I Love Being Big. 9

Get Her Done

The boutique/ restaurant is finally finished. I'm so happy. I'm about to go see it. Sean walked in and hugged me. I kissed him. I was dressed in a pink sundress. Sean had on some khakis and a polo shirt.

We got Chitta and got in the van. This is the last four days of us being in Texas. We're then going back to Atlanta, and then we'll go back home to New York. Everyone piled in. Sean and Sonia's crews are already there waiting.

We pulled up to the house and got out the car. We walked over to the steps. I smiled. There was a big sign that said CJM. There was a glass door instead of the big wooden one that used to be there. We walked in and in the living room and dining room were many tables. There was at least 10. All four seaters.

The walls were a tan color and the place had white tile floors and painting of food. The menus had 25 dishes. The stairs were now an escalator. They put a down going escalator right next to it. We got up there and looked around. There were clothing racks full of clothing everywhere and a sign hung down that said CJM Clothing Boutique.

I looked around and a tear almost escaped my eyes. I was so happy. I was smiling. I walked up the steps to the manager's office and it was nice. It had a love seat, a desk, a shelf, a computer, a desk chair, a tiny restroom, and a mini fridge. I smiled and hugged Sean and Sonia.

"Thanks y'all. Sean you getting some tonight and Sonia we're going out on a dinner once we get back to Atlanta. My treat." I said. They both cheered. Chitta was cooing and slobbering on her bib. I kissed her cheek and wiped her little mouth.

"I want to have a grand opening. I want all my friends and employees from dad's boutiques and my employees and owners of other boutiques here." I said.

"Okay. That's 48 people. We don't have enough tables for that." Sonia said.

"They will take turns. Some people will be upstairs in the boutique anyway." I said as I calculated in my head who was going to be where.

"Alright. Let's get her done" she cheered.

.............................................................

The grand opening was amazing. The BBW Club showed up, My college and Fashion School friends showed up, my family showed up, my employees and dad's employees showed up, other owners of boutiques showed up. There ended up being close to 60 people there. Good thing a lot of people just came for the boutique and to talk, get food, and leave.

One guy there told me that I deserve an award for my doings. A day later, I received a phone call telling me I was selected to receive an award when I get back to Atlanta. It's supposed to be the night of the day before my last day there.
