My Brothers Best Man (editing)

It's been a couple days since that electrifying kiss.

Well it was a bit more than a kiss, but it's been on replay in my mind all day ever since. Every time I think about it I feel my body ignite with desire. I have never felt this about anyone ever. The physical attraction I feel for Axel is insane. This is the feeling I see in the movies and read in books. I've also witnessed it with James and Marilyn. Being in the same room as them you could physically feel their love. Not saying I'm in love with him! Just, you know, that we have a connection.

I've decided to start my own business, I haven't told anyone my love for designing lingerie, and dresses of all occasions. I have a couple of pieces in a bag that I had shoved to the back of my closet. They aren't great but they have potential. I made two lingerie pieces. One is full body and the other is two pieces. The full body one is a soft stretchy material, it has fish net stockings, that connect in a X over the torso and breasts. The back is low and the middle where the vagina should go is open for easy access.

The two piece lingerie, is a pretty mint color, the cups are sheer with tiny flowers on the outline of the cup. The bottoms, are the same color, same material (sheer) and also has a couple flowers on the waist band. It's a simpler but sexy look. I made it to my size so I can try it on and make alterations if needed.

I'm making my dress size inclusive. So I have two dresses, unfortunately since I don't have anyone to model my pieces or use for measurements on a bigger size, both are my size. I'm going to be looking for some models today. My savings account can afford a couple minutes of measuring and another day after I make the dress for them to try on. I'm looking for 5 women. Someone tall, someone small, someone thin and  two women who are on the bigger side with different body shapes.

I'm going to be meeting my parents for lunch and I'll tell them. I hope they will be okay with it. It's not as high up as a doctor or lawyer but it will make me happy. I'm using the money I've been saving and money I had kept to the side when I was using my parents money.

Knowing my parents, they'd choose a swanky place to eat, so I have to dress accordingly. Which I like to do every once in a while, it brings me fond memories of my childhood.

It's a good thing I kept a lot of my fancy clothes. I decided on a black and white tweed skirt and matching jacket with three quarter sleeves. I put a silk sleeveless blouse under, leaving jacket unbuttoned so the blouse is seen. To complete the look, I add a pearl choker, matching studs and black 2 inch, closed toe heels.

I lift my hair up and tie it in a tight low bun at the nape of my neck, this was always my go to hair style. For my makeup, I wore simple mascara and a pink lip gloss.

30 minutes later, I'm sitting across my parents in a 5 star American food restaurant. I just told them my plans for my future.

"Riley, that's the career you want? Are you sure?" My mother's hand grabs my fathers for, I'm assuming, help.

I smile at them despite the feeling of exasperation, "yes, it's my passion. I have so many sketches, I know mom is into fashion so I brought my sketch book."

"Well, a doctor is what I'd expect you to go for, it's in your blood. How do you even know if this business will take off?" My mom stuck her nose up into the air  as if I'm suddenly below her.

"It's what I want to do, it maybe not be on the same level as a doctor but it's a great career. So many people are fashion designers and make more than enough money. It's not guaranteed to work out but I'm willing to risk it. I'd rather be happy doing something I love than miserable in a 9-5 I don't enjoy." I keep my voice low and calm, even though on the inside I'm feeling like she will never accept what I want.
