight. I have a date-" Dirk interrupted her.
"Whoa, a date?! With who? This is great news!" Jade blushed at his enthusiasm.
"I don't know who. Kanaya and Rose planned this for me. But can you take John?"
"Yeah! i can't wait to see my little buddy. Dave'll be excited as well."
"Thanks Dirk. It means a lot to me. John will be happy too. He's taking a bath right now." Jade walked into her son's room and grabbed a plastic bag.
"It's no problem. I'll pick him up in an hour okay?"
"Thanks. I'll see you then!" She got some of his cloths an toys inside the bag. When she was done she put the bag on the couch and did some cleaning while waiting for John to get out of the bath. In about ten minutes, Jade was getting him a towel.
"Mommy, when's Daddy coming back?" John asked this while Jade put on his day cloths. A white shirt and a pair of jeans.
"Daddy...is going to be gone for a long, long time. But tonight Mommy's going find a different Daddy for you."
"A different Daddy?"
"Yes. SO you'll be going to Dave's house tonight." John smiled at that.
"Dave! I can't wait!"
"I know sweetie. Uncle Dirk will be here soon to pick you up in a little bit so pick the toys that you'll play with when you're with Dave." Then the doorbell rang and Dirk come inside after John ran to the door. Dirk let them say good bye and hugs and kisses. Then he was out the door and after a while Rose showed up. The two girls left and Rose parked in the parking lot. The restaurant was styled in an older house/mansion. Flower lights were put up around the place and in the back was a lake. Rose took her out of her awestruck moment and took her inside. Rose talked to the host and he took Jade to a table. No one was there yet.
