Dropping the Dresses (5)

"Yes, I can watch me," Kira said sitting down and he turned to John asking, "Why would you let he-" Nicki sighed interrupting him saying, "William, it's not his fault, they are old enough to know their limits." Ethan glanced at Nick asking, "What are those flavors anyway?"

Nick didn't reply and Ethan smiled taking a spoon to dig into a layer before frowning. He took a few seconds before asking, "Is that mint, why?" He was disgusted and disappointed at the same time.

Jian giggled at the scene as she sat down saying, "It's a nice day today." Nicki smiled saying, "Yes, it's warm but not hot." Will glanced at her asking, "Is there something you want to do?" She smiled saying, "I want to go on a trip somewhere green and fresh with a view of the sea. I wasn't planning on traveling but I might do it now."

Nick smiled finished up the ice cream before saying, "You can't, you start working with dad this summer." Nicki sighed and Jian smiled suggesting, "Why not ask your dad to see if you can do something that requires travel."

Nicki glanced at her with a big smile saying, "That's a great idea, and I wouldn't be doing just work, thanks Jian." Jian smiled in turn, and they all soon finished their break and got back on the road.

"Jian, I know you said you didn't have much planned for the summer but is there anywhere you want to go," John asked as he drove. Jian took a few seconds to think before saying, "Well, recently no, but in the past, I always wanted to go out the country. I know it's basic and I don't know where, but most of my old friends always talked about their travels and I felt a little jealous at times. However, I kind of lost interest now, plus I knew mother was in a tight spot."

He blinked asking, "Is there a specific country you want to visit?" Jian smiled saying, "Nope, if I have the right people with me any place can feel like a vacation, plus I would rather travel with comfort of knowing I can be free than to travel worried about going back home."

He smiles asking, "Have you talked to your mom about how to finish school?" Jian shook her head saying, "No, mom's been a bit busy, she's been coming home late these past few days."

John nodded saying, "Don't worry I am sure she'll make time if you ask her, and plus you have time till school starts again." Jian nodded as she sighed. They arrived at the warehouse after another half an hour of driving.

...

"Hello, Jian, right?" She heard a familiar figure say and she nodded asking, "Yes, Miss Ophelia's assistant, right?" She nodded saying, "Please call me Jacky, here are the keys to your room, your dresses go in room 2013, it's on the second floor, I am sure you don't need any help, correct?"

Jian smiled saying, "No, we'll manage, thank you?" John smiled at her saying, "We'll bring the dresses up, why don't you three go look at the room and get it set up." She nodded as the three headed towards the building. The inside was different from the outside, it was colored with a light shade of green and held a sweet critics scent.

Kira smiled walking over to the small couch sitting down and Jian looked around. She found the room well-proportioned as there was space near the walls for the dress from and she only needed to shift the sofa slightly to create a little more space for the green dress. She got to work with Nicki's help and as they finished the boys walked inside carrying the dress forms as gently as possible.

"Where's Nick?" Kira asked and Will smile saying, "He's waiting for these two to get back, there are two more dresses left." She nodded as he sat down as the two left, and Nicki smiled as he held her hands while she scrolled on her phone with the other.
