Out for a bite

Vanessa lead Sascha into Spark's bistro where they were meeting Nessa's sister Jessica for lunch. It was a warm day so Sascha was wearing one of her pretty summer dresses and white sandals. Nessa was wearing a pair of black capri's with her favorite teal layered top with black tennis shoes. There was a small wait for a table but they didn't mind. Sascha talked about all the the things she drew today and how she drew Jessica a picture of a dragon. These days all her drawings were colored pink and purple with bows on their heads.

They finally were able to get a seat and quickly were able to get seated. They looked at the menu to see what they would like. They found an appitizer to split and grabbed drinks for themselves as they waited. Nessa listened to her daughter chat about what all she wanted to do that day. Each time Sascha wanted to do something it was to go to the park and play in the grass. Or walk around the park pointing out different things for fun but it had to be the same park every time.

Finally she decided to ask her daughter why the same park every time.

"Sascha, honey why do you always wanna go to the same park everyday?" Nessa asked looking at her daughter curiously taking a small sip of her water.

"Well, 'cause that's where the park I dream of. It's the one where you meet someone really nice." Sascha said innocently looking over at her mother.

Nessa nearly choked on the little water she drank, "You mean you saw that in a dream?" she asked as her daughter shook her head yes. She was taken back that her daughter saw something like that in a dream, then realized it was because she wanted a dad. She smiled at her daughter knowing that sometimes not even dreams come true but, she would never tell her daughter that.

Today she had to go and have lunch with her sister Vanessa and her daughter Sascha. She had promised to be there but now she realized she was running late already. She sighed and towards the Spark's Bistro so fast as she could. She was wearing today a jeans, t-shirt and jacket on them. It was bit too warm outfit for such warm day but she didn't mind, it was comfortable at least.

When she finally reached there she looked around the place to find two people who she actually did miss since they barely spend any time together. She soon spotted them and walked over their table.

"Hey, I'm sorry for being late," she said there with a small smile and did take a seat. She saw Sascha drawing once again something. This girl really liked to draw she even could tell even if she saw girl barely. "Little Sascha loves to draw right?" she asked and gave took a gift out of her bag. It was new sketchbook for girl. She wanted go get something of present for her sister's daughter and it seemed like the best present. She soon gave it to Sascha. "This is for you," she said with small smile again.

Nessa looked up at her sister's words and grinned, "Oh your fine." She said waving it off as Sascha grinned at Jessica. "Yes she loves drawing, I'll have to get her another sketch pad soon. She goes through them so quickly. Oh and she drew you this." She reached into her satchel and pulled out a framed picture of a pink and purple dragon in a tutu. "She said that she drew this for you and that it needed to be in a picture frame." Nessa said with a grin holding it out to her sister to take. The frame was made of a deep cherry wood color.

When she saw that Jessica got her a new sketchbook she smiled while Sascha squealed in delight. Sliding out of her chair she ran over to Jessica's side and hugged her tight.

"Thank you Auntie Jess! I love it!" Sascha said as she hugged Jessica again before stowing it in Nessa's bag for safe keeping. "I'm gonna make you a picture when we get home." She had a big old grin on her face at the thought of drawing.

Jessica smiled. She wasn't really never there but she have heard things from there and there. She took that framed picture from her sister and then looked at it. "Oh it's pretty Sascha, thank you for the gift," she said with a smile and did put it into her bag now.

When Sascha suddenly hugged her then came surprise for her. She didn't really expect it. She really isn't the person who hugs people but she doesn't mind if people hug her.

"You're welcome sweetie," she said back to her with a smile and actually hugged the girl back too. "Sure you can draw me so many pictures as you want," she said to her and wondered what kind of picture it would be this time.

Nessa smiled when Jessica had said it was pretty and thanked her daughter for the gift. "She's been talking non-stop about you coming for lunch today. How are you doing?" She asked with a smile wanting to catch up with her sister. She wanted to know if there was anything new with her. "I feel like we have seen each other in ages."

Sascha went back to her seat after giving Jessica a hug and started munching down on her food humming. Nessa laughed softly as she turned back towards her sister and took a sip of her water. She took bites out of her own meal trying to keep it light since today she was going into work with her daughter. She was nervous but at the same time excited to finally find a job that she can work without having to worry too much about her daughter.

Jessica smiled once again and she didn't lie it was pretty for her age of drawing. Noone isn't prefect from start and she knows it well. "No need thank me. I just said what I think. Oh and I'm doing good. Nothing much haven't happen. I'm still single. Just now I need to start to study for my OWL's soon," she said there now. She really haven't seen her ages too. "I totally have to agree with it. I feel same way," Jess said honestly.

Jessica smiled and Sascha went she went back to her seat after hug and began to eat her food. Also Jess called waitreaa over to tell want she wanted for lunch. She just couldn't watch her sister and sister's daughter eating there. "Anyways how you doing?" She asked now when waitress was gone.

"I'm glad your doing good. Well the boys at Hogwarts obviously are blind if they don't see how pretty you are." Nessa said smiling softly at her sister. "Yeah I remember the OWL's, I hated them because it seemed like it took forever to finish the test. I never really liked taking the exams but I did well on them. I know you'll ace those tests, your a really smart girl when it comes to things like that." She said with a smile.

"I'm doing good," She looked over at Sascha who wasn't paying attention to them. She lowers her voice to where only Jessica can hear her. "She keeps asking if she has a daddy. I don't know what to say to her about him not being around and not knowing about her." She sighed and ran a hand down her face in exhaustion. "Other than that I bought Babbity Rabbity and everything there is running smoothly."

Jessica listened what her sister said now there. "There have been few boys hitting on me but I didn't like them like that. So yeah I don't really wanna began to date with someone who I have no feelings at all. Oh and I hope so myself too that I'll ace them but I still need to study for them. Now I have even less time for boys," she said there now with a small smile. Dating wasn't right now so important like was studying.

"Well no idea what you should do either with it. Maybe you vould find out where he lives and tell it now," he said with lowered voice to her sister so she could hear it only. "Oh that's good. I'll visit that shop oneday then," she told thereto her sister with small smile.

"So no boy has caught your notice?" She asked with a small smile. "I can understand not wanting to date someone you don't have feelings for. Well no matter what you'll do great on the OWL's I have no doubt about that. Your smart and I'm sure if that one boy comes along you'll be able to clear some time for him." She grinned at her sister trying not to giggle.

"I can't he never told me his real name, gave me a fake one. If he left us once there's a chance he'd do it again. I don't want to disappoint Sascha if her father comes back in the picture then leaves her again. It would break her heart if that happened. Besides it's not like I'm gonna find any guy that wants to take on a woman who already has a kid." She whispered to her making sure Sascha was still busy with her food. "That would be lovely, when you wanna come visit give me a call and I'll take that day off. That way we can make a day of it and we can just hang out."

"At the moment not really. Also haven't really looked for a boyfriend too. Most boys just want one thing from girls in this age," she said there and sighed on that. She really didn't wanna say it out loud in front of Sascha so she hoped that her sister did get what she meant. "I thought so. I probably ace it. I'm smart one for sure. Let's hope so I will have time for boys when they come around. I hope it's just one not many same time. I would be cheating," she said there now with a small smile on her face.

She nodded her face on what her sister said now to her quietly. This was awful for sure. Jess had no idea what Vanessa should do with this matter. "Oh I see. You never really told what happened with him even me before, I think," she whispered back to Vanessa. "I'm sure you will find someone who might accept u with kid. She is lovely girl," she whispered one more thing. "Probably these will be weekends, since on schooldays it would be hard to meet you both, since then It's hard to get out of school after classes."
