Chapter 9
The next morning, BlackJack woke up and saw that Ai was still asleep. He quietly got up, got dressed, made breakfast for her and left a note for Ai. Then he got into his car a drove home. Once he arrived, he saw Pinoko asleep on the couch. He picked her up and put her to bed.
Later one Ai woke up and saw she was alone. She got out of bed, went to the kitchen and saw that BlackJack made breakfast for her and there was a note. She opened it and read it. 'Thanks for going on the date with me. Sorry that I couldn't take you to the festival but I did had a great time with you last night. Maybe one day we can do it again. BlackJack.' Ai smiled and put the note. Once she was dressed and ate her breakfast. "The guy can cook."
Back at BlackJack's house, Pinoko woke up and saw she was in bed. She got up, went to the living room and saw BlackJack. "How was it?" she asked.
"It went down smoothly. We talked for a while, caught up on more things, and then we went to sleep." He said.
"Is that all? I thought you like her?" asked Pinoko.
BlackJack replied, "Well I told her about the doctor I once loved, and she talked about a boy she once loved." He sat down at his deck. "Personally if we do get together it'll be on our terms really."
Pinoko said, "I think you 2 would be a great couple."
BlackJack chuckled. "I actually agree with you."
Later that day there was a knock at the door and when Pinoko opened it Ai was there with a cookbook. "Ready to bake?" she asked.
Pinoko said, "You know I am." She smiled then took her hand and the 2 went to the kitchen.
BlackJack saw them walked to the kitchen and smiled at them. 'She'll make a wonderful mother too if she ever had a chance.' He thought.
Once in the kitchen Ai asked, "What would you want to bake today?"
Pinoko said, "Carrot cake!"
Ai said, "You got it!"
As they started to cook, they didn't leave a mess this time but then when Ai took an egg and cracked it, red stuff came out. "BlackJack. Why is this red?" she asked.
BlackJack went into the kitchen and saw it. He then took the egg away from her. "I think the store got an embryo."
Pinoko asked, "What's inside it?"
BlackJack said, "We'll find out soon." Then he opened the egg and all 3 nearly screamed.
Ai said, "It really is an embryo."
BlackJack put it down and went to get the rest of the eggs. "I got to through the rest."
Pinoko said, "You can't do that it's from Trader Joe's. Anyway I think I'm going to get sick."
Ai said, "Go to bed and me and BlackJack will clean up the mess." Pinoko did and Ai told BlackJack said, "Well that's a wonder way to start the afternoon. A dead bird and a kid that can turn green."
BlackJack said, "I've seen so much weird things in my life but this take the cake."
That made them both laugh at the joke as they cleaned up and throw away the things in the bowl away since some got in there.
After they cleaned up, Ai went to check on Pinoko. She went into her bedroom and saw her in bed. "Feeling better?"
Pinoko said, "Almost though I'll never look at an egg the way again." She sat up. "I thought I can only see it on the internet not in real life."
Ai sat on the bed. "Well no one's really perfect. Everyone makes mistakes everyone once in a while. We just have to be careful and make sure never to repeat it."
Pinoko said, "Almost sounds like the definition of insanity. Redoing everything expecting a different ending."
Ai said, "Well you almost got it right." She rubbed her back a bit. "Maybe later on today we'll continue our cooking lessons."
