What did we do?

Ironing out the finer details

      I woke up to the smell of coffee. "Good morning beautiful." Said Hunter. "Oh man i'm exhausted. I think it's knowing i have so much more to do." I said sitting up in the bed. He handed me a coffee in a cup with a lid. I took a sip. "Ah, thank you." "Well what do you need to do first?" He asked. "Call the modeling agency." He handed my phone to me.

     "Okay then i'm gonna go shower and give you a minute." He said. "Thanks babe, you're the best." We only had a month until the wedding. That meant that in two weeks we'd have Hunter's CD release party. In three we'd have my fashion show then we were going home to do last minute wedding things. Which reminded me we needed to figure out a bachelor and bachelorette party. Another problem for another day though.

     I googled a modeling agency in Nashville. Thank goodness they had one not to far. "Hello this is Collete how can i help you?" "Hi Collete i'm looking for twelve models for my fashion show debuting in three weeks in Nashville." I said. "Okay...is there a day you can come see the girls walk?" She asked. "Sure, tomorrow." I said. "Okay, let me see...looks like Dana is free at Eleven. I'll get her to get a few ladies. Any specifications?" She asked. "No, i suppose not. Maybe a few curvier girls. A few pieces have cleavage." I designed for the every day woman. I mean super thin is a very small percentage of people.

      "Okay i'll put you on the calendar and she will see you Monday at eleven." She said. "Thank you have a good day." I breathed a sigh of relief. I don't know that anything really got done but it felt like maybe it had. I just needed to go back home so i could do more. I still had two pieces to design still. I heard the shower cut off and Hunter stepped out. "Hey, did you get everything done?" He asked. "I guess so." I said. "And now?" He asked pulling on a shirt. "I need bacon." I said.

     "Oh i can make that happen." He said. "Wanna split a grand slam breakfast?" I asked.  I thought you'd never ask." He said. I quickly changed into a shirt and pair of shorts. I ran my fingers through my curls and put on a little makeup, slipped into my shoes and out the door.

                     ----------------------------------------------------------------

    "This is my favorite. I can never choose just one thing. But it's to much for just me." I said. "Glad I could help you out then." He said holding my hand. "So I wanted to talk to you about something." I said. "Shoot." He said chewing on a piece of bacon. "What are we gonna do for our bachelor and bachelorette parties?" I asked licking the grape jelly from my lips.  "Oh I had an idea. Maybe this is kinda lame. I mean Jackson hated the idea but honestly I don't care." He took his phone from his pocket and clicked around a few seconds then he showed me the page. "This is a spa?" I asked confused.

     "Yea, I thought we could do a bunch of stuff together. I mean I know your girls will like it." "You know what, I like it. I don't have a ton of friends I was always more focused on work and stuff so y'know?" I shrugged. "This is me we're talking about. That's why I love you though! I'll be honest. That day you told me one day I'd find somebody I loved more than the music I thought 'man this girl must not love fashion design like I love music, cause if she did she wouldn't say that.'" He said. I smirked. "And now you've changed your mind, oh whatever made you do that?" I asked. "You. You're amazing." He said kissing my cheek. "Awe, I like you." I said giggling.

     We finished the breakfast and headed back to pack up the hotel and check out. We took one more trip to see both of our parents and then met at the restaurant. I wasn't sure if Taylor and Gabby would take me up on my offer for work. But I decided if they didn't I'd just hire somebody. I'd get over that, I'd have too. I was already pretty much done with the line I was pushing it out there. Letting it fly on it's little baby bird wings if you will.

    They waved to us from a corner booth. "They look happy right?" I whispered. "Yea, of course. This is going to be fine. Breath." He said smiling. "Okay, calm...breath." We took a seat from across from them. "Hey you guys. You are so cute together." Taylor said. "Thanks, so I assume you guys had time to talk about the job offer..." I said. "Well yes but we have questions." Said Taylor.

        "Oh of course, ask away." I said. "Where are we gonna live?" Gabby asked. "Um wherever you want?" I asked. "Oh, of course I didn't know...I just meant..." "You can live in a house close to work." I said. "How much are you paying us?" Asked Taylor. "I dunno I haven't figured that out yet. But don't worry. I'll be sure to pay you guys plenty." I said. "Okay so what exactly is it you need us to do?" Gabby asked. "I mean I just want to make sure that we have the right y'know skill set." Said Gabby. We placed our order for drinks. I picked up a menu and looked through it.

     "Oh of course. It's not a hard job, it's just one that I can't be here for. So after the line debuts people are going to be calling to place orders. They'll tell you how many and of what they want. So you'll need to keep up with the distributor. That's the people having all the clothes made. Just make sure all the clothes look okay and they get sent to the stores. It will be a lot of packing and shipping and whatnot. Am I going to fast?" I asked. "No no you're fine. But we can call you if we have any problems right?" Asked Taylor. I rolled my eyes. "Obviously. " I said.

      The waitress came back to take our order. Once she was gone I turned back to the girls. "You guys don't sound like you're sure about this." I said. "Well we think it'll be a grand adventure. Were just nervous. We don't want to screw this up." Said Gabby. "Gotcha. What else?" I asked. "When would you want us to come to Nashville?" Asked Gabby.  "As soon as you can. Cause in three weeks you'll have to come right back for the wedding and I need time to show you the ropes." I said.

     "Right plus we'll need to find a house so we can get moved. I guess we can look and after the wedding move everything with us." Said Gabby. "Look I will make you a big folder of everything you need to know." I said. "Look like I said we'll be fine. You can trust us. We just wanna do it right." Said Gabby. The waitress set down the food and we dug in. "I'm so glad you guys are doing this." I said. "Just to be clear it was all my idea." Hunter joked. "Well okay it was. But thank you!" I said hugging his arm. "Of course." He said kissing my cheek.

       "Okay we'll take Taylor's car down there and fly home for the wedding. Then we'll take my car the second time. We can load both cars down each time that'll probably get everything." Gabby said. "Did you guys tell your parents?" Hunter asked. "We did my mom wasn't to thrilled but she knows it's a great opportunity." Said Gabby. "Yea my daddy was all kinds of worried but it's gonna be...fun." Taylor said grinning big. "Okay good then." I said pushing my now empty plate back.

      "We have to get going back to Nashville soon but as soon as you guys get to Nashville and get a hotel call me and we'll meet up. We will get started. I have to meet with a modeling agency tomorrow it's just gonna be all sorts of busy." I said. "You got this J." Said Taylor. "Thanks guys. We really gotta go though. But let me know when you guys get to Nashville." I said standing up. I placed some cash on the table and we left.

     "Hey that worked out!" I said excited. "Are you worried?" He asked. "Not really, Taylor used to work at a post office doing the mailing and shipping of things and Gabby used to work for a production company. But I think it's when it's your friends you worry. Because I don't want this to screw up our friendship." I said. He opened the door to our rental car for me. "Thanks, and y'know how do you tell them if they are doing something wrong?" I asked. He pulled out of the parking lot.

      "Well they probably will this is new for everybody." He said. "Yes, I suppose it is. But I trust them way more than I would some stranger." I said. "I know it's your baby." He said. He pulled into the small airport. "Ready to go home?" He asked wrapping me into a hug. "Yea, busy busy work." I said. "I know the next few weeks will be busy but afterwards you'll have me all to yourself in London." He said leaning down. "I can't wait." I said kissing him.

     "Excuse me Mr. and Mrs. Hayes." We pulled apart. "Sorry." I said embarrassed. "It's no problem. Are you ready to go? I have the plane all ready to go." He said. "Oh yes, great. Thank you." Hunter said. He placed the keys to the rental car in the seat. We boarded the plane and the pilot loaded on the luggage. Headed home to begin the crazy
