Weave Of Fate: Rock My World

Collections of Imagination

Shen POV

My mother is like a different person.  I keep waiting for her to turn back into the person she always was to me.  Xia has told me to just go with the flow and give her a chance.  But she was always someone I had to guard against as she was always wanting to control my everymove.  

Xia is great with her though as soon as she starts to slip.  Xia will cough or raise an eyebrow at her and she'll take a minute to think before she speaks.  Even my father seems to be getting on with her better. 

It's been a month since I asked Xia to be my wife.  We have been talking with her parents over video call and my parents trying to think of the best place and date to get married.  

Xia has asked though, that we let her first collection go out first, so she has a little mote time to think and plan.

Her first show for the company with be shown in two days.  I haven't seen much of Xia as she plans and runs throw things with the models and stage crew.  It will be the first time that we haven't just done a runway too.  Xia came up with an idea that we set the stage for the various design styles.

So we have a classroom setting, sports setting, social setting, casual setting and a prom setting.  Then once the models have appeared with the different set's, they'll then walk the runway as it finishes.

Xia has been so busy as she also designed some of the accessories when she couldn't find what she wanted.  So we have also found a company to make those as we felt they would also be requested.

Doug is in the States looking after their surrogate mother.  It's still in the early stages but they are both delighted.  Only Stew misses him and has spent time with Xia and I as he hates being in his apartment on his own.

Xia is thinking of letting him go back to the States to be with Doug as he really is missing him and getting moody with everyone but her.

My phone rings "hey, is everything alright?" I ask Trevor as he rarely calls me.  "I have to meet with a client and have no-one to pick up Ben?" he tells me "no problem, when and where?" I ask

"I'll send it to you, and also tell his school that you'll be picking him up.  Thanks man" he thanks sounding relieved.  "I was going to call Xia then remembered that its her show soon and thought of you" he explains

"Thank you, it means a lot to me that you trust me with your son" I tell him "Ben is going to be happy as he really wants to finish that Lego model you started last time" he adds he, tells me he'll call when he's finished and can pick him up before ending the call.

My phone goes again before I can put it down.  "Yes" I answer "Sir we don't want you to worry, but Ms. Grace has had a slight accident!" I'm told "Where is she?" I demand "I'm with the stage crew, we where just running  through" "is she still there?" I ask interrupting him, "yes Sir" "I'll be right there" I say ending the call.

"Jin, I need to go out for a bit.  Only pass calls that need my immediate response to me.  Other wise you deal with it or tell them I'll get back to them?" I instruct as I head towards the elevator.

It takes a gruelling 20 minutes to get to the venue due to traffic.  I run into hotel that we will be holding the show at.  I burst through the doors and see Xia sitting on a chair giving instructions.

"What happened to you?" I ask walking up to her.  "It was my own fault, I forgot I was on the ladder and stepped back.  It's just a bit of a bruise really" she brushes off.

I look her over and see the bruise forming on her ankle.  I crouch down in front of her and lift her foot.  "Someone get some ice please or ice pack and some bruise medicine?" I call out.
