Make the Most of It

25. All Ready

"What are you talking about?" I asked, frantically. "And what do you mean this time?"

"Zayn's a bit spontaneous, which I'm assuming you already know."

"And?" I urged.

"And well the last time he did this, he didn't come back for a whole 6 months."

"Are you serious? Why would he do this?!"

"Did you guys get into a huge fight?"

"No. It was just a small argument and we even made up," I said, as my voice cracked. "I don't get it."

"Well if he actually likes you, I'm sure he'll call." I nodded, even though I knew Liam obviously couldn't see me. "Here give me your number and I'll let you know if I hear anything, okay?"

"Yeah." I told him my number and then we both put the phone down. As I leaned against the wall of Zayn's room, an idea suddenly popped into my head. If Zayn wouldn't come here, I would go there to him. Besides, I was already going to Italy. I could just make a stop along the way.

As I got back home and went to bed, I held on to that small piece of hope. Maybe I didn't lose Zayn just yet.

The next day at work, I called the lady again to plan out my trip details.

"Hello? Nikki Adelson, correct?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Ok so we have most of the details planned out. You'll be leaving in a week. Does that work?"

"Yes, but I was wondering if maybe I could make a stop in the UK and stay there for a couple days?" I asked. She thought about it for a moment.

"I supposed that'll work, yes."

"Thank you!"

"So you'll be leaving in a couple days then, to go to the UK. You can stay there for almost a week, then you'll come to Italy where we have all your accomodations reserved in Milan and you'll meet with the designers on June 2." That was less than a month away.

I wondered if she had already booked tickets for two people. She said she would've, but I don't know if I was actually going to need them both now that Zayn decided to go missing.

"Ok," I answered as I wrote everything down. "And what should I bring along with me?"

"Bring your designs, on paper, and preferably some of your best dresses that you've made in the past. If the company likes it, there's a chance you may appear on a fashion show in Milan." I felt my heart beating faster in my chest as I heard the great news. I couldn't wait!

The lady and I said goodbye and I put the phone down. Then, I walked out of my office to meet with all my workers.

"I have great news everyone! Our designs were accepted by a company in Milan and I'm going over there in a week to have a meeting. If all works out as planned, our designs could be in a fashion show in Milan!" Everyone clapped and cheered as I took a small bow. "And of course, I'd like to thank you all because I wouldn't have gotten this amazing oppurtunity without you guys! Thank you!" They cheered again and some even came over to hug me.

We spent the rest of my time discussing details about what designs to bring, etc.

Once I got home from work that day, I decided to call Aria over so I could tell her everything. She happily accepted and came over in no time at all.
