The Big Night

On Friday morning I woke up extremely early with an excitement I could not quite place. I had been to a handful of shows by this point in my career, so why was I so jazzed for this one? Maybe because Louis Vuitton is such a huge brand, or maybe it's because the after party would be packed with a bunch of celebrities and my friends would be there too. I would be seeing Enya in an evening gown for the first time. Before my thoughts could go any further I shook my head and looked over at my clock. It was 8:30 am, so I hopped out of bed and got on with my morning routine. I was able to get through it much faster because I had convinced my doctor to take my cast off two days ago, and my injuries have pretty much healed.

I had a bunch of errands to run before the actual show, so I threw on sweats and a t-shirt before going into the kitchen to make breakfast. Orion was still asleep in her room, which gave me the idea to make breakfast and coffee for her as well. I quickly made toast with peanut butter, sliced bananas, honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon for both of us and put on a pot of coffee. By the time the coffee was finished brewing, Orion had brushed her teeth and came to the kitchen.

"That looks amazing. Thanks for making breakfast", she said grabbing a piece of toast and biting into it before leaning on the counter. I nodded a "your welcome" as I pulled two mugs from the cabinet and filled them with the hot coffee. "I'm super excited about the fashion show tonight. The after party is going to be so lit", I said excitedly while taking a bite of my own toast. We grabbed our mugs and moved to the living room couch. "I'm surprised they even sent me an invitation. I didn't know Louis Vuitton knew who I was", Orion responded. I rolled my eyes, "Of course they do. You've been doing big things with Gucci. I was only able to get two people added to the guest list. I was thinking of writing down Christian and Elisa. You can bring Enya and Drew as your guests". She nodded from behind her mug before setting it on the arm of the couch and saying, "sounds good to me. Thank goodness Finn was already invited. Pays to be a child actor I guess". We laughed a bit at that.

Directly after breakfast, I borrowed Orion's car and drove to Salem's house to pick her up. Sadly we weren't able to afford a driver for her this month which means Mr.Miller was expecting me to make sure she had a way to get around the city today. We picked up our outfits from the company's stylist, went to get mani-pedis, grabbed lunch, and before we knew it, it was time to head back home to get dressed for the show that started at 5:00pm.

Once I dropped Salem off, I zoomed back home and hopped in the shower. Orion wasn't in the house, so I could only assume she was getting ready somewhere else or still out doing her last minute things. After my shower, I put on the outfit I picked out with the stylist and pulled my puff into a slick back puff before adding gold hoops, a bag and heels(the outfit will be at the end of the chapter if you want to check it out).

By the time I was completely ready, I heard Orion coming out of her room and she looked amazing in her simple white dress with cut outs in all the right places. "You look great Orion!" "So do you! I'm loving the Versace look", she replied. I thanked her before we headed to the car to make our way to the event. Because the actual fashion show was organized by seats, we couldn't get our friends tickets, so only Finn met us at the door. The three of us entered and I felt almost nostalgic as I remembered that February night when I met them for the first time at fashion week. It was only the end of April, but it felt as though I'd been friends with these guys for years already.

We took our places in the second row and I whipped out my notebook, ready to write down every detail of the show. As the lights dimmed and the models began to walk down the runway, my hand was scribbling over the paper. The hour and a half felt like a few minutes because I was so enthralled in the whole thing. Louis Vuitton sure knew how to put on a show. Finn came back with us to our car so we could all go to our house and change into our evening gowns before the after party.
