Eternally Ours

48- Mistaken

After the eventful afternoon me and Jack spent together it didn't feel like long until Freddie, Annie and Harry came home from taking Freddie out and grabbing more food. They got a hell of a lot more food than we did and Harry insisted upon not taking money from anyone. Due to the lack of clothing I now have, which I told my Nan about it on the phone, she has booked me an appointment in with a department store a half an hour drive from here which she said will get me everything I need and how she had already sent over my mesuremnts to her. I repetedly told her I was just going to go to a normal shop and buy a few cheap things to last me the days I'm here which then of course fell on deaf ears.

When I went down and told everyone about this Harry wasn't shocked at her response, Jack said he'd go with me if I want, Annie said she would come as she loves the coffee they sell there and Freddie practically jumped out of his chair to tell me he's coming with me. I don't think it is completly nessassary for me to have to go to a department store for a personal shopper to do my clothes shopping for me is crazy. But as my Grandmother said on the phone I need to get used to this life.

"I don't see why I can't drive." Freddie sulks in the back, his face plastered with a pissed off expression etched onto his face.

"Because you are not allowed to drive my car and Harry said you can't drive his either. Stop sulking were going shopping." I mutter back subtly turning the volume up on the music, Juicy by Biggy playing through the speakers- Jack's playlist that he has uploaded onto my phone. I pull into the entrance that my grandmother text's me and the is a valet waiting take the car. What the hell is this? All I needed was a few items, not to many just a few. This is like some A list celebrity stuff.

"Miss Turner would you like to follow me, I'm Margot I will be your personal shopper today. I have already picked out a few items for different category's in accordance to the measurements that your grandmother sent over. Lovely lady by the way please do send our sincerest regards when you see her next. As I was saying I have organised them by item of clothing and then into different categories in accordance to the occasion. Miss Adeyemi and Mr Turner you are more than welcome to join Miss Turner in the room where you will find seating and refreshments plus a small buffet of food. Is there anything I can get you such as tea or coffee?" I am completely in awe of this women standing in front of me. She is young, her mid twenties if I had to make a guess. Her hair is elegantly swept up into a low bun. Perfectly put together her dress pressed to perfection, it is black and matches her heels, pointed toe as she seems to float next to us, she walks so effortlessly. I find myself still staring as we follow her down the long corridor to the dressing room. I quickly divert my eyes to look the other way before she notices. Thank God that Jack did not come with me I don't think that I could have been able to withstand the jealousy I am currently feeling towards this beautiful women in front of me.

"So how does some get into a job like yours?" Freddie charmingly asks gazing down at her with an equally charming smile.

She smiles up at him as she answers, "I completed an undergrad course in fashion design at Central St. Martins and then went on to do my masters in fashion styling. I worked in Harrods for three years after that as an intern and now I work here as the head of buying and the personal shopping aspect. I only work first hand with selective clients. Is this an industry you are interested in going into?" Wow she is very qualified.

Freddie seems more intrigued now, his interests piqued, "Yes! I'm mainly a photographer and I wanted to specialise in fashion photography and CSM would be a dream!" He excitingly asks.

"I will get your email from you later and then if you send me your photographs will be happy to forward them on to the staff I know at CSM." She politely offers.

"Wow! That would be amazing if you could!"

"Of course, any friends Mrs Smith is a friend of mine. Alright follow me." She opens the door and hold it open for us to enter. The room is bright but a nice lighting, easy to see the outfits well. There's a drinks station along side the food buffet filled with an arrangement of different food. Champagne was what was dominating the bar glasses accompanying the bottles. Two velvet dark green sofas are placed next to each other one the cream carpet, both facing a raised platform that was surrounded by mirrors making the room feel like it was going on forever. There was a curtain area to go and get dressed but if it is just Annie and Freddie then I don't care if I change in front of them. Margot dismissed herself after explaining the different categories of clothes, the different seasons, different types of clothing in item and occasion, the shoes in heels, flats and boots. It was an endless collection of clothes and after a closer inspection once Margot left, I found that they also had an endless amount of designer labels to go with them and none of them had price-tags on them either, no doubt my grandmothers attempt to get me to choose more. I found this whole process alien, surely this isn't how my grandmother shops, this was like how super rich people lived and I for one am not one of them.
