Twisted Chances

13. Niko (Warning)

My plan was solely to keep making Nia jealous until she realises and admits her feelings for me.

But upon seeing her cry that day has me regretting the decision.

Did I somehow hurt her by fake dating Brittany?

Did she feel ignored? But that was never the plan...

Wait did she think that we can never be together after seeing me and Brittany?

Oh no please don't tell me she is trying to lose all her feelings now.

Shi-

"Shit!" I cry out as I poke my left thumb with the needle.

I immediately took my hand away from the gown which I was sweing.

It is a special proposal made by Madam Smith.
She is my idol. My first teacher who taught me sewing, who helped me gain an interest in fashion designing and has always been there in my entire life. In my whole journey to being what I am.

I had first met her when I had sneaked into Sofia's co-curricular class wearing a wig to spy on her and a boy named Jonathan as I had seen those two together before. And my luck was with me that day as I had a free period in my class specifically at that time. So, to disguise myself I had worn a wig and had brought the extra pair of Sofia's school uniform and had worn it since we both were around the same height at that time, it was easier.

I had a handkerchief and had to borrow a needle and thread from the girl beside me.

That was when I had first met Madam Smith. She was charming, kind and very patient. She had beautiful golden hair with looked like golden fleece and she always wore a smile around her student.

Thinking that I am a new student she gave me extra attention that day. That was when I had started liking sewing which then turned into my love for fashion designing.

-----
And now she is getting married.

So, she asked me to sew her a gown completely by me.

And honestly this is one of my finest works because it carries my love and respect for her.
I have never been this patient with a piece of my work before.

I always need to have something strong before continuing as I often lose my motivation to continue it.

It's not that I did not need one right now. I needed one but it wasn't as needed as fast as it usually is.

From this I have quite acquired an addiction of drinking. I try to lessen it but it becomes very difficult as I end doing the same thing again.

Maybe not allways but most of the time I am not sane after nine in the evening.

It's whenever I have work to complete.

-----
I go to the washroom to clean my cut and first aid it.

I have to many cuts from my needles at this point.

After Madam Smith's, I still have a special order by Clara for her birthday party to complete.
Clara is a famous actress and a favourite of most people at that. And also a very good friend of mine.

After that I still have dresses left to design for the upcoming fashion show, "Spring Glamour Galore".

It seems I have a lot of drunk, sleepless nights coming up.

As I sat back on my stool to finish what I had started but soon images of Nia crying that came up.

She is so not going to let me work in peace.
