S. L. Diaries [Continuing]

Birth of $Phire (Pt. 1)

 The light from the sun beamed at me as I twisted and turned upon reaching full consciousness once again. I got up feeling refreshed and revitalized. However, as I stretched my arms to roof, the cold air from the AC slapped my skin and I went tumbling under the white comforter covered in neon pink polkadots.
It was nice to have my phone on silent throughout my rest as all night my notification ringtone would echo recurrently. Sigh, I have just found that method to be a resolve of late. Uuughhh...why didn't I think of that earlier. Anywho, I reached for my phone to check my messages. I didn't have to press my thumb against the screen as a Facetime call was coming in from both Kris and Teylor.
I answered Teylor's; sending the call to my television via my electroband. While he was walking around busy looking for something, I told Kris that I'd soon call back.
I sat there rubbing my eyes waiting for him to talk while scrolling through my IG feed.

Teylor: [finally sits down] Hey sleepyhead.
*smiles* You just got up didn't you?
Sapph: Mhmmm...
Teylor: What are you doing today?
Sapph: Chilling, ...whatever comes to mind.
I was supposed to be doing
some final shopping for tomorrow
but, my parents said they would get
someone to take care of it.:: So yea...
Teylor: Ah.
So do you want to go hang out at
your dad's country club today?
My friends and I going there to chill.
Sapph: Mhmmm... Maybe I'll show but no
promises.
I think I have a fitting today and a
Spa and beauty appointment.
Teylor: Ok let me know if you will come.
[She gives a thumbs up and ends
the call]

I called back Kris an he told me he was now in America, L.A. to be specific. He was basically checking up on me and he was asking about my time in Korea with Exo. All the time he sounded strange, nevertheless, he would continue asking me questions.
Then he switched the subject and began telling me what he's doing in the U.S. Mhmm...that's strange.
Anywho, we couldn't talking, however, the thought of what could possibly be the relation between them and Kris lingered on my mind. Note to self: do some research.
Kris and I talked for at least an hour so then I ended the call because my appointment was literally in thirty minutes and then I'm just now seeing the reminder that I also had a Birthday photo shoot 15 minutes exactly after I'm done with my spa treatment.
Notably, the photographer works by time and to the Tee and so anyone who misses their session, celebrity or not, he's moving on. This is so as he has a packed schedule on a daily basis and he's one of London's most sought after photographers, dubbed by great great grandmother Queen Liz. (Only family can call her that)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overall, my beauty appointment lasted about six hours the most and now my chauffeur was carrying me to my photo shoot along with my assistant. I think my styling team should already at the venue with my stuff. My hair was now dyed golden blonde with hot blue, orange and red streaks from the lower middle to the end. My hair was pinned in curl nots and covers with a bonnet.
I think this is the only time I've ever dyed my hair more than three times in one holiday. That's really not good so I'm well aware that I can't dye my hair until at least summer. Just because I want to maintain a healthy hair.
Anywho, I'm going to get my hair straightened for the shoot then whatever with it ...that's up to my stylists. This year for eighteenth birthday, I have designed new $Phire clothing with the help of Mr. Michelle* and his team. I will have young promo people in it.
The debut of $Phire (18th ed.) will be out for purchase the day after. The only think that's exclusively mine is my entrance dress made by Givenchy's top designer. Oh gosh, I've seen it, it looks like phire and I've fitted it, I look dang good.
I was snapped out of semi-consciousness when the driver pulled my door open and the breeze hit my body. Outside was extra cold so I grabbed my Burberry coat and flung it over my body quickly.
I almost ran inside, however, my appearance and reputation had to be protected since the paparazzi was present. As I came in, I was told that I had 15 mins. to prepare so yea... later.
[THREE HOURS LATER]
So all my pre-birthday prep and shoots were now over and so I changed into a royal purple velvet x-strapped dress and put on my coat over it and my black knee high high heeled boots from Louboutin. I was going to a pre-dinner celebration put on by parents at a five star rooftop restaurant which had views for dayssss. I got my hair and makeup touched up and then headed out of the place.
My butler sneaked me in on the fact that this particular restaurant was well sought after, all the same, my dad got the whole place rented out for the time we'd be there.
When I got off the elevator on the highest floor, I saw a whole bunch of people through the glass door. I wasn't but I was, if you know what I a mean. I took my coat off and through it over my arm.
As I entered everyone, stood and clapped to the music, I guess they learnt my favourite song or whatever. It was "Bloodline" by Ariana Grande. I saw all my friends from school and otherwise. I have a big "hello" to everyone with a smile and went to my seat in between my parents. When I looked to my side I saw Seth and I was surprised. I took me in for a big hug; holding me tightly.
It didn't a minute after for the food to be served, right after the priest blessed the celebration and dinner. In the middle of eating, I looked around at everyone. They all looked very happy and that made me the happiest person in the world. I saw that Teylor was here and by the other side was Kris. I couldn't see clearly but I think Lucky and the other models were here too.
I stopped gazing around and tuned into the conversation that was occurring among my family while eating.
In the meanwhile dessert was being served, I went to the centre of the room with a glass of sparkling champagne. By some way, everyone's attention diverted to me so I got a bit nervous and cleared my throat.

Sapph: *fans herself* So I wasn't expecting
this much...like at all. I was
expecting just a little dinner with my
family. [jokingly glares at them and
everyone snickers]. Anywho, thank to
my parents, brother who didn't tell
me he'd be here.
Seth: What difference would it make?!
Sapph: Whatever. Thank you all for being
here and I really appreciate
everyone being here to support on
this pre-birthday eve. I'm
approaching a very important mile-
stone tomorrow and putting all fun
and jokes aside, I'm scared of
what comes next and most of you
may or may not know but there are
somethings that will change for me.
Nevertheless, I'll take it all peace-
fully and [glances at her parents
and brother] positively....
(quickly glimpses in the direction of
Teylor and Kris)
Thank you again, everyone.

I briskly took my seat and avoid the thick and tense feeling in the air which was tying knots in my stomach. I was frozen for awhile until two hands on either of mine. I looked to see my Dad and Seth's hands on my wrists. They gave me some comfort so I gave myself a mental pep talk and looked up. I was only now fully emmersed in my dessert trying to avoid certain eyes.
I message came in on my phone and I checked to see that it was Char. She wanted me to go out to the balcony with her. I looked at her and we communicated with our eyes and got up at the same time. Her hands met mine at the glass door and we went out to the balcony together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Char: You know you don't have to take on
her responsibilities, right?
Sapph: I know, that's not it. I just think
arranged consignments are ancient,...
things of the past.
Tomorrow starts the day on which my
mother's mistake will change the
future for me, however slight it
maybe. She's lucky hers was
someone she grew to love.
Char: You bet you. But I'm sure since your
grandfather is not around anymore
your grandmother will overrule it. She
doesn't even care about traditional
marriages anymore. A mean, she's
living her best life.
Sapph: *giggles* You're right about that. That
woman literally lives in modern
Hampton now.
Anywho, the fact that the who or the
when remains a mystery, still jolts my
soul.
Char: * turns to face inside* I think they
should be wrapping up now. Let's go
inside.


So we went back inside and everyone walking around and liming while we walked inside to get to the dessert table, as usual. Our favourite place to be. I remember when Char and I used to hide under the dessert table with a whole tray of different yummy stuff and eat to our heart's content.
Char and are older now, nevertheless, we took a bunch of desserts with us on an empty tray and went into the empty hall way way out by the balcony. My mom and hers saw us leave but burst into laughter then quickly went back to their conversation.
Our moms were cool best friends but if our dads had seen us, boy... Let's just say it wouldn't be heavenly as our delicious desserts. We walked to the lounge after we had fixed our dessert ridden lips and went to the lounge where Char's bf, Prince ().
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were all just hanging out in the arcade room playing games, Char's bf, her, Teylor and I, when Teylor grabbed my hand in the midst of a DVR. It was quite amusing to Char and Dillon as I was kissing Teylor and stepping on the hands at the same time. In fact, we both were. He was clearly cheating but I pushed him off after a while and picked up the pace leaving him to wallow in my dust. Ha!
