Chapter eighteen: the long awaited dinner party

Jade opened her eyes and glared into Celeste and Miriam's face, "what do you want?" whined Jade, she turned on her stomach and moved the pillow so it was over her head.

"Jade, it's Sunday, you need to get ready for the party," said Miriam moving the pillow. Jade groaned and sat up to glare at her friends.

"The parties not till seven why do I need to wake up early?" she glanced at her clock which read 8:00.

"Cause you need to get ready, Miriam's helping," replied Celeste.

"I know how to take care of myself and I've been to these before you haven't so I don't need any help," snapped Jade getting out of bed.

"Well then you can help me get ready," said Celeste brightly. Celeste was invited to be Tala's date.

"I'm hungry, so I'm going to eat breakfast," Jade walked out of her room into the kitchen, she poured herself some corn flakes and milk. She went into the dinning room where Kai and Tala were eating breakfast, "morning," grumbled Jade, she spooned some corn flakes and stuffed into her mouth.

"Aren't you supposed to be getting ready?" asked Tala, watching the girl eat.

"No," she replied bored, "they think that it takes all day, really with me it only takes half and hour, but because they're here they'd make it all day," she finished her breakfast and went to the lounge room to watch TV.

"Where is she?" asked Miriam running into the dinning room.

"Lounge room," replied Kai watching as Miriam ran to get Jade. They heard Jade whining, "but I don't want to get my hair done, I like the way it is and I don't need to go to the beauty parlour, I'm pretty enough as it is," Jade was being pulled back into the dinning room and up to the bathroom.

Jade sat in her room in her white bathrobe. She looked in the mirror and was glad that she didn't have to wear much makeup. Jade's long black hair was slightly curled or waved and hung gracefully around her face, Miriam and Celeste put a light pale pink eye shadow on her eyelids and a light pink lip gloss on her lips. From her ears dangled some crystals and around her neck was a royal green choker with a single crystal set into the middle. Jade got up and went to the dress she made, she slid it on and went to look at herself in the mirror.

The dress was a marvellous peau de soie satin strapless gown and was detailed at the bustline with a dazzling black and white crystal inlay, it had a stunning lace up back, with ties adorned with crystals, it was a mint green colour and had a slit up the right side of her leg ending at her thigh.

The dress covered her toes and flowed out but not too much, it also showed all her good curves. It came with a dark green shawl. Jade sat on her bed and put on the matching shoes that had crystals along the straps, on her left upper arm was a silver band. "Are you, wow," breathed Celeste and Miriam, "you look so wow," they both squealed and hugged Jade, Jade staggered back a little.

"Guys you'll crinkle the dress and you look great to Celeste and I knew you would look great in the blue."

Celeste wore a peau de soie satin gown in baby blue colour; it had glittering rhinestone straps and a pleated neckline. It was also designed by Jade and she called it a romantic and feminine dress, along Celeste's neck was a crystal necklace and on her ears were crystal studs shaped like flowers, her dress ended at her ankles and showed all the right curves. On her feet were some white high heels, Celeste's make up was baby blue on the eyes and a soft pink on the lips, and her hair was put into a fancy hairstyle.

"Jade where's your jewellery box?" asked Miriam who let go of Jade.

"It's on the shelf, what are you looking for?" Jade grabbed her dress and walked over to Miriam.

"Here, now turn around," Miriam put a crystal dragon hair clip in Jade's hair, "that should complete the look, now I'll go down stairs and tell the boys to get ready." Miriam left the room to meet the boys. Jade groaned and Celeste was giggling.

Kai and Tala were waiting in front for their dates to come down. Kai and Tala were basically wearing the same thing a black tuxedo, only Kai's wore a almost white green shirt and Tala had a light blue shirt, neither of them wore ties. Tala was holding a red rose and Kai simply just held his hands in his pockets, "gentlemen please be ready for your dates," called Miriam from the top of the stairs, "I would like to introduce Celeste," Miriam moved to the left and Tala gasped as Celeste came down the stairs holding onto the railing smiling. Tala handed Celeste the rose and kissed her on the lips, "please get ready for Jade." Kai looked up when he heard her name and couldn't take his eyes off of her 'wow' he thought. Jade walked down the stairs and held herself up as she was taught to, have your shoulders back and head straight, but like hell she would keep her head straight she looked at Kai and smiled 'he looks great.'

Jade reached the bottom and took Kai's arm, he was still staring at her and Jade was getting a little annoyed, "stop it," she mumbled.

"Sorry I couldn't help it if you look too beautiful," he shrugged, Jade blushed, they all said goodbye to Miriam and thanks and walked to the two limos waiting outside. Kai lead her to the one in the front and helped Jade get in.

"You look handsome too," Kai blushed and looked out the window.

"Can you move in those?" Kai asked moving his hand indicating the dress and the shoes.

"I designed the dress so that's pretty comfortable as for the shoes, I'll probably be tripping a lot," Jade yawned she was getting tired with all the hard work.

They all arrived and Jade and Celeste stared at Kai's house, "nice house Kai," said Jade, Kai took her arm and lead her into the house.

"Tala why don't you show Celeste around, I have to go to my grandfather and mum," Kai lead Jade into the ballroom and spotted his family. Jade looked and Kai, "nervous," Kai grabbed Jade's hand and squeezed it.

"A little," replied Jade moving gracefully through the room.

"Well you should be," said Kai, "good evening mother, grandfather," greeted Kai he bent down and kissed his mother on the cheek and shook his grandfather's hand.

Jade stood next to Kai and was happy they hadn't noticed her, "and who is this lovely young lady?" asked Kai's mother. Kai's mother had dark blue hair and the same crimson eyes as her sons; she looked to be king and was quite beautiful for her age. She had a long silk dress and long black gloves.

"Sorry mother, this is Jade Knight, Jade meet my mother," Kai gave Jade a slight push which Jade didn't need as she stepped forward to shake hands.

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Hiwitari and Mr. Hiwitari," Jade bowed and resumed her spot next to Kai.

"Miss Knight call me Veronica," said the women happily.

"If I should call you by your first name it would be all to polite for you to call me Jade," replied Jade smiling.

"Tell me about yourself Jade," said Kai's grandfather. He crossed his arms across his chest and looked at Jade.

"I am the same age as your grandson, turning eighteen recently, I live not to far from here and I attend the same school as Kai," she politely answered.

"You do not seem like many of the girls here you seem pretty strong and confident and you probably don't want to be here correct?" he asked, looking into Jade's green eyes.

Jade stared right back into his eyes, "you are correct sir, however I came nonetheless."

"What is your connection with my son, Jade?" asked Veronica curious.

"She lives with me mother, now if you excuse us," Kai guided Jade to the other side of the room.

"Thank you Kai," Jade leaned against the wall and sighed.

"Kai!" shrieked someone walking over and hugging Kai.

"Hey Kori," Kai hugged back when they moved apart Kai introduced, "Jade this is my big sister Kori, Kori this is Jade my housemate and friend."

Jade and Kori smiled at each other, "nice to meet you," they said at the same time.

"Anyway Kai, I'm going back to my friends," Kori went back to hug Kai, "don't lose her Kai," whispered Kori, they pulled away and she went back to her friends.

Kai stared dumbly at his sisters back, "whatever," Kai turned and looked at Jade who looked like she was day dreaming, "Jade you wanna dance?" Kai asked.

"Yeah sure," Jade got up and took Kai's hand, they walked to the dance floor, Jade put her left hand on Kai's shoulder and held his hand in the other, she blushed when Kai put his hand on her waist.

They moved around the dance floor and saw Tala and Celeste dancing on the opposite side, when the song ended, Jade and Kai walked back to their spots by the wall.

"Kai can we go outside? I want to get away, all the different perfumes have moulded together and it don't smell that nice," Jade and Kai both smirked and Kai walked to the back door.

The garden outside was beautiful and was lit up by many fairy lights; rose bushes lead to different parts of the garden. In the middle of the garden as a large fountain and four benches surrounded it. Kai walked beside Jade and pointed out some memories, they walked down one of the paths that went to a big lake, "nice Kai, I guess they also put some speakers out here to listen to the music," Jade knelt down next to the lake and stared into the depths.

"I knew you would like the lake, that's why I brought you here, it's one of my favourite spots that not many people know about, think yourself special for me to show you," Kai leaned against the tree and watched as Jade grabbed a rock and did a triple skip in the water. Kai closed his eyes and was happy that he had Jade to occupy him.

Jade got up and leaned up and put her lips to his. Kai's red eyes widened in shock, when Jade stepped back she was blushing, "sorry," Jade mumbled looking down at the floor, she was walking back to the lake but Kai grabbed her wrist and turned her around.

Kai lowered his mouth to hers and kissed her gently, his arms were wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer to him, Jade wrapped her arms around Kai's neck and was playing with his hair. Kai nibbled on her bottom lip asking for an entry, which he got, he deepened the kiss and Jade felt like she had melted. They parted seconds later panting heavily, Jade looked into his eyes that had a slightly dazed look; she smiled and pecked him on the lips.

He looked down into her innocent looking eyes, she was smiling but really it looked more like a smirk, he smirked and went to kiss her again. Jade moaned as the kiss deepened and found that Kai was playing with the straps on her back, Jade's hand was tickling Kai's neck and he shivered.

When they parted for the second time that night, "so the rumours at school were true," Kai said huskily, looking down at the flushed girl.

"The one about me liking you yes," Jade turned around and leaned against his chest, Kai's arms around her waist tightened.

"Good," Kai mumbled into her shoulder, he bit her neck and Jade gasped, he moved away and smirked.

"Why you vampire," said Jade feigning shock.

"That's gonna leave a mark," Kai said proudly capturing her lips again.

"Kai," Jade whined, "it's a sleeveless dress," Jade tried to look at her shoulder to see the soon to be mark.

"That looks beautiful on you," Kai started trailing kisses along her shoulder where her tattoo was.

Jade shivered and looked up at the moon, "Kai lets get inside, I'm kinda hungry," Jade moved out of Kai's arms and looked at him tilting her head and giving him an irresistible look and pouting.

"Don't do that it just makes me want to kiss you more," Kai snapped and together they went to the house to eat dinner.

"Tell me Jade who made your dress?" Jade, Kai, Celeste and Tala were sitting at the main table eating dinner.

"I designed and made the dresses even Celeste's," replied Jade taking a sip of the red wine (they get to drink wine cause they're of age and because they couldn't get coke) 'I seriously don't like this wine' thought Jade as she swallowed.

"Really, well you have good taste in style," Veronica was impressed, "what else can you do?" she asked.

"I don't know, Kai why don't you answer that?" Jade turned to look at Kai whose eyes widened. Jade squeezed his hand that they were holding secretly under the table.

"Uh…well, she's smart, knows martial arts, is very athletic and is an extremely good singer," said Kai looking at his mother.

"You know martial arts, what kind?" asked Voltaire shocked that she knew how to fight.

"Karate, Jujitsu, Taekwondo, Kung Fu and Judo," she replied in one breath. Voltaire nodded and was impressed.

"Jade it's getting late we got school tomorrow," said Celeste leaning and whispering in Jade's ear, "how'd you get the hickey?" she smirked leaning back into her chair.

"This is a good excuse to get out of school, and I'm not telling you," whispered Jade coolly. Celeste smirked and took a sip of her wine.

8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

It was around two in the morning and Kai and Jade staggered into the lounge room, Tala and Celeste were taken home by the chauffer. They were both light headed and dizzy, "we are so not going to school tomorrow and Tala and Celeste drank more than we did," Jade sniggered and she sat on the couch.

Kai followed and put a hand to his head and sighed, "that wine was so yuck," Kai said he looked at Jade who got up and walked up to her room.

Kai followed and saw Jade sitting at her dresser taking off the jewellery, make up and hairclip, Kai leaned against the doorframe and watched as Jade was struggling to get the choker off, he walked up to her and helped out, "can you help with the straps?" Jade asked putting the choker in her box she was slightly blushing.

Jade held her dress up and turned and kissed Kai, "thankyou," she went to her wardrobe and got changed into her pyjamas. Kai was still in her room, "turn off the lights before you leave please," Jade slid into bed before kissing Kai again.

Kai smirked and went to her side and bent down and brushed some of her hair out of the way before passionately kissing her, "goodnight," Jade was left breathless and Kai left turning the lights off.

Jade scowled 'what a good kisser, dickhead leaving me in the dark, literally' Jade got up and opened the curtains so the moonlight shone into the room.

88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Kai lay awake in his bed 'its official I'm asking her on a date, damn good kisser.' Kai fell asleep smiling happily.

What'd you think they found out about each others feelings and that was like their second kiss, it was also romantic and the family likes Jade so that could be good. Please review pretty please.

Don't walk ahead of me,

I may not follow,

Don't walk behind me,

I may not lead,

Just walk beside me and be my friend.
