Chapter twenty one October 2007 - January 2008

In October I surprised Norman by getting the kids babysat by their nanny while I took him to this Japanese restaurant or should I say ninja restaurant for our second anniversary, I thought it would be a fun night out, which it was, not romantic in the least but I wanted fun, I think I got scared more then he did as people jumping out all the time scares me a lot even thou I'm in a lot and watch a lot of horror movies. The food was nice, but the company was wonderful.

"So what's your favourite thing we've done over the past two years Del?"

"I think meeting you was the most favourite thing, but just hanging with you Kass and Ming I love when we do that I like it even more now as it's more like a family. But mostly I like it when we're alone in bed and we're talking that's what I like the most. What about you?"

"I like that you've opened up more, you're turning into a stronger woman, you're able to do things on your own before when we met you didn't know how to do, I like it as it gives both of us some breathing space."

"So your happy how we are?"

"Yep, don't wanna change a thing, if I was to get married it won't be before I'm 45 I'm still too young to do so, I would want to marry you I might change my mind and want you sooner but I'm in no rush at the moment."

"Good cause neither am I. I won't lie and say I don't think about marrying you but I'm patient even thou you think I'm not I can wait till you ready as long as it's before I'm 50 ok I want to enjoy married life if it was with you."

"Ok sounds good."

"So what you think of this place?"

"It's fun might bring the kids next time they'd like it."

"Yeah I think your right, I'm sure Ming would, hell next time Sean's here we should bring him here, him being a ninja and all."

"Yeah that's would be awesome, see that's why I love you, we think alike."

"So Christmas mister what are we going to do it's our first in the same place together I would like it to be a big deal as it is, you wanna call your mum and see if she wants to come over."

"Yeah I'll do that I don't want it over the top."

"It won't be just a tree and food ok, I wanna do a proper Christmas or at least an Aussie Christmas leg of pork and veggies, one of these years I'd love you to come down and do an Aussie Christmas, cold food hot day, there's nothing like it I miss it."

"Sounds good."

"Now do you want anything mister? I have seen some things you might like so I'll get them, but is there anything you really want?"

"I'll think about it ok? Same goes for you, what do you want?"

"Besides you in a Santa hat and nothing else on Christmas Day? Or him with a ribbon, I would love a pandora bracelet that would be nice, with lots of green charms."

"Ok done. And I'll look up the bracelet for you. Oh I was talking to Troy Duffy today he was saying he has finished the script for Boondock Saints 2, he told me a brief outline that the brothers come back to Boston and are after more mobsters, this time there's a female cop after them, if that's the case you should audition for the part that would be awesome to work with you."

"Oh course I'd love to do something like that, with you hopefully it won't start before I get back so I can audition for it."

"Oh he still has to get the money for it. So it shouldn't be before July hopefully maybe October so let's just play it by ear."

"Ok keep me in mind ok, I'd love to do a movie with you and of course with Sean again it's been forever since I worked with him."

Overall October has been an excellent month, record released, anniversary and our kids 8th birthdays, which we did together with Helena, it just seemed easier to do it that way, and she was cool with it.

My album came out and it's number one being that way for eight weeks it's gone platinum already I'm so proud of it and because of it's success they are planning a tour in February which will be good, I've told the promoters I only want one show per city but if there's a demand then I will do more but I don't wanna be in Australia for more then a month.

Christmas is approaching, one thing I have started to love is Christmas in New York it's magical I've found a couple of photography books that I got Norman one was a very rare one they only made 500 copies so I think I Norman might like it, I find it hard to buy for him as we have different interests where if he had the same interests a me I could just buy what I liked but I have to think outside the box it's hard, but I think I did ok music and art sometimes a combo of the two, I hope he likes them.

Norman's mum is coming up for Christmas we get along a lot better since our first run in, I care deeply for her, probably more then I should for, if Norman and I broke up she wouldn't want to talk to me ever again, hence why I must try and keep him here, so no pressure just let him do his own thing.

I try not to spoil the kids but it's hard not too, I really don't have the restrictions that regular folk do money isn't an issue so I can pretty much get them what they want but we try to limit them to a few things, I've become an excellent hider of presents, their all wanting to know what they got.

Got the tree and decorations, I'm so excited I didn't really celebrate Christmas when it was just Kass and I, it didn't feel like Christmas and last year was a bit messy this year is a proper Christmas, real tree and everything, the tree turned up it's beautiful, I love the smell of a real tree, Kass and I set about decorating the tree I've gone silver and blue as it looked nice in the shop, we were doing this as Norman and Mingus turn up.

"Hey babe, what you doing?"

"Painting, plotting world conquest not sure which yet."

"Very funny, tree looks amazing."

"Thanks, hi Ming you wanna help decorate?"

"Sure."

"There's no set rules here just put stuff where you like."

"Ok."

"So Ming, Kass has been telling us about the dance at school you excited?"

"Nah I hate dancing, can't do it."

"Same here I can't dance but I still love to do it, I think Kass is the same."

"Del, I've seen you dance, I love watching you dance babe, I think Ming's like me I'm not a dancer either, sorry just can't do it."

"It's ok as long as Kass dances with me I'm ok, but if not I'll still do it on my own. You know what they say dance as if no ones watching."

"I think you already do that mum you're so embarrassing."

"Thanks Kassandra."

"So what's for dinner?"

"I honestly don't know I haven't thought about it, I'm not really in the mood, you wanna go somewhere?"

"Yeah or get delivered."

"I Think we might go turning Japanese what you think?"

"Yeah sound like fun."

And it was.
