Nicki's Quince (3)

Nicki smiled saying, "I am ready, we were going to get a round of rehearsal done once more but you know Will is a big baby-" She was interrupted as Will who was in the corner of the room came up to hug her saying, "Your big baby." Nicki sighed, shaking him off as Will said, "Sorry about the late intro name's William Leto Bernardi, Nicki's boyfriend."

John nodded saying, "Johnny Heon, Jian's date." Will frowned a little and said, "Johnny, I feel like I have seen you somewhere before, do you feel the same way?" John smiled asking, "I can sense a familiarity, maybe an auction?" William shook his head saying, "No I haven't been to one in ages, how about the private art exhibition, it was at," he paused thinking and John added, "The Tribeca rooftop?"

William nodded asking, "The girl in the red dress?" "The white actually-" John stopped mid-sentence chuckling as Jian and Nicki looked at him, he explained after a few seconds, "I met William at the Tribeca rooftop during an art exhibition and he was with someone in a white dress. I didn't get the hint at first and thought he was trying to hit on me, but later I found out from Elijah that he was trying to help the girl get my number."

Jian nodded as Nicki made a comment, "Who was this girl anyway Will and why didn't you tell me about an exhibition?" She was being a bit pouty as Will hugged her again saying, "My cousin from Florida, and it was an invitation-only event so I couldn't take you, love."

Jian smiled at their way of reconciliation as Nicki fed Will another dumpling. She was about to excuse herself and John so that they could eat when someone walked inside with a full burst of energy.

"Nicki my love, mama here will all your favorites, you guys help yourselves please!" Jian smiled at Nicki's mother who grinned, noticing that she was already eating. She looked around and saw Jian with John standing behind her and she smiled, "Jian dear, did you bring the lunch for Nicki, oh of course it's you, my precious baby."

Jian was forced into a hug as Mrs. González expressed her affection. She pulled back saying, "This must be your date, pleasure to meet you. I am Nicki's mother, Ashley Gomez González, you can call me Mrs. González." John smiled moving to the side saying, "Pleasure to meet you, ma'am, I am Jian's date, Johnny Heon."

She tilted her head a little and after a few seconds her eyebrows raised up and she asked, "Mireu Heon is your father, correct?" Johnny nodded and she smiled, "Please thank him for his help, and do enjoy the quince." She then turned to Nicki and said, "Anyways Nicki, there is about another hour left till the guests start entering and your court is in the dance room so whenever you are ready, get another round of rehearsals while we get the hotel cleared."

Nicki nodded before her mother walked outside, "Jian babes thanks so much for coming, I am going to check up on the others for now and then come back to you so enjoy yourself here." Nicki and a few others left as Jian sat down on the sofa.
