Rehearsal (1)

Jian yawned as she looked at the time. She stretched before getting out of bed and putting her hair up. She smiled at John who was sleeping on the sofa before heading towards the kitchen to make some tea.

Jian followed with her normal routine afterwards checking her phone afterwards. She had gotten an update email about the casting from last week and the first one was a rejection. Jian sighed as she moved to the next email that told her about what to wear and what to bring to the rehearsal that day.

"Wear something comfortable and bring your heels, plus a pair of flat," said the note and Jian smiled opening up the closet. "I guess simple shorts and a pair of cropped tank top," she though pulling out a pair of white tank top, and black denim shorts.

Jian sighed looking at the mess that was her room before she picked up the little notebook which had all her important dates scheduled. She added a few new dates such as today's rehearsal and other castings she had, then she started creating deadlines for herself to keep up with the dresses.

She was finishing up when she hears, "Good morning, beautiful," John's voice a little horse as he walked next to her. "Morning handsome," she said in a similar manner as she closed the notebook.

He smiled asking, "Clothes and coffee?" She sighed, "Your clothes are here, and I'll get you a coffee ready, I have to arrive at the rehearsal by 9 so we should hurry, it's already 8." He nodded as she got up and he went for a hug.

Jian sighed she held him gently tapping his back, before pulling away walking out with her purse and cup of tea. She made coffee for John as her mother walked outside asking, "John's taking you to the rehearsal?"

Jian nodded passing her a cup of tea saying, "Yes, we should be leaving in a few minutes, how about you mom, do you have work?" Jessica shook her head saying, "No for this weekend I have taken time off to relax," she paused and smiled before asking, "Is there anything special you want for dinner?"

"I miss the crepe cakes you made with simple whipped cream," Jian said and Jessica nodded asking, "Anything else?" Jian sighed saying, "I really would like the soup dumplings you make, but I also want the shredded chicken tacos." Jessica nodded replying, "Alright, I should have the tacos done by around lunch time, will you two be back by then?"

Jian nodded as she noticed John walking out. "John you ready," Jian asked and he nodded as she walked towards the door him following behind her with his cup of coffee in hand. "Bye mom, see you soon," Jian said before they walked out and towards the elevator.

"How did you sleep?" Jian asked and John smiled saying, "Wonderfully, this coffee is nice." Jian smiled saying, "Its a brand my mother adores, but I don't know why since she doesn't ever like the smell of coffee." John laughed saying, "Maybe it's for you."

"Could be, but I also don't enjoy coffee much," Jian said as they exited the elevator, the two soon arrive at the rehearsal location, which was a half an hour drive, but they arrived a whole 20 minute early so John waited while Jian got her instructions.

"Johnny?" he heard from behind him, and he smiled turning to greet the person, "Good day, Miss Ophelia." She nods asking, "What brings you here?"

He smiled turning to Jian who was walking towards him saying, "Just a little date, do you mind if I stay during your rehearsals?" She smirked as an idea came to her, she said, "Alright, but you must not interfere with the practice."

He nods as Jian arrived asking, "Good morning, Miss Ophelia, I wanted to ask if John could stay until rehearsal was over?"
