Her Desperate Heart

Chapter nine.

“ so...."
“ And it also have to be in form of a video and it needs to be submitted in a week " Irene added.
“ I cant do it " Iris said.
“ of course you can " Irene encouraged.
“ Think about it, we cant possibly arrange everything in a week. I cant fix more than four dresses in a week and i probably have to make more than that" Iris said.
“ But you can ask Ron and Perry to help" Irene said.
“ Ron, is really busy and Perry is even more busy, he has several dresses to make and i am also busy. I have Anne's and her bridemaids dresses to make, i understand that i have always all this thing but i dont want a deadline for it." She said.
“ i know you dont like working with pressure but just imagine how good it will be for you. You wouldn't need Adrien to wear your clothes " Irene said.
“ I want Adrien to wear my clothes not need. I understand how much this is to me. But i dont feel like the timing is right"
“ what happened to beating Tristin and Troy " Her sister asked.
“ let's just say i outgrew it, it isn't that important to me anymore " she said.
“ But..." She looked at her sister, “ Irene, let this offer go. She's your friend continue being friends with her. Just tell Lauren not to cancel the meeting " she told her sister.
“ But you are not accepting the offer" Irene said.
“ I know but i have another pleasant idea" she said.
“ Tell me about it "
“ I will. But at the meeting. Now forget about work and tell me about your life " she said changing the topic.
“ I dropped Carl with mum and dad. There's a possibility that they might be coming into town soon" Irene said.
“ Why?? " she asked.
“ Well, Olivia probably didn't tell you about her baby shower in two weeks " Irene said.
“ Oh, That's good " she said.
“ Yeah and she gave the contract to Buttercup events"
“ so she told everyone not me "
“ She knew i was going to tell you "
“ Tristin doesnt even care"
“ He does. Just that everyone knows about how much trouble you cause and how quiet Olivia is. No one's going to believe you " Irene said.
“ It's literally none of my business, if she doesnt invite me. I wouldn't even bother showing up"  she said. She heard Someone knocking and she asked for the person to come in. It was  Daisy, “ What's wrong? " she asked.
“ You've got a package" Daisy replied. She couldn't even remember ordering anything.
“ Sure send it in" she said and Daisy left the room.
“ You look confused like you didn't order anything "
“ Of course i didn't order anything " she replied. Daisy walked in with a man, “ Hey, i am Paul. I was asked to deliver this to you " he said dropping a little basket in front of her. “ please sign here" he said and she did and he left the room with Daisy. Leaving her and her sister and also the basket. She opened the letter attached to the basket.
                                      Dear Iris,
        Hey, so i wanted to thank you for the advice earlier on, so thank you. And i also thought about the fact that i haven't given you a gift yet. So i got this after hours of thinking and you can also return it, if you dont like it. Thanks once again.
                                       Signed
                                              By
                                                 Me.

She smiled knowing that it was from Nick, “ What is it? " her sister asked eagerly. She gave the letter to her sister and waited for her sister to read it.
“ Who is it from? " her sister asked then she gave her sister a look then her sister said “ Nicholas " and she nodded.
“ I'm scared to open it" she told her sister.
“ Then let me do it " her sister said trying to touch the basket, she slapped her sister hands and her sister pouted. She opened the basket slowly, “ I hate suspense" Irene said.
“ You can leave if you want " she told her sister. She finally opened the basket and she was shocked, it was a little white Munchkin cat, just like her little Archie. She gasped and sister stood up to check it. Her sister gasped too, “ It's little Archie " Irene said.
“ Didn't think you will remember Archie " she told her sister.
“ Everyone does. We all know how important he was to you before Troy came but how did Nick know about him " Irene asked.
“ Because, i told him, duh" she said picking up little Archie. He opened his eyes and and yawned snuggling closer to her hand patting him.
“ Dont you think you are getting tok close to him. He knows about Archie."
“ We already had sex so we kinda close " she told her sister and her sister laughed like it was a joke, “ Shh, you will wake him up" she told her sister.
“ Wait, you are joking right? " her sister asked.
“ Nope. Dont act like it's bad, you slept with Ethan before marriage " she told her sister.
“ Because, he was ready to get married to me but did Nick mention marriage to you " Irene asked.
“ No but it just happened in the moment" she told her sister.
“ You need to stop letting things happen in moments"
“ Everything good happens during moments" she replied.
“ Please tell me about one good thing from moments "
“ Look at Carl, look at little Iris " she pointed to her sister's baby bump.
“ Shut up"
“ you too. Trust me, I wont let myself fall too deep"
“ That's what you always say" her sister said.
“ When did i say something like this " she asked.
“ With Benjamin. When i caught you flirting with him, you said it was just a fling and you weren't liking him " Irene said.
“ Did i? " she asked touching her chest making funny noises.
“ yes and dont say i didn't tell you. Now hand over Archie to me " her sister said collecting Archie from her.
“ i need to call him" she said picking her phone up and calling him.
“ Okay " Irene said.
“ Please shut up" she told her sister.
“ I will try" Irene said.
“ if you dont, i will tell mum that you are filing for a divorce" she said and Irene gasped.
“ Hey, Iris " she heard Nick's voice. She placed her finger on her lips  before saying, “ Nick. I love the gift. You made me feel like a little kid again " she said.
“ I'm glad you like it " he said.
“ Thanks really. It means a lot " she said.
“ I've got to go. Bye" he said.
“ Iris, you are falling for him " Irene said.
“ of course,  i like him "
“ Do you love him?" Irene asked.
“ I dont know but i know that i like him."
“ sincerely, i dont know what to say about it. I can be wrong about the vision. I was wrong about Olivia. So it also means i can be wrong " her sister said, her sister was right. Irene had seen a vision that she was going to get into trouble for pushing Olivia down when she was pregnant making her have a premature baby. Olivia said it was a mistake but no one will believe it. She waited for it to happen but it didn't, Olivia has four kids now.
“ i know, i dont really need you to tell me " she told her sister.
“ Of course, you do. You have reservations towards him. "
“ i didn't know that you are now me " She told her.
“ i am you. You are me. And we are each other ".
“ Fuck you" she raised her middle finger.
“ You know I'm not lying. Remember what Rose said " Irene said.
“ Rose was a sadistic woman with no one except us. She derived joy in building fantasies" she told her sister. Rose was like a second mother to them, she had liked kids but could never hers. She had told them that they were connected to each other, and had tought them that slogan ( I am you. You are me. And we are each other.) Mostly because they felt it when any of them was in trouble. And after Rose died, she had told her sister that it was all fake. There was no magic in that because other twin could feel it also. But Irene didn't stop, she never did.
“ I cant believe you will talk bad about her " Irene said.
“ i didn't, i am just telling you the plain truth. She said a lot of things. Like when she said that i would get into trouble later in life."
“ Of course you did, look at Benjamin"
“ could you quit mentioning him"
“ Can you quit talking bad about Rose"
“ i can but i wont " she said.
“ See!!!" Her sister said.
“ Okay fine.we make a deal, you wont talk about my relationship with Benjamin and i wont say anything about Rose"
