A few minutes before five there was a knock on the door then the door bell rang. I ran to let two of the models in. I led them into the room where I had been working on the line. "Okay this one is for you and this one is for you." I said handing both girls their outfits. The first model needed the top taken in and the pants shortened so she didn't trip on the runway. The second model needed her top taken out just a bit. I had sewed in extra fabric and now I'm really glad I did. I unstiched the sides and pinned it in place.
"Okay if I can have you come back the day before the show we can do a final fitting. Thank you." "No problem, see ya then." Said model number one and they left. This was my evening until six when I was working on the last model. Her name was Claudia. I'm tellin ya she looked just like Jessica Rabbit. And no I wasn't jealous. Well okay maybe of her hair. But her curls were done by a big barrel curling iron. No way they would be that well tamed. I would know unfortunately.
I heard keys in the door. Hunter was home. I was trying to decide if I should lower the skirt or not. "Babe?" Hunter called out. "In here." I said not looking up from the skirt. "Well whadya think?" Hunter asked. I looked up. "Oh you got a haircut!! I love it!" I said walking over to give him a hug. "Thank you." His stomach growled. "Oh no I forgot to cook dinner, it's been so crazy today." I said. "Hey, it's fine. Let me take you out. We'll go to Venchinzos." He said.
"Okay let me finish up here. I need more pins. I'll be right back." I said and left the room. When I got back I heard Claudia talking. "You are so strong and sexy." My eyes shot up to my hairline. I knew Hunter wasn't interested. But come on that is so unprofessional of you. I waited to see what he would say. Because honestly after everything I'd been through today I could use some entertainment. I should feel bad but I don't. She's hitting on my husband after all.
"Thanks, that's what drew my wife to me in the first place." "Yes but she's not a model she's not nearly as pretty as me. You could use an upgrade sailor." She purred. "An upgrade to what exactly? A desperate model who's hitting on another girls husband while she's at work? And it's okay to do that because you're a 'model' and you're prettier than everybody else? I like the inside, sorry." He turned and left the room.
"Oh here's these pins I'm sorry." I said holding them up. "No problem. Pin away." She said. "Actually I'm starving. I'll get back with you tomorrow if that's okay." She smirked at Hunter. "Sure thing. See ya then." She waved and then left. Once she was gone Hunter walked over.
"Look, that thing hit on me. I just wanted you to know." "I know I heard her." I sighed. "Are you okay?" He asked. "Oh yea, I'm fine." I waved him off. "If I got mad every time a girl hit on you I'd stay mad." I said. "Well, are you going to call her back I mean isn't that awkward?" He asked. "Oh yea it is, I'm not calling her back because that was a new level of crazy. I have backup's it's fine. I just need to call Collet first thing in the morning to get my backup's measurements." I said.
"Good, ready for dinner?" He asked. My hair was a mess and my makeup was all gone. My clothes by this point looked ruffled. "Why not?" I said throwing my hands up in the hair. "Hey, look at me." He pulled me to him. He rubbed the lines underneath my eyes. "You look beautiful. Crazy hair and all. You look like you didn't sleep well last night." He noted. "I guess I didn't. Things have been crazier than usual and I'm afraid I can't keep up." I said.
"Well just a few more weeks of this and then we'll be in London. Y'know I was thinking we could always go to Paris or Italy after London. I mean we have a month." He said. "That'd be fun, we should." I said. "Now let me take you to dinner." He said lacing his fingers through mine.
--------------------------------------
Our food and drinks had been ordered and were brought to the table. I knew it was coming. I knew somebody was going to come up to us. They always did. But this encounter was different than the others. "Hi Hunter and Jessica, my name is Daniel and I'm a real estate agent. I hear you guys are in the market for a new home. I'd be happy to help in any way. Here's my card." She said setting it on the table. "We aren't looking for a new home actually." I said.
"Well People says that you are selling his condo and buying a love nest." She said. "And how in the heck would people know that? Not that we are. Because we aren't." I said. "Beats me. But keep me in mind. Chow." And she left. "That was strange." I said. "It was...I mean we did talk about getting our own place but not to anybody how would they know that?" He asked. "I wish I knew." I shrugged. We finished the dinner and headed back to the house. "Okay we've taken care of your hunger now what?" He asked.
"Well I've only got ten pieces made for this collection. I need two more. I don't know where to go from here. I think that's what's stressing me out the most." I said. "No problem we can fix this. You have dresses?" I nodded. "Pants?" I nodded. "Skirts?" I nodded. "Shorts?" I shook my head. "I guess I could add a cute pair of shorts." I said. "Right? A long pair and a short pair. And what if you paired them with fun t-shirts?" He asked. "Oh I like that idea. I mean everything I have is on the slightly more fancy side." I said. "Good, why don't you go take a hot bath with your sketch book and see what comes to you?" He suggested.
"Maybe I will." I said. I stayed in the tub longer than I needed to and when I got out I was pruney but I had two looks that would be great with my collection. "There is a shop next to my studio that promises one hour turn around on screen printing. Bet they could help?" Hunter suggested. "Oh that's a good idea because I was just wondering how I was going to do this." I said. "See I'm all kinds of helpful." He said putting his arms out. "You really are the best." I said. "I try." He smiled as he pulled me into a hug. I yawned into his arm.
"Come on go brush your teeth, let's get some sleep." He said. "Good idea, I'm supposed to meet the girls in the morning to do a run through of the business." I said. I didn't bother to pull out my pajamas I just pulled one of Hunters shirts over my head. Which really didn't cover as much as I thought it would. "You're so short." I said. "Hey I'm as short as you there little nugget." He said. "Yes but I'm a girl, for a guy you are tiny." I said giggling.
"My momma don't mind that I'm short." He joked. "Neither do I." I said pulling the covers back. "Good. And by the way. You're 5'3 I'm 5'4 so I win." He said pulling the string to the light making the room go dark. "Oh okay, it's like that." I said. "It is, sorry but don't worry I still love you shrimp." "You're gonna pay for that." I said tickling his sides. "Not that, no you're so mean to me." He said through laughter. "Me!? You called me a shrimp." I said. "But you're a very cute shrimp." He said.
"I guess that's better." I said. He gasped for breath. "Good, now you go to sleep." He said. "I'm tired, I am I just can't shut my brain off. It keeps freaking out that I'm in bed when I have so many things to do. Maybe I should just go sew a shirt or two." I said. "No you should not. You should rest. Now shh, I'm gonna sing you a song." He said.
The trouble with time is that you can't rewind it
You can't fast forward, you can't slow it down
The trouble with hearts is that they're always breaking
And they seem to like the trouble that they found
Oh, the trouble with tomorrow is it's always tomorrow
And the trouble with memories is sometimes they lie
The trouble with lonely is it sleeps right there beside you
The trouble with dreams is they never die Oh, the trouble with love
It'll get you in deep, yeah, it always does
Oh, but the trouble's gonna find you
Everybody knows it's the best kind, too
Oh, that's the trouble with love
Oh, but I got no trouble with love
Yeah, I got no trouble with love The trouble with me is that I'm always running
Hold all my secrets like I'm scared
Oh, the trouble with you is I can't say no
One little touch, I got no control
The first time, baby, I don't seem to care Oh, the trouble with love
It'll get you in deep, yeah, it always does
Oh, but the trouble's gonna find you
Everybody knows it's the best kind, too
Oh, and that's the trouble with love
Oh, you know that's the trouble with love
Oh, I got no trouble with love Oh, the trouble with love
You can have it all but you never get enough
Oh, the trouble with us
Is love's gonna get us in so much trouble Oh, the trouble with love
It'll get you in deep, but you never get enough
Oh, the trouble's gonna find you
Everybody knows it's the best kind, too
Oh, and that's the trouble with love
Oh, but I got no trouble with love Now I have no trouble with love
No, I got no trouble with love
Bring it on, bring it on, yeah
Bring it on, I got no trouble with love
I don't know if that was the end of the song. I fell asleep somewhere in it.
