What did we do?

We still can't take it easy

      Hunter had finished up his album with two weeks to spare. So he had interviews like crazy. He was on talk shows and radio and internet. He met with magazine people and anybody else you could imagine. Which was fine with me. I needed to get ready to launch. I was calling people last minute to make sure they would be coming to the launch. I didn't want any empty seats. I had three up front for Taylor, Gabby and Riley. I was excited for them to meet.

       I'd been in talks with the party planner. Who assured me everything was going as planned. I confirmed with all the models, hair and makeup people. Even the person bringing the appetizers. I wasn't trying to feed everybody but i didn't want people to starve. Hunter knew of a local DJ who mixed me a super cool song for the girls to walk down the runway to. So i had them show up the day before. It was really me being anal.

      "Okay girls, that looked good let's walk down one more time. Gigi, could you give me a bit more attitude?" I asked. "Sure thing boss!" She said saluting me. I chuckled. My phone rang from in my pocket. "Hey um Belogios want's to put in an order. They haven't even seen all of the clothes yet and they are obsessed. What do i do?" Asked Gabby. I watched the girls coming down to the music. I stepped back so i could hear her better.

     "Then you take the order. It'll be fine. Look at the amount on the purchase order. You call the factory and tell them what you need and where it's going they'll ship it over for you. Then they'll start making more to fill the warehouse back up." I said. "Will we always get a purchase order?" Gabby asked. "You should, it just helps keeps things organized. Now you need to make sure when you drop the clothes off that you get a check. You'll deposit it into the work account i set up." "Okay um one more thing. This isn't just a regional store. It's nationwide. Mr Belogio want's your line in all of his stores." She said.

    "Okay, well then we need to know how much is going to what stores. The factory can do it. They have a separate shipping team that helps them fill orders. The guys are packing the stuff and labeling it. So just get them the numbers." I said. "Okay um Mr belogio is going to pay us. It's a lot of money i mean like more money than i've ever hopped to see in my life and this is just one chain." "Welcome to the big times." I said laughing. "I thought this would come much later though y'know?" She asked. "I do, but it's exciting. It's why i had to hire you. I almost feel guilty that i'm leaving." I said.

                     The last girl finished her walk and the music cut off. "Hold on Gabs." I covered the phone with my hand. "That looked great, thank you guys. You can go. I'll see you on Saturday!" I waved and the room got quiet. "Okay i'm back." I said. "Okay good, now don't you dare feel guilty about leaving. You have had a crazy year. Between being dumped and fired and then stuck with a guy in a new state and not being able to leave. And then rising a company from nothing. I mean you earned it. I just wanted you to know what was going on. I'm still learning but i feel like after we do this one time we'll be pros. Trust us, it's why you hired us. And we'll call if we need you." She said.

              "Good okay, i'll come by and take a look at the order and we'll get it sorted." "Good Taylor picked up some pizza for lunch." Said Gabby. "Great i'm starving. Are ya'll still doing work out of the tiny hotel room?" I asked. "We are, it's a little tough but were making do." She said. "I know a girl who can find you a house." I said. "Unless your buying we might wanna hold off." Said Gabby sighing. "Well tell you what. I'm gonna buy you a house." "I was kidding, i couldn't take that." Said Gabby. "Yes we can! Tell her we want a pool." Said Taylor close to the phone.

                "She's right, you totally can. You guys dropped everything to come work for me. You didn't have to. And we can't have you working out of a hotel room now can we? That can't be cheap." I said. "Well you've got me there. Okay call the girl." "I'll call her on my way to you." I said. "Okay great. See you soon." Said Gabby hanging up.
