Searching for Love

Chapter 32

Aria's Pov.

It's 8 in the morning and I laid on my bed looking up at the blank ceiling. My tv was on from the movie I was watching last night on BET, searching for the remote I found my phone instead.

I seen I had a couple missed calls and texts from Miracle last night. Quickly I sent her a good morning text with a smiley face, Zoie walked in my room with a cup of tea in her hand.

"You up?"

"Yeah like a couple minutes ago." I sat up yawning. Grabbing my laptop I checked all my emails and seen Jean Paul emailed me this morning around 6am. He's been calling and asking me to send more of my drawings and different things that I have been designing lately.

"What's wrong?" Zoie asked me.

"Jean Paul emailed me." I smiled.

"Well what does it say?" She said sipping her hot tea.

"It says....
Bonjour Ms.Welch I have very exciting news. I have went over your information with a couple of my colleagues, and showed them some of your beautiful designing and discussed some amazing things and came up with a wonderful idea.
We did some back ground check ups on you and seen you graduate May 20th of 2017. We would like to fly you out here to Paris France on the 21st of May to do a Summer line and if all go's well a Autumn/ Winter line as well.
Everything would be paid for, from plane tickets to the hotel you would be staying in, food as well. Even anything personal you might like to make your stay welcoming and comfortable.

-Write back Jean Paul."

"Are you serious?" She asked grabbing the laptop from me reading it over. I got out the bed and started pacing the room with a smile on my face.

"Oh my God." Zoie started cheering.

"Thank you so much God." Tears started rolling down my eyes.

"Won't he do it?" Zoie embraced me in a hug.

"Should I go?" I asked her bitting my nails.

"What kind of question is that?"

"I mean like..-."

"Don't you start that bull Aria." She sat on the edge of my bed.

"No it's just ima be so far from home." I sat next to her thinking about the process.

"So? Your going to pursue your dreams babes. Take a risk and see where it may take you." She nudged my shoulder smiling. Tears began to run down my face, it's tears of joy and sadness.

"I'm gonna miss you Zo." I looked up at her with glossy eyes.

"Aria don't do this please." She began to cry but wipped her tears away. "It's January we got 4 months to do whatever before you go."

"True." I breathed out wiping my tears.

"You gonna tell your dad?" She asked.

"No." I responded quickly.

"Why not?"

"You know he's in a relationship and I don't want him worrying about me. Didn't you see how happy he was when we went down there for Christmas." After the incident with me and Mihkel Zoie and I went to my dads house for the holidays trying to get my mind off Rashad.

It's the first week of January and I haven't talked to him for like 3 weeks. I'm getting worried, he won't reply to my messages or calls could he possibly hate me that much?

I guess him and Chris got into it the day of the incident because he hasn't been home since then. Chris called his parents and asked has he been staying with them but he hasn't, seems like their still on bad terms. But I heard he's still going to class that's the good part of it.
