Jessie's POV
DING!
The elevator doors opened and she walked into the lobby, over to Tony's desk.
"Wow Jessie! You look gorgeous!" Tony said.
"Thanks Tony." Jessie said.
They headed out the door and went to the park. They sat at park bench and opened their picnic basket.
"So what's for lunch Tony?" I asked, waiting to see what interesting dishes Tony had brought for out lunch date.
"Well," he said, taking stuff out of the basket. "We got peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, homemade macaroni and cheese and some chocolate chip cookies!"
"Wow! Sounds great!" I said, taking a sandwich on my paper plate. After my sandwich, I took a scoop of the yummy looking macaroni and cheese. Finally, as we were packing up the empty dishes and throwing out the napkins and plates, I had a cookie.
"Thanks Tony! That was delicious!" I said as we arrived back in the lobby.
"Thanks Jessie! I'll tell my Ma you think her cooking is good, 'cause she made all that." Tony said.
"Well, I better get going!" I said as I pressed the elevator button.
"OK! I'll catch ya later Jessie." Tony said, then gently kissed me on the cheek.
We waved and I got onto the elevator.
Author's POV
While Jessie and Tony were on their lunch date, lets see what Abygail, Bertram and the kids were up to meanwhile.
Abygail's POV
"NO! PUT THAT DOWN! DON'T WRECK THAT! HEY, STOP FIGHTING!" I yelled, running around the living room trying to calm down the Ross kids, but they were just too hyper! Ravi was running around with his father's Audience Choice award, Zuri was drawing on the portraits of the kids that were hanging on the wall and Luke and Emma were rolling around the floor wrestling because Luke took Emma's laptop without asking. Again. I ran into the kitchen were Bertram was, sitting at the table, listening to opera music like he didn't have a care in the world! "Bertram!" I yelled, pulling the head phones out of his ears. "Will you please calm the kids down!"
"Ugh. Do I have to do everything for you?" Bertram said lazily. He got up and walked into the living room. He put his fingers in his mouth and made one big, long, loud whistle. Immediately, the kids stopped fighting and drawing and looked at Bertram.
"Wow." I said, "That worked really well."
"You know what works even better?" he asked me, then he turned to the kids. "Who wants to go for ice cream?"
The kids jumped up and cheered. Ravi went up to get Mr. Kipling to take him for a walk and all the other kids hovered outside the elevator. Once we were about to press the elevator door opened and there stood Jessie.
"JESSIE!" the kids screamed, hugging her.
"Hi kids." she said, then pulling me aside asked, "Why were you all waiting for me?"
I explained what happened and told her we were going out for ice cream.
"Take a while off Jessie. I'll try to keep them at the park as long as I can.
"Thanks sis." Jessie said giving me a hug, then running upstairs.
Bertram, the kids and I got onto the elevator and headed down the lobby.
