Party Time (Jade, Tag Jere, Open)

[Jade Edwards RCO]

[Character Played: Jade Edwards]

Jade stood in front of the mirror in his room smoothing down his jeans, he eyed the clock to know what time it was, he knew it was getting to the point that he would need to leave the house, but also knew that Jere was meant to be arriving soon, he had organised transport to and from the party/rave for them, as he didn't want to drive or for that matter have anyone else drive, "Jade son your looking fine." his mom said as she came into the room. "Limo is out the front waiting." she said as he kissed her cheek.

"Thanks mom." Jade said to her she chuckled.

"Your welcome, now do be careful, I do not want two badly hung over sons in the morning." she said to him Jade smiled at her as he pulled out a pair of suede shoes from his shoe rack. "You may want to choose something a little less expensive." she said to him.

"Why?" Jade asked.

"You really don't want to ruin your shoes, I know you will just go out and buy a new pair, but why get them damaged in the first place." she said with a smile Jade nodded placing them back in the rack and taking a pair of tan leather shoes out of the rack and walking back to the bed.

"Mom regardless of what you and dad think I can manage." Jade said to her she chuckled.

"We know that, we also know your not the partier, your brother is." she said. "Who is this Sarah?" she asked.

"His girlfriend, nice girl." Jade said to her she nodded. "Alex is besotted by her I think, they are pretty disgustingly sweet when together." Jade said she laughed at this. "But I guess he might say that of Jere and I when we are together, it might be a twin thing." Jade said.

Ten minutes later he was in the limo sitting back as it drove through the town heading for Jere's place, this was meant to be a surprise.

[Jere Warner]

SCRREEEECCHHH!! SCRREECCCHH!!! Went the bow over the strings of a new violinist who had just started taking lessons from Mrs. Wanrer who was doing her best to not rip the instrument from the new students hand.

"That's fine dear, lets take a little break. Theres some fresh fruit in the bowl in the kitchen please help yourself." The young student treated the violin like gold and carefully sat it down and skipped to the kitchen.

Jeremy smiled politely as they went by then got this horrific 'Phantom of the Opera' look on his face when he saw his mother. She gave a tsk and shook her head. "For heaven's sake Jere, he's a beginner you don't need to make that face!" She smiled though.

"I thought someone was strangling cats or something." He laughed coming down stairs in a maroon shirt and black jeans and his black canvas slip on deck shoes.

Janice took a look at him and sighed. "I just can't believe my baby is growing up and looking more like your father every day." She hugged him, Jeremy grimaced slightly but didn't mind being hugged. The student came skipping back with a banana in his hand and went to the window.

"Hey Mrs. Wahner theres a big car in front of your house!"

Janice went over and peered out. "Jere you know anything about this?" she quizzed him.

"Ummm not really unless," his jaw dropped. "Its Jade picking me up." He felt a bit embarrassed by the limo.

"I see," She said in that "I'm not to pleased" tone. "Well be safe and remember what we told you earlier." She kissed him on the forehead.

"Right mom, I won't forget and my phone is fully charged, just in case."

He went out to the limo where the driver opened the door for him. "Thanks." he told him, not used to that. He beamed though when he saw Jade there.

"Hey sexy man." He said as he slid into the seat next to him.

Jade smiled at Jeremy as the door opened and he got in, "I figured that if we wanted to drink or not, it might be a good idea not to bring a car." Jade said to him. "Not one that was driven by us, I rented this out for the next twelve hours minus a half hour." Jade said to him with a grin. "He'll bring you back to your house befor taking me home." Jade said to him before kissing him on the lips. "Driver when your ready." Jade called up to the front.

"Is everything okay?" Jade asked him with a smile. "Its not going to cause a problem that I turned up with a limo to take you to a party?" Jade asked him politely.

Jade stared at him for a moment, not sure whether it would cause a problem for Jeremy, something he did often enough for parties, maybe an issue for people who weren't used to it or something.

"Anyway help yourself to what ever you want, I paid the thing for the night so we might as well make use of it, tonight you don't worry about a thing, seriously you don't tonight is just about having fun." Jade said to him taking his hand.

[Jere Warner]

"Smart and cute, how did I get to be so lucky?" Jeremy jokingly questioned. He looked around the limo, this was new for him. Yes the family could afford one but there were other things that money could be spent on especially with two kids in high school who had college around the corner. He was rather disappointed hearing about the end of the night but he didn't want to be like Mike and come on so strong it scared Jade away. He did enjoy the kiss yet again.

"A problem? Oh nonono, it was just rather unexpected is all. It was good thinking thats all." He knew his mom would want to know about the limo in the morning if not sooner. "You outdid yourself is all."

He sat there for a moment and looked at Jade. He was feeling guilty about everything Jade was doing for him. Buying things on a shopping spree, the limo to take them to a party, Jere felt like there was something he should be doing for Jade, for change of pace.

"I've got everything I need right here with me." He smiled as Jade took his hand. He leaned in close and kissed Jade, this time letting his feelings show through.

[Jade Edwards RCO]

Jade smiled, "Well that I can do, their is plenty of me to go around right now." Jade said to him. "Just relax, I'm used to doing everything, my parents are billionaire's Jeremy, and I have been taught to be the perfect gentleman." Jade said explaining his behaviour. "I'm no where near as bad as Alex, but you should get used to how my family does things, and learn to say no." Jade said to him. "I have no concept of what is to much money, I never have and I never will." Jade said to him honestly as he leant forward opening the small fridge in the back and getting a couple of beers out he offered one to Jeremy then opened his own.

"I'm mad for saying it and its way to early, but I'm falling for you hard in a way thats never happened to me before, I've had two boyfriends before you, one was incredibly hot, but his like a brother to me, and his family is my extended family by choice. And their was Mike and you know that story as well as any one does, maybe with the exception of Alex." Jade said. "The truth is that when you look at me I don't see someone desperate to compensate for the fact that I don't hear you anywhere near as well as anyone else in class. You don't see a disabled guy, and my own parents and twin do." Jade said. "You allow me when we are together to be as close to normal as I can be." Jade said to him softly.

"Your going to meet another ex of mine, his nothing like Mike, his an Aussie and his a family friend, we had a short term relationship while my family holidayed their not to long ago. Well a couple of years anyway, he is very cool though, get him drunk and you have a very camp person on your hands, and when his drunk his funny." Jade said to him.

[Jere Warner]

"Ohhh I was gonna be greedy and keep you all to myself tonight." Jeremy teased as he ran a hand over Jade's chest. "You keep spoiling me and I'll lose my place as Prince Charming, granted I'm not arguing about it. I was always taught to save money like each check was the last one, came down from grandpa to my dad to me. I can't help being frugal at times, its just how it is with me."

He took the beer from Jade. He popped the top open and took a drink. He relished the words coming from Jade's lips, he was feeling the same way he was. "You took the words from my mouth, I'm finding myself falling hard for you and just as I was giving up on finding mister right." The first love of Jade's sounded like a good enough person and Mike, well, personal experience told him enough. "Call it good parenting, I've always been the type to go beyond the physical looks of someone, and see whats in their heart and you have the biggest heart of anyone I know."

"I can't wait to meet him, sounds like he can be a handful when drunk." This could be a very interesting night indeed!

[Jade Edwards RCO]

Jade laughed, "BJ would more than likely love you, Alex hasn't actually met you properly yet, but then I think his with Sarah tonight so I wouldn't worry about it to much." Jade said to him. "And no meeting at the front door is not a proper introduction, for the record that would be a dinner or at a party or bowling or shopping." Jade said to him as he took another gulp of beer wiped his mouth with his hand and made a face. "Not much of a beer drinker, not much of a drinker, though it gets better as the night goes on." Jade said with a smile as his non drinking hand slipped round the other boys' shoulders.

"Not that its not a bad idea to go further than we have, but I have parents who I have promised I will take anything new slowly, my dad did his nut when I got home about Mike, his been stewing about it since yesterday." Jade explained to him. "My mom just gives me the silent treatment, and the I'm most disappointed look, dad on the other hand likes to shout, he likes to make sure not only the person his angry at knows his angry, but everyone in a five mile radius knows about it to." Jade explained. "It was not pretty... though I had been expecting it... I was told that I was the heir to the family fortune and it was my duty to make sure that if it wasn't a girl I fell in love with, it was a respectable boy who wouldn't show the family up, or show me and the rest of us in the wrong light." Jade said to him shaking his head he was still a little upset by the slatting.

"My parents love me so don't get me wrong, and they have accepted that I will most likely never marry a woman or have children, but it was a hard day for them when they found out that I was who I am now, my dad is an old Irishman and regardless of how rich you are, its still a throwned upon thing in Ireland." Jade said to him. "It still feels like I am a disappointment to him for being gay sometimes anyway, usually when his angry he'll throw it in my face." Jade said to him before leaning sideways to rest his head on Jeremy's shoulder.

[Jere Warner]

"Well then BJ is good in my book already and if Alex is anything like you, we'll get on fine then." Jeremy replied taking a swig from his bottle. He scooted in closer to Jade feeling the arm around him. "As long as none of it spills on my then I'm fine." He moved his free hand up and gently stroked Jade's hair.

"Thats the best way to play. I wish I had thought of that when I had met Mike for the first time." Jere sighed. He did understand how Jade's folks felt, Mike was bad news and there was really no telling how his destructive path might have affected them all. He didn't expect Jade's father reaction. "They put that pressure on you? Why not divide everything up with your brother and sister? I mean are they scrutinized for anything?" To say this bothered him, was an understatement.

Jeremy held Jade close. "You are not a disappointment. You are charming, charasmatic, generous, and you take so much pride in yourself and that is more than any parent could ask for." He kissed Jade on top of the head. He smiled slightly. "You know, we should just do something weird like go to a playground and play on the swings or run around in a sprinkler in our good clothes!"

[Jade Edwards RCO]

Jade smiled at him, "All three of us will get equal split of the money when and if it comes to that, but my sister is your typical Californian blond, and my brother has no interest in business, I help my parents run the company when I have time for it, I've been learning the stuff for a couple of years. While I think most of it is boring, their are some elements of it I love." Jade said to him with a smile on his lips.

"My parents wouldn't dare to try and give one of their twins everything, because they know we've done pretty much everything together since we were born, its never been a competition for us. My sister gets all the attention of our parents, if they go on a holiday or business trip she goes with, she likes to lord it over us, but the truth is that we are used to not having our parents around full time, so if they were we'd hate it." Jade said to him. "Alex and I are independant of our parents, we have own back accounts, I suppose you could call it the trust fund, but its more like guarded access to the family accounts." Jade said to him. "We have our limits anyway." Jade said to him.

"Your probably right, you got an idea of where to go?" Jade asked him.

[Jere Warner]

"Ahh ok at least they kept their heads about that part of the money then, good." He moved his hand to rest it on Jade's chest. "Cute, smart and rich, I got a triple whammy here and I am eternally grateful for that." He grinned.

"I didn't think they would but I've heard of times like that even though its twins one gets favored over the other and then things get complicated." Jeremy shook his head. "I think I've been around my dad way too long, his ideas are rubbing off on me!" There was a hint of laughter in his voice but he was also serious about it. "Oh well girls will always do that, Julia likes to pull that on me sometimes but then I do something to make her feel guilty, like with the talent show I surprised her with a bunch of flowers, she hasn't tried anything yet to up that on me."

"Well, we could go to the beach and run barefoot in the sand as the tide comes in and out or if you really want something quiet, romantic and an amazing view of L.A., we could hear to Griffin Park and look over the lights of the city, there's endless possibilities, I'll do what ever your heart desires."

"I have to confess though, I'd love to wake up in the morning and see you next to me. We wouldn't have to umm "do" anything, I just I want to know I'm not dreaming this."
