The next day I wake up softy yawning as I realized that Lizzie wasn't next to me in the bed. I got up stretching my arms and back out walking downstairs to the living room. I walk to the kitchen only to see Lizzie in an apron cooking breakfast moving between a skillet, mixing pancake batter and stirring eggs. I smirk creeping up behind her wrapping my arms around her waist pulling myself closer to her. For a moment she jumped because of how quiet I was coming in also at the fact she didn't want to make a mistake with the dish.
" Mmm~Good morning sleepy head. Hungry?," she says looking back at me smiling.
" Good morning and yes I am. I see that your people aren't here."
" Yeah they had to run down to the post office to mail our family invitations to our get together we're having next week. It's a tradition we do." She explains still moving between stations.
" Oh ok that's nice of you guys. Let me help you" I say taking the bowl of eggs she was stirring.
As she finished up with most of everything I handed her the bowl of eggs.
"Well I should be getting home my dad it's going to throw a fit."
" Oh no no. Your going to eat breakfast with me, then we are going to have a moment for ourselves and then I'll think about letting you go" Lizzie say as I smirked nodding.
" Alright Alright fine, but that means you have to come to the Vita City Science show tonight"
" Alright fine. Anything for my dumbling" she says pecking me on the lips as I giggled helping her finish with the rest of the food that was left to make.
Once we were done Lizzie made two plates handing one as we went to the table to eat. I sat my plate down pulling both my chair and lizzie's taking a seat and grabbing a napkin placing it on my lap.
" Well aren't you a lady" she says smirking.
" Well my parents raised me to be polite"
We began to eat talking about all the things we liked and didn't like, our pros and cons. I couldn't quite explain it, but Lizzie was everything I ever wanted in a soulmate. She was pretty, she was kind, she was caring, and she was so open minded to things. I wanted to one day marry her and fulfill in being able to call her mines and her being able to call me her's. After we got done eating Lizzie tried to take my plate so she could start washing dishes, but I had insisted I would do it for her. Taking her plate out of her hand, telling her to sit down and relax it only took me five minutes to get through it.
" Ok so what type of us time did you have in mind?"
" Oh I don't know. Why don't you follow me and find out" she says winking as I nodded my head doing as she said.
Once we got upstairs back to her room she pushed me on the bed telling me not to move before going off into the bathroom and coming back in a robe. My eyes grew a little wider as I realized what she had really meant by "us time".
" Oh *purrr* sexy" I teased as she crawled over on top of me rubbing her nose against mine.
I wrapped my arms around lizzie waist as I giggled asking if I could see what was under the robe she nodded yes to me. Slowly running my hand up her leg I started to untie her robe removing it as I giggled kissing her.
~Hour later~
I walked downstairs from lizzie room as she came down along with me back in her robe as she opened the door for me.
" I'll text you"
" Alright Jazz be safe" she said hugging me as I hugged her back.
Saying my last goodbye with a kiss I walked down the steps to Lizzie's place walking toward the subway making my way home. Once I got back to the house, I took out my key opening the door walking inside where I saw my dad passed out on the couch and the living room was a mess. I sighed softly walking over dropping my purse picking up the papers and wrappers off the floor. I threw away the bottles and walked over to the window turning one of the living room chairs back up right turning to my dad.
"Dad!"
" H-huh?!" he says waking up slowly.
"What happened to the living room?"
" Oh baby. I don't know the last thing I remember is going to a bar after work and then I got home everything went black after that"
"Dad you gotta do better than this. It's been ten years since mom died...you have to let it go dad...you have to move on"
" I miss her...I really miss her" he says tearing up.
" I know dad. I m-miss her too" I say tearing up as well going over to lay my head on his shoulder.
" I'm sorry Jasmine sweetie. You shouldn't have to see me like this" he says to Jasmine as she shook her head.
" It's okay dad. I know"
~Time Skip two hours later~
As I got ready to go pick up Lizzie so we could go to the Science Show case i was packing things in my first that I needed to take with me. While grabbing stuff off my bed and dresser I noticed that I still had the communicator the guy from the other day gave me The Red Crusader I think he said his name was. I hesitated to pick it up and bring it with me, but thinking back at how random the robbery before was I decided to stuff it at the bottom of purse walking to the living room.
" Alright dad I'll be back before dawn"
" Alright sweetie be careful out there and remember no walking alone." he says.
" Alright dad and don't worry Lizzie is going with me"
Leaving out the front door I make my way to Lizzie place to pick her up. When I got to her house I knocked on her door waiting patiently as her mother opened it.
" Hi Ms. Rose I'm here to pick up Lizzie"
" Come in sweetie. She'll be right down" She responds as I walk in sitting on the couch.
After a few moments of talking with Lizzie's mom she came downstairs with a purple dress with purple heels. I turn to see her in her outfit as my face began to flush red.
"Wow Liz. You look amazing"
" You don't look half bad yourself" she responds.
I look at her smiling as I reached out for her to take my hand as she does and we say bye to her mother walking out of the house,
" How are we going to get there?" Lizzie ask.
" I got that covered." I respond as a nice car with butterfly doors drove up.
" Where did you!?" She said shocked.
" I'll explain later just let's enjoy the night okay?"
" Alright baby" she responds smiling as I walk her down the steps to the car.
Once we got to the science showcase me and Lizzie was helped out of the car by our driver as we both together walked up the steps to the building. When we got inside there no one, but the smartest people in the city, the most artistic and few locals around talking and looking at statues.
"Oh my god! Baby there are a lot of famous people here." She says.
" I know right. This is such a big opportunity for me. I can connect with so many different people and even meet people that could later on be great connections for me"
" I agree, so where do we start" she says grabbing my hand as I smirk and point over to a group of people talking around a giant glass case that had a giant structure photon ice gun inside.
At that moment we heard the sound of an intercom go off as the host of the joint took a breath moment to welcome everyone that attended and showed up who was invited.
" Good evening everyone! I am Sir Daniel and I thank you all for coming out taking the time out of your night to stop by and enjoy this fantastic science show case! Please help yourself to the snacks and service at the food table and later on if you stick around long enough we will be announcing which lucky scientist is going to win and take home our special prize! Now let the science showcase began!" Daniel says as everyone applauded.
" Baby who is that?" Lizzie asked as I looked at her.
" That is one of the most talented and smartest scientists alive... Daniel Merchy"
