What did we do?

Now it's my turn

    The day of the runway show was finally here. I was backstage helping girls into shoes and making last minute edits. I was fixing makeup and hair so it was just perfect. Hunter looked on smiling. I don't know why he was so amazed but i loved him for it. I saw Riley come in. "Hey!" I said giving him a hug. "Hey, why couldn't you hook me up with a model again?" Riley asked laughing. "My friend is nice?" I shrugged.

             Gabby and Taylor were supposed to be here any minute. I couldn't wait to introduce them. I'd been raving about Taylor and pumping her up. I heard squeals and knew the girls were here. They ran up to me. Both of them eyeing Riley. He walked up to Gabby. "You must be Taylor, oh my gosh. I love that band!" He said pointing to her bracelet. "Me too! Aiden Cooper is a genius!" Gabby said. "He totally is, in fact he's the reason i got into music in the first place. My first album was kind of a tribute thing. It was rough and done in my basement but man." Said Riley.

          He and Gabby kept talking excitedly. "Actually I'm Taylor. Excuse me? Hello?" Taylor tried to get his attention. "Yea Jess, thanks for setting me up with Riley he seems nice." Said Taylor sarcastically. "I'm sorry." I said putting my hands out. "I didn't know they'd hit it off so well."  I shrugged. "No don't shrug at me. He's gonna be huge, i can tell. I want a cute country star boyfriend." Taylor pouted.

         It took a few minutes but Riley found out Taylor was Taylor. He apologized but Taylor wasn't having it. She said she could see that he hit it off with Gabby and they should get to know each other. "Don't worry, i know tons of single guys." Said Hunter. "Really?? Can you get me in with Kane Brown?" Taylor asked. "I could, but he's married to Katelyn Jae. They got married in 2018." Said Hunter apologetically. 

        "Dustin Lynch?" Taylor asked. "Oh no he's taken...with what's her name? The model right?" He looked to me. "Oh yea, Kelli Seymour." I finished. "Right, that's it." "You guys make me sick." Taylor said. "Somebody sounds jealous." I said. "I am jealous now find me a man! Oh I know! Sam Hunt." Taylor said. "Mhm Hannah Fowler." Said Hunter. "But I know who I could hook you up with. Today I was at an interview with Good Day Nashville. There was a guy who's opening up for Jason Aldean. Named Dalton Green." Taylor put her hand up and pulled out her phone after doing a google image search her mouth fell open. "Yes, he will do nicely but I want to meet him alone so he isn't confused on who his date is." Taylor said.

           "Fine, I'll set something up." Hunter said chuckling. People were filling in the seats. I peaked out the curtain. "Wow were gonna have a full house." I said. "Nervous?" Hunter asked. "Only a little. I know the clothes are good. I've worked so hard and i love each and every piece. We already have a huge order. Everything should be fine." I said. "Great, were proud of you.. And we love you but were gonna take our seats." Said Gabby. She was holding Riley's hand. Aw. I wanted this for her. She never liked anybody and could care less about dating. But they were so cute together. "What she said. Proud of you. Love you. Thanks for the job. Good luck." Taylor said shooting me a thumbs up. They went to find their seats. 

        I turned around and started lining the girls up. They all looked perfect. I lint rolled a few of the outfits as I walked by. But it was perfect. I grabbed hunters hand and squeezed it. "You'll do great out there." He said. "Thanks. I love you." I said. "Love you too." He said giving me a quick kiss. I walked out onto the stage and the crowd cheered. "Thank you so much for joining me today. I hope you all enjoy the collection I put together. I am so enraptured by it. Classic Keepsakes is the name I went with for now.  Because I hope these pieces will be kept for years to come. Thank you!" I said stepping back behind the curtain and my music was started.

          The girls stomped out attitude and all. The crowd was on fire. They loved the pieces. The press snapped lots of photos. I hoped I would blow up. Once the girls were done and changed I thanked them again and ran out from back stage. Press hounded me. People wanting to put in orders flooded me. It was great. I gave them the fax number to the girls' new office. Promises of orders to come came in. After I answered what seemed liked dozens of question and taking a million photos I was wiped. 

         I found Taylor. "Hey, I have a question." I said. "Shoot." "I thought you were hitting it off with Jackson." I said. "Ugh please. When I told him we were moving he broke things off with me. Said it would be too hard doing the long distance thing. He was more of a pretty face and great kisser. That's why I needed a date. To make his pretty face jealous." She said. I giggled. "I doubt this new guy is gonna be game for a wedding states over. But good luck with that." I said patting her on the arm.

          Once everything was cleared out the party planner schedule a clean up crew to put the place back in order. I was grateful because I was tired. But Sunday I was going to rest. Everything was done on both our ends. Or so I thought. The girls got more orders than we thought. Which, not a bad thing. I had to go help them with it. But Hunter came and helped a bit. Then we had to head to our interview.

        "Hi Gale." Hunter said shaking her hand. "Hunter, Jessica. Can I get you guys anything?" She asked. "No thank you." We said politely but truth be told if I had asked her for some hot chocolate. She would've found some. Maybe being famous did have a few perks even if I was to nice to ever use them.

        She started with Hunter. "Your new album just dropped how are you feeling?" She asked. "Super excited. I'm so glad to get to do a three part deal. I'll write for the second album while on tour for the first. It's great." "What kinds of songs do you have on the album?" She asked. "Songs about love and life." He smiled at me. "Sounds great. How are you going to like touring with your wife coming along this time?" She asked.

           "I'm excited to have the alone time. The band got a bus and it'll be great." He said. She turned to me. "Your new line just dropped. How's it going?" She asked. "Great, we already have a few big orders." I said. "Great, it seems like perfect timing you and Hunter got married. But I have a question. You got married so quickly. In the pictures the two of you almost seem high." She said. I laughed. "We were, high on love." I said. "Seriously?" She gave me a look. "Okay fine, Do either of us look like the kind to get high?" I asked.

            "No." She narrowed her eyes. "But it seemed so soon. Why did you get married so quickly?" She asked. Hunter put his hand on mine. "Love. We just couldn't wait. But now we finally found the time to get married where all of our family can come." I said. "Right...well I'm happy for the two of you then." She smiled. She asked about our wedding plans and what we'd do on the honey moon. Then what we planned to do once we returned. Once the interview was finally done we headed home. Now time to get ready for the wedding.
