Chapter 5

After an hour of trying on suits with Molly Jack finally found a black suit that had belonged to Molly's son when he was just about Jacks age.

"It fits about perfectly!" Molly exclaimed

"Just about." Jack replied going to the full length mirror to look at himself

"So are you ready to go?" Molly asked him

"Yep let's go."

The restraunt that they were going to was just about 3 blocks away and would have easily token them about 5 minuets to drive took them little over half an hour in the new York traffic and found them selves a couple minuets late but where surprised to find that no one had shown up yet. Molly found some friends of hers and left Jack to just look around at the waiting room of the restaurant he heard the door open and turned to see Cal leading Ruth in. Jack was just about to hold out his hand to say hi to them when Cal noticed the countess and practical speed walked right over to her with Ruth. Jack was watching this when Rose walked in he turned around to see Rose in a red and black dress that looked fabulous on her and he was token away by her beauty. Jack went to Rose took her hand and kissed it.

"Saw that in a 50's movie once and always wanted to do it." He said with a smile. Rose laughed and gave a little blush. "Shall we?" he asked holding his arm out to her.

She gave another little laugh before replying "Yes we shall" and linking her arm through his. They walked down the stairs to the actually eating area and found Cal and Ruth talking to a group of people. Rose started pointing out people to Jack but he was so captivated by her that he couldn't concentrate on what she was saying. Rose then led him to the table to find that Molly and Ruth and Cal were already sitting there along with some other people Rose had pointed out but Jack couldn't remember. When everyone had sat down Ruth started the conversation in hopes to embarrass Jack.

"How are the, how to put this nicely, slums?" Rose's jaw dropped at her mothers question and before she could reply Jack had started talking.

"Very good I get cable and I can actually leave." Everyone laughed at the joke he had made of the question and from Rose's point of view her mother was starting to look angry but being a women of such high society she knew how to hold the cool calm and collected look.

"Where do you live right now?" asked another person

"Well right now I live in the 'slums' as Ms. Dewitt Buktar has kindly pointed out but I don't spend much time there usually I'm traveling from place to place seeing the sights."

"And you find this kind of living acceptable?" Ruth asked again trying to embarrass Jack.

"Sure why not? I mean it's the way I want to live and this is the way you want to live so I don't see any difference I should ask you the same thing if this kind of living is acceptable. I mean no offence but how can you stay in one spot your entire life and not see the world see I don't see how you can do that that's why I travel from place to place cause I have to see the world and as long as I am a living breathing person who can do things on there own I will be traveling from place to place. I guess you could say I'm making my life count for me." Jack said winking at Rose as if to tell her that that speech he had made was said especially for her. Ruth looked token aback as her second attempt at embarrassing Jack had gone wrong.

"That's a very fine statement young man!"

"To making each and every day count." Rose said holding her glass up to make a toast.

"To making it count." Everyone else chimed in except Ruth and dinner wore on for a couple of hours before Rose leaned across the table to whisper to Jack "The men are now going to go have brandy and play cards."

"Well it has been a very fine evening with you girls but please excuse us." Said a gentleman standing up.

"Are you going to be all right?" asked Cal as he got up.

"No I'll be fine."

"Going to join Jack?" asked the gentlemen.

"Um no I've got to get back to my apartment." Jack said as he hastily handed something back to Molly.

"Probably wouldn't interest you anyway." Said Cal coming by Jack "Mostly politics not the kind of stuff you would watch anyways."

"Do you really have to go?" asked Rose when Jack came around to her to say goodbye. He had a twinkle in his eye when he kissed her hand again and she found him giving her a piece of paper before walking away looking at her. The note he had given her said 'make it count meet me outside'. Rose excused herself before going out side to find Jack waiting there.

"Didn't think you would actually come." He said laughing "so you want to go to a real party?"
