HAZE (On Hold)

Part 48

"Haze, help... box slipping!" Hailee runs over and grabs the box from Jade before it hits the ground. 

"Seriously Jade, why didn't you just let the movers do what they were being paid for?" 

Jade puts the box down and looks at her, "Because then I wouldn't have been able to see Storm flex her muscles and get a sweat on before she leaves." 

Hailee laughs and shakes her head, "I don't want to hear you or your goodbyes."

Jade laughs, "We'll do our best to keep things relatively quiet, but didn't you say the place was soundproofed anyways?"

"Yeah, everything about it is top tier, my Dad wouldn't allow me to live anywhere that wasn't." 

"And I'm thankful for that and you because this place is amazing! So when are we having a housewarming party?" 

They hear what sounds like glass breaking in the other room, "Stormy, you okay?" 

"Yeah, but I think you might need to replace the bathroom mirror. Actually, you definitely need to replace the mirror." 

Hailee and Jade head inside the first bathroom to take a look at the damage and find the mirror shattered and Storm holding a bleeding hand over the sink. 

"Jade, take her into my bathroom and get her cleaned up, there's a first aid kit under the sink; I'll look after this mess."

Jade leads Storm down the hall to Hailee's room and bathroom while Hailee figures out how to clean up the mess. She finally grabs an empty moving box and starts placing the loose pieces in it and then collects the broom and dustpan to clean off the floor. 

Hailee calls Charles and explains to him what happened and he promises to have it looked after within the day. 

She heads into her bathroom to check on Jade and Storm and finds them both crying. 

"You guys, okay?" They both nod, "Just having a hard time dealing with the idea of being separated for the foreseeable future."

"I get it, I'll leave you alone to talk; you guys okay with pizza for supper? Tierna told me which place makes the best pie in her opinion." 

"Pizza is fine for tonight, we'll get groceries tomorrow." 

"Umm, Jade, the cupboards are already full; I'm just not the best at cooking." 

Jade laughs, "I guess the least I can do for you allowing me to live here with you is to teach you how to cook." 

"My Dad offered to hire a personal chef for us, but I thought that would be too much." 

"Seriously, you turned down a personal chef? What the hell were you thinking?" 

"So, you want me to call him and ask for one?" 

"Uh yeah, unless you want to live on chicken and pasta for the term!" 

Hailee shakes her head, "I'll make the call." 

Hailee heads off to call her Dad. 

"This place is da bomb, Jadey! You're so lucky you get to live here versus the crappy dorm room that I'm going to be living in." 

"I'm sure it won't be that bad, Stormy."

They kiss and hold each other until Hailee comes back in the room, "Really, I leave the two of you for a couple of minutes and you're busy getting busy in my bathroom!"

They both laugh and Jade stands up reaching for Storm's hand, "Come on Babe, I still have a few more boxes to bring up." 

Later that evening the three sit around the flatscreen in the living room and play video games until deciding it's time to call it a night.
