Jasper thought she had escaped having to help in the kitchen, but some how Pearl had easily gotten her to come back in and watch. She picked up a few things here and there. She was surprised how quickly Mala had taken to everything, but Jasper was sure that Pearl could get her kid interested in almost anything now. As each meal was worked on and made Jasper took a few moments here and there to help Mala if she seemed to be struggling with a task, already noting they would need to get a step stool to make it a little easier for her child to reach.<br/><br/>When the two finished cooking and finally put the last dish into the sink Jasper just rolled her eyes “Don’t worry Pearl, you don’t have to convince my kid to work against me to get me to do the dishes. I earn my keep one way or another” she teased before moving to the side, pulling open a dish wash that looked like it had cabinet doors on it. Making it blend into the cupboards around it. Soon loading it up with the dirty items and turning it on.<br/><br/>While Jasper worked on cleaning the kitchen Mala took the chance to lead Pearl away into the training room. “Can you please show me some dance moves? Ppppllleeeaaassseee” Jasper already knew Pearl would be stuck at her apartment for the night, to the point Jasper had made up the guest room and was prepared to offer it to Pearl if it go to late for the woman to head home., Mala would do everything in her power to keep Pearl at their home. It didn’t bother her, she enjoyed having her house fill with love. It made her jealous that Mala could get the woman’s attention so easily, Pearl seemed to love her kid without Mala even trying.<br/><br/>The fell into the routine with ease, time flew by and soon a month had passed. On Saturdays they would have Mala’s late personal class at the gym, Jasper used this time to slip extra cash into Pearls gym bag. The woman refused to take the money so Jasper forced it on her. She had seen the second grocery bill and had a mild heart attack that Pearl was footing the bill without a complaint, it also gave Jasper a chance to slip Pearls little friend into the bag with a note.<br/><br/><i>'You don’t bring up the money and I don’t ask about the toy ;)’</i><br/><br/>Jasper had noticed Pearl was looking tired, she had found out the woman taught thw two classes plus some other private lessons while spending a bunch of her free time with Mala, she didn’t know how the woman could do it and it made her worry. But she didn’t feel right confronting the woman about it either, she understood that people did things a certain way because they liked it that way or just had the energy to do it
