Chapter 10; unfathomable ecstasy
Jay POV
I take in a deep breath and place my hand out to knock on the door. I release the CO2 and decide to knock. The door opens and behind the door was Nya… she looked so lovely! I could tell I was staring when all the girls (who happened to be in the room at the moment) were staring at me as well.
"You did a good job Cece, he is speechless!" says Anne which knocks me out of it.
"You look… beautiful, Nya" I say and she blushed
"Thanks, you look nice too." She says. Cece practically begins to push Nya out the door
"Enjoy your date Nya!" she says
I step back as the door shuts behind Nya. I gesture for us to leave the bounty and she follows. I wish this date does not end up like last time…
Nya POV
I hope this date will end with no problems like last time. I think as Jay and I walk out onto the deck. I look up to see the blue sky and I inhale the sweet summer air. I gently smile as I look over to Jay.
"So… where too?" I say.
"Dinner first of course." He says and we walk off the deck to Ninjago city. We walk around town for a while before we go to the restaurant. We turn the corner and I look to where we will be eating.
"Green Olive" I say. This place is a very excellent and classy Italian restaurant!
"Of course it is!" he says. I can taste it now… Green Olive is famous for its pasta and pizza. We walked into the restaurant. Jay made a reservation so we got to our table incredibly fast. I sit across from him and the waiter hands us our menus. I look up and down the menu. I do not know what to eat.
"Perhaps we should get one of their hand tossed pizzas?" I look up from my menu.
"That seems like a good idea. What should we get?" I think
"How about… pepperoni" He says
"Yum" I say and the waiter comes by our table.
"Hello, today I will be your server, drinks?" he says
"I will get iced tea" I say and look over to Jay.
"Ummm… me too" He says
"Do you need any more time to order?" The waiter says.
"No, we will like a medium Pepperoni pizza, please" Jay says and the Waiter nods and then he leaves. The restaurant seems like it is busy. I look over to see the many people sitting in tables. Eating or talking. I look over to Jay who looks over to me.
"So, how have you been recently?"
"I have been great; it feels good to have other girls on the bounty besides Misako and me! We have a bit of a mob now…" I say
"Oh, yes. I still do not believe that you are apart of this 'Cosmic Legion'… do you really have wind powers?"
"Eh… It has been a work in progress… So far I got pretty much got nothing. I think Anne has been doing well though. I wonder how far our powers could go and how strong we will get…"
"Well look at me! With training I am sure you will do fine!"
"I am still not sure." I say and the waiter gives us our drinks. I grab a single packet of sugar because I don't like it too sweet and mix it into my iced tea. I gently sip as I hear Jay reply.
"Do not worry no matter what you will do great! You can do anything!" he says while putting in multiple packets of sugar.
"Thanks Jay."
"Your welcome, but I hope the food will not be long. The restaurant seems busy though."
"Oh I hope so too, I can taste the pizza now…" I say
"I have heard great reviews for this restaurant." He says.
"I heard they are well known for there pizza, makes me think back when my mom would cook such amazing pizza when I was little…" I say as the thought brings me back to when I was younger.
"Oh, um…" he says
"It is ok, Jay" I say as I look down into my iced tea. "Ever sense… their passing I guess me and Kai had been on our own for a while…" I look up to gaze upon Jay's hazel eyes, they are quite beautiful if I do say so myself. Like brown orbs surrounded by a ring of lighting blue "but I am ok now, the time we shared is priceless, and I will never forget those memories…"
"That makes me feel… lucky, to have such great parents to be there for me. At least you had Kai with you, so you were not alone…"
"Yeah, but Kai has been quite overprotective lately…" I say with a slight roll of the eyes.
"Tell me about it…" he says. I am glad we are at a more… cheerful pace. I look over to my left and the waiter has brought our food.
"Dinner is served!" he says. I look down at the massive pepperoni pizza down on the table. Even the smell is like a spicy slap to the face. I feel like almost drooling. I look over across the table to Jay and we begin eating. The pizza was already cut so I grab a piece. I take a bite and the savory pepperoni and the sweet sauce strikes at my taste buds. I chew down on the thin crust. This is so delicious… From the spicy pepperoni to the gooey, handmade mozzarella, this is extravagant. I gaze over to Jay who also seemed to be humbly enjoying his pizza and I smile. This date is going so well…
"This is so good…" he says.
"I know right…" I say and we continue eating. After we finish the waiter hands us our check and we leave the restaurant. We start heading to the movies.
Cece's Pov
I was lying on the couch talking with Anne and Cole when hothead decided to barge into the game room.
"Have any of you seen Jay or Nya?" he asks
"They are on their date, remember?" I say.
"What date?" he looks frustrated.
"You know… the date I got Nya that fantastic dress for… you know Anne, I heard that the restaurant they were going to was really… romantic… I wonder how things will… turn out, for the love birds…" I say just to irritate Kai, Nya told me how overly protective he was.
"WHAT?" He says.
"Chill, Nya is in good hands… when he breaks her heart that is when you should get angry…" I say then he sits "or are you… jealous?" I laugh.
"Cece, be nice!" Anne says.
"Ok…" I sigh; there is no arguing with Anne. Kai is lucky…
"Isn't it Cole's night to cook?" I ask my self, staring of into space.
"Jay and Nya are so lucky!" Kai says.
"Hey!" Cole says and we all turn our heads and look at him cynically.
"At least have someone help you!" Kai says then he mumbles "so at least we will not be sick to our stomachs…" I giggle a bit after he said that.
"If it will get you two to shut up!" he is obviously not referring to Anne.
"How about…" I think and remember how great a cook Anne is… heh, heh… "Anne helps you." I practically shove her into Cole who was leaving to make dinner. She then stares at me and I smile ruthlessly. They both then leave. I am now alone with Kai… hm…
Anne POV
How dare she do that! How did she know… she must be psychic…? Cole and I both walk into the kitchen.
"So… um… what were you planning to make?" I ask unsure what to say.
"Duck chowder!" He says… oh my!
"How about something simpler" I say and stare at him strait into those emerald eyes.
"Well… I was going to…" he says
"How about we cook spaghetti?" I suggest because I know how to cook that! How could Cole possibly mess this up? *imagines scene showing the ruins of a burning bounty…*
"Sure" he says and I smile.
Later
"Cole! What are you doing? You're burning the noodles! I say
"I thought the sauce needed more spice!" he says. I run over to the stove to turn down the heat and grab the ground ginger and cream of tartar out of Cole's hands.
"Trust me Cole," I stare deeply into his eyes. "Less is more." I must be very persuasive because he agrees. The rest of dinner was smooth sailing at that point.
"Wow Anne, you are a great cook" he says and I blush
"Well, thank you Cole but really… I am not that good… spaghetti is the most I know… besides a few other things…." I say.
"Do not kid yourself, Anne. You are fantastic at cooking." He says which makes me smile.
"Thanks, you're not as bad as they say… just misguided"
"Thanks…?"
"We should get this food out to everybody" I say firmly "We do not want to keep them waiting." We both leave with the spaghetti. I set the bowl on the dinning table and I look at everyone minus Jay and Nya.
"Wow, this actually is not half bad…" Kai says.
"Thanks" both Cole and I say at the same time.
Jays POV
Nya and I just walked out of the movie, it was fairly good. We exit the movie theater and onto the street.
"Should we head back to the bounty?" She asks. I look up to the sky to see the sun was setting. I just realized something. I bet no one told Kai about this date…
"Maybe we should take a walk. It is beautiful outside." I say.
"Sure" she smiles brightly and her amber eyes glimmer like the light at the end of the day. We walk through a park by the water. We walk by the shore and she suddenly grabs my hand. I feel her smaller one fit into mine. I sigh happily, Nya is so amazing.
"I must be the luckiest man in the world…" I mumble to myself. I look over to Nya who was blushing and I smile. I gaze profoundly in her eyes and she looks into mine. We stand there overwhelmed and unable to be moved. I gently lay my forehead against hers while my vision dances into her Amber eyes. I place my hand on her cheek as we indulge ourselves with ecstasy through a passionate kiss. As the kiss comes to an end I still hold her in my arms. I hold her in till we decide to continue walking through the park. We watch as the sun departs and slowly head back to the bounty.
Did no one want to review chapter 9…? *sits in the corner while wallowing in despair* WHAT HAPPENED GUYS? IS MY STORY NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR ONE PERSON TO REVIEW?... I guess it is understandable because it was filler-ish… but still this week I had no internet access so I was looking forward to reading some reviews! So I was pretty disappointed… Sometimes when I read a story I sometimes have trouble thinking of something to say. But SOMEONE could have at least just said GOOD JOB! AND EVENTHOUGH I WILL UPDATE EVERY WEEK AND YALL DON'T HAVE TO BEG FOR ME TO UPDATE DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN BE CARELESS! I WAS EVEN GOING TO WRITE AN ONESHOT YESTERDAY BUT I WAS TOO DEPRESSED! Sorry if that was a little harsh, I was even tempted to not update and to not post chapter ten TODAY while instead I post an authors note saying SOMEONE has to review chapter nine before I post chapter 10, yet if you just didn't read chapter nine this week I am sorry for this long A/N. But maybe if no one reviews a FUTURE chapter again I could STILL not post though…
